Matendo ga Mitume 27
1 Paiamuliwe panga tupalikwa tunasafiri kwa mase kuyenda Italia, watimkabidhi Paulo na afungwa benge kwa afisa yumo wa jeshi lya Kiroma ywakemelwa Julio, wa Kikosi cha Agustani.
And 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 Tukapanda meli boka Adrmitamu, ambayo ibile itisafiri kandokando ya pwani ya Asia. Nga nyo tujingii mubahari. Aristaka boka Thesalonike ya Makedonia kayenda pamope natwee.
And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Lisoba lya nyaibele tuikite katika mji wa Sidoni, ambapo Julio atimpangia kwa ukarimu na atibaruhusu kuyenda kwa rafiki zake kupokya ukarimu wabe.
And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.
4 Boka po twayenda mu'bahari tukasafiri kuzunguka kisiwa cha Kipto ambacho kibile kimeukinga mbepo, kwa mana mbepo ubile ukitukabili.
And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Baada ya kuwa tumesafiri katika mase yabile papipi na Kilikia na Pamfilia, twaisa Mira, mji wa Lisia.
And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
6 Palo yolo afisa wa jeshi lya Kiroma, akaikuta meli boka Alexandria ambayo ibile itisafiri kuelekea Italia. Akatupandisha ndani yake.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.
7 Baada ya kusafiri mbolembole kwa masoba ganyansima na hatimaye tuikite kwa taabu karibu na Kinidas, mbepo waruhusu kwaa kae kuelekea ndela yoo, nga nyoo tukasafiri kandokando ya kivuli cha Krete tukiukenga mbepo, mkabala na Salmone.
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Twatisafiri kandokando ya pwani kwa ugumu, mpaka tuikite mahali pakemelwa Fari Haveni ambayo ibile papipi na mji wa Lasi.
and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Tutweti muda mwingi muno, na muda wa mfungo wa Ayahudi ubile umepita pia, nambeambe ibile ni hatari kuyendelea kusafiri. Nga nyo Paulo atitukanikiya,
And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 no baya, “Alalome nibweni safari ambayo twapala kuitola ywalowa kuwa na madhara na hasara yanyansima, ni kwamizigo kichake kwaa na meli, lakini pia maisha yitu.”
and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Lakini afisa yumo wa jeshi la Kiroma atimpekaniya muno ngwana wake na mmiliki wa meli, kuliko makowe ambayo galongelwa na Paulo.
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 Kwa sababu bandari ibile kwaa sehemu rahisi tama kipindi sa mbepo, mabaharia banyansima batisauri tusafiri boka palo, ili kwa namna yoyote tukiweza kuika mji wa Foinike, tutame palo kipindi sa mbepo, Foinike ni bandari kolyo Krete, na itilinga kaskazini na kusini mashariki.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there]; [which is] a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
13 Mbepo ya kusini pautumbwile kuvuma mbolembole, mabaharia bapatike chelo ambacho babile bakihitaji. Bating'oa nanga na kusafiri kandokando ya Krete papipi na pwani.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14 Lakini baada ya muda mwipi mbepo nkali, waukemelwa wa kaskazini mashariki, utumbwile kutukombwa boka ng'ambo ya kisiwa.
But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
15 Muda meli yatilemewa na kushindwa kuikabili mbepo, twatikubaliana na hali yee, tukasafiri nao.
and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.
16 Tukabutuka pitya wolo upande ubile utiukenga mbepo wa kisiwa kikemelwa Kauda; na kwa taabu muno twatifanikiwa kuuokoa mtumbwi.
And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17 Baada ya kuwa tumeivuta, balitumia kamba kuifunga meli. Batiyogopa panga tungeweza kuyenda katika eneo lya mchanga wanyansima wa Syiti, nga nyo batiulua nanga na batiendeshwa kandokando.
and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18 Tukombwile kwa nguvu muno na dhoruba, nga nyo lisoba lyanyaibele mabaharia batumbwile kutupa miziogo boka mu'meli.
And as we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw [the freight] overboard;
19 Lisoba lya tatu, mabaharia batumbwile kuyatoa mase kwa maboko gabe bene.
and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Muda ambao liumu na ndondwa yatuangazia kwaa masoba ganyansima, bado dhoruba ngolo itukombwile, na matumaini panga twalowa lopolelwa yatiboka.
And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
21 Baada ya kuwa batiyenda muda mrefu bila chakulya, nga Paulo ayemi katikati ya mabaharia kabaya, “Alalome, mpalikwa kunipekaniya, na kana tuiboite nanga boka Krete, ili kupata madhara aga na hasara.
And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22 Nambeambe naafariji panga mube na mwoyo, kwa sababu pabile kwaa na upotevu wa maisha kati yinu, ila hasara ya meli.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.
23 Kwa mana kilo chakipitike malaika wa Nnongo, ambaye yolo Nnongo nenga ni wake, na ambaye namwabudia kae-malaika bake ayemi pembeni yango
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24 no baya, “Kana uyogope Paulo. Lazima uyemi nnongi ya Kaisari, linga, Nnongo katika wema wake akupeile aba bote ambao wasafiri pamope nawenga.
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Nga nyo, alalome, mujipe mwoyo, kwa sababu namwaminiya Nnongo, panga ipalika kati yaanibakiye.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.
26 Lakini lazima tuumie kwa kukombwa katika baadhi ya visiwa.”
Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 Pauikite kilo ya komi na ncheche, patubile tukiyendeshwa kolyo na kolyo mu'bahari ya Adratik, kati kilo ya manane nyoo, mabaharia batifikiri panga batikaribia nchi kavu.
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country;
28 Balitumia milio kupima kina cha mase na kupata mita thelathini na sita, baada ya muda mwipi bapema bapatike mita ishirini na saba.
and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms: and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Batiyogopa kwanza twaweza kugonga miamba, nha nyo bakaulua nanga ncheche boka katika sehemu ya kuwekea nanga no kuloba panga bwamba uise mapema.
And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Balo mabaharia batiipala namna ya kuitelekeza yelo meli na balizishusha majini boti njunu na kulopwa maisha, na bapangite kuwa wanatupa nanga boka sehemu ya nnongi ya boti.
And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,
31 Lakini Paulo kambakiya yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma na balo askari, “Muweza kwaa kuilopwa ila aba bandu babakia mu'meli.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Boka po balo askari bakatike kamba na yelo boti ilekitwe itolwe na mase.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Muda mwanga wa bwamba paubile utijitokeza, Paulo atibasihi bote angalau balyee kisunu. Kabaya, “Ayee nga lisoba lya komi na ncheche mwalenda bila kulyaa, mwalyaa kwaa kilebe.
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Nga nyo nawasihi mtole chakulya kisunu, kwa sababu yee ni kwaajili ya tama kwinu; na ntopo hata nywili yimo ya ntwe winu yalowa potea.
Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
35 Paayomwile baya nyoo, atitola mkate na kumshukuru Nnongo nnongi ya minyo ga kila mundu. Boka po kaetekwana mkate no tumbwa lyaa.
And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all: and he brake it, and began to eat.
36 Boka po bote batiwa mwoyo na bembe batola chakulya.
Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.
37 Tubile bandu 276 nkati ya meli.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Paayomwile lyaa pakayukwita, baipangite meli nyepesi kwa kutupa ngano nkati ya mase.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Paibile mutwekati, paibweni kwaa nchi kavu, lakini babweni sehemu ya nchi kavu yaijingya mumase yaibile na mchanga wanyansima. batilongela kati baweza kuiendesha meli kuelekea palo.
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
40 Nga nyoo batizilegeza nanga bazilekite mumase. Katika muda wowolo batizilegeza kamba za tanga na kuiinua sehemu ya nnongi kuelekea katika mbepo, nga nyo batielekea katika iyo sehemu yabile na mchanga wanyansima.
And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 Lakini baisile mahali ambapo mikondo ibele ya mase itikwembana, na meli ikaelekya mchangani. Na yelo sehemu ya nnongi ikakwama palo na iweza kwaa boka, lakini sehemu ya mbele uya meli itumbwile kutekwanika kwa sababu ya ukale wa mawimbi.
But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].
42 Mpango wa balo askari ubile ni kuwabulaga wafungwa, ili panga ntopo ywaweza ogelea na kutoroka.
And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.
43 Lakini yolo askari wa jeshi la Kiroma apala kumwokoa Paulo, nga nyo akausimamisha mpango wabe; na akaamuru balo ambao baweza kuogelea baruke boka melini kwanza bayende nchi kavu.
But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land:
44 Boka po alalome benge balowa kunkengama, benge nnani ya ipande ya mbao na benge nnani ya ilebe yenge boka mu'meli. Kwa ndela yee ipangike panga bote twalowa ika salama nchi kavu.
and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
