1 Kwathi sekuqunyiwe ukuthi siye eIthaliya ngomkhumbi ^a, banikela uPawuli lezinye izibotshwa ezithile enduneni yekhulu, nguJuliyu ngebizo, eyesigaba senkosi enkulu ^b. 2 Sasesingena emkhunjini weAdramithiyu, obusuzakuya endaweni zangaseAsiya ^c, saqala ukuhamba, uAristako umMakedoniya ^d weThesalonika wayelathi ^e. 3 Lakusisa safika eSidoni ^f; uJuliyu wasemphatha kuhle uPawuli ^g, wamvumela ukuthi aye kubangane ukuze asizwe ^h. 4 Sasesisuka lapho ngomkhumbi ⁱ sehla sagudla iKuprosi ^j, ngoba imimoya yayiphambene lathi, 5 kwathi sesidabule ulwandle olungaseKilikhiya lePamfiliya, safika eMira yeLikhiya. 6 Lapho-ke induna yekhulu yathola umkhumbi weAleksandriya oya eIthaliya, yasikhweza kuwo ^k. 7 Sasesihamba kancinyane okwensuku ezinengi, safika nzima maqondana leKinidu, umoya ungasivumeli ^l, sehla sagudla ^m iKrete ⁿ maqondana leSalamone; 8 sasesiyigudla ^o kanzima safika endaweni ethile ethiwa yiMathekwamahle; okwakuseduze layo umuzi iLaseya.

9 Kwathi sekudlule isikhathi esikhulu, njalo sekuyingozi ukuhamba ngomkhumbi, ngoba lezilo lokudla laseledlule, uPawuli wabeluleka 10 esithi kubo: Madoda, ngiyabona ukuthi uhambo luzakuba lengozi ^p lomonakalo omkhulu ^q, kungeyisiwo owempahla lomkhumbi kuphela kodwa lowempilo zethu. 11 Kodwa induna yekhulu yakholwa induna yomkhumbi lomnikazi wawo kulezinto ezazitshiwo nguPawuli ^r. 12 Kwathi njengoba itheku lalingalungelanga ukuhlalwa ebusika, inengi labo lacebisa ukuthi kusukwe lalapho, mhlawumbe kwenzeke ukuthi bafike eFenikisi bahlale khona ebusika, itheku leKrete ^s elikhangele eningizimuntshonalanga lenyakathontshonalanga.

13 Njalo kuthe umoya weningizimu usuphephetha buthakathaka, banakana ukuthi sebekuzuzile lokho ababekuqondile, sebephakamise ingwegwe sagudla eKrete. 14 Kodwa kungabanga yisikhathi eside umoya oyisivunguzane, othiwa iYurakilidoni, wawutshaya; 15 umkhumbi wasubanjwa, wehluleka ukukhangelana lomoya, sasesiwuyekela undenda. 16 Sathi sesigudla phansi kwesihlengana esithile esithiwa yiKlawuda, senelisa kalukhuni ukuwubamba umkolo; 17 abathi sebewuphanyekile, basebenzisa izincediso, babopha ngamagoda azingelezela umkhumbi; basebesesaba ukuthi bazaphoseka eSirtisi, behlisa iseyili, ngokunjalo basebendenda ^t. 18 Kuthe ukuthi siphoswe kakhulu yisiphepho, ngolulandelayo baphosa impahla ^u; 19 kwathi ngolwesithathu salahla izikhali zomkhumbi ngezandla zethu uqobo ^v. 20 Kwathi kungelalanga njalo kungelankanyezi ezibonakalayo insuku ezinengi, lesiphepho esingesincinyane siqinisa, kusukela lapho laseliphela ithemba lonke lokuthi sizasinda.

21 Kwathi sekuyisikhathi eside bengasadli, uPawuli wasesukuma phakathi kwabo, wathi: Madoda, ngabe lalalela mina ^w kalaze lasuka eKrete ^x, njalo laphepha kulobubunzima ^y lakulumonakalo ^z. 22 Khathesi-ke sengileluleka ukuthi lime isibindi; ngoba kakusoze kulahleke impilo leyodwa kini, ngaphandle komkhumbi. 23 Ngoba ^aa ngalobubusuku bekumi kimi ingilosi kaNkulunkulu, engingowakhe ^ab, lengimkhonzayo ^ac, 24 yathi: Ungesabi Pawuli; ngoba umele ukuma phambi kukaKesari; njalo khangela, uNkulunkulu ukuphile bonke labo abahamba ngomkhumbi lawe ^ad. 25 Ngakho manini isibindi madoda ^ae; ngoba ngiyakholwa kuNkulunkulu ukuthi kuzakuba njengalokho engikutsheliweyo ^af. 26 Kodwa kumele ^ag sitshayeke esihlengeni esithile ^ah.

27 Kwathi sekufike ubusuku betshumi lane, sasindenda sizula olwandle lweAdriya, phakathi kobusuku, abomkhumbi bakhumbula ukuthi umhlabathi othile ususondela kubo; 28 basebephosa intambo yokulinganisa bathola amafathome* angamatshumi amabili; sebeqhubekile kancinyane baphosa intambo yokulinganisa futhi, bathola amafathome alitshumi lanhlanu; 29 njalo sesaba ukuthi mhlawumbe singatshayeka emadwaleni, basebephosela ingwegwe ezine ngemva komkhumbi, bafisa ukuthi kuse ^ai. 30 Abomkhumbi sebezama ukubaleka emkhunjini, basebesehlisela olwandle umkolo ^aj ngokungathi basebezakwehlisela ingwegwe ngaphambi komkhumbi ^ak, 31 uPawuli wathi enduneni yekhulu lakwabebutho: Uba laba bengahlali emkhunjini, lingesindiswe lina. 32 Abebutho basebequma amagoda omkolo ^al, bawuyekela ^am wawa ^an.

33 Kwasekusithi sekuzakusa, uPawuli wabancenga bonke ukuthi bathathe ukudla, esithi: Lamuhla kulusuku lwetshumi lane lilindile lihlezi lingadli, lingathathi lutho. 34 Ngakho ngiyalincenga ukuthi lithathe ukudla; ngoba lokhu ngokosindiso lwenu; ngoba kakuyikuwa komunye unwele lwekhanda lenu ^ao. 35 Kwathi esetshilo lezizinto, esethethe isinkwa, wabonga uNkulunkulu phambi kwabo bonke; wasihlephula waqala ukudla ^ap. 36 Basebesima isibindi bonke njalo bona bathatha ukudla ^aq. 37 Njalo thina sonke esasisemkhunjini sasiyimiphefumulo engamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesithupha ^ar. 38 Njalo sebesuthi ukudla baphungula umkhumbi, baphosela amabele olwandle.

39 Kwathi sekusile, kabalazanga ilizwe; kodwa babona itheku elithile lilokhumbi, abamisa ukuthi baqhubele umkhumbi kulo, uba kungenzeka. 40 Basebequma ingwegwe baziyekela olwandle ^as, ngesikhathi esifananayo bathukulula amagoda abophe amaphini okuqondisa, baphakamisela emoyeni iseyili yaphambili baqonda ekhunjini ^at. 41 Basebefika bengananzelele endaweni lapho ulwandle olwaluhlangana khona bawuqhubela umkhumbi esihlabathini; njalo isihloko somkhumbi sagxumekeka sahlala singanyikinyeki, kodwa ingemuva yomkhumbi yephulwa ngamandla amagagasi ^au. 42 Labebutho babeqonde ukubulala izibotshwa, hlezi ezinye zibaleke ngokuntshezela khatshana. 43 Kodwa induna yekhulu, ifisa ukusindisa uPawuli, yabavimbela kunjongo yabo, yasilaya ukuthi labo abakwaziyo ukuntsheza baziphosele olwandle kuqala, baye emhlabathini; 44 labaseleyo, abanye ngamapulanka, labanye ngezinye zezinto zomkhumbi. Ngokunjalo-ke kwenzeka ukuthi bonke bafike emhlabathini besindile ^av.
