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.
Nikwakayeyegwa kuti twelede kuyaku Itali abwaato bakasala Pawulu abamwi baange kumwendelezi wabasilumamba utegwa Juliyasi wamunkamu.
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;
Twakanjila mubwato buzwa ku Adilamatiyamu oobo bwakali bwaba afwifwi kuti bunyampuke bwakali kuyoyinda kunkomwe ya Eziya. Mpawo twakayinka kulwizi. Alisitachasi uzwaku Tesalonika mu Masedoniya wakeenda andiswe.
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;
Mubuzuba butobela twakasika kuchisi cha Sidoni, oko Juliyasi nkwakakujata Pawulo cabuuya alimwi akumuzumizya kuti ayiinke kubenzinyina kuyotambula kubambwa.
4 and, from thence putting out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary;
Kuzwa awo twakaya kulwizi twakuyamba muunsi ankoomwe yaku Sayipulasi, afwifwi akukasuwa, nkambo luuwo lwakalikututonta.
5 and, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Nitwakeenda katutimbula lwizi nitwakazoinda ku Silisiya alimwi aku Pamfiliya, twakasika ku Mayila, chisi chaku Lusiya.
6 And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
Nkuko ooko mwendelezi nkwakajana bwaato buzwa ku Alekizandiliya obo bwakalikuya ku Itali. Mpawo watubika mumo.
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;
Nitwakali kweenda bunini abunini kwamazuba mayingi, twakazomaninsizya twasika mubuyumuyumu afwifwi a Sinidusi alimwi luuwo telwakazotuzumizya pe kuti twinde nzila eeyo, twakeenda katuyabuya alubazu lwankomwe yaku Kkilete, kumbali lya Salimone.
8 and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Twakeenda mumo omo munkomwe mubuyumuyumu, mane twakusika kubusena bumwi butegwa Majulu mabotu, buli afwifwi achisi cha Laseya.
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,
Twakali twamana chiindi chilamfu, chiindi chakulyiimya kwama Juda achilacho chakali chayinda, alimwi kwakali kwatentuusya lino kweenda. Mpawo Pawulu wakabachenjezya,
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.
wati, “nibaluumi, ndibwene kuti lweendo ndutuyanda kubweza lulakulichisa akuswekelwa kupati, pepe zinyampwidwe nikuba bwato luzutu, pesi abuumi bwesu.”
11 But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
Pesi mwendelezi wakaswilizya kapati kuli sikwenzya bwaato akulimuna bwaato kwinda eezyo zyaakambwa a Pawulu.
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.
Nkambo chito techakali chuubila pe kuti bukkale mpawo chilinu choonse, bamwi bayiingi bakapa muzezo wakuti tweende kuzwa aawa, ambweni dozyakonzeka ngatuyosika kuchisi cha-Foyenikisi, kuti tukakkale chiindi chachilimo nkuko. Foyenikisi nchito cha Kkilete, chilangide koonse kumusaansa akububbila alimwi kumbo -akububbila.
13 And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
Eelyo luuwo lwakumusansa nilwakatanguna kuunga kwachumunizi, basibwato bakayeeya mbuli kuti bakali bachijana nchibakalikuyanda. Lino bakanyamuna bbwe lyakwimikizya bwato mpawo beenda kabatobezya Kkilete, afwifwi ankomwe.
14 But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo, —
Pesi nikwakayinda kayindi kanini kwakaza muuwo mupati uutegwa Notisita, wakatanguna kuuma aansi kuzwa kusuwa.
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.
Eelyo bwaato nibwakajatwa amuuwo mupati zyakukachilwa kuyakunembo muluuwo, twakayinzizya muuwo mupati ooyu mwenya alimwi wakatuchuunda twatobelezya muuwo.
16 And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, —
Twakeenda munkomwe munsi akasuwa kanini kategwa Kkawunda, alimwi abuyumuyumu twakazokonzya kusika akaato kakuvunwa.
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.
Eelyo nibakaanga Kaato, bakabelesya minchinda yako mpawo bazojatanisya amwi kubulambo bwabwato. Bakalikuyowa kuti ngabayosisigwa kumuse waku Sayitisi, lino bakalosya minchinda wangidwe bbwe wabwato alimwi bakatontwa kabayabuya.
18 But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
Twakatamamizigwa mbubobu amuuwo mupati zyakuti buzuba bwakatobela bakatanguna kubwala mpasya mukati mulwizi.
19 and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
Mubuzuba bwachitaatu bantu bakalimubwato bakabwaala zintu zyakali mubwato amaboko aabo.
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.
Eelyo izuba anyenyezi nizyakatatumunikila kwamazuba mayingi, alimwi muuwo mupati kuchuuma alindiswe, bulangilizi boonse bwakuti twelede kufutulwa bwakamana.
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. …
Nibakeenda kwachiindi chilamfu kabatakwe chakulya pe, eelyo Pawulu wakayimikila akati kabantu wati, “Nobakwesu, mwalelede kunditelela, alimwi temwalelede kwenda kamuzida kuKkilete pe, eezi zyakuti mujane kulichisa alimwi kuswekelwa.
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.
Lino ndamusimya kuti nywebo mube abusungu, nkaambo takwe nikutabewo pe kuswekelwa buumi akati kanu, pesi biyo kuswekelwa kwabwaato.
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,
Busiku bwayinda mungeelo wa Leza ooyo ngundili kulinguwe, ooyo alimwi ngundikomba — mungelo wakwe wakaliimvwi aambali lyangu
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.
alimwi wati, 'Utayoowi, Pawulu, weelede kuyoyimikila kunembo lyaKayisa, alimwi ukabone Leza mubuya mbwakapa kuli nduwe abo boonse balimulwendo anduwe.'
25 Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
Linobu mube abusungu, nobakwesu! Nkaambo ndisyoma Leza kuti chiyochitika mbuli mbuchakaambwa kulindime.
26 Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
Pesi twelede kuchijana munyika amutusuwa.'
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;
Eelyo busiku bwakkumi abwaane nibwakasika, mbuli mbutwali kuchundilwa kulubazu olu alimwi mukati kalwiizi lwa Adiliyatiki, kubanga mpakati kabusiku basilwendo bakayeeya kuti bamba kusika kunyika.
28 and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
Bakabeza zipimyo alimwi bakajana kuti maboko ali kkumi amusanu.
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.
Bakayoowa kuti ambweni anga tulawuminina amabwe, lino bakawaala mabwe akwimikizya bwaato aanze kuzwa munsi alimwi bakakomba kuti kucha ambweni kulafwambana kusika.
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,
Bakali mubwaato bakalikulanga nzila yakusiya bwato alimwi bakalosya kaato kulwizi, alimwi bakabaanga balabwaala mabwe abwaato kuzwa kunembo.
31 Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!
Pesi Pawulu wakati kumwendelezi akuli basilumamba, “kunze akuti baalumi aaba bakkale mubwaato, takwe nimunga mulafutuka pe.”
32 Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Eelyo basilumamba bakadunsuula minchiinda yakaato alimwi bakaleka kayabuya.
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.
Nikwakaamba kucha, Pawulo wakabasungwazya boonse kuti babweze chakulya. Wakamba kuti, “Eli zuba ndyakkumi aane kamuswini kulindilizya kamutakwe chakulya pe — takwe nchimulide pe.
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.
Eelyo ndamukombelezya kuti mwabane chakulya, nkambo oolu ndulufutuka lwanu. Ko takukwe anaba umwi akati kanu utaswekelwe inzeeta imwi yasusu kuzwa kumutwe wakwe.”
35 And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
Naakamana kwaamba eezi, wakabweza chinkwa alimwi walumba Leza mumeso aboonse. Eelyo wakakwamuna chinkwa alimwi watalika kulya.
36 And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
Eelyo bakasungwazigwa boonse mpawo abalabo bakabweza chakulya.
37 Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
Twakali myaanda ibili ilamakkumi musanu aabili amusanu awumwi myuuya yakali mubwaato.
38 And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Nibakalya achakwelela, bakachita kuti bwaato buubilwe akubwaala mayila mulwizi.
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.
Nikwakaba buunsi, tebakibonape nyika, pesi bakabona tyebe lilankomwe, alimwi bakayowesya kuti anga balayinzya bwaato na ataala.
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.
Mpawo bakanenga zyatendela zijazyo alimwi bakasiya mukati kalwizi. Muchindi chimwi biyo eecho bakangununa minchiinda yazitabilisyo kuluuwo; alimwi bakayinka kunkomwe.
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].
Pesi bwaato bwakajimpa aansi mpawo bweenda anyika. Chakumpela chabwato chakapatila alimwi chachaala kachitanyamuki pe, alimwi chaansi chakatyolwa anguzu zyamayuwe.
42 Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;
Mabaambe abasilumaamba akali kujaya baange kuchitila kuti kutabi naba omwe uunga ulayamba mpawo achije.
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, —
Pesi mweendelezi wakalikuyanda kufutula Pawulo, mpawo wakayimikizya mabambe aabo; alimwi wakalayilila aabo bakalikukonzya kuyamba kuti basotokele kuunze alimwi basike anyika.
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.
Eelyo boonse baalumi beelede kutobela, bamwi ajulu azimwi zintu zyakali mubwato. Munzila eeyi zyakachitika kuti toonse tusike obotu anyika.
