< 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.
Ie linily te hiondrañe an-dakañe mb’e Italia mb’eo, le nasese ami’ ty mpifehe zato atao Jolio, firimboña’ Aogosto t’i Paoly naho ty mpirohy ila’e.
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.
Nijon-daka’ i Adramitiome zahay, ie homb’ an-tane añolo’ i Asia añe, le nionjoñe mb’eo rekets’ i Aristarko, nte Makedonia hirik’e Tesalonika.
3 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Ie nidosy e Sidona amy loak’ àndroy, le nitretreze’ i Jolio t’i Paoly vaho nenga’e homb’ amo rañe’eo mb’eo hatraheñe.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Ie nijon-dakañe boak’ ao le nanehake mb’ atimo’ i Kiprosy amy te niatre tioke.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Le ni­tsake i riakey nañolotse i Kilkia naho i Pamfilia vaho nipok’e Maira-Likia ao.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Teo ty nanjoa’ i mpifehe zatoy ty laka’ i Aleksandria hiondrañe mb’e Italia añe, vaho nampijoñe’e ama’e zahay.
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.
Ie nizenjèñe ey avao andro maro le tsy nimora ty niharinea’ay i Kinido fa tsy nimete i tiokey, le niary ambane’ i Kreta tandrife i Salmona,
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
naho nifanehake mafe nañolotse vaho nipok’ an-toetse atao Fipaliran-tsoa, marine’ ty rova atao Lasea.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
Ie tambatse eo andro maro, mbore niharaty ty fijoñañe fa añe i Fililirañey, le hoe ty hatahata’ i Paoly:
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."
O ‘ndatireo, apotako te ho liàm-baràta an-joy naho fianto itoy, tsy o kilankañeo naho i lakañey avao, fa o fiain-tikañeo.
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.
Fe niantoke i kapiteniy mandikoatse ty saontsi’ i Paoly i mpifehe zatoy naho i tompo’ i lakañeiy.
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.
Aa kanao tsy soa fitofàñe ami’ty asotry i fipalirañey, le nilahatse hanonjohy i liay i màroy, hera mete ho takareñe ty Foiniksa, fipalira’ i Kreta, hiasotry añe, ie ankalo’ o tiok’ atimo-ahandrefa naho avarats’ ahandrefa.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Ie nitiotioke boak’ atimo, natao’ iareo t’ie i tamañey, le naonjoñe i vato-fatsikey, vaho nañolotse marine’ i Kreta.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
Tsy tampetampetse izay, kinabokabo’ ty tio bey nizotso boak’ amy tokonosey, ty rivo-doza atao faok’ atiñana,
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
le tsinepa’e i lakañey, ie tsy nahasoroke i tiokey fa nadoñe haronje’e avao.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Ie nioza añ’ alo’ ty tokonose atao Klaoda, le nifanehafe’ay ty hitam­bozòtse i lakan-dozay.
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.
Aa ie tafa-onjoñe, le vinandibanditse taly i lakam-beiy hamihiñe aze, amy te nihakahakaeñe ke hivariñe mb’ am-pasen-kevo ao, naho nazotso o laio vaho napoke hisiotsiotse mb’eo.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Ie loho navoamboa’ i faokey te loak’andro, le namototse nañary kilankañe iereo.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
Amy andro faha­teloy ka navokovoko’ iereo am-pitàñe ty harao’ i lakañey.
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.
Ie andro maro tsy niboak’ i àndroy ndra o vasiañeo, naho tsy atao tio-kede ty nikobokoboke, le ndra loli’e ty fisalala’ay te ho rombake.
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.
Ie songa nifeake tsy aman-kane, le niongak’ añivo’ iereo t’i Paoly nanao ty hoe: Ry ondaty reo, ho nisoa naho nihaoñe’ areo i tarokoy, te tsy ho vinotsotse ty Kreta, vaho tsy ho nizo ty fijoy naho fianto toy.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
F’ie henaneo, osiheko hirearea amy te tsy ama’ areo ty ho motso fiaiñe, fa ty lakañe toy avao.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Toe nijohañe añilako eo aniankale i anjelin’ Añahare mpametrek’ ahy naho itoroñakoy,
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
nanao ty hoe: Ko hembañe Paoly, amy te tsi-mahay tsy hatrefe’o t’i Kaisara, vaho ingo, tinolon’ Añahare azo o mindre lia ama’o iabio.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Aa le manintsiña, ry ondatio, fa atokisako t’i Andria­nañahare te ho zoeñe do’e amy tsinara amakoy.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island."
Ie amy zao, tsi-mete tsy hitoañe an-tokonose tika.
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.
Aa ie amy haleñe fahafolo-efats’ ambiy, le nasiotsiotse an-driak’ Adria ey avao, le amy ante­tsaleñey, natao’ o mpiandakañeo t’ie nañarine tane.
28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Nitsoke iereo, le nanjo roapolo tratra; niveve kedekedeke le nitsoke indraike, nanjo folo lim’ amby tratra.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Aa ie nihembañe te hidasiñe am-bato, le nanjotso vato-fatsike efatse amboho’ i lakañey, vaho nisalala ty manjirik’ andro.
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,
Ie nimane hipotitsike amy lakañey o mpiandriakeo, naho fa nazotso’ iareo an-driak’ ao i ana-dakañey vaho nanao sare hampijoñe vato-fatsike antondoha’e ao,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
le hoe t’i Paoly amy mpifehe zatoy naho amo lahin-defoñeo: Naho tsy midoñe an-dakañe atoy iereo, le tsy ho rombaheñe ka nahareo.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Aa le pinoto’ o lahin-defoñeo ty tali’ i anan-dakañey vaho napoke hihintsañe añe.
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.
Ie nangarañe i àndroy le songa nosihe’ i Paoly ondatio hikama, ami’ty hoe: Fa nifeake naho nitolom-pililitse andro folo-efats’ amby tika, tsy nitendre inoñ’ inoñe.
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."
Aa le iboliboliako hikama fa rombak’ay toy, amy te leo raik’ ama’ areo tsy ho po-maròy raike ty añambone’e.
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.
Ie nanao izay, le nandrambe mofo, nañandriañe an’ Andrianañahare añatrefa’ iareo iaby, naho finola’e vaho nikama.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Hene nazava-troke vaho nangalake mahakama;
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
aa ie natontoñe le roanjato-tsi-fitom-polo-eneñ’ amby ro amy lakañey.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Ie niànjañe, le nampaivañe’ iereo i lakañey am-pañariañe i tsakoy an-driak’ ao.
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.
Ie nazava i àndroy, nialik’ am’ iereo i taney, f’ie nahatalake vinañe naho faseñe añ’olots’ey ze mete’ i lakañey hitoañeñe.
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.
Aa le nampipitsoheñ’ añe o vato-fatsikeo, naho napok’ an-driak’ ao, naho binatsa’ iareo o talim-panehafan-dakañeo, naho naonjoñe amy tiokey ty lai-aolo, vaho nigodañe mb’ añ’ olotse ey.
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.
Fe nidoñe am-pifanampean-driake roe eo i lakañey, le nidevoke naho nijihetse am-paseñe ao ty loha’e, tsy nitroetroe, vaho dinorodemo’ ty fivalitaboa’ o onjao i voli’ey.
42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Fisafirie’ o lahin-defoñeo ty hanjamañe o mpirohio kera hilaño vaho hibotitsike.
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;
Fe te handrombake i Paoly i mpifehe zatoy, le tsy nimea’e henefeñe i kililiy, vaho linili’e te hijoñe an-drano aolo ze nahay nilaño, hita­kare’e i taney.
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.
Nandrambe varamba o ila’eo naho potepoten-dakañe ka ty ila’e vaho songa ni-tra-drombak’ an-tamboho eo.
