¹But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.

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 going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, 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 arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and 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 setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of 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 having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia:

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

⁶and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.

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

⁷And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of 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 coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was [the] city of Lasaea.

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

⁹And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled 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]

¹⁰saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the 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.

¹¹But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.

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

¹²And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.

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 [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along 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 came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.

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

¹⁵And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven [before it].

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

¹⁶But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of 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 having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so 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]

¹⁸But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,

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

¹⁹and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.

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

²⁰And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was 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.

²¹And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster 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 courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.

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

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

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

²⁴saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those 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 be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

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

²⁶But we must be cast ashore on a certain island.

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

²⁷And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them,

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 having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found 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.

²⁹and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.

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

³⁰But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,

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 the soldiers, Unless 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 away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.

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

³³And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.

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 exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.

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, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it 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.

³⁶And all taking courage, themselves also took food.

³⁶Dia nahazo toky izy rehetra ka nihinana koa.

³⁷And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.

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

³⁸And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting 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 did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;

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, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

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 prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force 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] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.

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

⁴³But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on 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, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got 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.
