Acts 27
1 Now when it was concluded, that we should sayle into Italie, they deliuered both Paul, and certaine other prisoners vnto a Centurion named Iulius, of the band of Augustus.
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 And we entred into a ship of Adramyttium purposing to saile by the coastes of Asia, and launched foorth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with vs.
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 next day we arriued at Sidon: and Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to go vnto his friends, that they might refresh him.
Busuba bwalakonkapo, twalashika ku Sidoni. Juliyasi walamunyumfwila nkumbo Paulo, walamusuminisha kuya kubona banendi kwambeti, bamupengonga bintu bilayandikinga palyendiye.
4 And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie.
Mpotwalafuma uko, kayi pacebo cacipupu calikubako, twalapitila kwalikubula cipupu kunsa kwansumbu ya Saipulasi.
5 Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie 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 found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.
Uko mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, nkwalacana bwato bunene bwalikufuma ku Alekisandiliya bwalikuya ku Italiya, emwalatutantika.
7 And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to 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 adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.
Twalenda mwa kupengapenga mu mbali mwa nsumbu, mpaka twalashika pamusena walikukwiweti “Bito Byaina,” Pepi ne munshi wa Laseya.
9 So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted 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 And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.
“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 Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.
Nomba nendi mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, walanyumfwila mukulene wa basebenshi ba bwato ne mwine bwato, kupita maswi ngalamba Paulo.
12 And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.
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 when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
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 anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
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 resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
Ulu lukupwe lwalesa kuma ku bwato cakwinseti calala kuya kwalikufumina lukupwe. Neco twalabuleka kabuya kunyakwa ne lukupwe.
16 And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get 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 they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.
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 The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.
Twalasunkanwa ne lukupwe lwangofu lwalapitilisha kupupula. Mpobwalaca, balatatika kufunya bintu mbyebalikuba bamanta ne kubiwala mulwenje.
19 And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.
Pabusuba bwatutatu, balawala mu menshi nabimbi byombesho bya mu bwato.
20 And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.
Kwa masuba angi nkatwalikulibona lisuba nambi nyenyenshi. Lukupwe lwalapitilisha kupupula cangofu, cakwinseti kupembelela sha kupuluka nkotwalikukute kwalapwa.
21 But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse.
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 But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shalbe no losse of any mans life among you, saue of the ship onely.
Nikukabeco ndamusengengeti muyumishe myoyo, paliya muntu naba umo eshafwe, bwato bonka bweti bonongeke.
23 For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue,
Ndicinshici, pakwinga lelo mashiku, mungelo wa Lesa uyo kayi e Mwami wakame ngonkute kukambilila langa lesa kuli njame,
24 Saying, Feare not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath giuen vnto thee freely all that sayle 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 courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me.
Neco mobanse bame, yumishani myoyo pakwinga ndashometi byonse nibinshike mbuli ncalamba mungelo wa Lesa.
26 Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.
Nikukabeco nituye tucinke pansumbu njotuteshi.”
27 And when ye fourteenth night was come, as we were caried to and from in the Adriaticall sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some countrey approched vnto them,
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 And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene 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 least they should haue fallen into some rough places, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished that the day were come.
Apa balatineti bwato bunene ngabuya buma pamabwe. Neco balalasha binshimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato bina byalikuba byasungwa kunyuma kwa bwato, balatatika kupaileti kabuca bwangu.
30 Nowe as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let downe the boat into the sea vnder a colour as though they would haue cast ankers out of the foreship,
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 sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe.
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 souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.
Popelapo bashilikali balatimbula ntambo shalikuba shasungwako kabwato ako ne kukaleka kakaya kusela pamenshi.
33 And when it began to be day, Paul exhorted them all to take meate, saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, receiuing nothing:
Kabutana buca, Paulo walabasenga bonse kwambeti balye cakulya. Walabambileti, “Alakwana masuba likumi ne ana, mwapembelelangowa kwakubula kulya kantu kalikonse.
34 Wherefore I exhort you to take meate: for this is for your safegarde: for there shall not an heare fall from the head of any of you.
Lino ndamusengengeti kamulyani cakulya kwambeti mube ne ngofu sha kupuluka, nteti mulilingepo sobwe.”
35 And when he had thus spoken, hee tooke bread and gaue thankes to God, in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eate.
Mpwalapwisha kwamba Paulo walamanta shinkwa walatembaula Lesa pamenso abantu, walakomonako walalya.
36 Then were they all of good courage, and they also tooke meate.
Popelapo bonse balaliyuminisha myoyo balatatika kulya.
37 Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules.
Twense twalikuba mu bwatomo twalikuba myanda ibili, ne makumi asanu ne abili, ne bantu basanu ne umo.
38 And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, and cast out 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 knewe not the countrey, but they spied a certaine creeke with a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) 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 So when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed the ship vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and drewe to the 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 they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stucke fast, and could not be moued, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waues.
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 Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away.
Pacindici bashilikali balapanganeti bashine bakaili bonse, kwambeti kapataba naba umo eshasambe nyambwe kutampukila kutala ne kuloboka.
43 But the Centurion willing to saue Paul, stayed them from this counsell, and commanded that they that coulde swimme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and goe out 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 other, some on boardes, and some on certaine pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they came all 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.
