Acts 27
1 And when it was determined for us to sail for Italy, they delivered both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the band of Augustus.
Zvino kwakati kwatemwa kuti tiende kuItaria nechikepe, vakakumikidza Pauro nevamwewo vasungwa kumukuru wezana wainzi Juriasi, wehondo yamambo mukuru.
2 And having gotten on a ship of Adramyttium that was going to sail to the places along Asia, we launched, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Zvino takati tapinda muchikepe cheAdhiramitiyamu, chaiva choda kuenda nemugungwa tichitevedza nzvimbo dzeAsia, tikatanga kufamba nechikepe, Arisitako muMakedhonia weTesaronika anesu.
3 And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, who treated Paul kindly, allowed him to undergo care, after going to his friends.
Chifume tikasvika paSidhoni; Juriasi akabata Pauro zvakanaka, akamutendera kuti aende kushamwari, kuti abatsirwe.
4 And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Takati tabva ipapo nechikepe tikapfuura takadzikatirwa neSaipuresi, nokuti mhepo yaitipikisa,
5 And having sailed across the depths along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, of Lycia.
tikati tayambuka gungwa rakatevedza Kirikia nePamufiriya, takasvika paMaira yeRisia.
6 And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it.
Ipapo mukuru wezana akawana chikepe cheAreksandiria chinoenda kuItaria, ndokutipinza machiri.
7 And sailing slowly during considerable days, and with difficulty having come along the Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under lee of Crete, along Salmone.
Zvino takati tananaira nechikepe mazuva mazhinji, tikasvika pakatarisana neKinido nemutsutsururu, mhepo isingatitenderi, tikaburuka takatevedza Kirete, kwakatarisana neSarimoni;
8 And sailing by it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was Lasea City.
tikapapfuura nemutsutsururu tikasvika pane imwe nzvimbo panonzi Zororo Rakanaka; pedo naro paiva neguta Rasea.
9 And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged,
Zvino nguva huru yakati yapfuura, nekufamba nechikepe ikozvino kwava nenjodzi, nokuti kutsanyawo kwakange kwatopfuura, Pauro akavayambira,
10 saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to be with injury and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
achiti kwavari: Varume, ndinoona kuti rwendo rwuchava nekukuvara nekurasikirwa kuzhinji, zvisati zviri zvemutoro nechikepe chete, asi nekweupenyu hwedu.
11 But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul.
Asi mukuru wezana wakatenda mufambisi wechikepe nemwene wechikepe kupfuura zvinhu zvakarehwa naPauro.
12 And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest.
Zvino sezvo zororo rakange risina kunaka kugarwa muchando, vazhinji vakayambira kuti pabviwe, zvimwe vangagona kusvika kuFenikisi vagareko muchando, ndiro zororo reKirete, rakange rakatarira kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumavirira nekumaodzanyemba akadziva kumavirira.
13 And when a south wind blew gently, having presumed to have obtained their purpose, after taking up anchor, they sailed very near by Crete.
Zvino mhepo yechamhembe yakati ichifefetera, vakafunga kuti vawana vavariro yavo, vakabvisa zvipingo zvechikepe, vakatevedza pedo neKirete nechikepe.
14 But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.
Asi pasina kupfuura nguva huru mhepo ine simba yainzi Yurokiridhoni, yakachirova;
15 And the ship having been caught, and not being able to face the wind, having given up, we were driven.
zvino chikepe chakati chabatwa, chisingagoni kumirisana nemhepo, tikarega tikakukurwa.
16 And having sailed under lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were able with difficulty, to develop control of the skiff.
Zvino takatevedza zasi kwechimwe chiwi chidiki chinonzi Kraudha, tikakwanisa kubata chikepe nemutsutsururu;
17 And having taken that up, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they might fall off into the sandbank, having lowered the vessel, they were driven this way.
chavakati vachisimudza, vakashandisa zvibatsiro, vachisunga chikepe nepasi; vachitya kuti vacharasikira paSetisi, vakaderedza seiri, ndokukukurwa saizvozvo.
18 And since we were exceedingly storm-tossed, on the next day they jettisoned.
Zvino tichatambudzwa kwazvo nedutu remhepo, chifume vakabudisa nhumbi kunze;
19 And the third day we cast out by hands the tackling of the ship.
uye pazuva retatu, takarasa zvombo zvechikepe nemaoko edu pachedu.
20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for more days, and no small storm laying on, all remaining hope for us to be saved was taken away.
Zvino kwakati kusina kuonekwa zuva kana nyeredzi kwemazuva mazhinji, nedutu risati riri diki remhepo richisimba, kubva ipapo tariro yese yekuti tichaponeswa ikatorwa.
21 And being long without food, then Paul, who stood in the midst of them, said, Ye truly ought, O men, to have complied with me, not to launch from Crete, and gain this damage and loss.
Zvino yakati yava nguva refu vasingadyi, ipapo Pauro akamira pakati pavo, akati: Haiwa, varume, mungadai makanditeerera mukasabva paKirete, mukapukunyuka kukuvara uku nekurasikirwa.
22 And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.
Asi ikozvino ndinokukurudzirai kuti mutsunge moyo; nokuti hakungavi nekurasikirwa neupenyu pakati penyu, asi kwechikepe.
23 For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
Nokuti usiku huno kwakamira neni mutumwa waMwari, wandiri wake, newandinoshumira,
24 saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.
achiti: Usatya Pauro; unofanira kumira pamberi paKesari; zvino tarira, Mwari wakupa vese vanofamba newe muchikepe.
25 Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.
Naizvozvo varume tsungai moyo; nokuti ndinotenda kuna Mwari kuti zvichava saizvozvi senzira yandakaudzwa nayo.
26 But we must fall off upon a certain island.
Asi tinofanira kurasirwa pane chimwe chiwi.
27 And when it became the fourteenth night, as we were driven about in the Adriatic sea, toward midnight the sailors suspected some region to come near them.
Zvino usiku hwegumi neuna hwakati hwasvika, tichangomveeswa muAdhira, panenge pakati peusiku, vafambisi vechikepe vakafunga kuti imwe nyika yoswedera kwavari;
28 And having tossed lead, they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and having tossed lead again, they found fifteen fathoms.
vakakanda gavi rekuyera kudzika vakawana mafadomi makumi maviri; vakati vapfuura zvishoma, vakakandazve gavi rekuyera kudzika, vakawana mafadomi gumi nemashanu;
29 And fearing lest somehow we might falloff on rough places, having cast off four anchors from the stern, they prayed for day to develop.
zvino vakatya kuti zvimwe tichawira pamabwe, vakakanda zvipingo zvina neshure kwechikepe, vakashuva kuedza.
30 And since the sailors sought to flee out of the ship, and having lowered the skiff into the sea in pretense as going to stretch out anchors from the bow,
Zvino vafambisi vechikepe vakati vachitsvaka kutiza muchikepe, vaburusira igwa mugungwa, vachiita sevanenge vokanda zvipingo mberi kwechikepe,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Pauro akati kumukuru wezana nekumauto: Kana ava vakasagara muchikepe, imwi hamugoni kuponeswa.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff, and let it fall off.
Ipapo mauto akagura mabote egwa, ndokurirega rikawa.
33 And until day was going to develop, Paul urged them all to partake of food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day, waiting, ye continue without food, having taken nothing.
Zvino kwakati koedza, Pauro akakumbirisa vese kuti vadye, achiti: Nhasi izuva regumi nechina ramakagarira muchitsanya, musingadyi chinhu.
34 Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.
Saka ndinokukumbirisai kuti mudye; nokuti ndezveruponeso rwenyu; nokuti hakuna ruvhudzi rwuchawa pamusoro weumwe wenyu.
35 And having said these things, and having taken bread, he expressed thanks to God in the presence of all. And having broke in pieces, he began to eat.
Wakati areva zvinhu izvi, atora chingwa, akavonga kuna Mwari pamberi pavo vese, akati achimedura akatanga kudya.
36 And they all, having become encouraged, also took food.
Zvino vakatsunga moyo vese, uye ivo vakadya.
37 And all the souls in the ship were two hundred seventy-six.
Zvino isu, mweya yese yaiva muchikepe, taiva mazana maviri nemakumi manomwe nevatanhatu.
38 And after being filled of food, they unloaded the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Zvino vakati vaguta kudya vakarerusa chikepe, vachikanda zviyo kunze mugungwa.
39 And when it became day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which, they decided if possible, to drive the ship.
Kwakati kwaedza, vakasaziva nyika; asi vakaona rimwe mhenderekedzo rekuzorora raiva nemahombekombe ejecha, vakarangana kana vaigona, kuti vasundire chikepe pariri.
40 And having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time unfastening the bands of the rudders. And having hoisted up the foresail to the wind, they held firm for the shore.
Zvino vakagura zvipingo, vakazvisiya mugungwa, nenguva iyoyo vakasunungura zvisungo, vakasimudzira seiri repamberi kumhepo, vakaruramira kumahombekombe.
41 And having chanced upon a place where two seas meet, they ran the ship aground. And of course, the bow having become stuck, it remained immovable, but the stern was coming apart by the force of the waves.
Zvino vakati vachiwira panzvimbo pamasanganirano emakungwa, vakagumhirisa chikepe pasi; muromo ukabatira ndokurambira usingazununguki, asi rutivi rweshure rukavhunika nesimba remafungu.
42 And a decision of the soldiers developed that they should kill the prisoners, lest any man, having swam away, might escape.
Zvino zano remauto rekuti vauraye vasungwa, kuti zvimwe vamwe vangashambira vakatiza.
43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prevented them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, having first jumped out, to go to the land,
Asi mukuru wezana achida kuponesa Pauro, akavadzivisa pazvinangwa zvavo, akaraira kuti vanogona kushambira vatange kuzviwisira mugungwa, vaende kunyika;
44 and the remaining, some on boards, and some on any of the things from the ship. And so it came to pass for all to be saved to the land.
uye vakasara, vamwe pamatanda, vamwe pane zvimwe zvipenga zvechikepe. Saizvozvowo zvakaitika kuti vese vakasvika kunyika vari vapenyu.
