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.
Wosii gyinae wiee sɛ yɛnkɔ Italia no, wɔde Paulo ne nneduafo bi hyɛɛ Yulio a ɔyɛ Roma asraafo panyin no nsa.
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;
Yɛkɔtenaa hyɛn bi a ɛrekɔ Asia fam no mu wɔ Adramitio. Na Makedoniani Aristarko a ofi Tesalonika no ka yɛn ho.
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;
Ade kyee no, yekoduu Sidon. Yulio yɛɛ Paulo adɔe ma ɔkɔsraa ne nnamfo ma wɔmaa no nneɛma a ɛho hia no.
4 and, from thence putting out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary;
Esiane sɛ yetuu wɔ hɔ no na mframa bɔ hyia yɛn no nti yɛka kɔɔ Kipro nifa fam.
5 and, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Yɛnam po so kɔfaa Kilikia ne Pamfilia koduu Mira a ɛwɔ Likia mantam mu no mu.
6 And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
Ɛhɔ na asraafo panyin no huu hyɛn bi a efi Aleksandria rekɔ Italia. Enti ɔde yɛn kɔtenaa mu.
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;
Hyɛn no kɔɔ brɛoo enti yedii nna wɔ po no so. Yɛbrɛɛ ansa na yɛredu Knido. Esiane sɛ na mframa bɔ hyia yɛn no nti, yɛfaa Salmoni hyɛngyinabea ka kɔɔ Kreta nifa fam.
8 and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Yɛka kɔɔ mpoano nkakrankakra kosii sɛ yɛde ɔbrɛ beduu baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Hyɛn Agyinae a ɛbɛn kurow Lasea.
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,
Na yɛasɛe mmere pii, na saa bere no nso po no sofa yɛ hu efisɛ na ɛyɛ Mpata Da akyi. Paulo tuu wɔn fo se,
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.
“Anuanom, mihu sɛ, sɛ yɛtoa yɛn akwantu yi so a, yebehu amane ama ebia hyɛn no abɔ ama emu nneɛma asɛe ama nnipa ahwere wɔn nkwa.”
11 But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
Nanso asraafo panyin no antie fo a Paulo tuu wɔn no, na mmom otiee nsɛm a hyɛnkafo no ne hyɛn no wura kae no.
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.
Esiane sɛ na hyɛngyinabea hɔ nye mma sɛ wɔbɛtena hɔ awɔwbere mu no nti nnipa no bebree pɛe sɛ, sɛ ebetumi a anka hyɛn no betu afi hɔ akɔ Foinike. Foinike yɛ hyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Kreta a ɛda atifi ne anafo ntam wɔ Atɔe fam. Ɛyɛ baabi a wobetumi atena hɔ awɔwbere mu.
13 And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
Mframa a ano nyɛ den bɔ fii anafo fam no, nnipa no susuw sɛ wobetumi atoa wɔn akwantu no so sɛnea wɔahyehyɛ no. Enti wotuu sɛkyɛ no de hyɛn no faa Kreta mpoano.
14 But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo, —
Ankyɛ koraa na mframa kɛse bi a wɔfrɛ no “Apueitifi Mframa” bɔ fii supɔw no so.
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.
Mframa no bɔ bunkam faa yɛn hyɛn no so twee no kɔɔ po no mu. Yɛbɔɔ mmɔden sɛ yɛbɛdan hyɛn no ani na anyɛ yiye no, yegyae maa mframa no twee no kɔe.
16 And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, —
Yeduu supɔw ketewa bi a wɔfrɛ no Klauda ho a na ɛhɔ mframa ano nyɛ den mpo no, yɛbrɛɛ ansa na yɛretumi atwe hyɛn no korow a ɛsɛn akyi no aba mu.
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.
Hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo no maa so baa hyɛn no mu bɛkyekyeree no denneennen. Esiane sɛ na wosuro sɛ wɔbɛkɔ akɔka nwea mu nti, woyiyii hyɛn dua no so ntama maa mframa no bɔɔ hyɛn no kɔɔ baabiara a ɛpɛ.
18 But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
Mframahweam no kɔɔ so bɔe; ɛno nti ade kyee no woyiyii hyɛn no mu nneɛma no bi tow guu po no mu.
19 and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
Ne nnansa so no, wɔsesaw hyɛn no ho nneɛma no bi tow gui.
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.
Nna bebree twaa mu a na yenhu owia anaa nsoromma a na mframahweam no gu so retu. Eyi maa yɛn anidaso nyinaa sae.
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. …
Nna bebree twaa mu a na obiara nnidi no, Paulo ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anuanom, sɛ mutiee me na yɛantu amfi Kreta a anka ɛnyɛ ɛne yɛn amanehunu yi.
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.
Nanso momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam, efisɛ mo mu biara renwu na mmom, hyɛn no na ɛbɛbɔ.
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,
Nnɛra anadwo, Onyankopɔn a mesom no no bɔfo baa me nkyɛn
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.
bɛka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Paulo, nsuro! Nea ɛbɛyɛ biara wubedu Kaesare anim ama wɔadi wʼasɛm. Wɔn a wɔka wo ho yi nso, Onyankopɔn adom nti, biribiara renyɛ wɔn.’
25 Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
Anuanom, momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam, efisɛ migye Onyankopɔn di na asɛm a waka akyerɛ me no bɛba mu pɛpɛɛpɛ.
26 Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
Nanso nea ɛbɛyɛ biara no hyɛn no bɛbɔ wɔ supɔw bi mpoano.”
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;
Ne nnaawɔtwe abien anadwo no a na mframahweam no nti hyɛn no redi akɔneaba wɔ Adria po so no, ɔdasu mu na hyɛn no mu adwumayɛfo huu sɛ yɛrebɛn asase.
28 and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
Wɔtoo susuhama huu sɛ asu no mu tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonu. Ɛyɛɛ kakra a wosusuw bio no, wohuu sɛ ɛyɛ anammɔn aduɔkron.
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.
Esiane sɛ na wosuro sɛ anyɛ a hyɛn no bɛpem ɔbotan bi nti wɔtoo sɛkyɛ anan wɔ hyɛn no akyi twɛn kosii adekyee.
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,
Hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo pɛɛ sɛ woguan. Enti wogyaw hyɛn no korow no sii po no ani boapa yɛɛ sɛnea wɔrekɔto sɛkyɛ wɔ hyɛn no anim.
31 Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!
Paulo ka kyerɛɛ asraafo panyin no ne asraafo a wɔka ne ho no se, “Sɛ hyɛn yi mu nnwumayɛfo no guan a, mubewuwu.”
32 Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Eyi nti asraafo no twaa hama a ɛkyekye hyɛn no korow no mu no ma ɛkɔe.
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.
Ade reyɛ akye no, Paulo srɛɛ wɔn nyinaa se wonnidi. Nea ɔkae ne sɛ, “Nnaawɔtwe abien ni, mo mu biara mfaa aduan nkaa nʼano.
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.
Mesrɛ mo, obiara nnidi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, mubenya ahoɔden. Biribiara renyɛ obiara.”
35 And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
Paulo kasa wiei no, ɔfaa brodo bɔɔ mpae daa Onyankopɔn ase wɔ wɔn nyinaa anim na obuu bi dii.
36 And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
Amono mu hɔ ara wɔn nyinaa bo tɔɔ wɔn yam ma wofii ase didii.
37 Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
Nnipa a na yɛwɔ hyɛn no mu no dodow yɛ ahannu ne aduɔson asia.
38 And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Obiara didi mee no, hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo no tow aburow a ɛwɔ hyɛn no mu no guu po no mu maa hyɛn no mu yɛɛ hare.
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.
Ade kyee no, hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo no anhu sɛ wɔadu mpoano. Wohuu faako a po no adidi akɔ asase no mu a nsu taa hɔ. Enti wɔyɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛka hyɛn no akɔ hɔ ama akɔka.
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.
Ɛno nti wotwitwaa hyɛn no sɛkyɛ ahama no mu maa sɛkyɛ no guu po mu. Afei wɔsansan hama a ekura akwankyerɛde no mu na afei wosii ntama a ɛwɔ hyɛn no anim no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mframa betumi abɔ hyɛn no akɔ mpoano.
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].
Nanso ɛhyɛn no kɔpem nweatam bi ma ɛkae. Hyɛn no anim kaa denneennen na asorɔkye a na ɛrebɔ no maa akyi no nso bubui.
42 Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;
Asraafo no yɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wobekunkum nneduafo no nyinaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara rennya kwan nguan.
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, —
Nanso esiane sɛ na asraafo panyin no pɛ sɛ ogye Paulo nkwa no nti wamma wɔn ho kwan. Mmom, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔn a wobetumi aguare no mfi ase nguare nkɔ mpoano.
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.
Wɔn a wɔaka no nso ntetare mmerɛte ne nnua asinasin a abubu fi hyɛn no mu no so nkɔ mpoano. Saa ɔkwan yi so na yɛnam beduu mpoano nohɔ dwoodwoo.
