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.
Pevamali kuvika mpangu wa lugendu lwa tete kuhamba Italia, Pauli pamonga na vafungwa vangi vagotoliwi pahi pa ulonda wa Juliasi mweavi Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli pagati ya chikundi chechikemelewa “Chikundi cha Augusti.”
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.
Tayingili muwatu wewahuma ku Adilamito wewavedukila mumbwani ya miji ya Asia. Kangi tawukili pamonga na mkolonjinji wa Makedonia kuhuma Tesalonike liina laki Alistako.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Chilau yaki tahikili kumbwani ya Sidoni. Juliasi amhengili lipyana Pauli kwa kumyidakila avalola vankozi vaki na kupata vindu vyaaganili.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Kuhuma kwenuko, tagendili mumhana mwa chisiwa cha Kuplo ndava ya kuyepa mpungu wewabuma kuhuma kulongolo yitu.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Kangi takupwiki nyanja ya upandi wa Kilikia na Pamfulia, tahikili Mula muji wa Lukia.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Penapo Mkulu wa msambi yula, aukolili watu wewihuma ku Alekisandalia na kuhamba ku Italia, ndi akatiyingisa mugati.
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.
Tagendili mbolimboli mulukumbi lwa magono gamahele cha kutyalatyala neju tahikili papipi na muji wa Nido. Ndava ya mpungu wewatikang'ayi kuhuma kulongolo ndi tikahamba lumonga upandi wa Kilete kuhamba pandu pa yeyikemiwa Salimone.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Tapitili mumhana ya mbwani kwa kutyalatyala na kuhika pandu pepikemelewa “Bandali ya Bwina,” Papipi na muji wa Lasea.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
Lukumbi lwamahele lwamali kupita, hati magono ga kujihinisa chakulya gamaliki. Hinu vayogwipi neju lugendu lwa muwatu. Pauli akavajovela malovi aga.
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.”
“Mwavagosi, nihololela kuvya lugendu lwitu yati wivya na mang'ahiso na kuyagisa lepi ndava ya ndwika na watu ndu, nambu mewa na wumi witu.”
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.
Nambu Mkulu wa manjolinjoli yula akasadika neju malovi ga mgendesa watu na ga mkolo watu, kuliku malovi ga Pauli.
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.
Hinu ndava bandali yeniyo yavi lepi nafwasi ya bwina kutama lukumbi lwa mbepu. Ndi vamahele pagati yavi vayidakilini kuwuka penapo na kuhamba mbaka Foinike ngati yihotoleka na kutama kwenuko mkulukumbi lwa mbepu. Bandali ya Kilete yeyihamba kwelihumila lilanga na kusini kwelitipama lilanga.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Hinu, mpungu wa bwina pawatumbwili kubuma, vene vakahololela kuvya mpangu wavi wihotoleka, hinu vakahuta nanga vakatumbula lugendu kuni vigendesa watu papipi na mbwani ya Kilete.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
Kwakona vangahika patali, mpungu ukali weukemiwa “Mpungu Eulokilo.” Watumbwili kubuma kuhuma muchisiwa.
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
Mpungu waukang'ili watu, wene wahotwili lepi kukangamala nawu, ndi taulekili mpungu uyikang'ayi.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Na petapitayi pachisiwa chidebe chechikemiwa Kauda, tatyalityali nambu tahotwili kuukunga mtumbwi wa watu.
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.
Vanalihengu va muwatu pevamali kuyigisa mtumbwi wula mugati, ndi vakaukunga nyosi kwa makakala. Vayogwipi kukwama pa lilundu la masavati ga papipi na mbwani ya ku Libya, vakahelesa nyosi na kuleka watu wikang'iswa na mpungu.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Mpungu na manji gatimbungini na pachilau yaki, vakatumbula kutaga ndwika munyanja.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
Na ligono la datu vakatumbula kutaga vindu vya watu kwa mawoko gavi vene.
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.
Mu magono gamahele valiwene lepi lilanga amala ndondo, mpungu na manji vyayendalili kutimbugana neju, kuhuvalila kwa kusanguka gavamaliki.
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.
Pavatamili magono gamahele changalya, Pauli akayima pagati yavi akajova, “Vamtopeswa, mbanga kuvya muniyuwanili malovi gangu ga kuleka kuwuka Kilete, ngatiyepili mang'ahiso ago pamonga na kuyagisa vindu ivi.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Nambu hinu nivayupa mjikangamalisa mtima, muni kawaka hati mundu mmonga mweiyagisa wumi waki, nambu watu wene ndi wewiyaga.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Ndava muni golo kilu Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, kuhuma kwa Chapanga mwenikumuhengela, anihumalili,
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
akanijovela, ‘Pauli, kotoka kuyogopa! Yikukugana kuyima palongolo ya Nkosi wa ku Loma, Chapanga mwene yimganisi, ndi kwa ubwina waki akuvasangula wumi wa voha mulugendu lwinu.’
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Hinu vamtopeswa, mjikamngamalisa mtima ndava muni nikumsadika Chapanga kuvya givya mewawa ngati chenijoviwi.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
Nambu yikutigana kutagwa kundumba ya chisiwa chimonga.”
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.
Ligono la kumi na mcheche kilu manji pagatumbwili kutimbugana tikanga'iswa kuni na kula munyanja ya Adilia. Pagati ya kilu vanalihengu muwatu vaholalili kuvya papipi na pandumba.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Vakalonda utali wa pahi wa nyanja kwa kuhelesa nyosi yeyakungiwi chindu chechitopa, vapatili utali wa mita alobaini. Na pavapimili kavili mwanakandahi vapatili utali wa mita selasini.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Ndava ya kuyogopa kukwama mumatalau ndi vakahelesa nanga mcheche za upandi mumbele mwa watu, vakamuyupa Chapanga kwicha kanyata.
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,
Vanalihengu va muwatu, vaganili kutila ndi vamali kuhelesa mtumbwi wavi mumanji, vakongayi kuvya vihamba kulongolo kuhelesa nanga za muwatu.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
Nambu Pauli amjovili Mkulu wa msambi yula pamonga na manjolinjoli vangi, “Vanalihengu ava ngati vitama lepi mugati ya watu, yati mwisanguliwa lepi.”
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Penapo ndi manjolinjoli vala vakadumula nyosi zezakamwili mtumbwi wula, vakauleka uhamba na manji.
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.
Papipi na hamba kucha, Pauli akavayupa voha valyayi chakulya, “Lelu ndi ligono la kumi na mcheche vavili na wogoyi lukumbi lwoha ulo mwangalya chindu.
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.”
Hinu, nikuvayupa mlyayi chakulya muni mukuchigana muhotola kulama, Muni kawaka hati luyunju lumonga wa mitu yinu lweluyaga.”
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.
Peamali kujova malovi ago, Pauli akatola libumunda, akamsengusa Chapanga palongolo yavi voha akametula akatumbula kulya.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Kangi voha vakasindimala mtima, navene mewa vakalya chakulya.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Mugati ya watu wula tavi vandu miya zivili na sabini na sita.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Pevamali kulya na kuyukuta kila mundu, ndi vapungwizi utopa kwa watu, kwa kutaga nganu munyanja.
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.
Kwapachili, vanalihengu vala vaumanyili lepi mulima wula, ndi vayiwene ndumba yeyivi papipi na manji, vakajovesana vayegeka watu kwenuko ngati yihotoleka.
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.
Ndi, vakadumula nanga na kuzileka munyanja, mewa vakahuta nyosi za kugendesela watu, kangi vakatola chitambala chimonga kulongolo kukinga mpungu, vakahamba kundumba.
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.
Nambu vahikili pamngonganu wa manji, na watu wakwamili, upandi wa kulongolo wajwigwimi mumasavati changali kunyugusika. Upandi wa mumbele wa watu watumbwili kudenyekana hipandi hipandi ndava kukang'wa na mpungu ga manji ga kutimbugana.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Manjolinjoli vavi na mpangu wa kuvakoma vafungwa voha ndava ya kuyogopa kuvya vihotola kusambalila mbaka kundumba na kutila.
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;
Nambu Mkulu wa msambi yula aganili kumsangula Pauli, avabesili valeka mpangu wavi. Akalagiza vevimanya kusambalila vahumba kuhuma muwatu na kusambalila mbaka kundumba,
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.
na vevasigalili vajisangula kwa kukamulila mbau amala chipandi cha watu weudenyiki, ndi tavoha tahikili tavamumi kundumba.
