And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

In context
36 Kisha wote wakatiwa moyo na wao wakachukua chakula.
37 Tulikuwa watu 276 ndani ya meli.
38 Walipokwisha kula vya kutosha, waliifanya meli nyepesi kwa kutupa ngano ndani ya bahari.
39 Ilipokuwa mchana, hawakuitambua nchi kavu, lakini wakaona sehemu ya nchi kavu iliyoingia majini iliyokuwa na mchanga mwingi. wakajadiliana kama wanaweza kuiendesha meli kuelekea hapo.
40 Hivyo wakazilegeza nanga wakaziacha baharini. Katika muda huo huo wakazilegeza kamba za tanga na wakaiinua sehemu ya mbele kuelekea kwenye upepo, hivyo wakaelekea kwenye hiyo sehemu ya mchanga mwingi.
41 Lakini wakaja mahali ambapo mikondo miwili ya maji inakutana, na meli ikaelekea mchangani. Na ile sehemu ya mbele ya meli ikakwama pale na haikuweza kutoka, lakini sehemu ya mbele ya meli ikaanza kuvunjika kwa sababu ya ukali wa mawimbi.
42 Mpango wa wale askari ulikuwa ni kuwaua wafungwa, ili kwamba hakuna ambaye angeogelea na kutoroka.
