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.
Bu dizengo ti tufueti kuendila mu masuwa ku Itali, buna bayekula Polo ayi basi nloko bankaka mu mioko mi nkulutu wumosi wu masodi dizina diandi Yuliusi, wuba mu dikabu di masodi ma ntinu.
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.
Tukota mu masuwa mamosi ma Adilamite; mafueti kuenda mu bisalu bidi muyendila tsi Azi ayi tuyenda kueto. Alisitalike, muisi Maseduani divula diba mu Tesalonika, wuyenda yeto.
3 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Mu lumbu kilanda, tutula ku Sidoni. Yuliusi wuvangila Polo mamboti; wumvana misua mu kuenda kuidi bakundi bandi muingi bamvana lusadusu.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Bu tubotuka kuna, tuyenda muyendila Sipeli mu diambu di tina phemo yingolo yiba kutuvutulanga ku mbusa.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Bu tumana sabuka mbu; muyendila Silisi ayi Pamfili, tutula ku Mila mu zunga ki Lisi.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Kuna nkulutu wu masodi kamonina masuwa ma Alekisandiya maba kuendaku Itali, muawu katukotisa.
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.
Masuwa maba ndiata malembe mu bilumbu biwombo ayi mu phasitutudila ku Kinide. Vayi phemo yitumonisa phasi mu diata; diawu tuyenda muyendila Kelete kitalana ayi Salimone.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Bu tukisabukila mu phasi, tutula ku buangu kimosi bantedilanga “Bisabu bimboti” ku ndambu kuba divula di Laze.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
Thangu yiwombo bu yikiviokila ayi sumbu tsisi yitona monika mu diatila mu masuwa bila thangu yi fuila nzala mu diambu di lusambulu bu yikiviokila; diawu Polo kaba lubudila ti:
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."
—A bakhomba, ndimona ti nzietolo mu masuwa yeka ba yi tsisi, ayi bima biwombo biela bungana; bika sia ti mu mimfuna kaka ayi masuwa vayi ayi mu luzingu lueto veka.
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.
Vayi nkulutu wu masodi wuluta wilukila mambu ma mutu wunata masuwaayi ma mutu wowo wuvua mawu, bika mambu momo matuba Polo.
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.
Ayi sumbu sabu beni kisi ba kimboti ko, mu viokisila tsungi yi kiozi kingolo, buna batu bawombo baba muna masuwa baba mayindu mu botuka kuna mu diambu di enati baka bubela mu tula ku Fenisi, sabu kidi ku Kelete mu diambu di viokisila tsungi yi kiozi kingolo. Sabu beni kitalani ayi Sude-wesite ayi Node-weste.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Sumbu phemo yitotukila ku Sude, yivevumuka mu malembi, buna batu baba mu masuwa babanzila ti balenda vanga mambu momo bakana, buna batapula sengo kieti tedimisa masuwa, bayenda muyendila Kelete.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
Vayi vuanda fioti, vuka kitedolongo “phemo yi Awulosilidoni” yitotuka ku sanga.
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
Masuwa manatu kuidi phemo, masia nunga phemo ko, buna tutumbu bika tunatu, ayi tuvevumunu.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Tuvioka nsualu muyendila sanga kimosi kifioti, beti tedila Kloda. Phasi tumona mu ludika, bumboti nlungu wu masuwa.
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.
Buna bamana tuta nlungu wu masuwa babonga minsinga minneni mibakangila nlungu mu masuwa. Bu bamona tsisi yi kandana mu nzielo yi Silite, diawu bakulula zivuali zi masuwa. Buawu bobo masuwa mavevumununu.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Sumbu tubetolo ngolo khuba kuidi vuka, mu lumbu kilandabaloza ndambu yi mimfuna.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
Mu lumbu kintatu baloza bisadulu bi masuwa.
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.
Ayi sumbu tusia mona ko thangu voti zimbuetete ko mu bilumbu biwombo ayi vuka kingolo bu kituyamisa, buna tutumbu sakula diana di buela vuka.
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.
Bilumbu biwombo bu bivioka mu kambu buela dia, Polo wutelama va khatitsikꞌawu ayi wutuba: —A beno bakhomba, nganu lunguila mu kambu botuka ku Kelete ayi nganu tusia mona ko mabienga mama ayi nganu bima bioso bisi bungana ko.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Vayi ndikululeba buabu mu diambu di ba bukhafi bila kadi mutu wumosi mu beno lulendi fua ko vayi masuwa mawu kaka mambungana.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Bila va bedingi va builu mbasi Nzambi, yoyi yiphuidi ayi ndietisadila, wiza kumbonikina
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
ayi wukhembi: “A Polo kadi mona boma bila fueti kaka samba va ntuala Sezali ayi tala Nzambi wuveni batu boso badi yaku mu masuwa.”
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Diawu bakhomba, bika luba bukhafi bila ndinwilukila Nzambi ayi nzebi ti mafueti vangama boso bu kakhambidi.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island."
Vayi tufueti kangama va sanga kimosi!
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.
Buna mu builu bu lumbu ki kumi kinya, sumbu tuba vevumunu kuidivuka mbu wu Andiliyatiki, batu baba salanga mu masuwa babanzila ti bafikimini ayi disimu dimosi.
28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Bu batibula sengo mu diambu di tala thipula yi nlangu, buna bamona makumatatu ayi tsambuadi di zimetele. Buela diata fioti babuela tibula sengu bamona yeka makumuadi ayi nana di zimetele.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Bu bamona boma tala tuedi kangama mu matadi, batumbu tibulabisengo biya biobi bieti telimisa masuwa ayi bazola ti buisi buvika kia.
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,
Sumbu batu bobo beti sadila mu masuwa baba mayindu ma tina mu masuwa; diawu bakuludila nlungu wu masuwa mu mbu mu vunikisa kuenda tibula bisengo biobi bieti tedimisa masuwa ku ntuala.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
Vayi Polo wukamba nkulutu wu masodi ayi masodi: —Enati batu bobo bakadi vuanda mu masuwa, buna lulendi vuka ko!
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Buna masodi matabula minsinga mi buatu bosi badodula buawu mu mbu.
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.
Bu bavingila buisi bukia Polo wuleba batu boso badia, wuba kamba: —Tona lutona vingila, kiawu kiaki lumbu ki kumi kinya lueka mu kambu dia.
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."
Vayi ndikululomba ludia bila bidia mfunu bidi mu diambu di vukisa zinitu zieno. Bikanu mona boma bila kadi mutu wumosi buna luidimakazimbisa lusuki lumosi lu ntuꞌandi.
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.
Buna kamana tuba bobo, wubonga dipha; wuvutudila Nzambi matondo va meso ma bawu boso; wubukuna diawu ayi wutona dia.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Buna bukhafi buvutuka mu bawu boso, mamvawu batona dia.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Tuba nduka-nduka zinkama zizole ayi lusambuadi lu batu ayi batu basambanu muna masuwa.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Buna bamana yukuta, batatamana loza mu nbu ndambu yi bidia bi ble bisiala.
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.
Buisi bu bukia, basia bakula ko kuevi kuidi disimu; vayi bamona vama vaba nlangu ayi nzielo. Baba mayindu mu nata vana masuwa.
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.
Banianguna minsinga mi bisengo bieta tedimisa masuwa, balozamiawu mu nbu. Bosi banianguna minsinga mi bisengo bieta diatisa masuwa, bakumisa kapu ku ntuala masuwa muingi masuwa menda ku disimu.
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.
Vayi masuwa bu mabumina nzielo yidi va khati mbu, buna makandana. Ntu wu masuwa wukuikama muna nzielo vayi kimbusa kieka nikunu kuidi vuka ki phemo; mbadi kitona zengana.
42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Masodi maba lukanu luvonda batu bobo ba nloko muingi wumosi kabika siuka ayi tina.
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;
Vayi pfumu masodi wuzola vukisa Polo, wuba kandika mu bika dukisa lukanu luawu. Wuvana lutumunu kuidi batu bobo bazaba siuka bafudama batheti mu nlangu muingi benda ku disimu;
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.
bosi kuidi bobo bankaka, basimbidila bitini bi mabaya votibitsiadisila bi masuwa. Buawu bobo batu boso batudila banvimba ku disimu.
