Acts 27
1 And Festus commanded, respecting him, that he should be sent to Italy, unto Caesar. And he delivered Paul, and other prisoners with him, to a certain man, a centurion of the Augustan cohort, whose name was Julius.
Ary rehefa voadidy hiondrana an-tsambo hiala hankany Italia izahay, Paoly sy ny mpifatotra sasany dia natolotra tamin’ ny kapiteny atao hoe Jolio, tamin’ ny antokon’ i Aogosto.
2 And when we were to depart, we embarked in a ship which was from the city of Adramyttium, and was going to the country of Asia. And there embarked with us in the ship, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of the city of Thessalonica.
Ary rehefa nirotsaka an-tsambo avy any Adramytena izay efa handeha hitety ny sisin-tanin’ i Asia izahay, dia lasa nandeha; ary niaraka taminay Aristarko Makedoniana avy any Tesalonika.
3 And the next day, we arrived at Zidon. And the centurion treated Paul with kindness, and permitted him to visit his friends and be refreshed.
Ary nony ampitso dia tonga tany Sidona izahay. Ary tsara ny nitondran’ i Jolio an’ i Paoly, fa navelany hankany amin’ ny sakaizany izay hiahy azy izy.
4 And on sailing from there, because the winds were against us, we sailed around to Cyprus.
Ary nony niala teo izahay, dia nanara-morona an’ i Kyprosy nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra, satria nanohitra ny rivotra.
5 And we passed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and arrived at Myra, a city of Lycia.
Ary rehefa namaky ny ranomasina tany Kilikia sy Pamfilia izahay, dia tonga tany Myra any Lykia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria, which was going to Italy; and he set us on board of it.
Ary tao no nahitan’ ny kapiteny sambon’ Aleksandria hankany Italia, dia nasainy niondrana teo aminy izahay.
7 And as it was hard navigating, we had scarcely arrived, after many days, over against the isle of Cnidos. And, because the wind would not allow us to pursue a straight course, we sailed around by Crete, and came opposite the city of Salmone.
Ary rehefa nandeha niadana andro maromaro izahay ka saiky tsy tonga tandrifin’ i Kinido, satria nisakana anay ny rivotra, dia takon-drivotra tandrifin’ i Salmona izahay;
8 And with difficulty, after sailing about it, we arrived at a place called the Fair Havens, near to which was the city called Lassa.
ary nony sahirana nanara-morona izahay, dia tonga teo amin’ ny tany anankiray atao hoe Tsara-fitodian-tsambo; akaikin’ izany ny tanàna Lasea.
9 And we were there a long time, and till after the day of the Jewish fast. And it was hazardous then for any one to go by sea; and Paul counselled them,
Ary rehefa lany ny andro maro, sady sarotra ny fandehanan-tsambo tamin’ izany, satria efa afaka ny Andro Fifadiana, dia nananatra azy Paoly
10 and said: Men, I perceive that our voyage will be attended with peril, and with much loss, not only of the cargo of our ship, but also of our lives.
ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, hitako fa izao fandehanana izao dia hisy fahasimbana sy fatiantoka be ihany, ka tsy amin’ ny entana sy ny sambo ihany, fa ny aintsika koa aza.
11 But the centurion listened to the pilot, and to the owner of the ship, more than to the words of Paul.
Kanefa ny kapiteny nino ny mpitondra sy ny tompon-tsambo, fa tsy ny teny nolazain’ i Paoly.
12 And, because that harbor was not commodious for wintering in, many of us were desirous to sail from it, and if possible, to reach and to winter in a certain harbor of Crete, which was called Phenice, and which opened towards the south.
Ary satria ny fitodian-tsambo teo dia tsy tsara hitoerana amin’ ny ririnina, dia nataon’ ny maro fa tsara raha miala, fandrao mba ho tonga any Foiniksa ahay handany ny ririnina any; fitodian-tsambo any Kreta izany ka manatrika mianatsimo-andrefana sy mianavaratra-andrefana.
13 And when the south wind breezed up, and they hoped to arrive as they desired, we began to sail around Crete.
Ary raha nitsoka malemy ny rivotra avy any atsimo, ka nataony fa efa nahazo izay niriny izy, dia niala teo izy ka nandalo akaikikaikin’ i Kreta.
14 And shortly after, a tempest of wind arose upon us, called Typhonic Euroclydon.
Ary tsy ela rehefa afaka izany, dia nifofofofo nidina avy teo ny tafio-drivotra mahery atao hoe Eorakylona.
15 And the ship was whirled about by the wind, and could not keep head to it; and we resigned the ship to its power.
Ary raha nopaohin’ ny rivotra ny sambo ka tsy nahatoha azy, dia navelanay haveziveziny izy.
16 And when we had passed a certain island, called Cyra, we could hardly retain the boat.
Ary raha nandeha faingana nanara-morona ny nosy atao hoe Kaoda nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra izahay, dia saiky tsy nahazo ny salopy;
17 And after hoisting it on board, we girded the ship around the waist, and made it strong. And, because we were afraid of falling upon a precipice of the sea, we pulled own the sail; and so we drifted.
ary rehefa nakarina izany, dia novahorany manodidina ny sambo; ary natahotra izy, fandrao hihatra any amin’ ilay fasika mandrevo, dia nampidina ny lay, ka navelany handeha ho azy ny sambo.
18 And as the storm raged violently upon us, we the next day threw goods into the sea.
Ary raha nasian’ ny rivotra mafy izahay, dia nanariany ny entana nony ampitso;
19 And on the third day, with our own hands, we threw away the tackling of the ship.
ary nony ampitso’ io indray dia narian’ ny tànany ihany ny fanaka teo amin’ ny sambo;
20 And as the storm held on for many days, and as no sun was visible, nor moon, nor stars, all hope of our surviving was wholly cut off.
fa rehefa tsy hita ny masoandro na ny kintana hatramin’ ny andro maro, ary tsy kely ny rivotra izay namely, dia tsy nanantena ho voavonjy intsony izahay.
21 And as no one had taken a meal of food, Paul now stood up in the midst of them, and said: If ye had given heed to me, O men, we should not have sailed from Crete, and we should have been exempt from this loss and peril.
Ary rehefa tsy nihinan-kanina ela izy ireo, Paoly dia nitsangana teo afovoany ka nanao hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, tsara raha ho nihaino ahy ianareo ka tsy niala tany Kreta, mba tsy ho nahitana izao fahasimbana sy fatiantoka izao.
22 And now, I counsel you to be without anxiety; for not a soul of you will be lost, but only the ship.
Ary ankehitriny mananatra anareo aho mba hatoky; fa tsy hisy ho faty ianareo, fa ny sambo ihany no ho very.
23 For there appeared to me this night, the angel of that God whose I am, and whom I serve;
Fa nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra, Izay Tompoko sady tompoiko, nitsangana teo anilako halina
24 and he said to me: Fear not, Paul; for thou art yet to stand before Caesar; and, lo, God hath made a gift to thee of all them that sail with thee.
ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra, ry Paoly; fa tsy maintsy hitsangana eo anatrehan’ i Kaisara ianao; ary, indro, efa nomen’ Andriamanitra anao ny olona rehetra izay miaraka aminao.
25 Therefore, men, be ye courageous; for I confide in God, that it will be as was told to me.
Koa matokia, ry tompokolahy ô, fa mino an’ Andriamanitra aho fa ho tonga araka ny voalazany tamiko izany.
26 Yet we are to be cast upon a certain island.
Nefa tsy maintsy fefika ihany eo amin’ ny nosy anankiray isika.
27 And after the fourteen days of our roaming and tossing on the Adriatic sea, at midnight, the sailors conceived that they approached land.
Ary tamin’ ny alina fahefatra ambin’ ny folo, raha navezimbezina tany Adria izahay, nony namatonalina dia nataon’ ny matilo fa efa manakaiky tany izy;
28 And they cast the lead, and found twenty fathoms. And again they advanced a little, and they found fifteen fathoms.
dia nanaka-drano izy ka hitany fa faharoa-polo refy; ary nony nandrosoroso kokoa izy, dia nanaka-drano indray ka hitany fa fahadimy ambin’ ny folo refy.
29 And as we feared lest we should be caught in places where were rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern of the ship, and prayed for the morning.
Dia natahotra izahay, fandrao hidona amin’ ny harambato, ka dia nandatsaka vatofantsika efatra teo am-bodisambo ary naniry ny andro ho maraina.
30 And the sailors sought to flee out of the ship. And from it they lowered down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going in it to make fast the ship to the land.
Fa raha nitady handositra hiala tamin’ ny sambo ny matilo ka efa nampidina ny salopy teo amin’ ny ranomasina izy, nody handatsaka vatofantsika eo an-doha-sambo,
31 And when Paul saw it, he said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Unless these remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
dia hoy Paoly tamin’ ny kapiteny sy ny miaramila: Raha tsy mitoetra eto an-tsambo ireo, dia tsy azo vonjena ianareo.
32 Then the soldiers cut the boat rope from the ship, and let the boat go adrift.
Dia notapahin’ ny miaramila ny mahazaka rehetra tamin’ ny salopy, ka navelany ho latsaka.
33 And while it was not yet morning, Paul advised them all to take food, saying to them: In consequence of the peril, it is now the fourteenth day that ye have tasted nothing.
Ary raha mbola tsy nazava ny andro, dia niangavy tamin’ ny olona rehetra Paoly mba hihinan-kanina ka nanao hoe: Anio no fahefatra ambin’ ny folo andro niandrasanareo, sady nahari-noana ianareo ka tsy nihinana.
34 Therefore I entreat you, to take food for the sustenance of your life; for not a hair from the head of any of you, will perish.
Koa mananatra anareo aho hihinan-kanina, fa izany no isan’ ny hamonjena anareo; ary tsy hisy ho very aminareo rehetra na dia singam-bolo iray akory aza.
35 And having said these things, he took bread, and gave glory to God before them all; and he broke it, and began to eat.
Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy sady nandray mofo, dia nisaotra an’ Andriamanitra teo anatrehan’ ny olona rehetra; ary rehefa novakiny, dia nihinana izy.
36 And they were all consoled; and they took nourishment.
Dia nahazo toky izy rehetra ka nihinana koa.
37 And there were of us in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls.
Ary izahay rehetra teo anaty sambo dia olona enina amby fito-polo amby roan-jato.
38 And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship, and took the wheat and cast it into the sea.
Ary rehefa voky izy, dia nanariany ho any anaty ranomasina ny hanina mba hanamaivana ny sambo.
39 And when it was day, the sailors knew not what land it was: but they saw on the margin of the land an inlet of the sea; whither, if possible they intended to drive the ship.
Ary rehefa nazava ny andro, dia tsy nahalala ny tany izy, fa nahita helodrano anankiray tsara morona, ka teo no nokasainy hampidonana ny sambo, raha azony atao.
40 And they cut away the anchors from the ship, and left them in the sea. And they loosened the bands of the rudder, and hoisted a small sail to the breeze, and made way towards the land.
Ary rehefa nesoriny avokoa ny vatofantsika, dia navelany ho any an-dranomasina, ary novahany koa ny kofehin’ ny familian-tsambo dia namelatra ny lay anoloana izy ho azon’ ny rivotra ka nanatona ny tany.
41 And the ship struck upon a shoal between two channels of the sea, and stuck fast upon it. And the forward part rested upon it, and was immovable; but the after part was shattered by the violence of the waves.
Ary raha tonga tamin’ izay nisy fihaonan-dranomasina izy, dia navelany hidona tamin’ ny tany ny sambo; ary ny loha-sambo nihizina ka nitoetra tsy nihetsika, fa ny vodi-sambo kosa dia vakivaky azon’ ny herin’ ny onja.
42 And the soldiers were disposed to slay the prisoners; lest they should resort to swimming, and escape from them.
Ary ny miaramila nanao tetika hamono ny mpifatotra, fandrao hisy hilomano ireo ka ho afaka.
43 But the centurion kept them from it, because he was desirous to preserve Paul. And those who were able to swim, he commanded to swim off first, and pass to the land.
Fa ny kapiteny ta-hamonjy an’ i Paoly, dia nisakana azy tsy hanao izay nokasainy; fa izay nahay nilomano no nasainy hirotsaka aloha ka hilomano ho any amin’ ny tany,
44 And the rest, he made to transport themselves on planks, and on other timbers of the ship. And so they all escaped safe to land.
ary ny sisa dia samy hanao izay hahafaka azy, na amin’ ny hazo fisaka, na amin’ ny zavatra avy amin’ ny sambo. Dia tonga soa aman-tsara teny an-tanety avokoa izy rehetra.
