Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
Zvino kwakati kwatemwa kuti tiende kuItaria nechikepe, vakakumikidza Pauro nevamwewo vasungwa kumukuru wezana wainzi Juriasi, wehondo yamambo mukuru.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Zvino takati tapinda muchikepe cheAdhiramitiyamu, chaiva choda kuenda nemugungwa tichitevedza nzvimbo dzeAsia, tikatanga kufamba nechikepe, Arisitako muMakedhonia weTesaronika anesu.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
Chifume tikasvika paSidhoni; Juriasi akabata Pauro zvakanaka, akamutendera kuti aende kushamwari, kuti abatsirwe.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Takati tabva ipapo nechikepe tikapfuura takadzikatirwa neSaipuresi, nokuti mhepo yaitipikisa,
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
tikati tayambuka gungwa rakatevedza Kirikia nePamufiriya, takasvika paMaira yeRisia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
Ipapo mukuru wezana akawana chikepe cheAreksandiria chinoenda kuItaria, ndokutipinza machiri.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
Zvino takati tananaira nechikepe mazuva mazhinji, tikasvika pakatarisana neKinido nemutsutsururu, mhepo isingatitenderi, tikaburuka takatevedza Kirete, kwakatarisana neSarimoni;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
tikapapfuura nemutsutsururu tikasvika pane imwe nzvimbo panonzi Zororo Rakanaka; pedo naro paiva neguta Rasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
Zvino nguva huru yakati yapfuura, nekufamba nechikepe ikozvino kwava nenjodzi, nokuti kutsanyawo kwakange kwatopfuura, Pauro akavayambira,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
achiti kwavari: Varume, ndinoona kuti rwendo rwuchava nekukuvara nekurasikirwa kuzhinji, zvisati zviri zvemutoro nechikepe chete, asi nekweupenyu hwedu.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
Asi mukuru wezana wakatenda mufambisi wechikepe nemwene wechikepe kupfuura zvinhu zvakarehwa naPauro.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
Zvino sezvo zororo rakange risina kunaka kugarwa muchando, vazhinji vakayambira kuti pabviwe, zvimwe vangagona kusvika kuFenikisi vagareko muchando, ndiro zororo reKirete, rakange rakatarira kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumavirira nekumaodzanyemba akadziva kumavirira.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
Zvino mhepo yechamhembe yakati ichifefetera, vakafunga kuti vawana vavariro yavo, vakabvisa zvipingo zvechikepe, vakatevedza pedo neKirete nechikepe.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
Asi pasina kupfuura nguva huru mhepo ine simba yainzi Yurokiridhoni, yakachirova;
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
zvino chikepe chakati chabatwa, chisingagoni kumirisana nemhepo, tikarega tikakukurwa.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Zvino takatevedza zasi kwechimwe chiwi chidiki chinonzi Kraudha, tikakwanisa kubata chikepe nemutsutsururu;
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
chavakati vachisimudza, vakashandisa zvibatsiro, vachisunga chikepe nepasi; vachitya kuti vacharasikira paSetisi, vakaderedza seiri, ndokukukurwa saizvozvo.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
Zvino tichatambudzwa kwazvo nedutu remhepo, chifume vakabudisa nhumbi kunze;
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
uye pazuva retatu, takarasa zvombo zvechikepe nemaoko edu pachedu.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
Zvino kwakati kusina kuonekwa zuva kana nyeredzi kwemazuva mazhinji, nedutu risati riri diki remhepo richisimba, kubva ipapo tariro yese yekuti tichaponeswa ikatorwa.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Zvino yakati yava nguva refu vasingadyi, ipapo Pauro akamira pakati pavo, akati: Haiwa, varume, mungadai makanditeerera mukasabva paKirete, mukapukunyuka kukuvara uku nekurasikirwa.
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 of the ship.
Asi ikozvino ndinokukurudzirai kuti mutsunge moyo; nokuti hakungavi nekurasikirwa neupenyu pakati penyu, asi kwechikepe.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Nokuti usiku huno kwakamira neni mutumwa waMwari, wandiri wake, newandinoshumira,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
achiti: Usatya Pauro; unofanira kumira pamberi paKesari; zvino tarira, Mwari wakupa vese vanofamba newe muchikepe.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Naizvozvo varume tsungai moyo; nokuti ndinotenda kuna Mwari kuti zvichava saizvozvi senzira yandakaudzwa nayo.
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
Asi tinofanira kurasirwa pane chimwe chiwi.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
Zvino usiku hwegumi neuna hwakati hwasvika, tichangomveeswa muAdhira, panenge pakati peusiku, vafambisi vechikepe vakafunga kuti imwe nyika yoswedera kwavari;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
vakakanda gavi rekuyera kudzika vakawana mafadomi makumi maviri; vakati vapfuura zvishoma, vakakandazve gavi rekuyera kudzika, vakawana mafadomi gumi nemashanu;
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
zvino vakatya kuti zvimwe tichawira pamabwe, vakakanda zvipingo zvina neshure kwechikepe, vakashuva kuedza.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
Zvino vafambisi vechikepe vakati vachitsvaka kutiza muchikepe, vaburusira igwa mugungwa, vachiita sevanenge vokanda zvipingo mberi kwechikepe,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Pauro akati kumukuru wezana nekumauto: Kana ava vakasagara muchikepe, imwi hamugoni kuponeswa.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Ipapo mauto akagura mabote egwa, ndokurirega rikawa.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
Zvino kwakati koedza, Pauro akakumbirisa vese kuti vadye, achiti: Nhasi izuva regumi nechina ramakagarira muchitsanya, musingadyi chinhu.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Saka ndinokukumbirisai kuti mudye; nokuti ndezveruponeso rwenyu; nokuti hakuna ruvhudzi rwuchawa pamusoro weumwe wenyu.
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
Wakati areva zvinhu izvi, atora chingwa, akavonga kuna Mwari pamberi pavo vese, akati achimedura akatanga kudya.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
Zvino vakatsunga moyo vese, uye ivo vakadya.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Zvino isu, mweya yese yaiva muchikepe, taiva mazana maviri nemakumi manomwe nevatanhatu.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Zvino vakati vaguta kudya vakarerusa chikepe, vachikanda zviyo kunze mugungwa.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Kwakati kwaedza, vakasaziva nyika; asi vakaona rimwe mhenderekedzo rekuzorora raiva nemahombekombe ejecha, vakarangana kana vaigona, kuti vasundire chikepe pariri.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
Zvino vakagura zvipingo, vakazvisiya mugungwa, nenguva iyoyo vakasunungura zvisungo, vakasimudzira seiri repamberi kumhepo, vakaruramira kumahombekombe.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
Zvino vakati vachiwira panzvimbo pamasanganirano emakungwa, vakagumhirisa chikepe pasi; muromo ukabatira ndokurambira usingazununguki, asi rutivi rweshure rukavhunika nesimba remafungu.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Zvino zano remauto rekuti vauraye vasungwa, kuti zvimwe vamwe vangashambira vakatiza.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
Asi mukuru wezana achida kuponesa Pauro, akavadzivisa pazvinangwa zvavo, akaraira kuti vanogona kushambira vatange kuzviwisira mugungwa, vaende kunyika;
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
uye vakasara, vamwe pamatanda, vamwe pane zvimwe zvipenga zvechikepe. Saizvozvowo zvakaitika kuti vese vakasvika kunyika vari vapenyu.
