Imbombo 27
1 Ye valaghile kuuti tulondua ku ghenda mu malenga kuluta ku Italia, vakam'pelile u Paulo nava kungua avange kwa m'baha jumo ughwa kipugha kimo ikya va Roma juno itambulua Julio, ava kipugha ikya Agustani.
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 Tukapandile imeli kuhuma ku Adramitamu, jino jikale jighenda mulubale mu pwani ija Asia. Pa uluo pe tukingila mu nyanja. Aristaka kuhuma Thesolanike ija ku Makedonia akaluta palikimo nusue.
Embarking in a ship of 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 Ikighono kino kikavingilile tukima mulikaja ilya Sidoni, pano u Julio aka m'bombile u Paulo nhu vuhugu kange aka n'tavwile kuluta ku vamanyani va mwene ku kwupila uvuhugu vu vanave.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Kuhuma pala tukaluta kunyanja tukaghendagha ku syuta ikiponge ikya Kipro kino kikale kisigha imepo, ulwakuuva imepo jikale jikutukong'ania.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Ye tughendile mu malenga ghano ghalipipi ni Kilikia naku Pamfilia, tukisa ku Mira, mulikaja ilya Lisia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Pala u m'baha ughwa kipugha ikya va Roma, akajaghile i meli kuhuma ku Alexandria jino jighenda kuluta ku italia. Akatutosia Mu n'kate.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Ye ighenda molamola mu fighono ifinga pe tukafikile nu lupumuko pipi na ku Kinidas, imepo najikatutavwile kange kuluta mu sila ijio, pe tukaghenda mulubale mukimughighi ikya ku Krete ye tusigha imepo, m'bading'ani naku Salmone.
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 Tukaghenda mulubale kuvu talamu, m'paka tukalutile pakimenyule kino kitanmbulua Fari Haveni jino jilipipi nilikaja ilya Lasi.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Tukatolile un'siki n'kome nkyongo, nu n'siki ughwa n'kungua ughwa Kiyahudi ghukakilile kange, liino pelukale ulutalamu. Pa uluo u Paulo akatupavile,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 na kuuti, “Vghosi, nivona lughendo luno tulonda pitola luva nuvunangifu kange nuvu luvumbulilo lwinga, nambe ku masigho ni meli, looli kange nuvukalo vwitu.”
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 Looli um'baha ughwa kipugha kya va Roma akam'pulikisia kyongo u Mutua ghwa mwene nunya meli, kukila amasio ghala ghano ghalyajovilue nu 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 U lwakuva i bandari napalyale pahugu pikukala un'siki ughw ng'ala, avaghendesia meli vinga vakatuhigha tuvuke kuhuma pala, ulwakuuti fifino luvisaghe pikulifikila ilikaja lya Foinike, tukale pala un'siki ghwa ng'aala. I Foinike bandali ja ukuo ku Krete, kange jilola kunena na kuvuhumo na kumavemba kuvuhumo.
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 southwest and northwest.
13 I mepo ja kumavemba ye jitengwile kugugula lukeluke, ava ghendesia meli vasagha kuuti kila kino vakalondagha. Vakavusia ikimilo kya meli nakughenda mulubale mu Krete pipi na mu mwani.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Looli un'siki n'debe ye ghukilile imepo inyinga, jino jikatambuluagha kuvuhumo ku nena, jikatengula kutusukania kumwambo ku kiponge.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Un'siki ghuno imeli jilya kunilue na kukunua kukujitola imepo, tukiting'ana nu luveelo uluo, tukapindua na veene.
When the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Tukakimbila kukila ulubale luuo luno lukasighagha imepo ija kiponge kino kitambulua Kauda; na kupumuka kyongo tukakagula pikughupoka ikivoti.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Pano vakati vajikwesile, valyakungule imeli nu lughoji. Valyoghuipe kuuti tunoghile piluta kuno lilikuo ilihanga linga ilya Syiti, apuo pe vakisia inanga kange vakaghendelagha mulubale.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 Tulya gasivue kyongo nama vingu, apuo ikighono kino kilya vingilile avaghendesia meli vakatengula kutagha amasigho kuhuma mu meli.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Ikighono ikya vutatu, avaghendesia meli vakatengula pihumia amalenga namavoko ghavanave.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Un'siki ghuno ili juva ni nondue nafilya tumulikile fighono finga ghalya jighe amavingu amavaha ghikutugasia, nuluhuvilo ulwakuuti ndeponu tupokua lulwavukile
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 Vakaati vaghendile ulughendo lutali kisila kyakulia, apuo pe u Paulo akima pakate na kati pavaghendesia meli akaati, “Vaghosi, lunoghile mu mulikisie, kange natuvele tuvusisie inanga kuhuma ku Kret, neke pe tupate imumuko isita luvumbulilo.
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 Lino pe nikuvanyasia, ulwakuva nakwekuva kusovia uvwumi vwinu, looli tusofisie ji meli.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Ulwakuva ikilo jino jikilile umunyamola gha Nguluve, juno ujuo u Nguluve une nilighwa mwene, kange ghwejuno nikufunya kwa mwene - umunyamola ghwa mwene avele imile mulubale mulyune
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 na kuuti, “Nuloghopagha Paulo. Lukunoghile kukwima pavulongolo pa Kaisari, lolagha u Nguluve mu vuhugu vwa mwene akupelile ava vooni vano vighenda palikimo nuve.
saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Pa uluo, avaghosi, mugudaghe, ulwakuva mukumwitika u Nguluve, kuuti luva ndavule nivele nivulilue.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Looli lutunoghile kupumuka mulwa ku tovua mu fimonga ifi ponge.”
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Ye jifikile ikilo ija kijigho na fine, pano tuvele mulunjughanjugha ulwa kuno na kuno mu nyanja ija Adratik, ndavule ikilo n'kate n'diki, avaghendesia meli valyasaghile kuuti vaseghelile ku mwani.
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 Valyavombile amasio kulola uvutali uvwa malenga pasi vakasagha imita fijigho fitatu n'tanda, ye ghukilile un'siki n'debe vakapima kange vakasivona imita ifijigho fivili ni lekela lubale.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Valyoghwipe taasi kuuti tunogile kubumala muma nalavue, apuo pe vakisia inanga inne kuhuma pano palyavikilue pakuvika inanga pe vakifunya kuuti ilwakilavo hwene jise ng'aning'ani.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Avaghendesia meli vava valyale vilonda pikujilekelesia i meli jila pe vakisisie mumalenga amavoli amadebe isa kuvapoka ku vwumi vwave, vakivika kuuti hwene vitagha inanga kuvulongolo kumavoti.
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 Looli u Paulo akam'bula jula un'sikali gha kipugha ikya vasikari ava kiroma nava sikar vala, “Namungapokue looli avaanhu ava vasighale mu meli”.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 Apuo ava sikari vala pe vakadumula ingoji sa livoti lila pe jikalekua jitolue na malenga.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Un'siki ghuno kulyale ku tema pa lwakilavo, u Paulo akavapelepesia vooni kuuti valie padebe. Akaati, “Umusyughu kighono kya kijigho na fine mughula kisila kulia, namulile kimonga.
While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Pe nikuvavula mutole ikyakulia ikidebe, ulwakuva vwimila uvu avwa kukala kulyumue; nakwelile nambe ilinyele limo mumatue ghiinu lino lisova.
Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
35 Ye ajoovile aghuo akatola un'kate akamuhongesia u Nguluve pavulongolo pa maso muunhu ghweeni. pe akamenyula un'kate akatengula kulia.
When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Pa uluo vooni vakakangasivua inumbula na veene vakatola ikyakulia.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Tulyale avaanhu 276 mun'kate mu meli.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Yevalile fikwiline, vakajivombile imeli jive m'mepe ku tagha ingano mun'kate mu nyanja.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Ye mwisi, navakajitambuile iisi, looli pe vakalola iisi jino jingile mu malenga jino jilyale nilihanga linga vakapuling'ana ndavule vanoghile kughendesia imeli kuluta apuo.
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 Pa uluo vakalegesia inanga vakasileka mu nyanja. Mun'siki ghughuhuo vakasilegesia ingoji isa tanga pevakinula kuvulongolo kuluta ku mepo pe vakaluta mulihanga ilinga.
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 Looli vakisa pala pano amakuja ghavili agha malenga ghitang'ana, ni meli jikaluta kulihanga. Napala pavulongolo pa meli jikima pala najikanoghile ku vuka, looli pavulongolo pa meli pakatengula kudenyeka ulwakuva amaviingu ghakale ni ngufu.
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 Uvutavike vwa va sikari ghukale kuvabuda avakungua, ulwakuuti na kwale juno ikwoghela na kudyegha.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Looli un'sikari jula ughwa kipugha ikya va Roma alyalondile kukumwavula u Paulo, pe akamwimia uvutavike vuvanave, kange akavalaghila vala vano vanoghile kukwoghela, vajumbe kuhuma mu meli valute mu iisi.
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 Pa uluo ava ghosi avange vivingilila, avange mufighave ifya mbavo nakange avange mufinu ifinge kuhuma mu meli. Musila iji jihumile kuuti vooni vafike vunofu ku iisi
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
