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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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.

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

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,

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁶Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

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;

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;

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.

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

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.

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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.
