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.

And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.

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.

So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with 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.

And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty 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.

When we had put to sea from there, we 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.

And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of 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 to Italy, and he put us on board.

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 many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, 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.

Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea. Paul’s Warning Ignored

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,

Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul 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, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also 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.

Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken 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.

And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there. In the Tempest

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 the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.

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

But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.

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

So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.

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:

And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.

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.

When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.

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

And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.

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

On the third day we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our 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.

Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

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.

But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster 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.

And now I urge you to 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 there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,

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 be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail 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 take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.

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

However, 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;

Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near 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.

And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again 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.

Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day 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 seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,

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 stay 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 of the skiff and let it fall off.

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.

And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and 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,

Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any 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.

And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.

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

Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves.

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

And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship.

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

So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea. Shipwrecked on Malta

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 it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.

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 they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.

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 place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.

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

And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should 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 save Paul, kept them from their purpose, 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, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.
