Mitendo 27
1 Hachi kuzumi zenwe kuti tuswanera ku zuhira kwa Itali, chiva vika Paulusi ni vamwi vambatiti mwi kamaiso yo muyendisi yavali kusupwa Juliyasi we chisole cha Agustini.
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 Chitwe chira muchisepe chizwa kwa Adiramatiyaumu, icho chichi vali kukatuka cha marizo a Asiya. Cwale chitwa yenda kwi wate. Arisitichesi wa kwa Mateselonika ava yendi naswe.
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 Izuva lichilira chitwa kafweka hamuleñi wa Sidoni, uko Juliyasi avaka pangi hande Paulusi ke chishemo ni kumu zuminina kuti a yende kuvali kani vakwe kuti aka wane ipavalero yavo.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Kuzwa aho, tuva yendi kwi wate ni kuka zuhira kuzimbuka chi oli cha Cypurusi icho civali ku wumbitwe ku luhuho, kakuti luhuho luvali kutu lwisa.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Hachitu zuhite kuluta menzi ena hafuhi ni Chilisiya ni Pamiliya, chitweza kwa Myra, muleneñi wa Lyicia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Uko, muyendisi ava wani chisepe chizwa kwa Alexandiria icho chivali kuya kwa Itali. Chatu vika muchili.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Hachitu zuhite cho kulyehisa chama zuva mangi mi kumamani chitwa kasika cho vukavo he mbali ni Cnidusi, luhuho kena luva tuzuminini kuyenda mweyina inzira. Chitwa zuha kumbali ni marizo a Crete, kumbali 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 Chitwa zuha kumbali ni marizo cho vukavo, kusikira hatwiza kusika hachivaka chimwi chi supwa Mawulu Hande, china he mbali ni muleneñi wa Lasea.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Chitu vali kuhindite i nako nde, inako yo kulinyima zilyo ya Majuda nayo chiyi va hitilire, mi chikuvali kwi zite vukavo kuku zuha. Cwale Paulusi chava laya,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 ni kuti, “Vakwame, Ni vwene kuti chisepe chitu swanera kuhinda muchive ni nkolofalo ni shiyehero ahulu, isiñi vulyo ye zibya ni chisepe, kono mane vulyo ni vuhalo bwetu.”
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 Kono muyendisi ava tekerezi ahulu kumu kulwana ni ku mwine we chisepe kuhita kuzintu inzo zavali ku wamba Paulusi.
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 Kakuti irizo kena livena hande kuti twi kale hateni muma liha, vungi bwa vantu vavena mo chiva yerezwa kuzuha kuzwa ho, mwendi chomukwa wumwi mutu wole kukasika kumuleneñi wa Phoenix, kuti tuke kale kwateni maliha. Phoenix irizo lina mwa Crete, mi lilorere kwa mbowera wiko ni mutulo upa.
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 Ihuho lizwa kumbali yokuchi monso halu tanga kuhunga che konzo, vazuhi chiva nahana kuti chiva wana chivavali kusaka. Cwale chiva tatuva mandinda ni kuzuhira kuya Crete, kumbali ni riso.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Kono hakuhita kavaka zana liñungwa lye huho, linsupiwa Ihuho lyo kwiyaza lye Chimonso, chilya tanga ku dama hetu kuzwa mwishirya lye chioli.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Aho chisepe hachiza kuwondwa kumutwi mi kena chivali kuwola ku zuhira kulolera ihuho, chitwa siya kululi mi chilwa tu timba.
When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Tuva tiyiri kwi mbali ni minzunde yo kwimbali ye kawoli zana kasupwa Cauda; mi chovukavo tuva woli kuvavalera mato o vuhalo.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Hachi va katwire, vava severisi mihara yateni kusumina mutwi we chisepe. Vavali kutiyite kuti mutu tirire mwiseke lya Syrtisi, mi chiva sumununa hihara ye chisepe mi tuva vuviswa vulyo.
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 Tuva chimbolwa ku luhuho, cwale havusa vazuhi chiva tanga kuzindira zibya hanze.
As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Mwizuva lyo vutatu vazuhi chiva zindira hanze zisipi ze chisepe chamanza avo.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Cwale izuva ni nkani kana ziva muniki hewulu lyetu cha mazuva mangi, mi i huho ikando livali kusi dama hetu, kena kuvasina i sepo yo kuhazwa kwetu twense iva tumanini.
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 Ha chiva hindite inako inde niva sali zilyo, linu Paulusi ava zimani mukati ka bazuhi ni kuwamba. “Vakwame, saka muswanera kuteka kwa ngu. mi nikusa zuha kuzwa kwa Crete, sina kwiza kuwana iyi kolofalo ni shiyehero.
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 Mi hanu nimi susu weza kuti mukole, kakuti ka kwina zumwi yate a siyeherwe vuhalo mukati kenu, kono mbwita fera i sinyehero ye chisepe.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life amongst you, but only of the ship.
23 Kakuli masiku a mana Iñiroyi lye Ireeza uko kuni wanika, uzo hape uni lapera - iñiroyi lyakwe lyeza kuzimana hembali name
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 ni kuwamba, “Kanji u tiyi, Paulusi. Uswanera kuka zimana ha vusu bwa Caesar, mi vone, Ireeza mumuvuso wakwe waha kwako vonse vayenda nawe.
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Cwale he, Vakwame, muve ni vundume, kakuli ni sepa Ireeza, kuti kaipangahale sina muya wambirwa kwangu.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Kono tuswanera kuzimana ha tuwoli tumwi.”
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Hakwiza kusika masiku e kumi ni minwe yone, sina hatuvali kutimbirwe mweyi nzira ni kuti mwi wate lya Adriatic, mwinako yaha kati ka masiku va zuhi chivavali kuhupula kuti chivavali kusika he mbali ne rizo.
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 Chivahinda milumo ni kuwana makumi overe yo kutunga.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Vava tiyite kuti muva chaise mumabwe, mi civa susa mabwe one kuchi sepe ni kulapera kuti kakusasani kwize chokuhwera.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Vazuhi vavali kusaka inzira yo kutiyira chisepe mi chiva sumunwina kato zana mwi wate, ni kupanga uvu vasaka ku zindira ikora mwi wate kuvusu vwe tusi.
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 Kono Paulusi cha wambira muyendisi wa masole ni masole, “Mbwita ava vakwame chive kala mu chisepe, kase muwole ku hazwa.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Cwale masole chiva kosola mihala ya kasepe zana ni kukasiya ka kuke.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Cwale izuva halivali kuñatula, Paulusi chava kumbira vonse kuti valye zilyo, Chati, “Ili izuva de kumi ni minwe yo ne ni mulindire mi kamuli; kakwina chimwi chimwalya.
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 Cwale ni mi kumbira kuti mulye chimwi, kakuti ichi cho kuhala kwenu; imi kakwina nanga lusuki lonke lwe mitwi yenu lwese luzove.”
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 Hacha manite kuwamba izi, cha hinda vuroto ni kulitumera kwe Ireeza havusu bwa vantu vonse. Mi cha chi jamona chikwa ni kutanga 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 Imi vonse vava susuwezwa mi hape chiva hinda zilyo.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Tuvali kwina 276 vantu muchi sepe.
In all, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Hachi vamanite kulya kwikuta, chiva zwisa zi lema muchisepe cho ku zindira zikwa zavo mumenzi.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Hachili ñatwire inzuva, kena vava lemuhi icho chivaka, kono vavoni irizo ni kamba, mi chiva kandekisana kambe vawola kutwala chisepe hateni.
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 Mi civa kosola mihara ikwete akori ni ku zisiya mwi wate. Mwi nako iswana chiva sumununa mihara akwete mapuranga oku sikululisa chisepe ni kuzimika i seiri ikando kuluhuho; mi chiva liva he rizo.
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 Kono chiveza hachi vaka aho mezi u kwimbali zovere avali kukopanera, mi chisepe chicha mina kuya hansi, ni tako lye chisepe chilya kakatira hateni ni kushala kusa woleka kuzwa ho ni kuchoka lyo kuvusu, kono chisepe chicha tanga kuñatoka vakeñi cha mandinda avali kukalihite.
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 Mulero wa masole ubali okwihaya vasuminwa iri kuti kanji kuwaniki yo wola kusamba ni kulovoka.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Kono mukulwana wa masole avali kusaka ku haza Paulusi, imi cha kanina muhupulo wavo; mi cha layera avo vavali kuwola kusamba kuti va chirukire mumezi ni kusambira kwi rizo.
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 Cwale vakwame vonse muve chilire, vamwi ha mapuranga, vamwi hanzimwi zintu zi chimboka zina muchisepe. Mweyi inzira chikwa wanika kuti tuvonse tuva kasiki hande herizo.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
