(D)Bwe twasitula, empewo n’etufuluma mu maaso, ne tusaabala ne tuyita ku mabbali ga Kupulo. (E)Bwe twamala okuva mu nnyanja wakati ne tuyita ku lubalama lwa Kirukiya ne Panfuliya, ne tugoba ku mwalo Mula ogw’e Lukiya. (F)Eyo omukulu w’ekitongole n’alabawo ekyombo ekyali kiva mu Alegezanderiya nga kiraga mu Italiya, n’atusaabaza omwo. (G)Twamala ennaku nnyingi ng’ennyanja yeefuukudde, nga tugenda mpola, ne tusemberera olubalama lw’e Kunido mu buzibu bungi naye ne tuteeyongerayo mu maaso ng’omuyaga gutuyitiridde, ne tusala ne tugenda ku luuyi olumu olwa Kuleete nga tuva ku mwalo gwa Salumone. Ne tusaabala mu buzibu bungi ne tuyita ku lubalama okumpi n’ekifo ekiyitibwa Emyalo Emirungi ekiriraanye ekibuga Laseya.

Okulabula kwa Pawulo Kulagajjalirwa

(H)Bwe waayitawo ebbanga ddene, n’obudde nga butandise okwonoonekera ddala, era nga kyakabi okwolekera olugendo, ate era nga n’ekisiibo kyayita dda, Pawulo n’abawa amagezi, 10 (I)ng’agamba nti, “Bassebo, ndaba nti olugendo lujja kubeeramu emitawaana n’okufiirwa kungi, si kwa bintu byokka n’ekyombo, naye n’obulamu bwaffe.” 11 Naye omukulu w’ekitongole n’awalirizibwa okugondera amagezi g’omugoba w’ekyombo ne nannyini kyo okusinga Pawulo bye yayogera. 12 Olw’okubanga omwalo tegwali mulungi okwewogomamu mu kiseera ky’obutiti, abasinga obungi kyebaava basemba eky’okweyongerayo, nga basuubira nti obanga kisoboka tutuuke e Foyiniiki, we baba bamala ekiseera eky’obutiti ku mwalo gwa Kuleete ogwali gutunuulidde obukiikaddyo n’ebugwanjuba, n’obukiikakkono n’ebugwanjuba.

Omuyaga

13 Mu kiseera ekyo empewo n’efuluma mu bukiikaddyo nga nzikakkamu, ne balowooza nti kye baali bagenderera bakifunye ne basikayo ennanga ne bagendera kumpi n’olukalu lwa Kuleete. 14 (J)Naye waali tewannayita bbanga ddene, omuyaga ogw’amaanyi ennyo oguyitibwa Ewulakulo, ne gukunta n’amaanyi mangi nnyo. 15 Ne gufuuwa ekyombo ne kiva mu kkubo lyakyo, ne kitayinza kwolekera muyaga, ne tuguleka ne gututwala nga bwe gwayagala. 16 Oluvannyuma ne tuyita ku mabbali g’akazinga akayitibwa Kawuda, mu kutegana, 17 (K)ne tukwata akaato akeeyambisibwa mu kabenje, ne bakasibira okwo n’emiguwa okwetooloola ekyombo, ne bakanyweza. Olw’okutya nti ekyombo kiyinza okuwagamira mu musenyu gwa Suluti, kyebaava bassa ettanga eddene ne baleka ekyombo ne kitwalibwa omuyaga. 18 (L)Olunaku olwaddirira omuyaga ne gweyongera amaanyi, abalunnyanja ne batandika okusuula mu nnyanja ebintu ebyali mu kyombo. 19 Ne ku lunaku olwokusatu ne bakwata ebintu ebikola ku kyombo ne babisuula mu nnyanja. 20 Ne tumala ennaku nnyingi nga tetulabye ku njuba wadde emunyeenye, gwo omuyaga nga gutuzunza n’amaanyi gaagwo gonna; olwo essuubi lyaffe lyonna ery’okuwona ne lituggweeramu ddala.

Obuvumu bwa Pawulo n’okukkiriza kwe

21 (M)Bwe baamala ebbanga nga n’okulya tebaagala kulya, Pawulo n’alyoka ayimirira wakati mu bo, n’abagamba nti, “Abasajja kyabagwanira okumpuliriza obutava Kuleete, kubanga temwandifiiriddwa byammwe bwe muti awamu n’okulumizibwa! 22 (N)Naye kaakano mugume omwoyo! Kubanga tewali n’omu ajja kufa, wabula ekyombo kyokka kye kijja okuzikirira. 23 (O)Kubanga ekiro ekyayise, malayika wa Katonda wange gwe mpeereza, yayimiridde we ndi, 24 (P)n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Totya, Pawulo, kubanga kikugwanira okuyimirira mu maaso ga Kayisaali owozesebwe, era laba, Katonda akuwadde obuvunaanyizibwa ku abo bonna b’oli nabo mu kyombo.’ 25 (Q)Noolwekyo mugume omwoyo! Kubanga nzikiriza Katonda nga mu ngeri yonna kijja kuba nga bwe kyaŋŋambiddwa. 26 (R)Naye kitugwanidde okusuulibwa ku kizinga.”

Ekyombo Kisaanawo

27 Mu kiro eky’ekkumi n’ebina embuyaga bwe yali etuwuuba eno n’eri mu Nnyanja Aduliya, mu ttumbi abalunnyanja ne bateebereza nti olukalu luli kumpi. 28 Ne bapima ne balaba ng’obuwanvu bw’amazzi okukka wansi buli mita amakumi asatu mu musanvu. Bwe waayitawo akabanga ate ne bapima ne basanga nga mita amakumi abiri mu musanvu. 29 Bwe baatya okutomera enjazi ku lubalama ne basuula ennanga nnya emabega, ne basabirira obudde okukya. 30 (S)Abamu ku balunnyanja ne bateesa okwabulira ekyombo ne bassa akaato akeyambisibwa mu kabenje, nga beefuula ng’abagenda okusuula ennanga mu maaso g’ekyombo. 31 (T)Naye Pawulo n’agamba omukulu w’ekitongole n’abaserikale be nti, “Mwenna temujja kuwona okuggyako ng’abasajja bano basigala ku kyombo.” 32 Awo abaserikale ne basala emiguwa egyali gikutte akato, ne bakaleka ne kagwayo.

33 Awo obudde bwali bunaatera okukya, Pawulo ne yeegayirira buli muntu alye ku mmere, ng’abagamba nti, “Leero lunaku lwa kkumi na nnya nga mulindirira nga temulidde, ate era mukyeyongera obutalya. 34 (U)Noolwekyo mubeeko ke mulya, kubanga ekyo kye kijja okubalokola so tewaabe n’omu ku mmwe anaavibwako luviiri lwe ku mutwe gwe.” 35 (V)Awo Pawulo bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, n’addira omugaati, ne yeebaza Katonda mu maaso gaabwe bonna, n’amenya omugaati n’alya. 36 (W)Amangwago buli omu n’atandika okulya ku mmere. 37 Abaali ku kyombo bonna awamu baali ebikumi bibiri mu nsanvu mu mukaaga. 38 (X)Bonna bwe baamala okulya nga bakkuse, ne basuula eŋŋaano mu nnyanja okwongera okuwewula ku kyombo.

39 (Y)Awo obudde bwe bwakya ne batalaba lukalu naye ne balengera ekikono ky’ennyanja nga kirina ekibangirizi eky’omusenyu ku lubalama, ne baagala bagobye okwo ekyombo. 40 (Z)Ne bakutula ennanga, ne bazireka mu nnyanja, ne basumulula emiguwa egikwata enkasi ne bawanika ettanga ery’omu maaso g’ekyombo empewo eryoke ekitwale mu maaso, ne balyoka boolekera olukalu. 41 (AA)Naye ekyombo ne kyeggunda mu musenyu engezi ebbiri we zaali zisisinkana, ekitundu eky’omu maaso ne kiwagamira mu musenyu nga tekinyeenya, eky’emabega ne kisigala wabweru waggulu, ng’amayengo ag’amaanyi gakikuba, era ne kitandika okumenyekamenyeka.

42 Abaserikale ne bateesa batte abasibe bonna, si kulwa nga bawuga ne batuuka ku lukalu ne babomba. 43 (AB)Naye olwokubanga Yuliyo yayagala okuwonya Pawulo, amagezi ago n’agagaana. Awo n’alagira buli muntu asobola okuwuga awuge alage ku lukalu, 44 (AC)n’abo abatasobola kuwuga bagezeeko okweyambisa ebitundutundu by’embaawo ebyali bimenyese ku kyombo. Awo buli muntu n’atuuka bulungi ku lukalu nga taliiko kamogo.

Paul Sails for Rome

27 When it was decided that we(A) would sail for Italy,(B) Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.(C) We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia,(D) and we put out to sea. Aristarchus,(E) a Macedonian(F) from Thessalonica,(G) was with us.

The next day we landed at Sidon;(H) and Julius, in kindness to Paul,(I) allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.(J) From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.(K) When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia(L) and Pamphylia,(M) we landed at Myra in Lycia. There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship(N) sailing for Italy(O) and put us on board. We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course,(P) we sailed to the lee of Crete,(Q) opposite Salmone. We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement.[a](R) So Paul warned them, 10 “Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”(S) 11 But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship. 12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete,(T) facing both southwest and northwest.

The Storm

13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14 Before very long, a wind of hurricane force,(U) called the Northeaster, swept down from the island. 15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat(V) secure, 17 so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground(W) on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor[b] and let the ship be driven along. 18 We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.(X) 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.

21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice(Y) not to sail from Crete;(Z) then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage,(AA) because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 23 Last night an angel(AB) of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve(AC) stood beside me(AD) 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar;(AE) and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’(AF) 25 So keep up your courage,(AG) men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.(AH) 26 Nevertheless, we must run aground(AI) on some island.”(AJ)

The Shipwreck

27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic[c] Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land. 28 They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet[d] deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet[e] deep. 29 Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight. 30 In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat(AK) down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow. 31 Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”(AL) 32 So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.

33 Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. “For the last fourteen days,” he said, “you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven’t eaten anything. 34 Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”(AM) 35 After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it(AN) and began to eat. 36 They were all encouraged(AO) and ate some food themselves. 37 Altogether there were 276 of us on board. 38 When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.(AP)

39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach,(AQ) where they decided to run the ship aground if they could. 40 Cutting loose the anchors,(AR) they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach. 41 But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.(AS)

42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping. 43 But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life(AT) and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land. 44 The rest were to get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.(AU)
