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.
When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners under the charge of a centurion named Julius of the Imperial Regiment.
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.
We boarded a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail along the coast of Asia. So we went to sea. Aristarchus from Thessalonica in Macedonia went 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.
The next day we landed at the city of Sidon, where Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to 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.
From there we went to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus, close to the island, because the winds were against us.
5 Na ti wa din nanyan myeine kupoon Kilikiya nin Bamfiliya, ti da Umira, kagbirin Lisiya.
Then we had sailed across the sea and were near the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Kikane ku soje se uzirgi unuzun Iskandariya na uwa cinu udu Italiya. A taa nari nanye.
There, the centurion found a ship from Alexandria that was going to sail to Italy. He put us in 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.
When we had sailed slowly for many days and had finally arrived with difficulty near Cnidus, the wind no longer allowed us to go that way, so we sailed along the sheltered side of Crete, opposite 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.
We sailed along the coast with difficulty, until we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, which is near the city of 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,
We had now taken much time, the time of the Jewish fast also had passed, and it had now become dangerous to sail. So Paul warned 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.”
and said, “Men, I see that the voyage we are about to take will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo 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 paid more attention to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things that were 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.
Because the harbor was not easy to spend the winter in, most of the sailors advised to sail from there, if by any means we could reach the city of Phoenix, to spend the winter there. Phoenix is a harbor in Crete, and it faces northeast and southeast.
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.
When the south wind began to blow gently, the sailors thought that they had what they needed. So they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.
14 Na I dandauna ba ufunu udya, naidin sun nnin ufunu kusarin nu cun nwui cizina ufoo nari.
But after a short time a wind of hurricane force, called the northeaster, began to beat down from the island.
15 Na uzirge nkpiliya kidowo tutung na uwasa uyenje kusarin fune ba, ti cino unin nanye udin cinu nin narik.
When the ship was caught by the storm and could no longer head into the wind, we had to give way to the storm and were driven along by the wind.
16 Ti cun ligowe kusari lidan nanya kuli libene lo na idin yicu ukauda, nin neu udya ti wa se ka zirge kabenen nlai.
We sailed along the lee of a small island called Cauda, and with difficulty we were able to secure the lifeboat.
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.
When they had hoisted the lifeboat up, they used its ropes to bind the hull of the ship. They were afraid that they should run upon the sandbars of Syrtis, so they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
18 Ti wa dira kang nin fune ukurtunung nkui ye anang katwa nzirge nutuzuno imoone ifilzino nanya myeine.
We took such a violent battering by the storm that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard.
19 Liri lin tate anan latwa nzirge nin nacara mene filizino imoone.
On the third day the sailors threw overboard the ship's equipment with their own hands.
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.
When the sun and stars did not shine on us for many days, and the great storm still beat upon us, any more hope that we should be saved was abandoned.
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.
When they had gone long without food, then Paul stood up among the sailors and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, so as to get 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.
Now I urge you to take courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the loss 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 last night an angel of the God to whom I belong, whom also I worship—his angel stood beside me
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.'
and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar, and see, God in his kindness has given to you all those who are sailing with you.'
25 Bara nani, anit, tan kibinai likara bara na inyinna nin Kutelle, au ima so nafo na iwa bellin.
Therefore be cheerful, men! For I trust God that it will happen just as it was told to me.
26 Bara nani tima nyanju kitune nadan nanya kurawa kudya.”
But we must run aground 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.
When the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven this way and that in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors thought that they were approaching some land.
28 Idumna nmyeine ise abunu likure nin naba, na I dandauna ba ikuru idumna ise abunu likure nin nitaun.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms; after a little while, they took more soundings and found fifteen fathoms.
29 I lanza fiu au ima diu kitene natala ituu ucinko unas ligang nzirge inin son ncaa uwui nuzu.
They were afraid that we might crash on the rocks, so they lowered four anchors from the stern and prayed that morning would come soon.
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.
The sailors were looking for a way to abandon the ship and had lowered the lifeboat into the sea, and pretended that they would throw down the anchors from the bow.
31 Bulus woro indya na soje nin nasoje, “Andi na unit alele nso nanyan nzirge ba nati ma ti ulai ba.”
But Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 A soje nin werzine tii nzirge isuna unin unyaa.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it drift away.
33 Na nkanang ncizina udasu, Bulus risa nani ili imonli, a woro, “Kitimone liri lin likure nin na nasari ulele na ileu imonli ba.
When daylight was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food. He said, “This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and do not eat; you have eaten nothing.
34 Bara nani indin putu minu nacara ipiziru imonli ili, bara inan se ulai; na liti lirum tete mene ma wulu ba.”
So I urge you to share some food, for this is necessary for you to survive. For not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”
35 Na abenle nani, ayira uburodi ataa nlira ku niyizi mine vat; anin puco unin acizina ule.
When he had said this, he took bread and he thanked God in the sight of everyone. Then he broke the bread and began to eat.
36 Inung nin se likara nibinai, inung ulang cizina ule.
Then they were all encouraged and they also took food.
37 Ti wa di akolt aba nin nakut kuzurr nin kutocin nanyan nzirge.
We were 276 people in the ship.
38 Na ileu ibatina nani, I taa uzirge fau na iwa kalza ualkame I tusu nanya kurawe.
When they had eaten enough, they made the ship lighter by throwing out the wheat 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.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a beach, and they discussed whether they could drive the ship onto it.
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.
So they cut loose the anchors and left them in the sea. At the same time they loosed the ropes of the rudders and raised the foresail to the wind; and so they headed to 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.
But they came to a place where two currents met, and the ship ran into the ground. The bow of the ship stuck there and remained unmovable, but the stern began to break up because of the waves' violence.
42 Ukpilzu na soje wadi imolso acine vat bara umong mine wa su iyiu nanyan myeine acoo.
The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners so that none of them could swim away 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 wanted to save Paul, so he stopped their plan; and he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first 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.
Then the rest of the men should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. In this way it happened that all of us came safely to land.
