Acts 27
1 And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,
Niwa ba ban zi ndi duta zren hi ni Itali, ba vu ba Bulus baba bi son nitro bari yo ni wo soja wani nji deri ri, wa ndema hi Julius, wu ngbran soja u kikle chu.
2 and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
Ki ri nimi Jirgima rjini Adramyttium wa a ta dran zu ni nyu meme wu Asiya. Niki ki ka hon tuma. Aristarkus wa a rjini Tesalonika wu Macedonia a zren huta.
3 on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, permitted [him], having gone on to friends, to receive [their] care.
Ni vi wu huki, ki kukri ni kikle gbu u Sidon, niwa Julius a mla Bulus nji nda duu hi ka to kpukpan ma nda kpa zo ni wo mba.
4 And there, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
Rji niki, ki hon tu ma ndi zren ni suka wu Cyprus, whewhire ni nklan memea, nitu kikle ngyungyu ata gbita.
5 and having sailed over the sea down by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,
Niwa ki zren ka rugran kpatema'a, ki vu Silisia mba Pamphylia yba, ndi ka kukri ni Myra, kikle gbu u Lycia.
6 and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,
Niki, soja wu yaba, a to jirgi wa a rji ni Alexandria nda ni dran hini Itali. A vuta sru nimi.
7 and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming down by Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, down by Salmone,
Niwa sren me wu vi gbugbuwu ndi ka ri ni ya ni klekle whewhire ni Cnidus, mba wa ngyungyu'a ana nuba nkon zu niki ngana ki dran zu ni suuka u Crete, wa ata ya Salmone.
8 and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
Ki dran zu ni nyu kpatre ma'a nimi ya, rhini ka ye tra ni buburi wa ba yo ndi Fair Havens (bubu u kurhi) wandi a he hwehwire ni kikle gbu u Lasea.
9 And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
Kina ban nton wa a fon bran ye, nton wu ka rhikpe Yahudawa aka hiye wa a he ni di duta si dran hi. Niki, Bulus a gbiton ni bawu,
10 saying to them, “Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives—the voyage is about to be”;
nda tre ndi, “Indji, Mi si to ndi zren dran wa ki son luku zizan anihe ni yra tu mba-kurjoku gbugbuwu ni tawu, ana ni kpi bi mi jirgi mba jirgi'a megen na, i mba vri son kpambu ngame.”
11 but the centurion gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;
I Centurion a yo ton ni tiko mba indji wu jirgia zan kpi wa Bulus a hla a.
12 and the haven being not well placed to winter in, the greater part gave counsel to sail from there, if somehow they might be able, having attained to Phoenix, to winter [there], [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest,
Nitu bubu mla kri jirgia ana he ni idi duba ki ti iga niki, gbugbu bi tru (tindu) jirgia ba nron ndi du ba dran rju niki, mba ndi nkon nita he duba hi ri ni gbu Phoenix, nda hi son kle ga niki. Phoenix hi hloma wu ri jirgia wa a he ni Crete, ndani ya kogbo ni yalu mba koshu ni yalu.
13 and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
Niwa ngyungyu ri ni kogbo a lu si fu sesren, bi ndu jirgia ba ban ndi ba he wa ba waa. U baka si nkan u jirgia nda dran hi ni Crete hwehwire ni meme u nyu maa.
14 and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the Euroclydon,
Niwa nton fyi aka hi kikle ngyungyu wu gbengblen, wa ba yondi koshu kahi ni nzu Irji, a lu si tsi ni grji rjini nklan memea.
15 and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were carried on,
Niwa jirgia a rini nkon ngyungyua, nda na la to nkon wu zuhi na, kitome ni nu ngyungyua nkon, wa a gbita si hi.
16 and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
Ki dran hu ni bubu ri wu vi nklan meme wa ba yondi Cauda, mba ni vi ya, ki vu ghwu wu kpachuwo mla lo zi.
17 which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall into the [sandbars of] Syrtis, having let down the mast—so were carried on.
Niwa ba nzu ghwua hon, ba tindu ni rjirjima nda lo kikle jirgia. Ba ti sissri nitu bama hi dran hi vu nhan kmu wu Syrtis; niki ba fon gri ni l'pn (anchor) jirgia nda si hu zren maa.
18 And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
Kikle ngyungyu a tsi ta tiya nda duta nivi huka hua, ki ri vuu kpi nimi jirgia ni sru nimi mma.
19 and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,
Nivi u tra bi tindu mi jirgi ba vu kpi ndu mba vra hle nimi mma ni womba.
20 and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little storm lying on us, from then on all hope was taken away of our being saved.
Niwa Irji mba tsintse bana kpan nitawu wu vi gbugbuwu, mba wa kikle ngyungyu a ri si fu ta, yo sron ndi ki nawo a kado.
21 And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, “It was necessary, indeed, O men—having listened to me—not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
Niwa ba hi hama ni biri wu nton bran, niki Bulus a lu kri nimi bi tindu ba nda tre ndi, “Indji, binina wo me, nina kuu dran rjini Crete na, nitu du yi na kpa nkpan mba kahle yina.
22 and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;
Zizan mi nron yi nitu du yi he ni gbengblen sron, ndrjo na ka he ni vri mana, i jirgia megen ki hon u.
23 for this night there stood by me a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve—
Ni chu la rhen Maleka u Irji wa me mi u ma, wa mi nzu hon ni bre - Maleka ma a whi nime
24 saying, Do not be afraid Paul; it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you;
nda tre ndi, “Na ti sissri na, Bulus. Wu hi kri ni shishi Caesar, ni to indji ni lo sron ma a nu wawu indji wa ba si dran ni wu.”
25 for this reason be of good cheer, men! For I believe God, that so it will be, even as it has been spoken to me,
Nitu ki, vu sron, indji, nitu mi nyme ni Irji ndi a niye he to wa ba hla mua.
26 and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”
I ki zi hle ni nklan meme ri.”
27 And when the fourteenth night came—we being carried up and down in the Adria—toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew near to them;
Ni chu wu vi wu wlon don nza a yea, niwa a sia gbita hi ni wa mba nia mu ni kpatrema wu Adriatic, ni tsutsu chu bi ndu jirgima ba ban ya ndi ba sia ye hwehwire ni meme.
28 and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
Ba ban ya ni ikpi ndu mba nda to ndi a don tsra za tso don tandra, i hu nton fii ba la tsra nda to ndi a hi za wlon don ton.
29 and fearing lest we may fall on rough places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were wishing day to come.
Ba tie sissri ndi ki ye kurjoku nzi kpa ni tita, niki ba si nkan nzia wu jirgi rjini tu ma nda bre ndi du mble kpan gbagbla.
30 And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretense as [if] out of the prow they are about to cast anchors,
Bi tindu nimi jirgi ba sia ya nkon u ka jirgia don nda si vi tsitsa irgi'a chuwo grji ri nimi kpan tren maa nda ta gyru ndi basi ta nkan ghu'a ri ni ko shishi ma (ghu'a).
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;
I Bulus a tre ni chubiku baba sojoji ba, “Indji biyi batina kinimi jirgia na, ba na nawo na.”
32 then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.
Niki sojoji ba ba sren rjiri wu tsitsa jirgia nda duu zren hi.
33 And until the day was about to be, Paul was calling on all to partake of nourishment, saying, “Fourteen days today, waiting, you continue fasting, having taken nothing,
Niwa mble asi kpan niye, Bulus a nronba wawumba ndi duba rhi biri. A tre ndi, luwa hi vi wu wlon don nza wa bi zi kri gben hama ni rhi biri - bina rhi kpe na.
34 for this reason I call on you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you will a hair fall from the head”;
Niki mi yoyi ni du yi ga vi biri, kima yi ni kpayi chuwo. Nitu indji ri me nimimbi na wa wlo nfutu ma ri hama nituma na.”
35 and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;
Niwa a tre toyi kle, a ban bredi nda ngyiri ni Irji ni shishi mba. Niki a nzi bredia nda lu si tan (rhi).
36 and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,
Niki wawumba ba kri ti gbengblen sron nda ban biri rhi ngame.
37 (and we were—all the souls in the ship—two hundred, seventy-six),
Kina vri indji 276 (deri ha ni sabain don tanne) ni mi jirgia.
38 and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.
Niwa ba rhi wrji, ba ju alkama vra hle ni kpan trema nitu du jirgi na ron bran na.
39 And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but were perceiving a certain bay having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,
Niwa mble a nhra, bana mla to memea na, i ba to kofron ri ni meme nyu ma, nda sronmu ndi koka duba tru jirgia hi niki.
40 and having taken up the anchors, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time—having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the foresail to the wind—they were making for the shore,
Niki ba han rjirji nkan ba rju nda kaba don ni kpantre ma'a. Ni nton kima ngame ba si rjirji wa ba kma jirgia niwu, nda nzu nkanwu ko shishi jirgia hon his shu, niki ba yo tu hi ni bubu zontu kpantre maa.
41 and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the prow, indeed, having stuck fast, remained immoveable, but the stern was broken by the violence of the waves.
I jirgia a ka son chi ni meme nda kukri nkpan jirgia a vu meme kri nda na chu zren na i kurar jirgi a nzi nitu gbengblen ngyungyu wa a hea.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone having swam out should escape,
Sojoi ba ba wa nkon wu wuu bi mitro ba nitu du rimba na dran hi nda nawo na.
43 but the centurion, resolving to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and commanded those able to swim, having cast themselves out first—to get to the land,
I Chu bi kua ata son kpa Bulus chuwo, niki a zuba ni nkon kima, nda du biwa ba to dran du ba za guchi nda hi ni bubu meme.
44 and the rest, some indeed on boards, and some on certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
I imbru indji ba baka hugon, bari nitu ngma bla kunkron, i bari nitu kpi bari rjini jirgia. Ni nkon yi a he ndi wawu mbu kika ri ni tu meme piame.
