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 determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
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.
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 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 landed at Tsaidan. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to 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 there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Ze yakilaa kutula katunga u muhinzo mu mazi nakoli pakupi ni Kilikia ni Pamfilia, kikapembya ku Mira, kisali nika Lisia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of 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.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
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.
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 Kikatunga u muhinzo mu nshemba ku ukaku, kupikiila kianza nai kitangilwe Fari Haveni naiza kikoli pakupi ni kisali nika Lasi.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city 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,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished 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.”
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 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 gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were 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.
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 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.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Kuiti ze yakilaa itungo ikupi ng'wega utaki, nuitangwaa nua hukuma kilya, ukandya ku ukua kupuma itumbi nila kisiwa.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
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 were driven along.
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.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the 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 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 Kika kuwa ku ngulu nangaluu nu kimpupu, itigwa luhiku nai lutyatile ia baharia akandya kuguma i miligo kupuma mu meli.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Mahiku a taatu, ia baharia akandya kumapumya i mazi ku mikono ao akola.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
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.
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 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 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 Ni itungili kumupoeelya mipe inkolo, ku nsoko shanga ikutula nu ulimili nua likalo kati anyu, kwaala ulimili nua meli du.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for 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 there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
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.
saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25 Iti gwa, agoha, ipi i nkolo, ku nsoko nu muhuiie Itunda, kina ikutula anga nintambuiwe.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Kuiti kusinja kuaalike ku kukuwa mu ing'wi nia isiwa.”
But we must run aground on 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.
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 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.
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings 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.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
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.
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 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 stay in 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 away the ropes of the boat, and let it 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 Uu gwa ihi akakuiligwa inkolo ni enso akahola indya.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Ai katulaa antu 276 mukati a meli.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Nai akondya kulya nu kikuta, ai amizipilye i meli kutula mpepeele ku kuguma i ngano mukati a luzi.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
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 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 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.
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 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 vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
42 Isigo nila asikali awo ai latulaa la kuabulaga i atungwa, iti kina kutili nai uziipumpa nu kutigana.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and 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, 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 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 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.
