1 A , no ka takoto te tikanga kia rere matou ki Itari, ka tukua a Paora, me era atu herehere ki tetahi keneturio, ko Huriu te ingoa, no te hapu o Akuhata.

Now when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they turned Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion of the imperial regiment named Julius.

2 N a eke ana matou ki tetahi kaipuke o Ataramituma, e tika ana ra nga kainga o Ahia, rere ana matou; ko Aritaku o Teharonika, he tangata no Makeronia, to matou hoa.

And going aboard a ship from Adramyttium which was about to sail for the ports along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea; and Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, accompanied us.

3 P o tahi ka u matou ki Hairona: na ka ngawari te mahi a Huriu ki a Paora, tuku ana ia kia haere ki ona hoa kia atawhaitia.

The following day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul in a loving way, with much consideration (kindness and care), permitting him to go to his friends and be refreshed and be cared for.

4 R ere atu ana i reira, ka miri haere matou i te taha o Kaiperu, no te mea i he te hau.

After putting to sea from there we passed to the leeward (south side) of Cyprus, for the winds were contrary to us.

5 W hiti ana matou i te moana o Kirikia, o Pamapuria, ka u ki Maira, he pa no Raikia.

And when we had sailed over of sea which lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.

6 N a ka mau i te keneturio he kaipuke ki reira no Arehanaria, e rere ana ki Itari; ka utaina matou e ia ki runga.

There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and he transferred us to it.

7 A , ka po maha i puhoi ai te rere, ka whiti whakauaua ki te ritenga atu o Hiniru, a, te tukua matou e te hau, ka miri haere matou i te taha o Kariti i te ritenga atu o Haramone;

For a number of days we made slow progress and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus; then, as the wind did not permit us to proceed, we went under the lee (shelter) of Crete off Salmone,

8 A ka pahemo whakauaua a reira, ka u matou ki tetahi kainga, ko Nga Kokoru Ataahua te ingoa; e tata ana a reira ki te pa o Rahia.

And coasting along it with difficulty, we arrived at a place called Fair Havens, near which is located the town of Lasea.

9 A , ka maha nga ra ka pahemo, na kua kino te rerenga, no te mea kua pahemo ke te po nohopuku, a ka whakatupato a Paora,

But as much time had been lost and navigation was already dangerous, for the time for the Fast had already gone by, Paul warned and advised them,

10 K a mea ki a ratou, E mara ma, e kite ana ahau i te kino, i te nui o te mate e pa mai i tenei rerenga, ehara i te mea ko te utanga anake me te kaipuke, engari ko tatou ano.

Saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with disaster and much heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but of our lives also.

11 O tira nui ke atu te aro o te keneturio ki te kapene raua ko te tangata nona te kaipuke i tana ki nga mea i korero ai a Paora.

However, the centurion paid greater attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

12 A , i te mea kihai i pai taua kokoru hei tunga i te hotoke, ka mea te tokomaha kia rere atu ano i reira, me kore e u ki Pinikia, ki reira tu ai i te hotoke; he kokoru ia no Kariti, e anga ana ki te uru ma tonga, ki te uru ma raki.

And as the harbor was not well situated and so unsuitable to winter in, the majority favored the plan of putting to sea again from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenice, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and winter there.

13 A ka pa rekareka te tonga, ka mea ratou kua taea ta ratou i whakaaro ai, ka hutia te punga; a miri haere ana i Kariti.

So when the south wind blew softly, supposing they were gaining their object, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, hugging the coast.

14 N a kihai i roa ka puta he hau nui whakaharahara, ko Urokarairona te ingoa.

But soon afterward a violent wind, called a northeaster, came bursting down from the island.

15 A ka kahakina te kaipuke, te ngongo ki te hau, na ka tukua e matou ki tana, a ka paea.

And when the ship was caught and was unable to head against the wind, we gave up and, letting her drift, were borne along.

16 N a ka miri i te taha ruru o tetahi motu, tona ingoa ko Karaura; ka riro whakauaua mai te poti i a matou:

We ran under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, where we managed with difficulty to draw the boat on deck and secure it.

17 A ka hutia ake, ka hanga ki te whakau, meatia he awhi mo te tangere o te puke; a, no ka mataku kei eke ki te tahuna, ki Hatihi, ka tukua te ra, a ka paea haeretia.

After hoisting it on board, they used supports with ropes to undergird and brace the ship; then afraid that they would be driven into the Syrtis, they lowered the gear (sails and ropes) and so were driven along.

18 A , no ka tino akina matou e te tupuhi, i te aonga ake ka akiritia nga utanga;

As we were being dangerously tossed about by the violence of the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;

19 A i toru o nga ra ka maka atu e ratou ki o ratou ringa nga mea ake o te kaipuke.

And the third day they threw out with their own hands the ship’s equipment (the tackle and the furniture).

20 A he maha nga ra i kore ai e puta te ra me nga whetu, kihai ano i iti te tupuhi i akina ai matou, na ka mahue katoa to matou whakaaro ki te ora.

And when neither sun nor stars were visible for many days and no small tempest kept raging about us, all hope of our being saved was finally abandoned.

21 H eoi ka roa te nohopuku, na ka tu a Paora i waenganui o ratou, ka mea, E mara ma, engari ra me i rongo koutou ki ahau, kia kaua e rere mai i Kariti, kei pa mai tenei kino, tenei mate.

Then as they had eaten nothing for a long time, Paul came forward into their midst and said, Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have put to sea from Crete and brought on this disaster and harm and misery and loss.

22 N a ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kia marama te ngakau: e kore hoki e mate tetahi o koutou, ko te kaipuke anake.

But now I beg you to be in good spirits and take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you but only of the ship.

23 I tu hoki ki toku taha i tenei po he anahera na te Atua, nana nei ahau, ko ia taku e karakia atu nei,

For this night there stood by my side an angel of the God to Whom I belong and Whom I serve and worship,

24 I mea mai, Aua e mataku, e Paora; me tu koe ki te aroaro o Hiha: nana, kua hoatu ki a koe e te Atua te hunga katoa e rere tahi na koutou.

And he said, Do not be frightened, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has given you all those who are sailing with you.

25 N a kia marama te ngakau, e mara ma: e whakapono ana hoki ahau ki te Atua, e rite ano ki tana i korero mai ai ki ahau.

So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith (complete confidence) in God that it will be exactly as it was told me;

26 O tira kua takoto te tikanga kia eke tatou ki tetahi motu.

But we shall have to be stranded on some island.

27 N a i te tekau ma wha o nga po, i a matou e kahakihakina ana i te moana o Aria, i waenganui po, ka mea nga heramana kei te whakatata ratou ki tetahi whenua;

The fourteenth night had come and we were drifting and being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near to some land.

28 N a ka whakatatutu ratou, ka kite e rua tekau maro: a ka neke tata atu, ka whakatatutu ano, ka kite kotahi tekau ma rima maro.

So they took soundings and found twenty fathoms, and a little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.

29 N a ka mataku kei paea matou ki nga toka, ka tukua nga punga e wha i te kei, ka hiahia ki te awatea.

Then fearing that we might fall off onto rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and kept wishing for daybreak to come.

30 A , i nga heramana e mea ana kia oma atu i te kaipuke, e tuku ana hoki i te poti ki te moana, he whakaware, kia kiia ai e tukua ana etahi punga i te ihu.

And as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and were lowering the small boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow,

31 K a mea a Paora ki te keneturio ratou ko nga hoia, Ki te kore enei e noho ki te kaipuke, e kore koutou e taea te whakaora.

Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, you cannot be saved.

32 K atahi ka tapahia nga whakaheke o te poti e nga hoia, a tukua ana kia taka atu.

Then the soldiers cut away the ropes that held the small boat, and let it fall and drift away.

33 A i te mea meake puao te ra, ka tohe a Paora ki a ratou katoa kia kai, ka mea, Ko te tekau ma wha tenei o nga ra e tatari nei koutou, e nohopuku nei, te o te kai.

While they waited until it should become day, Paul entreated them all to take some food, saying, This is the fourteenth day that you have been continually in suspense and on the alert without food, having eaten nothing.

34 K oia ahau ka tohe nei kia kai: ko tetahi mea hoki tenei e ora ai koutou: e kore hoki e ngahoro tetahi huruhuru o te o tetahi o koutou,

So I urge (warn, exhort, encourage, advise) you to take some food —it will give you strength; for not a hair is to perish from the head of any one of you.

35 A , no tana korerotanga i enei kupu, ka mau ki te taro, ka whakawhetai ki te Atua i te aroaro o te katoa: a ka whawhati, ka timata te kai.

Having said these words, he took bread and, giving thanks to God before them all, he broke it and began to eat.

36 N a ka marama nga ngakau o ratou katoa, ka kai ano ratou.

Then they all became more cheerful and were encouraged and took food themselves.

37 N a e rua rau e whitu tekau ma ono matou katoa i te kaipuke.

All told there were 276 souls of us in the ship.

38 A , no ka makona i te kai, ka whakamama ratou i te kaipuke, ka akiritia te witi ki te moana.

And after they had eaten sufficiently, to lighten the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

39 A ka ao te ra kihai ratou i mohio ki tera whenua; engari i kite ratou i tetahi kokoru he one to reira, a ka mea ratou me kore e ahei te aki atu i te kaipuke ki roto.

Now when it was day, they did not recognize it, but they noticed a bay with a beach on which they purposed to run the ship ashore if they possibly could.

40 N a tapahia ana e ratou nga punga, tukua ana ki te moana, i whakakorokoroa ana nga here o te urungi, ka hutia ano te ra nui ki te hau, ka tika atu ki te one.

So they cut the cables and severed the anchors and left them in the sea; at the same time unlashing the ropes that held the rudders and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they headed for the beach.

41 A , ka puta atu ki tetahi wahi, he tai papakirua, ka whakaekea te kaipuke; a titi tonu te ihu, mau tonu, ko te kei i pakaru i te kaha o te ngaru.

But striking a crosscurrent (a place open to two seas) they ran the ship aground. The prow stuck fast and remained immovable, and the stern began to break up under the violent force of the waves.

42 A , ki ta nga hoia whakaaro, me whakamate nga herehere, kei kau tetahi ki uta, kei oma.

It was the counsel of the soldiers to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim to land and escape;

43 K o te keneturio ia i mea kia whakaorangia a Paora, kihai hoki i tukua ki ta ratou i whakaaro ai; na ka mea ia, kia matua peke atu te hunga e matau ana ki te kau, kia kau ki uta:

But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, prevented their carrying out their purpose. He commanded those who could swim to throw themselves overboard first and make for the shore,

44 K o era atu, ko etahi i runga i nga papa, ko etahi i runga i etahi o nga mea o te kaipuke. Heoi tae ora katoa ana ratou ki uta.

And the rest on heavy boards or pieces of the vessel. And so it was that all escaped safely to land.
