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’.
Bho jhiamulibhu kujha twilondeka kusafiri kwa masi kulota Italia, bhan'kabidhi Paulo ni bhafungwa bhangi kwa afisa mmonga bhwa jeshi la Kiroma jhaakutibhweghe Julio, ghwa kikosi kya Agustani.
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.
Twakweli meli kuhoma Adramitamu, ambajho jhajhele isafiriajhi mundemandema jha pwani jha Asia. Hivyo tukajhingila baharini. Aristaka kuhoma Thesolanike jha Makedonia akalota pamonga ni tete.
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].
Ligono lyalakesisi tukasopa nanga mu mji bhwa Sidoni, ambapo Julio ambombili Paulo kwa ukarimu ni kunduhusu kulota kwa bharafiki zake kupokela ukarimu bhwa nene.
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].
Kuhoma api tokalota mu bahari twasafiri kusyongoka kisiwa kya Kipro ambakyo kya k'engibhu ni m'pongo, kwa ndabha m'pongo utusumbuleghe.
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].
Baada jha kusafiri mmasi kalibu ni Kilikia ni Pamfilia, tukahida Mira, mji bhwa Lisia.
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].
Pala jhola afisa ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma, ajhikolili meli kuhoma Alexandria ambajho jhilondeghe kusafiri kulota Italia. Akatukwesya mugati.
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.
Baada jha kusafiri molimoli kwa magono mingi ni hatimaye twfikili kwa tabu karibu ni Kinidas, m'pongo ghwa turuhusuili lepi kabhele kulota njela ejhu hivyo twasafiri mundemandema jha kivuli kya Krete khoni twikikenga mp'ongo, mkabala ni Salmone.
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].
Twasafiri mundemandem jha pwani kwa ukakatafu, mpaka tukafika mahali papakutibhu Fari Haveni ambajho ijhele karibu ni mji bhwa Lasi.
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],
Twatolili muda umelele muni, ni muda bhwa mfungo ghwa Kiyahudi ghwajhele umalikupea kabhele, na henu jhajhele ni hatari kujhendelela kusafiri. Hivyo Paulo akatuonya,
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.”
ni kujobha, “Bhagosi, nibhona safari jha twilonda kulota ejhe ni madhara ni hasara simehele, siyo tu jha misighu ni meli, lakini ni jha maisha gha jhotu.”
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.
Lakini afisa ghwa jeshi la Kiroma akampelekesya zaidi bwana ghwa muene ni mmiliki ghwa meli, kuliko mambo ghala ghaghalongelibhu ni Paulo.
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].
Kwandabha bandari jhajhelepi sehemu rahisi kutama wakati bhwa mepu, mabaharia bhingi bhashauriri tusafiriajhi kuhoma pala, ili kwa namna jhejhioha tubhwesiajhi kubhufikila mji bhwa Foinike, tutamayi pala bhwakati bhwa mepu. Foinike ndo bandari okhu Krete, na jhilola kaskazini mashariki ni kusini mashariki.
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].
Mp'ongo ghwa kusini bho bhujhendili kubhuma molimoli, mabaharia bhakafikirira kujha bhamalili kukabha kya bhakilondeghe. Bhakajhonja nanga ni kusafiri mundemandema jha Krete karibu ni pwani.
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.”
Lakini baada jha muda mfupi mp'ongo n'kali, bhwabhukutibhweghe bhwa kaskazini mashariki, ukajhanda kututobha kuhoma kwiselya jha kisiwa.
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.
Wakati meli ijhelemibhu ni kushindwa kubhukali mp'ongo, tukajhedekelana ni hali ejhu, tukasafirisibhwa nabhu.
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.
Tukajhumba kup'etela lubhafu lwa luukingighe mp'ongo bhwa kisiwa kyakikutibhweghe Kauda; ni kwa taabu sana twafanikibhu kuokola bhwatu.
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.
Baada jha kujha bhabhufutili, bhatumili ngojhi kuuk'onga meli. Bhatileghe kujha ngatubhwesi kulota ku lieneo lya n'sanga ghumehele lya Syiti, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga na bhagendesibhu mundemandema.
Twatobhibhu kwa nghofu sana ni linyegha, hivyo ligono lyalyifwatili mabaharia bhakajhanda kusopa misighu kuhoma mu meli.
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].
Ligono lya tatu, mabaharia bhakayanda kup'omba masi kwa mabhoko gha bhene.
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.
Wakati ambapo lijobh ni litondo syatumuliki lepi kwa magono mingi, bado linyegha libhaha lyatutobhili, ni matumaini kujha tubetakuokolibhwa ghabhokili.
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].
Baada jha kujha bhalotili muda mrefu bila kyakulya, apu Paulo akajhema pagati pa mabaharia akajobha, “Bhagosi, mlondekeghe mnip'elekesiajhi, ngatubhokilepi kuhoma Krete, ili kukabha agha madhara ni hasara.
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 henu nikabhafariji mkipelayi muoyo, kwa ndabha kubetalepi kujha ni upotefu bhwa maisha kati jha muenga, isipokujha hasara jha meli tu.
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.
Kwa ndabha kiru kya kilotili malaika ghwa K'yara, ambajhe K'yara ojhu nene ne ghwa muene, ni ambajhe nikamwabudi kabhele - malaika ghwa muene ajhemili palubhafu pa nene
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].’
ni kujobha, “Usitili Paulo. Lazima ujhemayi palongolo Kaisari, na langayi, K'yara ku bhunofu bhwa muene akupelili abha bhoha ambabho bhisafiri pamonga ni bhebhe.
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
Efyo, bhagosi, mukipelayi muoyo, kwandabha nikan'kier K'yara, kujha ibetakujha kama kyanibhajobhili.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
Lakini lazima tulamatayi kwa kutobhibhwa mu baadhi jha fisibhwa.”
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.
Bho ufikili kiru kya kumi na nne, bho twigendesibhwa okhu ni okhu mu bahari jha Adratik, kama kiru kya manane naha, mabaharia bhafikirileghe kujha bhikaribila kundema.
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.
Bhatumili milio kup'ema kina kya masi nabhakabhaka mita thelathini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na saba.
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].
Bhatilili kujha bhibhwesya kugonga miamba, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga sinchenche kuhomela sehemu jha lukhela jhihidayi manyata.
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.
Bhala mabaharia bhakajha bhilonda bhaselisi maboti mu masi madebemadebe gha kuokolela maisha, na bhakajha bhikifuanya bhisopa nanga pa sehemu jha palongolo jha liboti.
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.”
Lakini Paulo akan'jobhela jhola askari ghwa jeshi la Kiroma ni bhala askari, “Mwibhwesya lepi kuokoka isipokujha bhanu abha bhibakila mu meli”.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Kisha askari bhala bhakadumula mighojhi jha liboti ni kujhileka jhitolibhwayi ni masi.
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.
Wakati mwanga ghwa lukhela ghwihoma, Paulo akabhasihi bhoha angalau bhala bhadebe. Akajobha, “Ejhe ligono lya kumi na nne mwilendela bila kulya mlilepi khenu.
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].”
Hivyo nikabhasihi mtolayi kyakulya kidebe, kwandabha ejhe kwandabha jha kuishi kwa muenga; na lujhelepi hata lujhusili lumonga pamitu ghya jhomu lwalibetakujhagha.
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].
Abhoamali kujobha aghu, akalota n'kate akan'shukuru K'yara palongolo jha mihu gha khila munu. Kisha akaumetula n'kate akajhanda kulya.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
Kisha bhoha bhakapelibhwa muoyo na bhene bhakalota kyakulya.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
Twajhele bhanu 276 mugati mu meli.
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.
Bho bhalili fya kutosha, bhaibhombi meli mbepe kwa kutagha ngano mu masi.
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].
Bhojhifikiri pamusi, bhajhitambuili lepi kundema, lakini bhakabhona sehemu jha kundema jhajhingili mmasi jhajhijhele ni n'sanga mwingi. bhakajadiliana kama bhibhwesya kugendesya meli kulota apu.
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.
Hivyo bhakesihobhosya nanga bhakasileka mmasi. Katika muda bhobhuobhu bhakasihobhosya mighojhi jha nanga ni kujhijhinula sehemu jha palongolo kulotela ku mp'ongo, hivyo bhakalota sehemu jha nsanga bhumehele.
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.
Lakini bhakahida mahali ambapo miela mibhele ghya masi ghibhonana, ni meli jhikalota kun'sanga. Ni jhela sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhakwamili pala na jhabhwesilepi kubhoka, lakini sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhikajhanda kudumuka kwa ndabha jha ukali ghwa manyegha.
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].
Mpango ghwa bhala askari bhwajhele kubhakoma bhafungwa, ili kwamba ajhelepi ambajhe ngaasoghili ni kutoroka.
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.
Lakini jhola askari ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma alondeghe kumwokola Paulo, hivyo akabhujhemeka mpango bhwa bhene; ni kubhaamuru bhala ambabho bhibhwesya kusogha, bharukayi kuhoma mu meli hoti na bhalotayi kundema.
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.
Kisha bhagosi bhamana bhakakesya, bhangi panani pa fenu fenge kuhoma mu meli. Kwa njela ejhe jhatokili bhoha twibeta kufika kinofu kundema.
