Acts 27
1 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
Zvino kwakati kwatemwa kuti tiende kuItaria nechikepe, vakakumikidza Pauro nevamwewo vasungwa kumukuru wezana wainzi Juriasi, wehondo yamambo mukuru.
2 Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
Zvino takati tapinda muchikepe cheAdhiramitiyamu, chaiva choda kuenda nemugungwa tichitevedza nzvimbo dzeAsia, tikatanga kufamba nechikepe, Arisitako muMakedhonia weTesaronika anesu.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Chifume tikasvika paSidhoni; Juriasi akabata Pauro zvakanaka, akamutendera kuti aende kushamwari, kuti abatsirwe.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Takati tabva ipapo nechikepe tikapfuura takadzikatirwa neSaipuresi, nokuti mhepo yaitipikisa,
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
tikati tayambuka gungwa rakatevedza Kirikia nePamufiriya, takasvika paMaira yeRisia.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Ipapo mukuru wezana akawana chikepe cheAreksandiria chinoenda kuItaria, ndokutipinza machiri.
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
Zvino takati tananaira nechikepe mazuva mazhinji, tikasvika pakatarisana neKinido nemutsutsururu, mhepo isingatitenderi, tikaburuka takatevedza Kirete, kwakatarisana neSarimoni;
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
tikapapfuura nemutsutsururu tikasvika pane imwe nzvimbo panonzi Zororo Rakanaka; pedo naro paiva neguta Rasea.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
Zvino nguva huru yakati yapfuura, nekufamba nechikepe ikozvino kwava nenjodzi, nokuti kutsanyawo kwakange kwatopfuura, Pauro akavayambira,
10 and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
achiti kwavari: Varume, ndinoona kuti rwendo rwuchava nekukuvara nekurasikirwa kuzhinji, zvisati zviri zvemutoro nechikepe chete, asi nekweupenyu hwedu.
11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
Asi mukuru wezana wakatenda mufambisi wechikepe nemwene wechikepe kupfuura zvinhu zvakarehwa naPauro.
12 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking southwest and northwest.
Zvino sezvo zororo rakange risina kunaka kugarwa muchando, vazhinji vakayambira kuti pabviwe, zvimwe vangagona kusvika kuFenikisi vagareko muchando, ndiro zororo reKirete, rakange rakatarira kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumavirira nekumaodzanyemba akadziva kumavirira.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Zvino mhepo yechamhembe yakati ichifefetera, vakafunga kuti vawana vavariro yavo, vakabvisa zvipingo zvechikepe, vakatevedza pedo neKirete nechikepe.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
Asi pasina kupfuura nguva huru mhepo ine simba yainzi Yurokiridhoni, yakachirova;
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
zvino chikepe chakati chabatwa, chisingagoni kumirisana nemhepo, tikarega tikakukurwa.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Zvino takatevedza zasi kwechimwe chiwi chidiki chinonzi Kraudha, tikakwanisa kubata chikepe nemutsutsururu;
17 After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
chavakati vachisimudza, vakashandisa zvibatsiro, vachisunga chikepe nepasi; vachitya kuti vacharasikira paSetisi, vakaderedza seiri, ndokukukurwa saizvozvo.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Zvino tichatambudzwa kwazvo nedutu remhepo, chifume vakabudisa nhumbi kunze;
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
uye pazuva retatu, takarasa zvombo zvechikepe nemaoko edu pachedu.
20 When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
Zvino kwakati kusina kuonekwa zuva kana nyeredzi kwemazuva mazhinji, nedutu risati riri diki remhepo richisimba, kubva ipapo tariro yese yekuti tichaponeswa ikatorwa.
21 When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss.
Zvino yakati yava nguva refu vasingadyi, ipapo Pauro akamira pakati pavo, akati: Haiwa, varume, mungadai makanditeerera mukasabva paKirete, mukapukunyuka kukuvara uku nekurasikirwa.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Asi ikozvino ndinokukurudzirai kuti mutsunge moyo; nokuti hakungavi nekurasikirwa neupenyu pakati penyu, asi kwechikepe.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Nokuti usiku huno kwakamira neni mutumwa waMwari, wandiri wake, newandinoshumira,
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
achiti: Usatya Pauro; unofanira kumira pamberi paKesari; zvino tarira, Mwari wakupa vese vanofamba newe muchikepe.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Naizvozvo varume tsungai moyo; nokuti ndinotenda kuna Mwari kuti zvichava saizvozvi senzira yandakaudzwa nayo.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
Asi tinofanira kurasirwa pane chimwe chiwi.
27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
Zvino usiku hwegumi neuna hwakati hwasvika, tichangomveeswa muAdhira, panenge pakati peusiku, vafambisi vechikepe vakafunga kuti imwe nyika yoswedera kwavari;
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
vakakanda gavi rekuyera kudzika vakawana mafadomi makumi maviri; vakati vapfuura zvishoma, vakakandazve gavi rekuyera kudzika, vakawana mafadomi gumi nemashanu;
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
zvino vakatya kuti zvimwe tichawira pamabwe, vakakanda zvipingo zvina neshure kwechikepe, vakashuva kuedza.
30 As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
Zvino vafambisi vechikepe vakati vachitsvaka kutiza muchikepe, vaburusira igwa mugungwa, vachiita sevanenge vokanda zvipingo mberi kwechikepe,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
Pauro akati kumukuru wezana nekumauto: Kana ava vakasagara muchikepe, imwi hamugoni kuponeswa.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Ipapo mauto akagura mabote egwa, ndokurirega rikawa.
33 While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
Zvino kwakati koedza, Pauro akakumbirisa vese kuti vadye, achiti: Nhasi izuva regumi nechina ramakagarira muchitsanya, musingadyi chinhu.
34 Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
Saka ndinokukumbirisai kuti mudye; nokuti ndezveruponeso rwenyu; nokuti hakuna ruvhudzi rwuchawa pamusoro weumwe wenyu.
35 When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
Wakati areva zvinhu izvi, atora chingwa, akavonga kuna Mwari pamberi pavo vese, akati achimedura akatanga kudya.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Zvino vakatsunga moyo vese, uye ivo vakadya.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Zvino isu, mweya yese yaiva muchikepe, taiva mazana maviri nemakumi manomwe nevatanhatu.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Zvino vakati vaguta kudya vakarerusa chikepe, vachikanda zviyo kunze mugungwa.
39 When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
Kwakati kwaedza, vakasaziva nyika; asi vakaona rimwe mhenderekedzo rekuzorora raiva nemahombekombe ejecha, vakarangana kana vaigona, kuti vasundire chikepe pariri.
40 Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
Zvino vakagura zvipingo, vakazvisiya mugungwa, nenguva iyoyo vakasunungura zvisungo, vakasimudzira seiri repamberi kumhepo, vakaruramira kumahombekombe.
41 But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
Zvino vakati vachiwira panzvimbo pamasanganirano emakungwa, vakagumhirisa chikepe pasi; muromo ukabatira ndokurambira usingazununguki, asi rutivi rweshure rukavhunika nesimba remafungu.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Zvino zano remauto rekuti vauraye vasungwa, kuti zvimwe vamwe vangashambira vakatiza.
43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
Asi mukuru wezana achida kuponesa Pauro, akavadzivisa pazvinangwa zvavo, akaraira kuti vanogona kushambira vatange kuzviwisira mugungwa, vaende kunyika;
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
uye vakasara, vamwe pamatanda, vamwe pane zvimwe zvipenga zvechikepe. Saizvozvowo zvakaitika kuti vese vakasvika kunyika vari vapenyu.
