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.
Pevamali kuvika mpangu wa lugendu lwa tete kuhamba Italia, Pauli pamonga na vafungwa vangi vagotoliwi pahi pa ulonda wa Juliasi mweavi Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli pagati ya chikundi chechikemelewa “Chikundi cha Augusti.”
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.
Tayingili muwatu wewahuma ku Adilamito wewavedukila mumbwani ya miji ya Asia. Kangi tawukili pamonga na mkolonjinji wa Makedonia kuhuma Tesalonike liina laki Alistako.
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.
Chilau yaki tahikili kumbwani ya Sidoni. Juliasi amhengili lipyana Pauli kwa kumyidakila avalola vankozi vaki na kupata vindu vyaaganili.
4 And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Kuhuma kwenuko, tagendili mumhana mwa chisiwa cha Kuplo ndava ya kuyepa mpungu wewabuma kuhuma kulongolo yitu.
5 And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia:
Kangi takupwiki nyanja ya upandi wa Kilikia na Pamfulia, tahikili Mula muji wa Lukia.
6 and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.
Penapo Mkulu wa msambi yula, aukolili watu wewihuma ku Alekisandalia na kuhamba ku Italia, ndi akatiyingisa mugati.
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;
Tagendili mbolimboli mulukumbi lwa magono gamahele cha kutyalatyala neju tahikili papipi na muji wa Nido. Ndava ya mpungu wewatikang'ayi kuhuma kulongolo ndi tikahamba lumonga upandi wa Kilete kuhamba pandu pa yeyikemiwa Salimone.
8 and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was [the] city of Lasaea.
Tapitili mumhana ya mbwani kwa kutyalatyala na kuhika pandu pepikemelewa “Bandali ya Bwina,” Papipi na muji wa Lasea.
9 And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,
Lukumbi lwamahele lwamali kupita, hati magono ga kujihinisa chakulya gamaliki. Hinu vayogwipi neju lugendu lwa muwatu. Pauli akavajovela malovi aga.
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.
“Mwavagosi, nihololela kuvya lugendu lwitu yati wivya na mang'ahiso na kuyagisa lepi ndava ya ndwika na watu ndu, nambu mewa na wumi witu.”
11 But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.
Nambu Mkulu wa manjolinjoli yula akasadika neju malovi ga mgendesa watu na ga mkolo watu, kuliku malovi ga Pauli.
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.
Hinu ndava bandali yeniyo yavi lepi nafwasi ya bwina kutama lukumbi lwa mbepu. Ndi vamahele pagati yavi vayidakilini kuwuka penapo na kuhamba mbaka Foinike ngati yihotoleka na kutama kwenuko mkulukumbi lwa mbepu. Bandali ya Kilete yeyihamba kwelihumila lilanga na kusini kwelitipama lilanga.
13 And [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.
Hinu, mpungu wa bwina pawatumbwili kubuma, vene vakahololela kuvya mpangu wavi wihotoleka, hinu vakahuta nanga vakatumbula lugendu kuni vigendesa watu papipi na mbwani ya Kilete.
14 But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.
Kwakona vangahika patali, mpungu ukali weukemiwa “Mpungu Eulokilo.” Watumbwili kubuma kuhuma muchisiwa.
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].
Mpungu waukang'ili watu, wene wahotwili lepi kukangamala nawu, ndi taulekili mpungu uyikang'ayi.
16 But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;
Na petapitayi pachisiwa chidebe chechikemiwa Kauda, tatyalityali nambu tahotwili kuukunga mtumbwi wa watu.
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.
Vanalihengu va muwatu pevamali kuyigisa mtumbwi wula mugati, ndi vakaukunga nyosi kwa makakala. Vayogwipi kukwama pa lilundu la masavati ga papipi na mbwani ya ku Libya, vakahelesa nyosi na kuleka watu wikang'iswa na mpungu.
18 But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,
Mpungu na manji gatimbungini na pachilau yaki, vakatumbula kutaga ndwika munyanja.
19 and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.
Na ligono la datu vakatumbula kutaga vindu vya watu kwa mawoko gavi vene.
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.
Mu magono gamahele valiwene lepi lilanga amala ndondo, mpungu na manji vyayendalili kutimbugana neju, kuhuvalila kwa kusanguka gavamaliki.
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.
Pavatamili magono gamahele changalya, Pauli akayima pagati yavi akajova, “Vamtopeswa, mbanga kuvya muniyuwanili malovi gangu ga kuleka kuwuka Kilete, ngatiyepili mang'ahiso ago pamonga na kuyagisa vindu ivi.
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.
Nambu hinu nivayupa mjikangamalisa mtima, muni kawaka hati mundu mmonga mweiyagisa wumi waki, nambu watu wene ndi wewiyaga.
23 For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
Ndava muni golo kilu Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, kuhuma kwa Chapanga mwenikumuhengela, anihumalili,
24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.
akanijovela, ‘Pauli, kotoka kuyogopa! Yikukugana kuyima palongolo ya Nkosi wa ku Loma, Chapanga mwene yimganisi, ndi kwa ubwina waki akuvasangula wumi wa voha mulugendu lwinu.’
25 Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.
Hinu vamtopeswa, mjikamngamalisa mtima ndava muni nikumsadika Chapanga kuvya givya mewawa ngati chenijoviwi.
26 But we must be cast ashore on a certain island.
Nambu yikutigana kutagwa kundumba ya chisiwa chimonga.”
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,
Ligono la kumi na mcheche kilu manji pagatumbwili kutimbugana tikanga'iswa kuni na kula munyanja ya Adilia. Pagati ya kilu vanalihengu muwatu vaholalili kuvya papipi na pandumba.
28 and having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found fifteen fathoms;
Vakalonda utali wa pahi wa nyanja kwa kuhelesa nyosi yeyakungiwi chindu chechitopa, vapatili utali wa mita alobaini. Na pavapimili kavili mwanakandahi vapatili utali wa mita selasini.
29 and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.
Ndava ya kuyogopa kukwama mumatalau ndi vakahelesa nanga mcheche za upandi mumbele mwa watu, vakamuyupa Chapanga kwicha kanyata.
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,
Vanalihengu va muwatu, vaganili kutila ndi vamali kuhelesa mtumbwi wavi mumanji, vakongayi kuvya vihamba kulongolo kuhelesa nanga za muwatu.
31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.
Nambu Pauli amjovili Mkulu wa msambi yula pamonga na manjolinjoli vangi, “Vanalihengu ava ngati vitama lepi mugati ya watu, yati mwisanguliwa lepi.”
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.
Penapo ndi manjolinjoli vala vakadumula nyosi zezakamwili mtumbwi wula, vakauleka uhamba na manji.
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.
Papipi na hamba kucha, Pauli akavayupa voha valyayi chakulya, “Lelu ndi ligono la kumi na mcheche vavili na wogoyi lukumbi lwoha ulo mwangalya chindu.
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.
Hinu, nikuvayupa mlyayi chakulya muni mukuchigana muhotola kulama, Muni kawaka hati luyunju lumonga wa mitu yinu lweluyaga.”
35 And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.
Peamali kujova malovi ago, Pauli akatola libumunda, akamsengusa Chapanga palongolo yavi voha akametula akatumbula kulya.
36 And all taking courage, themselves also took food.
Kangi voha vakasindimala mtima, navene mewa vakalya chakulya.
37 And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.
Mugati ya watu wula tavi vandu miya zivili na sabini na sita.
38 And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Pevamali kulya na kuyukuta kila mundu, ndi vapungwizi utopa kwa watu, kwa kutaga nganu munyanja.
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;
Kwapachili, vanalihengu vala vaumanyili lepi mulima wula, ndi vayiwene ndumba yeyivi papipi na manji, vakajovesana vayegeka watu kwenuko ngati yihotoleka.
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.
Ndi, vakadumula nanga na kuzileka munyanja, mewa vakahuta nyosi za kugendesela watu, kangi vakatola chitambala chimonga kulongolo kukinga mpungu, vakahamba kundumba.
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.
Nambu vahikili pamngonganu wa manji, na watu wakwamili, upandi wa kulongolo wajwigwimi mumasavati changali kunyugusika. Upandi wa mumbele wa watu watumbwili kudenyekana hipandi hipandi ndava kukang'wa na mpungu ga manji ga kutimbugana.
42 And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.
Manjolinjoli vavi na mpangu wa kuvakoma vafungwa voha ndava ya kuyogopa kuvya vihotola kusambalila mbaka kundumba na kutila.
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;
Nambu Mkulu wa msambi yula aganili kumsangula Pauli, avabesili valeka mpangu wavi. Akalagiza vevimanya kusambalila vahumba kuhuma muwatu na kusambalila mbaka kundumba,
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.
na vevasigalili vajisangula kwa kukamulila mbau amala chipandi cha watu weudenyiki, ndi tavoha tahikili tavamumi kundumba.
