1 Wɔsii gyinaeɛ wieeɛ sɛ yɛnkɔ Italia no, wɔde Paulo ne nneduafoɔ bi hyɛɛ Yulio a ɔyɛ Roma asraafoɔ panin no nsa.
Sekumisiwe ukuthi sizakuya e-Ithali, uPhawuli kanye lezinye izibotshwa banikelwa ezandleni zomphathi wekhulu owayethiwa nguJuliyasi owaye ngoweButho leSikhosini.
2 Yɛkɔtenaa ɛhyɛn bi a ɛrekɔ Asia fam no mu wɔ Adramitio. Na Makedoniani Aristarko a ɔfiri Tesalonika no ka yɛn ho.
Sagada umkhumbi e-Adramithiya owawusulungele ukuya emathekwini asemakhunjini esifunda sase-Ezhiya, sahle salungena ulwandle. Sasilo-Aristakhasi, owayesuka eThesalonika.
3 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, yɛkɔduruu Sidon. Yulio yɛɛ Paulo adɔeɛ maa ɔkɔsraa ne nnamfo maa wɔmaa no nneɛma a ɛho hia no no.
Kusisa sakhuphukela eSidoni; uJuliyasi watshengisa umusa kuPhawuli, wamvumela ukuthi aye kubangane bakhe bamenzele lokho ayengabe ekuswela.
4 Esiane sɛ yɛtuu wɔ hɔ no na mframa bɔ hyia yɛn no enti, yɛka kɔɔ Kipro nifa fam.
Sesisuka lapho saluqonda ulwandle njalo sagudla ethunzini laseSiphrasi ngoba ukuvunguza komoya kwakuphambana lathi.
5 Yɛnam ɛpo so kɔfaa Kilikia ne Pamfilia kɔduruu Mira a ɛwɔ Likia mantam mu no mu.
Sathi sesiwele sadabula ulwandle olubanzi malungana lasokhunjini lweSilisiya lePhamfiliya, sakhuphukela eMira eseLikhiya.
6 Ɛhɔ na asraafoɔ panin no hunuu ɛhyɛn bi a ɛfiri Aleksandria rekɔ Italia. Enti, ɔde yɛn kɔtenaa mu.
Khonapho umphathi wekhulu wafumana umkhumbi wase-Alekizandriya uwelela e-Ithali, wasingenisa kuwo.
7 Ɛhyɛn no kɔɔ brɛoo maa yɛdii nna wɔ ɛpo no so. Yɛbrɛeɛ ansa na yɛreduru Knido. Esiane sɛ na mframa bɔ hyia yɛn no enti, yɛfaa Salmoni hyɛngyinabea ka kɔɔ Kreta nifa fam.
Sahamba sitotoba okwensuku ezinengi, sathwala nzima ukuyafika eKhinidu. Kwathi ngoba umoya usivalela ukuthi sihambe ngendlela yethu, sawela sayagudla ethunzini laseKhrethe, malungana leSalimoni.
8 Yɛka kɔɔ mpoano nkakrankakra kɔsii sɛ yɛde ɔbrɛ bɛduruu baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Hyɛn Agyinaeɛ a ɛbɛn kuro Lasea.
Sahamba siceza okhunjini kanzima, safika endaweni ethiwa kuseMathekumahle, eduze ledolobho laseLaseya.
9 Esiane sɛ na afe no rekɔ nʼawieeɛ na saa ɛberɛ no nso ɛpo no so fa yɛ hu no enti, yɛtenaa hɔ kyɛreeɛ. Paulo tuu wɔn fo sɛ,
Sasesilahlekelwe yisikhathi esinengi kakhulu, lokuhamba olwandle kwasekuyingozi kabi ngoba ngalesisikhathi kwasekungemva kwesikhathi sokuzila. Yikho uPhawuli wabaxwayisa wathi,
10 “Anuanom, mehunu sɛ, sɛ yɛtoa yɛn akwantuo yi so a, yɛbɛhunu amane ama ebia ɛhyɛn no abɔ ama emu nneɛma asɛe ama nnipa ahwere wɔn nkwa.”
“Madoda, ngibona ukuthi uhambo lolu luzakuba lengozi lomonakalo omkhulu, kubhidlike umkhumbi lempahla, lempilo zethu lathi.”
11 Nanso, asraafoɔ panin no antie fo a Paulo tuu wɔn no, na mmom ɔtiee nsɛm a hyɛnkafoɔ no ne ɛhyɛn no wura kaeɛ no.
Kodwa umphathi wekhulu, esikhundleni sokulalela lokho okwakutshiwo nguPhawuli, walandela iseluleko somtshayeli womkhumbi kanye lomnikazi wawo.
12 Esiane sɛ na hyɛngyinabea hɔ nyɛ mma sɛ wɔbɛtena hɔ awɔberɛ mu no enti, nnipa no bebree pɛɛ sɛ, sɛ ɛbɛtumi a, anka ɛhyɛn no bɛtu afiri hɔ akɔ Foinike. Foinike yɛ hyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Kreta a ɛda atifi ne anafoɔ ntam wɔ Atɔeɛ fam. Ɛyɛ baabi a wɔbɛtumi atena hɔ awɔberɛ mu.
Njengoba itheku lalingelihle ukuthi simise khona ebusika, abanengi bakhetha ukuthi siqhubeke ngohambo, bethemba ukuthi sizafika eFenikhe simise khona ebusika lobo. Leli kwakulitheku eliseKhrethe, elalikhangele eningizimu yentshonalanga njalo lenyakatho yentshonalanga.
13 Mframa a ano nyɛ den bɔ firii anafoɔ fam. Yei maa nnipa no susuu sɛ wɔbɛtumi atoa wɔn akwantuo no so sɛdeɛ wɔahyehyɛ no. Enti, wɔtuu sɛkyɛ no de ɛhyɛn no faa Kreta mpoano.
Kwathi ngokuphephetha komoya opholileyo waseningizimu, banakana ukuthi basebekutholile ababekudinga; ngakho bawukhulula umkhumbi wawela ugudle iKhrethe.
14 Ankyɛre koraa na mframa kɛseɛ bi a wɔfrɛ no “Atifi Apueeɛ Mframa” bɔ firii supɔ no so.
Masinyazana nje, umoya olamandla esivunguvungu owawuthiwa “yiNhlampumalanga” wavunguza usuka esihlengeni.
15 Mframa no bɔ bunkam faa yɛn ɛhyɛn no so twee no kɔɔ ɛpo no mu. Yɛbɔɔ mmɔden sɛ yɛbɛdane ɛhyɛn no ani na anyɛ yie no, yɛgyae maa mframa no twee no kɔeɛ.
Umkhumbi watshaywa yilesosiphepho wehluleka ukuqondana lomoya; ngakho wasehlula sasesindenda nje siwulandela.
16 Yɛduruu supɔ ketewa bi a wɔfrɛ no Klauda ho a na ɛhɔ mframa ano nyɛ den mpo no, yɛbrɛeɛ ansa na yɛretumi atwe ɛhyɛn no kodoɔ a ɛsɛn akyire no aba mu.
Sathi lapho sidlula ekusithekeni kwesihlenge esincane esithiwa yiKhawuda, kwasekusala lokuthi simise kuhle isikepe sokuphephela siqonde.
17 Ɛhyɛn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ maa so baa ɛhyɛn no mu, kyekyeree no dendeenden. Esiane sɛ na wɔsuro sɛ wɔbɛkɔ akɔtim anwea mu enti, wɔyiyii ɛhyɛn dua no so ntoma maa mframa no bɔɔ ɛhyɛn no kɔɔ baabiara a ɛpɛ.
Kwathi amadoda esesidonsele phezulu emkhunjini, basebethandela izintambo bebopha umkhumbi ngokwawo ukuze uqine wonke. Bathi ngoba besesaba ukuthi bazatshayeka emhlabathini wetshebetshebe laseSithisi, behlisa iseyili bayekela umkhumbi wazindendela nje.
18 Mframaden no kɔɔ so bɔeɛ; ɛno enti adeɛ kyeeɛ no, wɔyiyii ɛhyɛn no mu nneɛma no bi to guu ɛpo no mu.
Isiphepho sasizunguza kabuhlungu kwaze kwathi ngosuku olulandelayo saqalisa ukujikela umthwalo olwandle.
19 Ne nnansa so no, wɔsesaa ɛhyɛn no ho nneɛma no bi to guiɛ.
Ngosuku lwesithathu baphosela phandle ngezabo izandla izintambo lezinye impahla zokuhambisa umkhumbi.
20 Nna bebree twaa mu a na yɛnhunu awia anaa nsoromma a na mframaden no gu so retu. Yei maa yɛn anidasoɔ nyinaa saeɛ.
Kwathi sekuyizinsuku ezinengi singaliboni ilanga loba izinkanyezi, kodwa isiphepho silokhu sisidla ubhedu, saphelelwa lithemba lokuthi sizaphepha.
21 Nna bebree twaa mu a na obiara anidie no, Paulo ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Anuanom, sɛ motiee me na yɛantu amfiri Kreta a, anka ɛnyɛ ɛne yɛn amanehunu yi.
Amadoda ayesehlale isikhathi eside engadlanga, uPhawuli wasesima phambi kwabo, wathi, “Madoda, ngabe lingilalele sangasuki eKhrethe; ngabe kalizifakanga phakathi kwale inhlekenhleke lokulahlekelwa lokhu.
22 Nanso, momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam, ɛfiri sɛ, mo mu biara renwu na mmom, ɛhyɛn no na ɛbɛbɔ.
Kodwa manje ngiyalikhuthaza ukuthi lime isibindi, ngoba kakukho lamunye wenu ozakufa; ngumkhumbi kuphela ozabhidlika.
23 Nnora anadwo, Onyankopɔn a mesom no no ɔbɔfoɔ baa me nkyɛn
Izolo ebusuku ingilosi kaNkulunkulu engingowakhe mina njalo lengimkhonzayo ime phambi kwami
24 bɛka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Paulo, nsuro! Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara wobɛduru Kaesare anim ama wadi wʼasɛm. Wɔn a wɔka wo ho yi nso, Onyankopɔn adom enti, biribiara renyɛ wɔn.’
yathi, ‘Ungesabi, Phawuli. Kumele uyethonisiswa nguKhesari; njalo uNkulunkulu usebe lomusa wokukunika impilo zabo bonke owela labo.’
25 Anuanom, momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam, ɛfiri sɛ, megye Onyankopɔn di na asɛm a waka akyerɛ me no bɛba mu pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Ngakho manini isibindi, madoda, ngoba ngiyamethemba uNkulunkulu ukuthi kuzakwenzakala njengokungitshela kwakhe.
26 Nanso, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, ɛhyɛn no bɛbɔ wɔ supɔ bi mpoano.”
Kodwa phela sisezake sitshayeke phansi sikhaphazelwe esihlengeni esithile.”
27 Ne nnawɔtwe mmienu anadwo no a na mframaden no enti ɛhyɛn no redi akɔneaba wɔ Adria ɛpo so no, ɔdasuo mu na ɛhyɛn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ hunuu sɛ yɛrebɛn asase.
Ngobusuku betshumi lane sasilokhu siyaluziswa oLwandle lwe-Adriyathi, lapho okwathi phakathi kobusuku abaqhubi bomkhumbi bezwa kungathi basebesondela emhlabathini.
28 Wɔtoo susuhoma hunuu sɛ nsuo no mu tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonu. Ɛyɛɛ kakra a wɔsusuu bio no, wɔhunuu sɛ ɛyɛ anammɔn aduɔkron.
Baphosa izintambo zokulinganisa bafumana ukuthi amanzi ayezike okwezingalo ezilikhulu elilamatshumi amabili. Ngemva kwesikhatshana baphinda baziphosa njalo bafumana izingalo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye ukuzika.
29 Esiane sɛ na wɔsuro sɛ anyɛ a ɛhyɛn no bɛpem abotan bi enti, wɔtoo sɛkyɛ ɛnan wɔ ɛhyɛn no akyi twɛn kɔsii adekyeeɛ.
Bathi ngoba besesaba ukuthi sasizasakazeka ematsheni basebesehlisa insika zokumisa umkhumbi ngemuva bekhalela ukuthi kuse.
30 Ɛhyɛn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ pɛɛ sɛ wɔdwane. Enti, wɔgyaee ɛhyɛn no kodoɔ no sii ɛpo no ani boapa yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔrekɔto asɛkyɛ wɔ ɛhyɛn no anim.
Abaqhubi bomkhumbi bazama ukunyenya babaleke emkhunjini ngokwehlisela isikepe sokusinda olwandle bezenza abafuna ukuyakwehlisa ezinye insika ngaphambili komkhumbi.
31 Paulo ka kyerɛɛ asraafoɔ panin no ne asraafoɔ a wɔka ne ho no sɛ, “Sɛ ɛhyɛn yi mu adwumayɛfoɔ no dwane a, mobɛwuwu.”
UPhawuli wasesithi kumphathi wekhulu lasemabuthweni, “Nxa amadoda la engahlali emkhunjini, ngeke lisinde.”
32 Yei enti, asraafoɔ no twaa ahoma a ɛkyekyere ɛhyɛn no kodoɔ no mu no maa ɛkɔeɛ.
Ngakho amabutho asequma izintambo ezazibambe isikepe sokusinda asiyekela sayagxumukela emanzini.
33 Adeɛ reyɛ akye no, Paulo srɛɛ wɔn nyinaa sɛ wɔnnidi. Deɛ ɔkae ne sɛ, “Nnawɔtwe mmienu ni, mo mu biara mfaa aduane nkaa nʼano.
Sekubanga emathathakusa, uPhawuli wabakhuthaza bonke ukuthi badle. Wathi, “Okwensuku ezilitshumi lane ezidluleyo belihlezi libambe amaphaphu enu; lisehluleka lokudla; kalizange lidle lutho.
34 Mesrɛ mo, obiara nnidi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛnya ahoɔden. Biribiara renyɛ obiara.”
Okwamanje ngilicela ukuthi lidle. Kumele lidle ukuze liphile. Kakho loyedwa wenu ozalahlekelwa lalunwele ekhanda lakhe.”
35 Paulo kasa wieeɛ no, ɔfaa burodo bɔɔ mpaeɛ, daa Onyankopɔn ase wɔ wɔn nyinaa anim na ɔbuu bi diiɛ.
Esekutshilo lokhu, wathatha isinkwa wabonga kuNkulunkulu phambi kwabo bonke. Wasesihlephuna wadla.
36 Amonom hɔ ara, wɔn nyinaa bo tɔɔ wɔn yam ma wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ didiiɛ.
Bonke baqunga isibindi basebesidla labo.
37 Nnipa a na yɛwɔ ɛhyɛn no mu no dodoɔ yɛ ahanu ne aduɔson nsia.
Sisonke sasingabantu abangamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesithupha emkhunjini.
38 Obiara didi meeɛ no, ɛhyɛn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ no too aburoo a ɛwɔ ɛhyɛn no mu no guu ɛpo no mu ma ɛhyɛn no mu yɛɛ hare.
Bathi sebedlile basutha, baphungula ukusindwa komkhumbi ngokuchithela amabele olwandle.
39 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, hyɛn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ no anhunu sɛ wɔaduru mpoano. Wɔhunuu baabi a ɛpo no adidi akɔ asase no mu a nsuo taa hɔ. Enti, wɔyɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛka hyɛn no akɔ hɔ ama akɔtim.
Kwathi sokusile kabawunanzelelanga umhlabathi, kodwa babona itheku elaligcwele itshebetshebe, basebezimisela ukuthi umkhumbi bayewumisa khona nxa kuvuma.
40 Ɛno enti, wɔtwitwaa hyɛn no asɛkyɛ nhoma no mu maa asɛkyɛ no guu ɛpo mu. Afei, wɔsanesanee ahoma a ɛkura akyerɛkyerɛkwan no mu na afei wɔsii ntoma a ɛwɔ ɛhyɛn no anim no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mframa bɛtumi abɔ hyɛn no akɔ mpoano.
Baquma insika bazitshiya zicwila olwandle, baphinda banyomula lezintambo ezazibambe okokugwedlisa. Basebephakamisa iseyili yaphambili beyiqondisa emoyeni, basebeqonda ekhunjini.
41 Nanso, ɛhyɛn no kɔpem anweatam bi ma ɛtimiiɛ. Ɛhyɛn no anim timii dendeenden ɛnna nʼakyi no nso, asorɔkye a na ɛrebɔ no no ma ɛbubuiɛ.
Kodwa umkhumbi watshayelela esidulini setshebetshebe olwandle wahle wabhajwa. Isihloko sawo sathi ngxi phansi asabe sisanyikinyeka, ingemuva yona yahlakazeka itshaywa ngamagagasi.
42 Asraafoɔ no yɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛkunkum nneduafoɔ no nyinaa sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara rennya ɛkwan nnwane.
Amabutho asesithi kungcono abulale izibotshwa ukuze kungabikhona esizantsheza sibaleke.
43 Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ na asraafoɔ panin no pɛ sɛ ɔgye Paulo nkwa no enti, wamma wɔn ho ɛkwan. Mmom, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔbɛtumi adware no ahyɛaseɛ nnware nkɔ mpoano.
Kodwa umphathi wekhulu wayefuna ukuvikela impilo kaPhawuli, yikho wabalela ukuthi bakwenze lokho abasebekumisile. Walaya labo ababelamandla okuntsheza ukuba bazithele olwandle bona kuqala baqonde emhlabathini.
44 Wɔn a aka no nso ntetare mmerɛte ne nnua asinasini a abubu firi hyɛn no mu no so nkɔ mpoano. Saa ɛkwan yi so na yɛnam bɛduruu mpoano nohoa dwoodwoo.
Inengi lalizandenda ngamapulanka liye khona loba ngasiqa bani somkhumbi. Ngale indlela wonke umuntu wafika emhlabathini ephephile.
