Acts 27
1 And as it was determined that we should set sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and some other prisoners, to a centurions of the Augustan Band, whose name was Julius.
Nikwakayeyegwa kuti twelede kuyaku Itali abwaato bakasala Pawulu abamwi baange kumwendelezi wabasilumamba utegwa Juliyasi wamunkamu.
2 And going on board a ship of Adramyttis, we weighed anchor, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus, a Macedonian, of Thessalonica, being with us.
Twakanjila mubwato buzwa ku Adilamatiyamu oobo bwakali bwaba afwifwi kuti bunyampuke bwakali kuyoyinda kunkomwe ya Eziya. Mpawo twakayinka kulwizi. Alisitachasi uzwaku Tesalonika mu Masedoniya wakeenda andiswe.
3 And the next day we reached Sidon: and Julius, treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends, and to enjoy the benefit of their care.
Mubuzuba butobela twakasika kuchisi cha Sidoni, oko Juliyasi nkwakakujata Pawulo cabuuya alimwi akumuzumizya kuti ayiinke kubenzinyina kuyotambula kubambwa.
4 And weighing anchor thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Kuzwa awo twakaya kulwizi twakuyamba muunsi ankoomwe yaku Sayipulasi, afwifwi akukasuwa, nkambo luuwo lwakalikututonta.
5 And sailing through the sea over against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Nitwakeenda katutimbula lwizi nitwakazoinda ku Silisiya alimwi aku Pamfiliya, twakasika ku Mayila, chisi chaku Lusiya.
6 And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria, bound for italy, put us on board of it.
Nkuko ooko mwendelezi nkwakajana bwaato buzwa ku Alekizandiliya obo bwakalikuya ku Itali. Mpawo watubika mumo.
7 And when we had sailed slowly for several days, and were hardly got over against Cnidus, the wind now permitting us; we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone:
Nitwakali kweenda bunini abunini kwamazuba mayingi, twakazomaninsizya twasika mubuyumuyumu afwifwi a Sinidusi alimwi luuwo telwakazotuzumizya pe kuti twinde nzila eeyo, twakeenda katuyabuya alubazu lwankomwe yaku Kkilete, kumbali lya Salimone.
8 and passing it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called the Fair Havens, in the neighborhood of which, was the city of Lasea.
Twakeenda mumo omo munkomwe mubuyumuyumu, mane twakusika kubusena bumwi butegwa Majulu mabotu, buli afwifwi achisi cha Laseya.
9 And, as much time was spent, and sailing was now hazardous, because the fast was already over, Paul exhorted them,
Twakali twamana chiindi chilamfu, chiindi chakulyiimya kwama Juda achilacho chakali chayinda, alimwi kwakali kwatentuusya lino kweenda. Mpawo Pawulu wakabachenjezya,
10 saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with injury and great damage, not only to the lading and to the ship, but also to our lives.
wati, “nibaluumi, ndibwene kuti lweendo ndutuyanda kubweza lulakulichisa akuswekelwa kupati, pepe zinyampwidwe nikuba bwato luzutu, pesi abuumi bwesu.”
11 But the centurion paid greater regard to the pilot, and the master of the vessel, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
Pesi mwendelezi wakaswilizya kapati kuli sikwenzya bwaato akulimuna bwaato kwinda eezyo zyaakambwa a Pawulu.
12 And as the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence, if they might possibly reach Phenice, to winter there;
Nkambo chito techakali chuubila pe kuti bukkale mpawo chilinu choonse, bamwi bayiingi bakapa muzezo wakuti tweende kuzwa aawa, ambweni dozyakonzeka ngatuyosika kuchisi cha-Foyenikisi, kuti tukakkale chiindi chachilimo nkuko. Foyenikisi nchito cha Kkilete, chilangide koonse kumusaansa akububbila alimwi kumbo -akububbila.
13 which is a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest: and as the south win blew gently, supposing they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor, and sailed on close to Crete.
Eelyo luuwo lwakumusansa nilwakatanguna kuunga kwachumunizi, basibwato bakayeeya mbuli kuti bakali bachijana nchibakalikuyanda. Lino bakanyamuna bbwe lyakwimikizya bwato mpawo beenda kabatobezya Kkilete, afwifwi ankomwe.
14 But not long after, there arose against her a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon.
Pesi nikwakayinda kayindi kanini kwakaza muuwo mupati uutegwa Notisita, wakatanguna kuuma aansi kuzwa kusuwa.
15 And as the ship was violently hurried away, and was not able to bear up against the wind, we gave her up, and were driven.
Eelyo bwaato nibwakajatwa amuuwo mupati zyakukachilwa kuyakunembo muluuwo, twakayinzizya muuwo mupati ooyu mwenya alimwi wakatuchuunda twatobelezya muuwo.
16 An running under a certain island, called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of the boat:
Twakeenda munkomwe munsi akasuwa kanini kategwa Kkawunda, alimwi abuyumuyumu twakazokonzya kusika akaato kakuvunwa.
17 which, when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing, lest they should fall upon the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven.
Eelyo nibakaanga Kaato, bakabelesya minchinda yako mpawo bazojatanisya amwi kubulambo bwabwato. Bakalikuyowa kuti ngabayosisigwa kumuse waku Sayitisi, lino bakalosya minchinda wangidwe bbwe wabwato alimwi bakatontwa kabayabuya.
18 And we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
Twakatamamizigwa mbubobu amuuwo mupati zyakuti buzuba bwakatobela bakatanguna kubwala mpasya mukati mulwizi.
19 and the third day we cast out, with our own hands, the tackling of the ship.
Mubuzuba bwachitaatu bantu bakalimubwato bakabwaala zintu zyakali mubwato amaboko aabo.
20 Now, as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest pressed upon us, all remainder of hope that we might be delivered, was taken away.
Eelyo izuba anyenyezi nizyakatatumunikila kwamazuba mayingi, alimwi muuwo mupati kuchuuma alindiswe, bulangilizi boonse bwakuti twelede kufutulwa bwakamana.
21 And when there was great want of food, then Paul, standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, you ought to have hearkened to me, and not to have loosed from Crete, and incurred this injury and loss.
Nibakeenda kwachiindi chilamfu kabatakwe chakulya pe, eelyo Pawulu wakayimikila akati kabantu wati, “Nobakwesu, mwalelede kunditelela, alimwi temwalelede kwenda kamuzida kuKkilete pe, eezi zyakuti mujane kulichisa alimwi kuswekelwa.
22 Nevertheless, even now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you; but only of the ship.
Lino ndamusimya kuti nywebo mube abusungu, nkaambo takwe nikutabewo pe kuswekelwa buumi akati kanu, pesi biyo kuswekelwa kwabwaato.
23 For there appeared to me this night, an angel of the God whose I am, and whom I worship,
Busiku bwayinda mungeelo wa Leza ooyo ngundili kulinguwe, ooyo alimwi ngundikomba — mungelo wakwe wakaliimvwi aambali lyangu
24 saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be presented before Cesar; and, behold, God has given you all them that sail with you.
alimwi wati, 'Utayoowi, Pawulu, weelede kuyoyimikila kunembo lyaKayisa, alimwi ukabone Leza mubuya mbwakapa kuli nduwe abo boonse balimulwendo anduwe.'
25 Wherefore, take courage, men; for I trust in God that it shall be so, even as it was told me.
Linobu mube abusungu, nobakwesu! Nkaambo ndisyoma Leza kuti chiyochitika mbuli mbuchakaambwa kulindime.
26 But we must be cast upon a certain island.
Pesi twelede kuchijana munyika amutusuwa.'
27 And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were tossed up and down in the Adriatic sea, the mariners suspected, about midnight that they drew near to some land;
Eelyo busiku bwakkumi abwaane nibwakasika, mbuli mbutwali kuchundilwa kulubazu olu alimwi mukati kalwiizi lwa Adiliyatiki, kubanga mpakati kabusiku basilwendo bakayeeya kuti bamba kusika kunyika.
28 and sounding, they found it twenty fathoms: and having gone a little way from thence, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
Bakabeza zipimyo alimwi bakajana kuti maboko ali kkumi amusanu.
29 And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky shore, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished that the day would break.
Bakayoowa kuti ambweni anga tulawuminina amabwe, lino bakawaala mabwe akwimikizya bwaato aanze kuzwa munsi alimwi bakakomba kuti kucha ambweni kulafwambana kusika.
30 But when the mariners endeavored to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretense that they were about to carry out anchors from the ship-head;
Bakali mubwaato bakalikulanga nzila yakusiya bwato alimwi bakalosya kaato kulwizi, alimwi bakabaanga balabwaala mabwe abwaato kuzwa kunembo.
31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these continue in the ship, you can not be saved.
Pesi Pawulu wakati kumwendelezi akuli basilumamba, “kunze akuti baalumi aaba bakkale mubwaato, takwe nimunga mulafutuka pe.”
32 Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let it fall off.
Eelyo basilumamba bakadunsuula minchiinda yakaato alimwi bakaleka kayabuya.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, To-day, whilst waiting for this fourteenth day, you continue fasting, having taken nothing.
Nikwakaamba kucha, Pawulo wakabasungwazya boonse kuti babweze chakulya. Wakamba kuti, “Eli zuba ndyakkumi aane kamuswini kulindilizya kamutakwe chakulya pe — takwe nchimulide pe.
34 I exhort you, therefore, to take a refreshment; for this is conducive to your safety: for not a hair shall fall from the head of any of you.
Eelyo ndamukombelezya kuti mwabane chakulya, nkambo oolu ndulufutuka lwanu. Ko takukwe anaba umwi akati kanu utaswekelwe inzeeta imwi yasusu kuzwa kumutwe wakwe.”
35 And when he had spoke thus, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God, before them all; and having broken it, he began to eat.
Naakamana kwaamba eezi, wakabweza chinkwa alimwi walumba Leza mumeso aboonse. Eelyo wakakwamuna chinkwa alimwi watalika kulya.
36 And being all encouraged, they also took some food.
Eelyo bakasungwazigwa boonse mpawo abalabo bakabweza chakulya.
37 And we were in the ship, in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
Twakali myaanda ibili ilamakkumi musanu aabili amusanu awumwi myuuya yakali mubwaato.
38 And being satisfied with food, they lightened the ship; and cast the corn into the sea.
Nibakalya achakwelela, bakachita kuti bwaato buubilwe akubwaala mayila mulwizi.
39 And when it was day, they did not know the land: but they perceived a certain creek, with a shore, into which they determined, if they were able, to force the ship.
Nikwakaba buunsi, tebakibonape nyika, pesi bakabona tyebe lilankomwe, alimwi bakayowesya kuti anga balayinzya bwaato na ataala.
40 And having cut off the anchors, leaving them in the sea, they, at the same time, loosing the rudder bands, and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, pressed toward the shore.
Mpawo bakanenga zyatendela zijazyo alimwi bakasiya mukati kalwizi. Muchindi chimwi biyo eecho bakangununa minchiinda yazitabilisyo kuluuwo; alimwi bakayinka kunkomwe.
41 But falling on a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground, and the fore part stuck fast, and remained immovable, while the hinder part was broken by the force of the waves.
Pesi bwaato bwakajimpa aansi mpawo bweenda anyika. Chakumpela chabwato chakapatila alimwi chachaala kachitanyamuki pe, alimwi chaansi chakatyolwa anguzu zyamayuwe.
42 And the counsel of the soldiers was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim away, and escape.
Mabaambe abasilumaamba akali kujaya baange kuchitila kuti kutabi naba omwe uunga ulayamba mpawo achije.
43 But the centurion, being desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and commanded those that could swim, to throw themselves out first, into the sea, and get away to land:
Pesi mweendelezi wakalikuyanda kufutula Pawulo, mpawo wakayimikizya mabambe aabo; alimwi wakalayilila aabo bakalikukonzya kuyamba kuti basotokele kuunze alimwi basike anyika.
44 and the remainder, some upon planks, and others upon some of the things of the ship. And so it happened that they all got safe to land.
Eelyo boonse baalumi beelede kutobela, bamwi ajulu azimwi zintu zyakali mubwato. Munzila eeyi zyakachitika kuti toonse tusike obotu anyika.
