Waiwa 27
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1A LAO kileledier, me je pan jerokelan Italien, re kajilaki Pauluj, o akai me jalidi, kaun en jaunpei amen, me ad a Iuliuj, kijan pwin en Aukujtuj.
1When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
2Kit ari kereda pon jop en Adramitien pot, me pan jupi on kanim en Ajien akan, me mi pon oror, ap tan wei. Ari, Arijtarkuj, men Majetonien amen jan Tejalonik ian kit.
2We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3Mandan ran o je leler Jidon. A Iuliuj me kadek on Pauluj, ap mueid on i, en kotila ren kompokepa ko pwen kajarloleit.
3The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
4Kit ari majelar jan waja o, ap tanatan pananen Jipern, aki an me u don kit.
4After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5Kit tanatan kotela lepen jed en Jilijia o Pampilien, je ap lel on Mira en Lijia,
5And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
6I waja kaun en jaunpei o diarada jop en Alekjandrien pot, me pan majelan Italien, i ari kajau on kit poa.
6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7A kit pwapwand kokola, pon toto meid apwal on kit lel on Kniduj, pwe an me kawela; kit ari tanatan pananen Kreta, tan won Jalmone.
7After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8A meid apwal at dauli waja o; kit ari lel on jap eu, me ad a Kapitau mau koren ion kanim Lajaa.
8After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9A anjau lao daulier o a apwalar on jailok jili, aki ran en kaijejol daulier, Pauluj ap kotin panaui o
9By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
10Majani on irail: Ol oko, i ajaer me jailok wet pan juedela a pan apwal kaualap, kaidin on audepan jop o jop eta, pwe pil on maur atail.
10“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
11A kaun en jaunpei o liki jaunilil o jaumaj en jop o jan majan en Pauluj.
11But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12A kapitau me jota non mau on jop en mimieta ni anjaun kapau. Koren ion karoj ari men jamala jan waja o, o re jon, ma re jota kak on lel Ponikj, pwen mimita waja o ni anjaun kapau, I kapitau en Kreta eu, me mi ni pali air o pali apan.
12Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
13A an lao udo jan pali air, re ap kiki on, me re pan pwaida, ap apiada paipun ko tanala liman Kreta.
13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
14A madan melimel udo jan Kreta, me ad a alepip en kijinian.
14But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
15A an lao kapeila jop o, o jop jolar kak on, kit ap nenenla o peila.
15Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
16Ni at tanala pananen dake tikitik eu, me ad a Klauda, me tar kij, a je jolar kak on koledi pot o.
16Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
17Irail apiada i, pwen kak piradi on ni jop o, ap lilidi, pwe re majak re de jerada nan Jirte, ap punipunidok jili.
17After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
18Kit lao punipunidok jili kaualap, manda ap kamararadar jop o.
18We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.
19A ni ran kajilu irail kaje kila pein pa arail kapwa en jop o.
19On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
20Kadekadeo ran totola jota katipin o jota uju, o melimel kalaimun u don kit, ap jolar at kaporopor en pitila.
20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.
21A kit lao kaijejol warailar, Pauluj ap pwarada nan pun arail majani: Ol oko mak eta, komail en peiki on ia er o jo majel jan Kreta, pwe kitail ender lel don kaupatail.
21After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.
22A met i panaui komail, en kaporopor mau, pwe jota me pan mela, jop eta me pan ola.
22But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.
23Pwe tounlan en Kot, me japwilim a nai, o me i kin papa, me kotida imp ai pon,
23For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
24Kotin majani: Pauluj, koe der majak, koe pan wijike won ren Jija. A kilan, Kot me kotiki on uk er karoj me ian uk.
24and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25Ari ol oko komail kaporopor mau, pwe i kin pojon Kot, me a majan pan pwaida.
25So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
26A kitail pan jerada nin dake eu.
26However, we must run aground on some island.”
27A lao pon naul pa pon lar, kit peipei jili nan jed Adria. Ni ailep en pon toun jop o kajauiada, me je koren ion jap eu.
27On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28A irail lao kajedi men jon, re ap diaradar, me nap rieijok, o re kaila ekij waja o kajedi men jon, re ap diaradar, me nap eijoklimau.
28They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep. Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.
29A re majak, je de jerada pon mut, rap kajedi paipon paieu jan in murin jop, ap mauki en ran pajan,
29Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
30A toun jop o lao men pitila jan nin jop o, o re apiedi pot apot nan jed, dene re pan kajedi paipon kai ni mon jop o,
30Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
31Pauluj ap majani on kaun o jounpei kan: Ma mepukat jota pan mimieta pon jop o, komail jota pan kak dorela.
31But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32Jaunpei kan ap leke jan pot o kajela o ari.
32So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
33A lao pan ran pajan, Pauluj ap panaui irail, ren mana, majani: Nan a pon naul pa pon lar, me komail kin auiaui o kaijejol o jota mana.
33Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
34Nai ari panauki komail, en mana, pwe i me komail pil pan piti kila. Pwe jota pit en mon pit pan pupedi jan amen komail.
34So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
35A lao majanier met, ap ale prot, danke Kot mo ’rail karoj. I lao pilitiki pajan ap jak.
35After he had said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36Irail karoj ap kaporopor maular o pil mana.
36They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.
37A kit karoj me mi nan jop o, me riepuki ijiakan wonumen.
37In all, there were 276 of us on board.
38Irail lao medier, rap kamaradar jop o, kajedi on nan madau korn.
38After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39A lao waja ran pajan, re jaja jap o, A re diaradar kapitau me mad mia; i waja re lamedar en walan jop ia, ma re pan kak on.
39When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40Irail lao leke jan paipon ko, rap kaje ir ala nan madau, o lapwada padil akan, o apiadar p jerok en moa ni an o, ap tanala ni oror.
40Cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea as they loosened the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
41Irail lao lel on mad eu, jop o jerada o jolar mokid. Mon jop o tenela, a muri ola nan iluk kan.
41But the vessel struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was being broken up by the pounding of the waves.
42Jaunpei ko ap men kamela me jalidi kan, pwe amen de pan pitila jan.
42The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom.
43A kaun en jaunpei o men dorela Pauluj, ap jota mueid on irail me re men wia o majani: Me aja pampap, en lujedi on nan madau pap won jap o.
43But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul’s life, thwarted their plan. He commanded those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
44A me tei kan pon tenap de kijan jop o. A ap pwaida, me irail karoj dorelar o lel on jap o.
44The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.
