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.

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 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.

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 treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and 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 putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of 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 across the sea which is off 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 for 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 were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of 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 with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called 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.

⁹And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, 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 the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the 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.»

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.

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 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.

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, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

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

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 face the wind, we gave way [to it,] and were driven.

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

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

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.

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

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 they cast out with their 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 shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us,] all hope that we should be saved was now 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.

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.

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 life among you, but [only] 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 an angel of the God whose I am, whom also 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 stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted 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 so as it hath been spoken unto me.

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

²⁶But 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 to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing 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 they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

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

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.

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 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,

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 away 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 some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue 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 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.

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 said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and 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 themselves also took food.

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, throwing 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 perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

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 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.

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

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].

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, 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;

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