¹When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

¹¶ A, no ka takoto te tikanga kia rere matou ki Itari, ka tukua a Paora, me era atu herehere ki tetahi keneturio, ko Huriu te ingoa, no te hapu o Akuhata.

²Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

²Na eke ana matou ki tetahi kaipuke o Ataramituma, e tika ana ra nga kainga o Ahia, rere ana matou; ko Aritaku o Teharonika, he tangata no Makeronia, to matou hoa.

³The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

³Po tahi ka u matou ki Hairona: na ka ngawari te mahi a Huriu ki a Paora, tuku ana ia kia haere ki ona hoa kia atawhaitia.

⁴Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁴Rere atu ana i reira, ka miri haere matou i te taha o Kaiperu, no te mea i he te hau.

⁵When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

⁵Whiti ana matou i te moana o Kirikia, o Pamapuria, ka u ki Maira, he pa no Raikia.

⁶There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

⁶Na ka mau i te keneturio he kaipuke ki reira no Arehanaria, e rere ana ki Itari; ka utaina matou e ia ki runga.

⁷When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

⁷A, ka po maha i puhoi ai te rere, ka whiti whakauaua ki te ritenga atu o Hiniru, a, te tukua matou e te hau, ka miri haere matou i te taha o Kariti i te ritenga atu o Haramone;

⁸With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁸A ka pahemo whakauaua a reira, ka u matou ki tetahi kainga, ko Nga Kokoru Ataahua te ingoa; e tata ana a reira ki te pa o Rahia.

⁹When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

⁹A, ka maha nga ra ka pahemo, na kua kino te rerenga, no te mea kua pahemo ke te po nohopuku, a ka whakatupato a Paora,

¹⁰and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”

¹⁰Ka mea ki a ratou, E mara ma, e kite ana ahau i te kino, i te nui o te mate e pa mai i tenei rerenga, ehara i te mea ko te utanga anake me te kaipuke, engari ko tatou ano.

¹¹But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹¹Otira nui ke atu te aro o te keneturio ki te kapene raua ko te tangata nona te kaipuke i tana ki nga mea i korero ai a Paora.

¹²Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.

¹²¶ A, i te mea kihai i pai taua kokoru hei tunga i te hotoke, ka mea te tokomaha kia rere atu ano i reira, me kore e u ki Pinikia, ki reira tu ai i te hotoke; he kokoru ia no Kariti, e anga ana ki te uru ma tonga, ki te uru ma raki.

¹³When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

¹³A ka pa rekareka te tonga, ka mea ratou kua taea ta ratou i whakaaro ai, ka hutia te punga; a miri haere ana i Kariti.

¹⁴But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon. Or, “a northeaster.”

¹⁴Na kihai i roa ka puta he hau nui whakaharahara, ko Urokarairona te ingoa.

¹⁵When the ship was caught, and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.

¹⁵A ka kahakina te kaipuke, te ngongo ki te hau, na ka tukua e matou ki tana, a ka paea.

¹⁶Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

¹⁶Na ka miri i te taha ruru o tetahi motu, tona ingoa ko Karaura; ka riro whakauaua mai te poti i a matou:

¹⁷After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

¹⁷A ka hutia ake, ka hanga ki te whakau, meatia he awhi mo te tangere o te puke; a, no ka mataku kei eke ki te tahuna, ki Hatihi, ka tukua te ra, a ka paea haeretia.

¹⁸As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

¹⁸A, no ka tino akina matou e te tupuhi, i te aonga ake ka akiritia nga utanga;

¹⁹On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

¹⁹A i toru o nga ra ka maka atu e ratou ki o ratou ringa nga mea ake o te kaipuke.

²⁰When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

²⁰A he maha nga ra i kore ai e puta te ra me nga whetu, kihai ano i iti te tupuhi i akina ai matou, na ka mahue katoa to matou whakaaro ki te ora.

²¹When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

²¹¶ Heoi ka roa te nohopuku, na ka tu a Paora i waenganui o ratou, ka mea, E mara ma, engari ra me i rongo koutou ki ahau, kia kaua e rere mai i Kariti, kei pa mai tenei kino, tenei mate.

²²Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

²²Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kia marama te ngakau: e kore hoki e mate tetahi o koutou, ko te kaipuke anake.

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

²³I tu hoki ki toku taha i tenei po he anahera na te Atua, nana nei ahau, ko ia taku e karakia atu nei,

²⁴saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

²⁴I mea mai, Aua e mataku, e Paora; me tu koe ki te aroaro o Hiha: nana, kua hoatu ki a koe e te Atua te hunga katoa e rere tahi na koutou.

²⁵Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

²⁵Na kia marama te ngakau, e mara ma: e whakapono ana hoki ahau ki te Atua, e rite ano ki tana i korero mai ai ki ahau.

²⁶But we must run aground on a certain island.”

²⁶Otira kua takoto te tikanga kia eke tatou ki tetahi motu.

²⁷But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.

²⁷Na i te tekau ma wha o nga po, i a matou e kahakihakina ana i te moana o Aria, i waenganui po, ka mea nga heramana kei te whakatata ratou ki tetahi whenua;

²⁸They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. 20 fathoms = 120 feet = 36.6 meters After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms. 15 fathoms = 90 feet = 27.4 meters

²⁸Na ka whakatatutu ratou, ka kite e rua tekau maro: a ka neke tata atu, ka whakatatutu ano, ka kite kotahi tekau ma rima maro.

²⁹Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

²⁹Na ka mataku kei paea matou ki nga toka, ka tukua nga punga e wha i te kei, ka hiahia ki te awatea.

³⁰As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,

³⁰A, i nga heramana e mea ana kia oma atu i te kaipuke, e tuku ana hoki i te poti ki te moana, he whakaware, kia kiia ai e tukua ana etahi punga i te ihu.

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

³¹Ka mea a Paora ki te keneturio ratou ko nga hoia, Ki te kore enei e noho ki te kaipuke, e kore koutou e taea te whakaora.

³²Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.

³²Katahi ka tapahia nga whakaheke o te poti e nga hoia, a tukua ana kia taka atu.

³³While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

³³A i te mea meake puao te ra, ka tohe a Paora ki a ratou katoa kia kai, ka mea, Ko te tekau ma wha tenei o nga ra e tatari nei koutou, e nohopuku nei, te o te kai.

³⁴Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”

³⁴Koia ahau ka tohe nei kia kai: ko tetahi mea hoki tenei e ora ai koutou: e kore hoki e ngahoro tetahi huruhuru o te o tetahi o koutou,

³⁵When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.

³⁵A, no tana korerotanga i enei kupu, ka mau ki te taro, ka whakawhetai ki te Atua i te aroaro o te katoa: a ka whawhati, ka timata te kai.

³⁶Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

³⁶Na ka marama nga ngakau o ratou katoa, ka kai ano ratou.

³⁷In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.

³⁷Na e rua rau e whitu tekau ma ono matou katoa i te kaipuke.

³⁸When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

³⁸A, no ka makona i te kai, ka whakamama ratou i te kaipuke, ka akiritia te witi ki te moana.

³⁹When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

³⁹A ka ao te ra kihai ratou i mohio ki tera whenua; engari i kite ratou i tetahi kokoru he one to reira, a ka mea ratou me kore e ahei te aki atu i te kaipuke ki roto.

⁴⁰Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

⁴⁰Na tapahia ana e ratou nga punga, tukua ana ki te moana, i whakakorokoroa ana nga here o te urungi, ka hutia ano te ra nui ki te hau, ka tika atu ki te one.

⁴¹But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

⁴¹A, ka puta atu ki tetahi wahi, he tai papakirua, ka whakaekea te kaipuke; a titi tonu te ihu, mau tonu, ko te kei i pakaru i te kaha o te ngaru.

⁴²The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

⁴²A, ki ta nga hoia whakaaro, me whakamate nga herehere, kei kau tetahi ki uta, kei oma.

⁴³But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;

⁴³Ko te keneturio ia i mea kia whakaorangia a Paora, kihai hoki i tukua ki ta ratou i whakaaro ai; na ka mea ia, kia matua peke atu te hunga e matau ana ki te kau, kia kau ki uta:

⁴⁴and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.

⁴⁴Ko era atu, ko etahi i runga i nga papa, ko etahi i runga i etahi o nga mea o te kaipuke. Heoi tae ora katoa ana ratou ki uta.
