World English Bible
1Italy prae ah palong hoi caeh han kam sak o pacoengah, Pawl hoi thongkrah thoemto kaminawk to, Augusta ih misatuh cumvaito ukkung, Julia khaeah aap o.
1When 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.
2Adramyttium palongpui to kang thueng o moe, Asia prae tuipui taengah kaom avangnawk ah caeh han ka poek o; Aristarka, tiah ahmin kaom Macedonoia prae, Thessalonika vangpui ih kami maeto doeh kaicae hoi nawnto oh.
2Embarking 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.
3Khawnbangah loe Sidon vangpui ah kang hak o. Angaihaih hmuennawk sakthaih hanah, Julia mah Pawl to angmah ih ampuinawk khaeah caehsak.
3The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4To ahmuen hoiah kam sak o, takhi song pongah Cyprus prae aloih bang hoiah ka caeh o.
4Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5Cilicia hoi Pamphylia tuipui to ka poeng o moe, Lycia prae Myra vangpui ah kang hak o.
5When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6To vangpui ah misatuh cumvaito ukkung mah Italy prae ah kacaeh Alexandria palongpui to hnuk, to palongpui to kang thueng o roep.
6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7Ni nazetto thung maw amzaita hoi ka caeh o pacoengah, paroeai raihaih hoiah Cnidus to ka phak o, takhi mah pakaa han ai ah, Salmone vangpui zaeh ah kaom Krete prae bangah ka caeh o;
7When 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.
8Paroeai raihaih hoiah to ahmuen to ka poeng o moe, Lasea vangpui taengah kaom Fair, tiah ahmin kaom palongpui anghakhaih ahmuen to ka phak o.
8With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9Ni paroeai ka patoh o boeh moe, buhzahhaih atue doeh boeng boeh, toe palongpui hoi kholong caeh han zit thoh, tiah Pawl mah panoek naah, nihcae khaeah,
9When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10Nawkamyanawk, Vaihi tuilam hoi kholong a caeh o hanah paroeai zit thoh, palongpui amro moe, hmuenmaenawk anghmat han ih khue ai, aimacae hinghaih khoek to raihaih paek tih, tiah poekhaih paek.
10and 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.”
11Toe misatuh cumvaito ukkung loe Pawl mah thuih ih lok pongah, palong mongh kami hoi palong tawnkung mah thuih ih lok to tahngaih lat.
11But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12Siktue thung to palong anghakhaih ahmuen ah oh han hoih ai pongah, kapop kaminawk mah loe caeh poe han a koeh o, Phoenix to phak moe, toah siktue thung oh han a koeh o; to palongpui anghakhaih ahmuen loe Krete prae thungah oh, niduem aluek bang hoi niduem aloih bangah anghae.
12Because 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.
13Aloih bang ih takhi amzaita hoi song naah loe, a koeh o ih baktiah om tih hmang, tiah poekhaih a tawnh o pongah, palongpui paehhaih qui to a khramh o moe, Krete tuipui taeng hoiah a caeh o.
13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14Akra ai ah Euroclydon, tiah kawk ih takhisae to songh.
14But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15Takhi kaham mah palongpui to hmuh pongah, hmabang ah ka caeh o thai ai boeh; to naah palongpui to ka prawt o sut moe, angmah koeh baktiah takhi mah hmuh.
15When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16Klauda, tiah kawk ih tui mah takui ih prae ah ka cawnh o, palong tetta amro ving han ai ah rai parai ah ka caeh o:
16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17to palong ta to palongpui nuiah azuh o tahang moe, palongpui nuiah kacakah qui hoi a paeh o; savuet nuiah angtang moeng tih, tiah zit o pongah, payang ih kahni to a khramh o ving, to pongah ni takhi mah palong to koeh thaithue hmuh.
17After 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.
18Takhi sae hoi tuiphu tha oh hmoek pongah, khawnbangah loe palongpui anghoep kue hanah kazit hmuennawk to a vah o.
18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19Ni thumto naah loe kaimacae ban hoi roe palongpui thung ih hmuennawk to ka vah o.
19On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20Ni paroeai thung ni hoi cakaehnawk to amtueng ai, takhi sae song aep aep pongah ka loih o tih, tiah poekhaih roe om ai boeh.
20When 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.
21Buh caa ai ah ni nazetto maw ka oh o pacoengah, Pawl mah nihcae hma ah angdoet moe, Nawkamyanawk, ka lok na tahngaih o moe, tui mah takui ih Krete prae hoiah a caeh o ai nahaeloe, hae baktih patangkhanghaih hoi raihaih hae a tongh o mak ai.
21When 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.
22Toe vaihi loe kamongah om oh: palongpui khue ni amro tih, kami hinghaih loe amro mak ai.
22Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23Cangduem qum ah, kai tawnkung, a tok ka sak pae ih, Sithaw ih van kami kai khaeah amtueng moe,
23For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24Pawl, zii hmah; Caesar hma ah na hoi o tih: khenah, nang hoi nawnto palongpui thungah kholong caeh kaminawk to Sithaw mah nang hanah paek boih boeh, tiah ang naa.
24saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25To pongah nawkamyanawk, poek nawmhaih hoiah om oh: kai khaeah ang thuih ih lok baktih toengah om tih, tiah Sithaw tanghaih ka tawnh, tiah a naa.
25Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26Kawbangah doeh tui mah takui ih prae maeto ah loe palongpui hae angtang zoezah tih, tiah a naa.
26But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27Ni hatlai palito qum ka phak o moe, Andria tuipui thungah ka caeh o, qum taning ah palong mongh kaminawk mah prae maeto phak tom boeh, tiah a poek o;
27But 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.
28tui to a tah o naah lam pumphae to thuk: nawnetta a caeh o moe, tah o let naah loe lam hatlai pangato thuk.
28They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29Thlung daeng moeng tih, tiah a zit o pongah, taai khok baktih kaom sum kazit palito tui thungah pakhrak o moe, lawkthuihaih hoiah khodai to a zing o.
29Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30Palongpui mongh kaminawk loe palongpui to caehtaak hanah, palongpui hma ah a caeh o, sum kazit tui thungah pakhrah kami baktiah angsak o moe, palongpui nui ih palong tetta to tuipui thungah pakhrak o tathuk, to tiah a sak o li naah,
30As 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,
31Pawl mah misatuh cumvaito ukkung hoi misatuh kaminawk khaeah, Hae kaminawk palongpui thungah om o ai nahaeloe, na loih o thai mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32To pacoengah misatuh kaminawk mah palong paehhaih qui to aah o moe, palong to tui thungah pakhrak o.
32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33Khodai tom naah loe, Pawl mah nihcae boih buhcaak o hanah thuih pae, Vaihni loe buhcaa ai ah na oh o haih ni hatlai palito phak boeh.
33While 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.
34To pongah buhcaa o lai ah: ngan na tui o thai hanah buh to caa oh: nangcae lu nui ih sam maeto mataeng doeh angmuen mak ai, tiah a naa.
34Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
35Lok a thuih pacoengah, takaw to a lak moe, nihcae boih hma ah Sithaw khaeah lawkthuih; to pacoengah takaw to a aeh moe, a caak.
35When 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.
36To naah nihcae mah poeknawmhaih hoiah takaw to caak o boih.
36Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37Palongpui thungah angthueng kaminawk loe sangqum boih ah cumvai hnet, quisarih, tarukto ka oh o.
37In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38Buhcaak boep o pacoengah palongpui anghoep kue hanah, cangni to tuipui thungah a vah o.
38When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39Khodai naah loe nihcae mah saoeng to hnuk o, toe to ahmuen to panoek o ai; palongpui anghakhaih ahmuen to hnuk o naah, angcoeng thai nahaeloe toah palongpui anghaksak han poekhaih a tawnh o.
39When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40Takhi mah palong to tuicing bangah thaak hanah, nihcae mah taai khok baktih kaom sum kazit to tuipui thungah pakhrak o moe, palong thoekhaih ahmuen ah paeh ih quinawk to khramh o pacoengah, payang ih kahni doeh a khramh o.
40Casting 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.
41Tuipui angqumhaih ahmuen phak naah loe, palongpui mah long to daeng; palongpui tahmawh to savuet pongah angtang caeng, to pongah palongpui loe caeh thai ai boeh, kaham tuiphu tha mah palongpui ahnuk bang to amrosak.
41But 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.
42To naah thongkrah kaminawk mah tui alaek o ueloe, cawn o ving moeng tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk mah poek o pongah, nihcae to hum hanah a poek o.
42The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43Toe misatuh cumvaito ukkung mah loe Pawl to pahlong hanah koeh, to pongah nihcae poekhaih to anih mah pakaa pae; tui alaek thaih kami loe palongpui thung hoi tuipui thungah lungpung o moe, tuicing bangah alaek o hanah anih mah lokpaek:
43But 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 toward the land;
44kanghmat thoemto kaminawk khaeah, palongpui nuiah om oh, tiah a naa, thoemto kaminawk khaeah loe kamro palong thingphaek nuiah oh o hanah lok a paek. Hnukkhuem ah, nihcae loe loih o moe, tuicing bangah phak o boih.
44and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
