Jesu Tondiba Tuona 27
1 Ban den jagi ki bili ke ti baa kua ku ñinbiagu nni ki gedi Itali diema nni, bi den teni a minteela yudaano ban yi yua Juliyusa n yaa gu Polo leni kadibitoana.
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.
2 Ti den kua ya ñinbiagu n ñani Adamita dogu nni ki baa gedi ya dogu n yi Asi nuganu po. Ti den fii ki caa, ke Akilitaka, Maseduana diema Tesalonika dogu yua yegi leni ti.
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.
3 Lan den yendi, ti den pundi Sidoni ki sedi. Juliyusa den kubi Polo leni mi buama, ki puni o ke o ñani ku ñinbiagu nni, ki gedi ki fuondi o dalinba ki baa mi todima bikani.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Ti den fii lankani ki suagi liiga ki balini Sipila kpendegili kelima u faalu den togidi ti.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Ti den suagi liiga ki poandi mi ñinciama, ki balini Silisi leni Panfili diema, ki sedi Mila dogu nni.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Lankani aminteela yudaano den laa ñinbiatoagu, yaagu n ñani Alisandili dogu nni ki baa gedi Itali, ki kuani ti ku niinni.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Ti den suagi ki cuoni dindini danaba ki nagini Sinida dogu leni fala. U faalu n go den togidi ti ke tii den fidi ki suagi liiga, ti den lebidi ki balini Kileta kpendegili ki teli Salimone po.
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.
8 Ti den suagi liiga leni fala hali ki ban balini ki pundi ya dogu n yi ti ñinbiadi sedikaanhamu yu n ku leni Lase dogu ki sedi.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Ti cenli den waagi hali ke li den ban pundi yaa yogunu ke ku ñinbiagu cenli biagidi kelima mi ñoalolima yogunu den pendi. Lane ke Polo den tuodi ki waani ba.
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 Ki yedi: N sua ke ti ya suagi liiga ku ñinbiagu cenli baa biagi. Laa tie ku ñinbiagu leni kun tugi yaa tuga bebe ka baa bodi, ti miana moko baa ti taani lienni.
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.”
11 Ama a minteela yudaano den dugi ku ñinbiagu gobidikoa leni ku daano po ki cie Polo maama.
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.
12 Kelima ban den ye yaa ñinbiadi sedikaanu yeni naa den dagidi bipo ban ya ye likani hali ku fawaagu. Lane ti siiga yaaba, yaaba n den yaba ki cie den yedi ke li baa hani tin go fiini a cabiciama ki ña likani ki moandi ki la ti yaa baa fidi ki suagi ki pundi Fenikisi dogu ki sedi lankani hali ku fawaagu yogunu n pendi. Fenikisi yeni den tie Kileta ñinbiadi sedikaanu ki tiegi jienu ki goa nintuali po, leni ganu ya nintuali po.
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.
13 Yaa faalu n ñani ganu den figi waamu waamu ke bi tama ke bi baa fidi ki tieni nani ban den jagi maama. Bi den fiini ku ñinbiagu kubikpiagili yaali n sieni gu ki suagi ki balini Kileta kaa foagi leni li jaali.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Ama la den yen waamu puoli faaligu den ñani li kpendegili po ki figi boncianla.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Ku faaligu yeni den taa ku ñinbiagu ke ku naa go fidi ki baa togidi gu. Lane ti den cedi ke ku faaligu taa gu ki gedini kun bua naani.
When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Ti den balini li kpendegili ke li wa ki yi Kiloda ganu po. Nani lin den sieni tipo ku faaligu waamu yeni, ti den fidi ki cuo ki ñinbiabiga, ama leni fala.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Bi den yugidi ga ki kuani ga ki ñinbiabiga nni. Li yaa puoli bi den soali i baabi ku ñinbiagu tiipo ki loli bonhanla. Bi den jie ke u faalu baa tudi ki gedini ti Libi boanjaali ya tanbitinga po. Lane, bi den jiini ku dagbeegu, ki cedi ke u faalu tudi ki gedini ti.
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.
18 Kelima u faalu n go den waani ti fala boncianla maama po, lan den yendi bi den cili ki luni a tugitiama mi ñima nni.
As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Li dantaali daali bani biba den taa ku ñinbiaciangu tuonsoantiadi ki luni mi ñima nni.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Dana boncianla den pendi ke ki yenga leni o hmaalo naa den ñani. Ku faaligu den figi ki bia hali boncianla ke tii go den daani ke ti baa ye leni miali.
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.
21 Li den waagi danaba ke niloba kuli ki den dini. Lani Polo den sedi bi siiga ki yedi ba: Li den baa hani yi yaa den cengi n maama kaa den fii Kileta. Ti kan bi lu ti tuga ki go la yaa fala n tie na.
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.
22 Moala n waani yi ke yin paagi mani yi pala, kelima yi siiga oba kuli kan bodi kali ku ñinbiagu bebe.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life amongst you, but only of the ship.
23 Kelima U Tienu yua n die nni ke n tuuni opo yeni yaa maleki doagidi o yuli npo ku naa ñiagu.
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 Ki yedi nni: Polo han da jie liba. Li tie tiladi han pundi ki sedi Sesa nintuali. U Tienu go hanbi opo ki puni a ke yaaba n ye leni a ku ñinbiagu na niinni kuli siiga, baa yendo kan bodi.
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Lanwani yin paagi mani yi pala, kelima n pia li dandanli U Tienu po ke li baa tua nani wan yedi nni maama.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 De tiladi ti baa tuoni kpendegiliba jaali kani.
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Li piiga n dannaali daali ñiagu, u faalu den pengipengi ti ki caani ganu leni jienu Adiliatika yaa ñincianma po. Ku yasiigu ku ñinbiagu tuonsoanba den tama ke ti nagini tingaba.
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.
28 Bi den luni mi ñincianma bonbiigikaala, ki sua ke mi ñima ñua ki pundi nukpanduna piiyia. Lan pendi waamu, bi gi den biigi ki sua ke mi ñua ki pundi piiluoba n nukpanduna muu.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Bi den jie ke ku ñinbiaciagu baa kpaabi ya tanciama n ye likani mi ñima nni, ke bi taa ya kubikpiaginaada n ye ku juodima ke kun da go cuoni. Lani bi den miadi lan fa, ki gu leni mi yanjegibima
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Ku ñinbiagu tuonsoanba den tieni nani bi baa jiini yaa kubikpiaga n ye ku yuli po yeni, ama bi go den jiini ki ñinbiabiga mi ñima nni ki baa kua ki niinni ki ha ku ñinbiaciangu ki sani ki ciadi.
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,
31 Polo den yedi a minteela yudaano leni a minteela kuli: Bi jaba yeni yaa sedi ku ñinbiagu nni, yi kan ciadi.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Lanwani a minteela den jia ya baabi n doali ki ñinbiabiga leni ku ñinbiaciangu, ki cedi ke ki baa, ke mi ñima taa ga ki gedini.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Lan den bua ki fa Polo den mia bikuli ban je waamu, ki yedi ba: Dinla n tie piiga n dana naa ke yi ji leni fala ki naa dini jiemaba kuli.
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.
34 N mia yi yin je mani, lan baa todi yi yin ciadi. Yi siiga baa niyendo yuyengu kan bodi.
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.”
35 Wan den yeni, o den taa dupen ki tuondi U Tienu bikuli nintuali ki cabidi ki hmani.
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.
36 Lane bikuli den baa li papaali ki dini.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Tinba yaaba n den ye ku ñinbiagu yeni niinni kuli den pundi kobiga n piilele n niba luoba.
In all, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Ban den dini ki dagidi, bi den luni ban tugi ya halikama mi ñima nni ke ku ñinbiagu yuagi.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Lan den fa, baa den bandi ban baali yaa tinga, ama bi den laa ku kpenkadigu ke ku jaali tie tanbitinga. Bi den jagi ke li ya baa tuo ban nagini ku ñinbiagu ki sieni gu lankani.
When it was day, they didn’t recognise the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40 Bi den jia yaa baabi n kubi a kubikpiaga kuli ki ha ha mi ñima nni, ki go lodi yaa baabi n luo ku ñinbiagu bonpegidikaala. Lani bi den yugidi ya cabicianli n ye ku ñinbiagu yuli kani ke u faalu tudi ku ñinbiagu ke ku teli li jaali po.
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.
41 Ban den pundi ya tanbijuali n ye m ñima nni, ku ñinbiagu den kpaabi li ki sedi. Ku ñoabu den feli mi tanbiima yeni niinni jinjini, a ñinguona den poa ku puoli po leni u paalu hali ki teni ke ku kuakua bonjenajena.
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.
42 A minteela den jagi ke bi baa kpa a kadibila, kelima baa den bua bi siiga baa yendo n kua mi ñima nni ki dugi ki ciadi.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Ama bi yudaano yua n den bua ki ga Polo miali, den yie bipo ke ban da tieni yeni. O go den yedi ke yaaba n bani li ñindugili n kpa yugi ki baa mi ñima nni ki dugi ki pundi li jaali.
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 towards the land;
44 O go den yedi yaaba n sieni ma, bi tianba n cuo ti dapagidi, bi tianba mo n cuo ku ñinbiagu n mudi ki ha yaa dajena, ki hoadi ba. Bi den tieni yeni ke bikuli den pundi li jaali po leni laafia.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
