Acts 27
1 Now, when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul, and certain other prisoners, unto a centurion by name Julius, of an Augustan band.
Italia mlawng am ceh vai ami mkhyah law ja Pawluh ja thawng kyum avange cun Julijah ngmingnaki, Romah yekap üngka ngvai üng a jah mhjum, “Acun cun sangpuxang yekappä ngvai ami ti.”
2 And, going on board a ship of Adramittium, about to sail unto the places along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, there being with us, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica;
Adramutiha mlawng üngka naw, Asah hne üngka tui pei üngkhyüh ngtünei lü athuknaka kami ciki. Maketawnih hnea ka Aristakhas, Thesalonikah mlüh üngka kami hlawnga veki.
3 and, on the next day, we put into Zidon, —and Julius, treating Paul, kindly, gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself;
Angawi üng, Sidon kami phaki. Julijah naw Pawluh mceh na lü a khyah, a püiea veia cit se a püie naw hlükawki ami pet vaia a cehsak.
4 and, from thence putting out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary;
Acun üngka naw, tui üng kami cit beki, khawkhi naw akceha jah cehsak se, Kuparuh kyawn da kami citki.
5 and, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Kilikiha ja Pampuliha pei tui kami khe käna, Lukia hne, Muraha kami phaki.
6 And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
Acua yekap ngvai naw Aleksandria üngkhyüh Itali cit khai mlawng hmu lü; a jah ngcumsak.
7 And, for a good many days sailing slowly, and getting with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us to get on, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
Mhnüp khawvei angpäicaa cit u lü akpäihnaka Kanidah mlüh kami phaki. Khawkhi am daw se, Karet kyawn cit lü Kep Salmonih ami ti khe lü kami citkie.
8 and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Va thäihca u lü, Laseah mlüh üngkhyüh am thuki Sep Habar ami tia hnün anänga kami pha lawki.
9 And, when a considerable time had passed, and sailing was already dangerous, because, even the Fast, had already gone by, Paul began to advise,
Mhnüp khawvei sumei lü, mlawng am msu lü ceh vai a kyühksea phäha, Thawngnaka Mhnüp pi a khe päng. Pawluh naw jah mcäi lü,
10 saying to them—Sirs! I perceive that, with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship, but even of our persons, shall the voyage certainly be attended.
“Khyange aw, atuh mlawng am mi cehta, mlawng ja khawhthem he ami khyüh päih däka am kya lü, mi xünnak pi khyük khaia hmu veng” a ti.
11 But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
Acunsepi, yekap ngvai naw Pawluha pyen am kcang na lü keptin ja mlawng maha pyen a jah kcangnak.
12 And, the harbour being, incommodious, to winter in, the more part, advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they might be able to reach Phoenix, to winter, [which was] a harbour of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
Acuna tui kam cun khawksik khya üng venaka am daw se, cit be tü u lü, Phonenih pha vaia kami kthanaki, a thawn khawh ta acua khawksik khya kami sumei khai kami ngtängki. Phonenih tui pei cun Kareta ve lü, nghngi kyak ja cuma keh, nghngi kyak ja sipa keh da pi kyase ma na hüki.
13 And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
Khet da khawkhi nghäi ngtün lü khi law se, khyange naw ami ngaia kba thawn khaia ngai u lü, kpunnak yüi kaih lü Karet tui kam da citkie.
14 But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo, —
Acunsepi, asäng üng, Püi Khawkhi ami tia khawkhi cun kyawn da aktäa khi lawki.
15 and, the ship being caught and we not being able to bring her head to the wind, we let her go, and were borne along.
Mlawng a cut law üng, mlawng naw khawkhi am näng se, kami ktha päih lü khawa a khinak da a jah ceh hüpüi.
16 And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, —
Kaladeh ngming nakia kyawna kami ngtunjinnak vai kami hmuki. Mlawng käh a pyak vaia ngyan üng kami pawhki.
17 which, hoisting up, they began to use, helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest, on the sand-bank of Africa, they should run aground, lowering the gear, so, were they borne along.
Mlawng cun jän kaihca lü khäng khaia yüi am ami kphung. Acunüng Libya kawnga khana a ngtaih vai kyüh u lü, jih ja nemsak lü khawkhia a jah cehnak püia kami citki.
18 But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
Angawi üng khawkhikse khi law se, mlawng üngka phüie cun tui üng ami ja tawn.
19 and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
A ngawi be tü üng, ami naw mlawng üngka phüie cun ami jah tawn be tü.
20 And, neither, sun nor stars, appearing for many days, and, no small tempest, lying upon us, in the end, all hope that we should be saved, began to be taken from us.
Khaw mhnüp khawvei nghngi ja aisie pi käh ngdang lü khawkhi naw jah mnawk hü se, kami lät khai pi am kami ngai tiki.
21 But, when they had been, long without food, then, Paul, standing in the midst of them, said—Ye ought, indeed, Sir! yielding to me, not to have sailed away from Crete, to get this damage and loss. …
Khawvei ei kaa kami ve käna, Pawluh ami ksunga ngdüi lawki naw, “Khyange aw, asüa, ka pyen ngai u lü, Karet üngka naw käh mi lawa ta, ahikba pyaknak ja sungpyamnak am mi khamei khai sü.
22 And, now, I recommend you to be of good courage; for, loss of life, shall there be, none at all, from among you, —only the ship.
Acunsepi, atuh ning jah nghui na veng, ling u lü ve u, mlawng däk khyük lü, nami xünnak am khyük, a ti.
23 For there stood by me this night, belonging unto the God whose I am, unto whom also I am doing divine service, a messenger,
Isetiakyaküng, tuh mthana, ka jumei ja ka hjawkhah, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat ka veia law lü,
24 saying—Be not afraid, Paul! for, before Caesar, must thou needs stand. And lo! God hath granted to thee as a favour, all them who are sailing with thee.
‘Pawluh aw, käh cäia! Empero Sangpuxanga hmaia na ngdüi khai, Pamhnama dawkyanak naw na jah ngkhapkie sak cän jah mpyenei ve.’
25 Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
Acunakyase, khyange aw, ling ua, a na mtheha mäiha kya khai tia Pamhnam ka jumki.
26 Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
Acunsepi, tui kam mat mata mi ngtaih khaie” a ti.
27 And, when, the fourteenth night, had come, and we were being driven to and fro in the Adriatic, about midnight, the sailors suspected that some country was, nearing, them;
Acunüng, mthan xaleikphyü üng, Adih Mpanglaituia khawkhikse naw a jah mnawk hü. Mthan nglunga yekape naw keimi cun kawng da kami ng’et lawki tia cam hü u lü ami ksing law.
28 and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
Acunüng, tuia a thuk cam tü se, lam mku lawkia ami ksing. Asäng nghjawk se ami cam be üng, lam xaleimhma law se ami ksing.
29 And, fearing lest haply, on rocky places, we should be wrecked, out of stern, cast they four anchors, —and began praying that day might dawn.
Lung a suk vai kyühei u lü, mlawnga ngmei da mthimhjum phyü ju khya u lü, khawa thaih law hlah vaia kami ktaiyükie.
30 But, when, the sailors, were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though out of the prow they had been about to reach anchors,
Mlawng mawngkie naw, mlawng cun centak vaia ngtäng u lü mlawnga ma mthimhjum khyakia ngsaih u lü mlawngca cun tui üng ami ju khyak.
31 Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!
Acun ja, Pawluh naw yekap ngvai ja yekapea veia, “Mlawng mawngkie mlawnga khana am nami ve ta am lät uki” a ti.
32 Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Yekape naw, mlawngca khihnaka yüie cun, jah cap pat lü, mlawngca cun ami khyah.
33 And, until day was about to dawn, Paul continued to beseech one and all to take some food, saying—This day is, the fourteenth day, that, suspense, fasting, ye are completing, —having helped yourselves, to nothing.
Khawthaih law hlü ja Pawluh naw, ami van naw ei ami ei vaia a jah nghuinak. “Tungawi, mhnüp xaleikphyü law pängki, i am ei u lü ei kaa nami veki.
34 Wherefore, I beseech you to take some food, —for, this, lays a foundation for your safety; for, of no one of you, shall a hair of the head perish.
Acunakyase, ning jah nghui na veng, nami xün vaia i mä ei ua. Nami lusam matca pi am khyük khai ni” a ti.
35 And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
Acun a pyen law päng üng, Pawluh naw muk lo lü, Pamhnama veia jenak mtheh lü khyangea hmaia; mu cun boki lü a ei.
36 And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
Ami vana cäicingnak dim law lü ami ei pi ei law hngakie.
37 Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
Acuna khyange cun phya nghngih ja khyühkip ja khyuk mlawnga khana veki.
38 And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Avan naw kami ei law käna, mlawng hang khaia kyung cun mpanglai üng kami jah tawn.
39 And, when day came, they could not recognise, the land; but perceived, a certain bay, having a beach, —upon which they were minded, if they could, safely to bring the ship.
Khawa thaih law üng, acuna kawng cun mlawng mawnge naw am ksing u, lüpi tuikam cun ksing u lü mlawng cun acua ngdüi khaia ami pawh vaia ngtün lawki he.
40 And, casting off the anchors, they let them go into the sea, —at the same time, loosening the lashings of the rudders, and, hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
Acunüng, mthimhjum ja mawngnak ami jah kunnak yüi cun ja mawi pat u lü, tui üng ami mcum. Acun kung üng, jih ja khihnaka yüie cun ja kphyawtkie naw, a ma lama jinu cun khawkhi naw a hmut vaia häi u lü tuikam da citkie.
41 But, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and, the foreship sticking fast, remained immoveable, while, the stern, began to break up, from the violence [of the waves].
Acunsepi, mlawng naw mdih su se, mlawnga lu da cun ngtangei lawki, mlawnga ngmei da cun tuiyüi a kyan lawa phäha pyakeiki.
42 Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;
Yekape naw thawng kyume cun tui jawh u lü ami cen vai kyühkie naw jah hnim vaia ami bü law.
43 but, the centurion, being minded to bring Paul safely through, hindered them of their purpose, and ordered such as were able to swim, to cast themselves overboard and, get first to the land, —
Acunsepi, yekap ngvai naw Pawluh a yun vai täng lü, acun ami hnim vaia ami tün cun a jah mkhyawh. Tui jawh theiki naküt cun tui üng kco u lü, kawng da ami jawh ma vaia,
44 and, the rest, some, on planks, and, some, on other things from the ship, …and, so, it came to pass, that, all, were brought safely through, on to the land.
avange cun, thing pheka khana, avang mlawnga mtimteea khana pek law khaiea a jah mtheh. Acunüng, kami van kawnga phyawn lü kami pek päihkie.
