Acts 27
1 As it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were put in charge of a Captain of the Augustan Guard, named Julius.
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 We went on board a ship from Adramyttium, which was on the point of sailing to the ports along the coast of Roman Asia, and put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, 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 next day we put in to Sidon, where Julius treated Paul in a friendly manner, and allowed him to go to see his friends and receive their hospitality.
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 Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the wind was against us;
Pong ih rapne eh mot heeno erah dowa Kaipras juuloot hah adi daansoon kati.
5 and, after crossing the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
Silisia nyia Pamphilia juusih ah daan eno Maira hah Lisia ko angta adi wang tahe.
6 There the Roman Officer found an Alexandrian ship on her way to Italy, and put us on board of her.
Erah di Elekjendar nawa juukaari ah Itali ni wangte angta, eno saahaap ah ih erah japtup ano duutong kaat thuk tahe.
7 For several days our progress was slow, and it was only with difficulty that we arrived off Cnidus. As the wind was still unfavourable when we came off Cape Salmone, we sailed under the lee of Crete,
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 and with difficulty, by keeping close in shore, we reached a place called ‘Fair Havens,’ near which was the town of Lasea.
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 This had taken a considerable time, and sailing was already dangerous, for the Fast was already over; and so Paul gave this warning.
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 “My friends,” he said, “I see that this voyage will be attended with injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but to our own lives also.”
“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 The Roman Officer, however, was more influenced by the captain and the owner than by what was said by Paul.
Enoothong arami saahaap ah ih Pool jeng ah lalek boichaat thang ih; juukaari jopte nyia juukaari changte jeng ah boichaatta.
12 And, as the harbour was not a suitable one to winter in, the majority were in favour of continuing the voyage, in hope of being able to reach Phoenix, and winter there. Phoenix was a Cretan harbour, open to the north-east and south-east.
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 So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore.
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 shortly afterwards a hurricane came down on us off the land — a north-easter, as it is called.
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 The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it.
Juukaari ah pong ih tangmotta, seng ih uh takah jook motsiitti, pong nawa ih heh soonsoon lan eh thukti.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship’s boat,
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 and, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted.
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.
18 So violently were we tossed about by the storm, that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard,
Pong aphaat ah choophaan phaan ih pongroh eh kano, erah saalih adi huikhaak rukho ah juukaari dowa lamdat haat eh rumta,
19 and, on the following day, threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
eno erah saalih adi juukaari ni maak theng jaan loong ah daat haat eh rumta.
20 As neither sun nor stars were visible for several days, and, as the gale still continued severe, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
Sa hantek rangsa nyia ritsih uh tajap tupti, pong ah thidokdok ih pongroh eta. Seng uh epui eli ngeh ih takah laalomti.
21 It was then, when they had gone a long time without food, that Paul came forward, and said: “My friends, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and so incurred this injury and damage.
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 Yet, even as things are, I urge you not to lose courage, for there will not be a single life lost among you — only the ship.
Bolam uh sen lasih jorum hala, nakcho an! Seng khoh sengseng abah tamake juukaari ah ba ethet eh ah.
23 For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom I serve, stood by me, and said —
Ngah ih soomhang Rangte Kamwah muphe ra haano,
24 ‘Have no fear, Paul; you must appear before the Emperor, and God himself has given you the lives of all your fellow-voyagers.’
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 Therefore, courage, my friends! for I believe God, that everything will happen exactly as I have been told.
Miwah loong, erah raangtaan ih nakcho an! Nga Rangte erah baat tahang asuh laalom lang jun ih ju ang ah.
26 We shall, however, have to be driven on some island.”
Enoothong juuloot ehoko maako bah uh soonmot ekaat he.”
27 It was now the fourteenth night of the storm, and we were drifting about in the Adriatic Sea, when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near 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 took soundings, and found twenty fathoms of water. After waiting a little, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
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 Then, as they were afraid of our being driven upon some rocky coast, they let go four anchors from the stern, and longed for daylight.
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 The sailors wanted to leave the ship, and had lowered the boat, on pretence of running out anchors from the bows,
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 when Paul said to the Roman Officer and his men: “Unless the sailors remain on board, you cannot be 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 Upon that the soldiers cut the ropes which held the boat, and let her drift away.
Erah thoidi arami loong ah ih tangtuk eta ruh loong ah jaakhan rum ano heh soonsoon eh thuk rumta.
33 In the interval before daybreak Paul kept urging them all to take something to eat. “It is a fortnight to-day,” he said, “that, owing to your anxiety, you have gone without food, taking nothing.
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 I urge you to take something to eat; your safety depends upon it, for not one of you will lose even a hair of his head.”
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 With these words he took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving to God before them all, broke it in pieces, and began to eat;
Erah jeng lidi, Pool ih baanlo ah toonpi ano, Rangte suh lakookmi li ano, chep hoom phakta.
36 and the men all felt cheered and had something to eat themselves.
Erah dowa ih ba neng chaan kok dongta, eno loongtang ih jam phaksah rumta.
37 There were about seventy-six of us on board, all told.
Seng loong ah roop roop ih 276 mina tongti.
38 After satisfying their hunger, they further lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
Neng loong ah ih phoot phaksah rum ano, huichaang suh juukaari dowa wong ah ju ni lamset haat rumta.
39 When daylight came, they could not make out what land it was, but, observing a creek in which there was a beach, they consulted as to whether they could run the ship safely into it.
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 Then they cast off, and abandoned the anchors, and at the same time unlashed the gear of the steering oars, hoisted the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach.
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 They got, however, into a kind of channel, and there ran the ship aground. The bows stuck fast and could not be moved, while the stern began breaking up under the strain.
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 advice of the soldiers was that the prisoners should be killed, for fear that any of them should swim away and make their 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 the Roman Officer, anxious to save Paul, prevented their carrying out their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should be the first to jump into the sea and try to reach the shore;
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 and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on different pieces of the ship. In these various ways every one managed to get safely ashore.
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.
