Itendi 27
1 Bhai ikaamulishweje kuti tujende ku Italia na meli, a Pauli na bhaatabhwanga bhananji gubhabhishilwenje muulinda gwa a Juliashi bhaaliji bhakulungwa bha bhaakomana ngondo bha shikundi shishemwa “Shikundi sha a Kaishali Augushito.”
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 Gutukwelile meli ja ku Adilamito jaliji tayali kujabhula mwanja pitila mbwani ya shilambo sha ku Ashia, gututandwibhe mwanja. A Alishitako kopoka ku bhandunji bha ku Makedonia kukopoka ku Teshalonike paliji na uwe.
Embarking in a ship from 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 Pa malabhi gakwe gutuishe ku Shidoni na meli. A Juliashi gubhaatendele a Pauli mituka kwa kwaaleshelela bhajende kwa ashaambwiga ajabho bhakapegwe indu ibhapingaga.
The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Kujabhula penepo gutupite na mwanja, pabha mbungo jatendaga puga koposhela mmujo jetu, gutubhambalile mmbali ja ku Shilia.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Tukapiteje litanda likulu lya ku Kilikia na ku Pampilia, gutuishe ku Mila, shilambo sha Likia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Kweneko bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhajiimene meli jimo ja ku Alekishandilia jilipinga jabhula kwenda ku Italia, kwa nneyo gubhatukweshiye mwenemo.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Gutupite na mwanja gwetu mbolembole kwa mobha gamagwinji, kwa lajilila gutuishe tome na ku Nido. Pabha mbungo jatendaga kutuibhilila, gutupitile mmbali ja ku Kilete tome na ku Shalimone.
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 Gutupitile nnyenje jakwe kwa lajilila gutuishe mmbali jimo jishemwa “Bhandali ja Mmbone”, tome na shilambo sha Lashea.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Gakapiteje mobha gamagwinji, mpaka lyubha lya tabha gulipitile. Na mwanja gwa mmashi pugwaliji gwa jogoya. Bhai, a Pauli gubhaaleshiyenje bhalinkuti,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 “Mmashileunji, ngunakuubhona aguno mwanja guno, upingabha gwa atali na shonanga, nngabha kwa mishigo na melipe, ikabhe nkali na gumi gwetu.”
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 Ikabheje bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala gubhapilikanishiye kaje malobhe ga bhaalongoya meli na bhayene meli nileka pilikanishiya malobhe ga a Pauli.
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 Pabha jene bhandalijo jikatemiji pammbone pa tama mobha ga shipwepwe, bhandunji bhabhagwinji mmwanja mula gubhapinjilenje tujende na mwanja tukaishe ku Poenike monaga shiitendeshe, nitama kweneko mobha ga shipwepwe. Poenike ni bhandali ja ku Kilete jiloya kwibhanda kuliwila lyubha na kuntundu kuliwila lyubha.
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 northeast and southeast.
13 Bhai, mbungo jammbone ja kopoka nnyuma jetu jikupundaga kupuga, gubhaganishiyenje kuti gubhatumbililenje gala shigatendeshe, gubhashoshiyenje nanga, gubhapitengenenje na mbwani tome na mbwani ja ku Kilete.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Ikabheje pangakabhika, mbungo japunda ja mbuti shimbunga jishemwa “Mbungo ja kashikashi,” kukopoka ku Kilete shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
15 Mbungo jikukomaga mmeli na pabha jikakombweleje kutaukangana najo gutujileshile jinokolwe na mbungo jila.
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
16 Gutupitile shangu shilambo shimo shitimbililwe na mashi shishemwa Kauda gutwikombolele kukweya ntumbwi, ikabheje kwa lajilila.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Bhakakweyanjeje gubhajitabhilenje meli jila kwa pishiya nngoji pai jakwe. Bhatendaga jogopanga kutitimila munng'anji nnyenje bhaali kumbwani ja ku Shiliti. Kwa nneyo gubhatuluyenje indu yaigwinji na ligubho lya tejela mbungo nikujileka meli jinokolwe na mbungo.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 Shimbunga shikupundaga kupugakwa mashili na pa malabhi gakwe tukujailaga mmashi mishigo ja mmeli jila.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Lyubha lya tatu, gubhajailenje indu yaigwinji na ya kamulila maengo ya mmeli mula kwa makono gabhonji ashaayene.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
20 Kwa mobha gamagwinji twangalibhona lyubha wala ndondwa, shimbunga gushipundile kupuga, mpaka gutuwile ntima ga tapulwa.
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 Na bhakatamanjeje mobha gamagwinji gwangali kulya shalya, a Pauli gubhajimi pakati jabhonji, gubhashite, “Mmakulungwanji, kaliji nkambilikanishiyenje ninngajabhula ku Kilete kula. Tukanalaje nneino na tukanapate ashi shonangashi.
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 Ikabheje nnaino ngunakunnjuganga, nkolanje ntima, pabha jakwa nkali mundu jumo munkumbi gwenunji shawe, ikabhe melipe shijiangabhanishe.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Pabha shilo sha lelo malaika jwa a Nnungu, a Nnnungu bhandendile nne kubha najwabho na bhungwatindibhalila ashinkujima tome na nne,
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 gwamalanjile. ‘Pauli unajogope! Unapinjikwa ujime kwa a Kaishali na kabhili a Nnungu kwa uguja gwabho bhashikupa bhandunji bhowe bhalongenenje na ugwe jwakwapi shawe.’
saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25 Kwa nneyo mmashileunji nng'angalanje! Pabha ngunakwaakulupalila a Nungu kuti ibhamalanjile ila shiibhe nneyo peyo.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Ikabheje mbungo shijitunokole nnyenje shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi shino.”
But we must run aground on a certain island."
27 Shilo sha lyubha lya likumi limo na nsheshe jikapujeje mbungo, tulinokolelwa akuno na kukuno nnitanda likulu lya Adilia. Tome na pakati shilo bhatumishi bha mmeli mula gubhabhweninji mbuti tunabhandishila litaka.
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 Kwa nneyo gubhatolilenje nngoji nitabhila shindu shatopa, nilinga mashi mugapelile, nibhona kutaliya kwa makono makumi nsheshe. Bhakajendangananjeje kashoko gubhalinjilenje kabhili gubhapatilenje shindu sha makono makumi gatatu.
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Kwa jogopa kutitimila mmaganga gamakulungwa, gubhatuluyenje nanga nsheshe ya kunyuma ja meli, gubhajujilenje kushe shangu.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Bhatumishi bha mmeli mula gubhapinjilenje kutoloka, bhalituluyanga ntumbwi gwa kwitapulila mmashi, kwitembanga mbuti bhakwenda tuluyanga nanga ja mmujo.
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 Ikabheje a Pauli gubhaabhalanjile bhakulungwa bha manjola na ashimanjola bhabho, “Bhanganyanjibha bhakatamanje nkati meli nkatapulwanga.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
32 Bhai ashimanjola bhala gubhaikitenje migoji jatabhilwe muntumbwi jila, gubhauleshilenje utolwe na mashi.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Tome na kumashelo, a Pauli gubhaashondelesheyenje bhowenji bhalyanganje shalya, bhalinkuti, “Lelo lyubha lya likumi limo na nsheshe nninginji nkulolela gwangali kulya shoshowe.
While the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Bhai, ngunakunshondelesheyanga nnianganje shalya shishintapulanje. Pabha nkali luumbo lwa mu ntwe ukamundu jojowe lukaobha.”
Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
35 A Pauli bhakamaliyeje kubheleketa genego gubhatolile nkate, gubhatendile eja kwa a Nnungu bhowe bhalikwaabhonanga, gubhagabhile gubhatandwibhe kulya.
When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
36 Penepo gubhatagwilwenje ntima na bhowenji gubhalilenje shalya ashaayene.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Na mmeli mula putwaaliji tubhandu mmia pa bhili na makumi shabha na shita.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Bhakalyanganjeje nijukuta, gubhapunguyenje nshigo gwa meli kwa jaa ngano mmashi.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Kukasheje, bhatumishi bha mmeli mula bhangashimanyanga shilambo shila, ikabhe gubhalibhweninji litingo limo nnyenje bhaali, gubhabhalanjilenenje bhajimikanje meli kweneko, monaga shiikomboleshe.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40 Kwa nneyo gubhakutulenje nanga nikwiileka nnitanda likulu na kabhili gubhagopolenje migoji ja tabhila nkongo gwa longosheya meli, gubhatabhilenje ligubho lina lya tejela mbungo nkupinga meli jijende shammujo, gubhaloshiyenje kunyenje bhaali.
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 Ikabheje gubhaikengenenje pugaimana mabhutuka gabhili ga bhaali, meli gujititimile. Mmujo ja meli mukutitimilaga nnitaka gujitemi gwangali kutenganyika. Kunyuma meli kukutandubhaga kutemeka ipande ligongo lya komwa na mabhimbili.
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 Ashimanjola gubhapinjilenje kwaabhulaganga bhatabhwa bhowe, nkujogopa bhanajojelelanga mpaka kunyenje bhaali nitolokanga.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Ikabheje bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala bhashinkutumbilila kwaatapula a Pauli, gubhaalimbiyenje bhanatendanje gubhatumbilenje gala. Gubhatumile bhaakombolanga kujojelela, bhatandubhanje kutumbushila mmashi bhajojelelanje mpaka kulitaka,
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 bhananji bhakagulanje bhaikamulilanje mmbao eu mwipande ina ya meli. Shana nneyo tubhowe gutuishe kulitaka tubhabhakoto.
and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
