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.

¹And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,

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.

²and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

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.

³on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit [him], having gone on unto friends, to receive [their] care.

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

⁴And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

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

⁵and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,

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

⁶and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

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;

⁷and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

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

⁸and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,` nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea.

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]

⁹And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous — because of the fast also being already past — Paul was admonishing,

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.

¹⁰saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives — the voyage is about to be;`

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

¹¹but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

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]

¹²and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, [there] to winter, [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

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.

¹³and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

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

¹⁴and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

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

¹⁵and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on,

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)]

¹⁶and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,

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]

¹⁷which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast — so were borne on.

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

¹⁸And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,

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

¹⁹and on the third [day] with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

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.

²⁰and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

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.

²¹And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved [you], indeed, O men — having hearkened to me — not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;

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

²²and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you — but of the ship;

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

²³for there stood by me this night a messenger of God — whose I am, and whom I serve —

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.

²⁴saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

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

²⁵wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,

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

²⁶and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.`

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

²⁷And when the fourteenth night came — we being borne up and down in the Adria — toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;

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.

²⁸and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,

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

²⁹and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.

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,

³⁰And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as [if] out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,

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

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship — ye are not able to be saved;`

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

³²then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.

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.

³³And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing,

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.

³⁴wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;`

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

³⁵and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;

³⁶Dia nahazo toky izy rehetra ka nihinana koa.

³⁶and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,

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

³⁷(and we were — all the souls in the ship — two hundred, seventy and six),

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

³⁸and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.

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.

³⁹And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,

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.

⁴⁰and the anchors having taken up, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time — having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind — they were making for the shore,

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.

⁴¹and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves.

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

⁴²And the soldiers` counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,

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.

⁴³but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first — to get unto the 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.

⁴⁴and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
