Acts 27
1 But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.
Nikwakayeyegwa kuti twelede kuyaku Itali abwaato bakasala Pawulu abamwi baange kumwendelezi wabasilumamba utegwa Juliyasi wamunkamu.
2 And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Twakanjila mubwato buzwa ku Adilamatiyamu oobo bwakali bwaba afwifwi kuti bunyampuke bwakali kuyoyinda kunkomwe ya Eziya. Mpawo twakayinka kulwizi. Alisitachasi uzwaku Tesalonika mu Masedoniya wakeenda andiswe.
3 And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Mubuzuba butobela twakasika kuchisi cha Sidoni, oko Juliyasi nkwakakujata Pawulo cabuuya alimwi akumuzumizya kuti ayiinke kubenzinyina kuyotambula kubambwa.
4 And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Kuzwa awo twakaya kulwizi twakuyamba muunsi ankoomwe yaku Sayipulasi, afwifwi akukasuwa, nkambo luuwo lwakalikututonta.
5 And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia:
Nitwakeenda katutimbula lwizi nitwakazoinda ku Silisiya alimwi aku Pamfiliya, twakasika ku Mayila, chisi chaku Lusiya.
6 and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.
Nkuko ooko mwendelezi nkwakajana bwaato buzwa ku Alekizandiliya obo bwakalikuya ku Itali. Mpawo watubika mumo.
7 And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;
Nitwakali kweenda bunini abunini kwamazuba mayingi, twakazomaninsizya twasika mubuyumuyumu afwifwi a Sinidusi alimwi luuwo telwakazotuzumizya pe kuti twinde nzila eeyo, twakeenda katuyabuya alubazu lwankomwe yaku Kkilete, kumbali lya Salimone.
8 and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was [the] city of Lasaea.
Twakeenda mumo omo munkomwe mubuyumuyumu, mane twakusika kubusena bumwi butegwa Majulu mabotu, buli afwifwi achisi cha Laseya.
9 And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,
Twakali twamana chiindi chilamfu, chiindi chakulyiimya kwama Juda achilacho chakali chayinda, alimwi kwakali kwatentuusya lino kweenda. Mpawo Pawulu wakabachenjezya,
10 saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
wati, “nibaluumi, ndibwene kuti lweendo ndutuyanda kubweza lulakulichisa akuswekelwa kupati, pepe zinyampwidwe nikuba bwato luzutu, pesi abuumi bwesu.”
11 But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.
Pesi mwendelezi wakaswilizya kapati kuli sikwenzya bwaato akulimuna bwaato kwinda eezyo zyaakambwa a Pawulu.
12 And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.
Nkambo chito techakali chuubila pe kuti bukkale mpawo chilinu choonse, bamwi bayiingi bakapa muzezo wakuti tweende kuzwa aawa, ambweni dozyakonzeka ngatuyosika kuchisi cha-Foyenikisi, kuti tukakkale chiindi chachilimo nkuko. Foyenikisi nchito cha Kkilete, chilangide koonse kumusaansa akububbila alimwi kumbo -akububbila.
13 And [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.
Eelyo luuwo lwakumusansa nilwakatanguna kuunga kwachumunizi, basibwato bakayeeya mbuli kuti bakali bachijana nchibakalikuyanda. Lino bakanyamuna bbwe lyakwimikizya bwato mpawo beenda kabatobezya Kkilete, afwifwi ankomwe.
14 But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.
Pesi nikwakayinda kayindi kanini kwakaza muuwo mupati uutegwa Notisita, wakatanguna kuuma aansi kuzwa kusuwa.
15 And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven [before it].
Eelyo bwaato nibwakajatwa amuuwo mupati zyakukachilwa kuyakunembo muluuwo, twakayinzizya muuwo mupati ooyu mwenya alimwi wakatuchuunda twatobelezya muuwo.
16 But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;
Twakeenda munkomwe munsi akasuwa kanini kategwa Kkawunda, alimwi abuyumuyumu twakazokonzya kusika akaato kakuvunwa.
17 which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.
Eelyo nibakaanga Kaato, bakabelesya minchinda yako mpawo bazojatanisya amwi kubulambo bwabwato. Bakalikuyowa kuti ngabayosisigwa kumuse waku Sayitisi, lino bakalosya minchinda wangidwe bbwe wabwato alimwi bakatontwa kabayabuya.
18 But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,
Twakatamamizigwa mbubobu amuuwo mupati zyakuti buzuba bwakatobela bakatanguna kubwala mpasya mukati mulwizi.
19 and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.
Mubuzuba bwachitaatu bantu bakalimubwato bakabwaala zintu zyakali mubwato amaboko aabo.
20 And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.
Eelyo izuba anyenyezi nizyakatatumunikila kwamazuba mayingi, alimwi muuwo mupati kuchuuma alindiswe, bulangilizi boonse bwakuti twelede kufutulwa bwakamana.
21 And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.
Nibakeenda kwachiindi chilamfu kabatakwe chakulya pe, eelyo Pawulu wakayimikila akati kabantu wati, “Nobakwesu, mwalelede kunditelela, alimwi temwalelede kwenda kamuzida kuKkilete pe, eezi zyakuti mujane kulichisa alimwi kuswekelwa.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.
Lino ndamusimya kuti nywebo mube abusungu, nkaambo takwe nikutabewo pe kuswekelwa buumi akati kanu, pesi biyo kuswekelwa kwabwaato.
23 For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
Busiku bwayinda mungeelo wa Leza ooyo ngundili kulinguwe, ooyo alimwi ngundikomba — mungelo wakwe wakaliimvwi aambali lyangu
24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.
alimwi wati, 'Utayoowi, Pawulu, weelede kuyoyimikila kunembo lyaKayisa, alimwi ukabone Leza mubuya mbwakapa kuli nduwe abo boonse balimulwendo anduwe.'
25 Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.
Linobu mube abusungu, nobakwesu! Nkaambo ndisyoma Leza kuti chiyochitika mbuli mbuchakaambwa kulindime.
26 But we must be cast ashore on a certain island.
Pesi twelede kuchijana munyika amutusuwa.'
27 And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them,
Eelyo busiku bwakkumi abwaane nibwakasika, mbuli mbutwali kuchundilwa kulubazu olu alimwi mukati kalwiizi lwa Adiliyatiki, kubanga mpakati kabusiku basilwendo bakayeeya kuti bamba kusika kunyika.
28 and having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found fifteen fathoms;
Bakabeza zipimyo alimwi bakajana kuti maboko ali kkumi amusanu.
29 and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.
Bakayoowa kuti ambweni anga tulawuminina amabwe, lino bakawaala mabwe akwimikizya bwaato aanze kuzwa munsi alimwi bakakomba kuti kucha ambweni kulafwambana kusika.
30 But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,
Bakali mubwaato bakalikulanga nzila yakusiya bwato alimwi bakalosya kaato kulwizi, alimwi bakabaanga balabwaala mabwe abwaato kuzwa kunembo.
31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.
Pesi Pawulu wakati kumwendelezi akuli basilumamba, “kunze akuti baalumi aaba bakkale mubwaato, takwe nimunga mulafutuka pe.”
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.
Eelyo basilumamba bakadunsuula minchiinda yakaato alimwi bakaleka kayabuya.
33 And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.
Nikwakaamba kucha, Pawulo wakabasungwazya boonse kuti babweze chakulya. Wakamba kuti, “Eli zuba ndyakkumi aane kamuswini kulindilizya kamutakwe chakulya pe — takwe nchimulide pe.
34 Wherefore I exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.
Eelyo ndamukombelezya kuti mwabane chakulya, nkambo oolu ndulufutuka lwanu. Ko takukwe anaba umwi akati kanu utaswekelwe inzeeta imwi yasusu kuzwa kumutwe wakwe.”
35 And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.
Naakamana kwaamba eezi, wakabweza chinkwa alimwi walumba Leza mumeso aboonse. Eelyo wakakwamuna chinkwa alimwi watalika kulya.
36 And all taking courage, themselves also took food.
Eelyo bakasungwazigwa boonse mpawo abalabo bakabweza chakulya.
37 And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.
Twakali myaanda ibili ilamakkumi musanu aabili amusanu awumwi myuuya yakali mubwaato.
38 And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Nibakalya achakwelela, bakachita kuti bwaato buubilwe akubwaala mayila mulwizi.
39 And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;
Nikwakaba buunsi, tebakibonape nyika, pesi bakabona tyebe lilankomwe, alimwi bakayowesya kuti anga balayinzya bwaato na ataala.
40 and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.
Mpawo bakanenga zyatendela zijazyo alimwi bakasiya mukati kalwizi. Muchindi chimwi biyo eecho bakangununa minchiinda yazitabilisyo kuluuwo; alimwi bakayinka kunkomwe.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.
Pesi bwaato bwakajimpa aansi mpawo bweenda anyika. Chakumpela chabwato chakapatila alimwi chachaala kachitanyamuki pe, alimwi chaansi chakatyolwa anguzu zyamayuwe.
42 And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.
Mabaambe abasilumaamba akali kujaya baange kuchitila kuti kutabi naba omwe uunga ulayamba mpawo achije.
43 But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;
Pesi mweendelezi wakalikuyanda kufutula Pawulo, mpawo wakayimikizya mabambe aabo; alimwi wakalayilila aabo bakalikukonzya kuyamba kuti basotokele kuunze alimwi basike anyika.
44 and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
Eelyo boonse baalumi beelede kutobela, bamwi ajulu azimwi zintu zyakali mubwato. Munzila eeyi zyakachitika kuti toonse tusike obotu anyika.
