Jesu Tondiba Tuona 27
1 Ban jagi ke ti ba kua ku ñinbiagu ki gedi Itali, ke bi taa Pɔli yeni ya kpaada n sieni ki mubni Ogusti sejenba kobga yudaano nui nni, ke bi yii o Juliwusi.
And when it was determined that we should sail away into Italy, they committed both Paul and certain other prisoners to the centurion, Julius by name, of the band of Augustus.
2 Ti den kua ya ñinbiagu n ñani Adramiti ki ba balni Asi ñinkunu. yeni ke ti den kua mi ñincianma nni. Aristarki, Maseduani diema nni Tesaloniki jua den yegi yeni ti.
And having embarked on an Adramyttium ship, about to sail to those places along Asia, we set sail; Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Lan fiifandi, ti den sedi Sidɔn dociamu nni, lankani, Juliwusi den kubi Pɔli yeni mi yanduanma, hali ki cabi o ke o gedi ki ban ga o kpiiba cangu.
And on the following day we disembarked at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, permitted him having gone to his friends to receive their benefactions.
4 Tin ñani lankani, ti den suagi liiga mi ñincianma nni ki sedi Cihipri kpendegli kani, naani n legni ti yeni u faalu, kelima u faalu den togdi ti.
And having embarked from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary:
5 tin pendi ki nagi Sisili yeni Panfili ñinkunu, ke ti sedi Miira, Lusi diema nni.
and having sailed through the sea which is opposite Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down into Myra of Lycia.
6 Lankani i ke sejenba kobga yudaano la ñinbiagu ke ku ñani Aleksandri ki caa Itali, Ke o kuani ti ku niinni.
And there the centurion having found an Alexandrian ship sailing into Italy; transferred us into it.
7 Tin fii ki cuoni waamu waamu nani dana bá, ki mɔndi ki pundi Kinidi, u faalu ki tuo ke tin tin cuoni, lanwani ii, ti den kpibi u sanu ki toli ki balni Kreti ñinkunu naani n liegi ki toli Salmɔni.
And sailing slowly during many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not favoring us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone;
8 Ti den cuoni yeni fala ki balni u ñinkunu hali ki ban pundi kaanu bá ke bi yii Feri Hafensi ki u kuu yeni Laseya dociamu.
and, with difficulty passing by it, we came into a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea.
9 Ti den sedi likani ke li waagi waamu, kelima Juufinba nɔlolma mo den pendi o, li cenli ti sanu po ji den bia, lanyapo, Pɔli den tuodi ki waani ba,
And much time passing away, and navigation being already unsafe, because the Fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them,
10 ki maadi, “N yegni, N la ke tin bua fii ya sanu ne baa pia mi janjanma, ti go ba biani a bona boncianli, laa tie a tuga yeni ku ñinbiagu baba ka, ama, ti miana mo.”
saying to them, Men, I perceive that this voyage is going to be with peril and much loss, not only with the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Ama sejenba kobga yudaano den cengi o ñinbiakudlo yeni o bondaano maama i, o den ki cengi Pɔli maama.
But the centurion trusted the pilot and midshipman, rather than the things spoken by Paul.
12 Kelima li den ki ŋani ku faawaagu ń cua ki naa ti li ñinbiayaali kani a ninbiakudla boncianla den cegli ba ke ban fii likani, biya ba mɔndi ki pundi Foniksi, ku fawaagu ń naa ba lanpo. Foniksi tie Kreti ñinbiayaali ki ye yaanga nintuali yeni yanbangu nintuali sanu po.
And the harbor being unsafe for spending the winter, most of them projected to the council to depart thence, if perchance they might be able, having arrived into Phoenix, to spend the winter there; a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southeast and the northeast.
13 Yanbangu faalu ń cili ki figi suo suo, bi den bani ke ban bua maama n yeni, ke bi yugdi ti kudkpiagdi, ki fii, ki balni Kreti ñinkunu, kaa fagi yeni li jaali.
And the south wind blowing, thinking they could achieve their purpose, lifting up a sail, they went coasting along near Crete.
14 Ama lan yani waamu, ku faaciangu yu n figi yeni u paalu ke bi yii u Erakilɔn nũani li kpendegli po, ki figi boncianla.
Not long afterward a typhonic wind, called Euraquilo, set in against her;
15 Ku ñinbiagu den ki fidi ki ba tuogi ku faaciangu; nani kun den ki tuo pegdima yeni ii, bi ji den ŋa ke ku faaciangu tugi ku ñinbiagu ki caa yeni gu kun bua naani.
and the ship having been seized, and being unable to resist the wind, having given away to it, we were borne along.
16 Ti den tɔgni ki balni naani ke Kawuda kpendegli legni ti; ti den la fala paaa ki ti fidi ki seni ki ñinbiabigu yaaga n ba faabi ti.
And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get possession of the boat:
17 Ban fidi ki yugdi ki ñinbiabiga ki kuani, ke bi taa u baabu, ki loli ki tabni ku ñinbiaciangu. Bi den jie ke ku ñinbiagu ń da ti gedi ki tuoni Sirti tanbiibenli, lanwani ii, bi den gbabi ki jiini a ñinbiacaba ki ji ŋa ke ku faagu tudi ku ñinbiagu.
which lifting up they used helps, under-girding the ship; and fearing lest they might fall into Syrtis, lowering the gear, they were thus carried along.
18 ku taafaagu den figi ki pua ti hali boncianla, lanwani ii, bi den cili ki ñangi ku ñinbiagu tuga ki lu mi ñima nni.
And we being tossed violently by the storm, they were successively making the casting out,
19 Li daataali daali ku ñinbiagu tuonsɔnba den taa bi tuonsɔntiadi ki luni mi ñima nni.
and on the third day with their own hands they threw overboard the tackling of the ship;
20 Nani lan den tieni dana ke u yienu yeni a ŋmaabila den ki ñani, ke ku taafaagu mo pua ti yeni, ti naa ji den daani ke ti ba baa faabma bakuli.
and neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and there being no small tempest on us, finally all hope of saving us was taken away.
21 Ban den tieni lanya dana kaa dini liba yeni, ke Pɔli sedi ku ñinbiagu tuonsɔnba siiga ki yedi ba, “N yegni, i den ya cengi n gadi, i den kan fii ki cua Kreti tin kua ya janjanma nni ke ti ye ne yeni tin biani yaali ne kuli.
And there being much fasting, Paul standing in their midst, said, O men, truly it behooved you obeying me, not to depart from Crete, and incur this injury and loss.
22 N ji tigni yi ke yin paani i pala, kelima ti siiga nni nilo ji kan biani o miali, li ya ki tie ku ñinbiagu yaagu n ba bia yaa ka.
And now I exhort you to take courage: for there will be no loss of the life of you, except the ship.
23 Kelima, ku ñiagu nni, min cɔlni yua ya sanŋɔdma ki go pugi ya tienu maleki won legdi n po.
For the angel of God, whose I am, and whom indeed I serve, stood by me this night,
24 ki yedi nni, 'Da jie Pɔli, a ba pundi Sesari nintuali, go diidi, U Tienu ŋancianma po, o guuni a yaaba n yegi yeni a ne ke obakuli kan biani o miali.
saying, Fear not, Paul; for it behooveth thee to stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has given thee all those sailing along with thee.
25 Lanwani ii, yin paanii pala kelima n bani ke li ba tieni wan waani nni maama i.
Therefore cheer up, O men: for I believe God, that it shall be according to the manner which He has spoken to me.
26 Ama ti ba gedi ki tuoni kpendegli jaali i.”
But it behooves us to fall upon a certain island.
27 Tin pundi piiga n ñiataagu, ke ti li kubi ti sanu Adriatiki ñincianma po yeni, ku yɔgsiigu, a ñinbiakudla tama ke ti nagdi gbangbanli i.
And when it was the fourteenth night, we being borne along in the Adriatic Sea, about the middle of the night the sailors surmised that some country was coming to them.
28 Ban bigni mi ñima ñuamu, ki la miada piina (m 40); lan gedi waamu ban biigi ki la miada piitaa (m 30)
And having sounded, they found it twenty fathoms; and moving on a short distance, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms;
29 Bi den jie ke ti ba tuoni tangbaagu i, lani n den cedi ke bi jiini ku ñinbiagu kugkpiaga na, ki ji jaandi ke lan fandi tonma.
and fearing lest they may fall out against rough places, casting four anchors from the stern, they were praying that the day should come.
30 A ñinbiakudla den bua ban ña ki ŋa ku ñinbiagu, ki jiini mi faabma ñinbiabiga mi ñima nni, ki ji tie nani bi bua jiini liiga ya kudkpiagdi yeni,
And the sailors seeking to escape from the ship, and lowering the boat into the sea, with a pretext as about to cast anchors from the prow,
31 Ama Pɔli den yedi seje yudaano yeni sejenba, “Bi niba ne yaa ye ku ñinbiagu nni, i kan baa faabma.”
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these may remain in the ship, you are not able to be saved.
32 Lanwani ii, sejenba den jia ki ñinbiabiga baabi ki ŋa ke ki gedi fagma.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes away from the boat, and let it fall out.
33 Lan cili ki fandi, ke Pɔli paani bi pala ke ban la mi jiema ki di. O den maadi, “Dinne tie li piiga n danaali n yeni ke i guu kaa di liba kuli; jiema ki kua i ñɔbu nni.
But until the day was about to come, Paul exhorted all to take food, saying, Already this day you remain in a state of solicitude, the fourteenth day, receiving nothing.
34 Lanwani ii, n paandi i pala ke yin kali ki bɔgdi mi jiema ki taani ki di, kelima li ba todi yin baa mi faabma. I siiga bá niyendo kan biani o yudi bá yuyengu.”
Therefore I exhort you to take food: for this is for your safety: for not a hair of your head shall perish.
35 Wan maadi lani, ke o taa kpanu, ki jaandi U Tienu bi kuli ya nunbu nni. Ki ŋmiidi kpanu, ki cili ki ŋmani.
And having spoken these words, and taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and breaking it, began to eat.
36 Ke bikuli la li papaali ki dini.
And all becoming cheerful, themselves also took food.
37 Ti den tie niba 276 ku ñinbiagu nni.
And we were two hundred and seventy-six souls in the ship.
38 Ban dini ki guo, ke bi luni ban tugi ya ŋalkaama (kpanu tiibima) mi ñima nni, ki bua ban yuagi ku ñinbiagu.
And having been revived by the food, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat over into the sea.
39 Lan den fandi i, bi den ki bandi ban nanli ya tinga, Ama bi den la ñinlaagu ke ku jaali tie tanbiinbenli. Bi den maali ke ban gedi ki sieni ku ñinbiagu lankani i.
And when it was day, they did not recognize the land: but discovered a certain gulf having a shore, into which they determined, if possible, to thrust out the ship.
40 Bi den jia ti kudkpiagdi ki ŋa ke ti mii mi ñima nni, layognu ke bi pɔbdi ki duoni a ñinbiacaba ke u faalu pieni ku ñinbiagu ki gedi yeni gu li jaali po.
And having knocked off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders, and raising up the main sail to the blowing wind, they made for the shore.
41 Bi den sedi faali lie ń cendi naani i, ke ku ñinbiagu gedi ki feli ku tanbiingu nni. Liiga den feli ki cedi ke ku ñinbiagu se kaanyendu kaa migni. Ama a ñinguona den pua paama, ki mudi ku ñinbiagu puoli.
And having fallen into a place where two seas met, they broke the ship, and indeed the prow, sticking fast, remained motionless, but the stern was torn off by the violence (of the wind).
42 Sejenba den jagi ke ban kpa a kpaada, ban da ti dugi ki ciadi.
And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest some one, having outswum them, might escape:
43 Ama sejeyudaano den bua wan faabi Pɔli, lani n den cedi ke o yie bi jagli. O den yedi ke yaaba n ba fidi ki dugi mi ñima ń dugi ki pundi li jaali po.
but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, forbade them from their counsel; and commanded that those who were able to swim, having first thrown themselves overboard, to go to the land;
44 Ya niba n sieni den ŋɔdi bi tiaba i a taaba po yaaba n sieni ban baa yaali ku ñinbiagu nni, ke li ba todi ban dugi ki pundi li jaali. Li den tieni yeni i, ke tikuli baa mi faabma ki pundi li jaali (ki tinga) po.
and the rest, some on planks, and others on some parts from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
