< 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.
Basa ma, hofernor Festus naꞌetuꞌ fo haitua Paulus nisiꞌ mane monaeꞌ Keser sia Roma, fo naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea na sia naa. Ana fee Paulus, no atahori bui feaꞌ ra, risiꞌ malangga soldꞌadꞌu esa, naran Yulius, fo ro se risiꞌ nusaꞌ Italia. Yulius ia, malangga monaeꞌ esa mia soldꞌadꞌu mana manea kaiser.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, au (Lukas) tungga o Paulus. Ma toronooꞌ esa fai, nara na Aristarkus, o tungga boe. Eni, atahori Makedonia mia kota Tesalonika. Basa hai sae ofaꞌ esa mana nema mia kota Adrimitium. Rafadꞌe rae, ofaꞌ ia neu tuli mamanaꞌ naeꞌ sia nusaꞌ Asia.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Boe ma, hai lao hela Kaisarea. Mbilaꞌ neu ma, hai losa kota Sidꞌon. Malangga soldꞌadꞌu Yulius tao Paulus no maloleꞌ, ma nafadꞌe e oi, bisa muu seꞌu nonoo mara sia madꞌaꞌ ata. Nae taꞌo naa fo, ara bisa fee Paulus saa-saa fo ana parlu sia tasiꞌ ata.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Basa de, hai hene seluꞌ ofaꞌ, de lao. Te anin mataꞌ a, monae na seli, de ofaꞌ a naeꞌ a nda laliꞌ sa. Ara rauli ofaꞌ, de lao tungga pulu Siprus no rae Siria taladꞌa na, fo ofaꞌ a nenebambiꞌ.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Mia naa, hai lao tungga tasiꞌ sia nusaꞌ Kilikia no Pamfilia mataꞌ. Hai mikindoo misiꞌ kota Mira, sia nusa Likia. Losa naa ma, hai onda lao hela ofaꞌ a.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
Malangga soldꞌadꞌu Yulius sangga ofa feaꞌ mana nae lao mia Mira nisiꞌ Italia neu. Ana hambu ofaꞌ esa, nema mia kota Aleksandria, nae lao Italia neu. De ana denu basa hai, hene ofaꞌ ata mi.
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.
Hai lao fai hira te, ofaꞌ a naeꞌ a nda laliiꞌ sa, huu ani mataꞌ a, monaen seli. Hai lao no sususa maeꞌ a losa kota Knidus. Te anin feꞌe seli, de hai lao nggero misiꞌ a pulu Kreta, fo nenebambiꞌ mia anin a. Basa de, hai tungga tonggoꞌ esa, nara na Salmone.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Hai lao no sususaꞌ tungga tonggoꞌ naa, tunggaꞌ a pulu Kreta tasi suu na. Dei de, hai feꞌe losa mamanaꞌ esa, nara na Namo Maloleꞌ. Mamanaꞌ naa, deka no kota Lasea.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
Atahori ofaꞌ ra hahae mbei sia naa, huu hai sae ofaꞌ dooꞌ na seli ena, te nda feꞌe losa Italia sa. Leleꞌ naa, atahori Yahudi ra fai monae na, fo roꞌe rae, Fai Hambu Ambon Mia Sala-Singgoꞌ, seli ena. Sosoa na, fai ree-anin nae losa. Boe ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra ratane rae mae sae ofaꞌ mikindoo, do hokoꞌ. Paulus rena nala ma, ana oi,
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.”
“Toronoo nggare. Au ae olaꞌ mbei. Mete ma hita sae ofaꞌ takandoo, naa, hambu sususaꞌ naeꞌ. Afiꞌ losa ofaꞌ a molo, ma mopo saa-saa ra, ma hita o mate boe.”
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.
Te malangga soldꞌadꞌu a nda nau rena Paulus sa. Ana namahereꞌ a joragan, no tenu ofaꞌ a, huu ara rae lao hela mamanaꞌ naa.
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.
Sia Namo Maloleꞌ naa, ofaꞌ ra nafu nda maloleꞌ sa sia fai rii-ree. Dadꞌi sira naeꞌ nauꞌ a lao mikindoo, misiꞌ kota Feniks. Ara ramahena, mete ma bisa, naa, basa hai leo sia naa, losa fai rii-ree ia basa. Feniks naa, namo maloleꞌ sia pulu Kreta, huu nenebambiꞌ mia ani muri-onas no muri-dis, ma nda hambu ree monaeꞌ sa.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Leleꞌ ani onas koe-koe ma, ara rae neꞌo sira bisa pake anin naa fo lao risiꞌ Feniks. De rafadꞌe rae, “Ia, ani maloleꞌ. Ata lao leo!” Ara botiꞌ naka, ma lea laar, de hai laoꞌ tunggaꞌ a tasi suu na.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
Hai lao nda dooꞌ sa ma, aibꞌoiꞌ ma sanggu anin losa. (Atahori oi, ‘ani timu-dis’). Anin naa fuu ofaꞌ a nendi nisiꞌ tasiꞌ a taladꞌa na. Atahori ofaꞌ ra nda rauli rala ofaꞌ sa, de tunggaꞌ a anin a.
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Hai laa-laa tungga ree ra, losa deka mo pulu anaꞌ esa, nara na Kauda. Leleꞌ naa, jukun na feꞌe nenepaꞌaꞌ sia ofa moko a deaꞌ. De hai lea jukun naa mitaꞌ mamate mara ofaꞌ ata neu.
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.
Jukun a losa ofaꞌ ata ma, ara fefeoꞌ taliꞌ ndule ofaꞌ ao na, fo afiꞌ losa papa nara huꞌa, ma ofaꞌ a molo. Ara o ramatau, afiꞌ losa ree ra mbembesiꞌ ofaꞌ a fo ana hara sia saraꞌae Sirtis sia Afrika. De ara raꞌondaꞌ naka mana doko-doko tasiꞌ ralan, raꞌakukuraꞌ ofaꞌ a lalao na.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Anin monaeꞌ naa, humbu hai ofa ma dii-ona neu. De mbilaꞌ neu ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra nggari sudꞌi a saa ruma tasiꞌ rala reu.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
Fini esa na fai, ani monaeꞌ feꞌe seli. De ara boe ramatau. Naa de, ara nggari seluꞌ sudꞌi a saa ra tasiꞌ rala reu, fo ofaꞌ a namanggafa ofaꞌ a. Ofaꞌ saa-saa nara o, atahori ofaꞌ ra nggari se.
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.
Hatuꞌ-rerelon ani monaeꞌ naa nda naloeꞌ mbei saꞌ boe losa fai hira. Lume-masu namafau, de hai nda mita relo no nduuꞌ sa. Basa hai masaloe, mae neꞌo nda misodꞌa sa ena.
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.
Fai hira ia ra, hai nda mia-minu saa saꞌ boe. De Paulus noꞌe nala basa hai, de ana olaꞌ oi, “Toronoo nggaree! Sobꞌa hei tungga oꞌola ngga fo afiꞌ lao hela Namo Maloleꞌ a, naa, hita nda hambu susa basa ia sa, ma nda runggi saa saꞌ boe.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Te ia naa, au oꞌe basa hei fo miꞌimamateꞌ rala mara. Dei fo hita ofa na ia nambalutu. Te afiꞌ mimitau, huu atahori esa o, nda mate saꞌ boe.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Naa fo basa hei bubꞌuluꞌ au ia, Lamatualain atahori Na, ma au hambu ue-tataos mia E. Tembaꞌ a, Ana denu ate Na esa mia sorga, nambariiꞌ mia bobꞌoa ngga. Ana nafadꞌe au nae,
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
‘Paulus! Afiꞌ mumutau saaꞌ boe. Dei fo musi muu mundaa mo mane monaeꞌ sia Roma fo ana nggero dedꞌea ma. Lamatualain rala malole Na neu nggo, naa de Ana tao nasodꞌa basa atahori mana sia ofaꞌ ata ia ra.’
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Dadꞌi toronoo nggare. Hei afiꞌ masaloe. Au umehere tebꞌe saa fo Lamatualain nafadꞌe au tembaꞌ a, dei fo dadꞌi taꞌo naa.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
Te dei fo ofaꞌ ia laa-laa nisiꞌ pulu esa.”
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.
Leleꞌ naa, ree-anin poꞌa naꞌamiminaꞌ ofaꞌ a, de hai laa-laa fai sanahulu haa ena mia tasi Adria. Te mbei ma fai banggi rua na ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra medꞌa na hai deka mo madꞌaꞌ ata ena.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Ara dou oeꞌ a rae rahine oeꞌ a roroma na. Ara uku ma, ree rua nulu. Ofaꞌ a mata neu mbei ma, ara dou seluꞌ oeꞌ a, de hambu oeꞌ a roroma na, ree sana hulu lima.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Basa se ramatau, afiꞌ losa ofaꞌ a hara neu fatu mbiaꞌ. Dadꞌi raꞌondaꞌ naka deaꞌ ra haaꞌ se. Ma basa hai hule-huleꞌ, fo manggarelo lai-lai.
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,
Te atahori ofaꞌ ra rala ralaꞌ sa, fo rae rela hela ofaꞌ a nenee. De raꞌondaꞌ jukun, tao onaꞌ rae raꞌondaꞌ naka mataꞌ ra.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
Te Paulus nafadꞌe dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakaꞌ nara neu malangga soldꞌadꞌu no soldꞌadꞌu nara nae, “Mete ma atahori ofaꞌ ra nda rahani ofaꞌ ata sa, naa mate basa hei.”
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Ara rena Paulus olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, soldꞌadꞌu ra edi-etu jukun tali na, de hela e laa-laa. De atahori ofaꞌ ra nda rela rala sa.
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.
Reorendu ma, Paulus kokoe basa atahori ra fo raa-rinu. Ana oi, “Nggarei rua ia, hita endoꞌ a, ma hule-huleꞌ a, no nda taa-tinu saa saꞌ boe.
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.”
Dadꞌi au oꞌe fo ata taa-tinu mbei dei, naa fo ata maꞌadere baliꞌ. Au umuhere ae, hita esa nda mate saꞌ boe. Basa hita tasodꞌaꞌ.”
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.
Paulus olaꞌ basa ma, ana haꞌi roti, ma hule-oꞌe mbali Lamatualain sia basa se mata nara. Basa ma, ana haꞌi nala potoꞌ esa, de naa.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Ara rita taꞌo naa ma, rala nara manggatee baliꞌ, ma ara tungga raa boe. Basa hai mana sia ofaꞌ ata, atahori natun rua hitu nulu nee. Basa hai mia.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Hai mia miꞌibeta ma, ara nggari hendi karon are-gandum tasiꞌ rala neu, fo ramanggafa seluꞌ ofaꞌ fai.
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.
Manggarelo ma, atahori ofaꞌ ra rita madꞌa ata. Te ara nda ritaꞌ rae, naa, pulu bee saꞌ boe. Ara rita retaan esa, de ramahena rae, mete ma bisa, rendi ofaꞌ tungga fatu mbiaꞌ ra sia tasiꞌ naa, fo risiꞌ retaan naa.
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.
De ara edi-etu tali naka ra sia tasi, ma raꞌondaꞌ uli a, fo neuli ofaꞌ a. Ara lea laa anaꞌ mana sia mataꞌ, fo anin nendi ofaꞌ a retaan neu.
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.
Te ofaꞌ a sara dai mbuku saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasiꞌ a rala, de hara sia naa, nda naꞌaundaꞌ saa. Boe ma, ree monaeꞌ a popoꞌa nambalutu ofaꞌ a deaꞌ.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Soldꞌadꞌu ra rita taꞌo naa ma, ara rae tao risa atahori bui ra. Ara ramatau, afiꞌ losa atahori bui ra, nane madꞌaꞌ ata reu, fo rela.
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;
Te malangga soldꞌadꞌu Yulius ai soldꞌadꞌu nara, huu ana nae fee Paulus nasodꞌa. De ana parenda, basa atahori mana nane rahineꞌ ra, nane madꞌaꞌ ata reu.
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.
Ma ana denu atahori nda mana nane ralaꞌ ra sa, toꞌu papaꞌ do sudꞌi a saa, fo tungga ree ra madꞌaꞌ ata reu. No taꞌo naa, basa hai losa madꞌaꞌ ata no masodꞌaꞌ.
