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

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

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

²And the barbarians showed us no common kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

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.

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

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'."

⁴And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live.

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

⁵Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm.

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!"

⁶But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

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.

⁷Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously.

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.

⁸And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.

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

⁹And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:

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.

¹⁰who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.

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'.

¹¹And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers.

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

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

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.

¹³And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;

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.

¹⁴where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome.

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.

¹⁵And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

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

¹⁶And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.

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.

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

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.

¹⁸who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me.

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.

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

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."

²⁰For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with [me]: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

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.

²¹And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee.

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

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

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.

²³And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded [the matter,] testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

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

²⁴And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

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.

²⁵And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers,

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.

²⁶saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

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'.'"

²⁷For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest, haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.

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." ((

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

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

²⁹[And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.]

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

³⁰And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto 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.

³¹preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him.
