Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
Wosii gyinae wiee sɛ yɛnkɔ Italia no, wɔde Paulo ne nneduafo bi hyɛɛ Yulio a ɔyɛ Roma asraafo panyin no nsa.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Yɛkɔtenaa hyɛn bi a ɛrekɔ Asia fam no mu wɔ Adramitio. Na Makedoniani Aristarko a ofi Tesalonika no ka yɛn ho.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously pleaded Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
Ade kyee no, yekoduu Sidon. Yulio yɛɛ Paulo adɔe ma ɔkɔsraa ne nnamfo ma wɔmaa no nneɛma a ɛho hia no.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Esiane sɛ yetuu wɔ hɔ no na mframa bɔ hyia yɛn no nti yɛka kɔɔ Kipro nifa fam.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Yɛnam po so kɔfaa Kilikia ne Pamfilia koduu Mira a ɛwɔ Likia mantam mu no mu.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
Ɛhɔ na asraafo panyin no huu hyɛn bi a efi Aleksandria rekɔ Italia. Enti ɔde yɛn kɔtenaa mu.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come opposite to Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, opposite to Salmone;
Hyɛn no kɔɔ brɛoo enti yedii nna wɔ po no so. Yɛbrɛɛ ansa na yɛredu Knido. Esiane sɛ na mframa bɔ hyia yɛn no nti, yɛfaa Salmoni hyɛngyinabea ka kɔɔ Kreta nifa fam.
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh unto which was the city of Lasea.
Yɛka kɔɔ mpoano nkakrankakra kosii sɛ yɛde ɔbrɛ beduu baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Hyɛn Agyinae a ɛbɛn kurow Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
Na yɛasɛe mmere pii, na saa bere no nso po no sofa yɛ hu efisɛ na ɛyɛ Mpata Da akyi. Paulo tuu wɔn fo se,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
“Anuanom, mihu sɛ, sɛ yɛtoa yɛn akwantu yi so a, yebehu amane ama ebia hyɛn no abɔ ama emu nneɛma asɛe ama nnipa ahwere wɔn nkwa.”
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
Nanso asraafo panyin no antie fo a Paulo tuu wɔn no, na mmom otiee nsɛm a hyɛnkafo no ne hyɛn no wura kae no.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.
Esiane sɛ na hyɛngyinabea hɔ nye mma sɛ wɔbɛtena hɔ awɔwbere mu no nti nnipa no bebree pɛe sɛ, sɛ ebetumi a anka hyɛn no betu afi hɔ akɔ Foinike. Foinike yɛ hyɛngyinabea a ɛwɔ Kreta a ɛda atifi ne anafo ntam wɔ Atɔe fam. Ɛyɛ baabi a wobetumi atena hɔ awɔwbere mu.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
Mframa a ano nyɛ den bɔ fii anafo fam no, nnipa no susuw sɛ wobetumi atoa wɔn akwantu no so sɛnea wɔahyehyɛ no. Enti wotuu sɛkyɛ no de hyɛn no faa Kreta mpoano.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
Ankyɛ koraa na mframa kɛse bi a wɔfrɛ no “Apueitifi Mframa” bɔ fii supɔw no so.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
Mframa no bɔ bunkam faa yɛn hyɛn no so twee no kɔɔ po no mu. Yɛbɔɔ mmɔden sɛ yɛbɛdan hyɛn no ani na anyɛ yiye no, yegyae maa mframa no twee no kɔe.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Yeduu supɔw ketewa bi a wɔfrɛ no Klauda ho a na ɛhɔ mframa ano nyɛ den mpo no, yɛbrɛɛ ansa na yɛretumi atwe hyɛn no korow a ɛsɛn akyi no aba mu.
17 Which when they had taken up, they used support cables, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksand, strake sail, and so were driven.
Hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo no maa so baa hyɛn no mu bɛkyekyeree no denneennen. Esiane sɛ na wosuro sɛ wɔbɛkɔ akɔka nwea mu nti, woyiyii hyɛn dua no so ntama maa mframa no bɔɔ hyɛn no kɔɔ baabiara a ɛpɛ.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
Mframahweam no kɔɔ so bɔe; ɛno nti ade kyee no woyiyii hyɛn no mu nneɛma no bi tow guu po no mu.
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the cordage of the ship.
Ne nnansa so no, wɔsesaw hyɛn no ho nneɛma no bi tow gui.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
Nna bebree twaa mu a na yenhu owia anaa nsoromma a na mframahweam no gu so retu. Eyi maa yɛn anidaso nyinaa sae.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, all of you should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Nna bebree twaa mu a na obiara nnidi no, Paulo ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anuanom, sɛ mutiee me na yɛantu amfi Kreta a anka ɛnyɛ ɛne yɛn amanehunu yi.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
Nanso momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam, efisɛ mo mu biara renwu na mmom, hyɛn no na ɛbɛbɔ.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Nnɛra anadwo, Onyankopɔn a mesom no no bɔfo baa me nkyɛn
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given you all them that sail with you.
bɛka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Paulo, nsuro! Nea ɛbɛyɛ biara wubedu Kaesare anim ama wɔadi wʼasɛm. Wɔn a wɔka wo ho yi nso, Onyankopɔn adom nti, biribiara renyɛ wɔn.’
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Anuanom, momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam, efisɛ migye Onyankopɔn di na asɛm a waka akyerɛ me no bɛba mu pɛpɛɛpɛ.
26 Nevertheless we must be cast upon a certain island.
Nanso nea ɛbɛyɛ biara no hyɛn no bɛbɔ wɔ supɔw bi mpoano.”
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the sailors deemed that they drew near to some country;
Ne nnaawɔtwe abien anadwo no a na mframahweam no nti hyɛn no redi akɔneaba wɔ Adria po so no, ɔdasu mu na hyɛn no mu adwumayɛfo huu sɛ yɛrebɛn asase.
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
Wɔtoo susuhama huu sɛ asu no mu tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonu. Ɛyɛɛ kakra a wosusuw bio no, wohuu sɛ ɛyɛ anammɔn aduɔkron.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Esiane sɛ na wosuro sɛ anyɛ a hyɛn no bɛpem ɔbotan bi nti wɔtoo sɛkyɛ anan wɔ hyɛn no akyi twɛn kosii adekyee.
30 And as the sailors were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,
Hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo pɛɛ sɛ woguan. Enti wogyaw hyɛn no korow no sii po no ani boapa yɛɛ sɛnea wɔrekɔto sɛkyɛ wɔ hyɛn no anim.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, all of you cannot be saved.
Paulo ka kyerɛɛ asraafo panyin no ne asraafo a wɔka ne ho no se, “Sɛ hyɛn yi mu nnwumayɛfo no guan a, mubewuwu.”
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Eyi nti asraafo no twaa hama a ɛkyekye hyɛn no korow no mu no ma ɛkɔe.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that all of you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
Ade reyɛ akye no, Paulo srɛɛ wɔn nyinaa se wonnidi. Nea ɔkae ne sɛ, “Nnaawɔtwe abien ni, mo mu biara mfaa aduan nkaa nʼano.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Mesrɛ mo, obiara nnidi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, mubenya ahoɔden. Biribiara renyɛ obiara.”
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
Paulo kasa wiei no, ɔfaa brodo bɔɔ mpae daa Onyankopɔn ase wɔ wɔn nyinaa anim na obuu bi dii.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some food.
Amono mu hɔ ara wɔn nyinaa bo tɔɔ wɔn yam ma wofii ase didii.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Nnipa a na yɛwɔ hyɛn no mu no dodow yɛ ahannu ne aduɔson asia.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Obiara didi mee no, hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo no tow aburow a ɛwɔ hyɛn no mu no guu po no mu maa hyɛn no mu yɛɛ hare.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Ade kyee no, hyɛn no mu nnwumayɛfo no anhu sɛ wɔadu mpoano. Wohuu faako a po no adidi akɔ asase no mu a nsu taa hɔ. Enti wɔyɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛka hyɛn no akɔ hɔ ama akɔka.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
Ɛno nti wotwitwaa hyɛn no sɛkyɛ ahama no mu maa sɛkyɛ no guu po mu. Afei wɔsansan hama a ekura akwankyerɛde no mu na afei wosii ntama a ɛwɔ hyɛn no anim no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mframa betumi abɔ hyɛn no akɔ mpoano.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the front part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
Nanso ɛhyɛn no kɔpem nweatam bi ma ɛkae. Hyɛn no anim kaa denneennen na asorɔkye a na ɛrebɔ no maa akyi no nso bubui.
42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Asraafo no yɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wobekunkum nneduafo no nyinaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara rennya kwan nguan.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
Nanso esiane sɛ na asraafo panyin no pɛ sɛ ogye Paulo nkwa no nti wamma wɔn ho kwan. Mmom, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔn a wobetumi aguare no mfi ase nguare nkɔ mpoano.
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
Wɔn a wɔaka no nso ntetare mmerɛte ne nnua asinasin a abubu fi hyɛn no mu no so nkɔ mpoano. Saa ɔkwan yi so na yɛnam beduu mpoano nohɔ dwoodwoo.
