< Acts 27 >

1 Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the imperial cohort.
جَلَپَتھیناسْماکَمْ اِتولِیادیشَں پْرَتِ یاتْرایاں نِشْچِتایاں سَتْیاں تے یُولِیَنامْنو مَہاراجَسْیَ سَںگھاتانْتَرْگَتَسْیَ سیناپَتیح سَمِیپے پَولَں تَدَنْیانْ کَتِنَیَجَناںشْچَ سَمارْپَیَنْ۔
2 So we embarked in a ship of Atramytium, being about to sail to points along the Asian coast, and we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.
وَیَمْ آدْرامُتِّییَں پوتَمیکَمْ آرُہْیَ آشِیادیشَسْیَ تَٹَسَمِیپینَ یاتُں مَتِں کرِتْوا لَنْگَرَمْ اُتّھاپْیَ پوتَمْ اَموچَیامَ؛ ماکِدَنِیادیشَسْتھَتھِشَلَنِیکِینِواسْیارِسْتارْکھَناما کَشْچِدْ جَنوسْمابھِح سارْدّھَمْ آسِیتْ۔
3 The next day we landed at Sidon; Julius treated Paul kindly and permitted him to go to his friends and receive care.
پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسے سْمابھِح سِیدونَّگَرے پوتے لاگِتے تَتْرَ یُولِیَح سیناپَتِح پَولَں پْرَتِ سَوجَنْیَں پْرَدَرْتھْیَ سانْتْوَنارْتھَں بَنْدھُبانْدھَوانْ اُپَیاتُمْ اَنُجَجْنَو۔
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
تَسْماتْ پوتے موچِتے سَتِ سَمُّکھَوایوح سَمْبھَوادْ وَیَں کُپْروپَدْوِیپَسْیَ تِیرَسَمِیپینَ گَتَوَنْتَح۔
5 And when we had sailed across the sea that is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
کِلِکِیایاح پامْپھُولِیایاشْچَ سَمُدْرَسْیَ پارَں گَتْوا لُوکِیادیشانْتَرْگَتَں مُرانَگَرَمْ اُپاتِشْٹھامَ۔
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.
تَتْسْتھانادْ اِتالِیادیشَں گَچّھَتِ یَح سِکَنْدَرِیانَگَرَسْیَ پوتَسْتَں تَتْرَ پْراپْیَ شَتَسیناپَتِسْتَں پوتَمْ اَسْمانْ آروہَیَتْ۔
7 When we had sailed slowly many days and scarcely arrived opposite Cnidus, the wind did not allow us to go forward, so we sailed for the lee of Crete by way of Salmone;
تَتَح پَرَں بَہُونِ دِنانِ شَنَیح شَنَیح رْگَتْوا کْنِیدَپارْشْووپَسْتھْتِح پُورْوَّں پْرَتِکُولینَ پَوَنینَ وَیَں سَلْمونْیاح سَمُّکھَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ کْرِیتْیُپَدْوِیپَسْیَ تِیرَسَمِیپینَ گَتَوَنْتَح۔
8 sailing along it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
کَشْٹینَ تَمُتِّیرْیَّ لاسییانَگَرَسْیادھَح سُنْدَرَنامَکَں کھاتَمْ اُپاتِشْٹھامَ۔
9 Much time had been lost and sailing was already dangerous, because even the Fast had already taken place; Paul repeatedly warned them
اِتّھَں بَہُتِتھَح کالو یاپِتَ اُپَواسَدِنَنْچاتِیتَں، تَتْکارَناتْ نَووَرْتْمَنِ بھَیَنْکَرے سَتِ پَولو وِنَیینَ کَتھِتَوانْ،
10 saying, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is about to be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but even of our lives.”
ہے مَہیچّھا اَہَں نِشْچَیَں جانامِ یاتْرایامَسْیامْ اَسْماکَں کْلیشا بَہُونامَپَچَیاشْچَ بھَوِشْیَنْتِ، تے کیوَلَں پوتَسامَگْرْیورِتِ نَہِ، کِنْتْوَسْماکَں پْرانانامَپِ۔
11 But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and ship owner rather than by what Paul said.
تَدا شَتَسیناپَتِح پَولوکْتَواکْیَتوپِ کَرْنَدھارَسْیَ پوتَوَنِجَشْچَ واکْیَں بَہُمَںسْتَ۔
12 And since the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised sailing on, to see if they could get to Phoenix in order to winter, it being a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest.
تَتْ کھاتَں شِیتَکالے واسارْہَسْتھانَں نَ تَسْمادْ اَواچِیپْرَتِیچورْدِشوح کْرِیتْیاح پھَینِیکِیَکھاتَں یاتُں یَدِ شَکْنُوَنْتَسْتَرْہِ تَتْرَ شِیتَکالَں یاپَیِتُں پْرایینَ سَرْوّے مَنْتْرَیاماسُح۔
13 So when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
تَتَح پَرَں دَکْشِنَوایُ رْمَنْدَں وَہَتِیتِ وِلوکْیَ نِجابھِپْرایَسْیَ سِدّھیح سُیوگو بھَوَتِیتِ بُدّھوا پوتَں موچَیِتْوا کْرِیتْیُپَدْوِیپَسْیَ تِیرَسَمِیپینَ چَلِتَوَنْتَح۔
14 But not long after, a cyclonic wind blasted down from the land (it is called Euroclydon).
کِنْتْوَلْپَکْشَناتْ پَرَمیوَ اُرَکْلُدونّاما پْرَتِکُولَح پْرَچَنْڈو وایُ رْوَہَنْ پوتےلَگِیتْ
15 Well the ship was caught and could not head into the wind, so we gave up and were driven along.
تَسْیابھِمُکھَں گَنْتُمْ پوتَسْیاشَکْتَتْوادْ وَیَں وایُنا سْوَیَں نِیتاح۔
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we barely managed to secure the skiff;
اَنَنْتَرَں کْلَودِینامْنَ اُپَدْوِیپَسْیَ کُولَسَمِیپینَ پوتَں گَمَیِتْوا بَہُنا کَشْٹینَ کْشُدْرَناوَمْ اَرَکْشامَ۔
17 when they had hoisted it aboard, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing that they might fall into the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and so were driven along.
تے تامارُہْیَ رَجّچا پوتَسْیادھوبھاگَمْ اَبَدھْنَنْ تَدَنَنْتَرَں چیتْ پوتو سَیکَتے لَگَتِیتِ بھَیادْ واتَوَسَنانْیَموچَیَنْ تَتَح پوتو وایُنا چالِتَح۔
18 We were being so violently battered by the storm that the next day they began to jettison things,
کِنْتُ کْرَمَشو وایوح پْرَبَلَتْواتْ پوتو دولایَمانوبھَوَتْ پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسے پوتَسْتھانِ کَتِپَیانِ دْرَوْیانِ تویے نِکْشِپْتانِ۔
19 and on the third we threw off the ship's tackle with our own hands.
ترِتِییَدِوَسے وَیَں سْوَہَسْتَیح پوتَسَجَّنَدْرَوْیانِ نِکْشِپْتَوَنْتَح۔
20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a major storm was still pounding us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
تَتو بَہُدِنانِ یاوَتْ سُورْیَّنَکْشَتْرادِینِ سَماچّھَنّانِ تَتو تِیوَ واتْیاگَمادْ اَسْماکَں پْرانَرَکْشایاح کاپِ پْرَتْیاشا ناتِشْٹھَتْ۔
21 Now after long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said: “Well men, it would have been better to take my advice and not sail from Crete, only to ‘gain’ this damage and loss.
بَہُدِنیشُ لوکَیرَناہارینَ یاپِتیشُ سَرْوّیشاں ساکْشَتْ پَولَسْتِشْٹھَنْ اَکَتھَیَتْ، ہے مَہیچّھاح کْرِیتْیُپَدْوِیپاتْ پوتَں نَ موچَیِتُمْ اَہَں پُورْوَّں یَدْ اَوَدَں تَدْگْرَہَنَں یُشْماکَمْ اُچِتَمْ آسِیتْ تَتھا کرِتے یُشْماکَمْ ایشا وِپَدْ ایشوپَچَیَشْچَ ناگھَٹِشْییتامْ۔
22 But now I urge you to take heart, because there will be no loss of life among you, only of the ship.
کِنْتُ سامْپْرَتَں یُشْمانْ وِنِییَ بْرَوِیمْیَہَں، یُویَں نَ کْشُبھْیَتَ یُشْماکَمْ ایکَسْیاپِ پْرانِنو ہانِ رْنَ بھَوِشْیَتِ، کیوَلَسْیَ پوتَسْیَ ہانِ رْبھَوِشْیَتِ۔
23 This night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood by me
یَتو یَسْییشْوَرَسْیَ لوکوہَں یَنْچاہَں پَرِچَرامِ تَدِییَ ایکو دُوتو ہْیو راتْرَو مَمانْتِکے تِشْٹھَنْ کَتھِتَوانْ،
24 and said: ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. Furthermore, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
ہے پَولَ ما بھَیشِیح کَیسَرَسْیَ سَمُّکھے تْوَیوپَسْتھاتَوْیَں؛ تَوَیتانْ سَنْگِنو لوکانْ اِیشْوَرَسْتُبھْیَں دَتَّوانْ۔
25 So take courage, men, because I believe in God that it will be just as it was told me.
اَتَایوَ ہے مَہیچّھا یُویَں سْتھِرَمَنَسو بھَوَتَ مَہْیَں یا کَتھاکَتھِ ساوَشْیَں گھَٹِشْیَتے مَمَیتادرِشِی وِشْواسَ اِیشْوَرے وِدْیَتے،
26 Also, we must run aground on a certain island.”
کِنْتُ کَسْیَچِدْ اُپَدْوِیپَسْیوپَرِ پَتِتَوْیَمْ اَسْمابھِح۔
27 Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven here and there in the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were nearing some land.
تَتَح پَرَمْ آدْرِیاسَمُدْرے پوتَسْتَتھَیوَ دولایَمانَح سَنْ اِتَسْتَتو گَچّھَنْ چَتُرْدَشَدِوَسَسْیَ راتْرے رْدْوِتِییَپْرَہَرَسَمَیے کَسْیَچِتْ سْتھَلَسْیَ سَمِیپَمُپَتِشْٹھَتِیتِ پوتِییَلوکا اَنْوَمَنْیَنْتَ۔
28 They took a sounding and found twenty fathoms; going on a little they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.
تَتَسْتے جَلَں پَرِمایَ تَتْرَ وِںشَتِ رْوْیاما جَلانِیتِ جْناتَوَنْتَح۔ کِنْچِدُّورَں گَتْوا پُنَرَپِ جَلَں پَرِمِتَوَنْتَح۔ تَتْرَ پَنْچَدَشَ وْیاما جَلانِ درِشْٹْوا
29 So fearing that we might be driven into a rocky area, they dropped four anchors from the stern and started praying for day to come.
چیتْ پاشانے لَگَتِیتِ بھَیاتْ پوتَسْیَ پَشْچادْبھاگَتَشْچَتُرو لَنْگَرانْ نِکْشِپْیَ دِواکَرَمْ اَپیکْشْیَ سَرْوّے سْتھِتَوَنْتَح۔
30 Now under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, the sailors lowered the skiff into the sea, intending to flee from the ship;
کِنْتُ پوتِییَلوکاح پوتاگْرَبھاگے لَنْگَرَنِکْشیپَں چھَلَں کرِتْوا جَلَدھَو کْشُدْرَناوَمْ اَوَروہْیَ پَلایِتُمْ اَچیشْٹَنْتَ۔
31 so Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
تَتَح پَولَح سیناپَتَیے سَینْیَگَنایَ چَ کَتھِتَوانْ، ایتے یَدِ پوتَمَدھْیے نَ تِشْٹھَنْتِ تَرْہِ یُشْماکَں رَکْشَنَں نَ شَکْیَں۔
32 Then the soldiers severed the ropes of the skiff and let it fall away.
تَدا سیناگَنو رَجُّونْ چھِتْوا ناوَں جَلے پَتِتُمْ اَدَداتْ۔
33 While the day was coming on, Paul started urging them all to receive food, saying: “Today is the fourteenth day of waiting—you continue without eating, having taken nothing.
پْرَبھاتَسَمَیے پَولَح سَرْوّانْ جَنانْ بھوجَنارْتھَں پْرارْتھْیَ وْیاہَرَتْ، اَدْیَ چَتُرْدَشَدِنانِ یاوَدْ یُویَمْ اَپیکْشَمانا اَناہاراح کالَمْ اَیاپَیَتَ کِمَپِ نابھُںگْدھَں۔
34 Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, because this is for our survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.”
اَتو وِنَیےہَں بھَکْشْیَں بھُجْیَتاں تَتو یُشْماکَں مَنْگَلَں بھَوِشْیَتِ، یُشْماکَں کَسْیَچِجَّنَسْیَ شِرَسَح کیشَیکوپِ نَ نَںکْشْیَتِ۔
35 Upon saying this he picked up some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all; then he broke it and began to eat.
اِتِ وْیاہرِتْیَ پَولَں پُوپَں گرِہِیتْویشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں بھاشَمانَسْتَں بھَںکْتْوا بھوکْتُمْ آرَبْدھَوانْ۔
36 So they all were encouraged and took food themselves.
اَنَنْتَرَں سَرْوّے چَ سُسْتھِراح سَنْتَح کھادْیانِ پَرْپْیَگرِہْلَنْ۔
37 (In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.)
اَسْماکَں پوتے شَٹْسَپْتَتْیَدھِکَشَتَدْوَیَلوکا آسَنْ۔
38 So when they had eaten enough, they started lightening the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.
سَرْوّیشُ لوکیشُ یَتھیشْٹَں بھُکْتَوَتْسُ پوتَسْتھَنْ گودھُومانْ جَلَدھَو نِکْشِپْیَ تَیح پوتَسْیَ بھارو لَگھُوکرِتَح۔
39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship, if possible.
دِنے جاتےپِ سَ کو دیشَ اِتِ تَدا نَ پَرْیَّچِییَتَ؛ کِنْتُ تَتْرَ سَمَتَٹَمْ ایکَں کھاتَں درِشْٹْوا یَدِ شَکْنُمَسْتَرْہِ وَیَں تَسْیابھْیَنْتَرَں پوتَں گَمَیامَ اِتِ مَتِں کرِتْوا تے لَنْگَرانْ چھِتّوا جَلَدھَو تْیَکْتَوَنْتَح۔
40 Casting off the anchors they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
تَتھا کَرْنَبَنْدھَنَں موچَیِتْوا پْرَدھانَں واتَوَسَنَمْ اُتّولْیَ تِیرَسَمِیپَں گَتَوَنْتَح۔
41 But they fell into a place where two seas met and ran the vessel aground; the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the violence of the waves.
کِنْتُ دْوَیوح سَمُدْرَیوح سَنْگَمَسْتھانے سَیکَتوپَرِ پوتے نِکْشِپْتے گْرَبھاگے بادھِتے پَشْچادْبھاگے پْرَبَلَتَرَنْگولَگَتْ تینَ پوتو بھَگْنَح۔
42 Now the plan of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
تَسْمادْ بَنْدَیَشْچیدْ باہُبھِسْتَرَنْتَح پَلایَنْتے اِتْیاشَنْکَیا سیناگَنَسْتانْ ہَنْتُمْ اَمَنْتْرَیَتْ؛
43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, stopped them from doing it and ordered those who could swim to jump in first and go toward the land,
کِنْتُ شَتَسیناپَتِح پَولَں رَکْشِتُں پْرَیَتْنَں کرِتْوا تانْ تَچّیشْٹایا نِوَرْتْیَ اِتْیادِشْٹَوانْ، یے باہُتَرَنَں جانَنْتِ تےگْرے پْرولَّمْپْیَ سَمُدْرے پَتِتْوا باہُبھِسْتِیرْتّوا کُولَں یانْتُ۔
44 followed by the rest, some on planks and some on things from the ship. And in this way they all escaped safely to the land.
اَپَرَمْ اَوَشِشْٹا جَناح کاشْٹھَں پوتِییَں دْرَوْیَں وا یینَ یَتْ پْراپْیَتے تَدَوَلَمْبْیَ یانْتُ؛ اِتّھَں سَرْوّے بھُومِں پْراپْیَ پْرانَے رْجِیوِتاح۔
