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.

¹And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,

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.

²and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

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

³on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit [him], having gone on unto friends, to receive [their] care.

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

⁴And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

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

⁵and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,

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

⁶and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

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.

⁷and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

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

⁸and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,` nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea.

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:

⁹And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous — because of the fast also being already past — Paul was admonishing,

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.»

¹⁰saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives — the voyage is about to be;`

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

¹¹but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

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.

¹²and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, [there] to winter, [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

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.

¹³and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

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

¹⁴and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

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

¹⁵and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on,

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.

¹⁶and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,

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.

¹⁷which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast — so were borne on.

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

¹⁸And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,

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

¹⁹and on the third [day] with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

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.

²⁰and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

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.

²¹And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved [you], indeed, O men — having hearkened to me — not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;

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

²²and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you — but of the ship;

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

²³for there stood by me this night a messenger of God — whose I am, and whom I serve —

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

²⁴saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

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

²⁵wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,

²⁶ Waaye war nanoo luf cib dun.»

²⁶and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.`

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.

²⁷And when the fourteenth night came — we being borne up and down in the Adria — toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;

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

²⁸and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,

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

²⁹and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.

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

³⁰And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as [if] out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,

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

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship — ye are not able to be saved;`

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

³²then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.

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.

³³And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing,

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

³⁴wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;`

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

³⁵and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;

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

³⁶and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,

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

³⁷(and we were — all the souls in the ship — two hundred, seventy and six),

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

³⁸and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.

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.

³⁹And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,

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

⁴⁰and the anchors having taken up, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time — having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind — they were making for the shore,

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.

⁴¹and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves.

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

⁴²And the soldiers` counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,

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.

⁴³but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first — to get unto 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.

⁴⁴and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
