Acts 27
1 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
Tango bazwaki mokano ya kozwa masuwa mpo na kokende na Itali, bapesaki Polo elongo na ndambo ya bakangami na maboko ya Juliusi oyo azalaki mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko ya Rome, kati na mampinga ya mokonzi monene.
2 Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
Tomataki na masuwa oyo ewutaki na engumba Adramite mpo na kokende na mabongo ya pembeni-pembeni ya mokili ya Azia, mpe tokendeki; Arisitarke, moto ya Masedwane ya Tesalonika, azalaki na biso elongo.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, tosemaki na engumba Sidoni. Lokola Juliusi atalisaki bolingo monene epai ya Polo, apesaki ye nzela ya kokende kotala balingami na ye mpo ete akoka kozwa masungi epai na bango.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Sima na biso kolongwa wana, tozongelaki mobembo na biso mpe tozalaki konana pembeni-pembeni ya esanga ya Shipre, mpo na kokima mipepe oyo ezalaki kobeta biso makasi mpe kopekisa biso kokende liboso.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Sima na biso kokatisa ebale monene oyo eleka pembeni-pembeni ya Silisi mpe ya Pafili, tosemaki na Mira, kati na mokili ya Lisi.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Kuna, mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko amonaki masuwa moko ya engumba Alekizandri, oyo ezalaki kokende na Itali, mpe akotisaki biso kati na yango.
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
Masuwa yango ezalaki kotambola malembe penza; boye tosalaki mikolo mwa mingi ya mobembo, mpe tokomaki na Sinide na pasi penza. Lokola mpe mopepe ezalaki kopekisa biso kokende liboso, tolekaki Salimoni mpe tokendeki na ngambo ya sude ya esanga ya Kreti.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Tozalaki konana pembeni-pembeni ya esanga yango na pasi penza kino tokomaki na esika oyo babengaka « Mabongo kitoko, » pene ya engumba Laseya.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
Lokola tolekisaki bongo tango mingi mpe masuwa ekomaki kotambola na matata, pamba te ezalaki sima na eleko ya kokila bilei, Polo akebisaki bango:
10 and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
— Baninga, nazali komona lokola likama moko ya monene kosalema na mobembo na biso, mpe ekobebisa makasi masuwa elongo na biloko, kasi biso mpe tokoki kokufa.
11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
Kasi mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko alandaki toli ya kapitene ya masuwa mpe ya nkolo masuwa, na esika ete ayoka maloba ya Polo.
12 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking southwest and northwest.
Lokola mpe libongo ezalaki esika ya malamu te mpo na kolekisa tango ya malili makasi, mingi kati na bato bazwaki mokano ete tolongwa wana mpe toluka kokoma na Fenikisi oyo ezali libongo ya Kreti, oyo etala na ngambo ya sude-weste mpe ya nor-weste, mpo na kolekisa kuna tango yango ya malili makasi.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Wana mwa mopepe moko ya sude ekomaki kopepa, bakanisaki ete posa na bango ezali kokokisama; boye batombolaki longo, mpe masuwa ekomaki kotambola pembeni-pembeni ya esanga ya Kreti.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
Kasi sima na mwa tango, mopepe moko ya makasi penza, mopepe oyo babengaka « erakiloni, » ekomaki kopepa wuta na esanga;
15 When the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
ememaki masuwa, mpe masuwa elongaki te nguya ya mopepe. Boye tomitikaki bongo na mopepe, mpe ememaki biso.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Lokola tolekaki na lombangu, na pembeni-pembeni ya esanga moke oyo babengaka Koda, tolongaki na pasi kokanga mwa bwato oyo ebikisaka bato na tango ya likama.
17 After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
Sima na komatisa yango na masuwa, bazwaki basinga mpe bakangisaki yango. Lokola bazalaki kobanga kotutana na zelo ya ngambo ya Silite, babwakaki longo ya libaya likolo ya mayi, mpe mopepe ekobaki komema masuwa.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, lokola mopepe ezalaki kaka koningisa masuwa makasi, babwakaki na ebale, biloko oyo ezalaki kati na masuwa.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
Na mokolo ya misato, na maboko na bango moko, babwakaki na ebale, biloko oyo etambolisaka masuwa.
20 When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
Lokola tosalaki mikolo ebele na kozanga komona lisusu moyi mpe minzoto te, mpe mopepe ezalaki kaka kobeta makasi, tobungisaki elikya ya kobika.
21 When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss.
Sima na bato kosala mikolo ebele oyo baliaki lisusu te, Polo atelemaki liboso na bango mpe alobaki: — Baninga na ngai, bosengelaki koyoka toli na ngai ete tolongwa na Kreti te. Soki boyokelaki ngai, likama oyo elingaki kokomela bino te mpe bolingaki te kobungisa biloko na bino.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Kasi sik’oyo, nazali kolendisa bino ete boyika mpiko, pamba te moko te kati na bino akokufa, kaka masuwa nde ekobeba.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Na butu ya lelo, Anjelu na Nzambe na ngai, oyo nasalelaka, ayaki epai na ngai
24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
mpe alobaki: « Polo, kobanga te. Osengeli kosamba liboso ya Sezare. Mpo na yo, Nzambe abateli na bomoi bato nyonso oyo ozali kosala elongo na bango mobembo kati na masuwa. »
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Baninga na ngai, boyika mpiko, pamba te nazali na kondima kati na Nzambe ete akosala ndenge kaka ayebisaki ngai.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
Kasi atako bongo, tosengeli kokangama kaka na esanga moko.
27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
Na butu ya zomi na minei, masuwa ezalaki kaka komemama epai na epai kati na ebale monene Adriatiki. Na kati-kati ya butu, basali ya masuwa bakanisaki ete tokomi pene ya mokili;
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
babwakaki singa mpo na komeka mozindo ya mayi mpe bamonaki ete mozindo ya mayi ezali na bametele pene tuku misato na sambo. Wana bapusanaki mwa liboso, bamekaki lisusu mpe bamonaki ete mozindo ya mayi ezali na bametele pene tuku mibale na mwambe.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Lokola bazalaki kobanga ete masuwa etutana na mabanga, babwakaki balongo minei na mayi wuta na sima ya masuwa, na posa makasi ya komona tongo kotana.
30 As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
Kasi, lokola basali ya masuwa balingaki kokima, babandaki kokitisa kati na ebale monene mwa bwato oyo ebikisaka bato na tango ya likama, mpe basalaki lokola nde balingi kokende kokangisa balongo na liboso ya masuwa.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Polo alobaki na mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko mpe na basoda: — Tala, soki bato oyo batikali te kati na masuwa, bino mpe bokobika te.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Boye, basoda bakataki basinga oyo esimbaki mwa bwato yango mpe batikaki yango kokweya na mayi.
33 While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
Wana bazalaki kozela tongo kotana, Polo alendisaki bato nyonso ete balia; alobaki: — Ekokisi lelo mikolo zomi na minei wuta bozali kozela, mpe bolie ata eloko moko te.
34 Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
Nasengi na bino ete bolia sik’oyo. Bosengeli na yango mpo ete bozala na bomoi. Moko te kati na bino akobungisa ata suki moko ya moto na ye.
35 When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
Sima na ye koloba bongo, akamataki lipa mpe azongisaki matondi epai na Nzambe liboso na bango nyonso; bongo akataki yango mpe abandaki kolia.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Bango nyonso balendisamaki mpe bakomaki kolia.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Kati na masuwa, tozalaki bato nkama mibale na tuku sambo na motoba.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Sima na bango kolia mpe kotonda mingi, babwakaki ble na ebale mpo na kokitisa kilo ya masuwa.
39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
Tango tongo etanaki, bamonaki mokili te, kasi bamonaki kaka libongo moko ya zelo na suka, epai ebale ekota. Boye bazwaki mokano, soki bakolonga, ya kosemisa masuwa kuna.
40 Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
Babwakaki balongo na ebale; mpe kaka na tango yango, bafungolaki basinga ya yenda, batombolaki bakapo mpo ete mopepe emema masuwa na ngambo ya libongo ya zelo.
41 But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
Kasi masuwa ekendeki kotutana na zelo ya ebale mpe ekangamaki. Wana eteni ya liboso ya masuwa ekangamaki na zelo mpe ezalaki lisusu koningana te, eteni ya sima ya masuwa epanzanaki na nguya ya bambonge.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Basoda bazwaki likanisi ya koboma bakangami mpo bazalaki kobanga ete bakatisa mayi mpe bakima.
43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
Kasi lokola mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko azalaki na posa ya kobikisa Polo, apekisaki bango kokokisa likanisi na bango. Boye, atindaki bato oyo bayebaki kokata mayi ete bazala bato ya liboso ya kokweya na mayi mpe bakende na mokili.
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
Bamosusu basengeli kolanda bango na kodiembela na mabaya to na biteni ya masuwa. Ezali ndenge wana nde bato nyonso bakomaki malamu na mokili.
