Фаптеле 27
1 Дупэ че с-а хотэрыт сэ плекэм ку корабия ын Италия, пе Павел ши пе алць кыцьва ынтемницаць й-ау дат пе мына унуй суташ ал четей де осташь Аугуста, нумит Юлиу.
When [the Governor and those who advised him] decided that it was time for us [(exc)] to get on a ship and go to Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners into the hands/care of an army captain whose name was Julius. [He was the one who would guard us on the journey]. Julius was [an officer] in charge of [a group of] 100 [soldiers that people called] ‘the Emperor Augustus Group’.
2 Не-ам суит ынтр-о корабие де ла Адрамит, каре авя сэ мяргэ пе коаста Асией, ши ам порнит. Авям ку ной пе Аристарх Мачедонянул дин Тесалоник.
So we got on a ship that had come from Adramyttium [city in Asia province. The ship] was going to [return there, stopping at] cities along the coast of Asia [province]. Aristarchus, [a fellow believer who was] from Thessalonica [city] in Macedonia [province], went with us.
3 А доуа зи, ам ажунс ла Сидон, ши Юлиу, каре се пурта оменос ку Павел, й-а дат вое сэ мяргэ пе ла приетений сэй ши сэ фие ынгрижит де ей.
The day after [the ship sailed], we arrived at Sidon [city]. Julius kindly told Paul that he could go and see his friends [who lived there], so that they could give him whatever he might need. [So Paul visited the believers there].
4 Дупэ че ам плекат де аколо, ам плутит пе лынгэ Чипру, пентру кэ вынтуриле ерау потривниче.
Then the ship left [Sidon], but the winds were blowing against us [(exc)], so [the ship] went along [the north] side of Cyprus [Island], the side that is sheltered [from the wind].
5 Дупэ че ам трекут маря каре скалдэ Чиличия ши Памфилия, ам ажунс ла Мира ын Личия.
After that, we crossed over the sea close to the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia [provinces. The ship] arrived at Myra [city, which is] in Lycia [province]. [We got off the ship there].
6 Аколо, суташул а гэсит о корабие дин Александрия, каре мерӂя ын Италия, ши не-а суит ын еа.
In Myra, [people told] Julius that a ship [was there that had come] from Alexandria [city] and would [soon] sail to Italy. So he arranged for us to get [on that ship], [and we left].
7 Тимп де май мулте зиле, ам мерс ынчет ку корабия ши ну фэрэ греутате ам атинс ынэлцимя Книд, унде ну не-а лэсат вынтул сэ не оприм. Ам трекут пе ла капэтул Кретей, алэтурь де Салмона.
We sailed slowly for several days and finally arrived close to the coast [of Asia province], near Cnidus [town. After that], the wind [was very strong and] did not allow the ship to move straight ahead [westward. So instead], we sailed [southward] along the side of Crete [Island that is] sheltered [from the wind], and we passed [near Cape] Salmone.
8 Де абя ам мерс ку корабия пе марӂиня инсулей ши ам ажунс ла ун лок нумит „Лиманурь буне”, де каре ера апроапе четатя Ласея.
[The wind was still strong, and it prevented the ship from moving ahead fast]. So we moved slowly along the coast [of Crete], and we arrived at a harbor that was called Fair Havens, near Lasea [town].
9 Трекусе дестул де мултэ време ши кэлэтория пе маре се фэчя примеждиоасэ, пентру кэ трекусе кяр ши „время постулуй”. Де ачея Павел а ынштиинцат пе чейлалць
Much time had passed, so it would have been dangerous if we [(exc)] had traveled [farther] by ship [because after that time of the year] [MTY] [the sea often became very stormy]. So Paul said to the men [on the ship],
10 ши ле-а зис: „Оаменилор, кэлэтория вэд кэ ну се ва фаче фэрэ примеждие ши фэрэ мултэ пагубэ, ну нумай пентру ынкэркэтурэ ши пентру корабие, дар кяр ши пентру вециле ноастре.”
“Men, I perceive that [if we(inc) travel by ship] now, it will be disastrous for us. A storm may destroy the ship and the cargo, and possibly we will drown.”
11 Суташул а аскултат май мулт де кырмачь ши де стэпынул корабией декыт де ворбеле луй Павел.
But the officer [did not listen to] what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the pilot [of the ship] and the owner of the ship advised.
12 Ши фииндкэ лиманул ну ера бун де ернат, чей май мулць ау фост де пэрере сэ плече ку корабия де аколо, ка сэ ынчерче сэ ажунгэ ла Феникс, лиман дин Крета, ашезат спре мязэзи-апус ши спре мязэноапте-апус, ка сэ ернезе аколо.
The harbor where the ship had stopped was not a good place to remain during the winter [when the weather frequently becomes stormy. So most of the people on the ship decided that we(exc) should leave there, because they hoped that we] could stay at Phoenix [port] during the winter, if we could possibly arrive there. That harbor was open to the sea in two directions, [but the strong winds did not blow there].
13 Ынчепусе сэ суфле ун вынт ушор де мязэзи ши, ка уний каре се кредяу стэпынь пе цинтэ, ау ридикат анкореле ши ау порнит ку корабия пе марӂиня Кретей.
Then a gentle wind began to blow [from the south], and the [crew members] thought that they could travel as they had decided [to do. So] they lifted [the anchor up out of the sea], and the ship sailed [westward] along the [southern] shore of Crete [Island].
14 Дар ну дупэ мултэ време, с-а дезлэнцуит асупра инсулей ун вынт фуртунос, нумит Еуракилон.
But after a while, a wind that was very strong blew across the island [from the north side and hit the ship. That wind was called] {[People] called that wind} “the Northeast Wind.”
15 Корабия а фост луатэ де ел, фэрэ сэ поатэ лупта ымпотрива вынтулуй, ши не-ам лэсат душь ын воя луй.
It blew strongly against the [front of] the ship. The result was that we could not keep going in the direction [in which we had been going]. So the sailors let the wind move the ship in the direction [that the wind] was blowing.
16 Ам трекут репеде пе ла партя де жос а унуй остров нумит Клауда ши абя ам путут сэ пунем мына пе лунтре.
The ship then passed a small island named Cauda. We passed along the side [of the island that] sheltered [the ship from the wind]. Then [while the ship was moving along], the sailors lifted the lifeboat up [out of the water] and tied it [on the deck. But the strong wind made it] difficult even to do that.
17 Дупэ че ау ридикат-о, ау ынтребуинцат мижлоаче де ажутор, ау ынчинс корабия ку фрынгий ши, де тямэ сэ ну кадэ песте Сирта, ау лэсат пынзеле ын жос. Астфел с-ау лэсат мынаць де вынт.
After the sailors [hoisted/lifted] the lifeboat onto the ship, they tied ropes around the ship’s hull to strengthen the ship. The sailors were afraid that, [because the wind was pushing the ship], it might run onto the sandbanks off the coast of Libya to the south [and get stuck there. So] they lowered the largest sail [so that the ship would move slower. Even so], the wind continued to move the ship along. [The wind and the waves] continued to toss the ship about roughly, so on the next day the sailors began to throw overboard the things that the ship was carrying.
18 Фииндкэ ерам бэтуць фоарте таре де фуртунэ, а доуа зи ау ынчепут сэ арунче ын маре ынкэркэтура дин корабие,
19 ши а трея зи, ной, ку мыниле ноастре, ам лепэдат унелтеле корабией.
On the third [day after the stormy wind had begun to blow], the sailors/we [MTY] threw overboard [most of] the sails, ropes, and poles, [in order to make the ship lighter].
20 Соареле ши стелеле ну с-ау вэзут май мулте зиле, ши фуртуна ера аша де путерникэ, ынкыт ла урмэ пердусем орьче нэдежде де скэпаре.
The wind continued to blow very strongly, [and the sky was full of dark clouds] day and night. We could not see the sun or the stars for many days, [so we could not determine where we were. And the wind] continued to blow violently. So we [(exc)] finally thought that we would drown in the sea.
21 Оамений ну мынкасерэ де мултэ време. Атунч, Павел с-а скулат ын мижлокул лор ши а зис: „Оаменилор, требуя сэ мэ аскултаць ши сэ ну фи порнит ку корабия дин Крета, ка сэ фи скэпат де ачастэ примеждие ши де ачастэ пагубэ.
None of us on the ship had eaten for many days. [Then one day], Paul stood up in front of us and said, “[Friends], you should have listened to me [when I said] that we [(inc)] should not sail from Crete. Then we would have been safe, and the ship and its cargo would be in good condition [LIT].
22 Акум, вэ сфэтуеск сэ фиць ку вое бунэ, пентру кэ ничунул дин вой ну ва пери ши ну ва фи алтэ пердере декыт а корабией.
But now, I urge you, do not be afraid, because none of us will die. [The storm] will destroy the ship but not us.
23 Ун ынӂер ал Думнезеулуй ал кэруя сунт еу ши кэруя Ый служеск ми с-а арэтат азь-ноапте
I [know this], because last night God, the one to whom I belong and whom I serve, [sent] an angel [who came and] stood by me.
24 ши мь-а зис: ‘Ну те теме, Павеле, ту требуе сэ стай ынаинтя Чезарулуй ши ятэ кэ Думнезеу ць-а дэруит пе тоць чей че мерг ку корабия ымпреунэ ку тине.’
The angel said to me, ‘Paul, do not be afraid! You [(sg)] must [go to Rome] and stand before the Emperor there [so that he can judge you]. I want you to know that God has made it clear to me that all those who are traveling by ship with you [will also survive].’
25 Де ачея, оаменилор, лиништици-вэ, кэч ам ынкредере ын Думнезеу кэ се ва ынтымпла аша кум ми с-а спус.
So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
26 Дар требуе сэ дэм песте ун остров.”
However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
27 Ын ноаптя а пайспрезечя, пе кынд ерам ымпиншь ынкоаче ши ынколо ку корабия пе Маря Адриатикэ, пе ла мезул нопций, маринарий ау бэнуит кэ се апропие де пэмынт.
On the fourteenth night [after the storm had begun, the ship] was still being blown {the wind was still blowing [the ship]} across the Adriatic sea. About midnight, the sailors sensed that the ship was getting close to land.
28 Ау мэсурат адынчимя апей ши ау гэсит доуэзечь де стынжень; ау мерс пуцин май департе, ау мэсурат-о дин ноу ши ау гэсит чинчспрезече стынжень.
So they lowered [a weight on a rope] to measure how deep [the water was]. When they pulled the rope up again, they measured it and saw that the water was (120 ft./37 meters) deep. They went a little farther and lowered the rope again. [That time], they saw that the water was [only] about (90 ft./28 meters) deep.
29 Де тямэ сэ ну се ловяскэ де стынчь, ау арункат патру анкоре ынспре кырма корабией ши доряу сэ се факэ зиуэ.
They were afraid that the [ship] might go onto some rocks, so they threw out four anchors from the [ship’s] stern/back and continued to wish/pray that it would soon be dawn [so that they could see where the ship was going].
30 Дар, деоарече корэбиерий кэутау сэ фугэ дин корабие ши слобозяу лунтря ын маре, суб кувынт кэ ар вря сэ арунче анкореле ынспре партя динаинте а корабией,
Some of the sailors were planning to escape from the ship, so they lowered the lifeboat into the sea. In order [that no one would know what they planned to do], they pretended [that] they wanted to lower some anchors from the [ship’s] front/bow.
31 Павел а зис суташулуй ши осташилор: „Дакэ оамений ачештя ну вор рэмыне ын корабие, ну путець фи скэпаць.”
But Paul said to the army officer and soldiers, “If the sailors do not stay in the ship, you have no hope of being saved.”
32 Атунч, осташий ау тэят фунииле лунтрий ши ау лэсат-о сэ кадэ.
So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
33 Ынаинте де зиуэ, Павел а ругат пе тоць сэ мэнынче ши а зис: „Астэзь сунт пайспрезече зиле де кынд стаць мереу де веге ши н-аць луат нимик де мынкаре ын гурэ.
Just before dawn, Paul urged everyone [on the ship] to eat some food. He said, “For the past 14 days you have been waiting and watching and not eating anything.
34 Де ачея, вэ рог сэ мынкаць, кэч лукрул ачеста есте пентру скэпаря воастрэ ши ну ви се ва перде ничун пэр дин кап.”
So, [now] I urge you to eat some food. We [(inc)] need to do that in order to stay alive. I [tell you to do that because I know that] none of you will drown [IDM].”
35 Дупэ че а спус ачесте ворбе, а луат пыне, а мулцумит луй Думнезеу ынаинтя тутурор, а фрынт-о ши а ынчепут сэ мэнынче.
After Paul had said that, while everyone was watching, he took some bread and thanked God [for it. Then he broke the bread and began to eat some of it].
36 Тоць с-ау ымбэрбэтат атунч ши ау луат ши ей де ау мынкат.
The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
37 Ын корабие ерам де тоць доуэ суте шаптезечь ши шасе де суфлете.
Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
38 Дупэ че с-ау сэтурат, ау ушурат корабия, арункынд грыул ын маре.
When everyone had eaten as much as they wanted, they threw the grain [that the ship was carrying] into the sea, and this made the ship lighter.
39 Кынд с-а фэкут зиуэ, н-ау куноскут пэмынтул, дар ау вэзут де департе ун голф, каре авя малурь нисипоасе, ши ау хотэрыт сэ ымпингэ корабия ынтр-аколо, дакэ ва фи ку путинцэ.
At dawn, [we(exc) could see] land, [but the sailors] did not recognize [the place]. However, they could see that there was a bay and [a wide area of] sand at the water’s edge. They planned that, if it was possible, they would steer the ship onto [the beach].
40 Ау тэят анкореле, ка сэ ле слобозяскэ ын маре, ши ау слэбит ын ачелашь тимп фунииле кырмелор, апой ау ридикат вентрила чя микэ дупэ суфларя вынтулуй ши с-ау ындрептат спре мал.
[So some of the sailors] cut the anchor [ropes and] let the anchors fall into the sea. At the same time, [other sailors] untied the [ropes that] fastened the rudders, [so that they could steer the ship again]. Then [the sailors] raised the sail at the front/bow of the ship so that the wind [would blow the ship forward], and the ship headed towards the shore.
41 Дар ау дат песте о лимбэ де пэмынт, унде с-а ынфипт корабия, ши партя динаинте а корабией с-а ымплынтат ши стэтя неклинтитэ, пе кынд партя динапой а ынчепут сэ се рупэ де избитура валурилор.
But the ship hit a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck there and could not move, and big waves beat against the back of the ship and it began to break apart.
42 Осташий ау фост де пэрере сэ омоаре пе чей ынтемницаць, ка сэ ну скапе вреунул прин ынот.
The soldiers said [to one another, “Let’s] kill [all] the prisoners [on the ship], so that they will not [be able to] swim [away and] escape.” [They planned to do that because they were sure] that officials [would order them to be executed if they let the prisoners escape].
43 Суташул ынсэ, каре воя сэ скапе пе Павел, й-а оприт де ла гындул ачеста. А порунчит ка чей че пот ынота сэ се арунче де пе корабие ын апэ ши сэ ясэ чей динтый ла пэмынт,
But [Julius], the army captain, wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from doing what they planned to do. Instead, he [commanded] first that everyone who could swim should jump into the water and swim to land.
44 яр чейлалць сэ се ашезе уний пе скындурь, яр алций пе фрынтурь де корабие, ши аша с-а фэкут кэ ау ажунс тоць теферь ла ускат.
[Then he told] the others [to hold] onto planks or pieces from the ship [and go towards shore. We(exc) did what he said, and] in that way all of us arrived safely on land.
