Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto [one] named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
Pawaamuwiti kala twendereyiti na mwanja mpaka Italiya, wamtuliti Paulu pamwera na watatirwa wanonga pasi pa ulolera wa Yuliu yakaweriti mkulu gwa mashonta pakati shipinga yawashishema “shipinga sha Augustu.”
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Tukweniti meli ya Adiramitu iweriti yangugenda na kupitira bandali zimu za mkowa gwa Asiya, tuyanja mwanja. Alisitariku, mwenikaya gwa Makedoniya kulawa Tesaloniki, kaweriti pamwera natwenga.
3 And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
Shirawu yakuwi tusulusiyi nanga pakati pa bandali ya sidoni. Yuliu kamtendiriti Paulu viheri kwa kumluusu kawawoni waganja wakuwi na kumpanana nfiru zyakuwi.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Kulawa aku twendereyiti na mwanja, kumbiti kuweriti na lihega liweriti lyankuvuma kwa kanongola nentu kutuyizira kwa ulongolu, tupitiliti uwega wa shisiwa sha kupiru kweni lihega liweriti livuwa ndiri.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
Shakapanu tulokiti bahali ya kilikiya na Pamfiliya, tusulusiiti nanga Mura, lushi lya Lukiya.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
Panu afisa ulii kawoniti meli yimu ya Alekizandiriya yaiweriti yankugenda Italiya, na hangu katukweniziya twingira mngati mwakuwi.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
Tugenditi mpolimpoli kwa mashaka gavuwa na kwa ntabiku tusokiti pakwegera na Kenidu. Toziya lihega liweriti lyankali lyankutukoma, tupitira uwega wa kushana kushisiwa sha Kireti, kugenda Salumoni.
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea.
Tupititi pambeku yakuwi mpolimpoli kwa ntabika tuyingiriti pahali pawapashema “Bandali nyanyi,” pakwegera na lushi lwa Laseya.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them],
Shipindi shivuwa shipititi, na hata mashaka ga kulikala pota kuliya gaweriti gaperiti kala. Vinu iweriti atali nentu kugenda na meli. Su, Paulu kawayupiti moyu,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
“Watuwa, nulihola handa mwanja agu haguweri gwa ntabiku na kwa asala ivuwa kwa memiziwu ya meli hera, ila viraa kwa makaliru getu.”
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
Kumbiti afisa ulii kakwegitwi nentu na maholu ga nahoza na ga mweni kana meli kuliku galii gakatakuliti Paulu.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
Toziya bandali ayi iweriti ndiri pahala paherepa pa kulivaga shipindi sha mbepu, wavuwa wafiriti kwendeleya na mwanja, payiwezekana mpaka Foiniki. Foiniki ndo bandali ya Kireti yaigenda kushana na kwaguzyeta mshenji na kusika na kwaguzyeta mshenji, na aku mewawezi kulivaga shipindi sha mbepu.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete.
Su, lihega lyanyanyi lya kusi lyanjiti kuvuma, nawomberi washeriti wapata lengu lyawu. Hangu wawusiya nanga, wendesha meli pakwegera nentu na mpeku ya Kireti.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
Kumbiti katepu hera, lihega likalipa lishemwa “Lihega lya kusika” liyanja kuvuma kulawa kushisiwa.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive.
Lihega liikomiti meli ilii, na toziya tusinditi kulidiwira, tuyileka ijegwijegwi na lihega ali.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Litanda limu lyalishemwa Kauda litupingira shididini kwa liyega lilii, na patupititi kusika mwakuwi tufauliti, iweriti kwa tabu, kusalimisha mtumbwi gwa meli.
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
Wanamashi walii wagunikiti mtumbwi mngati, shakapanu wayizyengetiziya meli ngoyi na kuitawa kwa likakala. Watiriti kuwera mewawezi kugomuluwa pambeku pa Siriti. Hangu wasulusiyiti matanga na kuyileka meli ijegwijegwi na lihega.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next [day] they lightened the ship;
Lipuga lyendereyiti kuvuma na shirawu yakuwi wayanja kuyasa kunja shehena ya meli.
19 And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
Lishaka lya tatu, wayanja viraa kuyasa mmashi vintu vya meli kwa mawoku gawu weni.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
Kwa shipindi sha mashaka gatangala tuweza ndiri kuwona mshenji ama ntondi, lipuga lyendereyiti kuvuma nentu, ata litumbiru lyoseri lya kuponeka litupera.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Pa kulivaga shipindi shitali pota kuliya shiboga, Paulu kagolokiti pakati pawu, katakula, “Waheshimiwa, meyiweriti mbaka handa mungampikiniriti na kuleka mwanja kulawa Kireti handa mngatenditi hangu metushapili tabu ayi na asala zoseri azi.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of [any man’s] life among you, but of the ship.
Kumbiti vinu nankuwaluweni muweri na moyu, kwahera hata yumu gwenu mekahowiziyi ukomu wakuwi, meli hera ndo haiyagamili.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Toziya lishu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa ulii Mlungu mweni neni ndo gwakuwi na yomberi neni numguwira kandawiliti,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
kang'ambira, ‘Paulu, kotukutira! Mpaka hagugoloki pawulongolu pa Kaisari, na Mlungu, kwa lusungu lyakuwi kakutangi kwa kuwalopoziya woseri wawagenda mwanja na gwenga.’
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Hangu, wahishimiwa, mulipanani moyu! Toziya numjimira Mlungu kuweri hayiweri teratera ntambu yawang'ambiriti.
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
Kumbiti ndo mpaka hatuyaswi kumpeku kushisiwa tunga.”
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
Pashiru pa lishaka lya lilongu na msheshi tuweriti twankukwegwa aku na aku mubahali ya Adria. Pakwegera na pashiru nentu, washima mitumbwi waliholiti kuwera wapakwegera na isi iyuma.
28 And sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found [it] fifteen fathoms.
Hangu wasakuliti utali wa bahari kwa kusulusiya lugoyi lwawatawiti shintu shitopa, wapata utali wa mita malongu msheshi. Shakapanu wapima kayi wapata mita malongu matatu.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Toziya ya kutila kugomuluwa mumatalawu, wasulusiyiti nanga msheshi kumpeli kumeli, waluwa kushii kanongola.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
Wanamashi wafiriti kushapira, na wasulusiyiti kala mtumbwi mmashi, walipayira handa wagenda kusulusiya nanga uwega wa kulongolu kwa meli.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Kumbiti Paulu kamgambiriti mkulu gwa jeshi ulii na wanjagila wakuwi, “Handa wanamashi awa hapeni wasigali mngati mwa mtumbwi, hapeni mlopoziwi.”
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Panu wanjagila walii wazidumuliti ngoyi zyaziweriti zikolera mtumbwi, waguleka gutolwi na mashi.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought [them] all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
Pakwegera na mandawira, Paulu kawahimiziyiti woseri walii shiboga “Kwa mashaka lilongu na msheshi vinu muwera mumashashatiku na pota kuliya, hamweni lii shintu shoseri.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take [some] meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Su, nuwaluwa mlii shiboga toziya mshifira su muwezi kwendeleya kulikala. Toziya ata viri yimu mumituwi yenu hapeni yagamiri”
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken [it], he began to eat.
Pakatakulita kala hangu, Paulu katoliti libumunda, kalonga maya ga shi Mlungu pamberi pa woseri, kaumega, kanja kuliya.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took [some] meat.
Panu woseri wapata moyu, na womberi vila waliya shiboga.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Woseri waweriti wantu mia mbili na malongu saba na sita mumeli.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Pa kila yumu kuliya shiboga sha kwikuta, wapunguliti kutopa kwa meli kwa kuyasa viboga mubahari.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Pawushiiti, wanamashi wawezandiri kuyimana isi ilii. Ira wawoniti guba yimu yana mpeku, Waamuwa kusulusiya nanga aku handa payiwezikana.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed [themselves] unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
Hangu wazidumuliti nanga na kuzileka mubahari, na shipindi shiraa ashi waziyopola ngoyi zaziweriti ziguyopa msukanu, shakapanu wagolosiya tanga yimu palongolu kukola lihega, wagenditi kumpeku.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
Kumbiti wasokiti pahali pena mikondu miwili ya bahari iliwona, na meli igomuluwa. Seemu ya palongolu iweriti imiruwa mumhanga pota kutikinyika. Seemu ya kumbeli ya meli iyanjiti kumegeka vipandi vipandi kwa makomangu ga likakala lya makupala.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Wanjagira wafiriti kuwalaga watatirwa woseri kwa kutira handa wankusuga mpaka kumbeku na kutoloka.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast [themselves] first [into the sea], and get to land:
Kumbiti toziya afisa jeshi ulii kafiriti kumlopoziya Paulu, kawaberiti nawatenda hangu. Kaamuliti walii yawamana kusuga wakopoki kulawa mumeli na kusuga mpaka kumpeku.
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
Na wamonga wayizi pawalikolilera mumbawu ama muvipandi vya meli vyavimegikiti. Ndo twenga ntambu yatusokiti nyanyi kumpeku.
