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.
Pawaamuwiti kala twendereyiti na mwanja mpaka Italiya, wamtuliti Paulu pamwera na watatirwa wanonga pasi pa ulolera wa Yuliu yakaweriti mkulu gwa mashonta pakati shipinga yawashishema “shipinga sha Augustu.”
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.
Tukweniti meli ya Adiramitu iweriti yangugenda na kupitira bandali zimu za mkowa gwa Asiya, tuyanja mwanja. Alisitariku, mwenikaya gwa Makedoniya kulawa Tesaloniki, kaweriti pamwera natwenga.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Shirawu yakuwi tusulusiyi nanga pakati pa bandali ya sidoni. Yuliu kamtendiriti Paulu viheri kwa kumluusu kawawoni waganja wakuwi na kumpanana nfiru zyakuwi.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Kulawa aku twendereyiti na mwanja, kumbiti kuweriti na lihega liweriti lyankuvuma kwa kanongola nentu kutuyizira kwa ulongolu, tupitiliti uwega wa shisiwa sha kupiru kweni lihega liweriti livuwa ndiri.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Shakapanu tulokiti bahali ya kilikiya na Pamfiliya, tusulusiiti nanga Mura, lushi lya Lukiya.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Panu afisa ulii kawoniti meli yimu ya Alekizandiriya yaiweriti yankugenda Italiya, na hangu katukweniziya twingira mngati mwakuwi.
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.
Tugenditi mpolimpoli kwa mashaka gavuwa na kwa ntabiku tusokiti pakwegera na Kenidu. Toziya lihega liweriti lyankali lyankutukoma, tupitira uwega wa kushana kushisiwa sha Kireti, kugenda Salumoni.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Tupititi pambeku yakuwi mpolimpoli kwa ntabika tuyingiriti pahali pawapashema “Bandali nyanyi,” pakwegera na lushi lwa Laseya.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
Shipindi shivuwa shipititi, na hata mashaka ga kulikala pota kuliya gaweriti gaperiti kala. Vinu iweriti atali nentu kugenda na meli. Su, Paulu kawayupiti moyu,
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.”
“Watuwa, nulihola handa mwanja agu haguweri gwa ntabiku na kwa asala ivuwa kwa memiziwu ya meli hera, ila viraa kwa makaliru getu.”
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.
Kumbiti afisa ulii kakwegitwi nentu na maholu ga nahoza na ga mweni kana meli kuliku galii gakatakuliti Paulu.
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.
Toziya bandali ayi iweriti ndiri pahala paherepa pa kulivaga shipindi sha mbepu, wavuwa wafiriti kwendeleya na mwanja, payiwezekana mpaka Foiniki. Foiniki ndo bandali ya Kireti yaigenda kushana na kwaguzyeta mshenji na kusika na kwaguzyeta mshenji, na aku mewawezi kulivaga shipindi sha mbepu.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Su, lihega lyanyanyi lya kusi lyanjiti kuvuma, nawomberi washeriti wapata lengu lyawu. Hangu wawusiya nanga, wendesha meli pakwegera nentu na mpeku ya Kireti.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
Kumbiti katepu hera, lihega likalipa lishemwa “Lihega lya kusika” liyanja kuvuma kulawa kushisiwa.
15 When the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
Lihega liikomiti meli ilii, na toziya tusinditi kulidiwira, tuyileka ijegwijegwi na lihega ali.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Litanda limu lyalishemwa Kauda litupingira shididini kwa liyega lilii, na patupititi kusika mwakuwi tufauliti, iweriti kwa tabu, kusalimisha mtumbwi gwa meli.
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.
Wanamashi walii wagunikiti mtumbwi mngati, shakapanu wayizyengetiziya meli ngoyi na kuitawa kwa likakala. Watiriti kuwera mewawezi kugomuluwa pambeku pa Siriti. Hangu wasulusiyiti matanga na kuyileka meli ijegwijegwi na lihega.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Lipuga lyendereyiti kuvuma na shirawu yakuwi wayanja kuyasa kunja shehena ya meli.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
Lishaka lya tatu, wayanja viraa kuyasa mmashi vintu vya meli kwa mawoku gawu weni.
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.
Kwa shipindi sha mashaka gatangala tuweza ndiri kuwona mshenji ama ntondi, lipuga lyendereyiti kuvuma nentu, ata litumbiru lyoseri lya kuponeka litupera.
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.
Pa kulivaga shipindi shitali pota kuliya shiboga, Paulu kagolokiti pakati pawu, katakula, “Waheshimiwa, meyiweriti mbaka handa mungampikiniriti na kuleka mwanja kulawa Kireti handa mngatenditi hangu metushapili tabu ayi na asala zoseri azi.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Kumbiti vinu nankuwaluweni muweri na moyu, kwahera hata yumu gwenu mekahowiziyi ukomu wakuwi, meli hera ndo haiyagamili.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Toziya lishu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa ulii Mlungu mweni neni ndo gwakuwi na yomberi neni numguwira kandawiliti,
24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
kang'ambira, ‘Paulu, kotukutira! Mpaka hagugoloki pawulongolu pa Kaisari, na Mlungu, kwa lusungu lyakuwi kakutangi kwa kuwalopoziya woseri wawagenda mwanja na gwenga.’
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Hangu, wahishimiwa, mulipanani moyu! Toziya numjimira Mlungu kuweri hayiweri teratera ntambu yawang'ambiriti.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
Kumbiti ndo mpaka hatuyaswi kumpeku kushisiwa tunga.”
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.
Pashiru pa lishaka lya lilongu na msheshi tuweriti twankukwegwa aku na aku mubahali ya Adria. Pakwegera na pashiru nentu, washima mitumbwi waliholiti kuwera wapakwegera na isi iyuma.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Hangu wasakuliti utali wa bahari kwa kusulusiya lugoyi lwawatawiti shintu shitopa, wapata utali wa mita malongu msheshi. Shakapanu wapima kayi wapata mita malongu matatu.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Toziya ya kutila kugomuluwa mumatalawu, wasulusiyiti nanga msheshi kumpeli kumeli, waluwa kushii kanongola.
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,
Wanamashi wafiriti kushapira, na wasulusiyiti kala mtumbwi mmashi, walipayira handa wagenda kusulusiya nanga uwega wa kulongolu kwa meli.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Kumbiti Paulu kamgambiriti mkulu gwa jeshi ulii na wanjagila wakuwi, “Handa wanamashi awa hapeni wasigali mngati mwa mtumbwi, hapeni mlopoziwi.”
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Panu wanjagila walii wazidumuliti ngoyi zyaziweriti zikolera mtumbwi, waguleka gutolwi na mashi.
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.
Pakwegera na mandawira, Paulu kawahimiziyiti woseri walii shiboga “Kwa mashaka lilongu na msheshi vinu muwera mumashashatiku na pota kuliya, hamweni lii shintu shoseri.
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.”
Su, nuwaluwa mlii shiboga toziya mshifira su muwezi kwendeleya kulikala. Toziya ata viri yimu mumituwi yenu hapeni yagamiri”
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.
Pakatakulita kala hangu, Paulu katoliti libumunda, kalonga maya ga shi Mlungu pamberi pa woseri, kaumega, kanja kuliya.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Panu woseri wapata moyu, na womberi vila waliya shiboga.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Woseri waweriti wantu mia mbili na malongu saba na sita mumeli.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Pa kila yumu kuliya shiboga sha kwikuta, wapunguliti kutopa kwa meli kwa kuyasa viboga mubahari.
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.
Pawushiiti, wanamashi wawezandiri kuyimana isi ilii. Ira wawoniti guba yimu yana mpeku, Waamuwa kusulusiya nanga aku handa payiwezikana.
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.
Hangu wazidumuliti nanga na kuzileka mubahari, na shipindi shiraa ashi waziyopola ngoyi zaziweriti ziguyopa msukanu, shakapanu wagolosiya tanga yimu palongolu kukola lihega, wagenditi kumpeku.
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.
Kumbiti wasokiti pahali pena mikondu miwili ya bahari iliwona, na meli igomuluwa. Seemu ya palongolu iweriti imiruwa mumhanga pota kutikinyika. Seemu ya kumbeli ya meli iyanjiti kumegeka vipandi vipandi kwa makomangu ga likakala lya makupala.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Wanjagira wafiriti kuwalaga watatirwa woseri kwa kutira handa wankusuga mpaka kumbeku na kutoloka.
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;
Kumbiti toziya afisa jeshi ulii kafiriti kumlopoziya Paulu, kawaberiti nawatenda hangu. Kaamuliti walii yawamana kusuga wakopoki kulawa mumeli na kusuga mpaka kumpeku.
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.
Na wamonga wayizi pawalikolilera mumbawu ama muvipandi vya meli vyavimegikiti. Ndo twenga ntambu yatusokiti nyanyi kumpeku.
