Oihana 27
1 A PAA iho la ka manao e holo makou i Italia, haawi ae la lakou ia Paulo, a me kekahi poe i paa pu, i kahi lunahaneri, o Iulio kona inoa, no ka papa koa o Auguseto.
When [the Governor and those who advised him] decided that it was time for us [(exc)] to get on a ship and go to Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners into the hands/care of an army captain whose name was Julius. [He was the one who would guard us on the journey]. Julius was [an officer] in charge of [a group of] 100 [soldiers that people called] ‘the Emperor Augustus Group’.
2 A ee makou i kekahi moku no Aderamuteno, a hemo aku la me ka manao e holo ma ke kapa o Asia; a o Arisetareko, no Teselonike i Makedonia, kekahi me makou.
So we got on a ship that had come from Adramyttium [city in Asia province. The ship] was going to [return there, stopping at] cities along the coast of Asia [province]. Aristarchus, [a fellow believer who was] from Thessalonica [city] in Macedonia [province], went with us.
3 A ia la ae, pae makou i Sidona. Hana lokomaikai aku la o Iulio ia Paulo, ae aku la ia ia e hele i kona mau makamaka e hoomaha ia ia iho.
The day after [the ship sailed], we arrived at Sidon [city]. Julius kindly told Paul that he could go and see his friends [who lived there], so that they could give him whatever he might need. [So Paul visited the believers there].
4 A hemo aku la makou mai ia wahi aku, holo makou malalo o Kupero, no ka mea, pakuikui mai ka makani.
Then the ship left [Sidon], but the winds were blowing against us [(exc)], so [the ship] went along [the north] side of Cyprus [Island], the side that is sheltered [from the wind].
5 Holo ae la makou a hala ke kai o Kilikia, a me Pamepulia, a hiki makou ma Mura o Lukia.
After that, we crossed over the sea close to the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia [provinces. The ship] arrived at Myra [city, which is] in Lycia [province]. [We got off the ship there].
6 A malaila loaa i ka lunahaneri he moku no Alekanederia, e holo ana i Italia; hoee ae la oia ia makou iloko.
In Myra, [people told] Julius that a ship [was there that had come] from Alexandria [city] and would [soon] sail to Italy. So he arranged for us to get [on that ship], [and we left].
7 Holo lohi aku la makou i na la he nui loa, a hiki apuepue makou i Kenido, no ka mea, aole i aeia ka makani ia makou, holo ae la makou malalo o Kerete, ma Salemone;
We sailed slowly for several days and finally arrived close to the coast [of Asia province], near Cnidus [town. After that], the wind [was very strong and] did not allow the ship to move straight ahead [westward. So instead], we sailed [southward] along the side of Crete [Island that is] sheltered [from the wind], and we passed [near Cape] Salmone.
8 A hala ia wahi me ka apuepne hiki aku la makou i kahi i kapaia o Naawamaikai, kahi i kokoke mai i ke kulanakauhale o Lasaia.
[The wind was still strong, and it prevented the ship from moving ahead fast]. So we moved slowly along the coast [of Crete], and we arrived at a harbor that was called Fair Havens, near Lasea [town].
9 Ua loihi loa ka manawa i hala, a ua hiki no hoi ka wa pono ole ke holo, no ka mea, ua hala ka wa hookeai, alaila ao mai la o Paulo ia lakou,
Much time had passed, so it would have been dangerous if we [(exc)] had traveled [farther] by ship [because after that time of the year] [MTY] [the sea often became very stormy]. So Paul said to the men [on the ship],
10 I mai la, E na kanaka, ke ike nei au i keia holo ana, e pilikia ana, a me ka lilo nui, aole ka ukana a me ka moku wale no, aka, o ko kakon mau ola kekahi.
“Men, I perceive that [if we(inc) travel by ship] now, it will be disastrous for us. A storm may destroy the ship and the cargo, and possibly we will drown.”
11 Manao iho la ka lunahaneri i ka ke kahu moku, a me ka mea nona ka moku, aole i na mea i oleloia mai e Paulo.
But the officer [did not listen to] what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the pilot [of the ship] and the owner of the ship advised.
12 Aole hoi i pono loa kela awa i ka hooilo, no ia mea, hoike mai ka nui i ka manao e holo aku, ina paha lakou e hiki aku i Poinike i ka hooilo, he awa no ia ma Kerete e huli ana ma Liba, a me Koro.
The harbor where the ship had stopped was not a good place to remain during the winter [when the weather frequently becomes stormy. So most of the people on the ship decided that we(exc) should leave there, because they hoped that we] could stay at Phoenix [port] during the winter, if we could possibly arrive there. That harbor was open to the sea in two directions, [but the strong winds did not blow there].
13 A aniani mai la ka makani, mai ke kukuluhema mai, manao iho la lakou, ua loaa ko lakou manao, hemo aku la a holo pili loko aku la i Kerete.
Then a gentle wind began to blow [from the south], and the [crew members] thought that they could travel as they had decided [to do. So] they lifted [the anchor up out of the sea], and the ship sailed [westward] along the [southern] shore of Crete [Island].
14 Aole i emo, pa mai la kekahi makani ino, he Eurokeludo ka inoa.
But after a while, a wind that was very strong blew across the island [from the north side and hit the ship. That wind was called] {[People] called that wind} “the Northeast Wind.”
15 Punia iho la ka moku, aole hiki ke hooku i ka makani, hookuu ae la makou a holo.
It blew strongly against the [front of] the ship. The result was that we could not keep going in the direction [in which we had been going]. So the sailors let the wind move the ship in the direction [that the wind] was blowing.
16 A holo ae la makou malalo o kekahi aina, ua kapaia o Kelaude, hiki apuepue ia makou ke paa iho i ka waapa,
The ship then passed a small island named Cauda. We passed along the side [of the island that] sheltered [the ship from the wind]. Then [while the ship was moving along], the sailors lifted the lifeboat up [out of the water] and tied it [on the deck. But the strong wind made it] difficult even to do that.
17 A hukiia ia iluna, hana iho la lakou i mea e kokua ai, hawele iho la lakou malalo o ka moku, a makau iho la o haule lakou ma ka Sureti, no ia mea, kuu iho la lakou i ka pea, a hooholoia pela.
After the sailors [hoisted/lifted] the lifeboat onto the ship, they tied ropes around the ship’s hull to strengthen the ship. The sailors were afraid that, [because the wind was pushing the ship], it might run onto the sandbanks off the coast of Libya to the south [and get stuck there. So] they lowered the largest sail [so that the ship would move slower. Even so], the wind continued to move the ship along. [The wind and the waves] continued to toss the ship about roughly, so on the next day the sailors began to throw overboard the things that the ship was carrying.
18 Kahulihuli loa makou i ka ino, nolaila, ia la ae, hoomama iho la lakou i ka moku.
19 A i ke kolu o ka la, na ko makou lima no i hoolei aku i ka ukana pili i ka moku.
On the third [day after the stormy wind had begun to blow], the sailors/we [MTY] threw overboard [most of] the sails, ropes, and poles, [in order to make the ship lighter].
20 A hala ae la na la he nui, aole hoi i ikea mai ka la a me na hoku, aole hoi okana mai o ka ino i kau ia maluna o makou, alaila pau aku la ka manaolana e hoolaia'i makou.
The wind continued to blow very strongly, [and the sky was full of dark clouds] day and night. We could not see the sun or the stars for many days, [so we could not determine where we were. And the wind] continued to blow violently. So we [(exc)] finally thought that we would drown in the sea.
21 A loihi ka ai ole ana, alaila ku mai la o Paulo iwaenakonu o lakou, i mai la, E na kanaka, ina oukou i hoolohe mai i ka'u, aole hoi i hemo mai, mai Kerete mai, ina ua pono, alaila aole kakou i loaa i keia ino, a me keia poho.
None of us on the ship had eaten for many days. [Then one day], Paul stood up in front of us and said, “[Friends], you should have listened to me [when I said] that we [(inc)] should not sail from Crete. Then we would have been safe, and the ship and its cargo would be in good condition [LIT].
22 Ano hoi, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e olioli oukou; no ka mea, aole e lilo ana kekahi ola o oukou, o ka moku wale no.
But now, I urge you, do not be afraid, because none of us will die. [The storm] will destroy the ship but not us.
23 No ka mea, i ka po nei, ku mai la kekahi anela o ke Akua, nona no wan, a oia hoi ka'u e malama nei,
I [know this], because last night God, the one to whom I belong and whom I serve, [sent] an angel [who came and] stood by me.
24 I mai la ia, Mai makau oe, e Paulo; e pono ia oe ke ku aku imua i ke alo o Kaisara; aia hoi, ua haawi mai la ke Akua i ka poe a pau e holo pu ana me oe nau.
The angel said to me, ‘Paul, do not be afraid! You [(sg)] must [go to Rome] and stand before the Emperor there [so that he can judge you]. I want you to know that God has made it clear to me that all those who are traveling by ship with you [will also survive].’
25 Nolaila, e kanaka e, e olioli oukou; no ka mea, ke manaoio aku nei au i ke Akua, e hanaia mai, e like me ka mea i oleloia mai ai ia'u.
So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
26 Aka hoi, e ili ana kakou ma kekahi mokupuni.
However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
27 A hiki i ka po umikumamaha, na hooholoholoia ae la makou ma Aderia, a i ke aumoe, manao iho la na luina e kokoke ana lakou i ka aina.
On the fourteenth night [after the storm had begun, the ship] was still being blown {the wind was still blowing [the ship]} across the Adriatic sea. About midnight, the sailors sensed that the ship was getting close to land.
28 A hoailona iho la, a he iwakalua anana i loaa ia lakou; a panee iki aku, hoailona hon, a loaa he umikumamalima anana.
So they lowered [a weight on a rope] to measure how deep [the water was]. When they pulled the rope up again, they measured it and saw that the water was (120 ft./37 meters) deep. They went a little farther and lowered the rope again. [That time], they saw that the water was [only] about (90 ft./28 meters) deep.
29 Makau ae la o ili makou ma kahi pohaku, hoolei iho la lakou i na heleuma eha ma ka hope o ka moku, a iini iho la i ke ao ana ae.
They were afraid that the [ship] might go onto some rocks, so they threw out four anchors from the [ship’s] stern/back and continued to wish/pray that it would soon be dawn [so that they could see where the ship was going].
30 A imi na luina e mahuka aku, mai ka moku aku, ua kuu iho la i ka waapa ilalo i ke kai, me he mea la e lawe aku ana i mau heleuma, ma ka ihu;
Some of the sailors were planning to escape from the ship, so they lowered the lifeboat into the sea. In order [that no one would know what they planned to do], they pretended [that] they wanted to lower some anchors from the [ship’s] front/bow.
31 Olelo ae la o Paulo i ka lunahaneri, a me ka poe koa, Ina aole lakou nei e noho i ka moku, aole loa e hiki ia oukou ke hoolaia.
But Paul said to the army officer and soldiers, “If the sailors do not stay in the ship, you have no hope of being saved.”
32 Alaila oki ae la ka poe koa i na kaula o ka waapa, a kuu ia ia e haule iho la.
So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
33 A kokoke ae la i ke ao, koi ae la o Paulo ia lakou a pau, e ai i ka ai, i ae la, Eia ka la umikumamaha o ko oukou hookeai ana, ua noho oukou me ka lalau ole i ka ai.
Just before dawn, Paul urged everyone [on the ship] to eat some food. He said, “For the past 14 days you have been waiting and watching and not eating anything.
34 No ia mea, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e lalau i ka ai; no ka mea, o ko oukou mea ola ia. No ka mea, aole e haule kekahi lauo, ho o ko oukou mau poo.
So, [now] I urge you to eat some food. We [(inc)] need to do that in order to stay alive. I [tell you to do that because I know that] none of you will drown [IDM].”
35 A i olelo ana pela, lalau iho la ia i ka berena, hoomaikai aku la i ke Akua imua o lakou a pau; a wawahi ae la, ai iho la.
After Paul had said that, while everyone was watching, he took some bread and thanked God [for it. Then he broke the bread and began to eat some of it].
36 Alaila, olioli iho la lakou a pau, a o lakou kekahi i lalau i ka ai.
The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
37 A o na uhane a pau, maluna o ka moku, elua o makou haneri a me kanahikukumamaono kanaka.
Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
38 A maona ae la lakou i ka ai, hoomama iho la lakou i ka moku, a hoolei iho la i ka hua palaoa iloko o ke kai.
When everyone had eaten as much as they wanted, they threw the grain [that the ship was carrying] into the sea, and this made the ship lighter.
39 A ao ae la, aole lakou i ike ia aina; kaunana nae lakou i kekahi kaikuono me ke kahakai. Mauao iho la lakou, ina e hiki, e hookomo i ka moku ilaila.
At dawn, [we(exc) could see] land, [but the sailors] did not recognize [the place]. However, they could see that there was a bay and [a wide area of] sand at the water’s edge. They planned that, if it was possible, they would steer the ship onto [the beach].
40 Ooki iho la lakou i na heleuma, a waiho iho la i ke kai, a wehe iho la i na kaula o ka hoeuli, a huki i ka pea nui i ka makani, a holo iuka.
[So some of the sailors] cut the anchor [ropes and] let the anchors fall into the sea. At the same time, [other sailors] untied the [ropes that] fastened the rudders, [so that they could steer the ship again]. Then [the sailors] raised the sail at the front/bow of the ship so that the wind [would blow the ship forward], and the ship headed towards the shore.
41 Ika iho la lakou ilalo i kahi wili au, ili iho la ka moku, paa iho la ka ihu, aole loa i hemo, nahaha iho la ka hope i ka ikaika o na ale.
But the ship hit a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck there and could not move, and big waves beat against the back of the ship and it began to break apart.
42 Manao iho la ka poe koa e pepehi i ka poe paahao, o au aku kekahi o lakou a pakele.
The soldiers said [to one another, “Let’s] kill [all] the prisoners [on the ship], so that they will not [be able to] swim [away and] escape.” [They planned to do that because they were sure] that officials [would order them to be executed if they let the prisoners escape].
43 Makemake iho la ka lunahaneri e hoola ia Paulo, hoole aku la i ko lakou manao; kena aku la i ka poe hiki ke au, o lakou ke lele mua a hiki iuka.
But [Julius], the army captain, wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from doing what they planned to do. Instead, he [commanded] first that everyone who could swim should jump into the water and swim to land.
44 A o ke koena, ma na papa kahi, a ma na mea o ka moku kahi; a pela lakou a pau i pakele ai a hiki i ka aina.
[Then he told] the others [to hold] onto planks or pieces from the ship [and go towards shore. We(exc) did what he said, and] in that way all of us arrived safely on land.
