¹And when 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.

¹Huan, Itali gama longa pai ding thu a hihpuk tak un, Paula leh henta dang kuate hiam Awgasta pawla mi sepaih zaheutu a min Julia a kemsak ua.

²And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

²Huan, Adramitiam kho long, Asia gam tuipi piau a kho omte tawn ding ah, ka tuang ua, tuipi ah ka paita uhi; Masidonia gama mi Aristarkha, Thessalonika khua mi, ka kiang uah a oma.

³And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.

³Huan, a jingin Sidon khua ka tawn ua. Huan, Juliain Paula a limbawl ngiala, kihihhalh dingin a lawmte kiangah a pawtsaka.

⁴And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁴Huan, huai akipanin tuipi ah ka pai nawn ua, huihin a hilou lama honsawn hiakin Kupra tuikulh jul huih hatlouhna lam ah ka tai ua.

⁵And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.

⁵Huan, Silisia gam leh Pamphilia gam jul tuipi ka khen nung un, Lidia gama Mira khua ka tung ua.

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

⁶Huaiah sepaih zaheutupan Aleksandria kho long Itali gam tawn ding a mu a; huaiah a hontuangsak a.

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

⁷Huan, ni tampi tak awlawlin ka pai ua, Knida kho jawn haksapiin ka tung teitei ua, huihin hon sawnkik jiakin Salmoni juanin Krit tuikulh jul huih hatlouhna lamah ka tai ua.

⁸and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁸Huan, haksatakin tui geigei ah ka pai ua, long khawlna kilawm a chih mun uh ka tungta ua; huai kiangah Lasia khua a om hi.

⁹And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

⁹Huan, ni tampi a beitak jiakin leh, longa pai a lauhuai jiakin, (An Ngawl Ni a khengta ngala), Paulain amau a thuhilha, a kiang uah,

¹⁰and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

¹⁰Pute aw, longa tua pai siatna leh manthatna thupitak tung ding ahi chih ka theia, a sum leh long tungah kia ka chi kei, eimah tungah kia ka chi ahi, a chi a.

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.

¹¹Himahleh, sepaih zaheutuin Paula thugen sangin longpu leh long neipa thu a ging jawa.

¹²And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there; which is] a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.

¹²Huan, phalbi douna dingin longkhawlna a ginat louh jiakin a tamjawin, huai akipana tuipi a pai khiaka, Phinisi khua tun teiteia, huailaia phalbi dou a sawmpih ua; Phinisi tuh Krit tuikulha longkhawlna khat ahi, mal sak leh sim sak lam ahi a.

¹³And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

¹³Huan, sim huih awlawla a hongnun takin, a deihlam uh mu a kisa ua, sikkip a khai khia ua, Krit tuikulh gei juljul ah ka pai uhi.

¹⁴But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

¹⁴Himahleh, sawtlou chik nungin gam lam akipanin huih hattak a hongnung sukta a, huai huih tuh Euroklidon a chi jel uhi.

¹⁵and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it,] and were driven.

¹⁵Huan, long a honsawnkhata a, huihlam a ngat theihlouhtakin ka khahta ua, honmut leng honmut lengta a.

¹⁶And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

¹⁶Huan, a min Klauda tuikulh neuchik petmah pansanin huih hatlouhna lamah ka tai ua, haksatakin long neu tuh ka bitsak thei geigei ua;

¹⁷and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

¹⁷Huan, a kaihkhiak nung un panpihna khaute khawng a zang ua, long nuailam ah a vial ua, a khih ua, huan, puanjakna bangkim a puksak ua, huchilouin jaw Sirti a lenlut a lau ua, huchiin a honmut leng a honmut lengta hi.

¹⁸And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the [the freight] overboard;

¹⁸Huan, a jingin, tuikihawtin honsep ek jiakin, longa van khawng tui lakah a paikhe panta ua.

¹⁹and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

¹⁹Huan, a jing nawnin amau khut ngeiin long van a paikhe nawnta uhi.

²⁰And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us,] all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

²⁰Huan, ni tampi, nil eng, aksi leng a kimu keia, huihpi petmahin honnuaia, hin himhim ka lamen nawnta kei uhi.

²¹And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

²¹Huan, an ne loua sawttak a om nung un, Paula a lak uah a dinga, Pute aw, Krit tuikulha phel loua, ka thu man a, hiai siat leh manthatna tun louh ding hina jena.

²²And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.

²²Himahleh, tunah leng khamuangtaka om dingin kon hasuan ahi; na lak uah kuamahin henna na mangsak kei ding uh, long jaw a mangthang ding.

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

²³Amah Pathiana ka hih, a na leng ka sep, amah angel tuh tujanin ka kiangah a hongdinga, ka kiangah,

²⁴saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.

²⁴Paula, lau ken, Kaisar maah na ding ding; huan, ngai in, longa na kianga pai tengteng leng Pathianin a honpia hi, honchi ahi.

²⁵Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.

²⁵Huaijiakin, Pute aw, khamuangtakin om un, Pathian ka gingta hi, honhilh bangbangin a om ding.

²⁶But we must be cast upon a certain island.

²⁶Himahleh, bang tuikulh hiam ah honlenkhe ding ahi, a chi a.

²⁷But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:

²⁷Huan, Adria tuipi ah huihin lehlam lehlam ag a honmutleng a honmut lenga, jan sawm leh jan li a chin janin, janlai hiamin, long miten koi gam hiam tung dekin a kithei ua;

²⁸and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

²⁸Huchiin, tui thukdan a the ua, lam sawmnihin a thei ua, huan, sawtlou chikin a teh nawn ua, lam sawm lem lam ngain a thei ua.

²⁹And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

²⁹Huan, longmeilam ah sikkip li a khia ua, huchilouin jaw suang se munah honlenkhe zenzen kha ding, chih, a lau ua; huan khovak kal a ngaklahta uhi.

³⁰And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,

³⁰Huan, longmiten long malama sikkipte kikhiak ding bawl khempeuhin, long neu tuh tuipi ah a khia ua, long taisan a tum ua.

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

³¹Hiai lain Paulain, sepaih zaheutu leh sepaihte kiangah, hiaite longa om gige kei uleh bit kei nuteh, a chi a.

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

³²Huchiin, sepaihten longneu khaute a attat ua, a khahta uhi.

³³And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

³³Huan, khovak kuanin, Paulain an ne dingin mi tengteng a sawla, tuni ni sawm leh li a hita, bangmah ne louin na ngak ua, na ngawl nilouh uhi.

³⁴Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.

³⁴Huaijiakin, an ne dingin ka honsawl chiat ahi; na damna ding uhi; na lak uah kuamah a samzang khat leng a mangthang kei ding, a chi a.

³⁵And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.

³⁵Huan, huai thu a gen khitin tanghou a la a, mi tengteng maah Pathian kiangah kipahthu a genta a; huan, a balkhama, a ne panta hi.

³⁶Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.

³⁶Huan, amau leng khamuang takin a om ua, an a ne samta uh.

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

³⁷Huan, long a mi tuh ka vek un za nih leh sawmsagih leh guk ka hi ua.

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

³⁸Huan, an a nek kham khit un, buh tuh tuipi ah a pai ua, long a hihjang deuh uhi.

³⁹And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

³⁹Huan, ni a suahin, koilai gamahia chih a theikei ua; himahleh, koilai longkhawlna hiam piautak nei khat a mu ua, huai tungah, a hih theih uleh, long taikhiak sak a tum uhi.

⁴⁰And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

⁴⁰Huan, sikkip khihnate a attat ua, tuipi ah a nusia ua; tua lai mahin kaihheina khihnate a phel ua, malam puanjak tuh huih mut ding danin a kaitou ua; piautak a juanta uhi.

⁴¹But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].

⁴¹Himahleh, tuikihawt khauh nih kituahna munah ka lutkha zenzen ua, long tuh lei a susakta ua; huchiin, long malam a tang bikbekta a, hihtat zoh louhin a oma, a meilam bel tuikihawt a hat jiakin a kek gawp panta hi. 4

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

⁴²Huan, sepaihten hentate hihlup a sawm ua, huchilouin jaw tui liau galkai khattou a om kha ding ua, a taimang kha ding uh chih a lau ua.

⁴³But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;

⁴³Himahleh, sepaih zaheutuin Paula humhing a uta, a thiltup uh a kham a; tuiliau siam peuhmah tuipi ah tawm khiaka gam nakaimasak ding leh,mi dang, a khen singpek tung khawnga, a khen long van tung khawnga galkai dingin thu a pia hi. Huchiin, a vek un gamah bittakin a galkai vekta uhi.

⁴⁴and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.

⁴⁴mi dang, a khen singpek tung khawnga, a khen long van tung khawnga galkai dingin thu a pia hi. Huchiin, a vek un gamah bittakin a galkai vekta uhi.
