< Acts 27 >
1 When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
Are xopan ri qꞌotaj, xujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Italia. Ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ e nikꞌaj winaq chik ri e kꞌo pa cheꞌ xechajix bꞌik rumal jun chike ri kinimaꞌqil ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit ubꞌiꞌ Julio jun kinimaꞌqil ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ rech ri nim Tinimit.
2 We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
Xeꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri Aristarco qukꞌ, jun achi aj Macedonia ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Tesalónica. Xujeꞌ kꞌu pa ri jukubꞌ ri yaꞌtal bꞌe che pa ri tinimit Adramitio ri kꞌo pa Asia. Ri jukubꞌ kikꞌow bꞌik pa jaljoj taq kꞌolibꞌal chuchiꞌ ulew rech Asia.
3 The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
Are xujopan pa ri tinimit Sidón, ri Julio sibꞌalaj utz xnoꞌjin rukꞌ ri Pablo, xuya bꞌe che xqaj pa ri jukubꞌ xuꞌsolij kan ri e rech taq chꞌabꞌeꞌn rech chilaꞌ, rech kaya bꞌik ujastaq ri kajawataj che.
4 After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xujeꞌ chik pa ri plo, xqarik bꞌik nimaq taq kyaqiqꞌ ri man kuya ta bꞌe che ri jukubꞌ jaꞌ kabꞌinik. Xaq jeriꞌ xujikꞌow bꞌik chuxukut Chipre, chuxoꞌl ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew xuqujeꞌ ri nima tinimit.
5 And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
Are uj bꞌenaq pa ri cho xujikꞌow bꞌik chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ rech ri tinimit Cilicia xuqujeꞌ ri tinimit Panfilia, kꞌa te riꞌ xujtakꞌiꞌ na pa ri tinimit Mira ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Licia.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
Chilaꞌ ri kinimaꞌqil ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xuriq bꞌik jun jukubꞌ ri kape pa ri tinimit Egipto, rech ri leꞌaj Alejandría bꞌenam rij pa ri tinimit Italia, xujuya bꞌik chupam.
7 After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
Kꞌi qꞌij noꞌjim xujeꞌek, are xikꞌow taq kan ri kꞌax xujopan chuchiꞌ ri tinimit Gnido. Ri kyaqiqꞌ man kuya ta bꞌe chaqe kujbꞌinik rumal riꞌ xujikꞌow bꞌik pa ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew rech Creta, xaq koꞌl ri kyaqiqꞌ kubꞌan chuchiꞌ ri retal ri Salmón.
8 After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
Rukꞌ kꞌax xaq chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ xujeꞌ wi, kꞌisbꞌal rech xujopan chuchiꞌ ri ja ubꞌiꞌ “Utz uchiꞌ jaꞌ” jawjeꞌ utz ketakꞌiꞌ wiꞌ ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal chuxukut ri tinimit Lasea.
9 By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
Naj qꞌotaj xukꞌam bꞌik ri qabꞌinem. Xibꞌibꞌal ri bꞌinem pa ri plo rumal taq ri kyaqiqꞌ jabꞌ ri kakꞌulmatajik, ri qꞌotaj rech jabꞌ xuchapleꞌj, ri Pablo kꞌut xutzijoj rij ri tajin kakꞌulmatajik kukꞌ ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal.
10 “Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
Xubꞌij chike: Achyabꞌ, kꞌo kꞌax waꞌ kaqariqo we xaq jeꞌ kujbꞌinik, ronojel le jastaq le kꞌo pa le jukubꞌ qatzaqa kanoq, katukin waꞌ we jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal chi qa xeꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kaqarik waꞌ uj kꞌax.
11 But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
Are kꞌu ri taqanel pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit man xuta ta ri xubꞌij ri Pablo che, are xuta ri xbꞌix che rumal ri ajchoqꞌe xuqujeꞌ ri kabꞌan rech puꞌwiꞌ ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal.
12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
Are kꞌu ri tinimit ubꞌiꞌnam utz taq uchiꞌ jaꞌ man chajital taj, rumal riꞌ xibꞌibꞌal ikꞌowem chilaꞌ. E kꞌi chike ri kebꞌin pa ri plo are jeꞌl chike kiꞌkꞌow pa ri tinimit Fenice, ri kꞌo apanoq choch ri uchiꞌ jaꞌ pa ri tinimit Creta, ri Fenice sibꞌalaj jun utz laj uchiꞌ jaꞌ jawjeꞌ kikꞌowisax wi ri qꞌotaj rech jabꞌ.
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
Xwaꞌjil kꞌu jun kyaqiqꞌ ri xaq kajororik pa ri uxukut ulew, pa kikꞌuꞌx ri kabꞌan ke puꞌwiꞌ ri jukubꞌ chi maj kꞌax kakiriqo, xkiwaꞌjilisaj ri chꞌichꞌ ri kꞌo che ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal ri qajinaq pa ri jaꞌ, jeriꞌ xiꞌkꞌow bꞌik chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ rech ri tinimit Creta.
14 But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
Xaq kꞌa te xkꞌexen ri qꞌotaj, jun nimalaj kyaqiqꞌ jabꞌ ubꞌiꞌ ri kape chuxukut kaj, xpe puꞌwiꞌ ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew, xujupaqchiꞌj bꞌik pa ri plo.
15 Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
Ri kabꞌan ke puꞌwiꞌ ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal man xekwin taj xkisutij ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal xechꞌeketajik xekꞌam bꞌik rumal ri kyaqiqꞌ jabꞌ.
16 Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
Xujikꞌow chrij jun laj chꞌaqaꞌp ulew ri kꞌo pa ri plo, ubꞌiꞌ Clauda, ri man kꞌo ta wi nim kyaqiqꞌ. Rukꞌ taq kꞌax xujkwin chuyakik ri alaj taq jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal ri chararem bꞌik che toꞌbꞌal qibꞌ.
17 After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
Are kꞌo chi ri alaj taq jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal chupam ri nim jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, xkixim ri nim jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal rukꞌ kolobꞌ rech man kajaqꞌin taj. Kakixiꞌj kꞌu kibꞌ we ne kunim ribꞌ ri nim jukubꞌ pa ri sanyobꞌ ri ubꞌiꞌ Sirte, rumal riꞌ xkiqasaj ri manta ri kꞌo puꞌwiꞌ ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal.
18 We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.
Chukabꞌ qꞌij, rumal chi sibꞌalaj nim uchuqꞌabꞌ ri kyaqiqꞌ chupam ri qꞌeqal jabꞌ, xkichap resaxik ri eqaꞌn pa ri jukubꞌ xkikꞌyaq bꞌik pa ri plo.
19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
Churox qꞌij chik xekꞌyaq bꞌik ri chakubꞌal taq jastaq rech ri jukubꞌ pa ri jaꞌ.
20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.
Kꞌi qꞌij man xqil ta uwach ri qꞌij o ri chꞌumil, xqarik kꞌax rumal ri nimalaj qꞌeqal jabꞌ. Xqachomaj kꞌut chi kujkam kanoq, man kuꞌl ta chi qa kuꞌx kujkꞌasiꞌk.
21 After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.
Kꞌi qꞌij chik ikꞌowinaq man kꞌo ta qawa qatijom, rumal riꞌ ri Pablo xtakꞌiꞌ chiqaxoꞌl, xubꞌij: Achyabꞌ, sibꞌalaj utz we ta xita ri xinbꞌij, mat xujel loq pa Creta, rech mat xqariq waꞌ we kꞌax riꞌ xuqujeꞌ we tzaqik.
22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.
Kamik kꞌut chikꞌama ichuqꞌabꞌ, man kꞌo ta jun chiꞌwe kakamik, xane xwi ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal katukin na, kasach kꞌu uwach.
23 For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
Chaqꞌabꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel chinuwach ri taqom loq rumal ri Dios ri kinpatanij, xuqujeꞌ kinqꞌijilaꞌj.
24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
Xubꞌij kꞌu chwe: “Pablo, maxiꞌj awibꞌ, katopan na rukꞌ ri César ri nimalaj taqanel puꞌwiꞌ Roma. Rumal awech ri Dios kuꞌtoꞌ na konojel ri e bꞌenaq awukꞌ pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ, rech man kekam taj.”
25 So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
Rumal riꞌ, achyabꞌ, chikꞌama ichuqꞌabꞌ. Kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx in chirij ri Dios, kinkojo chi qas tzij je kabꞌantaj na jas ri xbꞌix chwe rumal ri ángel.
26 However, we must run aground on some island.”
Kujkanaj kꞌu na kan pa jun chꞌaqaꞌp ulew ri kꞌo pa ri plo jawjeꞌ ri kujuya wi kan ri kyaqiqꞌ.
27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
Pa jun aqꞌabꞌ, chukabꞌ wuqubꞌ qꞌij rech ri qabꞌinem pa ri plo Adria, kujupaqchiꞌla ri kyaqiqꞌ. Are xuriq nikꞌaj aqꞌabꞌ, ri achyabꞌ ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal xkilo chi kujnaqajin che ri ulew.
28 They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep. Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.
Xketaj ri unajal ri upam ri plo, xkilo chi juwinaq waqlajuj metros qajinaq. Xujbꞌin chi apanoq jubꞌiqꞌ, te kꞌu riꞌ xketaj chi junmul, xkil kꞌut chi xa juwinaq wuqubꞌ metros chik.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
Kakixiꞌj kꞌu kibꞌ we ne kajaqꞌin ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal cho taq ri abꞌaj, rumal riꞌ xkiqasaj bꞌik kajibꞌ nimaq taq chꞌichꞌ chrij ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal. Konojel xkibaꞌn chꞌawem rech kasaqir aninaq, rumal sibꞌalaj kakixiꞌj kibꞌ.
30 Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
Ri achyabꞌ ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik ri jukubꞌ xkichomaj chi keꞌl bꞌik pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal chutoꞌik kibꞌ. Rumal riꞌ xkichapleꞌj u qasaxik ri alaj taq jukubꞌ pa ri plo, xkijaluj tajin kakiqasaj nikꞌaj chꞌichꞌ chik ri kachapow ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal.
31 But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Are kꞌu ri Pablo xubꞌij che ri nim taqanel pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xuqujeꞌ chike ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit: We man kekanaj kan ri achyabꞌ ri e kꞌamowinaq bꞌik ri jukubꞌ chupam ri jukubꞌ, man kixkwin taj kitoꞌ iwibꞌ.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
Xepe kꞌu ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xkiqupij ri kolobꞌ ri ximbꞌem ri alaj jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal xkitzoqopij bꞌik pa ri plo.
33 Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
Are xsaqirik ri Pablo xubꞌij chike konojel chi kuyaꞌo kewaꞌik, xubꞌij chike: Xeꞌ kajlajuj qꞌij man ixwarinaq taj, xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jas itijom.
34 So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
Chixwoꞌq chibꞌana toqꞌobꞌ rumal cher xa ta ne jun kutzaq jun uwiꞌ chaqe.
35 After he had said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
Are xbꞌiꞌtaj waꞌ rumal, ri Pablo xukꞌam ri kaxlan wa, xutyoxij che ri Dios chkiwach konojel, kꞌa te riꞌ xupirij, xutijo.
36 They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.
Kꞌa te riꞌ konojel xkikꞌam chuqꞌabꞌ, xkichapleꞌj waꞌim.
37 In all, there were 276 of us on board.
Uj kebꞌ ciento rukꞌ oxkꞌal waqibꞌ chqonojel ri uj kꞌo pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal.
38 After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
Are xqalej, xkesaj kan ri tiriko pa ri jukubꞌ, xkikꞌyaq kan pa ri plo rech man kuya ta al pa ri jukubꞌ.
39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
Are xsaqirik man xkichꞌobꞌ ta ubꞌiꞌ ri ulew ri xkil apanoq, xkil kꞌu apanoq jun uqꞌabꞌ plo ri okinaq bꞌik chupam ri ulew, sanyobꞌ uchiꞌ. Xkichomaj resaxik bꞌik ri jukubꞌ je laꞌ pa ri ulew we kekwinik.
40 Cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea as they loosened the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
Xkiqupij ri kolobꞌ ri ximowinaq ri chꞌichꞌ ri kachapow ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal pa ri plo, xuqujeꞌ xeꞌkikir taq ri paleꞌt ri ketoꞌw chubꞌinisaxik ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ. Xkiyak ri manta ri kꞌo choch ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal rech kuriq ri kyaqiqꞌ, xkiqebꞌisaj kꞌu ri jukubꞌ chunaqaj ri sanyobꞌ chiꞌ ri plo.
41 But the vessel struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was being broken up by the pounding of the waves.
Xopan ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal jawjeꞌ e kꞌo wi kebꞌ bꞌinel jaꞌ, xchꞌapiꞌ pa ri jutanaj sanyobꞌ. Ri utzaꞌm ri jukubꞌ xunim bꞌi ribꞌ pa ri sanyobꞌ, are kꞌu ri rij ri jukubꞌ xuchapleꞌj jaqꞌinik rumal ri uchuqꞌabꞌ ri jaꞌ.
42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom.
Ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit xkichomaj kikamisaxik ri winaq ri okisatal pa cheꞌ, rech man kꞌo ta jun kamuxanik, kanimaj bꞌik.
43 But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul’s life, thwarted their plan. He commanded those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
Are kꞌu ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, karaj kutoꞌ kan ri Pablo, rumal riꞌ man xuya ta bꞌe che ri xkichomaj. Xuꞌtaq kꞌu konojel ri achyabꞌ ri kekwinik kemuxanik, kakikꞌyaq bꞌik kibꞌ pa ri plo rech koꞌpan cho ri ulew.
44 The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.
