Ntendo nia itumi 27
1 Nai ilamuwe kina itakiwe kutunga muhinzo ku mazi kulongola ku Italia, ai aminkiiye uPaulo ni atungwa angiiza kung'wa afisa ung'wi nua idale nila Kiroma nai witangwaa Julio, nua idale lang'wa Agustani.
When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to hand over Paul and a few other prisoners to the custody of Julius, a centurion of the Imperial Regiment.
2 Kikanankila i meli kupuma ku Adramitamu, naiza ituile itunge muhinzo mu mpelo mpelo a nshemba a Asia. Iti gwa ki kingila mu luzi. uAristaka kupuma ku Thesalonike a ku Makedonia akalongola palung'wi nu sese.
We embarked in a ship of Adramyttium which was about to sail to the ports of the province of Asia, and put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, accompanied us.
3 Luhiku nai lutyatile kikasimya u ludigi mu kisali nika ku Sidoni, naiza uJulio ai umutendee uPaulo ku ukende nu kumulekela kulongola ku ahumbauya akwe kusingiilya u ukende nuao.
The next day we touched at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to visit his friends and refresh himself.
4 Kupuma papo kikalongola mu luzi kikatunga u muhinzo kupilimikiilya i kisiwa nika Kipro naiza katuile kiku kingama u ng'wega, ku nsoko u ng'wega ai watulaa ukugilinkiiye.
Putting to sea from thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us;
5 Ze yakilaa kutula katunga u muhinzo mu mazi nakoli pakupi ni Kilikia ni Pamfilia, kikapembya ku Mira, kisali nika Lisia.
and after sailing across the Cilician and Pamphylian waters, we came to Myra, in Lycia.
6 Pang'wanso u afisa uyo nu idale nila Kiroma, akamihanga i meli kupuma ku Alexandria naiza ituile ikatunga muhinzo kutunga ku Italia. Akakunankilya mukati akwe.
And there the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.
7 Ze yakilaa kutula katunga u muhinzo ku uembeelu ku mahiku idu ni panyambele kikatula kapika ku lwago pakupi ni Kinidas, u ng'wega shanga wikakulekela hangi kutunga i nzila nanso, itigwa kikatunga u muhinzo mu mpelo mpelo a mululi nua ku Krete kize ku ukigamile u ng'wega, kuhumbeela ni Salmone.
For many days we sailed slowly, and then arrived with difficulty over against Cnidus; from this point, as the wind did not further favor us, we ran under the lee of Crete, off Cape Salmone;
8 Kikatunga u muhinzo mu nshemba ku ukaku, kupikiila kianza nai kitangilwe Fari Haveni naiza kikoli pakupi ni kisali nika Lasi.
and coasting along with difficulty we reached a place called Fair Havens, not far from the town of Lasea.
9 Ai katulaa kaholaa matungo idu nangaluu, ga ni itungo nila kuhita kulya nila Kiyahudi ai latulaa lakila, ni itungili ai yatulaa ulugu kulongoleka nu muhinzo. Iti gwa uPaulo aka kuhugula,
By this time the season was far advanced, and sailing had become dangerous (for the Autumn Fast was past); so Paul began to warn them.
10 nu kuligitya, “Agoha, kihenga u muhinzo naiza kuloilwe ku uhole ukutula nu ubii nu u ulya widu, shanga udu ku miligo ni meli, kuiti ga nu ku likalo litu.”
"Sirs," he said to them, "I perceive that the voyage will be attended with injury and serious loss, not only to the cargo and to the ship, but also to our own lives."
11 Kuiti u afisa nu idale nila Kiroma akamutegeelya ikilo u mukulu nuakwe nu mukola hiu nua meli, kukila i makani ayo naiza akutambulwa nu Paulo.
But the centurion paid greater heed to the master and to the owner than to anything that was spoken by Paul;
12 Ku nsoko i bandari shanga ai atulaa kipango kitontu kikie itungo nila ulyuuku, ia baharia idu akasija kutunge u muhinzo kupuma pang'wanso, iti ku mpyani ihi anga kuhume ku kipikiila i kisali nika Foenike, kikie pang'wanso itungo nila u ulyuuku. Foenike ingi bandari uko ku Krete, hangi igozee hukuma kilya ni takama kilya.
and as the harbor was ill adapted for winter quarters, the majority advised putting out to sea from thence, to see whether they could get to Phoenix and winter there, a harbor on the coast of Crete facing northeast and southeast.
13 U ng'wega nua takama nai wandilye ku kunka ku uembeelu, ia baharia akasigiila alija iko naiza atulaa akiloilwe. Akipa u ludigi nu kutunga u muhinzo mpelompelo a Krete pakupi ni nshemba.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14 Kuiti ze yakilaa itungo ikupi ng'wega utaki, nuitangwaa nua hukuma kilya, ukandya ku ukua kupuma itumbi nila kisiwa.
But it was not long before a furious wind, called Euroclydon, rushed down from the island;
15 Matungo i meli nai ihumeeigwe nu kuleng'wa ku ugilinkiilya u ng'wega, ki kigombya ni hali yiyo kikatwalwa muhinzo nu wenso.
when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and let her drive.
16 Kikamanka kukiila u ng'wega nuanso nkika nai atulaa ikuukingila ung'wega nua kisiwa nikitangwaa Kauda; ni ku lwago nangaluu ai kuligilye ku uguniilya u mutumbwi.
Then we ran under the lee of a little island named Claudia, where with great difficulty we were able to secure the ship’s boat.
17 Ze yakilaa kutula kamilutaa, ai atumie ludigi kumitunga i meli. Akitumba kina kuzeehuma kulongola mu kipango nika mahalu idu nika Syiti, iti gwa akasimya u ludigi hangi ai alongoigwe mu mpelo mpelo.
After hauling it aboard, they used ropes to undergird the ship, and since they were fearful lest they should be driven upon the Syrtes, they lowered the gear and lay to.
18 Kika kuwa ku ngulu nangaluu nu kimpupu, itigwa luhiku nai lutyatile ia baharia akandya kuguma i miligo kupuma mu meli.
And as we were being terribly battered by the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard,
19 Mahiku a taatu, ia baharia akandya kumapumya i mazi ku mikono ao akola.
and on the third day with their own hands they threw the ship’s tackling overboard.
20 Matungo naiza ilyoa ni nzota shanga ai yukalikie ku mahiku idu, ikili u kimpupu mukulu ai ukukuile, ni isumbiilyo kina kikagunwa ai li limie.
Then when for many days neither sun nor stars were seen, and a great tempest still beat upon us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away from us.
21 Ze yakilaa kutula alongolaa matungo malipu bila ndya, pang'wanso uPaulo akimika pakati a abaharia akalingitya, “Agoha, mutakiwe muntegeelye, hangi shanga aza kuziipa u ludigi kupuma ku Krete, iti kulija aya u ulugu nu ulimili.
When for a long time they had been without food, Paul stood among them and said. "Men, you ought to have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and so have spared yourselves this injury and loss.
22 Ni itungili kumupoeelya mipe inkolo, ku nsoko shanga ikutula nu ulimili nua likalo kati anyu, kwaala ulimili nua meli du.
"But now take courage. There will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship,
23 Ku nsoko utiku nuakilaa malaika wang'wa Itunda, naiza Itunda uyo unene niakwe, ga ni hangi naiza nimipoelya - malaika nuakwe ai wimikile pa mpelo ane
"for last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me and said.
24 nu kuligitya, “Leka kitumba Paulo. Kusinja wimike ntongeela ang'wa Kaisari, hangi goza, Itunda mu ukende nuakwe ukinkiiye awa ihi naza atungile u muhinzo palung'wi nu ewe.
"‘Fear not, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you.’
25 Iti gwa, agoha, ipi i nkolo, ku nsoko nu muhuiie Itunda, kina ikutula anga nintambuiwe.
"So take courage, men! I believe God, I believe that things will turn out exactly as it has been told me.
26 Kuiti kusinja kuaalike ku kukuwa mu ing'wi nia isiwa.”
"But we must be cast upon a certain island."
27 Nai ipikile u utiku wigengu, nai ikatula kulongoigwe kunu nu kunu mu luzi nula Adratik, anga u utiku nu igengu iti, abaharia ai asigile kina ahumbeela kihi ni nyumu.
It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near to some land.
28 Ai atumie mililo kugemela kina ulundu nua imazi nu kulija mita makumi a taatu ni mutandatu, ze yakilaa itungo ikupi akagemela hangi akalija mita makumi abiili ni mupungati.
So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; and after a little they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Ai itumbile hanza kuhumile kukumpa matalagwe, iti gwa akasimya i nanga inne kupuma mu nkika a kuikila i nanga hangi akalompa kina idau aza izee kaya kuza.
Then, fearing lest we should run ashore on the rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern, and longed for day to come.
30 Awo i abaharia ai atulaa akuduma mpyani a kumigumaniilya i meli nanso hangi akasimya mu mazi i boti ni niino niino nia kugunila u likalo, hangi akitendisa kina akuguma nanga kupuma mu nkika a kuntongeela a boti.
And when the sailors were trying to flee from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea under pretext of laying anchors from the bow,
31 Kuiti uPaulo akamuila u asikali uyo nuidale nila Kiroma ni asikali awo, “Shanga mukuhuma kugunika kwaala antu awa niakusiga mu meli,”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain on the ship, you cannot be saved."
32 Uugwa i asikali awo akatinanga i ndigi nia boti izo nu kulekwa iholwe ni mazi.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship’s boat and let her fall off.
33 Matungo u welu nua kidau dau nai watula ukupumila, uPaulo aka asinja ihi ageme kulya iniino. Akaligitya, “Ulu luhiku nula ikumi na inne mulindiie shanga mukulya, mukili kulya i kintu.
And while day was dawning, Paul kept urging them all to take some food. "This is the fourteenth day," he said, "that you have been on the watch, fasting, having eaten nothing.
34 Iti gwa kuminena muhole indya iniino, ku nsoko iyi ingi kunsoko a kikie kitalanyu; hangi kutili ga nu lusingi lung'wi mu matwe anyu nulukulimila.
"So I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety. For there shall not a hair perish from the head of any one of you."
35 Nai wakondya kuligitya nanso, akahola u mukate akamulumba Itunda ntongeela a miho a kila muntu. Uugwa akau ega u mukate akandya kulya.
When he had so said and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God before them all, and broke it and began to eat.
36 Uu gwa ihi akakuiligwa inkolo ni enso akahola indya.
Then they all cheered up and themselves took food.
37 Ai katulaa antu 276 mukati a meli.
There were in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls, all told.
38 Nai akondya kulya nu kikuta, ai amizipilye i meli kutula mpepeele ku kuguma i ngano mukati a luzi.
After eating a hearty meal, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.
39 Nai ikatula mung'wi, shanga ai amilingile ihi ni nyumu, kuiti akihenga kipango kihi ni nyumu nai kingie mukati a mazi nai katula ni mahalu idu. Akitambulya anga ize ahumile kumilongolya i meli kutunga pang'wanso.
When it was day they tried in vain to recognize the land, but they spied an inlet with a sandy beach, and they began conferring to see whether they could drive the ship into it.
40 Iti gwa akaitolya i nanga akailekela mu luzi Mu itungo lilo liilo akaitolya i nanga nia itanga nu kumihumbula i nkika a kuntongeela kutunga mu ng'wega, iti gwa akatunga mu nkika a mahalu idu.
They cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, and unloosing at the same time the ropes that tied the rudders, they hoisted the foresail to the breeze, and headed for the beach.
41 Kuiti akapembya kianza naiza ukiilo ubiili nua mazi utankanie, ni meli ikatunga mu mahalu. Ni nkika iyo na ntongeela a meli ikakigama pang'wanso shanga ai ihumile kupuma, Kuiti i kipango nika ntongeela a meli kikandya kubunika ku nsoko a utaki nua maingu.
But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; the bow struck and remained fixed, but the stern began to break up under the violence of the waves.
42 Isigo nila asikali awo ai latulaa la kuabulaga i atungwa, iti kina kutili nai uziipumpa nu kutigana.
Now the soldiers were planning to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim off and so escape.
43 Kuiti u asikali uyo nu idale nila Kiroma ai uloilwe kumuguna uPaulo, iti gwa akimisha i masigo ao; nu kulagiilya awo nia humile kipumpa, apute kupuma mu meli hanza nu kulongola kihi ni nyumu.
But the centurion kept them from their purpose, because he wished to save Paul. He gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;
44 Uugwa i agoha ni angiiza akutyata, i auya migulya a ipande nia mabada ni auya migulya a intu ingiiza kupuma mu meli. Ku nzila iyi ikapumila kina ihi kuupika iziza kihi ni nyumu.
and that the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other bits of wreckage. And so it came to pass that all escaped safe to the land.
