Misala ya Bantoma 27
1 Tango bazwaki mokano ya kozwa masuwa mpo na kokende na Itali, bapesaki Polo elongo na ndambo ya bakangami na maboko ya Juliusi oyo azalaki mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko ya Rome, kati na mampinga ya mokonzi monene.
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
2 Tomataki na masuwa oyo ewutaki na engumba Adramite mpo na kokende na mabongo ya pembeni-pembeni ya mokili ya Azia, mpe tokendeki; Arisitarke, moto ya Masedwane ya Tesalonika, azalaki na biso elongo.
And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Mokolo oyo elandaki, tosemaki na engumba Sidoni. Lokola Juliusi atalisaki bolingo monene epai ya Polo, apesaki ye nzela ya kokende kotala balingami na ye mpo ete akoka kozwa masungi epai na bango.
And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 Sima na biso kolongwa wana, tozongelaki mobembo na biso mpe tozalaki konana pembeni-pembeni ya esanga ya Shipre, mpo na kokima mipepe oyo ezalaki kobeta biso makasi mpe kopekisa biso kokende liboso.
And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Sima na biso kokatisa ebale monene oyo eleka pembeni-pembeni ya Silisi mpe ya Pafili, tosemaki na Mira, kati na mokili ya Lisi.
And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Kuna, mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko amonaki masuwa moko ya engumba Alekizandri, oyo ezalaki kokende na Itali, mpe akotisaki biso kati na yango.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 Masuwa yango ezalaki kotambola malembe penza; boye tosalaki mikolo mwa mingi ya mobembo, mpe tokomaki na Sinide na pasi penza. Lokola mpe mopepe ezalaki kopekisa biso kokende liboso, tolekaki Salimoni mpe tokendeki na ngambo ya sude ya esanga ya Kreti.
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Tozalaki konana pembeni-pembeni ya esanga yango na pasi penza kino tokomaki na esika oyo babengaka « Mabongo kitoko, » pene ya engumba Laseya.
And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Lokola tolekisaki bongo tango mingi mpe masuwa ekomaki kotambola na matata, pamba te ezalaki sima na eleko ya kokila bilei, Polo akebisaki bango:
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 — Baninga, nazali komona lokola likama moko ya monene kosalema na mobembo na biso, mpe ekobebisa makasi masuwa elongo na biloko, kasi biso mpe tokoki kokufa.
And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 Kasi mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko alandaki toli ya kapitene ya masuwa mpe ya nkolo masuwa, na esika ete ayoka maloba ya Polo.
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 Lokola mpe libongo ezalaki esika ya malamu te mpo na kolekisa tango ya malili makasi, mingi kati na bato bazwaki mokano ete tolongwa wana mpe toluka kokoma na Fenikisi oyo ezali libongo ya Kreti, oyo etala na ngambo ya sude-weste mpe ya nor-weste, mpo na kolekisa kuna tango yango ya malili makasi.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
13 Wana mwa mopepe moko ya sude ekomaki kopepa, bakanisaki ete posa na bango ezali kokokisama; boye batombolaki longo, mpe masuwa ekomaki kotambola pembeni-pembeni ya esanga ya Kreti.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 Kasi sima na mwa tango, mopepe moko ya makasi penza, mopepe oyo babengaka « erakiloni, » ekomaki kopepa wuta na esanga;
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 ememaki masuwa, mpe masuwa elongaki te nguya ya mopepe. Boye tomitikaki bongo na mopepe, mpe ememaki biso.
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 Lokola tolekaki na lombangu, na pembeni-pembeni ya esanga moke oyo babengaka Koda, tolongaki na pasi kokanga mwa bwato oyo ebikisaka bato na tango ya likama.
And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 Sima na komatisa yango na masuwa, bazwaki basinga mpe bakangisaki yango. Lokola bazalaki kobanga kotutana na zelo ya ngambo ya Silite, babwakaki longo ya libaya likolo ya mayi, mpe mopepe ekobaki komema masuwa.
Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18 Mokolo oyo elandaki, lokola mopepe ezalaki kaka koningisa masuwa makasi, babwakaki na ebale, biloko oyo ezalaki kati na masuwa.
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 Na mokolo ya misato, na maboko na bango moko, babwakaki na ebale, biloko oyo etambolisaka masuwa.
And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Lokola tosalaki mikolo ebele na kozanga komona lisusu moyi mpe minzoto te, mpe mopepe ezalaki kaka kobeta makasi, tobungisaki elikya ya kobika.
And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21 Sima na bato kosala mikolo ebele oyo baliaki lisusu te, Polo atelemaki liboso na bango mpe alobaki: — Baninga na ngai, bosengelaki koyoka toli na ngai ete tolongwa na Kreti te. Soki boyokelaki ngai, likama oyo elingaki kokomela bino te mpe bolingaki te kobungisa biloko na bino.
But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 Kasi sik’oyo, nazali kolendisa bino ete boyika mpiko, pamba te moko te kati na bino akokufa, kaka masuwa nde ekobeba.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
23 Na butu ya lelo, Anjelu na Nzambe na ngai, oyo nasalelaka, ayaki epai na ngai
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 mpe alobaki: « Polo, kobanga te. Osengeli kosamba liboso ya Sezare. Mpo na yo, Nzambe abateli na bomoi bato nyonso oyo ozali kosala elongo na bango mobembo kati na masuwa. »
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Baninga na ngai, boyika mpiko, pamba te nazali na kondima kati na Nzambe ete akosala ndenge kaka ayebisaki ngai.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 Kasi atako bongo, tosengeli kokangama kaka na esanga moko.
Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 Na butu ya zomi na minei, masuwa ezalaki kaka komemama epai na epai kati na ebale monene Adriatiki. Na kati-kati ya butu, basali ya masuwa bakanisaki ete tokomi pene ya mokili;
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 babwakaki singa mpo na komeka mozindo ya mayi mpe bamonaki ete mozindo ya mayi ezali na bametele pene tuku misato na sambo. Wana bapusanaki mwa liboso, bamekaki lisusu mpe bamonaki ete mozindo ya mayi ezali na bametele pene tuku mibale na mwambe.
And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 Lokola bazalaki kobanga ete masuwa etutana na mabanga, babwakaki balongo minei na mayi wuta na sima ya masuwa, na posa makasi ya komona tongo kotana.
Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Kasi, lokola basali ya masuwa balingaki kokima, babandaki kokitisa kati na ebale monene mwa bwato oyo ebikisaka bato na tango ya likama, mpe basalaki lokola nde balingi kokende kokangisa balongo na liboso ya masuwa.
And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 Polo alobaki na mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko mpe na basoda: — Tala, soki bato oyo batikali te kati na masuwa, bino mpe bokobika te.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Boye, basoda bakataki basinga oyo esimbaki mwa bwato yango mpe batikaki yango kokweya na mayi.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Wana bazalaki kozela tongo kotana, Polo alendisaki bato nyonso ete balia; alobaki: — Ekokisi lelo mikolo zomi na minei wuta bozali kozela, mpe bolie ata eloko moko te.
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Nasengi na bino ete bolia sik’oyo. Bosengeli na yango mpo ete bozala na bomoi. Moko te kati na bino akobungisa ata suki moko ya moto na ye.
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 Sima na ye koloba bongo, akamataki lipa mpe azongisaki matondi epai na Nzambe liboso na bango nyonso; bongo akataki yango mpe abandaki kolia.
And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Bango nyonso balendisamaki mpe bakomaki kolia.
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 Kati na masuwa, tozalaki bato nkama mibale na tuku sambo na motoba.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Sima na bango kolia mpe kotonda mingi, babwakaki ble na ebale mpo na kokitisa kilo ya masuwa.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 Tango tongo etanaki, bamonaki mokili te, kasi bamonaki kaka libongo moko ya zelo na suka, epai ebale ekota. Boye bazwaki mokano, soki bakolonga, ya kosemisa masuwa kuna.
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 Babwakaki balongo na ebale; mpe kaka na tango yango, bafungolaki basinga ya yenda, batombolaki bakapo mpo ete mopepe emema masuwa na ngambo ya libongo ya zelo.
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 Kasi masuwa ekendeki kotutana na zelo ya ebale mpe ekangamaki. Wana eteni ya liboso ya masuwa ekangamaki na zelo mpe ezalaki lisusu koningana te, eteni ya sima ya masuwa epanzanaki na nguya ya bambonge.
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 Basoda bazwaki likanisi ya koboma bakangami mpo bazalaki kobanga ete bakatisa mayi mpe bakima.
And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 Kasi lokola mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko azalaki na posa ya kobikisa Polo, apekisaki bango kokokisa likanisi na bango. Boye, atindaki bato oyo bayebaki kokata mayi ete bazala bato ya liboso ya kokweya na mayi mpe bakende na mokili.
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
44 Bamosusu basengeli kolanda bango na kodiembela na mabaya to na biteni ya masuwa. Ezali ndenge wana nde bato nyonso bakomaki malamu na mokili.
And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
