Katwa Nono Katwa 27
1 Na iwa yenin au ti ma nyeu udu Italiya, I nakpa Bulus ku nin namon anang licin nacaran kon kusoja unang kisan Julius, na awadin Agusta.
And 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 Ti piran Zurgin myein unuzun Andramatiya, ule na uwadin cin kusari kurawan Asiya. Tidoo tidi yene, Aristarkus unuzun Tassalonika nanyan Makidoniya nyaa nan narik.
And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Nin kurtunun nkuiye ti pira nanya kagberin Sidon, kikaa na Julius wa yiru Bulus ku adoo ninghe kiti na doone na iwa yenjeghe nsen.
And the next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends, and receive their care.
4 Unuzu kikane ti doo kurawa kudyawe, ti cina nanyan zirgin myeine udu lidan kulin Kubrus na uma kese ufune, bara na ufune wa wantin nari ucin.
And thence putting to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Na ti wa din nanyan myeine kupoon Kilikiya nin Bamfiliya, ti da Umira, kagbirin Lisiya.
And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Kikane ku soje se uzirgi unuzun Iskandariya na uwa cinu udu Italiya. A taa nari nanye.
And there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria about to sail for Italy, put us on board of it.
7 Na a wa cinu seng ayiri gbardan unin duru nin nijasi kang kupoo Knidus, Na ufunwe nsuna nari ba, bara nani ti cina kusari kucinen Krete, kupoon Salmone.
And sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Ti cina ngau kurawa kudgawe nin nijasi se na ti wa dak nkankiti na idin yicu Fiya Havens ule na udi kupoo kagberin Lasiya.
and coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.
9 Ti malu nanzu kubi kang, kubin kifu tinuu na Yahudawa tutung malu kafu, unin so nari nin nijasi ti ti ubum nin cine. Bara nani Bulus wunno nani atuff,
And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,
10 anin waro, “Anit, inyene ucin ulele na ti masu uma dak nari nin langzu kull nin duru nimoon gbardang na ma kuturan zerge cas ba, ti lai bite ulang.”
saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Bara nani ku soje ceu kibinai me kitin cikilare nin nanang zirge ashawa imoon ile na Bulus din bellu.
But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.
12 Bara na ufune wa caun ti so nanye ba, ngbardang nanang cine woro ti cinu kikane. Andi ti wa sa tiduru kagbirin Foniks, liwitine katanari kikane, Ufoniks wadi nin nadanga kupoo ngau kurawa nanyan Krete uwadin yenjun kitene kusarin nucun wui nin kusarin disun wui.
And as the harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.
13 Na ufunu kusarin disun nwuiye ncizina ukuu batbat, anan kuun zirge yenje nafo idin nin vat nimon ile na I dinin su we. Bara nani I kala inyeneghe inin cine kusarin Krete, kupoon ngau we.
And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete.
14 Na I dandauna ba ufunu udya, naidin sun nnin ufunu kusarin nu cun nwui cizina ufoo nari.
But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 Na uzirge nkpiliya kidowo tutung na uwasa uyenje kusarin fune ba, ti cino unin nanye udin cinu nin narik.
And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.
16 Ti cun ligowe kusari lidan nanya kuli libene lo na idin yicu ukauda, nin neu udya ti wa se ka zirge kabenen nlai.
And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;
17 Na I nyangtina ti shote itece uzirgi udyawe mun. I wa lanza fiu au to ma cinu ketene nicicin Nsirtiya, i cino ushote ufunue nyaa nin ghinu.
which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.
18 Ti wa dira kang nin fune ukurtunung nkui ye anang katwa nzirge nutuzuno imoone ifilzino nanya myeine.
And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;
19 Liri lin tate anan latwa nzirge nin nacara mene filizino imoone.
and the third day we cast out with our own hands the movables of the ship.
20 Nanya nayiri gbardang na uwui ming niyini nnuzu ba, ufunu udindya nin din kuu nari, vat in ceu nibinai bite ti ma ulai ula nuzu.
And as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was taken away.
21 Na iwa cinu piit sa imonli, Bulus nin yisina kiitik nanan katwa nzirge a woro, “Anit ale nkuru fo ini lanzai, na tiwa nuzu nKrete ba, bara ule ulanzun nkule nin diru nimoon ilele.
And after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.
22 Nene indin ti minu likara nibinai na iwa ti yototo ba, bara na ima diru umong nanya mine ba, ma udirum zirgere.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Bara nin kiitik unan kadura Kutelle ule na meng di ligowe ninghe, ule na indin tumuzunghe tutung - unan kadura me yisin likot nighe
For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 anin woro, 'Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Bulus. Uma yisinu nbun nKaisar, unin yene, Kutelle nanyan nkunekune me ana nife vat nale na una cinu nanghinu.'
saying, Fear not, Paul! Thou must stand before Caesar; and lo, God hath given thee all those that sail with thee.
25 Bara nani, anit, tan kibinai likara bara na inyinna nin Kutelle, au ima so nafo na iwa bellin.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be just as it hath been told me.
26 Bara nani tima nyanju kitune nadan nanya kurawa kudya.”
But we must be cast upon some island.
27 Na kiitik kin likune nin kin nas ndaa, na tiwa din cin libau lole au nin nanya kurawa kudyan Adriyatik nin kutek kiitik anan katwan zirge din yenju idaa kupoon ngou kurawe.
And when the fourteenth night had come on, as we were driven onward in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were near some country;
28 Idumna nmyeine ise abunu likure nin naba, na I dandauna ba ikuru idumna ise abunu likure nin nitaun.
and sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little further and sounded again, they found fifteen fathoms;
29 I lanza fiu au ima diu kitene natala ituu ucinko unas ligang nzirge inin son ncaa uwui nuzu.
then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for day.
30 Anan katwa nzirge wa din piziru ndina nworu I filin unin icum, I wadi imalu tuu uzirgi ubene nanya kurawe, idin dursuzu nafo ima tuu umong ucinko nbune.
And as the sailors were seeking means to escape from the ship, when they had lowered the boat into the sea, under the pretence that they were about to carry out anchors from the foreship,
31 Bulus woro indya na soje nin nasoje, “Andi na unit alele nso nanyan nzirge ba nati ma ti ulai ba.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, If these men do not stay in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 A soje nin werzine tii nzirge isuna unin unyaa.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Na nkanang ncizina udasu, Bulus risa nani ili imonli, a woro, “Kitimone liri lin likure nin na nasari ulele na ileu imonli ba.
And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take food; saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye have waited, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Bara nani indin putu minu nacara ipiziru imonli ili, bara inan se ulai; na liti lirum tete mene ma wulu ba.”
Wherefore I exhort you to take food; for this is for your safety; for there shall not a hair be lost from the head of one of you.
35 Na abenle nani, ayira uburodi ataa nlira ku niyizi mine vat; anin puco unin acizina ule.
And having thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and having broken it, he began to eat.
36 Inung nin se likara nibinai, inung ulang cizina ule.
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.
37 Ti wa di akolt aba nin nakut kuzurr nin kutocin nanyan nzirge.
And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Na ileu ibatina nani, I taa uzirge fau na iwa kalza ualkame I tusu nanya kurawe.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain into the sea.
39 Na kitin shant, na iyino ugauwe tutung ba. Iyene nlon likoot nin ficicin nanya kurawe icizina ukpilzu sa idi ceu uzirge kikane.
And when it was day, they did not know the land; but they observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run the ship.
40 Bara nani ibunku tii nzerge isuna unin nanya kurawe. I kuru ibunku tii nbune isuna ufunu din koo unin bara nani inyaa udu ficicine.
And cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea, and at the same time unfastening the rudder-bands, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made toward the beach.
41 Ida kan kiti na inuu myeine nzuruku uzirge nin cuun udu kutiin. Lican zirge yisina kikane na uwa sa ucina tutung ba bara nani uzirge cizina uputuzu nara tinana nayin kabarkin myeine.
And falling into a place having the sea on both sides, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was breaking to pieces with the violence [[of the waves]].
42 Ukpilzu na soje wadi imolso acine vat bara umong mine wa su iyiu nanyan myeine acoo.
And on the part of the soldiers there was a plan to kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape.
43 Udya mine wadi nin si a tucu Bulus ku, bara nani ayira ukpilzu mine; anin woro ule na awasa akafina kurawe adeu nanyan myeine adi yisin kutiine.
But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and ordered those who could swim to cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land,
44 Kagisin na nite nin dofino, among kitene ku ca, among kitene nimon nanyan nzirge. Nlo libauwe tina se vat bite kaffin kurawe acine.
and the rest, some on boards, and others on something from the ship. And in this way it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
