Asan'ny Apostoly 27
1 Ary rehefa voadidy hiondrana an-tsambo hiala hankany Italia izahay, Paoly sy ny mpifatotra sasany dia natolotra tamin’ ny kapiteny atao hoe Jolio, tamin’ ny antokon’ i Aogosto.
Now, when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul, and certain other prisoners, unto a centurion by name Julius, of an Augustan band.
2 Ary rehefa nirotsaka an-tsambo avy any Adramytena izay efa handeha hitety ny sisin-tanin’ i Asia izahay, dia lasa nandeha; ary niaraka taminay Aristarko Makedoniana avy any Tesalonika.
And, going on board a ship of Adramittium, about to sail unto the places along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, there being with us, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica;
3 Ary nony ampitso dia tonga tany Sidona izahay. Ary tsara ny nitondran’ i Jolio an’ i Paoly, fa navelany hankany amin’ ny sakaizany izay hiahy azy izy.
and, on the next day, we put into Zidon, —and Julius, treating Paul, kindly, gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself;
4 Ary nony niala teo izahay, dia nanara-morona an’ i Kyprosy nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra, satria nanohitra ny rivotra.
and, from thence putting out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary;
5 Ary rehefa namaky ny ranomasina tany Kilikia sy Pamfilia izahay, dia tonga tany Myra any Lykia.
and, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Ary tao no nahitan’ ny kapiteny sambon’ Aleksandria hankany Italia, dia nasainy niondrana teo aminy izahay.
And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
7 Ary rehefa nandeha niadana andro maromaro izahay ka saiky tsy tonga tandrifin’ i Kinido, satria nisakana anay ny rivotra, dia takon-drivotra tandrifin’ i Salmona izahay;
And, for a good many days sailing slowly, and getting with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us to get on, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8 ary nony sahirana nanara-morona izahay, dia tonga teo amin’ ny tany anankiray atao hoe Tsara-fitodian-tsambo; akaikin’ izany ny tanàna Lasea.
and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
9 Ary rehefa lany ny andro maro, sady sarotra ny fandehanan-tsambo tamin’ izany, satria efa afaka ny Andro Fifadiana, dia nananatra azy Paoly
And, when a considerable time had passed, and sailing was already dangerous, because, even the Fast, had already gone by, Paul began to advise,
10 ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, hitako fa izao fandehanana izao dia hisy fahasimbana sy fatiantoka be ihany, ka tsy amin’ ny entana sy ny sambo ihany, fa ny aintsika koa aza.
saying to them—Sirs! I perceive that, with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship, but even of our persons, shall the voyage certainly be attended.
11 Kanefa ny kapiteny nino ny mpitondra sy ny tompon-tsambo, fa tsy ny teny nolazain’ i Paoly.
But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
12 Ary satria ny fitodian-tsambo teo dia tsy tsara hitoerana amin’ ny ririnina, dia nataon’ ny maro fa tsara raha miala, fandrao mba ho tonga any Foiniksa ahay handany ny ririnina any; fitodian-tsambo any Kreta izany ka manatrika mianatsimo-andrefana sy mianavaratra-andrefana.
And, the harbour being, incommodious, to winter in, the more part, advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they might be able to reach Phoenix, to winter, [which was] a harbour of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
13 Ary raha nitsoka malemy ny rivotra avy any atsimo, ka nataony fa efa nahazo izay niriny izy, dia niala teo izy ka nandalo akaikikaikin’ i Kreta.
And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
14 Ary tsy ela rehefa afaka izany, dia nifofofofo nidina avy teo ny tafio-drivotra mahery atao hoe Eorakylona.
But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo, —
15 Ary raha nopaohin’ ny rivotra ny sambo ka tsy nahatoha azy, dia navelanay haveziveziny izy.
and, the ship being caught and we not being able to bring her head to the wind, we let her go, and were borne along.
16 Ary raha nandeha faingana nanara-morona ny nosy atao hoe Kaoda nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra izahay, dia saiky tsy nahazo ny salopy;
And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, —
17 ary rehefa nakarina izany, dia novahorany manodidina ny sambo; ary natahotra izy, fandrao hihatra any amin’ ilay fasika mandrevo, dia nampidina ny lay, ka navelany handeha ho azy ny sambo.
which, hoisting up, they began to use, helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest, on the sand-bank of Africa, they should run aground, lowering the gear, so, were they borne along.
18 Ary raha nasian’ ny rivotra mafy izahay, dia nanariany ny entana nony ampitso;
But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
19 ary nony ampitso’ io indray dia narian’ ny tànany ihany ny fanaka teo amin’ ny sambo;
and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
20 fa rehefa tsy hita ny masoandro na ny kintana hatramin’ ny andro maro, ary tsy kely ny rivotra izay namely, dia tsy nanantena ho voavonjy intsony izahay.
And, neither, sun nor stars, appearing for many days, and, no small tempest, lying upon us, in the end, all hope that we should be saved, began to be taken from us.
21 Ary rehefa tsy nihinan-kanina ela izy ireo, Paoly dia nitsangana teo afovoany ka nanao hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, tsara raha ho nihaino ahy ianareo ka tsy niala tany Kreta, mba tsy ho nahitana izao fahasimbana sy fatiantoka izao.
But, when they had been, long without food, then, Paul, standing in the midst of them, said—Ye ought, indeed, Sir! yielding to me, not to have sailed away from Crete, to get this damage and loss. …
22 Ary ankehitriny mananatra anareo aho mba hatoky; fa tsy hisy ho faty ianareo, fa ny sambo ihany no ho very.
And, now, I recommend you to be of good courage; for, loss of life, shall there be, none at all, from among you, —only the ship.
23 Fa nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra, Izay Tompoko sady tompoiko, nitsangana teo anilako halina
For there stood by me this night, belonging unto the God whose I am, unto whom also I am doing divine service, a messenger,
24 ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra, ry Paoly; fa tsy maintsy hitsangana eo anatrehan’ i Kaisara ianao; ary, indro, efa nomen’ Andriamanitra anao ny olona rehetra izay miaraka aminao.
saying—Be not afraid, Paul! for, before Caesar, must thou needs stand. And lo! God hath granted to thee as a favour, all them who are sailing with thee.
25 Koa matokia, ry tompokolahy ô, fa mino an’ Andriamanitra aho fa ho tonga araka ny voalazany tamiko izany.
Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
26 Nefa tsy maintsy fefika ihany eo amin’ ny nosy anankiray isika.
Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
27 Ary tamin’ ny alina fahefatra ambin’ ny folo, raha navezimbezina tany Adria izahay, nony namatonalina dia nataon’ ny matilo fa efa manakaiky tany izy;
And, when, the fourteenth night, had come, and we were being driven to and fro in the Adriatic, about midnight, the sailors suspected that some country was, nearing, them;
28 dia nanaka-drano izy ka hitany fa faharoa-polo refy; ary nony nandrosoroso kokoa izy, dia nanaka-drano indray ka hitany fa fahadimy ambin’ ny folo refy.
and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
29 Dia natahotra izahay, fandrao hidona amin’ ny harambato, ka dia nandatsaka vatofantsika efatra teo am-bodisambo ary naniry ny andro ho maraina.
And, fearing lest haply, on rocky places, we should be wrecked, out of stern, cast they four anchors, —and began praying that day might dawn.
30 Fa raha nitady handositra hiala tamin’ ny sambo ny matilo ka efa nampidina ny salopy teo amin’ ny ranomasina izy, nody handatsaka vatofantsika eo an-doha-sambo,
But, when, the sailors, were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though out of the prow they had been about to reach anchors,
31 dia hoy Paoly tamin’ ny kapiteny sy ny miaramila: Raha tsy mitoetra eto an-tsambo ireo, dia tsy azo vonjena ianareo.
Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!
32 Dia notapahin’ ny miaramila ny mahazaka rehetra tamin’ ny salopy, ka navelany ho latsaka.
Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Ary raha mbola tsy nazava ny andro, dia niangavy tamin’ ny olona rehetra Paoly mba hihinan-kanina ka nanao hoe: Anio no fahefatra ambin’ ny folo andro niandrasanareo, sady nahari-noana ianareo ka tsy nihinana.
And, until day was about to dawn, Paul continued to beseech one and all to take some food, saying—This day is, the fourteenth day, that, suspense, fasting, ye are completing, —having helped yourselves, to nothing.
34 Koa mananatra anareo aho hihinan-kanina, fa izany no isan’ ny hamonjena anareo; ary tsy hisy ho very aminareo rehetra na dia singam-bolo iray akory aza.
Wherefore, I beseech you to take some food, —for, this, lays a foundation for your safety; for, of no one of you, shall a hair of the head perish.
35 Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy sady nandray mofo, dia nisaotra an’ Andriamanitra teo anatrehan’ ny olona rehetra; ary rehefa novakiny, dia nihinana izy.
And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
36 Dia nahazo toky izy rehetra ka nihinana koa.
And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
37 Ary izahay rehetra teo anaty sambo dia olona enina amby fito-polo amby roan-jato.
Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
38 Ary rehefa voky izy, dia nanariany ho any anaty ranomasina ny hanina mba hanamaivana ny sambo.
And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
39 Ary rehefa nazava ny andro, dia tsy nahalala ny tany izy, fa nahita helodrano anankiray tsara morona, ka teo no nokasainy hampidonana ny sambo, raha azony atao.
And, when day came, they could not recognise, the land; but perceived, a certain bay, having a beach, —upon which they were minded, if they could, safely to bring the ship.
40 Ary rehefa nesoriny avokoa ny vatofantsika, dia navelany ho any an-dranomasina, ary novahany koa ny kofehin’ ny familian-tsambo dia namelatra ny lay anoloana izy ho azon’ ny rivotra ka nanatona ny tany.
And, casting off the anchors, they let them go into the sea, —at the same time, loosening the lashings of the rudders, and, hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 Ary raha tonga tamin’ izay nisy fihaonan-dranomasina izy, dia navelany hidona tamin’ ny tany ny sambo; ary ny loha-sambo nihizina ka nitoetra tsy nihetsika, fa ny vodi-sambo kosa dia vakivaky azon’ ny herin’ ny onja.
But, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and, the foreship sticking fast, remained immoveable, while, the stern, began to break up, from the violence [of the waves].
42 Ary ny miaramila nanao tetika hamono ny mpifatotra, fandrao hisy hilomano ireo ka ho afaka.
Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;
43 Fa ny kapiteny ta-hamonjy an’ i Paoly, dia nisakana azy tsy hanao izay nokasainy; fa izay nahay nilomano no nasainy hirotsaka aloha ka hilomano ho any amin’ ny tany,
but, the centurion, being minded to bring Paul safely through, hindered them of their purpose, and ordered such as were able to swim, to cast themselves overboard and, get first to the land, —
44 ary ny sisa dia samy hanao izay hahafaka azy, na amin’ ny hazo fisaka, na amin’ ny zavatra avy amin’ ny sambo. Dia tonga soa aman-tsara teny an-tanety avokoa izy rehetra.
and, the rest, some, on planks, and, some, on other things from the ship, …and, so, it came to pass, that, all, were brought safely through, on to the land.
