¹And 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.

¹ወደ ኢጣሊያም በመርከብ እንሄድ ዘንድ በተቈረጠ ጊዜ፥ ጳውሎስንና ሌሎችን እስረኞች ከአውግስጦስ ጭፍራ ለነበረ ዩልዮስ ለሚሉት ለመቶ አለቃ አሳልፈው ሰጡአቸው።

²And 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.

²በእስያም ዳርቻ ወዳሉ ስፍራዎች ይሄድ ዘንድ ባለው በአድራሚጢስ መርከብ ገብተን ተነሣን፤ የመቄዶንያም ሰው የሆነ የተሰሎንቄው አርስጥሮኮስ ከእኛ ጋር ነበረ።

³And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

³በነገውም ወደ ሲዶና ስንደርስ ዩልዮስ ለጳውሎስ ቸርነት አድርጎ እርዳታቸውን ይቀበል ዘንድ ወደ ወዳጆቹ እንዲሄድ ፈቀደለት።

⁴And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁴ከዚያም ተነሥተን ነፋሱ ፊት ለፊት ነበረና በቆጵሮስ ተተግነን ሄድን፤

⁵And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

⁵በኪልቅያና በጵንፍልያም አጠገብ ያለውን ባሕር ከተሻገርን በኋላ በሉቅያ ወዳለ ወደ ሙራ ደረስን።

⁶And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

⁶የመቶ አለቃውም በዚያ ወደ ኢጣሊያ የሚሄድ የእስክንድርያውን መርከብ አግኝቶ ወደ እርሱ አገባን።

⁷And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

⁷ብዙ ቀንም እያዘገምን ሄደን በጭንቅ ወደ ቀኒዶስ አንጻር ደረስን፤ ነፋስም ስለ ከለከለን በቀርጤስ ተተግነን በሰልሙና አንጻር ሄድን፤

⁸And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁸በጭንቅም ጥግ ጥጉን አልፈን ለላሲያ ከተማ ወደ ቀረበች መልካም ወደብ ወደሚሉአት ስፍራ መጣን።

⁹Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

⁹ብዙ ጊዜም ካለፈ በኋላ፥ የጦም ወራት አሁን አልፎ ስለ ነበረ በመርከብ ለመሄድ አሁን የሚያስፈራ ነበርና ጳውሎስ።

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰እናንተ ሰዎች ሆይ፥ ይህ ጕዞ በጥፋትና በብዙ ጕዳት እንዲሆን አያለሁ፤ ጥፋቱም በገዛ ሕይወታችን ነው እንጂ በጭነቱና በመርከቡ ብቻ አይደለም ብሎ መከራቸው።

¹¹Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹¹የመቶ አለቃው ግን ጳውሎስ ከተናገረው ይልቅ የመርከብ መሪውንና የመርከቡን ባለቤት ያምን ነበር።

¹²And 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 lieth toward the south west and north west.

¹²ያም ወደብ ይከርሙበት ዘንድ የማይመች ስለ ሆነ፥ የሚበዙቱ ቢቻላቸው በሰሜንና በደቡብ ምዕራብ ትይዩ ወዳለው ፍንቄ ወደሚሉት ወደ ቀርጤስ ወደብ ደርሰው ይከርሙ ዘንድ ከዚያ እንዲነሡ መከሩ።

¹³And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

¹³ልከኛም የደቡብ ነፋስ በነፈሰ ጊዜ፥ እንዳሰቡት የሆነላቸው መስሎአቸው ተነሡ በቀርጤስም አጠገብ ጥግ ጥጉን አለፉ።

¹⁴But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

¹⁴ነገር ግን እጅግ ሳይዘገይ አውራቂስ የሚሉት ዓውሎ ነፋስ ከዚያ ወረደባቸው፤

¹⁵And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

¹⁵መርከቡም ተነጥቆ ነፋሱን ሲቃወም መሄድ ስላልቻለ ለቀነው ተነዳን።

¹⁶And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

¹⁶ቄዳ በሚሉአትም ደሴት በተተገንን ጊዜ ታንኳይቱን ለመግዛት በጭንቅ ቻልን፤

¹⁷Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

¹⁷ወደ ላይም ካወጡአት በኋላ መርከቡን በገመድ አስታጥቀው አጸኑ፤ ስርቲስም ወደሚሉት ወደ አሸዋ እንዳይወድቁ ፈርተው ሸራውን አውርደው እንዲሁ ተነዱ።

¹⁸And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

¹⁸ነፋሱም በርትቶ ሲያስጨንቀን በማንግሥቱ ከጭነቱ ወደ ባሕር ይጥሉ ነበር፥

¹⁹And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

¹⁹በሦስተኛውም ቀን የመርከቡን ዕቃ በእጃችን ወረወርን።

²⁰And 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.

²⁰ብዙ ቀንም ፀሐይን ከዋክብትንም ሳናይ ትልቅ ነፋስም ሲበረታብን ጊዜ፥ ወደ ፊት እንድናለን የማለት ተስፋ ሁሉ ተቈረጠ።

²¹But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

²¹ሳይበሉም ብዙ ቀን ከቆዩ በኋላ፥ ያን ጊዜ ጳውሎስ በመካከላቸው ቆሞ እንዲህ አለ። እናንተ ሰዎች ሆይ፥ ሰምታችሁኝ በሆነ ኖሮ ከቀርጤስ እንዳትነሡ ይህንም ጥፋትና ጕዳት እንዳታገኙ ይገባችሁ ነበር።

²²And 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.

²²አሁንም። አይዞአችሁ ብዬ እመክራችኋለሁ፤ ይህ መርከብ እንጂ ከእናንተ አንድ ነፍስ እንኳ አይጠፋምና።

²³For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

²³የእርሱ የምሆንና ደግሞ የማመልከው የእግዚአብሔር መልአክ በዚች ሌሊት በአጠገቤ ቆሞ ነበርና፥ እርሱም።

²⁴Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

²⁴ጳውሎስ ሆይ፥ አትፍራ፤ በቄሣር ፊት ልትቆም ይገባሃል፤ እነሆም፥ እግዚአብሔር ከአንተ ጋር የሚሄዱትን ሁሉ ሰጥቶሃል አለኝ።

²⁵Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

²⁵ስለዚህ እናንተ ሰዎች ሆይ፥ አይዞአችሁ፤ እንደ ተናገረኝ እንዲሁ እንዲሆን እግዚአብሔርን አምናለሁና።

²⁶Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

²⁶ነገር ግን ወደ አንዲት ደሴት እንድንወድቅ ያስፈልገናል።

²⁷But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

²⁷በአሥራ አራተኛውም ሌሊት በአድርያ ባሕር ወዲህና ወዲያ ስንነዳ፥ መርከበኞች በእኩለ ሌሊት ወደ አንድ ምድር የቀረቡ መሰላቸው።

²⁸And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

²⁸መለኪያ ገመድም ቢጥሉ ሀያ በሰው ቁመት አገኙ ጥቂትም ቆይተው ሁለተኛ ቢጥሉ አሥራ አምስት በሰው ቁመት አገኙ፤

²⁹Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

²⁹ድንጋያማም ወደ ሆነ ስፍራ እንዳይወድቁ ፈርተው፥ ከመርከቡ በስተኋላ አራት መልሕቅ አወረዱ፥ ቀንም እንዲሆን ተመኙ።

³⁰And as the shipmen 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 foreship,

³⁰መርከበኞቹም ከመርከቡ ይሸሹ ዘንድ ፈልገው ከመርከቡ በስተ ፊት መልሕቅ መጣል እንዳላቸው አመካኝተው ታንኳይቱን ወደ ባሕር ባወረዱ ጊዜ፥

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

³¹ጳውሎስ ለመቶ አለቃውና ለወታደሮቹ። እነዚህ በመርከቡ ካልቆዩ እናንተ ትድኑ ዘንድ አትችሉም አላቸው።

³²Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

³²ያን ጊዜ ወታደሮቹ የታንኳይቱን ገመድ ቈርጠው ትወድቅ ዘንድ ተዉአት።

³³And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

³³ቀንም ሲነጋ ጳውሎስ ምግብ ይበሉ ዘንድ ሁሉን ይለምን ነበር፥ እንዲህም አላቸው። እየጠበቃችሁ ምንም ሳትቀበሉ ጦማችሁን ከሰነበታችሁ ዛሬ አሥራ አራተኛ ቀናችሁ ነው።

³⁴Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

³⁴ሰለዚህ ምግብ ትበሉ ዘንድ እለምናችኋለሁ፤ ይህ ለደኅንነታችሁ ይሆናልና፤ ከእናንተ ከአንዱ የራስ ጠጕር እንኳ አትጠፋምና።

³⁵And 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.

³⁵ይህንም ብሎ እንጀራን ይዞ በሁሉ ፊት እግዚአብሔርን አመሰገነ ቈርሶም ይበላ ዘንድ ጀመረ።

³⁶Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

³⁶ሁለም ተጽናንተው ራሳቸው ደግሞ ምግብ ተቀበሉ።

³⁷And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

³⁷በመርከቡም ያለን ሁላችን ሁለት መቶ ሰባ ስድስት ነፍስ ነበርን።

³⁸And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

³⁸በልተውም በጠገቡ ጊዜ ስንዴውን ወደ ባሕር እየጣሉ መርከቡን አቃለሉት።

³⁹And 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.

³⁹በነጋም ጊዜ ምድሩን አላወቁትም፥ ነገር ግን የአሸዋ ዳር ያለውን የባሕር ስርጥ ተመለከቱ፥ ቢቻላቸውም መርከቡን ወደዚያ ይገፉ ዘንድ ቈረጡ።

⁴⁰And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

⁴⁰መልሕቆቹንም ፈትተው በባሕር ተዉአቸው፥ ያን ጊዜም የመቅዘፊያውን ማሠሪያ ፈቱት፤ ታናሹንም ሸራ ለነፋስ ከፍ አድርገው ወደ ዳር አቅንተው ይሄዱ ዘንድ ጀመሩ።

⁴¹And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

⁴¹ነገር ግን ሁለት ባሕር በተገናኙበት ስፍራ ወድቀው መርከቡን በዲብ ላይ ነዱ፤ በስተ ፊቱም ተተክሎ የማይነቃነቅ ሆነ፥ በስተ ኋላው ግን ከማዕበሉ ግፊያ የተነሣ ይሰበር ነበር።

⁴²And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

⁴²ወታደሮቹም ከእስረኞች አንድ ስንኳ ዋኝቶ እንዳያመልጥ ይገድሉአቸው ዘንድ ተማከሩ።

⁴³But 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:

⁴³የመቶ አለቃው ግን ጳውሎስን ያድነው ዘንድ አስቦ ምክራቸውን ከለከለ፤ ዋና የሚያውቁትም ከመርከብ ራሳቸውን እየወረወሩ አስቀድመው ወደ ምድር ይወጡ ዘንድ፥

⁴⁴And 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.

⁴⁴የቀሩትም እኵሌቶቹ በሳንቃዎች ላይ እኵሌቶቹም በመርከቡ ስባሪ ይወጡ ዘንድ አዘዘ። እንዲሁም ሁሉ በደኅና ወደ ምድር ደረሱ።
