Acts 27
1 Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they handed over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius, a Captain of the Augustan battalion;
Vakhavile valamwile khuta uyutugeenda mumagasi ukhuluta khu Italia, pwu vakambikha uPavuli navankhungwa avange vakhampa umbaha valighoha ilya Kiloma uvivatinchaga vie Julio, uvakhipuga ikya Agusitani.
2 and going on board a ship of Adramyttium which was about to sail to the ports of the province of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, the Macedonian, from Thessalonica, forming one of our party.
Tukhatoga mungalava ukhuhuma khu Adlamitamu, lyageendaga mundunkhanji munyanja iya Asia. Pwu tukhingila khunyanja. U Alistako ukhuhuma khu Thesolanike iya Makedonia akhaluta pwu paninie nufye.
3 The next day we put in at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul with thoughtful kindness and allowed him to visit his friends and profit by their generous care.
Ilinchuva ilyakhongile tukhima khu Sidoni, khukwa uPavuli ambombile uwipa pwu akhantavula ukhuluta khuvamanyani vamwene khukwupila uwipa wavo.
4 Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us;
Vutuhumile apo tukhageenda munyanja tukhanchungula ikhiesiwa ikya Kiplo ikya diendile ukhuluguto, ulwakhuva unkhuluguto gwale pwuguli.
5 and, sailing the whole length of the sea that lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
Vutugeendile mumagaasi agaale pawipi nakhu Kilikia na khu Pamfilia, tukhincha khu Mira, ikhielunga ikya Lisia.
6 There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.
Pala umbaha valigoha ilyo Kiloma, akayivome ingalava iyihumile khu Alexandlia yiyo yikhale yakhuluta khu Italia. Akhatupakhila umwa.
7 It took several days of slow sailing for us to come with difficulty off Cnidus; from which point, as the wind did not allow us to get on in the direct course, we ran under the lee of Crete by Salmone.
Twageendile malamola amanchuva galutilile ulugeendo ukhava luvivi salwanogelanile tukhahegelela khu Kinidasi, unkuluguto gwale mmbaha tukhalemwa ukhugeenda, pwu tukhageenda mundukanji kanji pasi pa Klete tukakhingila khu Salmone.
8 Then, coasting along with difficulty, we reached a place called 'Fair Havens,' near the town of Lasea.
Twageendile mulukhanji munyanja khuvutatamu, pwutukhingila ukhuvita Fali Haveni ukwa khuliepawipi niekhilunga ikya Lasi.
9 Our voyage thus far had occupied a considerable time, and the navigation being now unsafe and the Fast also already over, Paul warned them.
Twangeendile amachuva mingi inoo, unsiekhi ugwa Avayhudi vaielekhilwa ukhulya unsiekhi ugwakwielekela ukhulya guukhava gulutile. Pwu khukava nuvudwanchi ukhuva tungeendage. Pwu uPavuli akhatukhilivula,
10 "Sirs," he said, "I perceive that before long the voyage will be attended with danger and heavy loss, not only to the cargo and the ship but to our own lives also."
akhanchova akhata, “Mwivagosi, nilola nivona ulugeendo ulututengula uyuyiva mbivi hange uyuyiva yakhuyaga, sanita ifivo ifyutugeegile nie ngalava navuwumi weitu.”
11 But Julius let himself be persuaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments;
Umbaha valigoha ilya Khiloma umbaha vamwene nu munu unyangalava, akhajilekha ukhunkonga nchila inchuanchovile uPavuli.
12 and as the harbour was inconvenient for wintering in, the majority were in favour of putting out to sea, to try whether they could get to Phoenix--a harbour on the coast of Crete facing north-east and south-east--to winter there.
Ulwakhuva upwuvafikhile sapanogiele ukhutama unsiekhe ugwa mepu, avavombambombo avamungalava tugeenda ukhufikha ukhu, tungietange ukwingiela khukhilunga ikya Foinike, tukhatame ukhu unseikhe ugwa mepu. Khu Foinike khulikhulukanji khu nyanja khu Klete, yilkola khunena khuvuhumo na khusikha khuvuhumo.
13 And a light breeze from the south sprang up, so that they supposed they were now sure of their purpose. So weighing anchor they ran along the coast of Crete, hugging the shore.
Imepo incha kusika vunchitengwile ukhupula malamola, avavombi va munyanja vakhasaga vakhata vakhavile khila ikyuvakhalondaga. Vakhahencha ingalava vakhatengula ukhughenda khulukhanji khu Klete ukhuhegelela khu maghasi amadhebe.
14 But it was not long before a furious north-east wind, coming down from the mountains, burst upon us and carried the ship out of her course.
Vutukhinile padebe gukhatengula unkhuluguto, ugwuvatili gwu gwa kunene khuvuhumo, gwukhakhula khumakha.
15 She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive.
Pwu ingalava yiekhalemwa ukhugeenda ukhuva ukhulughuto gwale mbaha, tukhidiehana nienchihumila gwukhatutola nayufwe.
16 Then we ran under the lee of a little island called Cauda, where we managed with great difficulty to secure the boat;
Tukhanyila uluvafu ulunghe khukhisiva ikyuvatichaga Kauda; twatigile ieno ukhupoka uwato.
17 and, after hoisting it on board, they used frapping-cables to undergird the ship, and, as they were afraid of being driven on the Syrtis quicksands, they lowered the gear and lay to.
Vuvawesinche ukhuhwega, nululeghehe uluvakhungile mungalava. Vadwadile ukhuta tukhale twiluta khunsanga ugwa Syiti, vakhimikha vakhatoliwa vule vule.
18 But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship;
Twatoviwe nu mbele, twavile tugonile pavusikhu avavombi va mngalava vakhatengula ukhutaga iminchigo khunji ukhuhuma mungalava.
19 and, on the third day, with their own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard.
Ikhigono ikyadatu avavombi vamungalava vakhatengula ukhutuma magasi namavoka gaavene.
20 Then, when for several days neither sun nor stars were seen and the terrific gale still harassed us, the last ray of hope was now vanishing.
Ilinchuva nie nondwe sanchavonekhe khufigono fingi, ukhuluguto nu mbelo guuliekhukhula tukhava vanu vakhata ukhupona khusikhuli.
21 When for a long time they had taken but little food, Paul, standing up among them, said, "Sirs, you ought to have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would then have escaped this suffering and loss.
Vuvatamile unsiekhi intali khisita khulya ikyakhula, uPavuli pwa khima akhata, “Vagosi, mukhale mumulihienchage une samukhale mwihencha ingalava ukhuhuma khu Klete, ukhungaikha kyoni khukhale kyuvi khusikhuli.
22 But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only.
Lino nita muve vanu vakweikhasya ulwakhuva asipali umunu uvyakhiva iyaga ingalava yuyinangikha.
23 For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship,
Ulwakhuva ikhilo iyielelo unsung'wa va Nguluve, yuywa une nilievamwene, hange une vininkhusana vyakhimile palukhanji palyune
24 and he said, "'Dismiss all fear, Paul, for you must stand before Caesar; and God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you.'
alikhuta, “Uladwadaga Pavuli. Upwu wukwimaga pavulongolo pa Kaisali, hange ulole, Unguluve khukhisa kyamwene akhupile avanu voni uvumugeendanjila nuve.
25 "Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told.
Mwie, vagoosi, mwikhasyage, ulwakhuva nikhumwidiekha Unguluve, ulwakhuva uyunchiva nduvuniekhavulile.
26 But we are to be stranded on a certain island."
Khumbe tutakhiwa totoviwe khufisiwa ifinge.”
27 It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Sea of Adria, when, about midnight, the sailors suspected that land was close at hand.
Vuyiefikhe iekhilo iya kumi na nne, avavombi vamungalava vutwiyuuga ukwa nukiwa khunyanja iya Adlatik, pakhilo pagati avavomba mbombo avamungalava vakhasaga vakhata apange tuliepakhufika khukhilunga ikhilievuvule amagasi.
28 So they hove the lead and found twenty fathoms of water; and after a short time they hove again and found fifteen fathoms.
Vakhavombela ilimenyu ukhulihania ukhulola uvutali pasi pamagasi vakhavona ikhipimilo khita salasini na sita, vakhalihania khange vakhavona ifipimilo ishilini na saba.
29 Then for fear of possibly running on rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern and waited impatiently for daylight.
Vakhatala vakhadwada ukhuta uyuutukhietika mulunalawe vakhisya ifyombo fine ukhuma uluvafu ulwakwimiencha puvalikhudova ukhuta vukhale vukhinchage iembeevi.
30 The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow.
Avavomba mbombo vamungalava pwu valiekhulonda ukhuyielekha ingalava palapala, vakhisya uwato uwakhuvapoka ukhufwa, vakhava vilaha khuvulongo khuwato.
31 But Paul, addressing Julius and the soldiers, said, "Your lives will be sacrificed, unless these men remain on board."
U Pavuli pwalikhuvavula avalonghonchi avalighoha ilya Khiloma na vasikhali, “Samukhawesye ukhupona hange avanu ava visigala mu ngalava”.
32 Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off.
Pwu avasikhali vala vakha dumula iemilegeehe igya wato vakhavulekha vukhagwa mumagasi.
33 And continually, up till daybreak, Paul kept urging all on board to take some food. "This is the fourteenth day," he said, "that you have been anxiously waiting for the storm to cease, and have fasted, eating little or nothing.
Vuvuliepakhukya, uPavuli akhavadova voni valye ikyakhula. Akhanchova, “Eekhi khigono kya khinchigho nifine mwikhina khitalya khinu.
34 I therefore strongly advise you to take some food. This is essential for your safety. For not a hair will perish from the head of any one of you."
Nikhuvadova mtote ikyakhula khidebe mulye, ulwakhuva khuvupokhi weinyo, ulwakhuva asikhuli umunu yuywa akhiva lwihega uluywiele lumo khuntwe.
35 Having said this he took some bread, and, after giving thanks to God for it before them all, he broke it in pieces and began to eat it.
Avile anchovi eiwo akhatota, akhatota eikhisyesye akhansana Unguluve pamiho pavene. Akhamanyula ikhisyesye akhatengula ukhulya.
36 This raised the spirits of all, and they too took food.
Voni vakhanogwa pwu vakhatola ifinu vakhalya.
37 There were 276 of us, crew and passengers, all told.
Mungalava twate twivanu 276.
38 After eating a hearty meal they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.
Vavile valile vakhigwuuta, valikhutola einganu valikhutaga munyanja ingalava yilikhuva mepe.
39 When daylight came, they tried in vain to recognise the coast. But an inlet with a sandy beach attracted their attention, and now their object was, if possible, to run the ship aground in this inlet.
Yuvile yievile musi pwu vakhalalumnya ukhuta valikhukhilunga inkhincha magasi hange pwu valikhuvona ikhilunga ikhingile mugaati magasi ikhili nunsanga umwingi.
40 So they cut away the anchors and left them in the sea, unloosing at the same time the bands which secured the paddle-rudders. Then, hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
Pwu valikhunchova ukhuta inave viwesya ukhugeendencha ingalava ukhuluta ukhwa. Pwu valiekhuhudula iendeghehe nukhunchilekha munyanja. Unsiekhi ugwa valikhudula indeghehe incha ngalava nukhupiemba khuvulongolo ukhuluta ukhuyileikho imepu, pwu valiekhuhegelela khunsanga.
41 But coming to a place where two seas met, they stranded the ship, and her bow sticking fast remained immovable, while the stern began to go to pieces under the heavy hammering of the sea.
Vakhahegela khuvulongolo vakafika aponu upwu amaga agaa inyanja ivieli nchagiine. Ingalava pwu yikhima yiliekhulemwa ukhugeenda pwu yikhatengula ingalava ukhudenyeekha ulwakhuva umbelo gwale mbaha.
42 Now the soldiers recommended that the prisoners should be killed, for fear some one of them might swim ashore and effect his escape.
Avasikhali vanchovine ukhuvabuuda avankungwa voni, ulwakhuva akhee iva asipali umunu yuywa akhale iwesya ukwogela nukhuhega aponu apo.
43 But their Captain, bent on securing Paul's safety, kept them from their purpose and gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;
Ulwakhuva unsikhali valigoha ilya Kiloma alikhunogwa ukhumpoka uPavuli, pwakhimikha inchuvasagiile; pwa akhatavula vala aviwesya ukwogela, vanyele ukhuhuma mungalava vatale ukhuluta ukhugasikhuli amagasi.
44 and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. In this way they all got safely to land.
Pwu avagosi avange valiekhulonda umwakhumile ukwieyibatilila mumbavo na mufinu ifinge ukhuta vahume mungalava. Vavile vagahile ewo pwu vakhapona voni vakhahuma vunonu khunji khukoa amagasi gasikhuli.
