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.

¹But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.

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 going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

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

³And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself.

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

⁴And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

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

⁵And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in 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, he made us go on board her.

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 sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;

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

⁸and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near 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 having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,

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, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.

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

¹¹But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said 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 harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.

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 [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.

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

¹⁴But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.

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

¹⁵And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven [before it].

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.

¹⁶But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves 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 hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.

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

¹⁸But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,

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

¹⁹and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.

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 many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.

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 when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.

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 courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.

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

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

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

²⁴saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail 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 courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

²⁶ Waaye war nanoo luf cib dun.»

²⁶But we must be cast ashore on a certain island.

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 was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared 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 found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again 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 we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were 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.

³⁰But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,

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

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

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

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

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 while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.

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 exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.

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

³⁵And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.

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

³⁶And all taking courage, themselves also took food.

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

³⁷And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.

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

³⁸And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out 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 it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;

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

⁴⁰and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

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 falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.

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

⁴²And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and 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, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on 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 on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
