In context
10 na kusema, “Wanaume, naona safari ambayo tunataka tuichukue itakuwa na madhara na hasara nyingi, siyo tu ya mizigo na meli, lakini pia ya maisha yetu.”
11 Lakini afisa wa jeshi la Kiroma akamsikiliza zaidi bwana wake na mmiliki wa meli, kuliko mambo yale ambayo yalizungumzwa na Paulo.
12 Kwa sababu bandari haikuwa sehemu rahisi kukaa wakati wa baridi, mabaharia wengi wakashauri tusafiri kutoka pale, ili kwa namna yoyote tukiweza kuufikia mji wa Foinike, tukae pale wakati wa baridi. Foinike ni bandari huko Krete, na inatazama kaskazini mashariki na kusini mashariki.
13 Upepo wa kusini ulipoanza kuvuma polepole, mabaharia wakafikiri wamepata kile ambacho walikuwa wanakihitaji. Wakang'oa nanga na kusafiri kandokando ya Krete karibu na pwani.
14 Lakini baada ya muda mfupi upepo mkali, ulioitwa Wa kaskazini mashariki, ukaanza kutupiga kutoka ng'ambo ya kisiwa.
15 Wakati meli ilipolemewa na kushindwa kuukabili upepo, tukakubaliana na hali hiyo, tukasafirishwa nao.
16 Tukakimbia kupitia ule upande uliokuwa unaukinga upepo wa kisiwa kiitwacho Kauda; na kwa taabu sana tulifanikiwa kuuokoa mtumbwi.
