Ngāue 27
1And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.
1PEA kuo pau ke mau folau ki ʻItali, naʻa nau tuku ʻa Paula mo e kau pōpula kehe ki he tokotaha ko Suliusi hono hingoa, ko e ʻeikitau ʻi he “Kongakau ʻa ʻAokositusi.”
2And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.
2Pea naʻa mau heka ʻi he vaka mei ʻAtalamaito, naʻe te u folau ki he matātahi ʻo ʻEsia; pea naʻa mau fai ia, pea ko homau tokotaha ko ʻAlisitake, ko e Masitōnia mei Tesalonika.
3The next day we put in at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.
3Pea pongipongi hake ai, naʻa mau tuku taula ʻi Saitoni. Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Suliusi kia Paula, ʻo ne tukuange ia ke ʻalu ki ʻuta, ke ne maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻa hono kāinga.
4And putting out to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.
4Pea kuo mau fai lā mei ai, pea mau folau mo fakaū ʻi Saipalo, he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi.
5And when we had sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
5Pea kuo mau folau ʻi he tahi ʻo Silisia mo Pamifilia, pea mau aʻu atu ki Maila ʻi Lisia.
6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.
6Pea ʻilo ai ʻe he ʻeikitau ʻae vaka mei ʻAlekisānitia, naʻe te u folau ki ʻItali; pea naʻa ne fakaheka ai ʻakimautolu.
7We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
7Pea kuo ʻaho lahi mo ʻemau folau siʻi pē, he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi, pea kuo mau feʻunga nai mo Naitusi, pea ne mau folau ʻo fakaū ʻi Keliti, ʻo ofi ki Salamone;
8Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.
8Pea naʻe ʻikai mei tō ia, pea naʻa mau lava ki he potu ʻoku ui, Ko e taulanga lelei; ʻaia naʻe ofi ki ai ʻae kolo ko Lesea.
9Since much time had passed, and the voyage was now dangerous because even the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,
9Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi, pea kuo hoko ʻo faingataʻa ʻae folau, koeʻuhi kuo hili ʻae ʻaukai, pea valokiʻi ʻe Paula,
10saying, “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.”
10ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe kau matāpule, ʻoku ou ʻilo ko e folau ni ʻe tuʻutāmaki mo kovi lahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ki he ʻuta mo e vaka pē, ka ki heʻetau moʻui foki.”
11But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
11Ka naʻe tui lahi ʻae ʻeikitau ki he toutai mo e ʻeiki vaka, kae ʻikai ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula.
12And because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
12Pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai lelei ʻae taulanga ke nau ʻi ai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu afā, pea pehē ʻe he tokolahi ke fusi taula, ʻo ʻahiʻahi ke nau lava ki Finesi, ke nau ʻi ai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu afā; ko e taulanga ia ʻi Keliti, pea ʻoku ava ia ki he tonga-hihifo mo e lulunga.
13Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.
13Pea ʻi he angi iiki ʻae matangi tonga, pea nau pehē, kuo nau lavaʻi ia, naʻa nau fusi taula, ʻo folau ʻo ofi ki Keliti.
14But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land.
14Ka kuo fuofuoloa siʻi pē, pea puke ʻae matangi mālohi, ʻoku ui ko e “ʻUlokitone.”
15And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
15Pea ʻi he moʻua ai ʻae vaka, mo e ʻikai faʻa fakatauala, naʻa mau hafu ai.
16Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the ship’s boat.
16Pea ʻi heʻemau folau ʻo fakaū ʻi he motu ʻoku ui ko Kalauta, naʻe faingataʻa ʻaupito ʻemau maʻu mai ʻae vaka fokotuʻu:
17After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and thus they were driven along.
17Pea kuo nau fusi hake ia, pea nau tāliu, ʻo haʻihaʻi ʻae vaka: pea tuku fanā, ko e manavahē naʻa toka ʻae vaka ʻi he ʻoneʻone holo, pea mau hafu pe.
18Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day to jettison the cargo.
18Pea ʻi heʻemau mātuʻaki tōmohopo ʻi he afā, ʻo pongipongi ai, naʻa nau tolo;
19And on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
19Pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, naʻa nau laku ʻaki honau nima ʻae alanga vaka.
20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
20Pea ʻi he ʻikai hā mai ʻae laʻā pe ko e fetuʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi, pea ʻalo ʻae afā, naʻe mole ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻamanaki ki he moʻui.
21Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.
21Pea kuo fuoloa mo e ʻaukai pē, pea toki tuʻu hake ʻa Paula ʻi honau ʻao, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAe kau matāpule, naʻe totonu hoʻomou tui mai kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻa fusi taula ʻi Keliti, ke hoko ai ʻae kovi mo e maumau ni.
22Yet now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
22Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou pehē atu kiate kimoutolu, “ke mou fiemālie: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai mate ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ko e vaka pē.
23For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,
23He naʻe tuʻu ofi mai kiate au ʻi he poōni ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana au, pea ko ia ʻoku ou tauhi.
24and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
24ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘ʻE Paula, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; he te ke aʻu atu koe ki he ʻao ʻo Sisa:
25So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.
25Ko ia ʻae kau matāpule, ke mou fiemālie: he ʻoku ou tui ki he ʻOtua, ʻe fai ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kuo tala mai.”
26But we must run aground on some island.”
26Ka ʻe tūkia ʻakitautolu ʻi ha motu ʻe taha.
27When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.
27Pea kuo kakato ʻae pō ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea kuo mau hafu fano ʻi he tahi ʻo ʻAtilia, pea tuʻuapō nai, pea mahalo ʻae kau vaka kuo nau ofi ki ha fonua;
28So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.
28Pea naʻa nau tukutuku, pea ʻilo ko e ofa ʻe uangokumi: pea kuo nau ngaholo siʻi atu, pea toe tukutuku, pea ʻilo ko e ofa ʻe tekumi mā nima.
29And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.
29Pea naʻa nau manavahē telia naʻa mau toka ʻi ha hakau, pea nau lī ʻae taula ʻe fā ʻi he taumuli, mo nau fakaʻamu ki he ʻaho.
30And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship’s boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,
30Pea naʻe fai ke feholaki ʻae kau kauvaka mei he vaka, he naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻae vaka fokotuʻu ki tahi, ʻo hangē ko haʻanau fie ʻave taula ki he taumuʻa;
31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
31Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula ki he ʻeikitau mo e kau tau, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻakinautolu ni ʻi he vaka, ʻe ʻikai te mou moʻui.”
32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it go.
32Pea naʻe toki tutuʻu ʻe he kau tau ʻae maea ʻoe vaka fokotuʻu, pea ʻauhia ia.
33As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.
33Pea kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho, pea kole ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ke nau kai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hono hongofulu ma fā eni ʻoe ʻaho mo hoʻomou nofo, ʻo taʻefai-hoʻomou-keinanga.
34Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.”
34Pea ko ia ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu ke mou kai; ke mālohi ai homou sino: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tō ʻi he ʻulu ʻo homou tokotaha ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha.”
35And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat.
35Pea kuo pehē ʻene lea, pea ne toʻo ʻae mā, ʻo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē: pea kuo ne pakiʻi ia, pea ne kamata kai.
36Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.
36Pea naʻa nau toki fiefia kotoa pē, pea kai foki ʻekinautolu.
37(We were in all 276 persons in the ship.)
37Pea naʻa mau toko uangeau mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko ono ʻi he vaka.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
38Pea hili ʻenau fakamaʻamaʻa ʻae vaka, ʻo tolo ʻae uite ki tahi.
39Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore.
39Pea ʻi heʻene ʻaho, naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae fonua: ka naʻa nau vakai ki he ava naʻe ai hono fanga, pea naʻa nau holi ʻo kapau ʻe mafai, ke fakaʻoho ai ʻae vaka.
40So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.
40Pea kuo nau motuhi ʻae ngaahi taula, ʻo tuku pe ʻi tahi, pea veteange ʻae taufoe ʻoe foheʻuli, ʻonau fai ia, ke ʻalu ki ʻuta.
41But striking a reef, they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf.
41Pea naʻa nau tō ki he potu ʻoku fetaulaki ai ʻae tahi ʻe ua, ʻonau fakatoka ai ʻae vaka; pea naʻe toka maʻu ʻae taumuʻa, pea ʻikai faʻa ueʻi, ka naʻe maumau hono taumuli ʻe he mālohi ʻoe peau.
42The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape.
42Pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻae kautau ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau pōpula, telia naʻa kakau ha niʻihi, ʻo hao.
43But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land,
43Ka naʻe fie fakamoʻui ʻa Paula ʻe he ʻeikitau mei honau loto, ko ia ne ne taʻofi ʻakinautolu; ʻo ne fekau kiate kinautolu ʻoku faʻa kakau ke nau hopo, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki ʻuta:
44and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land.
44Pea ko hono toe, ko e niʻihi ʻi he laupapa, ko e niʻihi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe vaka. Pea fai fai ia pea mau hao kotoa pē ki ʻuta.
