Matendo ya Mitume 27
1 Bho jhiamulibhu kujha twilondeka kusafiri kwa masi kulota Italia, bhan'kabidhi Paulo ni bhafungwa bhangi kwa afisa mmonga bhwa jeshi la Kiroma jhaakutibhweghe Julio, ghwa kikosi kya Agustani.
And 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 Twakweli meli kuhoma Adramitamu, ambajho jhajhele isafiriajhi mundemandema jha pwani jha Asia. Hivyo tukajhingila baharini. Aristaka kuhoma Thesolanike jha Makedonia akalota pamonga ni tete.
And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Ligono lyalakesisi tukasopa nanga mu mji bhwa Sidoni, ambapo Julio ambombili Paulo kwa ukarimu ni kunduhusu kulota kwa bharafiki zake kupokela ukarimu bhwa nene.
And the next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends, and receive their care.
4 Kuhoma api tokalota mu bahari twasafiri kusyongoka kisiwa kya Kipro ambakyo kya k'engibhu ni m'pongo, kwa ndabha m'pongo utusumbuleghe.
And thence putting to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Baada jha kusafiri mmasi kalibu ni Kilikia ni Pamfilia, tukahida Mira, mji bhwa Lisia.
And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Pala jhola afisa ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma, ajhikolili meli kuhoma Alexandria ambajho jhilondeghe kusafiri kulota Italia. Akatukwesya mugati.
And there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria about to sail for Italy, put us on board of it.
7 Baada jha kusafiri molimoli kwa magono mingi ni hatimaye twfikili kwa tabu karibu ni Kinidas, m'pongo ghwa turuhusuili lepi kabhele kulota njela ejhu hivyo twasafiri mundemandema jha kivuli kya Krete khoni twikikenga mp'ongo, mkabala ni Salmone.
And sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Twasafiri mundemandem jha pwani kwa ukakatafu, mpaka tukafika mahali papakutibhu Fari Haveni ambajho ijhele karibu ni mji bhwa Lasi.
and coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.
9 Twatolili muda umelele muni, ni muda bhwa mfungo ghwa Kiyahudi ghwajhele umalikupea kabhele, na henu jhajhele ni hatari kujhendelela kusafiri. Hivyo Paulo akatuonya,
And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,
10 ni kujobha, “Bhagosi, nibhona safari jha twilonda kulota ejhe ni madhara ni hasara simehele, siyo tu jha misighu ni meli, lakini ni jha maisha gha jhotu.”
saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Lakini afisa ghwa jeshi la Kiroma akampelekesya zaidi bwana ghwa muene ni mmiliki ghwa meli, kuliko mambo ghala ghaghalongelibhu ni Paulo.
But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.
12 Kwandabha bandari jhajhelepi sehemu rahisi kutama wakati bhwa mepu, mabaharia bhingi bhashauriri tusafiriajhi kuhoma pala, ili kwa namna jhejhioha tubhwesiajhi kubhufikila mji bhwa Foinike, tutamayi pala bhwakati bhwa mepu. Foinike ndo bandari okhu Krete, na jhilola kaskazini mashariki ni kusini mashariki.
And as the harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.
13 Mp'ongo ghwa kusini bho bhujhendili kubhuma molimoli, mabaharia bhakafikirira kujha bhamalili kukabha kya bhakilondeghe. Bhakajhonja nanga ni kusafiri mundemandema jha Krete karibu ni pwani.
And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete.
14 Lakini baada jha muda mfupi mp'ongo n'kali, bhwabhukutibhweghe bhwa kaskazini mashariki, ukajhanda kututobha kuhoma kwiselya jha kisiwa.
But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 Wakati meli ijhelemibhu ni kushindwa kubhukali mp'ongo, tukajhedekelana ni hali ejhu, tukasafirisibhwa nabhu.
And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.
16 Tukajhumba kup'etela lubhafu lwa luukingighe mp'ongo bhwa kisiwa kyakikutibhweghe Kauda; ni kwa taabu sana twafanikibhu kuokola bhwatu.
And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;
17 Baada jha kujha bhabhufutili, bhatumili ngojhi kuuk'onga meli. Bhatileghe kujha ngatubhwesi kulota ku lieneo lya n'sanga ghumehele lya Syiti, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga na bhagendesibhu mundemandema.
which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.
18 Twatobhibhu kwa nghofu sana ni linyegha, hivyo ligono lyalyifwatili mabaharia bhakajhanda kusopa misighu kuhoma mu meli.
And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;
19 Ligono lya tatu, mabaharia bhakayanda kup'omba masi kwa mabhoko gha bhene.
and the third day we cast out with our own hands the movables of the ship.
20 Wakati ambapo lijobh ni litondo syatumuliki lepi kwa magono mingi, bado linyegha libhaha lyatutobhili, ni matumaini kujha tubetakuokolibhwa ghabhokili.
And as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was taken away.
21 Baada jha kujha bhalotili muda mrefu bila kyakulya, apu Paulo akajhema pagati pa mabaharia akajobha, “Bhagosi, mlondekeghe mnip'elekesiajhi, ngatubhokilepi kuhoma Krete, ili kukabha agha madhara ni hasara.
And after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.
22 Na henu nikabhafariji mkipelayi muoyo, kwa ndabha kubetalepi kujha ni upotefu bhwa maisha kati jha muenga, isipokujha hasara jha meli tu.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Kwa ndabha kiru kya kilotili malaika ghwa K'yara, ambajhe K'yara ojhu nene ne ghwa muene, ni ambajhe nikamwabudi kabhele - malaika ghwa muene ajhemili palubhafu pa nene
For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 ni kujobha, “Usitili Paulo. Lazima ujhemayi palongolo Kaisari, na langayi, K'yara ku bhunofu bhwa muene akupelili abha bhoha ambabho bhisafiri pamonga ni bhebhe.
saying, Fear not, Paul! Thou must stand before Caesar; and lo, God hath given thee all those that sail with thee.
25 Efyo, bhagosi, mukipelayi muoyo, kwandabha nikan'kier K'yara, kujha ibetakujha kama kyanibhajobhili.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be just as it hath been told me.
26 Lakini lazima tulamatayi kwa kutobhibhwa mu baadhi jha fisibhwa.”
But we must be cast upon some island.
27 Bho ufikili kiru kya kumi na nne, bho twigendesibhwa okhu ni okhu mu bahari jha Adratik, kama kiru kya manane naha, mabaharia bhafikirileghe kujha bhikaribila kundema.
And when the fourteenth night had come on, as we were driven onward in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were near some country;
28 Bhatumili milio kup'ema kina kya masi nabhakabhaka mita thelathini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na saba.
and sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little further and sounded again, they found fifteen fathoms;
29 Bhatilili kujha bhibhwesya kugonga miamba, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga sinchenche kuhomela sehemu jha lukhela jhihidayi manyata.
then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for day.
30 Bhala mabaharia bhakajha bhilonda bhaselisi maboti mu masi madebemadebe gha kuokolela maisha, na bhakajha bhikifuanya bhisopa nanga pa sehemu jha palongolo jha liboti.
And as the sailors were seeking means to escape from the ship, when they had lowered the boat into the sea, under the pretence that they were about to carry out anchors from the foreship,
31 Lakini Paulo akan'jobhela jhola askari ghwa jeshi la Kiroma ni bhala askari, “Mwibhwesya lepi kuokoka isipokujha bhanu abha bhibakila mu meli”.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, If these men do not stay in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Kisha askari bhala bhakadumula mighojhi jha liboti ni kujhileka jhitolibhwayi ni masi.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Wakati mwanga ghwa lukhela ghwihoma, Paulo akabhasihi bhoha angalau bhala bhadebe. Akajobha, “Ejhe ligono lya kumi na nne mwilendela bila kulya mlilepi khenu.
And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take food; saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye have waited, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Hivyo nikabhasihi mtolayi kyakulya kidebe, kwandabha ejhe kwandabha jha kuishi kwa muenga; na lujhelepi hata lujhusili lumonga pamitu ghya jhomu lwalibetakujhagha.
Wherefore I exhort you to take food; for this is for your safety; for there shall not a hair be lost from the head of one of you.
35 Abhoamali kujobha aghu, akalota n'kate akan'shukuru K'yara palongolo jha mihu gha khila munu. Kisha akaumetula n'kate akajhanda kulya.
And having thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and having broken it, he began to eat.
36 Kisha bhoha bhakapelibhwa muoyo na bhene bhakalota kyakulya.
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.
37 Twajhele bhanu 276 mugati mu meli.
And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Bho bhalili fya kutosha, bhaibhombi meli mbepe kwa kutagha ngano mu masi.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain into the sea.
39 Bhojhifikiri pamusi, bhajhitambuili lepi kundema, lakini bhakabhona sehemu jha kundema jhajhingili mmasi jhajhijhele ni n'sanga mwingi. bhakajadiliana kama bhibhwesya kugendesya meli kulota apu.
And when it was day, they did not know the land; but they observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run the ship.
40 Hivyo bhakesihobhosya nanga bhakasileka mmasi. Katika muda bhobhuobhu bhakasihobhosya mighojhi jha nanga ni kujhijhinula sehemu jha palongolo kulotela ku mp'ongo, hivyo bhakalota sehemu jha nsanga bhumehele.
And cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea, and at the same time unfastening the rudder-bands, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made toward the beach.
41 Lakini bhakahida mahali ambapo miela mibhele ghya masi ghibhonana, ni meli jhikalota kun'sanga. Ni jhela sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhakwamili pala na jhabhwesilepi kubhoka, lakini sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhikajhanda kudumuka kwa ndabha jha ukali ghwa manyegha.
And falling into a place having the sea on both sides, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was breaking to pieces with the violence [[of the waves]].
42 Mpango ghwa bhala askari bhwajhele kubhakoma bhafungwa, ili kwamba ajhelepi ambajhe ngaasoghili ni kutoroka.
And on the part of the soldiers there was a plan to kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape.
43 Lakini jhola askari ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma alondeghe kumwokola Paulo, hivyo akabhujhemeka mpango bhwa bhene; ni kubhaamuru bhala ambabho bhibhwesya kusogha, bharukayi kuhoma mu meli hoti na bhalotayi kundema.
But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and ordered those who could swim to cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land,
44 Kisha bhagosi bhamana bhakakesya, bhangi panani pa fenu fenge kuhoma mu meli. Kwa njela ejhe jhatokili bhoha twibeta kufika kinofu kundema.
and the rest, some on boards, and others on something from the ship. And in this way it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
