Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
Pea 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.”
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Pea 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.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously pleaded Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
Pea 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.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Pea kuo mau fai lā mei ai, pea mau folau mo fakaū ʻi Saipalo, he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Pea kuo mau folau ʻi he tahi ʻo Silisia mo Pamifilia, pea mau aʻu atu ki Maila ʻi Lisia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
Pea ʻilo ai ʻe he ʻeikitau ʻae vaka mei ʻAlekisānitia, naʻe te u folau ki ʻItali; pea naʻa ne fakaheka ai ʻakimautolu.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come opposite to Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, opposite to Salmone;
Pea 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;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh unto which was the city of Lasea.
Pea 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.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi, pea kuo hoko ʻo faingataʻa ʻae folau, koeʻuhi kuo hili ʻae ʻaukai, pea valokiʻi ʻe Paula,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
ʻo 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.”
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
Ka naʻe tui lahi ʻae ʻeikitau ki he toutai mo e ʻeiki vaka, kae ʻikai ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.
Pea 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.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
Pea ʻi he angi iiki ʻae matangi tonga, pea nau pehē, kuo nau lavaʻi ia, naʻa nau fusi taula, ʻo folau ʻo ofi ki Keliti.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
Ka kuo fuofuoloa siʻi pē, pea puke ʻae matangi mālohi, ʻoku ui ko e “ʻUlokitone.”
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
Pea ʻi he moʻua ai ʻae vaka, mo e ʻikai faʻa fakatauala, naʻa mau hafu ai.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Pea ʻi heʻemau folau ʻo fakaū ʻi he motu ʻoku ui ko Kalauta, naʻe faingataʻa ʻaupito ʻemau maʻu mai ʻae vaka fokotuʻu:
17 Which when they had taken up, they used support cables, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksand, strake sail, and so were driven.
Pea 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.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
Pea ʻi heʻemau mātuʻaki tōmohopo ʻi he afā, ʻo pongipongi ai, naʻa nau tolo;
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the cordage of the ship.
Pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, naʻa nau laku ʻaki honau nima ʻae alanga vaka.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
Pea 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.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, all of you should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Pea 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.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou pehē atu kiate kimoutolu, “ke mou fiemālie: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai mate ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ko e vaka pē.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
He naʻe tuʻu ofi mai kiate au ʻi he poōni ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana au, pea ko ia ʻoku ou tauhi.
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given you all them that sail with you.
ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘ʻE Paula, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; he te ke aʻu atu koe ki he ʻao ʻo Sisa:
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Ko ia ʻae kau matāpule, ke mou fiemālie: he ʻoku ou tui ki he ʻOtua, ʻe fai ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kuo tala mai.”
26 Nevertheless we must be cast upon a certain island.
Ka ʻe tūkia ʻakitautolu ʻi ha motu ʻe taha.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the sailors deemed that they drew near to some country;
Pea 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;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
Pea 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.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Pea 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.
30 And as the sailors were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,
Pea 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;
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, all of you cannot be saved.
Ka 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.”
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Pea naʻe toki tutuʻu ʻe he kau tau ʻae maea ʻoe vaka fokotuʻu, pea ʻauhia ia.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that all of you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
Pea 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.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Pea 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.”
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
Pea 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.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some food.
Pea naʻa nau toki fiefia kotoa pē, pea kai foki ʻekinautolu.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Pea naʻa mau toko uangeau mo e toko fitungofulu ma toko ono ʻi he vaka.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Pea hili ʻenau fakamaʻamaʻa ʻae vaka, ʻo tolo ʻae uite ki tahi.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Pea 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.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
Pea kuo nau motuhi ʻae ngaahi taula, ʻo tuku pe ʻi tahi, pea veteange ʻae taufoe ʻoe foheʻuli, ʻonau fai ia, ke ʻalu ki ʻuta.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the front part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
Pea 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.
42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻae kautau ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau pōpula, telia naʻa kakau ha niʻihi, ʻo hao.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
Ka 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:
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
Pea 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.
