< 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.
Itali ni daansoon kaat suh roongwaan kino, Pool nyia wahoh phaatak ni sakte loong ah mararah ah Room nok hah nawa arami saahaap Julius suh koh rumta, erah arami suh “Luuwanglong Regimeen ngeh ih men rumta.”
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;
Adramittiam dowa juukaari adi du kati, erah langla Esia hah dowa juukaari khoon chaptheng ko kaatte angta eno erah di daansoon kati. Mesidonia mih wasiit, Aristarkas ah Thesalonika nawa angta, heh uh seng damdi angta.
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;
Erah saalih adi Sidoon ni thokti. Julias ih Pool ah minchan eta, eno heh joon loong ah jiinni toom chosok rum ah ngeh ih wang thukta.
4 and, from thence putting out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary;
Pong ih rapne eh mot heeno erah dowa Kaipras juuloot hah adi daansoon kati.
5 and, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Silisia nyia Pamphilia juusih ah daan eno Maira hah Lisia ko angta adi wang tahe.
6 And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
Erah di Elekjendar nawa juukaari ah Itali ni wangte angta, eno saahaap ah ih erah japtup ano duutong kaat thuk tahe.
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;
Seng loong reere ih daansoon eno sa hantek di Nindus samhah ah kanak eh thokti. Pong thoidi erah ko takah jen kati, erah raangtaan ih Salmone lam eh Kret juuloot hah adi daansoonti.
8 and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Juukaang juukaang eh daan kah eno Sep Habor ngeh ih men rumta juukaari naangchap theng adi kanak rangthuk ih thok wangti. Erah Lasisa samhah dowa eh haloh tah angta.
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,
Erah di seng rekam tong eno, ju ni daan ah choophaan phaan eh angta, seng loong Khojoop Rangwu ah liin eta. Erah raangtaan ih Pool ih juukaari dowa saahaap loong asuh renbaat rumta:
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.
“Mina loong, arah dowa ju nah daan bah cho ejih tup hang huikhaak thiintheng ah khoodaat eh ah eno seng roidong uh thoon eh ah.”
11 But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
Enoothong arami saahaap ah ih Pool jeng ah lalek boichaat thang ih; juukaari jopte nyia juukaari changte jeng ah boichaatta.
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.
Juukaari chaptheng ah hahook di taseeta; erah raangtaan ih miloong ah ehanko ah juusih dowa Phoeniks ni daansoon chung rumta, lek jen daan rum ah baleh, hahook doh Phoeniks nah tong suh ah. Phoeniks ah langla juukaari lomchap theng Kret ni angta Juukuh Juumeh eh angta.
13 And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
Juumeh ko nawa pong ah amasah phang pong kano, miloong ah ih thunta neng jen dokkhoom ekah ah ngeh ah, erah thoidi hetang bentheng jaankeng ah jaahoom rum ano Kret ko juukaang juukaang ih daansoon rumta.
14 But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo, —
Enoothong dokchap damdam eh pong ah rapne eh pongta, erah pong asuh “Juukuh saadong pong” ngeh ih li rumta, eno erah pong ah juuloot hah dowa eh datpong taha.
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.
Juukaari ah pong ih tangmotta, seng ih uh takah jook motsiitti, pong nawa ih heh soonsoon lan eh thukti.
16 And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, —
Juuloot adi hah ehinsah Kuada ngeh ih angta eno juulah ko kah idi, juukaari chap theng kok jeeta. Erah di, juukaari ah tangchap thuk suh rapne eh chamti.
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.
Juukaari ah tanghoom rum ano ru nawa ih kook tangkit rumta. Neng loong ah phisaang ni duusoon raacho eh Libia juukaang ko pong suh hesoon soon eh hengmot kaatthuk rumta.
18 But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
Pong aphaat ah choophaan phaan ih pongroh eh kano, erah saalih adi huikhaak rukho ah juukaari dowa lamdat haat eh rumta,
19 and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
eno erah saalih adi juukaari ni maak theng jaan loong ah daat haat eh rumta.
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.
Sa hantek rangsa nyia ritsih uh tajap tupti, pong ah thidokdok ih pongroh eta. Seng uh epui eli ngeh ih takah laalomti.
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. …
Miloong ah sa hantek samuh tong rumkano, Pool neng ngathong ni toonchap ano jengta, “Mina loong, nga jeng ah thaangchaat anno Kret nawa ladokchap dobah ese ang thengta; eno seng athan tachamnaang thengti nyia huikhaak uh taathet haat thengti.
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.
Bolam uh sen lasih jorum hala, nakcho an! Seng khoh sengseng abah tamake juukaari ah ba ethet eh ah.
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,
Ngah ih soomhang Rangte Kamwah muphe ra haano,
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.
baat tahang, ‘Nakcho uh, Pool! An Luuwanglong ngathong nah chap jaatjaat etheng. Eno Rangte minchan doh an damdoh soonte loong ah uh epui eh ah.’
25 Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
Miwah loong, erah raangtaan ih nakcho an! Nga Rangte erah baat tahang asuh laalom lang jun ih ju ang ah.
26 Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
Enoothong juuloot ehoko maako bah uh soonmot ekaat he.”
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;
Asih saabaji sa rangphe di, Mediteeren juusih ko eh soonmot kaat tahe. Rangphe thungkham di jopte loong ah ih hah thoksoon eli samthun rumta.
28 and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
Erah raangtaan ih ruh tuiba ni tiim ah tiim ejih jaat benrum ano juumong ni thaak daat haat rumta eno rookbaji teekho choong angta; erah lih adi weethaak rum ano teekho rookjom angta.
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.
Jongkhoh nah maalek duusoon ji o ngeh eh cho rumta, erah raangtaan ih juukaari liko dowa tangtuk theng jaankeng baji ah daat hoom rum ano rangwu raangtaan ih rangsoom rumta.
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,
Enoothong jopte loong ah hotsoon esuh taatchung rumta; khoonkhu saloong ah datthiin rum ano heh ngako ni tangtuk theng jaankeng ih tangbat arah likhiik diip reeraang rumta.
31 Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!
Enoothong Pool ih Arami Saahaap nyia heh sipaahi loong asuh baatta, “Juukaari khonah jopte lajeeka bah epui eh ang ngeh ih laalomjih tah angka.”
32 Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Erah thoidi arami loong ah ih tangtuk eta ruh loong ah jaakhan rum ano heh soonsoon eh thuk rumta.
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.
Rangkhano angnanah di, Pool ih tiim ah tiim jam phaksat baat rumta: “Chiinnyah dowa ih sen loong ah asih sa baji angla, eno amadi uh tiim uh taphaksah kan.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih, sen lasih jorum hala, tiim ah tiim jam phaksah an; elun esuh phak asat jam phaksat etheng. Sen khoroon tasiit taan uh tamah kan ang ah.”
35 And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
Erah jeng lidi, Pool ih baanlo ah toonpi ano, Rangte suh lakookmi li ano, chep hoom phakta.
36 And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
Erah dowa ih ba neng chaan kok dongta, eno loongtang ih jam phaksah rumta.
37 Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
Seng loong ah roop roop ih 276 mina tongti.
38 And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Neng loong ah ih phoot phaksah rum ano, huichaang suh juukaari dowa wong ah ju ni lamset haat rumta.
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.
Rang ah wu ano, jopte loong ah ih hah ah maako ah tasamjat rumta, enoothong juusih kaang ah japtup rumta, neng ih thunta ese ang abah; juukaari ah phisaang khonah tangchap theng.
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.
Erah thoidi tangtuk theng jaankeng loong ah thakhan rum ano juusih ko lupdat kaat thuk rumta, erah damdam ih tangkit eh rumta ruh loong ah jaahaat. Eno pong asuh hengmot kaat thuk suh hengah ko lengmot etheng nyuh ah tangtin eh rumta, eno hekaang ko eh kati.
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].
Enoothong juukaari ah ih phisaang ah choksuh ano saanghook ni du soonta; hengah ko thut ano takah mi moseeta, helih ko ah juutak ih jopmotta.
42 Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;
Arami loong ah ih phaatak ni sakta miloong ah, juukaang ko daanjaap rum ano phomoong soon rum ah ngeh ih tek haat esuh chung rumta.
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, —
Enoothong arami saahaap ah ih Pool puipang suh li ano, tatek haat thuk rumta. Erah nang ebah, o o ah juujap miiha juukaang ko datpit rum ano daanjap baat rumta;
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.
wahoh loong asuh neng lilih ih, banglo nyia juukaari jopdaatta chep loong adoh joh ano daanjaap baat rumta. Eno seng loong ah juukaang ko emah daansoon eno kok puiti.
