Pakhonchatpa 27
1 Eikhoi Italy-da hi tongduna chatnaba leplabada makhoina Paul amadi phadok kharabu “Ningthourel-gi Lanmi Kangbu” haina kouba adugi lanmi chamagi mapu Julius-ta sinnarammi.
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 Eikhoi Adramyttium-dagi hi tonglammi, hi adu Asia-gi hithangphamsingda chatnaba sem sarammi aduga eikhoi hi tongduna chatle. Macedonia-gi mi Thessalonica-dagi lakpa Aristarchus-su eikhoiga loinarammi.
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 Mathanggi numitta eikhoi Sidon-da thunglammi. Julius-na Paul-bu luna channa tourammi, mahakki marup mapangsingbu unaba amadi makhoina mahakki awatpasing pibibada ayaba pirammi.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Mapham adudagi eikhoi amuk chatlammi adubu nungsitna eikhoigi maiyokta sitpagi maramna eikhoina nungsit adudagi saphanabagidamak Cyprus ithatki marumda hi honduna chatlammi.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Eikhoina Cilicia amadi Pamphylia-gi ipak lanthoktuna Lycia-gi Myra-da thunglammi.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Mapham aduda lanmi chamagi mapu aduna Italy chatkadaba Alexandria-gi hi ama phanglammi maram aduna mahakna eikhoibu hi aduda tonghallammi.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Eikhoina numit kaya marum hi adu tapna tapna hollammi aduga yamna khudong thibaga loinana Cnidus sahar naksallaklammi. Nungsitna maram oiraga eikhoi maikei aduda sangthana hi honba yahandre. Aduna eikhoina saphagadaba Crete ithatki marumda hi honthaduna Salmone lanthoklammi.
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 Yamna wana ipak mapan nakna nakna holaktuna eikhoi Lasea-gi sahar manakta leiba Fair Haven kouba mapham amada laklammi.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Matam yamna mangkhre. Houjikti Chara-henbagi matam adu lanthokkhre maram asina higi khongchat khudong thiningai oire. Maram aduna Paul-na makhoida cheksin wa hairak-i,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 “Ibungokhoi, mapham asidagi eikhoigi khongchat asi khudong thigani; hi asida puriba potchei amadi hi asi yamna mang takpa thokkani aduga punsisingsu manggani.”
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 Lanmi chamagi mapu aduna Paul-na haiba wa adudagi hi adugi luchingba amasung higi mapu aduna haibana henna tarammi.
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 Hithangpham adu ningthamtha lenbada khudongchaba mapham oiramde. Ayamba mina Phoenix-ta hi tongduna chatlaga mapham aduda ningthamtha lennaba yanarammi. Phoenix asi kha nongchup amasung awang nongchup onba Crete-ki hithangpham amani.
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 Khagi nungsitna liri liri sitlakpada makhoina ninglamba adu pangthokpa yarani haina khallammi. Maram aduna makhoina hi phanaba yotki kochi adu loukhattuna yariba makhei Crete-ki mapan nakna nakna hi adu hollammi.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Adubu ikui kuidana “Euroclydon” haina kouba akanba nonglei nungsit ama ithat adudagi sittharaklammi.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Nonglei nungsit aduna hi adu yeirammi aduna nungsit adu maiyoknaba ngamdrabada eikhoina hotnaba toktuna nungsit aduna adum puhallammi.
When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Aduga Cauda kouba ithat macha adugi kharomda lanthokpada eikhoi khara sapharammi. Maduda eikhoina wana hi macha adu tekta kaidana phajinba ngamle.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Makhoina hi macha adu thanggatlammi aduga thouri kharana higi akoiba adu chetna laksillammi. Makhoi Libya-gi leingoi hagatpa maphamda thengjin-gadara haina kirammi maram aduna hi adugi lang-yan-phi adu chingthaduna madu nungsitna humduna puhallammi.
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 Akanba nonglei nungsit adu makha tana chattharammi maram aduna mathanggi numitta makhoina hidagi potcheising khara langthaba hourammi.
As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Mathanggi numitta makhoina higi mapot macheising adu hunthare.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Numit kayamarum numit oirasu thawanmichak oirasu eikhoina amata uba phanglamde aduga nungsit adu leptana yamna kanna sitlammi. Mameithangdadi eikhoi hinggani haibagi asa pumba thadokkhi.
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 Kana amata chaba phangdana sanglaba matam ama houkhrabada Paul-na makhoigi marakta lepkhattuna hairak-i, “Ibungokhoi, nakhoina eigi wa tabiramduna Crete-tagi hi tongduna chatlamdrabadi, eikhoina masigi amang ata pumnamak asi nanglamloidabani.
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 Adubu houjikti eina nakhoida haijari, nathouna phou! Nakhoi kana amatagi thawai mangloi adubu hi asi khaktangdi manggani.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life amongst you, but only of the ship.
23 Maramdi ngarang ahing eigi mapu oibiba amasung eina thougal toujariba Tengban Mapu mahakki dut amana inakta laklaga
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 hairak-i, ‘Paul, nahak kiganu! Nahak Ningthourelgi mangda lepkadabani. Tengban Mapuna nahakpu thoujanbiduna nahakka hi tongduna chatliba pumnamak Tengban Mapuna kanbire.’
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Maram aduna ibungokhoi, thouna phou! Maramdi eingonda haikhiba adumak thokkani haina eina Tengban Mapubu thajei.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Adubu eikhoina karigumba ithat amada thengjinbadi tare.”
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Adubu taramarini suba ahing aduda Mediterranean ipakta nonglei nungsit aduna eikhoibu humduna purammi. Ahing nongyai aduwaida hiroisingna makhoi lam amada naksillakle haiba khallammi.
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 Makhoina kayam luba thenba onduna yengbada feet chama kun lui haiba khangle makhoina khara lapthokna chatlaga amuk hanna onbada feet maraphutara lui haiba khanglammi.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Makhoina hi adu nungjaosingda thengjin-gadra haina kibadagi hirubaktagi yotki kochi mari thadarammi aduga nongngallaknaba haijarammi.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Adubu hiroisingna hi adudagi nanthoknaba hotnarammi; higi mamangdagi yotki kochising adu thadanaba sajinnaduna hi macha ama ipakta thadaraklammi.
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 Maduda Paul-na lanmi chamagi mapu aduda amasung lanmisingda hairak-i, “Hiroising asina hida leitrabadi nakhoi kanba ngamloi.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Maduda lanmising aduna hi macha adugi thourising adu kakthatlaga hi macha adu taothok-hankhre.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Nongngallamdaida Paul-na makhoi pumnamakta chak chanaba insinduna hairak-i, “Nakhoina ngairakliba asi ngasi numit taramarini sure aduga numitsing asida nakhoina kari amata charaktri.
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 Maram aduna nakhoi karigumba kharadi chabiyu masi nakhoi hingnanabani. Nakhoi kana amattagi nakoktagi samna ama phaoba mangloi.”
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 Masi hairaba matungda Paul-na makhoi pumnamakki mamangda tal khara louraga Tengban Mapubu thagatlaga madu thugaiduna charammi.
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 Maduda makhoi pumnamakki pukning thougatladuna makhoinasu chare.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Hi aduda tongliba eikhoi punna mi chani humphutaratarukni.
In all, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Makhoina mabuk thanna charaba matungda hidagi gehu loina ipakta hunthaduna hi adu yang-hallammi.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Nongngallabada makhoina lam adu kari lamno haiba khangba ngamlamde; adubu makhoina leingoigi ipak mapan adu urammi aduna ngamlabadi hi adu honjin-ge haina leplammi.
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 Makhoina yotki kochising adu kakthattuna ipakta lupphankhre, aduga himai chumnaba nousing punba thourising adu louthokle aduga hi adu nungsitna mamangda humlaknaba hi adugi mamanggi lang-yan-phi adu chingkhatlammi. Aduga eikhoi torbanlomda pusilaklammi.
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 Hi adu leingoigi lamda thengjillammi. Hi adugi mamang thangba saruk yeisinbada lengba yadre aduga maning thangba aduna akanba ithak ipomna yeibadagi machet machet kaire.
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 Phadoksing aduna iroiduna nanthokkhidanaba haiduna lanmising aduna makhoibu hatnanaba thourang tourammi.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Adubu lanmi chamagi mapu aduna Paul-bu kanningduna makhoigi thourang adu pangthoktanaba khamle, aduga iroiba ngamba makhoisingna hanna chongthaduna kangphalda chatnaba yathang pirammi.
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 Leihoubasing aduna higi upaksing amasung madugi akaiba machetsing aduda pairaga taoduna kangphalda thungnaba mahakna yathang pikhi. Matou asumna eikhoi pumnamak kangphalda asoi angam leitana thunglammi.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
