Matendo ya Mitume 27:4-40

⁴Kuhoma api tokalota mu bahari twasafiri kusyongoka kisiwa kya Kipro ambakyo kya k'engibhu ni m'pongo, kwa ndabha m'pongo utusumbuleghe.

⁵Baada jha kusafiri mmasi kalibu ni Kilikia ni Pamfilia, tukahida Mira, mji bhwa Lisia.

⁶Pala jhola afisa ghwa jeshi lya Kiroma, ajhikolili meli kuhoma Alexandria ambajho jhilondeghe kusafiri kulota Italia. Akatukwesya mugati.

⁷Baada jha kusafiri molimoli kwa magono mingi ni hatimaye twfikili kwa tabu karibu ni Kinidas, m'pongo ghwa turuhusuili lepi kabhele kulota njela ejhu hivyo twasafiri mundemandema jha kivuli kya Krete khoni twikikenga mp'ongo, mkabala ni Salmone.

⁸Twasafiri mundemandem jha pwani kwa ukakatafu, mpaka tukafika mahali papakutibhu Fari Haveni ambajho ijhele karibu ni mji bhwa Lasi.

⁹Twatolili muda umelele muni, ni muda bhwa mfungo ghwa Kiyahudi ghwajhele umalikupea kabhele, na henu jhajhele ni hatari kujhendelela kusafiri. Hivyo Paulo akatuonya,

¹⁰ni kujobha, “Bhagosi, nibhona safari jha twilonda kulota ejhe ni madhara ni hasara simehele, siyo tu jha misighu ni meli, lakini ni jha maisha gha jhotu.”

¹¹Lakini afisa ghwa jeshi la Kiroma akampelekesya zaidi bwana ghwa muene ni mmiliki ghwa meli, kuliko mambo ghala ghaghalongelibhu ni Paulo.

¹²Kwandabha bandari jhajhelepi sehemu rahisi kutama wakati bhwa mepu, mabaharia bhingi bhashauriri tusafiriajhi kuhoma pala, ili kwa namna jhejhioha tubhwesiajhi kubhufikila mji bhwa Foinike, tutamayi pala bhwakati bhwa mepu. Foinike ndo bandari okhu Krete, na jhilola kaskazini mashariki ni kusini mashariki.

¹³Mp'ongo ghwa kusini bho bhujhendili kubhuma molimoli, mabaharia bhakafikirira kujha bhamalili kukabha kya bhakilondeghe. Bhakajhonja nanga ni kusafiri mundemandema jha Krete karibu ni pwani.

¹⁴Lakini baada jha muda mfupi mp'ongo n'kali, bhwabhukutibhweghe bhwa kaskazini mashariki, ukajhanda kututobha kuhoma kwiselya jha kisiwa.

¹⁵Wakati meli ijhelemibhu ni kushindwa kubhukali mp'ongo, tukajhedekelana ni hali ejhu, tukasafirisibhwa nabhu.

¹⁶Tukajhumba kup'etela lubhafu lwa luukingighe mp'ongo bhwa kisiwa kyakikutibhweghe Kauda; ni kwa taabu sana twafanikibhu kuokola bhwatu.

¹⁷Baada jha kujha bhabhufutili, bhatumili ngojhi kuuk'onga meli. Bhatileghe kujha ngatubhwesi kulota ku lieneo lya n'sanga ghumehele lya Syiti, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga na bhagendesibhu mundemandema.

¹⁸Twatobhibhu kwa nghofu sana ni linyegha, hivyo ligono lyalyifwatili mabaharia bhakajhanda kusopa misighu kuhoma mu meli.

¹⁹Ligono lya tatu, mabaharia bhakayanda kup'omba masi kwa mabhoko gha bhene.

²⁰Wakati ambapo lijobh ni litondo syatumuliki lepi kwa magono mingi, bado linyegha libhaha lyatutobhili, ni matumaini kujha tubetakuokolibhwa ghabhokili.

²¹Baada jha kujha bhalotili muda mrefu bila kyakulya, apu Paulo akajhema pagati pa mabaharia akajobha, “Bhagosi, mlondekeghe mnip'elekesiajhi, ngatubhokilepi kuhoma Krete, ili kukabha agha madhara ni hasara.

²²Na henu nikabhafariji mkipelayi muoyo, kwa ndabha kubetalepi kujha ni upotefu bhwa maisha kati jha muenga, isipokujha hasara jha meli tu.

²³Kwa ndabha kiru kya kilotili malaika ghwa K'yara, ambajhe K'yara ojhu nene ne ghwa muene, ni ambajhe nikamwabudi kabhele - malaika ghwa muene ajhemili palubhafu pa nene

²⁴ni kujobha, “Usitili Paulo. Lazima ujhemayi palongolo Kaisari, na langayi, K'yara ku bhunofu bhwa muene akupelili abha bhoha ambabho bhisafiri pamonga ni bhebhe.

²⁵Efyo, bhagosi, mukipelayi muoyo, kwandabha nikan'kier K'yara, kujha ibetakujha kama kyanibhajobhili.

²⁶Lakini lazima tulamatayi kwa kutobhibhwa mu baadhi jha fisibhwa.”

²⁷Bho ufikili kiru kya kumi na nne, bho twigendesibhwa okhu ni okhu mu bahari jha Adratik, kama kiru kya manane naha, mabaharia bhafikirileghe kujha bhikaribila kundema.

²⁸Bhatumili milio kup'ema kina kya masi nabhakabhaka mita thelathini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na sita, baada jha muda mfupi bhakap'ema kabhele bhakakabha mita ishirini na saba.

²⁹Bhatilili kujha bhibhwesya kugonga miamba, hivyo bhakaselesya nanga sinchenche kuhomela sehemu jha lukhela jhihidayi manyata.

³⁰Bhala mabaharia bhakajha bhilonda bhaselisi maboti mu masi madebemadebe gha kuokolela maisha, na bhakajha bhikifuanya bhisopa nanga pa sehemu jha palongolo jha liboti.

³¹Lakini Paulo akan'jobhela jhola askari ghwa jeshi la Kiroma ni bhala askari, “Mwibhwesya lepi kuokoka isipokujha bhanu abha bhibakila mu meli”.

³²Kisha askari bhala bhakadumula mighojhi jha liboti ni kujhileka jhitolibhwayi ni masi.

³³Wakati mwanga ghwa lukhela ghwihoma, Paulo akabhasihi bhoha angalau bhala bhadebe. Akajobha, “Ejhe ligono lya kumi na nne mwilendela bila kulya mlilepi khenu.

³⁴Hivyo nikabhasihi mtolayi kyakulya kidebe, kwandabha ejhe kwandabha jha kuishi kwa muenga; na lujhelepi hata lujhusili lumonga pamitu ghya jhomu lwalibetakujhagha.

³⁵Abhoamali kujobha aghu, akalota n'kate akan'shukuru K'yara palongolo jha mihu gha khila munu. Kisha akaumetula n'kate akajhanda kulya.

³⁶Kisha bhoha bhakapelibhwa muoyo na bhene bhakalota kyakulya.

³⁷Twajhele bhanu 276 mugati mu meli.

³⁸Bho bhalili fya kutosha, bhaibhombi meli mbepe kwa kutagha ngano mu masi.

³⁹Bhojhifikiri pamusi, bhajhitambuili lepi kundema, lakini bhakabhona sehemu jha kundema jhajhingili mmasi jhajhijhele ni n'sanga mwingi. bhakajadiliana kama bhibhwesya kugendesya meli kulota apu.

⁴⁰Hivyo bhakesihobhosya nanga bhakasileka mmasi. Katika muda bhobhuobhu bhakasihobhosya mighojhi jha nanga ni kujhijhinula sehemu jha palongolo kulotela ku mp'ongo, hivyo bhakalota sehemu jha nsanga bhumehele.
