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’.
Itali ni daansoon kaat suh roongwaan kino, Pool nyia wahoh phaatak ni sakte loong ah mararah ah Room nok hah nawa arami saahaap Julius suh koh rumta, erah arami suh “Luuwanglong Regimeen ngeh ih men rumta.”
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.
Adramittiam dowa juukaari adi du kati, erah langla Esia hah dowa juukaari khoon chaptheng ko kaatte angta eno erah di daansoon kati. Mesidonia mih wasiit, Aristarkas ah Thesalonika nawa angta, heh uh seng damdi angta.
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].
Erah saalih adi Sidoon ni thokti. Julias ih Pool ah minchan eta, eno heh joon loong ah jiinni toom chosok rum ah ngeh ih wang thukta.
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].
Pong ih rapne eh mot heeno erah dowa Kaipras juuloot hah adi daansoon kati.
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].
Silisia nyia Pamphilia juusih ah daan eno Maira hah Lisia ko angta adi wang tahe.
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].
Erah di Elekjendar nawa juukaari ah Itali ni wangte angta, eno saahaap ah ih erah japtup ano duutong kaat thuk tahe.
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.
Seng loong reere ih daansoon eno sa hantek di Nindus samhah ah kanak eh thokti. Pong thoidi erah ko takah jen kati, erah raangtaan ih Salmone lam eh Kret juuloot hah adi daansoonti.
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].
Juukaang juukaang eh daan kah eno Sep Habor ngeh ih men rumta juukaari naangchap theng adi kanak rangthuk ih thok wangti. Erah Lasisa samhah dowa eh haloh tah angta.
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],
Erah di seng rekam tong eno, ju ni daan ah choophaan phaan eh angta, seng loong Khojoop Rangwu ah liin eta. Erah raangtaan ih Pool ih juukaari dowa saahaap loong asuh renbaat rumta:
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.”
“Mina loong, arah dowa ju nah daan bah cho ejih tup hang huikhaak thiintheng ah khoodaat eh ah eno seng roidong uh thoon eh ah.”
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.
Enoothong arami saahaap ah ih Pool jeng ah lalek boichaat thang ih; juukaari jopte nyia juukaari changte jeng ah boichaatta.
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].
Juukaari chaptheng ah hahook di taseeta; erah raangtaan ih miloong ah ehanko ah juusih dowa Phoeniks ni daansoon chung rumta, lek jen daan rum ah baleh, hahook doh Phoeniks nah tong suh ah. Phoeniks ah langla juukaari lomchap theng Kret ni angta Juukuh Juumeh eh angta.
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].
Juumeh ko nawa pong ah amasah phang pong kano, miloong ah ih thunta neng jen dokkhoom ekah ah ngeh ah, erah thoidi hetang bentheng jaankeng ah jaahoom rum ano Kret ko juukaang juukaang ih daansoon rumta.
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.”
Enoothong dokchap damdam eh pong ah rapne eh pongta, erah pong asuh “Juukuh saadong pong” ngeh ih li rumta, eno erah pong ah juuloot hah dowa eh datpong taha.
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.
Juukaari ah pong ih tangmotta, seng ih uh takah jook motsiitti, pong nawa ih heh soonsoon lan eh thukti.
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.
Juuloot adi hah ehinsah Kuada ngeh ih angta eno juulah ko kah idi, juukaari chap theng kok jeeta. Erah di, juukaari ah tangchap thuk suh rapne eh chamti.
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.
Juukaari ah tanghoom rum ano ru nawa ih kook tangkit rumta. Neng loong ah phisaang ni duusoon raacho eh Libia juukaang ko pong suh hesoon soon eh hengmot kaatthuk rumta.
Pong aphaat ah choophaan phaan ih pongroh eh kano, erah saalih adi huikhaak rukho ah juukaari dowa lamdat haat eh rumta,
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].
eno erah saalih adi juukaari ni maak theng jaan loong ah daat haat eh rumta.
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.
Sa hantek rangsa nyia ritsih uh tajap tupti, pong ah thidokdok ih pongroh eta. Seng uh epui eli ngeh ih takah laalomti.
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].
Miloong ah sa hantek samuh tong rumkano, Pool neng ngathong ni toonchap ano jengta, “Mina loong, nga jeng ah thaangchaat anno Kret nawa ladokchap dobah ese ang thengta; eno seng athan tachamnaang thengti nyia huikhaak uh taathet haat thengti.
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.
Bolam uh sen lasih jorum hala, nakcho an! Seng khoh sengseng abah tamake juukaari ah ba ethet eh ah.
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.
Ngah ih soomhang Rangte Kamwah muphe ra haano,
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].’
baat tahang, ‘Nakcho uh, Pool! An Luuwanglong ngathong nah chap jaatjaat etheng. Eno Rangte minchan doh an damdoh soonte loong ah uh epui eh ah.’
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
Miwah loong, erah raangtaan ih nakcho an! Nga Rangte erah baat tahang asuh laalom lang jun ih ju ang ah.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
Enoothong juuloot ehoko maako bah uh soonmot ekaat he.”
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.
Asih saabaji sa rangphe di, Mediteeren juusih ko eh soonmot kaat tahe. Rangphe thungkham di jopte loong ah ih hah thoksoon eli samthun rumta.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih ruh tuiba ni tiim ah tiim ejih jaat benrum ano juumong ni thaak daat haat rumta eno rookbaji teekho choong angta; erah lih adi weethaak rum ano teekho rookjom angta.
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].
Jongkhoh nah maalek duusoon ji o ngeh eh cho rumta, erah raangtaan ih juukaari liko dowa tangtuk theng jaankeng baji ah daat hoom rum ano rangwu raangtaan ih rangsoom rumta.
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.
Enoothong jopte loong ah hotsoon esuh taatchung rumta; khoonkhu saloong ah datthiin rum ano heh ngako ni tangtuk theng jaankeng ih tangbat arah likhiik diip reeraang rumta.
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.”
Enoothong Pool ih Arami Saahaap nyia heh sipaahi loong asuh baatta, “Juukaari khonah jopte lajeeka bah epui eh ang ngeh ih laalomjih tah angka.”
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Erah thoidi arami loong ah ih tangtuk eta ruh loong ah jaakhan rum ano heh soonsoon eh thuk rumta.
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.
Rangkhano angnanah di, Pool ih tiim ah tiim jam phaksat baat rumta: “Chiinnyah dowa ih sen loong ah asih sa baji angla, eno amadi uh tiim uh taphaksah kan.
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].”
Erah raangtaan ih, sen lasih jorum hala, tiim ah tiim jam phaksah an; elun esuh phak asat jam phaksat etheng. Sen khoroon tasiit taan uh tamah kan ang ah.”
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].
Erah jeng lidi, Pool ih baanlo ah toonpi ano, Rangte suh lakookmi li ano, chep hoom phakta.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
Erah dowa ih ba neng chaan kok dongta, eno loongtang ih jam phaksah rumta.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
Seng loong ah roop roop ih 276 mina tongti.
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.
Neng loong ah ih phoot phaksah rum ano, huichaang suh juukaari dowa wong ah ju ni lamset haat rumta.
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].
Rang ah wu ano, jopte loong ah ih hah ah maako ah tasamjat rumta, enoothong juusih kaang ah japtup rumta, neng ih thunta ese ang abah; juukaari ah phisaang khonah tangchap theng.
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.
Erah thoidi tangtuk theng jaankeng loong ah thakhan rum ano juusih ko lupdat kaat thuk rumta, erah damdam ih tangkit eh rumta ruh loong ah jaahaat. Eno pong asuh hengmot kaat thuk suh hengah ko lengmot etheng nyuh ah tangtin eh rumta, eno hekaang ko eh kati.
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.
Enoothong juukaari ah ih phisaang ah choksuh ano saanghook ni du soonta; hengah ko thut ano takah mi moseeta, helih ko ah juutak ih jopmotta.
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].
Arami loong ah ih phaatak ni sakta miloong ah, juukaang ko daanjaap rum ano phomoong soon rum ah ngeh ih tek haat esuh chung rumta.
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.
Enoothong arami saahaap ah ih Pool puipang suh li ano, tatek haat thuk rumta. Erah nang ebah, o o ah juujap miiha juukaang ko datpit rum ano daanjap baat rumta;
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.
wahoh loong asuh neng lilih ih, banglo nyia juukaari jopdaatta chep loong adoh joh ano daanjaap baat rumta. Eno seng loong ah juukaang ko emah daansoon eno kok puiti.
