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.

¹ Bi loolu wéyee ñu fas yéene noo dugal gaal jëme réewu Itali. Noonu ñu jël Pool ak ñeneen ñi ñu tëjoon, dénk leen njiitu xare bu tudd Yulyus, mi bokk ci mbooloom xare mu buur.

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.

² Nu dugg ca gaalu dëkku Adaramit guy taxaw ci teeruy Asi, daldi tàbbi ci biir géej; te Aristàrk, mi dëkk Tesalonig ci diiwaanu Maseduwan, ànd ak nun.

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.

³ Ca ëllëg sa nu teer Sidon; Yulyus laabiir ci Pool, may ko mu dem ci ay xaritam, ngir ñu ganale ko.

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

⁴ Bi nu fa jógee, nu dem ci biir géej, leru dunu Sipar ci fegu ngelaw li, ndaxte ngelaw li da noo soflu.

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

⁵ Nu jàll géej, gi janook diiwaani Silisi ak Pamfili, teersi Mira ca wàlli Lisi.

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

⁶ Foofa nag njiit la gis gaal gu jóge Alegsàndiri, jëm Itali, mu dugal nu ca.

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;

⁷ Noonu nuy dem ndànk diirub fan yu bare, ba janook Kanidd ci kaw coono bu réy; te ndegam ngelaw li mayu nu, nu jëm kanam, nu leru dunu Kereet ci fegu ngelaw li, janook Salmon.

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

⁸ Nu romb fa ak coono yu bare, agsi ca bérab bu ñuy wax Teeru yu neex, te dend ak dëkku Lase.

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

⁹ Fekk booba yàggoon nañu ca yoon wa, te dem ci géej daldi aaytal, ndaxte jamonoy Kooru Yawut ya wees na. Moo tax Pool digal leen ne:

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.

¹⁰ «Gaa ñi, gis naa ne, tukki bi ëmb na musiba ak kasara ju bare, waxuma gaal gi ak li mu yeb waaye sunuy bakkan sax xaj na ci.»

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

¹¹ Waaye njiit la sobental waxi Pool, déggal dawalkat ba ak boroom gaal ga.

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.

¹² Te gannaaw teeru ba neexul a lollikoo, ña ca ëpp mànkoo ci jóge fa, dem ci biir géej, ngir wut a agsi Fenigsë, biy teerub dunu Kereet te janook sowu suuf ak sowu kaw, nu lollikoo fa.

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

¹³ Noonu bi ngelaw lu woyof liy jóge sudd wolee, ñu defe ne, man nañoo sottal seen pexe, ñu wëgg diigal, daldi tafu ci dunu Kereet.

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

¹⁴ Waaye nes tuuti ngelaw lu wole penku, ñu di ko wax «Ërakilon,» jóge ca dun ba, ne milib ci sunu kaw.

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

¹⁵ Mu ëpp doole gaal ga, daldi ko wat, ba nu bayliku, daldi yal.

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

¹⁶ Nu daldi daw, leru dun bu tuuti bu ñuy wax Kóda ci fegu ngelaw, rawale looco ga ci kaw gaal ga ak coono bu bare.

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.

¹⁷ Bi ñu ko yéegee, ñu fab ay buum, ngir laxas ca taatu gaal ga, ngir ragal a daanu ci suuf su nooy su ñuy wax Sirt; ba noppi ñu daldi sànni diigal, ngir wàññi doxub gaal ga, nuy yale noonu.

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

¹⁸ Waaye bi nu ngelaw li sonalee bu metti, ca ëllëg sa ñu sànni la gaal ga yeboon ca géej ga.

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

¹⁹ Te ca ñetteelu fan ba, ñu sànni ak seeni loxo jumtukaay, yi ñu yeboon ngir fàggu.

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.

²⁰ Noonu jant bi ne meŋŋ te biddiiw ne mes ay fan yu bare, fekk ba tey ngelaw li di wol ak doole, ba sunu yaakaaru mucc gépp tas.

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.

²¹ Bi loolu di xew, fekk gëj nañoo lekk, Pool daldi taxaw ci seen biir ne leen: «Gaa ñi, li gënoon mooy ngeen déglu ma te bañ a jóge Kereet, ba indil seen bopp musiba ak kasara ju réy jii.

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.

²² Léegi nag maa ngi leen di dénk, ngeen takk seen fit, ndax gaal gi rekk mooy yàqu, waaye kenn ci yéen du dee.

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

²³ Ndaxte ci guddi menn malaaka dikkal na ma, jóge ci Yàlla sama Boroom, bi may jaamu.

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

²⁴ Mu ne ma: “Pool bul tiit; fàww nga taxaw ci kanamu Sesaar, te yaa tax Yàllay aar bakkani ñi nga àndal ñépp.”

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

²⁵ Moo tax gaa ñi, takkleen seen fit, ndax wóolu naa Yàlla ne, li mu ma wax, dina am.

²⁶Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

²⁶ Waaye war nanoo luf cib dun.»

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;

²⁷ Ca fukkeelu guddi ga ak ñeent nu nga doon jayaŋ-jayaŋi ca géeju Adiratig; noonu ca xaaju guddi dawalkati gaal ga defe ne, danu jegesi suuf.

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

²⁸ Ñu sànni nattukaay ba ci biir géej, mu jàpp ñeent-fukki meetar, dem ca kanam tuuti, sànniwaat ko, jàpp fanweeri meetar.

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

²⁹ Ñu ragal ne, dinañu fenqu ci ay xeer, kon ñu daldi sànni ñeenti diigal ci geenu gaal ga, di ñaan bët set.

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,

³⁰ Waaye ci kaw loolu dawalkati gaal ga taafantaloo sànniji ay diigal ca boppu gaal ga, fekk dañuy fexee jël looco ga, ba raw.

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

³¹ Waaye Pool ne njiit la ak xarekat ya: «Bu ñii desul ci gaal gi, dungeen raw.»

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

³² Noonu xarekat ya dagg buum, yay téye looco ga, bàyyi ko mu wéy.

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.

³³ Bi bët setagul, Pool sant leen ñu lekk; mu ne leen: «Tey mooy seen fukki fan ak ñeent yu ngeen ne jonn, lekkuleen, mosuleen dara.

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.

³⁴ Maa ngi leen di sant nag, ngeen lekk, ndax noonu rekk ngeen man a rawe. Ndax genn kawar du rot ci yéen.»

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.

³⁵ Bi mu waxee loolu, mu fab mburu, sant Yàlla ci kanamu ñépp, damm ko, daldi ko lekk.

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

³⁶ Bi ñu gisee loolu, ñépp dëgëraat, ñu daldi lekk ñoom itam.

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

³⁷ Mboolem ñi nekkoon ca gaal ga mat na ñaari téeméeri nit ak juróom-ñaar-fukk ak juróom-benn.

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

³⁸ Noonu ñu lekk ba suur, daldi sànni pepp ma ca géej ga, ngir woyofal gaal ga.

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.

³⁹ Bi bët setee nag, xàmmiwuñu réew ma, waaye séen nañu ruqu tefes. Noonu ñu fas yéene caa teeral gaal ga, bu ñu ko manee.

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.

⁴⁰ Ñu dagg diigal ya, bàyyi leen ci biir géej, yiwiwaale baar ba; ba noppi firi wiiru kanam ga, jublu ca tefes ga.

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.

⁴¹ Waaye ñu dal ca tundu suuf ca bérab bu ñaari koroŋ daje, gaal ga daldi fa luf. Boppu gaal ga nuur bu baax, ne fa tekk, te dooley duus ya daldi toj geen ba.

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

⁴² Bi loolu amee xarekat ya bëgg a rey ñi ñu tëj, ngir ragal ñenn ñi féey, ba raw.

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:

⁴³ Waaye njiit la bëgg a musal Pool, mu tere leen pexe ma. Mu sant ñi man a féey, ñu jëkk a sóobu ca ndox ma, ba jot tefes ga.

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.

⁴⁴ Mu sant ñi ci des ñu def noonu, langaamu ci ay dénk, mbaa ca tojiti gaal ga. Noonu ñépp jot tefes ga ci jàmm ak salaam.
