Acts 27
1 Now as it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan cohort.
Mpokwalasuminishiweti twenga ku Italiya mubwato, Paulo pamo ne bakaili nabambi balabikwa mumakasa amukulene wa bashilikali mwanda lina lyakendi Juliyasi, wamulikoto lyalikukwiweti, “Bashilikali ba Mwami waku Loma.”
2 And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, we went off, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
Twalatanta bwato bwalafumina ku Adilamitayo bwalikuya ku bito bya mucishi ca Asiya. Twalikuba pamo ne Alisitako walafuma ku Tesalonika mu cimpansha ca Makedoniya.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends to get proper supplies.
Busuba bwalakonkapo, twalashika ku Sidoni. Juliyasi walamunyumfwila nkumbo Paulo, walamusuminisha kuya kubona banendi kwambeti, bamupengonga bintu bilayandikinga palyendiye.
4 And when we departed from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Mpotwalafuma uko, kayi pacebo cacipupu calikubako, twalapitila kwalikubula cipupu kunsa kwansumbu ya Saipulasi.
5 And sailing through the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra a city of Lycia.
Lino panyuma pa kwenda mumbali mulwenje pepi ne cishi ca Kilikiya ne Pamfuliya, twalashika ku munshi wa Mula mucishi ca Lukiya.
6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria bound for Italy, he put us on board it.
Uko mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, nkwalacana bwato bunene bwalikufuma ku Alekisandiliya bwalikuya ku Italiya, emwalatutantika.
7 And as we sailed slowly for many days, and were hardly got on to Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete by Salmone.
Twalikwenda pang'anapang'ana kwa masuba angi mwakupenga penga kwambeti tushike pepi ne munshi wa Sinido. Lino mpotwalaboneti lukupwe lunene lulafumunga nkotwalikuya, twalalilwa kwenda. Twalapita kulubasu nkotwalashinkililwako ne nsumbu ya Kelete, yalangana ne Salimoni.
8 And passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called the Fair-havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Twalenda mwa kupengapenga mu mbali mwa nsumbu, mpaka twalashika pamusena walikukwiweti “Bito Byaina,” Pepi ne munshi wa Laseya.
9 And as much time was spent, and sailing was now dangerous, (for the fast was now past, ) Paul exhorted them,
Twalataya cindi citali mu bulwendo, cakwinseti busuba bwa kulikanisha kulya bwalikuba bulapiti kendi. Cindico calaboneketi nitukumane ne bintu biyosha mu bulwendo bwetu. Neco Paulo walabacenjesheti,
10 saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage is like to be prejudicial and with much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives.
“Mobaname, ame ndabonongeti kufuma pano bulwendo bwetu bwakuya kuntangu nitukumane ne bintu biyosha. Bintu bingi nibyonongeke ne kutaika, ntebyo bintu byonka ne bwato sobwe, nsombi ne buyumi bwetu.”
11 But the centurion regarded the pilot and the master of the vessel, more than the things that were said by Paul.
Nomba nendi mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, walanyumfwila mukulene wa basebenshi ba bwato ne mwine bwato, kupita maswi ngalamba Paulo.
12 And the haven not being commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to sail from thence, if they could possibly reach to Phenice to winter at that haven of Crete, which looks both to the south-west and north-west.
Cito ico nkacalikuba caina kwikalapo cindi ca mupewo. Neco bantu bangi balayeya kufumapo pacito ico, ne kuya pantanguko kwambeti mpani ngabashika kucito ca Foinike, ne kwikalako pa cindico. Cito ici ciliku Kelete, calangila kumusansa cakumbonshi kayi ne kunyika cakumbonshi.
13 And as the south wind blew gently, thinking they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close by Crete.
Popelapo cipupu cabomba calafumina kumusansa, calatatika kupupula, neco bantu balayeyeti bapitilishe bulwendo bwabo mpaka kuya kushika ku Foinike. Balacikwela cinshimbi cinene cishikwimanika bwato, ne kutatika kwendela mu mbali mwakuma nsumbu ya Kelete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon.
Nsombi paliya kupita cindi citali sobwe, lukupwe lwalikukwiweti, “Lukupwe lwa kunyika ca kucwe” Lwalikufumina pansumbu lwalakonempa cangofu.
15 And the ship being hurried on, and not able to face the wind, we gave it up and so were carried along.
Ulu lukupwe lwalesa kuma ku bwato cakwinseti calala kuya kwalikufumina lukupwe. Neco twalabuleka kabuya kunyakwa ne lukupwe.
16 And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat.
Twaleshikilwako ne nsumbu ing'ana ya Kauda, mpotwalenda ku lubasu lwa kumusansa. Kopeloko mukupenga penga, twalacikonsha kukwabilila kabwato kang'ana kali kukwelwa ne bwato bunene.
17 Which when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing least they should fall into the quick-sands, they struck fail, and so were driven.
Kabwato kang'ana balakakwelela mubwato bunene. Balasunga ntambo bwato bunene kwambeti kabuta pausuka. Balikutineti mpani ngabuya buma pa museya waku Siriti mu mbali mwacishi ca Libya. Neco balalasha byombesho bya mu bwato ne kubuleka kabuya kuselaukowa ne lukupwe.
18 And as we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
Twalasunkanwa ne lukupwe lwangofu lwalapitilisha kupupula. Mpobwalaca, balatatika kufunya bintu mbyebalikuba bamanta ne kubiwala mulwenje.
19 and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship too.
Pabusuba bwatutatu, balawala mu menshi nabimbi byombesho bya mu bwato.
20 And as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
Kwa masuba angi nkatwalikulibona lisuba nambi nyenyenshi. Lukupwe lwalapitilisha kupupula cangofu, cakwinseti kupembelela sha kupuluka nkotwalikukute kwalapwa.
21 But after long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not loosed from Crete, and so have saved this damage and loss.
Bantu mpobalekala masuba angi kwakubula kulya cakulya, Paulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti, “Mobanse bame, nshinga ne mwalanyumfwa maswi ngondalambeti katutafuma pa Kelete, ne tulabulu kutaikilwa bintu bingi cisa.
22 However, I now exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you, but only of the ship:
Nikukabeco ndamusengengeti muyumishe myoyo, paliya muntu naba umo eshafwe, bwato bonka bweti bonongeke.
23 for there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying,
Ndicinshici, pakwinga lelo mashiku, mungelo wa Lesa uyo kayi e Mwami wakame ngonkute kukambilila langa lesa kuli njame,
24 Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and behold God hath given thee all that are sailing with thee.
lambeti, ‘Kotatina Paulo! Ulenga kwimana pamenso pa Mwami waku Loma. Lesa munkumbo shakendi elashomesheti nupuluke, pamo ne bantu bonse mbolinabo mu bulwendobu.’
25 Wherefore, Sirs, be of good courage; for I trust in God, that it shall be so, according as it was told me.
Neco mobanse bame, yumishani myoyo pakwinga ndashometi byonse nibinshike mbuli ncalamba mungelo wa Lesa.
26 But we must be cast upon some island.
Nikukabeco nituye tucinke pansumbu njotuteshi.”
27 And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the mariners thought they drew near to some land:
Mashiku abusuba mbotwalakwanisha nsondo shibili kufumina mpolwalatatika lukupwe lwacipupu, twalikatuya kwempauka ne lukupwe palwenje lwa Medeteleniya. Pakati pa mashiku basebenshi ba mu bwato bunene balikuyeyeti tuli pepi ne kumutunta.
28 and sounding they found it twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, and sounded again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
Popelapo balalasha lutambo mu menshi lwalikuba lwasungwako cinshimbi kwakumako, kwambeti babone na nipatali aconi kuya panshi mu menshi apo mpobalikuba. Balacaneti palikuba ntamwa makumi ana kuya panshi. Mpobalendako pang'ana kayi balapima, balacaneti pali ntamwa makumi atatu.
29 Then fearing least they should fall upon some rocky places, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for day.
Apa balatineti bwato bunene ngabuya buma pamabwe. Neco balalasha binshimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato bina byalikuba byasungwa kunyuma kwa bwato, balatatika kupaileti kabuca bwangu.
30 But the mariners endeavouring to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going to stretch out anchors from the head of the ship,
Basebenshi ba mu bwato balikuyanda kuloboka. Neco balaselusha kabwato kang'ana mu menshi, kababoneketi balabikinga binshimbi bishikwimanika bwato bunene, byalikuba byasungwa kuntangu kwa bwato.
31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Unless these men stay in the ship ye cannot be saved.
Mwabwangu bwangu, Paulo walambila mukulene wabashilikali mwanda, ne bashilikali nabambi mbobalikuba nabo pamo kwambeti, “Na basebenshi ba mu bwato muno bafumemo, nteti mupulukepo sobwe.”
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Popelapo bashilikali balatimbula ntambo shalikuba shasungwako kabwato ako ne kukaleka kakaya kusela pamenshi.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, Fourteen days this day ye continue waiting without proper food, having taken nothing:
Kabutana buca, Paulo walabasenga bonse kwambeti balye cakulya. Walabambileti, “Alakwana masuba likumi ne ana, mwapembelelangowa kwakubula kulya kantu kalikonse.
34 wherefore I exhort you to take some nourishment, for this is necessary for your safety: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.
Lino ndamusengengeti kamulyani cakulya kwambeti mube ne ngofu sha kupuluka, nteti mulilingepo sobwe.”
35 And having spoken thus, he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and when he had broken it he began to eat.
Mpwalapwisha kwamba Paulo walamanta shinkwa walatembaula Lesa pamenso abantu, walakomonako walalya.
36 And being all encouraged they also took some food.
Popelapo bonse balaliyuminisha myoyo balatatika kulya.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls.
Twense twalikuba mu bwatomo twalikuba myanda ibili, ne makumi asanu ne abili, ne bantu basanu ne umo.
38 And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship and cast out the corn into the sea.
Bonse mpobalekuta, balawala bifunta bya museke mu menshi byalikuba bilashala mu bwato kwambeti bupubeko.
39 And when it was day, they did not know the land near them: but they perceived a certain creek with a shore, into which they were desirous, if they could, to have thrust the ship.
Mumene mpobwalaca, basebenshi bamubwato bunene balabona mutunta nomba baliya kuwinshiba. Mpobalabona cisapa camuseya balayeyeti benga bemanike bwato popelapo na kacikonsheka.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they trusted the ship to the sea, at the same time, loosing the rudder-bands; and hoisting up the main-sail to the wind, they made to the shore.
Balatimbula ntambo shekata bishimbi byalema bishikwimanika bwato, ne kubilekela mu menshi, kayi balasungulula ntambo kwalikuba kwasungililwa bitondo byakunyonena bwato. Balakweleka cikwisa cishi kwikata lukupwe calikuba kuntangu kwa bwato kwambeti lukupwe lubatwalanyenga kuntangu. Neco twalabukuba ne kuya ku cisapa.
41 But falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship a-ground; and the fore-part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was dashed in pieces by the violence of the waves.
Nomba bwato bwalakacinka pa museya walikuba mu menshi, popelapo bwalemana. Cimpansha cakuntangu calakapatila mu museya calala kucendesha. Calo cimpansha cakunyuma calapasauka ne mankape alikwisa cangofu.
42 And the counsel of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, least any of them should swim out and escape.
Pacindici bashilikali balapanganeti bashine bakaili bonse, kwambeti kapataba naba umo eshasambe nyambwe kutampukila kutala ne kuloboka.
43 But the centurion, desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and ordered those that could swim to throw themselves out first, and get off to land:
Mukulene wabashilikali mwanda walikuyanda kupulushako Paulo. Pacebo ico walabakanisha ncebalikuyanda kwinsa. Lino walambila bakaili bonse bacinshi kusamba nyambwe kwambeti batangune kuliwala pamenshi benga kutala.
44 and the rest, some on planks, and others on some other things out of the ship. And so it came to pass that they all got safe to land.
Panyuma pakendi walambila nabambi bonseti baliwale pamenshi, kabali bekatilila ku mapulanga ne bintu nabimbi byalapasauka ku bwato. Umu emotwalatampukila ku mutunta ne kupuluka kwakubula kulilinga.
