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.
Bho jhiamulibhu kujha twilondeka kusafiri kwa masi kulota Italia, bhan'kabidhi Paulo ni bhafungwa bhangi kwa afisa mmonga bhwa jeshi la Kiroma jhaakutibhweghe Julio, ghwa kikosi kya Agustani.
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.
Twakweli meli kuhoma Adramitamu, ambajho jhajhele isafiriajhi mundemandema jha pwani jha Asia. Hivyo tukajhingila baharini. Aristaka kuhoma Thesolanike jha Makedonia akalota pamonga ni tete.
3 The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
Ligono lyalakesisi tukasopa nanga mu mji bhwa Sidoni, ambapo Julio ambombili Paulo kwa ukarimu ni kunduhusu kulota kwa bharafiki zake kupokela ukarimu bhwa nene.
4 After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
Kuhoma api tokalota mu bahari twasafiri kusyongoka kisiwa kya Kipro ambakyo kya k'engibhu ni m'pongo, kwa ndabha m'pongo utusumbuleghe.
5 And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
Baada jha kusafiri mmasi kalibu ni Kilikia ni Pamfilia, tukahida Mira, mji bhwa Lisia.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
Pala jhola afisa ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma, ajhikolili meli kuhoma Alexandria ambajho jhilondeghe kusafiri kulota Italia. Akatukwesya mugati.
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.
Baada jha kusafiri molimoli kwa magono mingi ni hatimaye twfikili kwa tabu karibu ni Kinidas, m'pongo ghwa turuhusuili lepi kabhele kulota njela ejhu hivyo twasafiri mundemandema jha kivuli kya Krete khoni twikikenga mp'ongo, mkabala ni Salmone.
8 After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
Twasafiri mundemandem jha pwani kwa ukakatafu, mpaka tukafika mahali papakutibhu Fari Haveni ambajho ijhele karibu ni mji bhwa Lasi.
9 By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
Twatolili muda umelele muni, ni muda bhwa mfungo ghwa Kiyahudi ghwajhele umalikupea kabhele, na henu jhajhele ni hatari kujhendelela kusafiri. Hivyo Paulo akatuonya,
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.”
ni kujobha, “Bhagosi, nibhona safari jha twilonda kulota ejhe ni madhara ni hasara simehele, siyo tu jha misighu ni meli, lakini ni jha maisha gha jhotu.”
11 But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
Lakini afisa ghwa jeshi la Kiroma akampelekesya zaidi bwana ghwa muene ni mmiliki ghwa meli, kuliko mambo ghala ghaghalongelibhu ni Paulo.
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.
Kwandabha bandari jhajhelepi sehemu rahisi kutama wakati bhwa mepu, mabaharia bhingi bhashauriri tusafiriajhi kuhoma pala, ili kwa namna jhejhioha tubhwesiajhi kubhufikila mji bhwa Foinike, tutamayi pala bhwakati bhwa mepu. Foinike ndo bandari okhu Krete, na jhilola kaskazini mashariki ni kusini mashariki.
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.
Mp'ongo ghwa kusini bho bhujhendili kubhuma molimoli, mabaharia bhakafikirira kujha bhamalili kukabha kya bhakilondeghe. Bhakajhonja nanga ni kusafiri mundemandema jha Krete karibu ni pwani.
14 But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
Lakini baada jha muda mfupi mp'ongo n'kali, bhwabhukutibhweghe bhwa kaskazini mashariki, ukajhanda kututobha kuhoma kwiselya jha kisiwa.
15 Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
Wakati meli ijhelemibhu ni kushindwa kubhukali mp'ongo, tukajhedekelana ni hali ejhu, tukasafirisibhwa nabhu.
16 Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
Tukajhumba kup'etela lubhafu lwa luukingighe mp'ongo bhwa kisiwa kyakikutibhweghe Kauda; ni kwa taabu sana twafanikibhu kuokola bhwatu.
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.
Baada jha kujha bhabhufutili, bhatumili ngojhi kuuk'onga meli. Bhatileghe kujha ngatubhwesi kulota ku lieneo lya n'sanga ghumehele lya Syiti, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga na bhagendesibhu mundemandema.
18 We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.
Twatobhibhu kwa nghofu sana ni linyegha, hivyo ligono lyalyifwatili mabaharia bhakajhanda kusopa misighu kuhoma mu meli.
19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
Ligono lya tatu, mabaharia bhakayanda kup'omba masi kwa mabhoko gha bhene.
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.
Wakati ambapo lijobh ni litondo syatumuliki lepi kwa magono mingi, bado linyegha libhaha lyatutobhili, ni matumaini kujha tubetakuokolibhwa ghabhokili.
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.
Baada jha kujha bhalotili muda mrefu bila kyakulya, apu Paulo akajhema pagati pa mabaharia akajobha, “Bhagosi, mlondekeghe mnip'elekesiajhi, ngatubhokilepi kuhoma Krete, ili kukabha agha madhara ni hasara.
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.
Na henu nikabhafariji mkipelayi muoyo, kwa ndabha kubetalepi kujha ni upotefu bhwa maisha kati jha muenga, isipokujha hasara jha meli tu.
23 For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
Kwa ndabha kiru kya kilotili malaika ghwa K'yara, ambajhe K'yara ojhu nene ne ghwa muene, ni ambajhe nikamwabudi kabhele - malaika ghwa muene ajhemili palubhafu pa nene
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.’
ni kujobha, “Usitili Paulo. Lazima ujhemayi palongolo Kaisari, na langayi, K'yara ku bhunofu bhwa muene akupelili abha bhoha ambabho bhisafiri pamonga ni bhebhe.
25 So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
Efyo, bhagosi, mukipelayi muoyo, kwandabha nikan'kier K'yara, kujha ibetakujha kama kyanibhajobhili.
26 However, we must run aground on some island.”
Lakini lazima tulamatayi kwa kutobhibhwa mu baadhi jha fisibhwa.”
27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
Bho ufikili kiru kya kumi na nne, bho twigendesibhwa okhu ni okhu mu bahari jha Adratik, kama kiru kya manane naha, mabaharia bhafikirileghe kujha bhikaribila kundema.
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.
Bhatumili milio kup'ema kina kya masi nabhakabhaka mita thelathini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na saba.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
Bhatilili kujha bhibhwesya kugonga miamba, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga sinchenche kuhomela sehemu jha lukhela jhihidayi manyata.
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.
Bhala mabaharia bhakajha bhilonda bhaselisi maboti mu masi madebemadebe gha kuokolela maisha, na bhakajha bhikifuanya bhisopa nanga pa sehemu jha palongolo jha liboti.
31 But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Lakini Paulo akan'jobhela jhola askari ghwa jeshi la Kiroma ni bhala askari, “Mwibhwesya lepi kuokoka isipokujha bhanu abha bhibakila mu meli”.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
Kisha askari bhala bhakadumula mighojhi jha liboti ni kujhileka jhitolibhwayi ni masi.
33 Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
Wakati mwanga ghwa lukhela ghwihoma, Paulo akabhasihi bhoha angalau bhala bhadebe. Akajobha, “Ejhe ligono lya kumi na nne mwilendela bila kulya mlilepi khenu.
34 So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
Hivyo nikabhasihi mtolayi kyakulya kidebe, kwandabha ejhe kwandabha jha kuishi kwa muenga; na lujhelepi hata lujhusili lumonga pamitu ghya jhomu lwalibetakujhagha.
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.
Abhoamali kujobha aghu, akalota n'kate akan'shukuru K'yara palongolo jha mihu gha khila munu. Kisha akaumetula n'kate akajhanda kulya.
36 They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.
Kisha bhoha bhakapelibhwa muoyo na bhene bhakalota kyakulya.
37 In all, there were 276 of us on board.
Twajhele bhanu 276 mugati mu meli.
38 After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
Bho bhalili fya kutosha, bhaibhombi meli mbepe kwa kutagha ngano mu masi.
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.
Bhojhifikiri pamusi, bhajhitambuili lepi kundema, lakini bhakabhona sehemu jha kundema jhajhingili mmasi jhajhijhele ni n'sanga mwingi. bhakajadiliana kama bhibhwesya kugendesya meli kulota apu.
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.
Hivyo bhakesihobhosya nanga bhakasileka mmasi. Katika muda bhobhuobhu bhakasihobhosya mighojhi jha nanga ni kujhijhinula sehemu jha palongolo kulotela ku mp'ongo, hivyo bhakalota sehemu jha nsanga bhumehele.
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.
Lakini bhakahida mahali ambapo miela mibhele ghya masi ghibhonana, ni meli jhikalota kun'sanga. Ni jhela sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhakwamili pala na jhabhwesilepi kubhoka, lakini sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhikajhanda kudumuka kwa ndabha jha ukali ghwa manyegha.
42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom.
Mpango ghwa bhala askari bhwajhele kubhakoma bhafungwa, ili kwamba ajhelepi ambajhe ngaasoghili ni kutoroka.
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.
Lakini jhola askari ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma alondeghe kumwokola Paulo, hivyo akabhujhemeka mpango bhwa bhene; ni kubhaamuru bhala ambabho bhibhwesya kusogha, bharukayi kuhoma mu meli hoti na bhalotayi kundema.
44 The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.
Kisha bhagosi bhamana bhakakesya, bhangi panani pa fenu fenge kuhoma mu meli. Kwa njela ejhe jhatokili bhoha twibeta kufika kinofu kundema.
