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.

When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort 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 embarking in an Adramyttian ship, which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica.

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 next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul with consideration and allowed him to go to his friends and receive care.

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

From there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of Cyprus because the winds were contrary.

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

When we had sailed through the sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at 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 sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard 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;

When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, since the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the 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 with difficulty sailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city 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,

When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish 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.

and said to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”

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.

But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.

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.

Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the 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.

When a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore. Shipwreck

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

But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called Euraquilo;

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 in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be driven 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:

Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship’s boat under control.

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 they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.

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

The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo;

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

and on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.

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.

Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually 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.

When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, “ Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage 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.

Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, 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 very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me,

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.

saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted 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.

Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.

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

But we must run aground on a certain 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;

But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching 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.

They took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be 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.

Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.

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.

But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the ship’s boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending 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 to the soldiers, “Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves 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 of the ship’s boat and let it fall 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.

Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken 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,

Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.”

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 this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat.

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

All of them were encouraged and they themselves also took food.

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

All of us in the ship were two hundred and seventy-six persons.

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

When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by 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.

When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they 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.

And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading 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 reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves.

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

The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away 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, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,

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 should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land.
