< Acts 27 >
1 Bí a sì ti pinnu rẹ̀ pé kí a wọ ọkọ̀ lọ sí Itali, wọn fi Paulu àti àwọn òǹdè mìíràn lé balógun ọ̀rún kan lọ́wọ́, ti a ń pè ní Juliusi, ti ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun Augustu.
Then it was decided to send him by ship to Italy, and that Paul, with the others in custody, should be delivered to a centurion named Julius, of the cohort of Augusta.
2 Nígbà tí a sì wọ ọkọ̀-òkun Adramittiu kan, tí a fẹ́ lọ sí àwọn ìlú ti ó wà létí Òkun Asia, a ṣíkọ̀: Aristarku, ará Makedonia láti Tẹsalonika wà pẹ̀lú wa.
After climbing aboard a ship from Adramyttium, we set sail and began to navigate along the ports of Asia, with Aristarchus, the Macedonian from Thessalonica, joining us.
3 Ní ọjọ́ kejì, a gúnlẹ̀ sí Sidoni. Juliusi sì ṣe inú rere sì Paulu, ó sì fún un láààyè kí ó máa tọ àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ kí wọn le ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ̀.
And on the following day, we arrived at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul humanely, permitted him to go to his friends and to look after himself.
4 Nígbà tí a sì kúrò níbẹ̀, a lọ lẹ́bàá Saipurọsi, nítorí tí afẹ́fẹ́ ṣọwọ́ òdì.
And when we had set sail from there, we navigated below Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Nígbà tí a ré Òkun Kilikia àti Pamfilia kọjá, a gúnlẹ̀ sí Mira ti Likia.
And navigating though the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we arrived at Lystra, which is in Lycia.
6 Níbẹ̀ ni balógun ọ̀rún sì rí ọkọ̀-òkun Alekisandiria kan, ti ń lọ sí Itali; ó sì fi wa sínú rẹ̀.
And there the centurion found a ship from Alexandria sailing to Italy, and he transferred us to it.
7 Nígbà tí a ń lọ jẹ́jẹ́ ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀, ti a fi agbára káká dé ọ̀kánkán Knidu, àti nítorí tí afẹ́fẹ́ kò fún wa láààyè, a ba ẹ̀bá Krete lọ, lọ́kankán Salmoni.
And when we had sailed slowly for many days and had barely arrived opposite Cnidus, for the wind was hindering us, we sailed to Crete, near Salmone.
8 Nígbà tí a sì fi agbára káká kọjá rẹ̀, a dé ibi tí a ń pè ní Èbùté Yíyanjú, tí ó súnmọ́ ìlú Lasea.
And barely being able to sail past it, we arrived at a certain place, which is called Good Shelter, next to which was the city of Lasea.
9 Nígbà ti a sì ti sọ ọjọ́ púpọ̀ nù, àti pé ìrìnàjò wa sì ti léwu gan an nítorí nísinsin yìí àwẹ̀ ti kọjá lọ, Paulu dá ìmọ̀ràn.
Then, after much time had passed, and since sailing would no longer be prudent because the Fast Day had now passed, Paul consoled them,
10 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Alàgbà, mo wòye pé ìṣíkọ̀ yìí yóò ní ewu, òfò púpọ̀ yóò sì wá, kì í ṣe kìkì ti ẹrù àti ti ọkọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ti ọkàn wa pẹ̀lú.”
and he said to them: “Men, I perceive that the voyage is now in danger of injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but also to our own lives.”
11 Ṣùgbọ́n balógun ọ̀rún gba ti olórí ọkọ̀ àti ti ọlọ́kọ̀ gbọ́, ju ohun wọ̀nyí tí Paulu wí lọ.
But the centurion put more trust in the captain and the navigator of the ship, than in the things being said by Paul.
12 Àti nítorí pé èbúté náà kò rọrùn láti lo àkókò òtútù níbẹ̀, àwọn púpọ̀ sí dámọ̀ràn pé, kí a lọ kúrò níbẹ̀, bóyá wọn ó lè làkàkà dé Fonike, tí i ṣe èbúté Krete ti ó kọjú sí òsì ìwọ̀-oòrùn, àti ọ̀tún ìwọ̀-oòrùn, láti lo àkókò òtútù níbẹ̀.
And since it was not a fitting port in which to winter, the majority opinion was to sail from there, so that somehow they might be able to arrive at Phoenicia, in order to winter there, at a port of Crete, which looks out toward the southwest and northwest.
13 Nígbà tí afẹ́fẹ́ gúúsù sì ń fẹ́ jẹ́jẹ́, tí wọn ṣe bí ọwọ́ àwọn tẹ ohun tí wọn ń wá, wọ́n ṣíkọ̀, wọn ń gba ẹ̀bá Krete lọ.
And since the south wind was blowing gently, they thought that they might reach their goal. And after they had set out from Asson, they weighed anchor at Crete.
14 Kò sì pẹ́ lẹ́yìn náà ni ìjì ti a ń pè ni Eurakuilo fẹ́ lù erékùṣù náà.
But not long afterward, a violent wind came against them, which is called the Northeast Wind.
15 Nígbà ti ó sì ti gbé ọkọ̀-òkun náà, ti kò sì lè dojúkọ ìjì yìí, a fi i sílẹ̀, ó ń gbá a lọ.
And once the ship had been caught in it and was not able to strive against the wind, giving over the ship to the winds, we were driven along.
16 Nígbà tí ó sì gbá a lọ lábẹ́ erékùṣù kan tí a ń pè Kauda, ó di iṣẹ́ púpọ̀ kí a tó lè súnmọ́ ìgbàjá ààbò.
Then, being forced along a certain island, which is called the Tail, we were barely able to hold on to the ship’s lifeboat.
17 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbé e sókè, wọn sa agbára láti dí ọkọ̀-òkun náà nísàlẹ̀, nítorí tí wọ́n ń bẹ̀rù kí á máa ba à gbé wọn sórí iyanrìn dídẹ̀, wọn fi ìgbokùn sílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a sì ń gbá wa kiri.
When this was taken up, they used it to assist in securing the ship. For they were afraid that they might run aground. And having lowered the sails, they were being driven along in this way.
18 Bí a sì ti ń ṣe làálàá gidigidi nínú ìjì náà, ni ọjọ́ kejì wọn kó ẹrù-ọkọ̀ dà sí omi láti mú ọkọ̀ fẹ́rẹ̀.
Then, since we were being tossed about strongly by the tempest, on the following day, they threw the heavy items overboard.
19 Ní ọjọ́ kẹta, wọ́n fi ọwọ́ ara wọn kó ohun èlò ọkọ̀ dànù.
And on the third day, with their own hands, they threw the equipment of the ship overboard.
20 Nígbà tí oòrùn àti ìràwọ̀ kò si hàn lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀, tí ìjì náà kò sì mọ níwọ̀n fún wa, àbá àti là kò sí fún wa mọ́.
Then, when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no end to the storm was imminent, all hope for our safety was now taken away.
21 Nígbà tí wọ́n wà ní àìjẹun lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀, nígbà náà Paulu dìde láàrín wọn, o wí pé, “Alàgbà, ẹ̀yin bá ti gbọ́ tèmi kí a má ṣe ṣíkọ̀ kúrò ní Krete, ewu àti òfò yìí kì ìbá ti bá wa.
And after they had fasted for a long time, Paul, standing in their midst, said: “Certainly, men, you should have listened to me and not set out from Crete, so as to cause this injury and loss.
22 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí mó gbà yín níyànjú, kí ẹ tújúká; nítorí kí yóò sí òfò ẹ̀mí nínú yín, bí kò ṣe ti ọkọ̀.
And now, let me persuade you to be courageous in soul. For there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Nítorí angẹli Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí èmi jẹ́ tirẹ̀, àti ẹni ti èmi ń sìn, ó dúró tì mi ni òru àná.
For an Angel of God, who is assigned to me and whom I serve, stood beside me this night,
24 Ó wí pé, ‘Má bẹ̀rù, Paulu; ìwọ kò lè ṣàìmá dúró níwájú Kesari. Sì wò ó, Ọlọ́run ti fi gbogbo àwọn ti ó bá ọ wọ ọkọ̀ pọ̀ fún ọ.’
saying: ‘Do not be afraid, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar. And behold, God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.’
25 Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà, alàgbà, ẹ dárayá: nítorí mo gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́ pé, yóò rí bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti sọ fún mi.
Because of this, men, be courageous in soul. For I trust God that this will happen in the same way that it has been told to me.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n a ó gbá wa jù sí erékùṣù kan.”
But it is necessary for us to arrive at a certain island.”
27 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó di òru ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá, bí a ti ń gbé wa kọjá lọ láàrín Òkun Adria, láàrín ọ̀gànjọ́ àwọn atukọ̀ funra pé, àwọn súnmọ́ etí ilẹ̀ kan.
Then, after the fourteenth night arrived, as we were navigating in the sea of Adria, about the middle of the night, the sailors believed that they saw some portion of the land.
28 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì wọn Òkun, wọ́n rí i ó jì ní ogún ìgbọ̀nwọ́, nígbà tì í wọ́n sún síwájú díẹ̀, wọ́n sì tún wọn Òkun, wọn rí i pé ó jì ni ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún.
And upon dropping a weight, they found a depth of twenty paces. And some distance from there, they found a depth of fifteen paces.
29 Nígbà tí wọ́n bẹ̀rù kí wọn má ṣe rọ́ lu orí òkúta, wọ́n sọ ìdákọ̀ró mẹ́rin sílẹ̀ ni ìdí ọkọ̀, wọ́n ń retí ojúmọ́.
Then, fearing that we might happen upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and they were hoping for daylight to arrive soon.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn atukọ̀ ń wá ọ̀nà láti sá kúrò nínú ọkọ̀, tí wọ́n sì ti sọ àwọn ọkọ̀ kéékèèké kalẹ̀ sí ojú Òkun, bí ẹni pé wọn ń fẹ́ sọ ìdákọ̀ró sílẹ̀ níwájú ọkọ̀.
Yet truly, the sailors were seeking a way to flee from the ship, for they had lowered a lifeboat into the sea, on the pretext that they were attempting to cast anchors from the bow of the ship.
31 Paulu wí fún balógun ọ̀rún àti fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun pé, “Bí kò ṣe pé àwọn wọ̀nyí bá dúró nínú ọkọ̀ ẹ̀yin kí yóò lè là!”
So Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these men remain in the ship, you will not be able to be saved.”
32 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ogun gé okùn àwọn ọkọ̀ kéékèèké, wọ́n jù ú sílẹ̀ kí ó ṣubú sọ́hùn-ún.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat, and they allowed it to fall.
33 Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ ń mọ́ bọ̀, Paulu bẹ gbogbo wọn kí wọn jẹun díẹ̀, ó wí pé, “Òní ni ó di ìjẹrìnlá tí ẹ̀yin ti ń retí, ti ẹ kò dẹ́kun gbígbààwẹ̀, tí ẹ kò sì jẹun.
And when it began to be light, Paul requested that they all take food, saying: “This is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and continuing to fast, taking nothing.
34 Nítorí náà mo bẹ̀ yín, kí ẹ jẹun díẹ̀, nítorí èyí ni fún ìgbàlà yín: nítorí irun kan kí yóò gé kúrò lórí ẹnìkan nínú yín.”
For this reason, I beg you to accept food for the sake of your health. For not a hair from the head of any of you shall perish.”
35 Nígbà tí ó sì wí nǹkan wọ̀nyí, tí ó sì mú àkàrà, ó dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run níwájú gbogbo wọn: nígbà tí ó si bù ú, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí i jẹ.
And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo wọ́n sì dárayá, àwọn pẹ̀lú sì gba oúnjẹ.
Then they all became more peaceful in soul. And they also took food.
37 Gbogbo wa tí ń bẹ nínú ọkọ̀-òkun náà sì jẹ́ ọ̀rìnlúgba ènìyàn ó dín mẹ́rin.
Truly, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Nígbà tí wọn jẹun yó tan, wọn bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí mu ọkọ̀-òkun náà fúyẹ́, nípa kíkó alikama dà sí omi.
And having been nourished with food, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
39 Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ sí mọ́, wọn kò mọ́ ilẹ̀ náà; ṣùgbọ́n wọn rí apá odò kan tí ó ní èbúté, níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbèrò, bóyá ó le ṣe é ṣe láti mu ọkọ̀ gúnlẹ̀.
And when day had arrived, they did not recognize the landscape. Yet truly, they caught sight of a certain narrow inlet having a shore, into which they thought it might be possible to force the ship.
40 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gé ìdákọ̀ró kúrò, wọn jù wọn sínú Òkun, lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà wọn tú ìdè-ọkọ̀, wọn sì ta ìgbokùn iwájú ọkọ̀ sí afẹ́fẹ́, wọn sì wakọ̀ kọjú sí etí Òkun.
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, at the same time loosing the restraints of the rudders. And so, raising the mainsail to the gusting wind, they pressed on toward the shore.
41 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì dé ibi tí Òkun méjì pàdé, wọn fi orí ọkọ̀ sọlẹ̀: iwájú rẹ̀ sì kàn mọ́lẹ̀ ṣinṣin, ó dúró, kò lè yí, ṣùgbọ́n agbára rírú omi bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí fọ́ ìdí ọkọ̀ náà.
And when we happened upon a place open to two seas, they ran the ship aground. And indeed, the bow, being immobilized, remained fixed, but truly the stern was broken by the violence of the sea.
42 Èrò àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni ki a pa àwọn òǹdè, kí ẹnikẹ́ni wọn má ba à wẹ̀ jáde sálọ.
Then the soldiers were in agreement that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone, after escaping by swimming, might flee.
43 Ṣùgbọ́n balógun ọ̀rún ń fẹ́ gba Paulu là, ó kọ èrò wọn, ó sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn tí ó lè wẹ̀ kí wọn bọ́ sí Òkun lọ sì ilẹ̀.
But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prohibited it from being done. And he ordered those who were able to swim to jump in first, and to escape, and to get to the land.
44 Àti àwọn ìyókù, òmíràn lórí pátákó, àti òmíràn lórí àwọn igi tí ó ya kúrò lára ọkọ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ṣe tí gbogbo wọn yọ, ní àlàáfíà dé ilẹ̀.
And as for the others, some they carried on boards, and others on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it happened that every soul escaped to the land.
