Acts 27
1 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
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 Embarking in a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
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 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
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 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Rji niki, ki hon tu ma ndi zren ni suka wu Cyprus, whewhire ni nklan memea, nitu kikle ngyungyu ata gbita.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city 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 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Niki, soja wu yaba, a to jirgi wa a rji ni Alexandria nda ni dran hini Itali. A vuta sru nimi.
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite 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 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
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 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
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 and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."
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 heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
I Centurion a yo ton ni tiko mba indji wu jirgia zan kpi wa Bulus a hla a.
12 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.
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 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
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 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
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 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
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 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure 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 After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
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 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Kikle ngyungyu a tsi ta tiya nda duta nivi huka hua, ki ri vuu kpi nimi jirgia ni sru nimi mma.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
Nivi u tra bi tindu mi jirgi ba vu kpi ndu mba vra hle nimi mma ni womba.
20 When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
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 When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
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 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only 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 there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the 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. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail 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 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just 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 But we must run aground on a certain island."
I ki zi hle ni nklan meme ri.”
27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
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 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and 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 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
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 As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
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, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot 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 away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Niki sojoji ba ba sren rjiri wu tsitsa jirgia nda duu zren hi.
33 While the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and 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 Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
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 When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and 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 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Niki wawumba ba kri ti gbengblen sron nda ban biri rhi ngame.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Kina vri indji 276 (deri ha ni sabain don tanne) ni mi jirgia.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out 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 When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
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 Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
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 But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up 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 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Sojoi ba ba wa nkon wu wuu bi mitro ba nitu du rimba na dran hi nda nawo na.
43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward 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 should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely 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.
