1 Italy taka rukuonga se rangin kin masat lehan, Paul le intângna ina om senkhatngei hah “Rom râlmi pâl” ulien Julius kuta an bang ngeia.
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 Adramyttium renga rukuonga kin sea Asia ramhuol sûnga rukuong inngamna mâk rangin ânthoka male Aristarkus Macedonia rama Thessalonika khuo mi kin kôm a oma.
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 Anangtûka chu Sidon kin tunga. Julius han Paul hah lungkham a mua, male a malngei vântongpui rangin phalna a pêka a nângngei an lei pêk theina rangin.
The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Ma renga han kin se nôka, male phâivuon anôk tieng mi hong sêm sikin Cyprus tuihuola kâirêng omna tieng kin se zoia.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Cilicia rama tuikhanglien kin rakâna male Pamphylia le Lycia rama Myra kin hong zoi.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Mahan râlmi ulien han rukuong inkhat Alexandria renga hong Italy rama se rang a mua, masikin mahan mi min chuong zoi.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Nikhuo tamtak thâmin jâm jâmin kin sea male intak takin Cnidus khopuia kin tunga, phâivuo han ma tieng han mi min se thei maka, masikin kâirêng omna Crete tuihuol tieng asukin kin sea, Cape Salmone kin tung zoi.
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 Tuipâng kin vanâia male intak takin Rukuong Inngamna Hoi, an ti hah kin hong tunga, Lasea khopui renga hah labâk mak.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Mahan nikhuo tamtak kin min hek zoi sikin rukuong dêna se nôk rang hah chi a oma, Ratanna Nikhuo alei vun zoia, Masikin Paul'n hima rilna hih a pêk ngeia.
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 “Miriem ngei, atûn renga ei mântieng hi chu asân chi aom ti ku mua, sietna le inmangna lientak rukuong le a neinunngei chunga le ei ringna khom ânmang thei.”
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 Aniatachu râlmi ulienpu han Paul chong jôm nêkin rukuonga ulienpu le rukuong pumangei chong a mindon ngei uola.
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 Rukuong inngamna hah phalbia omna rangin asaloi sikin mi tam uolin an omna renga sea, Phoenix an tung theia anin chu la tunga ma muna han phalbi la min hek rangin a min sûka. Phoenix chu Cret tuihuola rukuong inngamna inkhat thang-mâr le sak-mâr maiinthak ani.
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 Thang phâivuo jâmin ahong lechu an mintuo tak ha an tho thei rangin an bôka, thîrrûi ha a kaisuoa Crete tuipâng tienga han nâi theidôra nâiin an jâpa.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Aniatachu chomolte ani lechu phâivuo râttak “Sak-sim” an ti ngâi hah tuihuol renga ajuong sêma.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
15 Rukuong hah ajuong tokthapa, phâivuo mâithakin kin se thei khâiloi tena chu pût khâi makme phâivuon rukuong ha asemna titieng mi chôia.
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
16 Cauda tuihuol saktieng kin khêl lechu kâirêng chînte kin mana. Mahan, intak takin, rukuong sûnga rukuong chînte hah kin kêlsuo theia.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 An kêlsuo nûkin insanna rûi lehan rukuong nuoitieng an thunga an khitbela. Libya tuipânga sietsâia mi nôngpai atih, ti an chi sikin puonjâr hah an min nuoia, male phâivuon ajôtna titieng amin sêma.
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 Phâivuo hah ala rât tit sikin anangtûka chu neinun hah senkhat an vôr paia,
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 male hatûknôka chu rukuonga mangruo neinunngei ha an vôrpai nôka.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
20 Nikhuo tamtak nisa, ârsingei khom inlang khâiloiin phâivuopui râtin ahong sêm tit sikin amongnataka chu ring rang khomin in sabei khâi makmea.
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 Masuole bunêk loia zora sôttak an om nûkin, Paul'n an motona ândinga male, “Miriemngei, ko chong hah nin rangâia Cret tuihuol renga ei juong khâiloi nirese chu hi sietna le inmangna hi tong loi rang ei nia.
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 Aniatachu atûn hin nangni ke ngên ratha inngamtakin om roi! tute nin ringna machân uol no tunui, rukuong hi vai kêng machânin aom rang.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Ata ki nia, a sin ki sin bang ngâipu Pathien vântîrton inkhat jânin han ko kôm a juonga.
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 ‘Paul, chi no roh! Caesar makunga lânding ngêt ni tih. Male Pathien asatna sikin rukuonga na champuingei ringna khom hôi pe ngei atih.’
saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25 Masikin miriem ngei rathângamtakin om roi! Pathien ka sabei sikin mi juong ril angin nîng atih.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Aniatachu kho tuihuol pânga makhata mi chôi atih.”
But we must run aground on a certain island."
27 Mediterranean tuipuia jân sômleiminli phâivuopuiin mi chôi suo nûkin, jânchimripa rukuongpungei hah tânga suok thei rangin an mindona.
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 Masikin anni ngei han tui minkhina le an minkhia metres 40 ânthûka; chomolte suole chu ma angdên han an thoa metres 30 an man nôka.
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Kho lungkâra makhat mi juong nông nih ti an chi sikin rukuong remei tieng thîrrûi minli dôr an juong mathâka khuovâr rang ngâklalin chubai an tho.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Hanchu rukuongpu ngei han, rukuong renga rotpai rang an pûta; rukuong chînte hah tuia an mathâka, rukuong moton tienga han thîrrûingei mathâk inlêmin an thoa.
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 Aniatachu, Paul'n râlmi ulienpu kôm le râlmingei kôm, “Rukuongpungei hah rukuong chunga an om nônchu nin ring rangin sabeina om mak,” a tia.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
32 Masikin, râlmingei han rukuong chînte rûi hah an âtsata, an min se zoi.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Khuo ahong vâr vângin, Paul'n, bunêk rangin a ngên ngeia: “Aviensûn ten hin sûn sômleiminli nin ngâkna ani zoia, male madôr zora sôt hi khoite sâkloi nêkloia nin om ani zoi.
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 Bunêk rangin nangni ke ngên, nin ring theina rangin. Nin lua samsang inkhat luo inmang no nih” a tia.
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 Mahi a ti suole, Paul'n vâipôl senkhat a lâka anrênga makunga han Pathien kôm râisânchong a rila, a khoia an sâk phut zoi.
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 Anni ngei khom han an ratha ânngama an rêngin bu an nêk zoi.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Rukuonga miriem hah kin rêngin 276 kin ni.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Mitinin an khop dôr an nêk suole chu rukuong hah ajâng theina rangin bungei hah tuikhangliena an vôrpai zoi.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Khuo ahong vârin chu, rukuongpungei han kho mun mini rietthei mak ngeia, aniatachu, tui inkilna mun inkhat sietsâibil an mua, anithei nisenla chu ma mun han rukuong hah tâng makhâi ngêt rang an pûta.
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 Masika han thîrrûingei hah an âtsata, male tuikhangliena han an minngima, an jâpna thîrrûingei khom madên han an sûta, mântieng puon an mazara phâivuon ajôtna titieng atuong thei rang lam takin an min sânga sietsâibil an va muna tieng han an pan zoia.
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 Aniatachu tuisou inik inchunna taka kin lûta rukuong lu han tâng ava sika rukuong lu hah singinsa thei khâiloiin ân-ôk tita, rukuong remei tieng hah tuidârinsokin ahong suka akoi zoi.
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 Intângna ina intâng ngei hah tui inlieiin lei rot ni ngei ti sika han râlmingei han anrêngin that let rang an mintuoa.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Aniatachu, râlmi ulienpu han Paul hah mojôk rang a nuoma masikin hima anga an tho hah a khap ngeia, manêkin tui inliei thei ngei kai chu tui inlieia tâng lei kâi rangin;
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 adangngei khom thingpêk chunga aninônchu rukuong hârngei lehan tâng lei kâi rangin chong a pêk ngeia. Ma anghan kin rêngin damtakin tâng kin kâi zoi ani.
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.
