Acts 27
1 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.
Ary rehefa voadidy hiondrana an-tsambo hiala hankany Italia izahay, Paoly sy ny mpifatotra sasany dia natolotra tamin’ ny kapiteny atao hoe Jolio, tamin’ ny antokon’ i Aogosto.
2 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.
Ary rehefa nirotsaka an-tsambo avy any Adramytena izay efa handeha hitety ny sisin-tanin’ i Asia izahay, dia lasa nandeha; ary niaraka taminay Aristarko Makedoniana avy any Tesalonika.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Ary nony ampitso dia tonga tany Sidona izahay. Ary tsara ny nitondran’ i Jolio an’ i Paoly, fa navelany hankany amin’ ny sakaizany izay hiahy azy izy.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Ary nony niala teo izahay, dia nanara-morona an’ i Kyprosy nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra, satria nanohitra ny rivotra.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Ary rehefa namaky ny ranomasina tany Kilikia sy Pamfilia izahay, dia tonga tany Myra any Lykia.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Ary tao no nahitan’ ny kapiteny sambon’ Aleksandria hankany Italia, dia nasainy niondrana teo aminy izahay.
7 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.
Ary rehefa nandeha niadana andro maromaro izahay ka saiky tsy tonga tandrifin’ i Kinido, satria nisakana anay ny rivotra, dia takon-drivotra tandrifin’ i Salmona izahay;
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
ary nony sahirana nanara-morona izahay, dia tonga teo amin’ ny tany anankiray atao hoe Tsara-fitodian-tsambo; akaikin’ izany ny tanàna Lasea.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
Ary rehefa lany ny andro maro, sady sarotra ny fandehanan-tsambo tamin’ izany, satria efa afaka ny Andro Fifadiana, dia nananatra azy Paoly
10 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.”
ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, hitako fa izao fandehanana izao dia hisy fahasimbana sy fatiantoka be ihany, ka tsy amin’ ny entana sy ny sambo ihany, fa ny aintsika koa aza.
11 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.
Kanefa ny kapiteny nino ny mpitondra sy ny tompon-tsambo, fa tsy ny teny nolazain’ i Paoly.
12 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.
Ary satria ny fitodian-tsambo teo dia tsy tsara hitoerana amin’ ny ririnina, dia nataon’ ny maro fa tsara raha miala, fandrao mba ho tonga any Foiniksa ahay handany ny ririnina any; fitodian-tsambo any Kreta izany ka manatrika mianatsimo-andrefana sy mianavaratra-andrefana.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Ary raha nitsoka malemy ny rivotra avy any atsimo, ka nataony fa efa nahazo izay niriny izy, dia niala teo izy ka nandalo akaikikaikin’ i Kreta.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
Ary tsy ela rehefa afaka izany, dia nifofofofo nidina avy teo ny tafio-drivotra mahery atao hoe Eorakylona.
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
Ary raha nopaohin’ ny rivotra ny sambo ka tsy nahatoha azy, dia navelanay haveziveziny izy.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Ary raha nandeha faingana nanara-morona ny nosy atao hoe Kaoda nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra izahay, dia saiky tsy nahazo ny salopy;
17 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.
ary rehefa nakarina izany, dia novahorany manodidina ny sambo; ary natahotra izy, fandrao hihatra any amin’ ilay fasika mandrevo, dia nampidina ny lay, ka navelany handeha ho azy ny sambo.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Ary raha nasian’ ny rivotra mafy izahay, dia nanariany ny entana nony ampitso;
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
ary nony ampitso’ io indray dia narian’ ny tànany ihany ny fanaka teo amin’ ny sambo;
20 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.
fa rehefa tsy hita ny masoandro na ny kintana hatramin’ ny andro maro, ary tsy kely ny rivotra izay namely, dia tsy nanantena ho voavonjy intsony izahay.
21 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.
Ary rehefa tsy nihinan-kanina ela izy ireo, Paoly dia nitsangana teo afovoany ka nanao hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, tsara raha ho nihaino ahy ianareo ka tsy niala tany Kreta, mba tsy ho nahitana izao fahasimbana sy fatiantoka izao.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Ary ankehitriny mananatra anareo aho mba hatoky; fa tsy hisy ho faty ianareo, fa ny sambo ihany no ho very.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Fa nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra, Izay Tompoko sady tompoiko, nitsangana teo anilako halina
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra, ry Paoly; fa tsy maintsy hitsangana eo anatrehan’ i Kaisara ianao; ary, indro, efa nomen’ Andriamanitra anao ny olona rehetra izay miaraka aminao.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Koa matokia, ry tompokolahy ô, fa mino an’ Andriamanitra aho fa ho tonga araka ny voalazany tamiko izany.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
Nefa tsy maintsy fefika ihany eo amin’ ny nosy anankiray isika.
27 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.
Ary tamin’ ny alina fahefatra ambin’ ny folo, raha navezimbezina tany Adria izahay, nony namatonalina dia nataon’ ny matilo fa efa manakaiky tany izy;
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
dia nanaka-drano izy ka hitany fa faharoa-polo refy; ary nony nandrosoroso kokoa izy, dia nanaka-drano indray ka hitany fa fahadimy ambin’ ny folo refy.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Dia natahotra izahay, fandrao hidona amin’ ny harambato, ka dia nandatsaka vatofantsika efatra teo am-bodisambo ary naniry ny andro ho maraina.
30 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,
Fa raha nitady handositra hiala tamin’ ny sambo ny matilo ka efa nampidina ny salopy teo amin’ ny ranomasina izy, nody handatsaka vatofantsika eo an-doha-sambo,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
dia hoy Paoly tamin’ ny kapiteny sy ny miaramila: Raha tsy mitoetra eto an-tsambo ireo, dia tsy azo vonjena ianareo.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Dia notapahin’ ny miaramila ny mahazaka rehetra tamin’ ny salopy, ka navelany ho latsaka.
33 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.
Ary raha mbola tsy nazava ny andro, dia niangavy tamin’ ny olona rehetra Paoly mba hihinan-kanina ka nanao hoe: Anio no fahefatra ambin’ ny folo andro niandrasanareo, sady nahari-noana ianareo ka tsy nihinana.
34 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.”
Koa mananatra anareo aho hihinan-kanina, fa izany no isan’ ny hamonjena anareo; ary tsy hisy ho very aminareo rehetra na dia singam-bolo iray akory aza.
35 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.
Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy sady nandray mofo, dia nisaotra an’ Andriamanitra teo anatrehan’ ny olona rehetra; ary rehefa novakiny, dia nihinana izy.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Dia nahazo toky izy rehetra ka nihinana koa.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Ary izahay rehetra teo anaty sambo dia olona enina amby fito-polo amby roan-jato.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Ary rehefa voky izy, dia nanariany ho any anaty ranomasina ny hanina mba hanamaivana ny sambo.
39 When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
Ary rehefa nazava ny andro, dia tsy nahalala ny tany izy, fa nahita helodrano anankiray tsara morona, ka teo no nokasainy hampidonana ny sambo, raha azony atao.
40 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.
Ary rehefa nesoriny avokoa ny vatofantsika, dia navelany ho any an-dranomasina, ary novahany koa ny kofehin’ ny familian-tsambo dia namelatra ny lay anoloana izy ho azon’ ny rivotra ka nanatona ny tany.
41 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.
Ary raha tonga tamin’ izay nisy fihaonan-dranomasina izy, dia navelany hidona tamin’ ny tany ny sambo; ary ny loha-sambo nihizina ka nitoetra tsy nihetsika, fa ny vodi-sambo kosa dia vakivaky azon’ ny herin’ ny onja.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Ary ny miaramila nanao tetika hamono ny mpifatotra, fandrao hisy hilomano ireo ka ho afaka.
43 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;
Fa ny kapiteny ta-hamonjy an’ i Paoly, dia nisakana azy tsy hanao izay nokasainy; fa izay nahay nilomano no nasainy hirotsaka aloha ka hilomano ho any amin’ ny tany,
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
ary ny sisa dia samy hanao izay hahafaka azy, na amin’ ny hazo fisaka, na amin’ ny zavatra avy amin’ ny sambo. Dia tonga soa aman-tsara teny an-tanety avokoa izy rehetra.
