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.
Paiamuliwe panga tupalikwa tunasafiri kwa mase kuyenda Italia, watimkabidhi Paulo na afungwa benge kwa afisa yumo wa jeshi lya Kiroma ywakemelwa Julio, wa Kikosi cha Agustani.
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;
Tukapanda meli boka Adrmitamu, ambayo ibile itisafiri kandokando ya pwani ya Asia. Nga nyo tujingii mubahari. Aristaka boka Thesalonike ya Makedonia kayenda pamope natwee.
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;
Lisoba lya nyaibele tuikite katika mji wa Sidoni, ambapo Julio atimpangia kwa ukarimu na atibaruhusu kuyenda kwa rafiki zake kupokya ukarimu wabe.
4 and, from thence putting out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary;
Boka po twayenda mu'bahari tukasafiri kuzunguka kisiwa cha Kipto ambacho kibile kimeukinga mbepo, kwa mana mbepo ubile ukitukabili.
5 and, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Baada ya kuwa tumesafiri katika mase yabile papipi na Kilikia na Pamfilia, twaisa Mira, mji wa Lisia.
6 And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
Palo yolo afisa wa jeshi lya Kiroma, akaikuta meli boka Alexandria ambayo ibile itisafiri kuelekea Italia. Akatupandisha ndani yake.
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;
Baada ya kusafiri mbolembole kwa masoba ganyansima na hatimaye tuikite kwa taabu karibu na Kinidas, mbepo waruhusu kwaa kae kuelekea ndela yoo, nga nyoo tukasafiri kandokando ya kivuli cha Krete tukiukenga mbepo, mkabala na Salmone.
8 and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Twatisafiri kandokando ya pwani kwa ugumu, mpaka tuikite mahali pakemelwa Fari Haveni ambayo ibile papipi na mji wa Lasi.
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,
Tutweti muda mwingi muno, na muda wa mfungo wa Ayahudi ubile umepita pia, nambeambe ibile ni hatari kuyendelea kusafiri. Nga nyo Paulo atitukanikiya,
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.
no baya, “Alalome nibweni safari ambayo twapala kuitola ywalowa kuwa na madhara na hasara yanyansima, ni kwamizigo kichake kwaa na meli, lakini pia maisha yitu.”
11 But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
Lakini afisa yumo wa jeshi la Kiroma atimpekaniya muno ngwana wake na mmiliki wa meli, kuliko makowe ambayo galongelwa na Paulo.
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.
Kwa sababu bandari ibile kwaa sehemu rahisi tama kipindi sa mbepo, mabaharia banyansima batisauri tusafiri boka palo, ili kwa namna yoyote tukiweza kuika mji wa Foinike, tutame palo kipindi sa mbepo, Foinike ni bandari kolyo Krete, na itilinga kaskazini na kusini mashariki.
13 And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
Mbepo ya kusini pautumbwile kuvuma mbolembole, mabaharia bapatike chelo ambacho babile bakihitaji. Bating'oa nanga na kusafiri kandokando ya Krete papipi na pwani.
14 But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo, —
Lakini baada ya muda mwipi mbepo nkali, waukemelwa wa kaskazini mashariki, utumbwile kutukombwa boka ng'ambo ya kisiwa.
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.
Muda meli yatilemewa na kushindwa kuikabili mbepo, twatikubaliana na hali yee, tukasafiri nao.
16 And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, —
Tukabutuka pitya wolo upande ubile utiukenga mbepo wa kisiwa kikemelwa Kauda; na kwa taabu muno twatifanikiwa kuuokoa mtumbwi.
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.
Baada ya kuwa tumeivuta, balitumia kamba kuifunga meli. Batiyogopa panga tungeweza kuyenda katika eneo lya mchanga wanyansima wa Syiti, nga nyo batiulua nanga na batiendeshwa kandokando.
18 But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
Tukombwile kwa nguvu muno na dhoruba, nga nyo lisoba lyanyaibele mabaharia batumbwile kutupa miziogo boka mu'meli.
19 and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
Lisoba lya tatu, mabaharia batumbwile kuyatoa mase kwa maboko gabe bene.
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.
Muda ambao liumu na ndondwa yatuangazia kwaa masoba ganyansima, bado dhoruba ngolo itukombwile, na matumaini panga twalowa lopolelwa yatiboka.
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. …
Baada ya kuwa batiyenda muda mrefu bila chakulya, nga Paulo ayemi katikati ya mabaharia kabaya, “Alalome, mpalikwa kunipekaniya, na kana tuiboite nanga boka Krete, ili kupata madhara aga na hasara.
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.
Nambeambe naafariji panga mube na mwoyo, kwa sababu pabile kwaa na upotevu wa maisha kati yinu, ila hasara ya meli.
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,
Kwa mana kilo chakipitike malaika wa Nnongo, ambaye yolo Nnongo nenga ni wake, na ambaye namwabudia kae-malaika bake ayemi pembeni yango
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.
no baya, “Kana uyogope Paulo. Lazima uyemi nnongi ya Kaisari, linga, Nnongo katika wema wake akupeile aba bote ambao wasafiri pamope nawenga.
25 Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
Nga nyo, alalome, mujipe mwoyo, kwa sababu namwaminiya Nnongo, panga ipalika kati yaanibakiye.
26 Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
Lakini lazima tuumie kwa kukombwa katika baadhi ya visiwa.”
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;
Pauikite kilo ya komi na ncheche, patubile tukiyendeshwa kolyo na kolyo mu'bahari ya Adratik, kati kilo ya manane nyoo, mabaharia batifikiri panga batikaribia nchi kavu.
28 and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
Balitumia milio kupima kina cha mase na kupata mita thelathini na sita, baada ya muda mwipi bapema bapatike mita ishirini na saba.
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.
Batiyogopa kwanza twaweza kugonga miamba, nha nyo bakaulua nanga ncheche boka katika sehemu ya kuwekea nanga no kuloba panga bwamba uise mapema.
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,
Balo mabaharia batiipala namna ya kuitelekeza yelo meli na balizishusha majini boti njunu na kulopwa maisha, na bapangite kuwa wanatupa nanga boka sehemu ya nnongi ya boti.
31 Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!
Lakini Paulo kambakiya yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma na balo askari, “Muweza kwaa kuilopwa ila aba bandu babakia mu'meli.”
32 Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Boka po balo askari bakatike kamba na yelo boti ilekitwe itolwe na mase.
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.
Muda mwanga wa bwamba paubile utijitokeza, Paulo atibasihi bote angalau balyee kisunu. Kabaya, “Ayee nga lisoba lya komi na ncheche mwalenda bila kulyaa, mwalyaa kwaa kilebe.
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.
Nga nyo nawasihi mtole chakulya kisunu, kwa sababu yee ni kwaajili ya tama kwinu; na ntopo hata nywili yimo ya ntwe winu yalowa potea.
35 And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
Paayomwile baya nyoo, atitola mkate na kumshukuru Nnongo nnongi ya minyo ga kila mundu. Boka po kaetekwana mkate no tumbwa lyaa.
36 And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
Boka po bote batiwa mwoyo na bembe batola chakulya.
37 Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
Tubile bandu 276 nkati ya meli.
38 And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Paayomwile lyaa pakayukwita, baipangite meli nyepesi kwa kutupa ngano nkati ya mase.
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.
Paibile mutwekati, paibweni kwaa nchi kavu, lakini babweni sehemu ya nchi kavu yaijingya mumase yaibile na mchanga wanyansima. batilongela kati baweza kuiendesha meli kuelekea palo.
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.
Nga nyoo batizilegeza nanga bazilekite mumase. Katika muda wowolo batizilegeza kamba za tanga na kuiinua sehemu ya nnongi kuelekea katika mbepo, nga nyo batielekea katika iyo sehemu yabile na mchanga wanyansima.
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].
Lakini baisile mahali ambapo mikondo ibele ya mase itikwembana, na meli ikaelekya mchangani. Na yelo sehemu ya nnongi ikakwama palo na iweza kwaa boka, lakini sehemu ya mbele uya meli itumbwile kutekwanika kwa sababu ya ukale wa mawimbi.
42 Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;
Mpango wa balo askari ubile ni kuwabulaga wafungwa, ili panga ntopo ywaweza ogelea na kutoroka.
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, —
Lakini yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma apala kumwokoa Paulo, nga nyo akausimamisha mpango wabe; na akaamuru balo ambao baweza kuogelea baruke boka melini kwanza bayende nchi kavu.
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.
Boka po alalome benge balowa kunkengama, benge nnani ya ipande ya mbao na benge nnani ya ilebe yenge boka mu'meli. Kwa ndela yee ipangike panga bote twalowa ika salama nchi kavu.
