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.
Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the imperial cohort.
2 Issiya abba achan diza dereta biza markkaben gillidi bidos. Tesellonqqen diza issi Maqidonyya asi Arisxxirokossa geetettizadey nunara dees.
So we embarked in a ship of Atramytium, being about to sail to points along the Asian coast, and we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of 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; Julius treated Paul kindly and permitted him to go to his friends and receive care.
4 Heepe danddi nu bishin sinththa baggara carkkoy nu bolla carkkiza gish abba gidoon diza Qophphorosse deren gemmetidi gede sinththe bidos.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
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 sea that is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6 Heen xeistata hallaqay Xallane dere biza iskkinddiriya dere markkabe demmidi nuna izan gellithides.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria 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.
When we had sailed slowly many days and scarcely arrived opposite Cnidus, the wind did not allow us to go forward, so we sailed for the lee of Crete by way of Salmone;
8 Daroo wayettidi dira dira oykki nu adhdhidape guye Lasyya giza kaatama achchan diza “Loo7o” geetettiza markabe getetizaso gakkidos.
sailing along it with difficulty we came to a certain 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.
Much time had been lost and sailing was already dangerous, because even the Fast had already taken place; Paul repeatedly warned 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.”
saying, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is about to be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but even of our lives.”
11 Xeistata halaqay qass Phawulossa zoreppe bollara markkabeza lagiza wanazinne marakabeza goday gizayssa siyides.
But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and ship owner rather than by what Paul said.
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.
And since the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised sailing on, to see if they could get to Phoenix in order to winter, it being a harbor of Crete facing 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.
So when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
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 not long after, a cyclonic wind blasted down from the land (it is called Euroclydon).
15 Markkabeya carkkoy sugin carkkara eqqeettana dandda7ontta ixxin nu coou giidi carkkoy ehaaththaizaso bidos.
Well the ship was caught and could not head into the wind, so we gave up and were driven along.
16 Qeeda geetettiza abba gidoon diza dere dizarin geemettidi nu bishin daroo wayettidi markkabeza qeeri wogoloyo oykkidi essanas dandda7idos.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we barely managed to secure the skiff;
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.
when they had hoisted it aboard, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing that they might fall into the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and so were driven along.
18 Gote carkkoy miinni bida gish wonttetha gallas markkkabezan caanettida miishshata issa issa abba gidoo yeggeth oykkida.
We were being so violently battered by the storm that the next day they began to jettison things,
19 Hedzdzanththo gallas markkabezas koshshiza miishshatakka ba kushera kessi kessi yeggida.
and on the third we threw off the ship's tackle with our 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 a major storm was still pounding us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
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.
Now after long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said: “Well men, it would have been better to take my advice and not sail from Crete, only to ‘gain’ this damage 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 take heart, because there will be no loss of life among you, only of the ship.
23 Qamma omars ta izas gidida ta goynniza Xoossi kittida kitanchay ta achchan eqqidi
This night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood by 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. Furthermore, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Hessa gish inteno asato aykkoy bawa; Xoossi tas hayssa yootidayssa polanayssa ta ammanayss.
So take courage, men, because I believe in God that it will be just as it was told me.
26 Gidikokka hayssa gote carkkozi gede issi abba gidoon diza dere achchi ehaaththaidi nuna yeggana.”
Also, we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Taammanne oyddanththo qaamma Mediterane abba gidoon carkkoy nuna wayssishin bishe gidi giddothi markkabeza lagaizaytas abbafe biita bolla gakkida millatides.
Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven here and there in the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were nearing some 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 a sounding and found twenty fathoms; going on a little they took a sounding again and found 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.
So fearing that we might be driven into a rocky area, they dropped four anchors from the stern and started praying for day to come.
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.
Now under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, the sailors lowered the skiff into the sea, intending to flee from the ship;
31 Hessa wode phawulossay xeetu olla asa hallaqane olla asa wotadarata “hayti markkabezan diza asati markkabeza bolla shemppidi uttontta aggiko intekka attana dandda7ekkista” gides.
so Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 Hessa gish olla asati wogoloyo oykkida wodoroza qanxxi yeggin iza abba bolla tookistana mala yeedi aggida.
Then the soldiers severed the ropes of the skiff and let it fall away.
33 Gadey wonttana gishin wurikka kathth maana mala phawulossay istta hizzgi wossides “inte aazi hananesha giidi hirgan kathth moontta aaggin hachchi taammane oyddanththo gaallaskko.
While the day was coming on, Paul started urging them all to receive food, saying: “Today is the fourteenth day of waiting—you continue without eating, having taken nothing.
34 Hessa gish inte kathth maana mala ta intena wossayss. Inte miikko miinnana; muleka aykko qohoykka inte bolla gakkena.”
Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, because this is for our survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.”
35 Izi hessa gidape guye kathth ekkidi xoossu galatidi asa wursso sinththan kaath muussu oykkides.
Upon saying this he picked up some 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.
So they all were encouraged and took food themselves.
37 Markkabeza gidoon diza asay wuri nam77u xeistane laapun taammanne usupuna.
(In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.)
38 Wurikka mi kaallidape guye markkaben caanetida gistteza duge abba gidoo yeggidi markkabeza deexo kawushshida.
So when they had eaten enough, they started lightening the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Gadey wonttin ba dizaso erribeytena. Gido attin accEy dizaso abba kirqqunththu demmida. Isttas dandda7etizako markkabeza he sugi shishshana qoppida.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship, if possible.
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.
Casting off the anchors they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they 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 they fell into a place where two seas met and ran the vessel aground; the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the violence of the waves.
42 Qachcho asappe isadeykka abban wodhdhidi kessi ekkontta mala olla asati wodhana qoppida.
Now the plan of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
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 save Paul, stopped them from doing it and ordered those who could swim to jump in first and go toward the land,
44 Hinkko attidayti qass sanqqata bollane markkabepe meeqqi wodhdhida sanqqa bolla abba pinnanamala azazides; hessaththo handdi wurikka saaron abba gidoofe biita bolla gakkida.
followed by the rest, some on planks and some on things from the ship. And in this way they all escaped safely to the land.
