Matendo ya Mitume 27
1 Bho jhiamulibhu kujha twilondeka kusafiri kwa masi kulota Italia, bhan'kabidhi Paulo ni bhafungwa bhangi kwa afisa mmonga bhwa jeshi la Kiroma jhaakutibhweghe Julio, ghwa kikosi kya Agustani.
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 Twakweli meli kuhoma Adramitamu, ambajho jhajhele isafiriajhi mundemandema jha pwani jha Asia. Hivyo tukajhingila baharini. Aristaka kuhoma Thesolanike jha Makedonia akalota pamonga ni tete.
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 Ligono lyalakesisi tukasopa nanga mu mji bhwa Sidoni, ambapo Julio ambombili Paulo kwa ukarimu ni kunduhusu kulota kwa bharafiki zake kupokela ukarimu bhwa nene.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Kuhoma api tokalota mu bahari twasafiri kusyongoka kisiwa kya Kipro ambakyo kya k'engibhu ni m'pongo, kwa ndabha m'pongo utusumbuleghe.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Baada jha kusafiri mmasi kalibu ni Kilikia ni Pamfilia, tukahida Mira, mji bhwa Lisia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Pala jhola afisa ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma, ajhikolili meli kuhoma Alexandria ambajho jhilondeghe kusafiri kulota Italia. Akatukwesya mugati.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Baada jha kusafiri molimoli kwa magono mingi ni hatimaye twfikili kwa tabu karibu ni Kinidas, m'pongo ghwa turuhusuili lepi kabhele kulota njela ejhu hivyo twasafiri mundemandema jha kivuli kya Krete khoni twikikenga mp'ongo, mkabala ni Salmone.
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 Twasafiri mundemandem jha pwani kwa ukakatafu, mpaka tukafika mahali papakutibhu Fari Haveni ambajho ijhele karibu ni mji bhwa Lasi.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Twatolili muda umelele muni, ni muda bhwa mfungo ghwa Kiyahudi ghwajhele umalikupea kabhele, na henu jhajhele ni hatari kujhendelela kusafiri. Hivyo Paulo akatuonya,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 ni kujobha, “Bhagosi, nibhona safari jha twilonda kulota ejhe ni madhara ni hasara simehele, siyo tu jha misighu ni meli, lakini ni jha maisha gha jhotu.”
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 Lakini afisa ghwa jeshi la Kiroma akampelekesya zaidi bwana ghwa muene ni mmiliki ghwa meli, kuliko mambo ghala ghaghalongelibhu ni Paulo.
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 Kwandabha bandari jhajhelepi sehemu rahisi kutama wakati bhwa mepu, mabaharia bhingi bhashauriri tusafiriajhi kuhoma pala, ili kwa namna jhejhioha tubhwesiajhi kubhufikila mji bhwa Foinike, tutamayi pala bhwakati bhwa mepu. Foinike ndo bandari okhu Krete, na jhilola kaskazini mashariki ni kusini mashariki.
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 Mp'ongo ghwa kusini bho bhujhendili kubhuma molimoli, mabaharia bhakafikirira kujha bhamalili kukabha kya bhakilondeghe. Bhakajhonja nanga ni kusafiri mundemandema jha Krete karibu ni pwani.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Lakini baada jha muda mfupi mp'ongo n'kali, bhwabhukutibhweghe bhwa kaskazini mashariki, ukajhanda kututobha kuhoma kwiselya jha kisiwa.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Wakati meli ijhelemibhu ni kushindwa kubhukali mp'ongo, tukajhedekelana ni hali ejhu, tukasafirisibhwa nabhu.
When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Tukajhumba kup'etela lubhafu lwa luukingighe mp'ongo bhwa kisiwa kyakikutibhweghe Kauda; ni kwa taabu sana twafanikibhu kuokola bhwatu.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Baada jha kujha bhabhufutili, bhatumili ngojhi kuuk'onga meli. Bhatileghe kujha ngatubhwesi kulota ku lieneo lya n'sanga ghumehele lya Syiti, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga na bhagendesibhu mundemandema.
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 Twatobhibhu kwa nghofu sana ni linyegha, hivyo ligono lyalyifwatili mabaharia bhakajhanda kusopa misighu kuhoma mu meli.
As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Ligono lya tatu, mabaharia bhakayanda kup'omba masi kwa mabhoko gha bhene.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Wakati ambapo lijobh ni litondo syatumuliki lepi kwa magono mingi, bado linyegha libhaha lyatutobhili, ni matumaini kujha tubetakuokolibhwa ghabhokili.
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 Baada jha kujha bhalotili muda mrefu bila kyakulya, apu Paulo akajhema pagati pa mabaharia akajobha, “Bhagosi, mlondekeghe mnip'elekesiajhi, ngatubhokilepi kuhoma Krete, ili kukabha agha madhara ni hasara.
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 Na henu nikabhafariji mkipelayi muoyo, kwa ndabha kubetalepi kujha ni upotefu bhwa maisha kati jha muenga, isipokujha hasara jha meli tu.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life amongst you, but only of the ship.
23 Kwa ndabha kiru kya kilotili malaika ghwa K'yara, ambajhe K'yara ojhu nene ne ghwa muene, ni ambajhe nikamwabudi kabhele - malaika ghwa muene ajhemili palubhafu pa nene
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 ni kujobha, “Usitili Paulo. Lazima ujhemayi palongolo Kaisari, na langayi, K'yara ku bhunofu bhwa muene akupelili abha bhoha ambabho bhisafiri pamonga ni bhebhe.
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Efyo, bhagosi, mukipelayi muoyo, kwandabha nikan'kier K'yara, kujha ibetakujha kama kyanibhajobhili.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Lakini lazima tulamatayi kwa kutobhibhwa mu baadhi jha fisibhwa.”
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Bho ufikili kiru kya kumi na nne, bho twigendesibhwa okhu ni okhu mu bahari jha Adratik, kama kiru kya manane naha, mabaharia bhafikirileghe kujha bhikaribila kundema.
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 Bhatumili milio kup'ema kina kya masi nabhakabhaka mita thelathini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na saba.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Bhatilili kujha bhibhwesya kugonga miamba, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga sinchenche kuhomela sehemu jha lukhela jhihidayi manyata.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Bhala mabaharia bhakajha bhilonda bhaselisi maboti mu masi madebemadebe gha kuokolela maisha, na bhakajha bhikifuanya bhisopa nanga pa sehemu jha palongolo jha liboti.
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 Lakini Paulo akan'jobhela jhola askari ghwa jeshi la Kiroma ni bhala askari, “Mwibhwesya lepi kuokoka isipokujha bhanu abha bhibakila mu meli”.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Kisha askari bhala bhakadumula mighojhi jha liboti ni kujhileka jhitolibhwayi ni masi.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Wakati mwanga ghwa lukhela ghwihoma, Paulo akabhasihi bhoha angalau bhala bhadebe. Akajobha, “Ejhe ligono lya kumi na nne mwilendela bila kulya mlilepi khenu.
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 Hivyo nikabhasihi mtolayi kyakulya kidebe, kwandabha ejhe kwandabha jha kuishi kwa muenga; na lujhelepi hata lujhusili lumonga pamitu ghya jhomu lwalibetakujhagha.
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 Abhoamali kujobha aghu, akalota n'kate akan'shukuru K'yara palongolo jha mihu gha khila munu. Kisha akaumetula n'kate akajhanda kulya.
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 Kisha bhoha bhakapelibhwa muoyo na bhene bhakalota kyakulya.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Twajhele bhanu 276 mugati mu meli.
In all, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Bho bhalili fya kutosha, bhaibhombi meli mbepe kwa kutagha ngano mu masi.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Bhojhifikiri pamusi, bhajhitambuili lepi kundema, lakini bhakabhona sehemu jha kundema jhajhingili mmasi jhajhijhele ni n'sanga mwingi. bhakajadiliana kama bhibhwesya kugendesya meli kulota apu.
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 Hivyo bhakesihobhosya nanga bhakasileka mmasi. Katika muda bhobhuobhu bhakasihobhosya mighojhi jha nanga ni kujhijhinula sehemu jha palongolo kulotela ku mp'ongo, hivyo bhakalota sehemu jha nsanga bhumehele.
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 Lakini bhakahida mahali ambapo miela mibhele ghya masi ghibhonana, ni meli jhikalota kun'sanga. Ni jhela sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhakwamili pala na jhabhwesilepi kubhoka, lakini sehemu jha palongolo jha meli jhikajhanda kudumuka kwa ndabha jha ukali ghwa manyegha.
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 Mpango ghwa bhala askari bhwajhele kubhakoma bhafungwa, ili kwamba ajhelepi ambajhe ngaasoghili ni kutoroka.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Lakini jhola askari ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma alondeghe kumwokola Paulo, hivyo akabhujhemeka mpango bhwa bhene; ni kubhaamuru bhala ambabho bhibhwesya kusogha, bharukayi kuhoma mu meli hoti na bhalotayi kundema.
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 Kisha bhagosi bhamana bhakakesya, bhangi panani pa fenu fenge kuhoma mu meli. Kwa njela ejhe jhatokili bhoha twibeta kufika kinofu kundema.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
