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.
Paiamuliwe panga tupalikwa tunasafiri kwa mase kuyenda Italia, watimkabidhi Paulo na afungwa benge kwa afisa yumo wa jeshi lya Kiroma ywakemelwa Julio, wa Kikosi cha Agustani.
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.
Tukapanda meli boka Adrmitamu, ambayo ibile itisafiri kandokando ya pwani ya Asia. Nga nyo tujingii mubahari. Aristaka boka Thesalonike ya Makedonia kayenda pamope natwee.
3 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Lisoba lya nyaibele tuikite katika mji wa Sidoni, ambapo Julio atimpangia kwa ukarimu na atibaruhusu kuyenda kwa rafiki zake kupokya ukarimu wabe.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Boka po twayenda mu'bahari tukasafiri kuzunguka kisiwa cha Kipto ambacho kibile kimeukinga mbepo, kwa mana mbepo ubile ukitukabili.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Baada ya kuwa tumesafiri katika mase yabile papipi na Kilikia na Pamfilia, twaisa Mira, mji wa Lisia.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Palo yolo afisa wa jeshi lya Kiroma, akaikuta meli boka Alexandria ambayo ibile itisafiri kuelekea Italia. Akatupandisha ndani yake.
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.
Baada ya kusafiri mbolembole kwa masoba ganyansima na hatimaye tuikite kwa taabu karibu na Kinidas, mbepo waruhusu kwaa kae kuelekea ndela yoo, nga nyoo tukasafiri kandokando ya kivuli cha Krete tukiukenga mbepo, mkabala na Salmone.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Twatisafiri kandokando ya pwani kwa ugumu, mpaka tuikite mahali pakemelwa Fari Haveni ambayo ibile papipi na mji wa Lasi.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
Tutweti muda mwingi muno, na muda wa mfungo wa Ayahudi ubile umepita pia, nambeambe ibile ni hatari kuyendelea kusafiri. Nga nyo Paulo atitukanikiya,
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."
no baya, “Alalome nibweni safari ambayo twapala kuitola ywalowa kuwa na madhara na hasara yanyansima, ni kwamizigo kichake kwaa na meli, lakini pia maisha yitu.”
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.
Lakini afisa yumo wa jeshi la Kiroma atimpekaniya muno ngwana wake na mmiliki wa meli, kuliko makowe ambayo galongelwa na Paulo.
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.
Kwa sababu bandari ibile kwaa sehemu rahisi tama kipindi sa mbepo, mabaharia banyansima batisauri tusafiri boka palo, ili kwa namna yoyote tukiweza kuika mji wa Foinike, tutame palo kipindi sa mbepo, Foinike ni bandari kolyo Krete, na itilinga kaskazini na kusini mashariki.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Mbepo ya kusini pautumbwile kuvuma mbolembole, mabaharia bapatike chelo ambacho babile bakihitaji. Bating'oa nanga na kusafiri kandokando ya Krete papipi na pwani.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
Lakini baada ya muda mwipi mbepo nkali, waukemelwa wa kaskazini mashariki, utumbwile kutukombwa boka ng'ambo ya kisiwa.
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
Muda meli yatilemewa na kushindwa kuikabili mbepo, twatikubaliana na hali yee, tukasafiri nao.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Tukabutuka pitya wolo upande ubile utiukenga mbepo wa kisiwa kikemelwa Kauda; na kwa taabu muno twatifanikiwa kuuokoa mtumbwi.
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.
Baada ya kuwa tumeivuta, balitumia kamba kuifunga meli. Batiyogopa panga tungeweza kuyenda katika eneo lya mchanga wanyansima wa Syiti, nga nyo batiulua nanga na batiendeshwa kandokando.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Tukombwile kwa nguvu muno na dhoruba, nga nyo lisoba lyanyaibele mabaharia batumbwile kutupa miziogo boka mu'meli.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
Lisoba lya tatu, mabaharia batumbwile kuyatoa mase kwa maboko gabe bene.
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.
Muda ambao liumu na ndondwa yatuangazia kwaa masoba ganyansima, bado dhoruba ngolo itukombwile, na matumaini panga twalowa lopolelwa yatiboka.
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.
Baada ya kuwa batiyenda muda mrefu bila chakulya, nga Paulo ayemi katikati ya mabaharia kabaya, “Alalome, mpalikwa kunipekaniya, na kana tuiboite nanga boka Krete, ili kupata madhara aga na hasara.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Nambeambe naafariji panga mube na mwoyo, kwa sababu pabile kwaa na upotevu wa maisha kati yinu, ila hasara ya meli.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Kwa mana kilo chakipitike malaika wa Nnongo, ambaye yolo Nnongo nenga ni wake, na ambaye namwabudia kae-malaika bake ayemi pembeni yango
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
no baya, “Kana uyogope Paulo. Lazima uyemi nnongi ya Kaisari, linga, Nnongo katika wema wake akupeile aba bote ambao wasafiri pamope nawenga.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Nga nyo, alalome, mujipe mwoyo, kwa sababu namwaminiya Nnongo, panga ipalika kati yaanibakiye.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island."
Lakini lazima tuumie kwa kukombwa katika baadhi ya visiwa.”
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.
Pauikite kilo ya komi na ncheche, patubile tukiyendeshwa kolyo na kolyo mu'bahari ya Adratik, kati kilo ya manane nyoo, mabaharia batifikiri panga batikaribia nchi kavu.
28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Balitumia milio kupima kina cha mase na kupata mita thelathini na sita, baada ya muda mwipi bapema bapatike mita ishirini na saba.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Batiyogopa kwanza twaweza kugonga miamba, nha nyo bakaulua nanga ncheche boka katika sehemu ya kuwekea nanga no kuloba panga bwamba uise mapema.
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,
Balo mabaharia batiipala namna ya kuitelekeza yelo meli na balizishusha majini boti njunu na kulopwa maisha, na bapangite kuwa wanatupa nanga boka sehemu ya nnongi ya boti.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
Lakini Paulo kambakiya yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma na balo askari, “Muweza kwaa kuilopwa ila aba bandu babakia mu'meli.”
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Boka po balo askari bakatike kamba na yelo boti ilekitwe itolwe na mase.
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.
Muda mwanga wa bwamba paubile utijitokeza, Paulo atibasihi bote angalau balyee kisunu. Kabaya, “Ayee nga lisoba lya komi na ncheche mwalenda bila kulyaa, mwalyaa kwaa kilebe.
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."
Nga nyo nawasihi mtole chakulya kisunu, kwa sababu yee ni kwaajili ya tama kwinu; na ntopo hata nywili yimo ya ntwe winu yalowa potea.
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.
Paayomwile baya nyoo, atitola mkate na kumshukuru Nnongo nnongi ya minyo ga kila mundu. Boka po kaetekwana mkate no tumbwa lyaa.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Boka po bote batiwa mwoyo na bembe batola chakulya.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Tubile bandu 276 nkati ya meli.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Paayomwile lyaa pakayukwita, baipangite meli nyepesi kwa kutupa ngano nkati ya mase.
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.
Paibile mutwekati, paibweni kwaa nchi kavu, lakini babweni sehemu ya nchi kavu yaijingya mumase yaibile na mchanga wanyansima. batilongela kati baweza kuiendesha meli kuelekea palo.
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.
Nga nyoo batizilegeza nanga bazilekite mumase. Katika muda wowolo batizilegeza kamba za tanga na kuiinua sehemu ya nnongi kuelekea katika mbepo, nga nyo batielekea katika iyo sehemu yabile na mchanga wanyansima.
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.
Lakini baisile mahali ambapo mikondo ibele ya mase itikwembana, na meli ikaelekya mchangani. Na yelo sehemu ya nnongi ikakwama palo na iweza kwaa boka, lakini sehemu ya mbele uya meli itumbwile kutekwanika kwa sababu ya ukale wa mawimbi.
42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Mpango wa balo askari ubile ni kuwabulaga wafungwa, ili panga ntopo ywaweza ogelea na kutoroka.
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;
Lakini yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma apala kumwokoa Paulo, nga nyo akausimamisha mpango wabe; na akaamuru balo ambao baweza kuogelea baruke boka melini kwanza bayende nchi kavu.
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.
Boka po alalome benge balowa kunkengama, benge nnani ya ipande ya mbao na benge nnani ya ilebe yenge boka mu'meli. Kwa ndela yee ipangike panga bote twalowa ika salama nchi kavu.
