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.
Paiamuliwe panga tupalikwa tunasafiri kwa mase kuyenda Italia, watimkabidhi Paulo na afungwa benge kwa afisa yumo wa jeshi lya Kiroma ywakemelwa Julio, wa Kikosi cha 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.
Tukapanda meli boka Adrmitamu, ambayo ibile itisafiri kandokando ya pwani ya Asia. Nga nyo tujingii mubahari. Aristaka boka Thesalonike ya Makedonia kayenda pamope natwee.
3 The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
Lisoba lya nyaibele tuikite katika mji wa Sidoni, ambapo Julio atimpangia kwa ukarimu na atibaruhusu kuyenda kwa rafiki zake kupokya ukarimu wabe.
4 After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
Boka po twayenda mu'bahari tukasafiri kuzunguka kisiwa cha Kipto ambacho kibile kimeukinga mbepo, kwa mana mbepo ubile ukitukabili.
5 And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
Baada ya kuwa tumesafiri katika mase yabile papipi na Kilikia na Pamfilia, twaisa Mira, mji wa Lisia.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
Palo yolo afisa wa jeshi lya Kiroma, akaikuta meli boka Alexandria ambayo ibile itisafiri kuelekea Italia. Akatupandisha ndani yake.
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 ya kusafiri mbolembole kwa masoba ganyansima na hatimaye tuikite kwa taabu karibu na Kinidas, mbepo waruhusu kwaa kae kuelekea ndela yoo, nga nyoo tukasafiri kandokando ya kivuli cha Krete tukiukenga mbepo, mkabala na Salmone.
8 After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
Twatisafiri kandokando ya pwani kwa ugumu, mpaka tuikite mahali pakemelwa Fari Haveni ambayo ibile papipi na mji wa 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,
Tutweti muda mwingi muno, na muda wa mfungo wa Ayahudi ubile umepita pia, nambeambe ibile ni hatari kuyendelea kusafiri. Nga nyo Paulo atitukanikiya,
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.”
no baya, “Alalome nibweni safari ambayo twapala kuitola ywalowa kuwa na madhara na hasara yanyansima, ni kwamizigo kichake kwaa na meli, lakini pia maisha yitu.”
11 But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
Lakini afisa yumo wa jeshi la Kiroma atimpekaniya muno ngwana wake na mmiliki wa meli, kuliko makowe ambayo galongelwa na 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.
Kwa sababu bandari ibile kwaa sehemu rahisi tama kipindi sa mbepo, mabaharia banyansima batisauri tusafiri boka palo, ili kwa namna yoyote tukiweza kuika mji wa Foinike, tutame palo kipindi sa mbepo, Foinike ni bandari kolyo Krete, na itilinga kaskazini na 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.
Mbepo ya kusini pautumbwile kuvuma mbolembole, mabaharia bapatike chelo ambacho babile bakihitaji. Bating'oa nanga na kusafiri kandokando ya Krete papipi na pwani.
14 But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
Lakini baada ya muda mwipi mbepo nkali, waukemelwa wa kaskazini mashariki, utumbwile kutukombwa boka ng'ambo ya kisiwa.
15 Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
Muda meli yatilemewa na kushindwa kuikabili mbepo, twatikubaliana na hali yee, tukasafiri nao.
16 Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
Tukabutuka pitya wolo upande ubile utiukenga mbepo wa kisiwa kikemelwa Kauda; na kwa taabu muno twatifanikiwa kuuokoa mtumbwi.
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 ya kuwa tumeivuta, balitumia kamba kuifunga meli. Batiyogopa panga tungeweza kuyenda katika eneo lya mchanga wanyansima wa Syiti, nga nyo batiulua nanga na batiendeshwa kandokando.
18 We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.
Tukombwile kwa nguvu muno na dhoruba, nga nyo lisoba lyanyaibele mabaharia batumbwile kutupa miziogo boka mu'meli.
19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
Lisoba lya tatu, mabaharia batumbwile kuyatoa mase kwa maboko gabe bene.
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.
Muda ambao liumu na ndondwa yatuangazia kwaa masoba ganyansima, bado dhoruba ngolo itukombwile, na matumaini panga twalowa lopolelwa yatiboka.
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 ya kuwa batiyenda muda mrefu bila chakulya, nga Paulo ayemi katikati ya mabaharia kabaya, “Alalome, mpalikwa kunipekaniya, na kana tuiboite nanga boka Krete, ili kupata madhara aga na 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.
Nambeambe naafariji panga mube na mwoyo, kwa sababu pabile kwaa na upotevu wa maisha kati yinu, ila hasara ya meli.
23 For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
Kwa mana kilo chakipitike malaika wa Nnongo, ambaye yolo Nnongo nenga ni wake, na ambaye namwabudia kae-malaika bake ayemi pembeni yango
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.’
no baya, “Kana uyogope Paulo. Lazima uyemi nnongi ya Kaisari, linga, Nnongo katika wema wake akupeile aba bote ambao wasafiri pamope nawenga.
25 So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
Nga nyo, alalome, mujipe mwoyo, kwa sababu namwaminiya Nnongo, panga ipalika kati yaanibakiye.
26 However, we must run aground on some island.”
Lakini lazima tuumie kwa kukombwa katika baadhi ya visiwa.”
27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
Pauikite kilo ya komi na ncheche, patubile tukiyendeshwa kolyo na kolyo mu'bahari ya Adratik, kati kilo ya manane nyoo, mabaharia batifikiri panga batikaribia nchi kavu.
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.
Balitumia milio kupima kina cha mase na kupata mita thelathini na sita, baada ya muda mwipi bapema bapatike 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.
Batiyogopa kwanza twaweza kugonga miamba, nha nyo bakaulua nanga ncheche boka katika sehemu ya kuwekea nanga no kuloba panga bwamba uise mapema.
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.
Balo mabaharia batiipala namna ya kuitelekeza yelo meli na balizishusha majini boti njunu na kulopwa maisha, na bapangite kuwa wanatupa nanga boka sehemu ya nnongi ya boti.
31 But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Lakini Paulo kambakiya yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma na balo askari, “Muweza kwaa kuilopwa ila aba bandu babakia mu'meli.”
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
Boka po balo askari bakatike kamba na yelo boti ilekitwe itolwe na mase.
33 Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
Muda mwanga wa bwamba paubile utijitokeza, Paulo atibasihi bote angalau balyee kisunu. Kabaya, “Ayee nga lisoba lya komi na ncheche mwalenda bila kulyaa, mwalyaa kwaa kilebe.
34 So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
Nga nyo nawasihi mtole chakulya kisunu, kwa sababu yee ni kwaajili ya tama kwinu; na ntopo hata nywili yimo ya ntwe winu yalowa potea.
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.
Paayomwile baya nyoo, atitola mkate na kumshukuru Nnongo nnongi ya minyo ga kila mundu. Boka po kaetekwana mkate no tumbwa lyaa.
36 They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.
Boka po bote batiwa mwoyo na bembe batola chakulya.
37 In all, there were 276 of us on board.
Tubile bandu 276 nkati ya meli.
38 After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
Paayomwile lyaa pakayukwita, baipangite meli nyepesi kwa kutupa ngano nkati ya mase.
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.
Paibile mutwekati, paibweni kwaa nchi kavu, lakini babweni sehemu ya nchi kavu yaijingya mumase yaibile na mchanga wanyansima. batilongela kati baweza kuiendesha meli kuelekea palo.
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.
Nga nyoo batizilegeza nanga bazilekite mumase. Katika muda wowolo batizilegeza kamba za tanga na kuiinua sehemu ya nnongi kuelekea katika mbepo, nga nyo batielekea katika iyo sehemu yabile na mchanga wanyansima.
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 baisile mahali ambapo mikondo ibele ya mase itikwembana, na meli ikaelekya mchangani. Na yelo sehemu ya nnongi ikakwama palo na iweza kwaa boka, lakini sehemu ya mbele uya meli itumbwile kutekwanika kwa sababu ya ukale wa mawimbi.
42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom.
Mpango wa balo askari ubile ni kuwabulaga wafungwa, ili panga ntopo ywaweza ogelea na 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 yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma apala kumwokoa Paulo, nga nyo akausimamisha mpango wabe; na akaamuru balo ambao baweza kuogelea baruke boka melini kwanza bayende nchi kavu.
44 The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.
Boka po alalome benge balowa kunkengama, benge nnani ya ipande ya mbao na benge nnani ya ilebe yenge boka mu'meli. Kwa ndela yee ipangike panga bote twalowa ika salama nchi kavu.
