    Acts 27
    • 1   Walipokwisha amua tusafiri mpaka Italia, walimweka Paulo pamoja na wafungwa wengine chini ya ulinzi wa Yulio aliyekuwa ofisa wa jeshi katika kikosi kiitwacho "Kikosi cha Augusto."
    • 2   Tulipanda meli ya Adiramito iliyokuwa inasafiri na kupitia bandari kadhaa za mkoa wa Asia, tukaanza safari. Aristarko, mwenyeji wa Makedonia kutoka Thesalonika, alikuwa pamoja nasi.
    • 3   Kesho yake tulitia nanga katika bandari ya Sidoni. Yulio alimtendea Paulo vizuri kwa kumruhusu awaone rafiki zake na kupata mahitaji yake.
    • 4   Kutoka huko tuliendelea na safari, lakini kwa kuwa upepo ulikuwa unavuma kwa kasi kutujia kwa mbele, tulipitia upande wa kisiwa cha Kupro ambapo upepo haukuwa mwingi.
    • 5   Halafu tulivuka bahari ya Kilikia na Pamfulia, tukatia nanga Mura, mji wa Lukia.
    • 6   Hapo yule ofisa alikuta meli moja ya Aleksandria iliyokuwa inakwenda Italia, na hivyo akatupandisha ndani.
    • 7   Kwa muda wa siku nyingi tulisafiri polepole, na kwa shida tulifika karibu na Nido. Kwa sababu upepo ulikuwa bado unatupinga, tuliendelea mbele moja kwa moja tukapitia upande wa Krete karibu na rasi Salmone ambapo upepo haukuwa mwingi.
    • 8   Tulipita kando yake polepole tukafika mahali paitwapo "Bandari Nzuri", karibu na mji wa Lasea.
    • 9   Muda mrefu ulikuwa umepita, na hata siku ya kufunga ilikuwa imekwisha pita. Sasa ilikuwa hatari sana kusafiri kwa meli. Basi, Paulo aliwapa onyo:
    • 10   "Waheshimiwa, nahisi kwamba safari hii itakuwa ya shida na hasara nyingi si kwa shehena na meli tu, bali pia kwa maisha yetu."
    • 11   Lakini yule ofisa alivutiwa zaidi na maoni ya nahodha na ya mwenye meli kuliko yale aliyosema Paulo.
    • 12   Kwa kuwa bandari hiyo haikuwa mahali pazuri pa kukaa wakati wa baridi, wengi walipendelea kuendelea na safari, ikiwezekana mpaka Foinike. Foinike ni bandari ya Krete inayoelekea kusini-magharibi na kaskazini-magharibi; na huko wangeweza kukaa wakati wa baridi.
    • 13   Basi, upepo mzuri wa kusi ulianza kuvuma, nao wakadhani wamefanikiwa lengo lao; hivyo wakang'oa nanga, wakaiendesha meli karibu sana na pwani ya Krete.
    • 14   Lakini haukupita muda, upepo mkali uitwao "Upepo wa Kaskazi" ulianza kuvuma kutoka kisiwani.
    • 15   Upepo uliipiga ile meli, na kwa kuwa hatukuweza kuukabili, tukaiacha ikokotwe na huo upepo.
    • 16   Kisiwa kimoja kiitwacho Kanda kilitukinga kidogo na ule upepo; na tulipopita kusini mwake tulifaulu, ingawa kwa shida, kuusalimisha ule mtumbwi wa meli.
    • 17   Wale wanamaji waliuvuta mtumbwi ndani, kisha wakaizungushia meli kamba na kuifunga kwa nguvu. Waliogopa kwamba wangeweza kukwama kwenye ufuko wa bahari, pwani ya Libya. Kwa hiyo walishusha matanga na kuiacha meli ikokotwe na upepo.
    • 18   Dhoruba iliendelea kuvuma na kesho yake wakaanza kutupa nje shehena ya meli.
    • 19   Siku ya tatu, wakaanza pia kutupa majini vifaa vya meli kwa mikono yao wenyewe.
    • 20   Kwa muda wa siku nyingi hatukuweza kuona jua wala nyota; dhoruba iliendelea kuvuma sana, hata matumaini yote ya kuokoka yakatuishia.
    • 21   Baada ya kukaa muda mrefu bila kula chakula, Paulo alisimama kati yao, akasema, "Waheshimiwa, ingalikuwa afadhali kama mngalinisikiliza na kuacha kusafiri kutoka Krete. Kama mngalifanya hivyo tungaliiepuka shida hii na hasara hizi zote.
    • 22   Lakini sasa ninawaombeni muwe na moyo; hakuna hata mmoja wenu atakayepoteza maisha yake; meli tu ndiyo itakayopotea.
    • 23   Kwa maana jana usiku malaika wa yule Mungu ambaye mimi ni wake na ambaye mimi ninamwabudu alinitokea,
    • 24   akaniambia: Paulo usiogope! Ni lazima utasimama mbele ya Kaisari; naye Mungu, kwa wema wake, amekufadhili kwa kuwaokoa wote wanaosafiri nawe wasiangamie.
    • 25   Hivyo, waheshimiwa, jipeni moyo! Maana ninamwamini Mungu kwamba itakuwa sawa kama nilivyoambiwa.
    • 26   Lakini ni lazima tutatupwa ufukoni mwa kisiwa fulani."
    • 27   Usiku wa siku ya kumi na nne, tulikuwa tunakokotwa huku na huku katika bahari ya Adria. Karibu na usiku wa manane wanamaji walijihisi kuwa karibu na nchi kavu.
    • 28   Hivyo walitafuta kina cha bahari kwa kuteremsha kamba iliyokuwa imefungiwa kitu kizito, wakapata kina cha mita arobaini. Baadaye wakapima tena wakapata mita thelathini.
    • 29   Kwa sababu ya kuogopa kukwama kwenye miamba, waliteremsha nanga nne nyuma ya meli; wakaomba kuche upesi.
    • 30   Wanamaji walitaka kutoroka, na walikwisha kuteremsha ule mtumbwi majini, wakijisingizia kwamba wanakwenda kuteremsha nanga upande wa mbele wa meli.
    • 31   Lakini Paulo alimwambia yule ofisa wa jeshi na askari wake, "Kama wanamaji hawa hawabaki ndani ya meli, hamtaokoka."
    • 32   Hapo wale askari walizikata kamba zilizokuwa zimeshikilia ule mtumbwi, wakauacha uchukuliwe na maji.
    • 33   Karibu na alfajiri, Paulo aliwahimiza wote wale chakula: "Kwa siku kumi na nne sasa mmekuwa katika mashaka na bila kula; hamjala kitu chochote.
    • 34   Basi, ninawasihi mle chakula kwa maana mnakihitaji ili mweze kuendelea kuishi. Maana hata unywele mmoja wa vichwa vyenu hautapotea."
    • 35   Baada ya kusema hivyo, Paulo alichukua mkate, akamshukuru Mungu mbele yao wote, akaumega, akaanza kula.
    • 36   Hapo wote wakapata moyo, nao pia wakala chakula.
    • 37   Jumla tulikuwa watu mia mbili na sabini na sita katika meli.
    • 38   Baada ya kila mmoja kula chakula cha kutosha, walipunguza uzito wa meli kwa kutupa nafaka baharini.
    • 39   Kulipokucha, wanamaji hawakuweza kuitambua nchi ile, ila waliona ghuba moja yenye ufuko; wakaamua kutia nanga huko kama ikiwezekana.
    • 40   Hivyo walikata nanga na kuziacha baharini, na wakati huohuo wakazifungua kamba zilizokuwa zimeufunga usukani, kisha wakatweka tanga moja mbele kushika upepo, wakaelekea ufukoni.
    • 41   Lakini walifika mahali ambapo mikondo miwili ya bahari hukutana, na meli ikakwama. Sehemu ya mbele ilikuwa imezama mchangani bila kutikisika. Sehemu ya nyuma ya meli ilianza kuvunjika vipandevipande kwa mapigo ya nguvu ya mawimbi.
    • 42   Askari walitaka kuwaua wafungwa wote kwa kuogopa kwamba wangeogelea hadi pwani na kutoroka.
    • 43   Lakini kwa vile yule ofisajeshi alitaka kumwokoa Paulo, aliwazuia wasifanye hivyo. Aliamuru wale waliojua kuogelea waruke kutoka melini na kuogelea hadi pwani,
    • 44   na wengine wafuate wakijishikilia kwenye mbao au kwenye vipande vya meli iliyovunjika. Ndivyo sisi sote tulivyofika salama pwani.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
