Acts 27
1 And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.
Italia mlawng am ceh vai ami mkhyah law ja Pawluh ja thawng kyum avange cun Julijah ngmingnaki, Romah yekap üngka ngvai üng a jah mhjum, “Acun cun sangpuxang yekappä ngvai ami ti.”
2 And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Adramutiha mlawng üngka naw, Asah hne üngka tui pei üngkhyüh ngtünei lü athuknaka kami ciki. Maketawnih hnea ka Aristakhas, Thesalonikah mlüh üngka kami hlawnga veki.
3 And on the day after, we came to Sidon; and Julius was kind to Paul, and let him go to see his friends and take a rest.
Angawi üng, Sidon kami phaki. Julijah naw Pawluh mceh na lü a khyah, a püiea veia cit se a püie naw hlükawki ami pet vaia a cehsak.
4 And sailing again from there, we went on under cover of Cyprus, because the wind was against us.
Acun üngka naw, tui üng kami cit beki, khawkhi naw akceha jah cehsak se, Kuparuh kyawn da kami citki.
5 And having gone across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra, in Lycia.
Kilikiha ja Pampuliha pei tui kami khe käna, Lukia hne, Muraha kami phaki.
6 And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.
Acua yekap ngvai naw Aleksandria üngkhyüh Itali cit khai mlawng hmu lü; a jah ngcumsak.
7 And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;
Mhnüp khawvei angpäicaa cit u lü akpäihnaka Kanidah mlüh kami phaki. Khawkhi am daw se, Karet kyawn cit lü Kep Salmonih ami ti khe lü kami citkie.
8 And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.
Va thäihca u lü, Laseah mlüh üngkhyüh am thuki Sep Habar ami tia hnün anänga kami pha lawki.
9 And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,
Mhnüp khawvei sumei lü, mlawng am msu lü ceh vai a kyühksea phäha, Thawngnaka Mhnüp pi a khe päng. Pawluh naw jah mcäi lü,
10 Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.
“Khyange aw, atuh mlawng am mi cehta, mlawng ja khawhthem he ami khyüh päih däka am kya lü, mi xünnak pi khyük khaia hmu veng” a ti.
11 But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
Acunsepi, yekap ngvai naw Pawluha pyen am kcang na lü keptin ja mlawng maha pyen a jah kcangnak.
12 And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.
Acuna tui kam cun khawksik khya üng venaka am daw se, cit be tü u lü, Phonenih pha vaia kami kthanaki, a thawn khawh ta acua khawksik khya kami sumei khai kami ngtängki. Phonenih tui pei cun Kareta ve lü, nghngi kyak ja cuma keh, nghngi kyak ja sipa keh da pi kyase ma na hüki.
13 And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.
Khet da khawkhi nghäi ngtün lü khi law se, khyange naw ami ngaia kba thawn khaia ngai u lü, kpunnak yüi kaih lü Karet tui kam da citkie.
14 But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.
Acunsepi, asäng üng, Püi Khawkhi ami tia khawkhi cun kyawn da aktäa khi lawki.
15 And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.
Mlawng a cut law üng, mlawng naw khawkhi am näng se, kami ktha päih lü khawa a khinak da a jah ceh hüpüi.
16 And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:
Kaladeh ngming nakia kyawna kami ngtunjinnak vai kami hmuki. Mlawng käh a pyak vaia ngyan üng kami pawhki.
17 And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.
Mlawng cun jän kaihca lü khäng khaia yüi am ami kphung. Acunüng Libya kawnga khana a ngtaih vai kyüh u lü, jih ja nemsak lü khawkhia a jah cehnak püia kami citki.
18 And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;
Angawi üng khawkhikse khi law se, mlawng üngka phüie cun tui üng ami ja tawn.
19 And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.
A ngawi be tü üng, ami naw mlawng üngka phüie cun ami jah tawn be tü.
20 And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.
Khaw mhnüp khawvei nghngi ja aisie pi käh ngdang lü khawkhi naw jah mnawk hü se, kami lät khai pi am kami ngai tiki.
21 And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.
Khawvei ei kaa kami ve käna, Pawluh ami ksunga ngdüi lawki naw, “Khyange aw, asüa, ka pyen ngai u lü, Karet üngka naw käh mi lawa ta, ahikba pyaknak ja sungpyamnak am mi khamei khai sü.
22 But now, I say to you, be of good heart, for there will be no loss of life, but only of the ship.
Acunsepi, atuh ning jah nghui na veng, ling u lü ve u, mlawng däk khyük lü, nami xünnak am khyük, a ti.
23 For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,
Isetiakyaküng, tuh mthana, ka jumei ja ka hjawkhah, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat ka veia law lü,
24 Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.
‘Pawluh aw, käh cäia! Empero Sangpuxanga hmaia na ngdüi khai, Pamhnama dawkyanak naw na jah ngkhapkie sak cän jah mpyenei ve.’
25 And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.
Acunakyase, khyange aw, ling ua, a na mtheha mäiha kya khai tia Pamhnam ka jumki.
26 But we will be sent on to a certain island.
Acunsepi, tui kam mat mata mi ngtaih khaie” a ti.
27 But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;
Acunüng, mthan xaleikphyü üng, Adih Mpanglaituia khawkhikse naw a jah mnawk hü. Mthan nglunga yekape naw keimi cun kawng da kami ng’et lawki tia cam hü u lü ami ksing law.
28 And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.
Acunüng, tuia a thuk cam tü se, lam mku lawkia ami ksing. Asäng nghjawk se ami cam be üng, lam xaleimhma law se ami ksing.
29 Then, fearing that by chance we might come on to the rocks, they let down four hooks from the back of the ship, and made prayers for the coming of day.
Lung a suk vai kyühei u lü, mlawnga ngmei da mthimhjum phyü ju khya u lü, khawa thaih law hlah vaia kami ktaiyükie.
30 Then the sailors made attempts secretly to get away from the ship, letting down a boat as if they were about to put down hooks from the front of the ship;
Mlawng mawngkie naw, mlawng cun centak vaia ngtäng u lü mlawnga ma mthimhjum khyakia ngsaih u lü mlawngca cun tui üng ami ju khyak.
31 But Paul said to the captain and his men, If you do not keep these men in the ship, you will not be safe.
Acun ja, Pawluh naw yekap ngvai ja yekapea veia, “Mlawng mawngkie mlawnga khana am nami ve ta am lät uki” a ti.
32 Then the armed men, cutting the cords of the boat, let her go.
Yekape naw, mlawngca khihnaka yüie cun, jah cap pat lü, mlawngca cun ami khyah.
33 And when dawn was near, Paul gave them all orders to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day you have been waiting and taking no food.
Khawthaih law hlü ja Pawluh naw, ami van naw ei ami ei vaia a jah nghuinak. “Tungawi, mhnüp xaleikphyü law pängki, i am ei u lü ei kaa nami veki.
34 So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.
Acunakyase, ning jah nghui na veng, nami xün vaia i mä ei ua. Nami lusam matca pi am khyük khai ni” a ti.
35 And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.
Acun a pyen law päng üng, Pawluh naw muk lo lü, Pamhnama veia jenak mtheh lü khyangea hmaia; mu cun boki lü a ei.
36 Then they all took heart and did the same.
Ami vana cäicingnak dim law lü ami ei pi ei law hngakie.
37 And we were, in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six persons.
Acuna khyange cun phya nghngih ja khyühkip ja khyuk mlawnga khana veki.
38 And when they had had enough food, they made the weight of the ship less, turning the grain out into the sea.
Avan naw kami ei law käna, mlawng hang khaia kyung cun mpanglai üng kami jah tawn.
39 And when it was day, they had no knowledge of the land, but they saw an inlet of the sea with a floor of sand, and they had the idea of driving the ship up on to it if possible.
Khawa thaih law üng, acuna kawng cun mlawng mawnge naw am ksing u, lüpi tuikam cun ksing u lü mlawng cun acua ngdüi khaia ami pawh vaia ngtün lawki he.
40 So cutting away the hooks, and letting them go into the sea, and freeing the cords of the guiding-blades, and lifting up the sail to the wind, they went in the direction of the inlet.
Acunüng, mthimhjum ja mawngnak ami jah kunnak yüi cun ja mawi pat u lü, tui üng ami mcum. Acun kung üng, jih ja khihnaka yüie cun ja kphyawtkie naw, a ma lama jinu cun khawkhi naw a hmut vaia häi u lü tuikam da citkie.
41 And coming to a point between two seas, they got the ship to land; and the front part was fixed in the sand and not able to be moved, but the back part was broken by the force of the waves.
Acunsepi, mlawng naw mdih su se, mlawnga lu da cun ngtangei lawki, mlawnga ngmei da cun tuiyüi a kyan lawa phäha pyakeiki.
42 Then the armed men were for putting the prisoners to death, so that no one would get away by swimming.
Yekape naw thawng kyume cun tui jawh u lü ami cen vai kyühkie naw jah hnim vaia ami bü law.
43 But the captain, desiring to keep Paul safe, kept them from their purpose, and gave orders that those who had knowledge of swimming were to go off the ship and get first to land:
Acunsepi, yekap ngvai naw Pawluh a yun vai täng lü, acun ami hnim vaia ami tün cun a jah mkhyawh. Tui jawh theiki naküt cun tui üng kco u lü, kawng da ami jawh ma vaia,
44 And the rest, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so it came about that they all got safe to land.
avange cun, thing pheka khana, avang mlawnga mtimteea khana pek law khaiea a jah mtheh. Acunüng, kami van kawnga phyawn lü kami pek päihkie.
