Acts 28:1-11
Maori Bible
28 A ka ora matou, katahi ka mohio ko Merita te ingoa o te motu.
2 Na kihai i nohinohi te atawhai a nga tangata maori ki a matou: ka tahuna he kapura, whakamanuhiritia ana matou katoa, no te mea e ua ana te ua, no te matao hoki.
3 Na ka kohikohia e Paora he pupu wahie, a maka ana e ia ki te kapura: heoi puta mai ana he neke i te wera, ka mau ki tona ringa.
4 A, i te kitenga o nga tangata maori i te ngarara e werewere ana ki tona ringa, ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Koia, he tangata kohuru tenei, ka ora nei ia i te moana, na kihai i tukua e te Tika kia ora.
5 Otiia i ruia atu e ia te ngarara ki te kapura, a kihai ia i mate, kihai i aha.
6 Na whanga noa ratou kia tetere ia, kia hinga whakarere ranei, kia mate: heoi ka roa noa to ratou whanganga, a, i te kitenga kahore he aha i pa ki a ia, ka puta ke o ratou whakaaro, ka mea, he atua ia.
7 I taua wahi te kainga o te tino rangatira o te motu, ko Pupiriu te ingoa: he manuhiri matou nana; e toru nga ra i atawhaitia ai matou e ia.
8 Na i te takoto te papa o Pupiriu, e mate ana i te kirika, i te koripi: heoi ka tomo a Paora ki a ia, ka inoi, ka whakapa i ona ringa ki a ia, a ora ake ia.
9 A, i te meatanga o tenei, na ka haere mai ano era atu o te motu he mate o ratou, a whakaorangia ana:
10 Nui atu ano te honore i whakahonoretia ai matou e ratou; a i to matou rerenga ka utaina nga mea e rite ana ma matou.
11 A muri iho i nga marama e toru, ka rere matou i runga i tetahi kaipuke o Arehanaria, i tu nei ki taua motu i te hotoke, ko Katoro raua ko Poruku te tohu.

Acts 28:1-11
New International Version
Paul Ashore on Malta
28 Once safely on shore, we(A) found out that the island(B) was called Malta. 2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold. 3 Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand,(C) they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.”(D) 5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.(E) 6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.(F)
7 There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. 8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer,(G) placed his hands on him(H) and healed him.(I) 9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. 10 They honored us(J) in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.
Paul’s Arrival at Rome
11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship(K) with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux.
