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.
When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
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.
Embarking in a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a 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.
The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
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.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 tin pendi ki nagi Sisili yeni Panfili ñinkunu, ke ti sedi Miira, Lusi diema nni.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Lankani i ke sejenba kobga yudaano la ñinbiagu ke ku ñani Aleksandri ki caa Itali, Ke o kuani ti ku niinni.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
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.
When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of 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.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of 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,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished 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.”
and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of 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 gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were 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.
Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.
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.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
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.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
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.
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven 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.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure 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.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven 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.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Li daataali daali ku ñinbiagu tuonsɔnba den taa bi tuonsɔntiadi ki luni mi ñima nni.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
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.
When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now 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.
When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten 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.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Kelima, ku ñiagu nni, min cɔlni yua ya sanŋɔdma ki go pugi ya tienu maleki won legdi n po.
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
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, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25 Lanwani ii, yin paanii pala kelima n bani ke li ba tieni wan waani nni maama i.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Ama ti ba gedi ki tuoni kpendegli jaali i.”
But we must run aground on 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.
But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
28 Ban bigni mi ñima ñuamu, ki la miada piina (m 40); lan gedi waamu ban biigi ki la miada piitaa (m 30)
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found 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.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
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,
As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
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 to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
32 Lanwani ii, sejenba den jia ki ñinbiabiga baabi ki ŋa ke ki gedi fagma.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
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.
While the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken 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 urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
35 Wan maadi lani, ke o taa kpanu, ki jaandi U Tienu bi kuli ya nunbu nni. Ki ŋmiidi kpanu, ki cili ki ŋmani.
When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
36 Ke bikuli la li papaali ki dini.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Ti den tie niba 276 ku ñinbiagu nni.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on 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.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat 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.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
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.
Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
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.
But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
42 Sejenba den jagi ke ban kpa a kpaada, ban da ti dugi ki ciadi.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and 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, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward 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 should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
