Acts 27
1 When now was determined sailing our to Italy, they were delivering both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the cohort of Augustus.
Mme lwa bofelo dithulaganyo tsa dirwa go re re simolole mosepele wa rona wa go ya kwa Roma ka sekepe; jalo Paulo le magolegwa a mangwe a mantsi ba bewa mo tlhokomelong ya mogolwane yo o neng a bidiwa Julio, leloko la mophato wa badisa.
2 Having boarded then on a ship of Adramyttium (being about *N(k)O*) to sail (to *no*) the along Asia places we set sail — while was being with us Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica.
Mme re ne ra tsamaya ka sekepe se se neng se ya kwa Gerika, se se neng se rulaganyeditswe go ema gantsinyana mo mafelong a sekae mo lotshitshing lwa lewatle la Asia. Ke tshwanetse go bolela gore Arisetareka wa Mogerika yo o neng a tswa kwa Thesalonika o ne a na le rona.
3 On the then next [day] we landed at Sidon, Considerately then Julius Paul was treating he allowed [him] to [his] friends (may be going *N(k)O*) care to receive.
Tsatsi le le latelang erile re ema kwa Sidona, Julio o ne a siame thata mo go Paulo mme a mo letla gore a fologe mo sekepeng a etele ditsala tsa gagwe gore di mo amogele ka boitumelo.
4 And from there And from there having set sail we sailed under Cyprus because of the winds being contrary,
Mme erile go tloga foo, ra kgorelediwa ke diphefo tse di neng tsa dira gore go nne thata go tlhamalatsa sekepe, jalo ra leba kwa bokone jwa Kupero fa gare ga setlhake le lefatshe,
5 And then along Cilicia and Pamphylia having sailed across [the sea] we came to Myra of Lycia.
mme ra feta go bapa le kgaolo ya Kilikia le Pamfilia, ra ema kwa Mira, mo kgaolong ya Lukia.
6 And there And there having found the centurion a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy he placed us into it.
Mme foo molaodi wa rona a bona sekepe sa Egepeto se se tswang kwa Alekesanderia, se ya Itale, mme sa re tsaya.
7 For many now days sailing slowly and with difficulty having arrived off Cnidus not is permitting us the wind we sailed under Crete off Salmone,
Re ne ra tsamaya mo dikgoberegong malatsi a le mantsi, mme la bofelo ra atamela Kinido; mme diphefo di ne di setse di gaketse, jalo ra tabogela kwa Kereta, ra feta mo boemelong dikepe jwa Salamone. Mme erile re ntse re lebaganye le phefo ka bothata jo bogolo re tsamaya re iketlile mo lotshitshing lwa borwa, ra goroga mo felong fa go bidiwang Dinwane Dintle gaufi le motse wa Lusia.
8 With difficulty and coasting along it we came to a place certain being called Fair Havens, to which near [the] city was of Lasea.
9 When much now time having passed and is being already dangerous the voyage because of even the Fast already being over, was admonishing [them] Paul
Mme ra nna malatsi a le mantsi koo. Ka nako eo phefo e ne ya nna maswe mo e leng gore re ne re sa kgone go tsamaya mosepele o moleele, gonne ngwaga e ne e tsamaela go fela, mme Paulo a bua le balaodi ba sekepe ka gone.
10 saying to them; Men, I understand that with disaster and much loss not only of the (burden *N(k)O*) and of the ship but also the lives of us ensuing to be the voyage.
A re, “Borra, ke dumela gore go tlaa nna mathata kwa pele fa re ka tswelela, gongwe sekepe sa rona se ka nna sa senyega, kgotsa ra latlhegelwa ke morwalo wa rona, ra gobala kgotsa ra a swa.”
11 But the centurion by the pilot and by the ship owner rather was persuaded than by the [things] by (*k*) Paul spoken.
Mme le fa gontse jalo batlhokomedi ba magolegwa ba ne ba reetsa molaodi wa sekepe le mong wa sone go na le Paulo.
12 Unsuitable now the harbor being to winter in the majority reached a decision to set sail (from there, *N(k)O*) if somehow they would be able having arrived at Phoenix to winter [there] — a harbor of Crete looking toward [the] southwest and toward [the] northwest.
Mme ka gore Dinwane Dintle e ne e le boemelo jo bo mo pepeneneng, lefelo le le sa siamelang go nna mo go lone mariga, bontsi jwa batho ba ba dirang mo sekepeng ba re gakolola gore go ka nna jang fa re leka go tlhatlogela kwa Finekisa go fetsa mariga teng; Finekisa e ne e le boemelo jwa dikepe jo bo siameng bo lebile kwa bokone-bophirima le kwa borwa-bophirima.
13 When was blowing gently now a south wind having thought the purpose to have obtained, having weighed [anchor] very near they were coasting along Crete.
Mme ka yone nako eo ga simologa phefo e e fokang ka bonya e tswa borwa, mme go ne go lebega e le letsatsi le le siametseng loeto, jalo ba tsamaya ba ikamile lotshitshi lwa lewatle.
14 After not long however it threw down from it a wind tempestuous which is being called [the] Northeaster.
Mme ka bofefo morago ga moo, ga nna le phetogo mo loaping, ga tsoga ledimo la phefo e e nonofileng thata (e ba e bitsang ya Bokone-botlhaba) la kapa sekepe la se phailela kwa teng ga lewatle. La ntlha ba ne ba leka go se lebisa kwa lotshitshing mme ba se ka ba kgona, jalo ba ineela gore phefo e kgweeletse sekepe kwa e yang teng.
15 When was being seized then the ship and not being able to face to the wind having given way we were driven along.
16 An Island then certain having run under being called (Cauda *N(K)O*) we were able with difficulty control to gain of the lifeboat,
Mme la bofelo ra goroga fa setlhakenyaneng se se neng se bidiwa Jauda, kwa e rileng ka bothata ra tlolela mo mokorong wa namolo o o neng o tswa kwa morago,
17 which having taken up supports they were using undergirding the ship; Fearing then lest into the sandbars of Syrtis they may fall having lowered the gear, thus they were driven along.
mme ra fapa sekepe kwa tlase. Badiri mo sekepeng ba ne ba tshaba go phepheulelwa ke phefo kwa go totomelang kwa lotshitshing lwa Afrika. Ba folosa disaile tsa sekepe ba ntse ba phepheulwa ke phefo.
18 Violently now being storm-tossed of us on the next [day] a jettison of cargo they were making;
Erile letsatsi le le latelang fa lewatle le kokomoga, badiri mo sekepeng ba simolola go latlhela merwalo mo lewatleng.
19 and on the third [day] with [their] own hands the tackle of the ship (they cast away; *N(K)O*)
Mme letsatsi le le latelang ba latlhela dilwana tsa bone le sengwe le sengwe se se neng se le gaufi nabo.
20 Neither now sun nor stars appearing for many days, tempest and no small afflicted [us] from then on was abandoned hope all of being saved us.
Dikhuduego tsa lewatle tsa nna dikgolo ka malatsi a le mantsi go fitlhelela la bofelo go sena tsholofelo epe.
21 Much (also *N(k)O*) time without food there being at that time having stood up Paul in midst of them he said; It was necessary [for you] indeed, O men, having been obedient to me not to have set sail from Crete, to have incurred then disaster this and loss.
Mme ka lobaka lo lo leele go ne go sena ope yo o kileng a ja, mme la bofelo Paulo o ne a bitsa badiredi ba sekepe botlhe a re, “Banna, lo ka bo lo ne lwa ntheetsa lantlha mme ra seka ra tloga mo Dinwane Dintle, lo ka bo lo falotse dikgobalo tse le tatlhegelo!
22 And yet now I exhort you to keep up your courage; loss for of life none there will be from among you only of the ship.
Mme le fa go ntse jalo nametsegang! Ga go ope wa rona yo o tlaa latlhegelwang ke botshelo, ntswa sekepe sone se tlaa nwela.
23 Stood by for me this night of God whose am (I myself *n*) whom and I serve an angel
“Gonne bosigo jo bo fetileng moengele wa Modimo yo ke leng wa gagwe le yo ke mo direlang o ne a ema fa thoko ga me,
24 saying; Not do fear, Paul, to Caesar you it behooves to stand before, And behold has granted to you God all those sailing with you.
a re, ‘Se boife, Paulo, gonne ka boammaaruri o tlaa sekisiwa ke Kaesara! Mo gongwe gape ke eng, Modimo o arabile kopo ya gago mme o tlaa boloka matshelo a botlhe ba ba mo loetong le wena.’
25 Therefore take courage men; I believe for in God that thus it will be according to the way it has been said to me.
Mme jaanong nametsegang! Gonne ke dumela Modimo! Go tlaa nna fela jaaka o buile!
26 Upon an island however certain it behooves us to fall.
Mme le fa go ntse jalo sekepe sa rona se tlaa senyegela fa setlhakeng.”
27 When then [the] fourteenth night had come being driven about of us in the Adriatic, toward [the] middle of the night were sensing the sailors to be drawing near some to them land;
Mme erile e ka nna nako ya bosigo-gare mo bosigong jwa bo lesome le bone jwa khuduego ya lewatle, fa re ntse re phepheulelwa kwa pele le kwa morago mo lewatleng la Aderia, batsamaisi ba sekepe ba belaela gore lefatshe le gaufi.
28 And having taken soundings they found fathoms twenty, A little then having gone farther and again having taken soundings they found fathoms fifteen;
Ba ne ba lekeletsa boteng jwa metse mme ba bona e le boteng jwa dikgato di le lekgolo le masome a mabedi. Morago ga sebakanyana ba lekeletsa gape, mme ba bona e le dikgato di le masome a roba bongwe.
29 Fearing then lest perhaps (on *N(k)O*) rocky places (we may fall, *NK(O)*) out of [the] stern having cast anchors four they were praying for day to come.
Mme ka selekanyo se ba itse gore ba gaufi le go phepheulelwa kwa lotshitshing, mme ka ba tshaba mafika a a gaufi le lotshitshi, ba digela diitsetsepelo di le nne ka kwa morago ga sekepe mme ba rapela gore go nne lesedi.
30 Of the then sailors seeking to flee out of the ship and having let down the lifeboat into the sea under pretense as from [the] bow anchors being about to cast out
Mme batsamaisi ba bangwe ba loga leano la go tlogela sekepe, mme ba fologa mokoro wa phalotsho jaaka o ka re ba ya go tlhoma diitsetsepelo kwa pele.
31 said Paul to the centurion and to the soldiers; Only unless these shall remain in the ship, [then] you yourselves to be saved not you are able.
Mme Paulo a raya masole le molaodi a re, “Lo tlaa swa lotlhe fa lo ka seka lwa nna mo sekepeng.”
32 Then cut away the soldiers the ropes of the lifeboat and allowed her to fall away.
Mme masole a kgaola megala a tlogela mokoro wa wa.
33 Until then that day was about to come, was urging Paul all to partake of food saying; [the] fourteenth today [is] day watching without eating you continue nothing having taken.
Erile masa a sa, Paulo a kopa mongwe le mongwe gore a je, a re, “Ga lo ise lo ke lo ame dijo mo dibekeng tse pedi tse di fetileng!
34 Therefore I exhort you (to partake *N(k)O*) of food; this indeed for of you preservation is; not [one] for of you a hair (of *N(k)O*) the head (will perish. *N(K)O*)
Tsweeng-tsweeng jang sengwe gore lo thusege! Gonne le fa ele thiri ya ditlhogo tsa lona ga e na go nyelela!”
35 Having said now these things and having taken bread he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it] he began to eat.
Mme a tsaya senkgwenyana se se omisitsweng a leboga Modimo fa pele ga bone botlhe, mme a ja.
36 Encouraged then having been all also themselves they took food;
Ka bofefo mongwe le mongwe a ikutlwa sentle mme ba simolola go ja,
37 (we were *N(k)O*) then the altogether souls in the boat (two hundred *NK(O)*) seventy six.
rotlhe re ne re le makgolo a mabedi le masome a supa le borataro, gonne eo ke yone palo e e neng e le mo sekepeng.
38 Having been filled then (*o*) with food they were lightening the ship casting out the wheat into the sea.
Erile re sena go ja, badiri ba sekepe ba fokotsa morwalo ka go latlhela mabele mo lewatleng.
39 When now day it was, the land not they were recognizing, a bay however certain they were noticing having a shore, on which (they were determining *N(k)O*) if (they would be able, *NK(o)*) (to drive [aground] *NK(O)*) the ship.
Mme erile bosa bo sele, ba seka ba tlhaloganya lefatshe gore ke lefe, mme ba bona senwane se se lobota lo papametseng mme ba akanya gore a ba ka tsena fa gare ga mantswe ba phepheulelwa ke phefo kwa lotshitshing.
40 And the anchors having cut away they were leaving [them] in the sea, at the same time having loosened the ropes of the rudders And having hoisted the foresail to the blowing [wind] they were making for the shore.
Mme la bofelo ba ikaelela go leka jalo. Ba kgaola diitsetsepelo ba di tlogela mo lewatleng, ba folosa dikgong tse di sokololang sekepe ba pega disaile ba leba kwa lotshitshing.
41 Having fallen however into a place between two seas they ran aground the vessel; and the indeed bow having stuck fast it remained immovable, however the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
Mme sekepe sa thula totoma ya motlhaba sa totomela. Mpa ya sone ya tsena mo mmung, mme marago a sone a thujwa ke makhubu a metsi.
42 Of the now soldiers [the] plan was that the prisoners they may kill, lest anyone having swum away (may escape. *N(k)O*)
Mme masole a buisanya le molaodi wa bone gore ba bolaye magolegwa e se re kgotsa ope wa bone a shapela kwa lotshitshing a falola.
43 But the centurion desiring to save Paul hindered them of the purpose, he commanded then those being able to swim having cast [themselves] off first on the land to go out,
Mme Julio ka a ne a batla go boloka Paulo, a ganana le mogopolo oo. Mme a laola gore botlhe ba ba ka kgonang go shapa ba fologe ba shapele kwa ntle,
44 and the rest some indeed on boards, some however on things from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all being saved to the land.
mme ba ba sa kgoneng go shapa ba leke ka dipolanka le dikgong tse di robegileng mo sekepeng. Mme mongwe le mongwe a kgona go falolela kwa lotshitshing.
