The pronoun he refers to the commander, and the pronoun him refers to Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the commander … Paul]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τὸ ἀσφαλὲς
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄλλοι Δέ ἄλλο τὶ ἐπεφώνουν ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ μή δυναμένου Δέ αὐτοῦ γνῶναι τό ἀσφαλές διά τόν θόρυβον ἐκέλευσεν ἄγεσθαι αὐτόν εἰς τήν παρεμβολήν)
Luke is using the adjective certain as a noun to mean what was reliable or true about Paul. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the truth about Paul]
