Imisebenzi 27
1 Kwathi sekuqunyiwe ukuthi siye eIthaliya ngomkhumbi, banikela uPawuli lezinye izibotshwa ezithile enduneni yekhulu, nguJuliyu ngebizo, eyesigaba senkosi enkulu.
Yejile yalamulwa ati kuchiile chigende mu lugendo lwa maji okuja Italia, nibhamuyana Paulo nabhabhoywa abhandi KU mukulu umwi wa abhasilikale abhe chirumi unu abhilikilwaga Julio, owe chise cha Agustani.
2 Sasesingena emkhunjini weAdramithiyu, obusuzakuya endaweni zangaseAsiya, saqala ukuhamba, uAristako umMakedoniya weThesalonika wayelathi.
Nichilinya mu meli okusoka Adramitamu, inu yaliga niyenda okulabha mu mbhalama ya injejekela ya Asia. Kwibhyo nichingila mu nyanja. Aristaka okusoka Thesalonike eya Makedonia nagenda amwi neswe.
3 Lakusisa safika eSidoni; uJuliyu wasemphatha kuhle uPawuli, wamvumela ukuthi aye kubangane ukuze asizwe.
Olunaku olwo lwalubhie nichilasa inanga mu musi gwa Sidoni, kenu Julio amukolee Paulo kwo bhwila no kumwikilisisha okuja ku bhasani bhae kwo kulamila obhwila bhwebhe.
4 Sasesisuka lapho ngomkhumbi sehla sagudla iKuprosi, ngoba imimoya yayiphambene lathi,
Okusoka ao nichigenda nichilabha mu nyanja no kwiinda kwisinga lya Kipro linu ligukingilisishe omuyaga, kwa insonga omuyaga gwaliga niguchisoka imbele.
5 kwathi sesidabule ulwandle olungaseKilikhiya lePamfiliya, safika eMira yeLikhiya.
Chejile chikaja mu lugendo nichilabha mu maji ganu galiga gali ayei na Kilikia na Pamfilia, nichija mila, Omusi gwa Lisia.
6 Lapho-ke induna yekhulu yathola umkhumbi weAleksandriya oya eIthaliya, yasikhweza kuwo.
Alia omukulu ulya owa abhasilikale bhe chiloma, naisanga Imeli okusoka Alexandria eyo yaliga niyenda okugenda Italia. Nachinyisha munda yayo.
7 Sasesihamba kancinyane okwensuku ezinengi, safika nzima maqondana leKinidu, umoya ungasivumeli, sehla sagudla iKrete maqondana leSalamone;
Chejile chikea nichigenda mulugendo malamala kwa naku nyafu kubhutelo nichikinga kwa jinyako ayei na kinidas, omuyaga gwa chiganyishe lindi okugendelela injila eyo, kutyo nichigenda mulugendo katoto ya lilengesi cha Krete nichigukilisha omuyanga, nichilolelela na salmone.
8 sasesiyigudla kanzima safika endaweni ethile ethiwa yiMathekwamahle; okwakuseduze layo umuzi iLaseya.
Nichija mulugendo nichibhalama kujejekela ya inyanja kwo bhukomee, Nio nichikinga Anu aliga natogwa Fari Haveni enyo ili ayei no musi gwa Lasi.
9 Kwathi sekudlule isikhathi esikhulu, njalo sekuyingozi ukuhamba ngomkhumbi, ngoba lezilo lokudla laseledlule, uPawuli wabeluleka
Chaliga chagegere mwanya mwafu muno, no mwanya gwe chisibho gwe chiyaudi gwliga gwatulile one, na oli yaliga ili nyako okugendelela mulugendo. Kwibhyo Paulo nachigonya,
10 esithi kubo: Madoda, ngiyabona ukuthi uhambo luzakuba lengozi lomonakalo omkhulu, kungeyisiwo owempahla lomkhumbi kuphela kodwa lowempilo zethu.
No kwaika, “Bhalume, enilola olugendo olwo echenda okulugega echitula okufyilwamo no bhuuta bhwafu, bhutalila bhe mijingo na imeli, nawe one no bhulame bhweswe.”
11 Kodwa induna yekhulu yakholwa induna yomkhumbi lomnikazi wawo kulezinto ezazitshiwo nguPawuli.
Mbe nawe omukulu wa bhasilikale bhe chiloma nibhamutegelesha muno esebhugenyi wae kanya meli, okusiga emisango jilya ejo jaikilwe na Paulo.
12 Kwathi njengoba itheku lalingalungelanga ukuhlalwa ebusika, inengi labo lacebisa ukuthi kusukwe lalapho, mhlawumbe kwenzeke ukuthi bafike eFenikisi bahlale khona ebusika, itheku leKrete elikhangele eningizimuntshonalanga lenyakathontshonalanga.
KU songa echigobho chaliga chitakondele okwikala omwanya gwa imbeo, abhafugi bhafu nibhaika chigende chisokeo aliya, koleleki kwa njila yona yona chikatula okugukingila Omusi gwa Foinike, chiyanje eyo omwanya gwa imbeo. Foinike Ni chigobho eyo Krete, na eilola mubhuanga ebhutulika esubha na mumalimbe ge bhutuluka esubha.
13 Njalo kuthe umoya weningizimu usuphephetha buthakathaka, banakana ukuthi sebekuzuzile lokho ababekuqondile, sebephakamise ingwegwe sagudla eKrete.
Omuyaga gwa malimbe gwejile gwamba okuyebha malamala, abhafugi nibheganilisha bhabhona chinu bhaliga bhakenele. Nibhakola inanga no kulabha kumbali ya Krete ayei na kunjejekela.
14 Kodwa kungabanga yisikhathi eside umoya oyisivunguzane, othiwa iYurakilidoni, wawutshaya;
Mbe nawe mwanya mufui niguyemba omuyaga, mwafu ogwe chiule, gunu gwaliga nigubhilikilwa gwa ikomaji, nigwamba okuchibhuma nigusoka ku mbali ya lisinga.
15 umkhumbi wasubanjwa, wehluleka ukukhangelana lomoya, sasesiwuyekela undenda.
Wejile imeli yatabhwa no kuigwa okulosha mu bhutwe, Mbe nichikilishanya nejo nichigenda nabho.
16 Sathi sesigudla phansi kwesihlengana esithile esithiwa yiKlawuda, senelisa kalukhuni ukuwubamba umkolo;
Nichilukila kwo kulabha kumbhali anu chaliga nichikinga omuyaga gwa lisinga linu lyatogwaga Kauda; na kulwa Jinyako muno nichisakilwa okubhukisha obhwato.
17 abathi sebewuphanyekile, basebenzisa izincediso, babopha ngamagoda azingelezela umkhumbi; basebesesaba ukuthi bazaphoseka eSirtisi, behlisa iseyili, ngokunjalo basebendenda.
Wejile bhamala okuikulula, bhagegele jingoye ejokuibhoyela imeli. Bhobhaile ati bhasiga kuja kwi bhala lyo musenyi mwafu ogwa inoto, kwibho nibhesa inanga nibhasilwa kunjejekela.
18 Kuthe ukuthi siphoswe kakhulu yisiphepho, ngolulandelayo baphosa impahla;
Chabhumilwe muno no muyaga gwe chiule, kwibho olunaku olwo lwalubhie abhafugisha nibhamba okwesa ebhinu bhinu bhaliga bhaikile mu meli.
19 kwathi ngolwesithathu salahla izikhali zomkhumbi ngezandla zethu uqobo.
Olunaku lwa kasatu, abhafugisha bha mu meli nibhamba okusabhula amaji kwa amabhoko gebhwe abhene.
20 Kwathi kungelalanga njalo kungelankanyezi ezibonakalayo insuku ezinengi, lesiphepho esingesincinyane siqinisa, kusukela lapho laseliphela ithemba lonke lokuthi sizasinda.
Mu mwanya ogwo lisubha na jinyota bhitachisekanie kwa naku nyafu, no muyaga gwe chiule nigugendelela-la okuchibhuma, okwiikanya ati echija okukisibhwa nikuwao.
21 Kwathi sekuyisikhathi eside bengasadli, uPawuli wasesukuma phakathi kwabo, wathi: Madoda, ngabe lalalela mina kalaze lasuka eKrete, njalo laphepha kulobubunzima lakulumonakalo.
Wejile gwagendelela mwanya mulela obhutalya bhilyo, ao Paulo nemelegulu agati- gati ya abhafugisha bhalya naika, “Bhalume, sanga munyiile muntegeleshe, na chitakasokele krete, koleleki chitakabhwene mauta ganu no kufwilwamo kunu.
22 Khathesi-ke sengileluleka ukuthi lime isibindi; ngoba kakusoze kulahleke impilo leyodwa kini, ngaphandle komkhumbi.
Wolyanu enibhasilisha musimbagilile emyoyo, kwa insonga atalio unu alabhusha bhulame mwime, atali okufwilwamo-ela imeli.
23 Ngoba ngalobubusuku bekumi kimi ingilosi kaNkulunkulu, engingowakhe, lengimkhonzayo,
Kunsonga mungeta inu yatulile Malaika wa Nyamuanga, unu Ali Nyamuanga anye nili wae, na unu enimulamya one - Malaika wae emeleguyu kumbali yanye
24 yathi: Ungesabi Pawuli; ngoba umele ukuma phambi kukaKesari; njalo khangela, uNkulunkulu ukuphile bonke labo abahamba ngomkhumbi lawe.
no kwaika, “Wasiga kubhayana Paulo. Nibhusi-bhusi wimelegulu imbhele ya Kaisari, na Lola, Nyamuanga mu bhwekisi bhae akuyanile bhanu bhona bhanu oulibhata amwi nabho mulugendo.
25 Ngakho manini isibindi madoda; ngoba ngiyakholwa kuNkulunkulu ukuthi kuzakuba njengalokho engikutsheliweyo.
Kwibhyo, bhalume, mukomele, kunsonga enimwikilisha Nyamuanga, ati ejijokubha lwa kutyo nabhwilwa.
26 Kodwa kumele sitshayeke esihlengeni esithile.
Mbe nawe Ni bhusi-bhusi muutasibhwe kwo kubhumwa mu bhisiga ebhindi.”
27 Kwathi sekufike ubusuku betshumi lane, sasindenda sizula olwandle lweAdriya, phakathi kobusuku, abomkhumbi bakhumbula ukuthi umhlabathi othile ususondela kubo;
Yejile yakinga ingeta ye kumi na kana, anu chaliga nichisilwa eyo neyo munyanja ya Adratik, kuti mugeta agati bhwile bukulu kutya, abhafugisha bha mu meli bhalya nibhelisha ati bhalebhelee ku chalo.
28 basebephosa intambo yokulinganisa bathola amafathome angamatshumi amabili; sebeqhubekile kancinyane baphosa intambo yokulinganisa futhi, bathola amafathome alitshumi lanhlanu;
Nibhalenga obhulela ebhita bhya maji nibhabhona bhita ekumi na munana, okumala mwanya mufui nibhalenga lindi nibhabhona bhita munana na inusu.
29 njalo sesaba ukuthi mhlawumbe singatshayeka emadwaleni, basebephosela ingwegwe ezine ngemva komkhumbi, bafisa ukuthi kuse.
Bhobhaile okwamba ati echitula okuyalila ku mabhui, kwibhyo nibhesha amasikyo gana okusoka mu mabhala go kutelako amasikyo na nibhasabhwa ati nibhuche bhwangu.
30 Abomkhumbi sebezama ukubaleka emkhunjini, basebesehlisela olwandle umkolo ngokungathi basebezakwehlisela ingwegwe ngaphambi komkhumbi,
Abhafugisha bhalya bhaliga nibhaiga lwa kutyo bhalaisiga imeli ilya nibhesha ebhyato bhitoto-toto ebhyo kwelulilamo obhulame, na nibhekola uti abhenda kwisha amasikyo okusoka mu mabhala ga imbele yo bhwato.
31 uPawuli wathi enduneni yekhulu lakwabebutho: Uba laba bengahlali emkhunjini, lingesindiswe lina.
Mbe nawe Paulo namubhwila omukulu ulya wa bhasilikale bhe chiloma na abhasilikale bhalya, “Mutakutula kukila atali abhanu bhanu bhalasigala ku meli.”
32 Abebutho basebequma amagoda omkolo, bawuyekela wawa.
Okumala abhasilikale bhalya nibhagenga jingoye jiliya ejo bhwato na ngasigwa koleleki gagegwe na maji.
33 Kwasekusithi sekuzakusa, uPawuli wabancenga bonke ukuthi bathathe ukudla, esithi: Lamuhla kulusuku lwetshumi lane lilindile lihlezi lingadli, lingathathi lutho.
Omwanya gwo bhwelu bhwa katondo gwjile gwamba okubhonekana, Paulo nabhelembeleja bhona nolwo ati bhalyeko kutoto. Naika, Lelo Ni lunaku lwe kumi na kana lunu mwaliga nimulindilila obhutalya, muchali kulya chinu.
34 Ngakho ngiyalincenga ukuthi lithathe ukudla; ngoba lokhu ngokosindiso lwenu; ngoba kakuyikuwa komunye unwele lwekhanda lenu.
Kwibhyo enibhelembeleja mugege ebhilyo bhitoto, kunsonga inu kubheile okulama kwemwe; na lutalio Nolwo lufwili lumwi ku mitwe jemwe lunu olutula okubhula.
35 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto, esethethe isinkwa, wabonga uNkulunkulu phambi kwabo bonke; wasihlephula waqala ukudla.
Ejile amala okwaika ago, nagega omukate namusima Nyamuanga imbhele ya meso ga bhuli munu. Okumala nagumonyolako omukate namba okulya.
36 Basebesima isibindi bonke njalo bona bathatha ukudla.
Okumala bhona nibhasimbagilila emyoyo na bhene nibhagega ebhilyo.
37 Njalo thina sonke esasisemkhunjini sasiyimiphefumulo engamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesithupha.
Chaliga bhanu magana gabhili na makumi musanju na mukaga bhanu chaliga mu meli.
38 Njalo sebesuthi ukudla baphungula umkhumbi, baphosela amabele olwandle.
Bhejile bhamala okulya ebhyokubheya, nibhaikola imeli kubha nyangu kwokwesa intanda ya ingano mu nyanja.
39 Kwathi sekusile, kabalazanga ilizwe; kodwa babona itheku elithile lilokhumbi, abamisa ukuthi baqhubele umkhumbi kulo, uba kungenzeka.
Bhwejile bhwacha, bhatachimenyele echalo echo, nawe nibhalola libhala lye chalo linu lyaliga lili ekonda lingie mu maji linu lyaliga lyo musenyi mwafu. Nibhaikana ati alabha abhatula okuisila imeli awo.
40 Basebequma ingwegwe baziyekela olwandle, ngesikhathi esifananayo bathukulula amagoda abophe amaphini okuqondisa, baphakamisela emoyeni iseyili yaphambili baqonda ekhunjini.
Kwibhyo nibhagasulumula amasikyo nibhagasiga mu nyanja. Mu mwanya ogwo ogwo nibhatatilila jingoe eja litanga na nibhenamusha libhala elya imbhele okulolelesha mu muyaga, kwibhyo nibhagenda mwi bhala elyo musenyi mwafu.
41 Basebefika bengananzelele endaweni lapho ulwandle olwaluhlangana khona bawuqhubela umkhumbi esihlabathini; njalo isihloko somkhumbi sagxumekeka sahlala singanyikinyeki, kodwa ingemuva yomkhumbi yephulwa ngamandla amagagasi.
Mbe nawe nibhaja mu lubhala lwa jingeji ebhili eja maji Anu ejibhonanila, imeli nija Kunsenyi. Na lilya libhala lya imbele elya imeli niyalila alya na itatulile kusokao, nawe libhala elya imbele ya imeli nilyamba okubhutuka kunsonga yo bhwafu bwa amakonjo.
42 Labebutho babeqonde ukubulala izibotshwa, hlezi ezinye zibaleke ngokuntshezela khatshana.
Abhasilikale bhalya nibhalwaja lwa kutyo bhalabheta abhabhoywa, koleleki ati atalio unu akatulile okuuga no kwiluka.
43 Kodwa induna yekhulu, ifisa ukusindisa uPawuli, yabavimbela kunjongo yabo, yasilaya ukuthi labo abakwaziyo ukuntsheza baziphosele olwandle kuqala, baye emhlabathini;
Mbe nawe ulya omukulu wa abhasilikale bhe chiloma aliga nenda okumukisha Paulo, kwibhyo nabhaganya; No kubhalagilila bhalya bhanu abhatula okuuga, bhejunge okusoka mu meli okwamba na bhaje ku chalo.
44 labaseleyo, abanye ngamapulanka, labanye ngezinye zezinto zomkhumbi. Ngokunjalo-ke kwenzeka ukuthi bonke bafike emhlabathini besindile.
Okumala abhalume abhandi abhabhalubha, abhandi ingulu ye ebhibhalala bhya jimbau na abhandi ingulu ye bhinu ebhindi okusoka mu meli. Ku njila inu nijibhonekana ati bhona echijokukinga ku chalo kwo bhwana bhwana.
