¹When 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 Waato kaŋ saawara tabbat kaŋ iri ga furo hi ra ka koy Italiya, i na Bulos da kas'ize fooyaŋ daŋ Romey sooje jama kaŋ se i ga ne Agustos* sooje jina funa kambe ra, kaŋ maa Yuliyos.

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

² Kaŋ iri furo Adramatiya hi fo ra, kaŋ ga ba ka Aziya laabu casu, kal iri sintin ka dira. Aristarkos mo, Tassalonika kwaara, Masidoniya laabu boro no, go iri banda.

³The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

³ A wane suba iri kaa ka to Zidon. Yuliyos mo rongome Bulos se. A yadda Bulos ma koy nga corey do, zama a ma du gaakasinay.

⁴Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁴ Iri tun noodin, iri gana Kubrus gungo lambanta, zama hawo goono g'iri ganji.

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

⁵ Waato kaŋ iri na Silisiya da Bamfiliya laabo jarga teeko daŋandi, iri kaa Mira, Lisiya laabu.

⁶There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

⁶ Noodin sooje jine funa du Iskandariya hi fo kaŋ goono ga koy Italiya k'iri daŋ a ra.

⁷When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

⁷ Iri te jirbiyaŋ iri goono ga dira moso-moso, kala da cat no iri du ka to Kinidos. Hawo day n'iri ganji jina koyyaŋ kal iri casu Karita gungo banda kaŋ ga maan Salmoni.

⁸With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁸ Iri go ga gana a jabo gaa da cat, hal iri to nangu fo kaŋ se i ga ne Fandiyaŋ Do Hanna, kaŋ ga maan Laseya kwaara.

⁹When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

⁹ Sohõ binde alwaati boobo sara, dirawo mo gonda kataru, zama sohõ baa Yahudancey mehawo* zaaro bisa. Woodin sabbay se no Bulos n'i yaamar

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

¹⁰ ka ne: «Hay, ay borey, ay diyaŋo gaa dirawo wo ga te hasaraw da mursay boobo, kaŋ manti hiyo da jinayey hinne gaa bo, amma hala baa iri fundey.»

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 Amma sooje jine funa hangan hi funkwa da hikoyo se ka bisa haŋ kaŋ Bulos ci.

¹²Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.

¹² Woodin banda mo, nango mana hima hi ma jaw a ra. Kala borey baayaŋ soobay ka kande saaware i ma tun noodin, mate kaŋ no kulu day, i ma hin ka to Finiska ka jawo te noodin. Karita gungo fandiyaŋ do no kaŋ ga azawa da dandi kambe guna, wayna kaŋa do haray.

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

¹³ Waato kaŋ hawo faaru dandi kambe hara moso-moso, i ho hala ngey du wo kaŋ ngey ga ba. I na hi kanjeyo candi ka Karita gungo gana k'a jabo lambanta casu.

¹⁴But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon. Or, “a northeaster.”

¹⁴ Amma a mana baa gay kayna kala day haw gaabikooni fo, kaŋ se i ga ne Yurokalidon, fun gungo do haray.

¹⁵When the ship was caught, and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.

¹⁵ Kaŋ hawo na hiyo kar, hala hiyo boŋo si hin k'a do haray guna, kala iri n'a gana, hawo go ga kond'iri.

¹⁶Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

¹⁶ Kaŋ iri gana ka gungu kayna fo mooru kaŋ se i ga ne Kalawda, gaa no iri du ka hin hi kayna.

¹⁷After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

¹⁷ Waato kaŋ i n'a candi ka dake hi beero boŋ, i na dabariyaŋ te ka hi beero windi da korfoyaŋ kaŋ ga naŋ hiyo ma gaabu. I goono ga humburu i ma si koy kaaru Sirtis taaso boŋ. A sabbay se i na hiyo zaarey zumandi, ka hiyo taŋ yaadin.

¹⁸As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

¹⁸ Kaŋ hari hawo goono g'iri teeni gumo, a wane suba borey sintin ka jinayey kaŋ hiyo sambu din catu teeko ra.

¹⁹On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

¹⁹ Zaari hinzanta ra iri nd'iri kambey na hiyo goy jinayey sambu ka catu haro ra.

²⁰When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

²⁰ Iri te jirbi boobo kaŋ iri si ga di wayna wala handariyayzey, hari haw bambata mo goono g'iri kar, kal iri na laakal kaa faaba gaa.

²¹When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

²¹ Waato kaŋ i gay i mana ŋwa, kala Bulos kay i game ra ka ne: «To, ay borey, d'araŋ maa ay sanno, doŋ araŋ si tun Karita gungo do, hal araŋ ma furo hasaraw da mursay wo ra.

²²Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

²² Day sohõ, ay g'araŋ yaamar, wa te bine-gaabi, zama boro kulu si mursu nga fundo araŋ ra, kala hiyo hinne.

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

²³ Zama bi cin Irikoy, kaŋ ay ya a wane no, kaŋ se ay goono ga may mo, a malayka no kay ay jarga.

²⁴saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

²⁴ A ne: ‹Ma si humburu, Bulos. Daahir ni ga kay Kaysar jine. Guna mo, Irikoy yadda ni se mo ni diraw hangasiney kulu ma du ka fatta.›

²⁵Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

²⁵ Ya alborey, woodin sabbay se, araŋ ma te bine-gaabi, zama ay ga Irikoy cimandi: mate kaŋ a ci ay se din boŋ, yaadin no a ga bara.

²⁶But we must run aground on a certain island.”

²⁶ Amma daahir no, i g'iri catu gungu fo boŋ.»

²⁷But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.

²⁷ Amma waato kaŋ cin way cindi taacanta to, kaŋ hawo goono ga kond'iri Andariya teeko ra, cino farsi bindo, kala hi goy-teerey ho hal iri maan laabu fo no.

²⁸They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. 20 fathoms = 120 feet = 36.6 meters After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms. 15 fathoms = 90 feet = 27.4 meters

²⁸ Kal i na haro guusuyaŋo neesi, i di a to gande waranka. I bisa ka koy jina kayna ka neesi koyne. I di kaŋ gande way cindi gu no.

²⁹Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

²⁹ Za kaŋ i goono ga humburu iri ma si koy ka kaaru tondiyaŋ boŋ, i na hi kanje taaci zumandi ka taŋ haro ra hiyo banda ka laakal dake mo boyaŋ gaa.

³⁰As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,

³⁰ Hi goy-teerey goono ga daama ceeci ngey ma zuru ka hi beero naŋ, hal i na hi kayna zumandi haro ra. I goono ga alhaali cabe sanda ngey ga ba ngey ma hi kanje fooyaŋ zumandi haro ra hiyo boŋo do haray.

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

³¹ Kala Bulos ne sooje jine funa da soojey se: «Hala day borey wo mana goro hiyo ra, to, kulu araŋ si hin ka du faaba.»

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

³² Gaa no soojey na hi kayna korfey dumbu ka hiyo taŋ.

³³While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

³³ Waato kaŋ mo ga ba ka bo, Bulos na ikulu ŋwaaray ka ne i ma ŋwa. A ne i se: «Hunkuna ga ti zaari way cindi taacanta kaŋ araŋ goono ga goro ka batandi, araŋ goono ga mehaw mo, araŋ mana hay kulu ŋwa.

³⁴Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”

³⁴ Woodin sabbay se ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, araŋ ma ŋwa araŋ gaaham baano se, zama araŋ ra baa boro folloŋ boŋ hamn'ize si halaci.»

³⁵When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.

³⁵ Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci no, nga bumbo na buuru sambu ka Irikoy saabu borey kulu jine. A na buuro ceeri ka soobay ka ŋwa.

³⁶Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

³⁶ Gaa no ikulu du bine-gaabi, ngey mo na ŋwaari ŋwa.

³⁷In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.

³⁷ Iri boro zangu hinka nda wayye cindi iddu no ka bara hiyo ra.

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

³⁸ Waato kaŋ i ŋwa ka kungu, i na alkama taŋ teeko ra ka hiyo tiŋa zabu.

³⁹When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

³⁹ Waato kaŋ mo bo, i mana laabo bay, amma i na batama fo fonnay jabo gaa haray kaŋ gonda taasi. I ne hala ngey ga hin ngey ma to nda hiyo taaso boŋ.

⁴⁰Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

⁴⁰ I na hiyo kanjey korfey feeri ka kaa a gaa k'i naŋ haro ra. Alwaato din ra mo i goono ga hiyo bareyaŋ korfa feeri. I goono ga hiyo zaarey kaŋ go boŋo gaa jina tunandi k'i feeri hawo karay haray, gaa no i du ka koy jabo gaa haray.

⁴¹But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

⁴¹ Amma kaŋ iri to naŋ kaŋ hari hinka ga care kubay, noodin haro na hiyo sambu ka kond'a taaso boŋ. Hi boŋo fiji hal a si miri, banda mo sintin ka ceeri-ceeri bondayey gaabo sabbay se.

⁴²The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

⁴² Soojey binde ne ngey ma kas'izey kulu wi, zama i ma si du ka zi ka yana.

⁴³But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;

⁴³ Amma sooje jine funa, kaŋ a ga ba nga ma Bulos faaba se, n'i saawara kaa. A na borey kaŋ yaŋ ga waani hari kulu lordi ka ne i ma sar ka jippo haro ra ka zi ka koy jabo gaa.

⁴⁴and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.

⁴⁴ Borey kaŋ cindi mo, jare ma koy kataakuyaŋ boŋ, jare mo hi zanjarmey boŋ. Yaadin no i te hal ikulu du ka to jabo gaa baani samay.
