¹And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

¹[Ny nitondrana an'i Paoly nankany Roma, sy ny zavatra nanjo azy teny an-dalana] Ary rehefa voadidy hiondrana an-tsambo hiala hankany Italia izahay, Paoly sy ny mpifatotra sasany dia natolotra tamin'ny kapiteny atao hoe Jolio, tamin'ny antokon'i Aogosto.

²And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

²Ary rehefa nirotsaka an-tsambo avy any Adramytena izay efa handeha hitety ny sisin-tanin'i Asia izahay, dia lasa nandeha; ary niaraka taminay Aristarko Makedoniana avy any Tesalonika.

³And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

³Ary nony ampitso dia tonga tany Sidona izahay. Ary tsara ny nitondran'i Jolio an'i Paoly, fa navelany hankany amin'ny sakaizany izay hiahy azy izy.

⁴And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁴Ary nony niala teo izahay, dia nanara-morona an'i Kyprosy nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra, satria nanohitra ny rivotra.

⁵And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

⁵Ary rehefa namaky ny ranomasina tany Kilikia sy Pamfilia izahay, dia tonga tany Myra any Lykia.

⁶And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

⁶Ary tao no nahitan'ny kapiteny sambon'Aleksandria hankany Italia, dia nasainy niondrana teo aminy izahay.

⁷And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

⁷Ary rehefa nandeha niadana andro maromaro izahay ka saiky tsy tonga tandrifin'i Kinido, satria nisakana anay ny rivotra, dia takon-drivotra tandrifin'i Salmona izahay;

⁸And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁸ary nony sahirana nanara-morona izahay, dia tonga teo amin'ny tany anankiray atao hoe Tsara-fitodian-tsambo; akaikin'izany ny tanàna Lasea.

⁹Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

⁹Ary rehefa lany ny andro maro, sady sarotra ny fandehanan-tsambo tamin'izany, satria efa afaka ny Andro Fifadiana, dia nananatra azy Paoly [ Ny Andro Fanavotana izany]

¹⁰And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

¹⁰ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, hitako fa izao fandehanana izao dia hisy fahasimbana sy fatiantoka be ihany, ka tsy amin'ny entana sy ny sambo ihany, fa ny aintsika koa aza.

¹¹Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹¹Kanefa ny kapiteny nino ny mpitondra sy ny tompon-tsambo, fa tsy ny teny nolazain'i Paoly.

¹²And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

¹²Ary satria ny fitodian-tsambo teo dia tsy tsara hitoerana amin'ny ririnina, dia nataon'ny maro fa tsara raha miala, fandrao mba ho tonga any Foiniksa ahay handany ny ririnina any; fitodian-tsambo any Kreta izany ka manatrika mianatsimo-andrefana sy mianavaratra-andrefana. [Na: mianavaratra-atsinanana sy mianatsimo-atsinanana]

¹³And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

¹³Ary raha nitsoka malemy ny rivotra avy any atsimo, ka nataony fa efa nahazo izay niriny izy, dia niala teo izy ka nandalo akaikikaikin'i Kreta.

¹⁴But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

¹⁴Ary tsy ela rehefa afaka izany, dia nifofofofo nidina avy teo ny tafio-drivotra mahery atao hoe Eorakylona.

¹⁵And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

¹⁵Ary raha nopaohin'ny rivotra ny sambo ka tsy nahatoha azy, dia navelanay haveziveziny izy.

¹⁶And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

¹⁶Ary raha nandeha faingana nanara-morona ny nosy atao hoe Kaoda nihazo ny ilany takon-drivotra izahay, dia saiky tsy nahazo ny salopy; [ Na: (Klaoda)]

¹⁷Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

¹⁷ary rehefa nakarina izany, dia novahorany manodidina ny sambo; ary natahotra izy, fandrao hihatra any amin'ilay fasika mandrevo, dia nampidina ny lay, ka navelany handeha ho azy ny sambo. [ Gr. Syrtisy]

¹⁸And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

¹⁸Ary raha nasian'ny rivotra mafy izahay, dia nanariany ny entana nony ampitso;

¹⁹And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

¹⁹ary nony ampitso'io indray dia narian'ny tànany ihany ny fanaka teo amin'ny sambo;

²⁰And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

²⁰fa rehefa tsy hita ny masoandro na ny kintana hatramin'ny andro maro, ary tsy kely ny rivotra izay namely, dia tsy nanantena ho voavonjy intsony izahay.

²¹But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

²¹Ary rehefa tsy nihinan-kanina ela izy ireo, Paoly dia nitsangana teo afovoany ka nanao hoe: Ry tompokolahy ô, tsara raha ho nihaino ahy ianareo ka tsy niala tany Kreta, mba tsy ho nahitana izao fahasimbana sy fatiantoka izao.

²²And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

²²Ary ankehitriny mananatra anareo aho mba hatoky; fa tsy hisy ho faty ianareo, fa ny sambo ihany no ho very.

²³For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

²³Fa nisy anjelin'Andriamanitra, Izay Tompoko sady tompoiko, nitsangana teo anilako halina

²⁴Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

²⁴ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra, ry Paoly; fa tsy maintsy hitsangana eo anatrehan'i Kaisara ianao; ary, indro, efa nomen'Andriamanitra anao ny olona rehetra izay miaraka aminao.

²⁵Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

²⁵Koa matokia, ry tompokolahy ô, fa mino an'Andriamanitra aho fa ho tonga araka ny voalazany tamiko izany.

²⁶Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

²⁶Nefa tsy maintsy fefika ihany eo amin'ny nosy anankiray isika.

²⁷But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

²⁷Ary tamin'ny alina fahefatra ambin'ny folo, raha navezimbezina tany Adria izahay, nony namatonalina dia nataon'ny matilo fa efa manakaiky tany izy;

²⁸And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

²⁸dia nanaka-drano izy ka hitany fa faharoa-polo refy; ary nony nandrosoroso kokoa izy, dia nanaka-drano indray ka hitany fa fahadimy ambin'ny folo refy.

²⁹Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

²⁹Dia natahotra izahay, fandrao hidona amin'ny harambato, ka dia nandatsaka vatofantsika efatra teo am-bodisambo ary naniry ny andro ho maraina.

³⁰And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

³⁰Fa raha nitady handositra hiala tamin'ny sambo ny matilo ka efa nampidina ny salopy teo amin'ny ranomasina izy, nody handatsaka vatofantsika eo an-doha-sambo,

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

³¹dia hoy Paoly tamin'ny kapiteny sy ny miaramila: Raha tsy mitoetra eto an-tsambo ireo, dia tsy azo vonjena ianareo.

³²Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

³²Dia notapahin'ny miaramila ny mahazaka rehetra tamin'ny salopy, ka navelany ho latsaka.

³³And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

³³Ary raha mbola tsy nazava ny andro, dia niangavy tamin'ny olona rehetra Paoly mba hihinan-kanina ka nanao hoe: Anio no fahefatra ambin'ny folo andro niandrasanareo, sady nahari-noana ianareo ka tsy nihinana.

³⁴Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

³⁴Koa mananatra anareo aho hihinan-kanina, fa izany no isan'ny hamonjena anareo; ary tsy hisy ho very aminareo rehetra na dia singam-bolo iray akory aza.

³⁵And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

³⁵Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy sady nandray mofo, dia nisaotra an'Andriamanitra teo anatrehan'ny olona rehetra; ary rehefa novakiny, dia nihinana izy.

³⁶Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

³⁶Dia nahazo toky izy rehetra ka nihinana koa.

³⁷And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

³⁷Ary izahay rehetra teo anaty sambo dia olona enina amby fito-polo amby roan-jato.

³⁸And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

³⁸Ary rehefa voky izy, dia nanariany ho any anaty ranomasina ny hanina mba hanamaivana ny sambo. [Na: ny vary tritika]

³⁹And 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.

³⁹Ary rehefa nazava ny andro, dia tsy nahalala ny tany izy, fa nahita helodrano anankiray tsara morona, ka teo no nokasainy hampidonana ny sambo, raha azony atao.

⁴⁰And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

⁴⁰Ary rehefa nesoriny avokoa ny vatofantsika, dia navelany ho any an-dranomasina, ary novahany koa ny kofehin'ny familian-tsambo dia namelatra ny lay anoloana izy ho azon'ny rivotra ka nanatona ny tany.

⁴¹And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

⁴¹Ary raha tonga tamin'izay nisy fihaonan-dranomasina izy, dia navelany hidona tamin'ny tany ny sambo; ary ny loha-sambo nihizina ka nitoetra tsy nihetsika, fa ny vodi-sambo kosa dia vakivaky azon'ny herin'ny onja.

⁴²And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

⁴²Ary ny miaramila nanao tetika hamono ny mpifatotra, fandrao hisy hilomano ireo ka ho afaka.

⁴³But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

⁴³Fa ny kapiteny ta-hamonjy an'i Paoly, dia nisakana azy tsy hanao izay nokasainy; fa izay nahay nilomano no nasainy hirotsaka aloha ka hilomano ho any amin'ny tany,ary ny sisa dia samy hanao izay hahafaka azy, na amin'ny hazo fisaka, na amin'ny zavatra avy amin'ny sambo. Dia tonga soa aman-tsara teny an-tanety avokoa izy rehetra.

⁴⁴And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

⁴⁴ary ny sisa dia samy hanao izay hahafaka azy, na amin'ny hazo fisaka, na amin'ny zavatra avy amin'ny sambo. Dia tonga soa aman-tsara teny an-tanety avokoa izy rehetra.
