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

¹And when we got safe [to land] we then 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'.

²But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling 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.

³And Paul having gathered a [certain] quantity of sticks together in a bundle and laid [it] on the fire, a viper coming out from the heat seized 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 beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, [though] saved out of the sea, Nemesis has not allowed to live.

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

⁵*He* however, having shaken off the beast into the fire, felt 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 suddenly dead. But when they had expected a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, changing their opinion, they said 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 country surrounding that place were the lands belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who received us and gave [us] hospitality three days in a very friendly way.

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 happened that the father of Publius lay ill of fever and dysentery; to whom Paul entered in, and having prayed and laid his hands on him cured him.

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

⁹But this having taken place, the rest also who had sicknesses in the island came and were healed:

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 honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.

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 sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with [the] Dioscuri for its ensign.

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

¹²And having come to Syracuse we remained 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.

¹³Whence, going in a circuitous course, we arrived at Rhegium; and after one day, the wind having changed to south, 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, having found brethren, we were begged to stay with them seven days. And thus we went 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 thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, 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 came to Rome, [the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the praetorian prefect, but] Paul was allowed to remain by himself with the soldier who kept 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 after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and when they had come together he said to them, Brethren, *I* having done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, have been delivered a 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 having examined me were minded to let me go, because there was nothing worthy 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 the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation of.

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 I have called you to [me] to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel I have this chain about me.

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 to him, For our part, we have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor has any one of the brethren who has arrived reported or said anything evil concerning 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 beg to hear of thee what thou thinkest, for as concerning this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere 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 having appointed him a day many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifying of the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from early morning to evening.

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

²⁴And some were persuaded of the things which were said, but 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 being disagreed among themselves they left; Paul having spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Esaias the prophet to our 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 to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear and not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not 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 the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, 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 to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; *they* also will hear [it].

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

²⁹[And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning 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 remained two whole years in his own hired lodging, and received all who came to 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 freedom unhinderedly.
