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’.
Basa ma, hofernor Festus naꞌetuꞌ fo haitua Paulus nisiꞌ mane monaeꞌ Keser sia Roma, fo naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea na sia naa. Ana fee Paulus, no atahori bui feaꞌ ra, risiꞌ malangga soldꞌadꞌu esa, naran Yulius, fo ro se risiꞌ nusaꞌ Italia. Yulius ia, malangga monaeꞌ esa mia soldꞌadꞌu mana manea kaiser.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, au (Lukas) tungga o Paulus. Ma toronooꞌ esa fai, nara na Aristarkus, o tungga boe. Eni, atahori Makedonia mia kota Tesalonika. Basa hai sae ofaꞌ esa mana nema mia kota Adrimitium. Rafadꞌe rae, ofaꞌ ia neu tuli mamanaꞌ naeꞌ sia nusaꞌ Asia.
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].
Boe ma, hai lao hela Kaisarea. Mbilaꞌ neu ma, hai losa kota Sidꞌon. Malangga soldꞌadꞌu Yulius tao Paulus no maloleꞌ, ma nafadꞌe e oi, bisa muu seꞌu nonoo mara sia madꞌaꞌ ata. Nae taꞌo naa fo, ara bisa fee Paulus saa-saa fo ana parlu sia tasiꞌ ata.
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].
Basa de, hai hene seluꞌ ofaꞌ, de lao. Te anin mataꞌ a, monae na seli, de ofaꞌ a naeꞌ a nda laliꞌ sa. Ara rauli ofaꞌ, de lao tungga pulu Siprus no rae Siria taladꞌa na, fo ofaꞌ a nenebambiꞌ.
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].
Mia naa, hai lao tungga tasiꞌ sia nusaꞌ Kilikia no Pamfilia mataꞌ. Hai mikindoo misiꞌ kota Mira, sia nusa Likia. Losa naa ma, hai onda lao hela ofaꞌ a.
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].
Malangga soldꞌadꞌu Yulius sangga ofa feaꞌ mana nae lao mia Mira nisiꞌ Italia neu. Ana hambu ofaꞌ esa, nema mia kota Aleksandria, nae lao Italia neu. De ana denu basa hai, hene ofaꞌ ata mi.
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.
Hai lao fai hira te, ofaꞌ a naeꞌ a nda laliiꞌ sa, huu ani mataꞌ a, monaen seli. Hai lao no sususa maeꞌ a losa kota Knidus. Te anin feꞌe seli, de hai lao nggero misiꞌ a pulu Kreta, fo nenebambiꞌ mia anin a. Basa de, hai tungga tonggoꞌ esa, nara na 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].
Hai lao no sususaꞌ tungga tonggoꞌ naa, tunggaꞌ a pulu Kreta tasi suu na. Dei de, hai feꞌe losa mamanaꞌ esa, nara na Namo Maloleꞌ. Mamanaꞌ naa, deka no kota Lasea.
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],
Atahori ofaꞌ ra hahae mbei sia naa, huu hai sae ofaꞌ dooꞌ na seli ena, te nda feꞌe losa Italia sa. Leleꞌ naa, atahori Yahudi ra fai monae na, fo roꞌe rae, Fai Hambu Ambon Mia Sala-Singgoꞌ, seli ena. Sosoa na, fai ree-anin nae losa. Boe ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra ratane rae mae sae ofaꞌ mikindoo, do hokoꞌ. Paulus rena nala ma, ana oi,
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.”
“Toronoo nggare. Au ae olaꞌ mbei. Mete ma hita sae ofaꞌ takandoo, naa, hambu sususaꞌ naeꞌ. Afiꞌ losa ofaꞌ a molo, ma mopo saa-saa ra, ma hita o mate boe.”
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.
Te malangga soldꞌadꞌu a nda nau rena Paulus sa. Ana namahereꞌ a joragan, no tenu ofaꞌ a, huu ara rae lao hela mamanaꞌ naa.
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].
Sia Namo Maloleꞌ naa, ofaꞌ ra nafu nda maloleꞌ sa sia fai rii-ree. Dadꞌi sira naeꞌ nauꞌ a lao mikindoo, misiꞌ kota Feniks. Ara ramahena, mete ma bisa, naa, basa hai leo sia naa, losa fai rii-ree ia basa. Feniks naa, namo maloleꞌ sia pulu Kreta, huu nenebambiꞌ mia ani muri-onas no muri-dis, ma nda hambu ree monaeꞌ sa.
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].
Leleꞌ ani onas koe-koe ma, ara rae neꞌo sira bisa pake anin naa fo lao risiꞌ Feniks. De rafadꞌe rae, “Ia, ani maloleꞌ. Ata lao leo!” Ara botiꞌ naka, ma lea laar, de hai laoꞌ tunggaꞌ a tasi suu na.
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.”
Hai lao nda dooꞌ sa ma, aibꞌoiꞌ ma sanggu anin losa. (Atahori oi, ‘ani timu-dis’). Anin naa fuu ofaꞌ a nendi nisiꞌ tasiꞌ a taladꞌa na. Atahori ofaꞌ ra nda rauli rala ofaꞌ sa, de tunggaꞌ a anin a.
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.
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.
Hai laa-laa tungga ree ra, losa deka mo pulu anaꞌ esa, nara na Kauda. Leleꞌ naa, jukun na feꞌe nenepaꞌaꞌ sia ofa moko a deaꞌ. De hai lea jukun naa mitaꞌ mamate mara ofaꞌ ata neu.
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.
Jukun a losa ofaꞌ ata ma, ara fefeoꞌ taliꞌ ndule ofaꞌ ao na, fo afiꞌ losa papa nara huꞌa, ma ofaꞌ a molo. Ara o ramatau, afiꞌ losa ree ra mbembesiꞌ ofaꞌ a fo ana hara sia saraꞌae Sirtis sia Afrika. De ara raꞌondaꞌ naka mana doko-doko tasiꞌ ralan, raꞌakukuraꞌ ofaꞌ a lalao na.
Anin monaeꞌ naa, humbu hai ofa ma dii-ona neu. De mbilaꞌ neu ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra nggari sudꞌi a saa ruma tasiꞌ rala reu.
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].
Fini esa na fai, ani monaeꞌ feꞌe seli. De ara boe ramatau. Naa de, ara nggari seluꞌ sudꞌi a saa ra tasiꞌ rala reu, fo ofaꞌ a namanggafa ofaꞌ a. Ofaꞌ saa-saa nara o, atahori ofaꞌ ra nggari se.
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.
Hatuꞌ-rerelon ani monaeꞌ naa nda naloeꞌ mbei saꞌ boe losa fai hira. Lume-masu namafau, de hai nda mita relo no nduuꞌ sa. Basa hai masaloe, mae neꞌo nda misodꞌa sa ena.
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].
Fai hira ia ra, hai nda mia-minu saa saꞌ boe. De Paulus noꞌe nala basa hai, de ana olaꞌ oi, “Toronoo nggaree! Sobꞌa hei tungga oꞌola ngga fo afiꞌ lao hela Namo Maloleꞌ a, naa, hita nda hambu susa basa ia sa, ma nda runggi saa saꞌ boe.
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.
Te ia naa, au oꞌe basa hei fo miꞌimamateꞌ rala mara. Dei fo hita ofa na ia nambalutu. Te afiꞌ mimitau, huu atahori esa o, nda mate saꞌ boe.
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.
Naa fo basa hei bubꞌuluꞌ au ia, Lamatualain atahori Na, ma au hambu ue-tataos mia E. Tembaꞌ a, Ana denu ate Na esa mia sorga, nambariiꞌ mia bobꞌoa ngga. Ana nafadꞌe au nae,
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].’
‘Paulus! Afiꞌ mumutau saaꞌ boe. Dei fo musi muu mundaa mo mane monaeꞌ sia Roma fo ana nggero dedꞌea ma. Lamatualain rala malole Na neu nggo, naa de Ana tao nasodꞌa basa atahori mana sia ofaꞌ ata ia ra.’
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
Dadꞌi toronoo nggare. Hei afiꞌ masaloe. Au umehere tebꞌe saa fo Lamatualain nafadꞌe au tembaꞌ a, dei fo dadꞌi taꞌo naa.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
Te dei fo ofaꞌ ia laa-laa nisiꞌ pulu esa.”
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.
Leleꞌ naa, ree-anin poꞌa naꞌamiminaꞌ ofaꞌ a, de hai laa-laa fai sanahulu haa ena mia tasi Adria. Te mbei ma fai banggi rua na ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra medꞌa na hai deka mo madꞌaꞌ ata ena.
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.
Ara dou oeꞌ a rae rahine oeꞌ a roroma na. Ara uku ma, ree rua nulu. Ofaꞌ a mata neu mbei ma, ara dou seluꞌ oeꞌ a, de hambu oeꞌ a roroma na, ree sana hulu lima.
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].
Basa se ramatau, afiꞌ losa ofaꞌ a hara neu fatu mbiaꞌ. Dadꞌi raꞌondaꞌ naka deaꞌ ra haaꞌ se. Ma basa hai hule-huleꞌ, fo manggarelo lai-lai.
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.
Te atahori ofaꞌ ra rala ralaꞌ sa, fo rae rela hela ofaꞌ a nenee. De raꞌondaꞌ jukun, tao onaꞌ rae raꞌondaꞌ naka mataꞌ ra.
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.”
Te Paulus nafadꞌe dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakaꞌ nara neu malangga soldꞌadꞌu no soldꞌadꞌu nara nae, “Mete ma atahori ofaꞌ ra nda rahani ofaꞌ ata sa, naa mate basa hei.”
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Ara rena Paulus olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, soldꞌadꞌu ra edi-etu jukun tali na, de hela e laa-laa. De atahori ofaꞌ ra nda rela rala sa.
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.
Reorendu ma, Paulus kokoe basa atahori ra fo raa-rinu. Ana oi, “Nggarei rua ia, hita endoꞌ a, ma hule-huleꞌ a, no nda taa-tinu saa saꞌ boe.
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].”
Dadꞌi au oꞌe fo ata taa-tinu mbei dei, naa fo ata maꞌadere baliꞌ. Au umuhere ae, hita esa nda mate saꞌ boe. Basa hita tasodꞌaꞌ.”
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].
Paulus olaꞌ basa ma, ana haꞌi roti, ma hule-oꞌe mbali Lamatualain sia basa se mata nara. Basa ma, ana haꞌi nala potoꞌ esa, de naa.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
Ara rita taꞌo naa ma, rala nara manggatee baliꞌ, ma ara tungga raa boe. Basa hai mana sia ofaꞌ ata, atahori natun rua hitu nulu nee. Basa hai mia.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
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.
Hai mia miꞌibeta ma, ara nggari hendi karon are-gandum tasiꞌ rala neu, fo ramanggafa seluꞌ ofaꞌ fai.
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].
Manggarelo ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra rita madꞌa ata. Te ara nda ritaꞌ rae, naa, pulu bee saꞌ boe. Ara rita retaan esa, de ramahena rae, mete ma bisa, rendi ofaꞌ tungga fatu mbiaꞌ ra sia tasiꞌ naa, fo risiꞌ retaan naa.
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.
De ara edi-etu tali naka ra sia tasi, ma raꞌondaꞌ uli a, fo neuli ofaꞌ a. Ara lea laa anaꞌ mana sia mataꞌ, fo anin nendi ofaꞌ a retaan neu.
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.
Te ofaꞌ a sara dai mbuku saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasiꞌ a rala, de hara sia naa, nda naꞌaundaꞌ saa. Boe ma, ree monaeꞌ a popoꞌa nambalutu ofaꞌ a deaꞌ.
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].
Soldꞌadꞌu ra rita taꞌo naa ma, ara rae tao risa atahori bui ra. Ara ramatau, afiꞌ losa atahori bui ra, nane madꞌaꞌ ata reu, fo rela.
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.
Te malangga soldꞌadꞌu Yulius ai soldꞌadꞌu nara, huu ana nae fee Paulus nasodꞌa. De ana parenda, basa atahori mana nane rahineꞌ ra, nane madꞌaꞌ ata reu.
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.
Ma ana denu atahori nda mana nane ralaꞌ ra sa, toꞌu papaꞌ do sudꞌi a saa, fo tungga ree ra madꞌaꞌ ata reu. No taꞌo naa, basa hai losa madꞌaꞌ ata no masodꞌaꞌ.
