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.
Mpokwalasuminishiweti twenga ku Italiya mubwato, Paulo pamo ne bakaili nabambi balabikwa mumakasa amukulene wa bashilikali mwanda lina lyakendi Juliyasi, wamulikoto lyalikukwiweti, “Bashilikali ba Mwami waku Loma.”
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.
Twalatanta bwato bwalafumina ku Adilamitayo bwalikuya ku bito bya mucishi ca Asiya. Twalikuba pamo ne Alisitako walafuma ku Tesalonika mu cimpansha ca Makedoniya.
3 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Busuba bwalakonkapo, twalashika ku Sidoni. Juliyasi walamunyumfwila nkumbo Paulo, walamusuminisha kuya kubona banendi kwambeti, bamupengonga bintu bilayandikinga palyendiye.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Mpotwalafuma uko, kayi pacebo cacipupu calikubako, twalapitila kwalikubula cipupu kunsa kwansumbu ya Saipulasi.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Lino panyuma pa kwenda mumbali mulwenje pepi ne cishi ca Kilikiya ne Pamfuliya, twalashika ku munshi wa Mula mucishi ca Lukiya.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Uko mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, nkwalacana bwato bunene bwalikufuma ku Alekisandiliya bwalikuya ku Italiya, emwalatutantika.
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.
Twalikwenda pang'anapang'ana kwa masuba angi mwakupenga penga kwambeti tushike pepi ne munshi wa Sinido. Lino mpotwalaboneti lukupwe lunene lulafumunga nkotwalikuya, twalalilwa kwenda. Twalapita kulubasu nkotwalashinkililwako ne nsumbu ya Kelete, yalangana ne Salimoni.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Twalenda mwa kupengapenga mu mbali mwa nsumbu, mpaka twalashika pamusena walikukwiweti “Bito Byaina,” Pepi ne munshi wa Laseya.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
Twalataya cindi citali mu bulwendo, cakwinseti busuba bwa kulikanisha kulya bwalikuba bulapiti kendi. Cindico calaboneketi nitukumane ne bintu biyosha mu bulwendo bwetu. Neco Paulo walabacenjesheti,
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."
“Mobaname, ame ndabonongeti kufuma pano bulwendo bwetu bwakuya kuntangu nitukumane ne bintu biyosha. Bintu bingi nibyonongeke ne kutaika, ntebyo bintu byonka ne bwato sobwe, nsombi ne buyumi bwetu.”
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.
Nomba nendi mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, walanyumfwila mukulene wa basebenshi ba bwato ne mwine bwato, kupita maswi ngalamba 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.
Cito ico nkacalikuba caina kwikalapo cindi ca mupewo. Neco bantu bangi balayeya kufumapo pacito ico, ne kuya pantanguko kwambeti mpani ngabashika kucito ca Foinike, ne kwikalako pa cindico. Cito ici ciliku Kelete, calangila kumusansa cakumbonshi kayi ne kunyika cakumbonshi.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Popelapo cipupu cabomba calafumina kumusansa, calatatika kupupula, neco bantu balayeyeti bapitilishe bulwendo bwabo mpaka kuya kushika ku Foinike. Balacikwela cinshimbi cinene cishikwimanika bwato, ne kutatika kwendela mu mbali mwakuma nsumbu ya Kelete.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
Nsombi paliya kupita cindi citali sobwe, lukupwe lwalikukwiweti, “Lukupwe lwa kunyika ca kucwe” Lwalikufumina pansumbu lwalakonempa cangofu.
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
Ulu lukupwe lwalesa kuma ku bwato cakwinseti calala kuya kwalikufumina lukupwe. Neco twalabuleka kabuya kunyakwa ne lukupwe.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Twaleshikilwako ne nsumbu ing'ana ya Kauda, mpotwalenda ku lubasu lwa kumusansa. Kopeloko mukupenga penga, twalacikonsha kukwabilila kabwato kang'ana kali kukwelwa ne bwato bunene.
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.
Kabwato kang'ana balakakwelela mubwato bunene. Balasunga ntambo bwato bunene kwambeti kabuta pausuka. Balikutineti mpani ngabuya buma pa museya waku Siriti mu mbali mwacishi ca Libya. Neco balalasha byombesho bya mu bwato ne kubuleka kabuya kuselaukowa ne lukupwe.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Twalasunkanwa ne lukupwe lwangofu lwalapitilisha kupupula. Mpobwalaca, balatatika kufunya bintu mbyebalikuba bamanta ne kubiwala mulwenje.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
Pabusuba bwatutatu, balawala mu menshi nabimbi byombesho bya mu bwato.
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.
Kwa masuba angi nkatwalikulibona lisuba nambi nyenyenshi. Lukupwe lwalapitilisha kupupula cangofu, cakwinseti kupembelela sha kupuluka nkotwalikukute kwalapwa.
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.
Bantu mpobalekala masuba angi kwakubula kulya cakulya, Paulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti, “Mobanse bame, nshinga ne mwalanyumfwa maswi ngondalambeti katutafuma pa Kelete, ne tulabulu kutaikilwa bintu bingi cisa.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Nikukabeco ndamusengengeti muyumishe myoyo, paliya muntu naba umo eshafwe, bwato bonka bweti bonongeke.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Ndicinshici, pakwinga lelo mashiku, mungelo wa Lesa uyo kayi e Mwami wakame ngonkute kukambilila langa lesa kuli njame,
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
lambeti, ‘Kotatina Paulo! Ulenga kwimana pamenso pa Mwami waku Loma. Lesa munkumbo shakendi elashomesheti nupuluke, pamo ne bantu bonse mbolinabo mu bulwendobu.’
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Neco mobanse bame, yumishani myoyo pakwinga ndashometi byonse nibinshike mbuli ncalamba mungelo wa Lesa.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island."
Nikukabeco nituye tucinke pansumbu njotuteshi.”
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.
Mashiku abusuba mbotwalakwanisha nsondo shibili kufumina mpolwalatatika lukupwe lwacipupu, twalikatuya kwempauka ne lukupwe palwenje lwa Medeteleniya. Pakati pa mashiku basebenshi ba mu bwato bunene balikuyeyeti tuli pepi ne kumutunta.
28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Popelapo balalasha lutambo mu menshi lwalikuba lwasungwako cinshimbi kwakumako, kwambeti babone na nipatali aconi kuya panshi mu menshi apo mpobalikuba. Balacaneti palikuba ntamwa makumi ana kuya panshi. Mpobalendako pang'ana kayi balapima, balacaneti pali ntamwa makumi atatu.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Apa balatineti bwato bunene ngabuya buma pamabwe. Neco balalasha binshimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato bina byalikuba byasungwa kunyuma kwa bwato, balatatika kupaileti kabuca bwangu.
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,
Basebenshi ba mu bwato balikuyanda kuloboka. Neco balaselusha kabwato kang'ana mu menshi, kababoneketi balabikinga binshimbi bishikwimanika bwato bunene, byalikuba byasungwa kuntangu kwa bwato.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
Mwabwangu bwangu, Paulo walambila mukulene wabashilikali mwanda, ne bashilikali nabambi mbobalikuba nabo pamo kwambeti, “Na basebenshi ba mu bwato muno bafumemo, nteti mupulukepo sobwe.”
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Popelapo bashilikali balatimbula ntambo shalikuba shasungwako kabwato ako ne kukaleka kakaya kusela pamenshi.
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.
Kabutana buca, Paulo walabasenga bonse kwambeti balye cakulya. Walabambileti, “Alakwana masuba likumi ne ana, mwapembelelangowa kwakubula kulya kantu kalikonse.
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."
Lino ndamusengengeti kamulyani cakulya kwambeti mube ne ngofu sha kupuluka, nteti mulilingepo sobwe.”
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.
Mpwalapwisha kwamba Paulo walamanta shinkwa walatembaula Lesa pamenso abantu, walakomonako walalya.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Popelapo bonse balaliyuminisha myoyo balatatika kulya.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Twense twalikuba mu bwatomo twalikuba myanda ibili, ne makumi asanu ne abili, ne bantu basanu ne umo.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Bonse mpobalekuta, balawala bifunta bya museke mu menshi byalikuba bilashala mu bwato kwambeti bupubeko.
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.
Mumene mpobwalaca, basebenshi bamubwato bunene balabona mutunta nomba baliya kuwinshiba. Mpobalabona cisapa camuseya balayeyeti benga bemanike bwato popelapo na kacikonsheka.
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.
Balatimbula ntambo shekata bishimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato, ne kubilekela mu menshi, kayi balasungulula ntambo kwalikuba kwasungililwa bitondo byakunyonena bwato. Balakweleka cikwisa cishi kwikata lukupwe calikuba kuntangu kwa bwato kwambeti lukupwe lubatwalanyenga kuntangu. Neco twalabukuba ne kuya ku cisapa.
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.
Nomba bwato bwalakacinka pa museya walikuba mu menshi, popelapo bwalemana. Cimpansha cakuntangu calakapatila mu museya calala kucendesha. Calo cimpansha cakunyuma calapasauka ne mankape alikwisa cangofu.
42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Pacindici bashilikali balapanganeti bashine bakaili bonse, kwambeti kapataba naba umo eshasambe nyambwe kutampukila kutala ne kuloboka.
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;
Mukulene wabashilikali mwanda walikuyanda kupulushako Paulo. Pacebo ico walabakanisha ncebalikuyanda kwinsa. Lino walambila bakaili bonse bacinshi kusamba nyambwe kwambeti batangune kuliwala pamenshi benga kutala.
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.
Panyuma pakendi walambila nabambi bonseti baliwale pamenshi, kabali bekatilila ku mapulanga ne bintu nabimbi byalapasauka ku bwato. Umu emotwalatampukila ku mutunta ne kupuluka kwakubula kulilinga.
