¹And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

¹Hi role-na omea-makai, lako' ki'inca-di: lewuto' toe rahanga' Malta.

²And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

²Lompe' lia nono-ra pue' ngata hi kai'. Ratarima lompe' -kai, rapobaa-kakai apu kiponerui, apa' udaa wo'o-mi pai' molengi'.

³And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

³Paulus mporumpu kaju pai' nalobu. Bula-na mpodampa kaju hi lolo apu, hangaa mehupa' hama'a ule ngkai rala kaju, apa' morani' -hawo nanene apu. Ule toe mpotilo' pale-na.

⁴And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

⁴Karahilo-na pue' ngata ule to mentoe hi pale Paulus, ra'uli' -mi: "Topepatehi-i-tawo' tau tohe'ii! Bo hilo-mi, nau' uma-i mate hi rala tahi' we'i, aga Anitu Topotangara' uma mpelele' -i tuwu'."

⁵And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

⁵Ane Paulus-hana, uma hangkedia' peda' na'epe. Napetonta-wadi ule toe hi rala apu.

⁶Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

⁶Ra'uli' pue' ngata, mowoto-ki mpai' pale-na, ba mule' modungka mata' -i pai' mate. Hiaa' mahae rapeka'au, uma-hawo moapa-i. Ngkai ree mobali' wo'o-mi pekiri-ra, ra'uli': "Paulus toei, to mobaraka' -i!"

⁷In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

⁷Uma molaa ngkai ree, ria bonea. Bonea toe, bonea Publius, kapala' hi lewuto' toe. Hante kalompe' nono-na, nakio' -kai hilou hi tomi-na, pai' natorata-kai rala-na tolu eo.

⁸And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

⁸Nto'u toe, tuama-na Publius peda' ngkelengi' pai' nturi mo'ue. Paulus hilou hi poturua-na, naposampayai pai' najama-i, alaa-na mo'uri' -imi.

⁹So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

⁹Oti toe, hawe'ea to peda' hi lewuto' toe tumai mpopetulungi hi Paulus, pai' napaka'uri' -ra.

¹⁰Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

¹⁰Wori' rewa to rawai' -kakai hewa pebila' -ra. Pai' nto'u-kai ngkarewa-mi me'ongko', rakeni napa-napa kaparaluua-kai pai' ratu'u hi rala kapal.

¹¹And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

¹¹Hono' -makai tolu mula hi lewuto' Malta, me'ongko' wo'o-makai mpohawi' kapal to ngkai Aleksandria. Kapal toe mahae-imi-hana mento'o hi lewuto' mpeka'au katimpaliu-na tempo lengi'. Hanga' kapal toe, Anitu Moropa'.

¹²And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

¹²Mehani-kai hi ngata Sirakusa, tolu eo-kai hi ria.

¹³And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

¹³Ngkai ree, kaliliu wo'o-makai mpewiwi' tahi', rata hi ngata Regium. Kamepulo-na, mewui ngolu' to lompe' ngkai selatan. Toe pai' mogasi pomako' kapal-kai, pai' ro'eo oti toe rata-makai hi ngata Putioli hi tana' Italia. Mana'u-makai ngkai kapal hi ree.

¹⁴Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

¹⁴Pana'u-kai ngkai kapal toe, hirua' -kai hante ba hangkuja dua ompi' hampepangalaa'. Rakio' -kai hilou hi tomi-ra pai' ratorata-kai hamingku. Ngkai ree, mako' witi' -makai hilou hi Roma.

¹⁵And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

¹⁵Hi lengko ohea-pidi-kai, ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' to hi Roma mpo'epe kaneo' -kai rata-mi. Toe pai' katumai-rami mpotomu-kai hi ngata to rahanga' Pasar Apius pai' Pasanggrahan to Tolu. Kanahilo-na Paulus ompi' hampepangalaa' -kai ngkai Roma toera, na'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, pai' morawa-mi nono-na.

¹⁶And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

¹⁶Karata-kai hi Roma, Paulus uma-pi ratarungku'. Rapalogai moto-i mo'oha' hiapa konoa-na, aga hadua tantara mpodongo-i.

¹⁷And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

¹⁷Tolu eo-kai hi ria, Paulus mpokio' totu'a-totu'a to Yahudi bona mpohirua' -ki. Porumpu-ra toe, mololita-imi Paulus, na'uli' -raka: "Ompi' -ompi', uma-kuwo ria sala' -ku hi ompi' -ta to Yahudi, uma-a ria mpotiboki ada totu'a-ta. Aga nau' wae, rahoko' -a hi Yerusalem pai' -a ratonu hi topoparenta to Roma.

¹⁸Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

¹⁸Kara-kara-ku toe raparesa' topoparenta to Roma, pai' doko' rabahaka-a, apa' monoto-mi ka'uma-na ria sala' -ku to natao rapatehi-ka.

¹⁹But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

¹⁹Tapi' to Yahudi hi Yudea me'ewa ncuu, uma-ra dota mpobahaka-a. Jadi', uma ria ohea ntani' -na, merapi' -ama mpobua' kara-kara-ku hi Kaisar. Nau' wae, uma ba ria to kupakilu-raka ompi' -ta to Yahudi.

²⁰For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

²⁰Jadi', toe pai' oi-ama hi Roma, pai' ohe'i-mokoi ompi' -ompi', kukio' -koi tumai apa' doko' kupololitai-koi. Apa' pai' -a rataha tohe'i-e, ngkai pepangala' -ku hi Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Alata'ala, hibalia hante hawe'ea to Israel."

²¹And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

²¹Ra'uli' totu'a to Yahudi toera mpo'uli' -ki Paulus: "Uma ria sura kitarima ngkai Yudea to mpotompo'wiwi-ko. Pai' uma wo'o ria ba haduaa ngkai ria to ngkeni kareba ba mpololita kada'aa-nu.

²²But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

²²Sampale-di, doko' ki'epe tudui' -nu mpokahangai' Magau' Topetolo' tetu-e. Apa' ki'epe moto tauna hiapa-apa mposapuaka tudui' tetu."

²³And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

²³Oti toe, raponoa' -mi eo kahiruaa' -ra tena hante Paulus. Rata mpu'u-mi eo to ratoa', wori' -mi tauna morumpu hi po'ohaa' Paulus. Ngkai mepulo duu' ncimonou', napakanoto-raka Kayesus-na Magau' to najanci Alata'ala. Nabasa ihi' Atura Musa pai' sura nabi-nabi, nanotohi-raka pai' nabawai-ra mepangala' hi Yesus.

²⁴And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

²⁴Ria-ra to mpangala' lolita-na, ria wo'o to uma mpangala'.

²⁵And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

²⁵Pagaa' -gaa' -ramo ngkai porumpua toe, apa' uma mpu'u-pi ria kahintuwuaa' -ra. Aga kako'ia-ra mogaa', Paulus mpololitai-ra hewa tohe'i: "Makono mpu'u-di lolita Inoha' Tomoroli' to napohowa' nabi Yesaya hi ntu'a-ta owi-e.

²⁶Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

²⁶Hewa tohe'i moni-na: Na'uli' Pue' Ala: `Hilou-ko, uli' -raka to Yahudi toera: Pe'epe moto-ra, aga uma oa' ra'incai batua-na. Pehilo moto-ra, aga hewa to uma oa' rahiloi mpu'u.

²⁷For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

²⁷Apa' moko'o-mi nono-ra, mengkawongo-ra pai' mengkawero-ra: oja' -ra pehilo hante mata-ra, oja' -ra pe'epe hante tilinga-ra, oja' -ra ranotohi nono-ra. Ka'omea-na, uma-ra mpai' nculii' tumai hi Aku', pai' uma-ra kuwai' kalompea'.'"

²⁸Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

²⁸Oti toe, na'uli' wo'o-mi Paulus: "Ompi' -ompi'! Ane uma-koi dota mpotarima Kareba Lompe' to mpokeni kalompea' hi manusia', sala' -ni moto. Tapi' bona ni'inca: kareba toe raparata-miraka tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi. Hira' -mi-hana mpai' to mpotarima." ((

²⁹And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

²⁹Ka'oti-na Paulus mololita hewa toe, nculii' -ramo to Yahudi ngkai ree, pai' -ra momehono' -hono'.))

³⁰And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

³⁰Ngkai ree, Paulus tida hi Roma rompae kahae-na hi rala tomi to nasewa. Goe' -i mpotarima hawe'ea tauna to doko' mpencuai' -i.

³¹Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

³¹Hante uma ria kakoo-koroa' -na, naparata-raka Kayesus-na Pue' pai' Magau' Topetolo', pai' natudui' -ra ohea-na jadi' ntodea-na Alata'ala hi rala Kamagaua' -na. Pai' uma ria to mposaleroi-i.
