Orekma 27
1 Ke wotla tari mu kut ac kalla nu Italy, elos eisalang Paul ac kutu pac mwet kapir nu sel Julius, sie captain lun un mwet mweun lun Rome ma pangpang “U in Mweun lal Tokosra Fulat.”
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 Kut sroang nu fin oak soko ma tuku Adramyttium me, ma akola in oayak nu ke siti ma oan weacn in Asia, na kut oacla. Aristarchus, sie mwet Macedonia su tuku Thessalonica me, el wi kut.
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 Ke len tok ah kut oai Sidon. Captain Julius el tuh kulang nu sel Paul, ac lela elan som sun mwet kawuk lal uh, elos in ku in kasrel sang ma el enenu.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Kut kalot liki acn we, ac ke kut iwe eng uh, kut ut layen ma mihs ke tuka Cyprus.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Ke kut kal alukela meoa se sisken Cilicia ac Pamphylia, kut sun acn Myra in Lycia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Na Captain Julius el konauk oak soko we ma tuku Alexandria me, su akola in oayak nu Italy, na el sap kut sroang nu fac.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Ke sripen arulana upa eng uh, kut kakasrisrikna kal ke lusen len ekasr, oru kut pahtlac in oai ke sie acn apkuran nu Cnidus. Ke sripen kut iwauk eng uh oru kut tia ku in kal suwosot, na kut putati ut ten ke layen ma mihs ke tuka Crete, sasla sisken Foko 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 Ke sripen arulana upa kal sac, kut pihn pe acn uh nwe ke na kut sun acn se pangpang “Molsron Wowo,” apkuran nu ke siti Lasea.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Kut muta we ke pacl na loes se, sun pacl na sensen in kalkal, oayapa in pacl sac alukela tari Len in Eela Ma Koluk. Ouinge Paul el sensenkakunulos ac fahk,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 “Nu suwos kewa, nga akilen lah kal se lasr ingela ac arulana mwe fosrnga yohk. Koanon oak uh oayapa oak uh ku in musalla, ac ku pac in oasr mwet misa.”
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 Tusruktu Captain Julius el tuh porongo kas lun mwet se us oak uh ac mwet se oka oak uh, liki kas lal Paul.
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 Molsron sac sufal in muta we ke pacl in mihsrisr, oru inkaiyen mwet uh ke elos in oayak nu meoa, ac srike in sun Molsron Phoenix fin ku, elos in tuh muta we ke pacl in mihsrisr uh. Molsron Phoenix oasr ke tuka Crete, su oan tulanya roto eir ac roto epang.
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 Eng na fisrasr se tuhtuh layen nu eir me, ac mwet uh nunku mu elos ac ku in orala ma elos akoo uh, ouinge elos olak kawuk uh, ac oayak ut na sisken acn Crete.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Tusruk tia paht na eng na upa se — eng se ma pangpang “Kuta Epang” tuhme fin tuka uh me.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Eng sac sun oak uh, ac ke upa kut in kisrung eng uh, kut tila srike in lain, a kut fuhlela eng uh in pahtkakin na oak uh.
When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Mihs kutu ke kut kal nu eir in tuka srisrik Cauda. Ke kut sun mihs sac, finne upa nu sesr kut tuh ku in kapriya reoa fin oak uh.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Elos amakunak reoa uh nu fin oak ah, ac sang sucl lulap awiya oak lulap soko ah. Elos sensen mu elos ac ku in loangyak fin puk se sisken acn Libya, ouinge elos amakinya nes uh, ac fuhlela oak uh in pahtkakinyuk ke eng uh.
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 Paka sac srakna tuhtuh, ouinge in len se tok ah elos mutawauk in sisla kutu koanon oak uh nu in kof ah,
As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 ac ke len toko ah, elos sisla pac kutu kufwen orekma ke oak uh nu in kof ah.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Ke len na pus kut tiana ku in liye faht oayapa itu uh, ac paka uh upalana. Na wanginla finsrak lasr mu kut ac moul.
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 Tukun mwet uh tiana mongo pacl na loeloes se, Paul el tuyak inmasrlolos ac fahk, “Mwet kawuk, kowos funu lohng ma nga fahk ah, ac tia oayak liki acn Crete, lukun tiana oasr ma musalla ku tuhlac.
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 Tusruktu, inge nga kwafe nu suwos in akkeye kowos! Wangin siena suwos ac fah tuhlac moul la, a oak uh mukena ac fah musalla.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life amongst you, but only of the ship.
23 Tuh sie lipufan lun God su nga alu nu se ac nga ma lal, tuku nu yuruk fong
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 ac fahk, ‘Paul, nikmet sangeng! Kom ac fah nununkeyuk ye mutun Tokosra Fulat. Ac ke kulang lun God nu sum, El molela moul lun mwet nukewa ma wi kom ke kal se inge.’
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Ke ma inge kowos akkeye kowos! Tuh nga lulalfongi in God mu ma nukewa ac fah sikyak oana ke fwackme nu sik ah.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Tusruktu, kut ac mau ipipyak likin sie tuka.”
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Ke fong aksingoul akosr ah, eng uh pahtkakin oak uh in Meoa Mediterranean. Ke infulwen fong sac, selu uh lumauk mu kut apkuranna nu pe acn uh.
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 Ouinge elos koela ah soko, kapriya ma toasr se nu kac, ac elos konauk tuh na fit siofok longoul loaliyen acn sac; na tok kutu elos sifilpa oru tuh na fit eungoul na.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Elos sensen mu oak uh ac ipipyak fin eot uh, oru elos koela kawuk akosr ke kapin oak uh, ac salka in tari lenelik.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Selu uh srike in kaingla liki oak uh. Elos koela reoa ah nu in kof uh, ac oru mu elos ac sisla pac kutu kawuk ke mutun oak uh.
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 A Paul el fahk nu sel Captain Julius ac mwet mweun lal uh, “Selu uh fin tia mutana fin oak uh, kowos ac tia ku in moulla.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Ouinge mwet mweun uh supukla sucl ma kapri reoa soko ah, ac fuhlela in pahtlah.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Ke tufahna kalmelik len uh, Paul el kwafe nu selos nukewa in mongoi. El fahk, “Len singoul akosr lac nu misenge kowos soenna kang kutena ma.
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 Inge nga kwafe kowos in mongoi. Kowos enenu na in mongoi kowos in kui. Tia soko aunsifowos ac fah tuhlac.”
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 Tukun Paul el fahk ma inge, el eis kutu bread, sang kulo kac nu sin God ye mutalos nukewa, ac kunsalik ac mutawauk in mongo.
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 Ma inge akkeye nunak lalos, na elos nukewa eis pac kutu mongo uh ac mongoi.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Pisen mwet fin oak uh, luofoko itngoul onkosr.
In all, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Tukun mwet nukewa mongo tari, elos mutawauk in akmulalaye oak uh, ac sisla nufon wheat uh nu in kof uh.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Ke lenelik selu fin oak uh tia akilen pe acn uh, tuh elos liye inalok se oasr likinpot we, ac elos wotela selos mu fin ac ku elos ac orauk oak uh in mwesia we.
When it was day, they didn’t recognise the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40 Ouinge elos wotela kawuk uh ac tilmakinya nu in kof uh. In pacl sac pacna, elos tulala sucl ma sang kapriya sukan ikwik uh. Na elos amakunak nes se ke mutun oak ah, eng uh in mau usak oak uh nu finmes ah.
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 Tusruktu oak uh sun fin puk se ye kof uh ac mwesia kac. Mutun oak uh fulfuli tia ku in mukuikui, ac kapin oak uh fokfoki ipsrisrikla ke noa lulap uh.
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 Mwet mweun uh nunkauk in uniya mwet kapir uh nufon, elos in mau tia kofyak nu pe acn uh ac kaingla.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Tusruktu captain lun mwet mweun uh kena molella Paul, na el kutongya pwapa lalos ac sap mwet nukewa ma ku in kofkof in atula meet nu inkof uh ac kofyak nu pe acn uh;
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 towards the land;
44 ac mwet ma tia ku in kofkof in sruokya ipinsak ku polosak ma musalla ke oak uh, ac kofkofkin. Na pa inge ma kut oru pwanang kut ku in sun finmes ah.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
