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 handed over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius, a Captain of the Augustan battalion;
2 Issiya abba achan diza dereta biza markkaben gillidi bidos. Tesellonqqen diza issi Maqidonyya asi Arisxxirokossa geetettizadey nunara dees.
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.
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 put in at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul with thoughtful kindness and allowed him to visit his friends and profit by their generous 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 again, we sailed under 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, sailing the whole length of the sea that lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
6 Heen xeistata hallaqay Xallane dere biza iskkinddiriya dere markkabe demmidi nuna izan gellithides.
There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.
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.
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.
8 Daroo wayettidi dira dira oykki nu adhdhidape guye Lasyya giza kaatama achchan diza “Loo7o” geetettiza markabe getetizaso gakkidos.
Then, coasting along with difficulty, we reached 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.
Our voyage thus far had occupied a considerable time, and the navigation being now unsafe and the Fast also already over, Paul 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.”
"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."
11 Xeistata halaqay qass Phawulossa zoreppe bollara markkabeza lagiza wanazinne marakabeza goday gizayssa siyides.
But Julius let himself be persuaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments;
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 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.
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.
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.
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 furious north-east wind, coming down from the mountains, burst upon us and carried the ship out of her course.
15 Markkabeya carkkoy sugin carkkara eqqeettana dandda7ontta ixxin nu coou giidi carkkoy ehaaththaizaso bidos.
She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive.
16 Qeeda geetettiza abba gidoon diza dere dizarin geemettidi nu bishin daroo wayettidi markkabeza qeeri wogoloyo oykkidi essanas dandda7idos.
Then we ran under the lee of a little island called Cauda, where we managed with great difficulty to secure the boat;
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.
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.
18 Gote carkkoy miinni bida gish wonttetha gallas markkkabezan caanettida miishshata issa issa abba gidoo yeggeth oykkida.
But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship;
19 Hedzdzanththo gallas markkabezas koshshiza miishshatakka ba kushera kessi kessi yeggida.
and, on the third day, with their own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 Ha7ikka markkabezi xalla qohettana attin intefe issade shempoykka dhayenna. Hessa gish aykkoy bawa; babbofite gaada intena zorayssl.
But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only.
23 Qamma omars ta izas gidida ta goynniza Xoossi kittida kitanchay ta achchan eqqidi
For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship,
24 (Phawulosa! Babbopa ne Qeessare sinththan eqqana beeses; hekko nenara isfe bizayta wurssi Xoossi ne gish hayqqope ashshana) giidi tas yootides.
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.'
25 Hessa gish inteno asato aykkoy bawa; Xoossi tas hayssa yootidayssa polanayssa ta ammanayss.
"Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told.
26 Gidikokka hayssa gote carkkozi gede issi abba gidoon diza dere achchi ehaaththaidi nuna yeggana.”
But we are to be stranded on a certain island."
27 Taammanne oyddanththo qaamma Mediterane abba gidoon carkkoy nuna wayssishin bishe gidi giddothi markkabeza lagaizaytas abbafe biita bolla gakkida millatides.
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.
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.
So they hove the lead and found twenty fathoms of water; and after a short time they hove 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.
Then for fear of possibly running on rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern and waited impatiently for daylight.
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.
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.
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, addressing Julius and the soldiers, said, "Your lives will be sacrificed, unless these men remain on board."
32 Hessa gish olla asati wogoloyo oykkida wodoroza qanxxi yeggin iza abba bolla tookistana mala yeedi aggida.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off.
33 Gadey wonttana gishin wurikka kathth maana mala phawulossay istta hizzgi wossides “inte aazi hananesha giidi hirgan kathth moontta aaggin hachchi taammane oyddanththo gaallaskko.
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.
34 Hessa gish inte kathth maana mala ta intena wossayss. Inte miikko miinnana; muleka aykko qohoykka inte bolla gakkena.”
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."
35 Izi hessa gidape guye kathth ekkidi xoossu galatidi asa wursso sinththan kaath muussu oykkides.
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.
36 Hessa wode wurikkka minetidi kaththi mida.
This raised the spirits of all, and they too took food.
37 Markkabeza gidoon diza asay wuri nam77u xeistane laapun taammanne usupuna.
There were 276 of us, crew and passengers, all told.
38 Wurikka mi kaallidape guye markkaben caanetida gistteza duge abba gidoo yeggidi markkabeza deexo kawushshida.
After eating a hearty meal they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.
39 Gadey wonttin ba dizaso erribeytena. Gido attin accEy dizaso abba kirqqunththu demmida. Isttas dandda7etizako markkabeza he sugi shishshana qoppida.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
42 Qachcho asappe isadeykka abban wodhdhidi kessi ekkontta mala olla asati wodhana qoppida.
Now the soldiers recommended that the prisoners should be killed, for fear some one of them might swim ashore and effect his 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 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;
44 Hinkko attidayti qass sanqqata bollane markkabepe meeqqi wodhdhida sanqqa bolla abba pinnanamala azazides; hessaththo handdi wurikka saaron abba gidoofe biita bolla gakkida.
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.
