Acts 27
1 When [the Governor and those who advised him] decided that it was time for us [(exc)] to get on a ship and go to Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners into the hands/care of an army captain whose name was Julius. [He was the one who would guard us on the journey]. Julius was [an officer] in charge of [a group of] 100 [soldiers that people called] ‘the Emperor Augustus Group’.
Bwiko ciyaka ko ki nyiki yang italiya ciin neken kange nubo kangembo furcina kang nii dur nub kwenebo ci co ti yuliya wo mor mwan Agustus ke.
2 So we got on a ship that had come from Adramyttium [city in Asia province. The ship] was going to [return there, stopping at] cities along the coast of Asia [province]. Aristarchus, [a fellow believer who was] from Thessalonica [city] in Macedonia [province], went with us.
Nyin doken nabire mwenge mor Adramatiya, wo ywel bwiti na cii ya bidom kange cunga wima ko Anciya. La nyi yaken mor wima Aristakus wo Tasalonika mor Makidoniya cin yaken kange nyo.
3 The day after [the ship sailed], we arrived at Sidon [city]. Julius kindly told Paul that he could go and see his friends [who lived there], so that they could give him whatever he might need. [So Paul visited the believers there].
Cel fini ceri nyi yiram cinanlor sidom, fiye wo Yuliyas nung Bulus nin neer lumare la cin dobco naci ya farub cebo nen di naci yo toka ceko.
4 Then the ship left [Sidon], but the winds were blowing against us [(exc)], so [the ship] went along [the north] side of Cyprus [Island], the side that is sheltered [from the wind].
Nyi kweni wiri nyin doken mor Wima ri nyon yaken kong mwenge kubruce, wori yuwa ko ne nyo dotange ti.
5 After that, we crossed over the sea close to the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia [provinces. The ship] arrived at Myra [city, which is] in Lycia [province]. [We got off the ship there].
Ki kwama nyi yabken wima nyi yabken dinge kilikiya kange Bamfiliya nyim la mira, cinan loro Liciya.
6 In Myra, [people told] Julius that a ship [was there that had come] from Alexandria [city] and would [soon] sail to Italy. So he arranged for us to get [on that ship], [and we left].
Wii niii nabire nob kwenebo fiya nabire mwenge wo bou Takendariya ri, a yaken ti Italiya cin more ce.
7 We sailed slowly for several days and finally arrived close to the coast [of Asia province], near Cnidus [town. After that], the wind [was very strong and] did not allow the ship to move straight ahead [westward. So instead], we sailed [southward] along the side of Crete [Island that is] sheltered [from the wind], and we passed [near Cape] Salmone.
Kambo nyi yakenti kumeni kila nyi yaken biluma, la ki cuile gwam ri nyin lam ki dotange bidom kange cinindu ri la yuwa ko dob nyo bo tak nanyi bwangten cunga ko cou, nyin yaken cunga ko ci kicimkice bidom kange karita bidom kange Salmani.
8 [The wind was still strong, and it prevented the ship from moving ahead fast]. So we moved slowly along the coast [of Crete], and we arrived at a harbor that was called Fair Havens, near Lasea [town].
Nyi yaken cunga konge ki dotange, nyimde nyi bow fiye kange cou ti ki fiye turangka ko ken, wo bidom kange la ciya.
9 Much time had passed, so it would have been dangerous if we [(exc)] had traveled [farther] by ship [because after that time of the year] [MTY] [the sea often became very stormy]. So Paul said to the men [on the ship],
na weu nyin tu kumeni kila, la kwama ngag ngake Yuahadwa cum, la naweu yambo yilam ki tai la Bulus werang ci
10 “Men, I perceive that [if we(inc) travel by ship] now, it will be disastrous for us. A storm may destroy the ship and the cargo, and possibly we will drown.”
Ciki, Nubo matori yambo wo bi ter tiyeu atin yilam ki nuwa ka twirak kange le-ka dikerek duce, kebo kawo kwilendo ceu kange nabire mwenge, dila kange dume beuken.
11 But the officer [did not listen to] what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the pilot [of the ship] and the owner of the ship advised.
La nii na bire nub kwenebo cuwa tu ka diiir teluwe kange nuu nabire mwengeko nin la cuwa bo ker Bulus cero nin.
12 The harbor where the ship had stopped was not a good place to remain during the winter [when the weather frequently becomes stormy. So most of the people on the ship decided that we(exc) should leave there, because they hoped that we] could stay at Phoenix [port] during the winter, if we could possibly arrive there. That harbor was open to the sea in two directions, [but the strong winds did not blow there].
Wori fiye tuka kwilenek na bire mwenge ko bwei yim wiki cukakiya ri nob kwobka nabire mwengeko duce tok ki ciya dubom fiye cou la tano cwika fiyaka ri bi lam cinar lo finikiya, nabi yim (wa kiyauwi). La finikiya co fiye tii mwe nabire mwnege mor karita, wo to kwasalmen ti kange mar to me tiye.
13 Then a gentle wind began to blow [from the south], and the [crew members] thought that they could travel as they had decided [to do. So] they lifted [the anchor up out of the sea], and the ship sailed [westward] along the [southern] shore of Crete [Island].
Kambo yuwa bange ko ter cu kako kibi luma ri, nubo kwob nabire mwenge ko tiyeu kwabi neer cer ki ciin fiyam dikero cii cwi tiyeu. Dila ciin cukum duka nabirek mwnegeko la ciin bwangten cunga ko karita bidom kange kong mwenge ko
14 But after a while, a wind that was very strong blew across the island [from the north side and hit the ship. That wind was called] {[People] called that wind} “the Northeast Wind.”
La fiyaco bi duwar di yuwako kwani nyeu wo cii cuwa tiki yuro kilidom yoten buk nyo ti diyelenen.
15 It blew strongly against the [front of] the ship. The result was that we could not keep going in the direction [in which we had been going]. So the sailors let the wind move the ship in the direction [that the wind] was blowing.
kambo nabire mwengeu fweki cukako fiye ki yuwa wori yuwa ko lambi kwan ceredi, nyin bwang ten nur yuwau.
16 The ship then passed a small island named Cauda. We passed along the side [of the island that] sheltered [the ship from the wind]. Then [while the ship was moving along], the sailors lifted the lifeboat up [out of the water] and tied it [on the deck. But the strong wind made it] difficult even to do that.
La nyin bwnagten fiye nyi fiyam cerka ko diyele bi duware coti ki kauda, la ki dotange nyi bwam nabire bi duware bwi durko nen.
17 After the sailors [hoisted/lifted] the lifeboat onto the ship, they tied ropes around the ship’s hull to strengthen the ship. The sailors were afraid that, [because the wind was pushing the ship], it might run onto the sandbanks off the coast of Libya to the south [and get stuck there. So] they lowered the largest sail [so that the ship would move slower. Even so], the wind continued to move the ship along. [The wind and the waves] continued to toss the ship about roughly, so on the next day the sailors began to throw overboard the things that the ship was carrying.
Kambo cii kongum nabire mwenge bi duware dii yeri, ciin ma nangen ki duka ceko ri ciin bwam bwi nabireko durko cuko. Taito tamci ki cukum dikero a tam nabire ti dor mwengere dila nyin bwang tenti.
Nyin nuwa dotange ducce ki yuwa mwengek wo ki celfiniceri ciin ter cutangka kwileneko wo mor nabire mwengenen wii.
19 On the third [day after the stormy wind had begun to blow], the sailors/we [MTY] threw overboard [most of] the sails, ropes, and poles, [in order to make the ship lighter].
Ki kume taar ri nob nangenebo mor nabire mwengeu cutang kwilendo mor mnabire wi ki kang cek.
20 The wind continued to blow very strongly, [and the sky was full of dark clouds] day and night. We could not see the sun or the stars for many days, [so we could not determine where we were. And the wind] continued to blow violently. So we [(exc)] finally thought that we would drown in the sea.
kambo nyi to bo filang kakukek kaka bitiren kume taare ri, yoka nereko ki nyan fiya ceer kau cerum nyinen.
21 None of us on the ship had eaten for many days. [Then one day], Paul stood up in front of us and said, “[Friends], you should have listened to me [when I said] that we [(inc)] should not sail from Crete. Then we would have been safe, and the ship and its cargo would be in good condition [LIT].
kambo cii ya yambo kwitan cari mani yeri, Bulus kweni tiber nob nangeneb nabire mwengeko ri ciki, “nubo, nakin kom cuwa tu kermiro nen, bi kwenu bo karitari no biki fiyabo twirako buro kange leka kwileko.
22 But now, I urge you, do not be afraid, because none of us will die. [The storm] will destroy the ship but not us.
Na weu miyi komnti ko yilam ki birom nerem wori nii mania bwiyati more kume dila ka nabire mwenge bi lem tiye.
23 I [know this], because last night God, the one to whom I belong and whom I serve, [sent] an angel [who came and] stood by me.
wori wo min naceu, wo mi wabti takeu bwe tomange ceu tii cunga miik.
24 The angel said to me, ‘Paul, do not be afraid! You [(sg)] must [go to Rome] and stand before the Emperor there [so that he can judge you]. I want you to know that God has made it clear to me that all those who are traveling by ship with you [will also survive].’
La ciki cware tai, Bulus tam nyo mwanti kabum kaisar re. la to, kwama mor jire duwece neken gwam nubo wo yaken wari kange mweu.
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
La nyori ko yilam k bikwan neeret nubo, wori min ne bilenke kwama nen atin yilam nawo ci yiyereu.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
La batin cwa bi kangtangi kange Island.
27 On the fourteenth night [after the storm had begun, the ship] was still being blown {the wind was still blowing [the ship]} across the Adriatic sea. About midnight, the sailors sensed that the ship was getting close to land.
Kambo kume kwobcilombo naareu dimeri, la cii tung nyo fou kange firen mor wima ko adriyate, ki ciin kume ri nubo fu nabire mwenge tiyeu kwabi ki ciin dadum kange bitine Kange.
28 So they lowered [a weight on a rope] to measure how deep [the water was]. When they pulled the rope up again, they measured it and saw that the water was (120 ft./37 meters) deep. They went a little farther and lowered the rope again. [That time], they saw that the water was [only] about (90 ft./28 meters) deep.
Kambo cii cuwa ri, cii fiya nako kwini yob kambo kakten biduwar di ci cuwa ten di nako kwob cilumbo nung.
29 They were afraid that the [ship] might go onto some rocks, so they threw out four anchors from the [ship’s] stern/back and continued to wish/pray that it would soon be dawn [so that they could see where the ship was going].
Cin tum tai ki kangeri ciyan kwiti teer, la ciin curken duka ko ciin komti cikeu naar cwile nabire mwenge nen, cin kwob dilo fini a celum wulom.
30 Some of the sailors were planning to escape from the ship, so they lowered the lifeboat into the sea. In order [that no one would know what they planned to do], they pretended [that] they wanted to lower some anchors from the [ship’s] front/bow.
Nob nangeneb nabire mwengebo do nure ciya dubom nabire tiye ri ciin merken nabire mwengeu biduwareu mor wima. ciin mani namwi ci yan merangken duka ko kangembo wo mor nabire mwenge kabum nabire ko nen.
31 But Paul said to the army officer and soldiers, “If the sailors do not stay in the ship, you have no hope of being saved.”
Dila Bulus yi nii dur nob kwenebo kange tangum cembo “No nubo buro mani a tim ti mor nabire, msni ciys fiya cerka ti.”
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Dila nob kwenebo mwatum dukako cinn dubti yuram.
33 Just before dawn, Paul urged everyone [on the ship] to eat some food. He said, “For the past 14 days you have been waiting and watching and not eating anything.
Kambo fini ter celkakeri Bulus kenci gwam cia can carito. ciki Diye wo co diye kwobcillumbo naareu wo kom mor curka, la kom cabo cari.
34 So, [now] I urge you to eat some food. We [(inc)] need to do that in order to stay alive. I [tell you to do that because I know that] none of you will drown [IDM].”
La mi kinong komti, kom cam carito wori cerka kume ko lam, kange kume mani wiin wo a le yere dore cetiye”.
35 After Paul had said that, while everyone was watching, he took some bread and thanked God [for it. Then he broke the bread and began to eat some of it].
Bwiko ci tok kero wari ciin tu carito la ciin bu kwama nen kang, ciin duwa carito cin yo cakako.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
Dila gwam ce ciin fiya bikwan neret ri ciin tu carito ken.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
Nubo kwini kwob yob turdo kwini niber cilumbo nuukkun ki dume tini nabire mwenge nen.
38 When everyone had eaten as much as they wanted, they threw the grain [that the ship was carrying] into the sea, and this made the ship lighter.
Kambo cica ci bwameri, cin filam ten ki nabire mwengeu,
39 At dawn, [we(exc) could see] land, [but the sailors] did not recognize [the place]. However, they could see that there was a bay and [a wide area of] sand at the water’s edge. They planned that, if it was possible, they would steer the ship onto [the beach].
Kambo fini celumeri ci nyombo bitineu dila ciin to kum ki konge la ciin tokkangi bwiti no ci yan yila ki nabire mwengeu wiri.
40 [So some of the sailors] cut the anchor [ropes and] let the anchors fall into the sea. At the same time, [other sailors] untied the [ropes that] fastened the rudders, [so that they could steer the ship again]. Then [the sailors] raised the sail at the front/bow of the ship so that the wind [would blow the ship forward], and the ship headed towards the shore.
La ciin mwatum duka ceko ri ciin dobti mor wima. ki kwama co wiin ciin kwim dukako, yila nabire tiyeu. Dila nabire mwengeu kwiti dor yabum cerum cereu. kambum cembo ywiken wi, la mor kwita kako mani la bi kwan mwelka mani.
41 But the ship hit a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck there and could not move, and big waves beat against the back of the ship and it began to break apart.
cin bou fiye wo cajiyo yob mwerkangummeu, la na bire mwenge doken mor yabume. Tangum nabire mwengeu ywiken wi la mani yayamti, La cunga ko ki kyarangi ki mwembo mwelangtieu.
42 The soldiers said [to one another, “Let’s] kill [all] the prisoners [on the ship], so that they will not [be able to] swim [away and] escape.” [They planned to do that because they were sure] that officials [would order them to be executed if they let the prisoners escape].
La nob kwenebo ci naci twallum nob furcinabo kari kange kwa mwembo cwalem.
43 But [Julius], the army captain, wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from doing what they planned to do. Instead, he [commanded] first that everyone who could swim should jump into the water and swim to land.
dila nii dur cero cwi naci cer ki Bulus la cin tim ki dikero cii cui makau, nubo nyumom kwaka mwengek la cin mwabken mor mwenge cin yabken konge.
44 [Then he told] the others [to hold] onto planks or pieces from the ship [and go towards shore. We(exc) did what he said, and] in that way all of us arrived safely on land.
Dila tangnum bayilobo na bwangten kange dor bwatiyer kangembo dor nabire nen. Ki nurewo, la gwam nye nyin beken kwamer bitine.
