Katwa Nono Katwa 27
1 Na iwa yenin au ti ma nyeu udu Italiya, I nakpa Bulus ku nin namon anang licin nacaran kon kusoja unang kisan Julius, na awadin Agusta.
And 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 piran Zurgin myein unuzun Andramatiya, ule na uwadin cin kusari kurawan Asiya. Tidoo tidi yene, Aristarkus unuzun Tassalonika nanyan Makidoniya nyaa nan narik.
And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Nin kurtunun nkuiye ti pira nanya kagberin Sidon, kikaa na Julius wa yiru Bulus ku adoo ninghe kiti na doone na iwa yenjeghe nsen.
And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.
4 Unuzu kikane ti doo kurawa kudyawe, ti cina nanyan zirgin myeine udu lidan kulin Kubrus na uma kese ufune, bara na ufune wa wantin nari ucin.
And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Na ti wa din nanyan myeine kupoon Kilikiya nin Bamfiliya, ti da Umira, kagbirin Lisiya.
And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
6 Kikane ku soje se uzirgi unuzun Iskandariya na uwa cinu udu Italiya. A taa nari nanye.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.
7 Na a wa cinu seng ayiri gbardan unin duru nin nijasi kang kupoo Knidus, Na ufunwe nsuna nari ba, bara nani ti cina kusari kucinen Krete, kupoon Salmone.
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Ti cina ngau kurawa kudgawe nin nijasi se na ti wa dak nkankiti na idin yicu Fiya Havens ule na udi kupoo kagberin Lasiya.
and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Ti malu nanzu kubi kang, kubin kifu tinuu na Yahudawa tutung malu kafu, unin so nari nin nijasi ti ti ubum nin cine. Bara nani Bulus wunno nani atuff,
And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 anin waro, “Anit, inyene ucin ulele na ti masu uma dak nari nin langzu kull nin duru nimoon gbardang na ma kuturan zerge cas ba, ti lai bite ulang.”
and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Bara nani ku soje ceu kibinai me kitin cikilare nin nanang zirge ashawa imoon ile na Bulus din bellu.
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 Bara na ufune wa caun ti so nanye ba, ngbardang nanang cine woro ti cinu kikane. Andi ti wa sa tiduru kagbirin Foniks, liwitine katanari kikane, Ufoniks wadi nin nadanga kupoo ngau kurawa nanyan Krete uwadin yenjun kitene kusarin nucun wui nin kusarin disun wui.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there; which is] a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
13 Na ufunu kusarin disun nwuiye ncizina ukuu batbat, anan kuun zirge yenje nafo idin nin vat nimon ile na I dinin su we. Bara nani I kala inyeneghe inin cine kusarin Krete, kupoon ngau we.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14 Na I dandauna ba ufunu udya, naidin sun nnin ufunu kusarin nu cun nwui cizina ufoo nari.
But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
15 Na uzirge nkpiliya kidowo tutung na uwasa uyenje kusarin fune ba, ti cino unin nanye udin cinu nin narik.
and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.
16 Ti cun ligowe kusari lidan nanya kuli libene lo na idin yicu ukauda, nin neu udya ti wa se ka zirge kabenen nlai.
And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17 Na I nyangtina ti shote itece uzirgi udyawe mun. I wa lanza fiu au to ma cinu ketene nicicin Nsirtiya, i cino ushote ufunue nyaa nin ghinu.
and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18 Ti wa dira kang nin fune ukurtunung nkui ye anang katwa nzirge nutuzuno imoone ifilzino nanya myeine.
And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw [the freight] overboard;
19 Liri lin tate anan latwa nzirge nin nacara mene filizino imoone.
and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Nanya nayiri gbardang na uwui ming niyini nnuzu ba, ufunu udindya nin din kuu nari, vat in ceu nibinai bite ti ma ulai ula nuzu.
And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
21 Na iwa cinu piit sa imonli, Bulus nin yisina kiitik nanan katwa nzirge a woro, “Anit ale nkuru fo ini lanzai, na tiwa nuzu nKrete ba, bara ule ulanzun nkule nin diru nimoon ilele.
And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22 Nene indin ti minu likara nibinai na iwa ti yototo ba, bara na ima diru umong nanya mine ba, ma udirum zirgere.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.
23 Bara nin kiitik unan kadura Kutelle ule na meng di ligowe ninghe, ule na indin tumuzunghe tutung - unan kadura me yisin likot nighe
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24 anin woro, 'Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Bulus. Uma yisinu nbun nKaisar, unin yene, Kutelle nanyan nkunekune me ana nife vat nale na una cinu nanghinu.'
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Bara nani, anit, tan kibinai likara bara na inyinna nin Kutelle, au ima so nafo na iwa bellin.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.
26 Bara nani tima nyanju kitune nadan nanya kurawa kudya.”
But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 Na kiitik kin likune nin kin nas ndaa, na tiwa din cin libau lole au nin nanya kurawa kudyan Adriyatik nin kutek kiitik anan katwan zirge din yenju idaa kupoon ngou kurawe.
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:
28 Idumna nmyeine ise abunu likure nin naba, na I dandauna ba ikuru idumna ise abunu likure nin nitaun.
and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 I lanza fiu au ima diu kitene natala ituu ucinko unas ligang nzirge inin son ncaa uwui nuzu.
And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Anan katwa nzirge wa din piziru ndina nworu I filin unin icum, I wadi imalu tuu uzirgi ubene nanya kurawe, idin dursuzu nafo ima tuu umong ucinko nbune.
And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,
31 Bulus woro indya na soje nin nasoje, “Andi na unit alele nso nanyan nzirge ba nati ma ti ulai ba.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 A soje nin werzine tii nzirge isuna unin unyaa.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Na nkanang ncizina udasu, Bulus risa nani ili imonli, a woro, “Kitimone liri lin likure nin na nasari ulele na ileu imonli ba.
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Bara nani indin putu minu nacara ipiziru imonli ili, bara inan se ulai; na liti lirum tete mene ma wulu ba.”
Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
35 Na abenle nani, ayira uburodi ataa nlira ku niyizi mine vat; anin puco unin acizina ule.
And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.
36 Inung nin se likara nibinai, inung ulang cizina ule.
Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.
37 Ti wa di akolt aba nin nakut kuzurr nin kutocin nanyan nzirge.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Na ileu ibatina nani, I taa uzirge fau na iwa kalza ualkame I tusu nanya kurawe.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Na kitin shant, na iyino ugauwe tutung ba. Iyene nlon likoot nin ficicin nanya kurawe icizina ukpilzu sa idi ceu uzirge kikane.
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
40 Bara nani ibunku tii nzerge isuna unin nanya kurawe. I kuru ibunku tii nbune isuna ufunu din koo unin bara nani inyaa udu ficicine.
And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 Ida kan kiti na inuu myeine nzuruku uzirge nin cuun udu kutiin. Lican zirge yisina kikane na uwa sa ucina tutung ba bara nani uzirge cizina uputuzu nara tinana nayin kabarkin myeine.
But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].
42 Ukpilzu na soje wadi imolso acine vat bara umong mine wa su iyiu nanyan myeine acoo.
And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.
43 Udya mine wadi nin si a tucu Bulus ku, bara nani ayira ukpilzu mine; anin woro ule na awasa akafina kurawe adeu nanyan myeine adi yisin kutiine.
But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;
44 Kagisin na nite nin dofino, among kitene ku ca, among kitene nimon nanyan nzirge. Nlo libauwe tina se vat bite kaffin kurawe acine.
and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
