Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 27
1 Yejile yalamulwa ati kuchiile chigende mu lugendo lwa maji okuja Italia, nibhamuyana Paulo nabhabhoywa abhandi KU mukulu umwi wa abhasilikale abhe chirumi unu abhilikilwaga Julio, owe chise cha 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 Nichilinya mu meli okusoka Adramitamu, inu yaliga niyenda okulabha mu mbhalama ya injejekela ya Asia. Kwibhyo nichingila mu nyanja. Aristaka okusoka Thesalonike eya Makedonia nagenda amwi neswe.
Embarking in a ship of 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 Olunaku olwo lwalubhie nichilasa inanga mu musi gwa Sidoni, kenu Julio amukolee Paulo kwo bhwila no kumwikilisisha okuja ku bhasani bhae kwo kulamila obhwila bhwebhe.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Okusoka ao nichigenda nichilabha mu nyanja no kwiinda kwisinga lya Kipro linu ligukingilisishe omuyaga, kwa insonga omuyaga gwaliga niguchisoka imbele.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Chejile chikaja mu lugendo nichilabha mu maji ganu galiga gali ayei na Kilikia na Pamfilia, nichija mila, Omusi gwa Lisia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Alia omukulu ulya owa abhasilikale bhe chiloma, naisanga Imeli okusoka Alexandria eyo yaliga niyenda okugenda Italia. Nachinyisha munda yayo.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Chejile chikea nichigenda mulugendo malamala kwa naku nyafu kubhutelo nichikinga kwa jinyako ayei na kinidas, omuyaga gwa chiganyishe lindi okugendelela injila eyo, kutyo nichigenda mulugendo katoto ya lilengesi cha Krete nichigukilisha omuyanga, nichilolelela na 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 Nichija mulugendo nichibhalama kujejekela ya inyanja kwo bhukomee, Nio nichikinga Anu aliga natogwa Fari Haveni enyo ili ayei no musi gwa Lasi.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Chaliga chagegere mwanya mwafu muno, no mwanya gwe chisibho gwe chiyaudi gwliga gwatulile one, na oli yaliga ili nyako okugendelela mulugendo. Kwibhyo Paulo nachigonya,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 No kwaika, “Bhalume, enilola olugendo olwo echenda okulugega echitula okufyilwamo no bhuuta bhwafu, bhutalila bhe mijingo na imeli, nawe one no bhulame bhweswe.”
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 Mbe nawe omukulu wa bhasilikale bhe chiloma nibhamutegelesha muno esebhugenyi wae kanya meli, okusiga emisango jilya ejo jaikilwe na 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 songa echigobho chaliga chitakondele okwikala omwanya gwa imbeo, abhafugi bhafu nibhaika chigende chisokeo aliya, koleleki kwa njila yona yona chikatula okugukingila Omusi gwa Foinike, chiyanje eyo omwanya gwa imbeo. Foinike Ni chigobho eyo Krete, na eilola mubhuanga ebhutulika esubha na mumalimbe ge bhutuluka esubha.
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 southwest and northwest.
13 Omuyaga gwa malimbe gwejile gwamba okuyebha malamala, abhafugi nibheganilisha bhabhona chinu bhaliga bhakenele. Nibhakola inanga no kulabha kumbali ya Krete ayei na kunjejekela.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Mbe nawe mwanya mufui niguyemba omuyaga, mwafu ogwe chiule, gunu gwaliga nigubhilikilwa gwa ikomaji, nigwamba okuchibhuma nigusoka ku mbali ya lisinga.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Wejile imeli yatabhwa no kuigwa okulosha mu bhutwe, Mbe nichikilishanya nejo nichigenda nabho.
When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Nichilukila kwo kulabha kumbhali anu chaliga nichikinga omuyaga gwa lisinga linu lyatogwaga Kauda; na kulwa Jinyako muno nichisakilwa okubhukisha obhwato.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Wejile bhamala okuikulula, bhagegele jingoye ejokuibhoyela imeli. Bhobhaile ati bhasiga kuja kwi bhala lyo musenyi mwafu ogwa inoto, kwibho nibhesa inanga nibhasilwa kunjejekela.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 Chabhumilwe muno no muyaga gwe chiule, kwibho olunaku olwo lwalubhie abhafugisha nibhamba okwesa ebhinu bhinu bhaliga bhaikile mu meli.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Olunaku lwa kasatu, abhafugisha bha mu meli nibhamba okusabhula amaji kwa amabhoko gebhwe abhene.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Mu mwanya ogwo lisubha na jinyota bhitachisekanie kwa naku nyafu, no muyaga gwe chiule nigugendelela-la okuchibhuma, okwiikanya ati echija okukisibhwa nikuwao.
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 Wejile gwagendelela mwanya mulela obhutalya bhilyo, ao Paulo nemelegulu agati- gati ya abhafugisha bhalya naika, “Bhalume, sanga munyiile muntegeleshe, na chitakasokele krete, koleleki chitakabhwene mauta ganu no kufwilwamo kunu.
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 Wolyanu enibhasilisha musimbagilile emyoyo, kwa insonga atalio unu alabhusha bhulame mwime, atali okufwilwamo-ela imeli.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Kunsonga mungeta inu yatulile Malaika wa Nyamuanga, unu Ali Nyamuanga anye nili wae, na unu enimulamya one - Malaika wae emeleguyu kumbali yanye
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 no kwaika, “Wasiga kubhayana Paulo. Nibhusi-bhusi wimelegulu imbhele ya Kaisari, na Lola, Nyamuanga mu bhwekisi bhae akuyanile bhanu bhona bhanu oulibhata amwi nabho mulugendo.
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Kwibhyo, bhalume, mukomele, kunsonga enimwikilisha Nyamuanga, ati ejijokubha lwa kutyo nabhwilwa.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Mbe nawe Ni bhusi-bhusi muutasibhwe kwo kubhumwa mu bhisiga ebhindi.”
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Yejile yakinga ingeta ye kumi na kana, anu chaliga nichisilwa eyo neyo munyanja ya Adratik, kuti mugeta agati bhwile bukulu kutya, abhafugisha bha mu meli bhalya nibhelisha ati bhalebhelee ku chalo.
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 Nibhalenga obhulela ebhita bhya maji nibhabhona bhita ekumi na munana, okumala mwanya mufui nibhalenga lindi nibhabhona bhita munana na inusu.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Bhobhaile okwamba ati echitula okuyalila ku mabhui, kwibhyo nibhesha amasikyo gana okusoka mu mabhala go kutelako amasikyo na nibhasabhwa ati nibhuche bhwangu.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Abhafugisha bhalya bhaliga nibhaiga lwa kutyo bhalaisiga imeli ilya nibhesha ebhyato bhitoto-toto ebhyo kwelulilamo obhulame, na nibhekola uti abhenda kwisha amasikyo okusoka mu mabhala ga imbele yo bhwato.
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 Mbe nawe Paulo namubhwila omukulu ulya wa bhasilikale bhe chiloma na abhasilikale bhalya, “Mutakutula kukila atali abhanu bhanu bhalasigala ku meli.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Okumala abhasilikale bhalya nibhagenga jingoye jiliya ejo bhwato na ngasigwa koleleki gagegwe na maji.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Omwanya gwo bhwelu bhwa katondo gwjile gwamba okubhonekana, Paulo nabhelembeleja bhona nolwo ati bhalyeko kutoto. Naika, Lelo Ni lunaku lwe kumi na kana lunu mwaliga nimulindilila obhutalya, muchali kulya chinu.
While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Kwibhyo enibhelembeleja mugege ebhilyo bhitoto, kunsonga inu kubheile okulama kwemwe; na lutalio Nolwo lufwili lumwi ku mitwe jemwe lunu olutula okubhula.
Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
35 Ejile amala okwaika ago, nagega omukate namusima Nyamuanga imbhele ya meso ga bhuli munu. Okumala nagumonyolako omukate namba okulya.
When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Okumala bhona nibhasimbagilila emyoyo na bhene nibhagega ebhilyo.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Chaliga bhanu magana gabhili na makumi musanju na mukaga bhanu chaliga mu meli.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Bhejile bhamala okulya ebhyokubheya, nibhaikola imeli kubha nyangu kwokwesa intanda ya ingano mu nyanja.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Bhwejile bhwacha, bhatachimenyele echalo echo, nawe nibhalola libhala lye chalo linu lyaliga lili ekonda lingie mu maji linu lyaliga lyo musenyi mwafu. Nibhaikana ati alabha abhatula okuisila imeli awo.
When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40 Kwibhyo nibhagasulumula amasikyo nibhagasiga mu nyanja. Mu mwanya ogwo ogwo nibhatatilila jingoe eja litanga na nibhenamusha libhala elya imbhele okulolelesha mu muyaga, kwibhyo nibhagenda mwi bhala elyo musenyi mwafu.
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 Mbe nawe nibhaja mu lubhala lwa jingeji ebhili eja maji Anu ejibhonanila, imeli nija Kunsenyi. Na lilya libhala lya imbele elya imeli niyalila alya na itatulile kusokao, nawe libhala elya imbele ya imeli nilyamba okubhutuka kunsonga yo bhwafu bwa amakonjo.
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 Abhasilikale bhalya nibhalwaja lwa kutyo bhalabheta abhabhoywa, koleleki ati atalio unu akatulile okuuga no kwiluka.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Mbe nawe ulya omukulu wa abhasilikale bhe chiloma aliga nenda okumukisha Paulo, kwibhyo nabhaganya; No kubhalagilila bhalya bhanu abhatula okuuga, bhejunge okusoka mu meli okwamba na bhaje ku chalo.
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 Okumala abhalume abhandi abhabhalubha, abhandi ingulu ye ebhibhalala bhya jimbau na abhandi ingulu ye bhinu ebhindi okusoka mu meli. Ku njila inu nijibhonekana ati bhona echijokukinga ku chalo kwo bhwana bhwana.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
