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

¹When we had escaped, then they NU reads “we” learned that the island was called Malta.

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

²The natives showed us uncommon 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 because 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'."

⁴When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

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

⁵However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

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 watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen 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 courteously entertained us for three days.

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.

⁸It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, 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.

⁹Then when this was done, the rest also who 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.

¹⁰They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that 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'.

¹¹After 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.

¹²Touching at Syracuse, we stayed 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.

¹³From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. 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 brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. 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.

¹⁵From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, 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.

¹⁶When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who 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.

¹⁷It happened that after three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still 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 free, 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 spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which 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 I asked to see you and to speak with you. 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.

²¹They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

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 from you what you think. 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.

²³When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

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

²⁴Some 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.

²⁵When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, 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, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way 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 has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’ Isaiah 6:9-10

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." ((

²⁸“Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen.”

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

²⁹When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute 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.

³⁰Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming 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 boldness, without hindrance.
