Kitetidayta Ootho 27
1 Nuni Xaallane dere markkaben baana mala geeteti qachchetida gish Phawulossane hara qachcho asatakka kawoo Awugisxxossa ola wotadarata gidoofe gidida Yulliyossa geetettiza xeetu halaqas aththi immida.
When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
2 Issiya abba achan diza dereta biza markkaben gillidi bidos. Tesellonqqen diza issi Maqidonyya asi Arisxxirokossa geetettizadey nunara dees.
We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3 Wonttetha gallas sidona gizaso gakkidos; Yulliyossay Phawulossas loo7o gidida gish Phawulossay ba laggetakko biidi asay izas koshshiza maado ooththana mala piqade immides.
The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
4 Heepe danddi nu bishin sinththa baggara carkkoy nu bolla carkkiza gish abba gidoon diza Qophphorosse deren gemmetidi gede sinththe bidos.
After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5 Killqqiya gizassone Phinhaaththailiya giza dere achchan diza abba pinddi Luqqiya giza deren diza Muura giza kaatama gakkidos.
And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
6 Heen xeistata hallaqay Xallane dere biza iskkinddiriya dere markkabe demmidi nuna izan gellithides.
There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7 Daroo gallas loddu gi gi biidi daroo wayettidi Qandose geetettiza kaatama achchi gakkidos; Carkkoykka nu sinthth boontta mala diggin Sallimoon achchara adhdhidi Qarxxese geetettiza abba gidoon diza haruro deren gemettidi bidos.
After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8 Daroo wayettidi dira dira oykki nu adhdhidape guye Lasyya giza kaatama achchan diza “Loo7o” geetettiza markabe getetizaso gakkidos.
After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9 Nu biza oge bolla daroo dabuuran xooma wodey adhdhida gish ha7i abba bolla baanas daroo meeto gidida gish Phawulossay benara diza asay naggettana mala hizzgides.
By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
10 “Aso! hayssafe nu kaallidi baana buussay daroo meetora dizayssi tas beettes; Markkabezan diza caanaza bollanne markkabeza bolla xalala gidoontta asa shemppo bollaka gita qohooy gakkana.”
“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
11 Xeistata halaqay qass Phawulossa zoreppe bollara markkabeza lagiza wanazinne marakabeza goday gizayssa siyides.
But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12 He markkabey eqqizasoy ballggoy adhdhana gakkanaas markkabes loo7o shempposo gidoontta gish dariza bagga asay “hammutha sinthth gujjanas dandda7ettiko away wullizasope duge baggarane puude baggara diza Pinqqe gizaso Qarxeese markkabe shempposo nu gakkidi ballggo heen aaththos” giidi ba qoofa shishshida.
Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
13 Duge baggara guuththa carkkooy carkkishin beeyidi istti qoppida mala hanana millattin baana kezida; Markkabey eqqizasope baana denddidi qarxxeese achchara dira dira oykkidi adhdhi bida.
When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
14 Gido attin guuththa wodepe guye “Away mokkizasope puude bagara yiza gote carkko” geetettiza iita wolliqama carkkoy abba gidoon diza dereype denddidi isttakko abba gidoo yides.
But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
15 Markkabeya carkkoy sugin carkkara eqqeettana dandda7ontta ixxin nu coou giidi carkkoy ehaaththaizaso bidos.
Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
16 Qeeda geetettiza abba gidoon diza dere dizarin geemettidi nu bishin daroo wayettidi markkabeza qeeri wogoloyo oykkidi essanas dandda7idos.
Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
17 Markkabeza laaggizayti qeeri wogoloyo markkabezako goochchi keessidi markkabeza woodorora xaxxida. Markkabezikka Surtese geetettiza abba accey dari dizason kunddontta mala babbidi iza bolla diza shaara woththidi carkkon laageti bida.
After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
18 Gote carkkoy miinni bida gish wonttetha gallas markkkabezan caanettida miishshata issa issa abba gidoo yeggeth oykkida.
We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.
19 Hedzdzanththo gallas markkabezas koshshiza miishshatakka ba kushera kessi kessi yeggida.
On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
20 Daroo wode gakkanaas awa arsheka xoolintteka beyontta aggida gishinne carkkoyka kasseppe miinni miinni biza gish hayssafe guye nu attana dandda7okko giza qohaaththaan ufays qanxidos.
When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.
21 Asay kathth moontta daro gallas uttides. Hessa gish phawulossay asa gidoon eqqidi hizgides “ha asato! Inte ta giza siyidi Qarxxeseppe denddonttako ha qohoyne ha dhayoy inte bolla gakkenakoshin.
After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.
22 Ha7ikka markkabezi xalla qohettana attin intefe issade shempoykka dhayenna. Hessa gish aykkoy bawa; babbofite gaada intena zorayssl.
But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.
23 Qamma omars ta izas gidida ta goynniza Xoossi kittida kitanchay ta achchan eqqidi
For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
24 (Phawulosa! Babbopa ne Qeessare sinththan eqqana beeses; hekko nenara isfe bizayta wurssi Xoossi ne gish hayqqope ashshana) giidi tas yootides.
and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25 Hessa gish inteno asato aykkoy bawa; Xoossi tas hayssa yootidayssa polanayssa ta ammanayss.
So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
26 Gidikokka hayssa gote carkkozi gede issi abba gidoon diza dere achchi ehaaththaidi nuna yeggana.”
However, we must run aground on some island.”
27 Taammanne oyddanththo qaamma Mediterane abba gidoon carkkoy nuna wayssishin bishe gidi giddothi markkabeza lagaizaytas abbafe biita bolla gakkida millatides.
On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28 Hessa gish abba ciimmmateth erranas abban yeggi xeelliza wodoro istti yeggi xeellishin; abba ciimmatethi oyddu taamu mitire keena gidi beettides; gammishe haikka yeggin hedzdzu taamu mitire keena ciimma gididayssa demmida.
They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep. Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.
29 Nu diza markkabey abba gaxxan diza zaalla shuchchara gaccetontta mala babbidi markkabezappe guye baggara markkabey qaxxontta mala nagiza dhishshike duge abba gidoo yeggida. Hessafe guye isttas qamay wonttana mala woossa oykida.
Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
30 Markabeza lagizayti markkabezape kezidi baqqatana koyda gish markkabezappe sinththa baggara markkabe naggiza dhishshke yegiza millatidi markkabeza bolla diza qeeri wogoloyo duge aabba gidoo yeggida.
Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
31 Hessa wode phawulossay xeetu olla asa hallaqane olla asa wotadarata “hayti markkabezan diza asati markkabeza bolla shemppidi uttontta aggiko intekka attana dandda7ekkista” gides.
But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 Hessa gish olla asati wogoloyo oykkida wodoroza qanxxi yeggin iza abba bolla tookistana mala yeedi aggida.
So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
33 Gadey wonttana gishin wurikka kathth maana mala phawulossay istta hizzgi wossides “inte aazi hananesha giidi hirgan kathth moontta aaggin hachchi taammane oyddanththo gaallaskko.
Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
34 Hessa gish inte kathth maana mala ta intena wossayss. Inte miikko miinnana; muleka aykko qohoykka inte bolla gakkena.”
So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
35 Izi hessa gidape guye kathth ekkidi xoossu galatidi asa wursso sinththan kaath muussu oykkides.
After he had said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Hessa wode wurikkka minetidi kaththi mida.
They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.
37 Markkabeza gidoon diza asay wuri nam77u xeistane laapun taammanne usupuna.
In all, there were 276 of us on board.
38 Wurikka mi kaallidape guye markkaben caanetida gistteza duge abba gidoo yeggidi markkabeza deexo kawushshida.
After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39 Gadey wonttin ba dizaso erribeytena. Gido attin accEy dizaso abba kirqqunththu demmida. Isttas dandda7etizako markkabeza he sugi shishshana qoppida.
When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40 Markkabeza oykkiza dhishike qanxidi aabba gidoo yeggida. He wode markkabe laggiza wodorota birshida. Ha baggara diza shaara carkko bagga dhoqu histtidi kezana abba gaxa bida.
Cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea as they loosened the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
41 Gido attin markkabeza droo accey koreti uttidayssara iccetidi duge gufaniddes.; Siidhe bolla duge dhishshiketidi qaxxonttayssa giddies. Qass abba dambbalay daroope denddidayssan guye baggara meqqereteth oykkides.
But the vessel struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was being broken up by the pounding of the waves.
42 Qachcho asappe isadeykka abban wodhdhidi kessi ekkontta mala olla asati wodhana qoppida.
The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom.
43 Xeistata hallaqay qass Phawulossa ashshanas koyda gish istta qohaaththaa ekkana koybeyna. Gido attin haththe waadhi errizayti markkabezape duge abban guppi guppi woodhdhidi gede biita bolla kezana mala azazides.
But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul’s life, thwarted their plan. He commanded those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
44 Hinkko attidayti qass sanqqata bollane markkabepe meeqqi wodhdhida sanqqa bolla abba pinnanamala azazides; hessaththo handdi wurikka saaron abba gidoofe biita bolla gakkida.
The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.
