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,
Mpokwalasuminishiweti twenga ku Italiya mubwato, Paulo pamo ne bakaili nabambi balabikwa mumakasa amukulene wa bashilikali mwanda lina lyakendi Juliyasi, wamulikoto lyalikukwiweti, “Bashilikali ba Mwami waku Loma.”
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.
Twalatanta bwato bwalafumina ku Adilamitayo bwalikuya ku bito bya mucishi ca Asiya. Twalikuba pamo ne Alisitako walafuma ku Tesalonika mu cimpansha ca Makedoniya.
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.
Busuba bwalakonkapo, twalashika ku Sidoni. Juliyasi walamunyumfwila nkumbo Paulo, walamusuminisha kuya kubona banendi kwambeti, bamupengonga bintu bilayandikinga palyendiye.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Mpotwalafuma uko, kayi pacebo cacipupu calikubako, twalapitila kwalikubula cipupu kunsa kwansumbu ya Saipulasi.
5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
Lino panyuma pa kwenda mumbali mulwenje pepi ne cishi ca Kilikiya ne Pamfuliya, twalashika ku munshi wa Mula mucishi ca Lukiya.
6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
Uko mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, nkwalacana bwato bunene bwalikufuma ku Alekisandiliya bwalikuya ku Italiya, emwalatutantika.
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:
Twalikwenda pang'anapang'ana kwa masuba angi mwakupenga penga kwambeti tushike pepi ne munshi wa Sinido. Lino mpotwalaboneti lukupwe lunene lulafumunga nkotwalikuya, twalalilwa kwenda. Twalapita kulubasu nkotwalashinkililwako ne nsumbu ya Kelete, yalangana ne Salimoni.
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.
Twalenda mwa kupengapenga mu mbali mwa nsumbu, mpaka twalashika pamusena walikukwiweti “Bito Byaina,” Pepi ne munshi wa Laseya.
9 And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
Twalataya cindi citali mu bulwendo, cakwinseti busuba bwa kulikanisha kulya bwalikuba bulapiti kendi. Cindico calaboneketi nitukumane ne bintu biyosha mu bulwendo bwetu. Neco Paulo walabacenjesheti,
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.
“Mobaname, ame ndabonongeti kufuma pano bulwendo bwetu bwakuya kuntangu nitukumane ne bintu biyosha. Bintu bingi nibyonongeke ne kutaika, ntebyo bintu byonka ne bwato sobwe, nsombi ne buyumi bwetu.”
11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
Nomba nendi mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, walanyumfwila mukulene wa basebenshi ba bwato ne mwine bwato, kupita maswi ngalamba Paulo.
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.
Cito ico nkacalikuba caina kwikalapo cindi ca mupewo. Neco bantu bangi balayeya kufumapo pacito ico, ne kuya pantanguko kwambeti mpani ngabashika kucito ca Foinike, ne kwikalako pa cindico. Cito ici ciliku Kelete, calangila kumusansa cakumbonshi kayi ne kunyika cakumbonshi.
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.
Popelapo cipupu cabomba calafumina kumusansa, calatatika kupupula, neco bantu balayeyeti bapitilishe bulwendo bwabo mpaka kuya kushika ku Foinike. Balacikwela cinshimbi cinene cishikwimanika bwato, ne kutatika kwendela mu mbali mwakuma nsumbu ya Kelete.
14 But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
Nsombi paliya kupita cindi citali sobwe, lukupwe lwalikukwiweti, “Lukupwe lwa kunyika ca kucwe” Lwalikufumina pansumbu lwalakonempa cangofu.
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.
Ulu lukupwe lwalesa kuma ku bwato cakwinseti calala kuya kwalikufumina lukupwe. Neco twalabuleka kabuya kunyakwa ne lukupwe.
16 And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
Twaleshikilwako ne nsumbu ing'ana ya Kauda, mpotwalenda ku lubasu lwa kumusansa. Kopeloko mukupenga penga, twalacikonsha kukwabilila kabwato kang'ana kali kukwelwa ne bwato bunene.
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.
Kabwato kang'ana balakakwelela mubwato bunene. Balasunga ntambo bwato bunene kwambeti kabuta pausuka. Balikutineti mpani ngabuya buma pa museya waku Siriti mu mbali mwacishi ca Libya. Neco balalasha byombesho bya mu bwato ne kubuleka kabuya kuselaukowa ne lukupwe.
18 And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
Twalasunkanwa ne lukupwe lwangofu lwalapitilisha kupupula. Mpobwalaca, balatatika kufunya bintu mbyebalikuba bamanta ne kubiwala mulwenje.
19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
Pabusuba bwatutatu, balawala mu menshi nabimbi byombesho bya mu bwato.
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 masuba angi nkatwalikulibona lisuba nambi nyenyenshi. Lukupwe lwalapitilisha kupupula cangofu, cakwinseti kupembelela sha kupuluka nkotwalikukute kwalapwa.
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.
Bantu mpobalekala masuba angi kwakubula kulya cakulya, Paulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti, “Mobanse bame, nshinga ne mwalanyumfwa maswi ngondalambeti katutafuma pa Kelete, ne tulabulu kutaikilwa bintu bingi cisa.
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.
Nikukabeco ndamusengengeti muyumishe myoyo, paliya muntu naba umo eshafwe, bwato bonka bweti bonongeke.
23 For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
Ndicinshici, pakwinga lelo mashiku, mungelo wa Lesa uyo kayi e Mwami wakame ngonkute kukambilila langa lesa kuli njame,
24 Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
lambeti, ‘Kotatina Paulo! Ulenga kwimana pamenso pa Mwami waku Loma. Lesa munkumbo shakendi elashomesheti nupuluke, pamo ne bantu bonse mbolinabo mu bulwendobu.’
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
Neco mobanse bame, yumishani myoyo pakwinga ndashometi byonse nibinshike mbuli ncalamba mungelo wa Lesa.
26 And we must come unto a certain island.
Nikukabeco nituye tucinke pansumbu njotuteshi.”
27 But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
Mashiku abusuba mbotwalakwanisha nsondo shibili kufumina mpolwalatatika lukupwe lwacipupu, twalikatuya kwempauka ne lukupwe palwenje lwa Medeteleniya. Pakati pa mashiku basebenshi ba mu bwato bunene balikuyeyeti tuli pepi ne kumutunta.
28 Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
Popelapo balalasha lutambo mu menshi lwalikuba lwasungwako cinshimbi kwakumako, kwambeti babone na nipatali aconi kuya panshi mu menshi apo mpobalikuba. Balacaneti palikuba ntamwa makumi ana kuya panshi. Mpobalendako pang'ana kayi balapima, balacaneti pali ntamwa makumi atatu.
29 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Apa balatineti bwato bunene ngabuya buma pamabwe. Neco balalasha binshimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato bina byalikuba byasungwa kunyuma kwa bwato, balatatika kupaileti kabuca bwangu.
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,
Basebenshi ba mu bwato balikuyanda kuloboka. Neco balaselusha kabwato kang'ana mu menshi, kababoneketi balabikinga binshimbi bishikwimanika bwato bunene, byalikuba byasungwa kuntangu kwa bwato.
31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
Mwabwangu bwangu, Paulo walambila mukulene wabashilikali mwanda, ne bashilikali nabambi mbobalikuba nabo pamo kwambeti, “Na basebenshi ba mu bwato muno bafumemo, nteti mupulukepo sobwe.”
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Popelapo bashilikali balatimbula ntambo shalikuba shasungwako kabwato ako ne kukaleka kakaya kusela pamenshi.
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.
Kabutana buca, Paulo walabasenga bonse kwambeti balye cakulya. Walabambileti, “Alakwana masuba likumi ne ana, mwapembelelangowa kwakubula kulya kantu kalikonse.
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.
Lino ndamusengengeti kamulyani cakulya kwambeti mube ne ngofu sha kupuluka, nteti mulilingepo sobwe.”
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.
Mpwalapwisha kwamba Paulo walamanta shinkwa walatembaula Lesa pamenso abantu, walakomonako walalya.
36 Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
Popelapo bonse balaliyuminisha myoyo balatatika kulya.
37 And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Twense twalikuba mu bwatomo twalikuba myanda ibili, ne makumi asanu ne abili, ne bantu basanu ne umo.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
Bonse mpobalekuta, balawala bifunta bya museke mu menshi byalikuba bilashala mu bwato kwambeti bupubeko.
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.
Mumene mpobwalaca, basebenshi bamubwato bunene balabona mutunta nomba baliya kuwinshiba. Mpobalabona cisapa camuseya balayeyeti benga bemanike bwato popelapo na kacikonsheka.
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.
Balatimbula ntambo shekata bishimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato, ne kubilekela mu menshi, kayi balasungulula ntambo kwalikuba kwasungililwa bitondo byakunyonena bwato. Balakweleka cikwisa cishi kwikata lukupwe calikuba kuntangu kwa bwato kwambeti lukupwe lubatwalanyenga kuntangu. Neco twalabukuba ne kuya ku cisapa.
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.
Nomba bwato bwalakacinka pa museya walikuba mu menshi, popelapo bwalemana. Cimpansha cakuntangu calakapatila mu museya calala kucendesha. Calo cimpansha cakunyuma calapasauka ne mankape alikwisa cangofu.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
Pacindici bashilikali balapanganeti bashine bakaili bonse, kwambeti kapataba naba umo eshasambe nyambwe kutampukila kutala ne kuloboka.
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.
Mukulene wabashilikali mwanda walikuyanda kupulushako Paulo. Pacebo ico walabakanisha ncebalikuyanda kwinsa. Lino walambila bakaili bonse bacinshi kusamba nyambwe kwambeti batangune kuliwala pamenshi benga kutala.
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.
Panyuma pakendi walambila nabambi bonseti baliwale pamenshi, kabali bekatilila ku mapulanga ne bintu nabimbi byalapasauka ku bwato. Umu emotwalatampukila ku mutunta ne kupuluka kwakubula kulilinga.
