Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy, and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
Pawaamuwiti kala twendereyiti na mwanja mpaka Italiya, wamtuliti Paulu pamwera na watatirwa wanonga pasi pa ulolera wa Yuliu yakaweriti mkulu gwa mashonta pakati shipinga yawashishema “shipinga sha Augustu.”
2 Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
Tukweniti meli ya Adiramitu iweriti yangugenda na kupitira bandali zimu za mkowa gwa Asiya, tuyanja mwanja. Alisitariku, mwenikaya gwa Makedoniya kulawa Tesaloniki, kaweriti pamwera natwenga.
3 And the day following we came to Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.
Shirawu yakuwi tusulusiyi nanga pakati pa bandali ya sidoni. Yuliu kamtendiriti Paulu viheri kwa kumluusu kawawoni waganja wakuwi na kumpanana nfiru zyakuwi.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Kulawa aku twendereyiti na mwanja, kumbiti kuweriti na lihega liweriti lyankuvuma kwa kanongola nentu kutuyizira kwa ulongolu, tupitiliti uwega wa shisiwa sha kupiru kweni lihega liweriti livuwa ndiri.
5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
Shakapanu tulokiti bahali ya kilikiya na Pamfiliya, tusulusiiti nanga Mura, lushi lya Lukiya.
6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
Panu afisa ulii kawoniti meli yimu ya Alekizandiriya yaiweriti yankugenda Italiya, na hangu katukweniziya twingira mngati mwakuwi.
7 And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:
Tugenditi mpolimpoli kwa mashaka gavuwa na kwa ntabiku tusokiti pakwegera na Kenidu. Toziya lihega liweriti lyankali lyankutukoma, tupitira uwega wa kushana kushisiwa sha Kireti, kugenda Salumoni.
8 And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.
Tupititi pambeku yakuwi mpolimpoli kwa ntabika tuyingiriti pahali pawapashema “Bandali nyanyi,” pakwegera na lushi lwa Laseya.
9 And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
Shipindi shivuwa shipititi, na hata mashaka ga kulikala pota kuliya gaweriti gaperiti kala. Vinu iweriti atali nentu kugenda na meli. Su, Paulu kawayupiti moyu,
10 Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
“Watuwa, nulihola handa mwanja agu haguweri gwa ntabiku na kwa asala ivuwa kwa memiziwu ya meli hera, ila viraa kwa makaliru getu.”
11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
Kumbiti afisa ulii kakwegitwi nentu na maholu ga nahoza na ga mweni kana meli kuliku galii gakatakuliti Paulu.
12 And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.
Toziya bandali ayi iweriti ndiri pahala paherepa pa kulivaga shipindi sha mbepu, wavuwa wafiriti kwendeleya na mwanja, payiwezekana mpaka Foiniki. Foiniki ndo bandali ya Kireti yaigenda kushana na kwaguzyeta mshenji na kusika na kwaguzyeta mshenji, na aku mewawezi kulivaga shipindi sha mbepu.
13 And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
Su, lihega lyanyanyi lya kusi lyanjiti kuvuma, nawomberi washeriti wapata lengu lyawu. Hangu wawusiya nanga, wendesha meli pakwegera nentu na mpeku ya Kireti.
14 But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
Kumbiti katepu hera, lihega likalipa lishemwa “Lihega lya kusika” liyanja kuvuma kulawa kushisiwa.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
Lihega liikomiti meli ilii, na toziya tusinditi kulidiwira, tuyileka ijegwijegwi na lihega ali.
16 And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
Litanda limu lyalishemwa Kauda litupingira shididini kwa liyega lilii, na patupititi kusika mwakuwi tufauliti, iweriti kwa tabu, kusalimisha mtumbwi gwa meli.
17 Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.
Wanamashi walii wagunikiti mtumbwi mngati, shakapanu wayizyengetiziya meli ngoyi na kuitawa kwa likakala. Watiriti kuwera mewawezi kugomuluwa pambeku pa Siriti. Hangu wasulusiyiti matanga na kuyileka meli ijegwijegwi na lihega.
18 And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
Lipuga lyendereyiti kuvuma na shirawu yakuwi wayanja kuyasa kunja shehena ya meli.
19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
Lishaka lya tatu, wayanja viraa kuyasa mmashi vintu vya meli kwa mawoku gawu weni.
20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
Kwa shipindi sha mashaka gatangala tuweza ndiri kuwona mshenji ama ntondi, lipuga lyendereyiti kuvuma nentu, ata litumbiru lyoseri lya kuponeka litupera.
21 And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
Pa kulivaga shipindi shitali pota kuliya shiboga, Paulu kagolokiti pakati pawu, katakula, “Waheshimiwa, meyiweriti mbaka handa mungampikiniriti na kuleka mwanja kulawa Kireti handa mngatenditi hangu metushapili tabu ayi na asala zoseri azi.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but only of the ship.
Kumbiti vinu nankuwaluweni muweri na moyu, kwahera hata yumu gwenu mekahowiziyi ukomu wakuwi, meli hera ndo haiyagamili.
23 For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
Toziya lishu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa ulii Mlungu mweni neni ndo gwakuwi na yomberi neni numguwira kandawiliti,
24 Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
kang'ambira, ‘Paulu, kotukutira! Mpaka hagugoloki pawulongolu pa Kaisari, na Mlungu, kwa lusungu lyakuwi kakutangi kwa kuwalopoziya woseri wawagenda mwanja na gwenga.’
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
Hangu, wahishimiwa, mulipanani moyu! Toziya numjimira Mlungu kuweri hayiweri teratera ntambu yawang'ambiriti.
26 And we must come unto a certain island.
Kumbiti ndo mpaka hatuyaswi kumpeku kushisiwa tunga.”
27 But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
Pashiru pa lishaka lya lilongu na msheshi tuweriti twankukwegwa aku na aku mubahali ya Adria. Pakwegera na pashiru nentu, washima mitumbwi waliholiti kuwera wapakwegera na isi iyuma.
28 Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
Hangu wasakuliti utali wa bahari kwa kusulusiya lugoyi lwawatawiti shintu shitopa, wapata utali wa mita malongu msheshi. Shakapanu wapima kayi wapata mita malongu matatu.
29 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Toziya ya kutila kugomuluwa mumatalawu, wasulusiyiti nanga msheshi kumpeli kumeli, waluwa kushii kanongola.
30 But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,
Wanamashi wafiriti kushapira, na wasulusiyiti kala mtumbwi mmashi, walipayira handa wagenda kusulusiya nanga uwega wa kulongolu kwa meli.
31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
Kumbiti Paulu kamgambiriti mkulu gwa jeshi ulii na wanjagila wakuwi, “Handa wanamashi awa hapeni wasigali mngati mwa mtumbwi, hapeni mlopoziwi.”
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Panu wanjagila walii wazidumuliti ngoyi zyaziweriti zikolera mtumbwi, waguleka gutolwi na mashi.
33 And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.
Pakwegera na mandawira, Paulu kawahimiziyiti woseri walii shiboga “Kwa mashaka lilongu na msheshi vinu muwera mumashashatiku na pota kuliya, hamweni lii shintu shoseri.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health’s sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.
Su, nuwaluwa mlii shiboga toziya mshifira su muwezi kwendeleya kulikala. Toziya ata viri yimu mumituwi yenu hapeni yagamiri”
35 And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
Pakatakulita kala hangu, Paulu katoliti libumunda, kalonga maya ga shi Mlungu pamberi pa woseri, kaumega, kanja kuliya.
36 Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
Panu woseri wapata moyu, na womberi vila waliya shiboga.
37 And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Woseri waweriti wantu mia mbili na malongu saba na sita mumeli.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
Pa kila yumu kuliya shiboga sha kwikuta, wapunguliti kutopa kwa meli kwa kuyasa viboga mubahari.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.
Pawushiiti, wanamashi wawezandiri kuyimana isi ilii. Ira wawoniti guba yimu yana mpeku, Waamuwa kusulusiya nanga aku handa payiwezikana.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.
Hangu wazidumuliti nanga na kuzileka mubahari, na shipindi shiraa ashi waziyopola ngoyi zaziweriti ziguyopa msukanu, shakapanu wagolosiya tanga yimu palongolu kukola lihega, wagenditi kumpeku.
41 And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.
Kumbiti wasokiti pahali pena mikondu miwili ya bahari iliwona, na meli igomuluwa. Seemu ya palongolu iweriti imiruwa mumhanga pota kutikinyika. Seemu ya kumbeli ya meli iyanjiti kumegeka vipandi vipandi kwa makomangu ga likakala lya makupala.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
Wanjagira wafiriti kuwalaga watatirwa woseri kwa kutira handa wankusuga mpaka kumbeku na kutoloka.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.
Kumbiti toziya afisa jeshi ulii kafiriti kumlopoziya Paulu, kawaberiti nawatenda hangu. Kaamuliti walii yawamana kusuga wakopoki kulawa mumeli na kusuga mpaka kumpeku.
44 And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
Na wamonga wayizi pawalikolilera mumbawu ama muvipandi vya meli vyavimegikiti. Ndo twenga ntambu yatusokiti nyanyi kumpeku.
