使徒行传 27
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
保罗前往罗马
27 他们决定让我们坐船去意大利，于是将保罗和其他囚犯都交给一位皇家兵团的百夫长犹流看管。 2 有一艘亚大米田的船准备沿着亚细亚海岸航行。我们上船启航，同船的还有帖撒罗尼迦的马其顿人亚里达古。 3 第二天，船停泊在西顿港，犹流宽待保罗，准他探望当地的朋友，接受他们的照应。
4 我们从那里启航后，由于遇到逆风，便沿着塞浦路斯的背风岸前行， 5 经过基利迦和旁非利亚附近的海域，来到吕迦的每拉。 6 百夫长在那里找到一艘从亚历山大驶往意大利的船，吩咐我们换搭那艘船。
7 一连多日船速十分缓慢，好不容易才驶近革尼土。因为强风船无法前行，只好沿着克里特背风岸航行，经过撒摩尼角。 8 船沿着海岸行进，几经艰难才到达拉西亚城附近的佳澳。
9 我们耽误了不少日子，禁食的节期[a]已过，航行很危险，保罗劝告众人说： 10 “各位，照我看来，如果我们继续航行，不只会损失货物和船只，甚至连我们的性命也难保。” 11 但那百夫长只相信船主和舵手的话，不接受保罗的劝告。 12 由于佳澳港不适宜过冬，大部分人赞成启航，以为或许可以赶到菲尼基过冬。菲尼基是克里特的一个港口，一面向西南，一面向西北。
惊涛骇浪
13 那时，南风徐徐吹来，他们以为可以按计划继续航行，于是起锚沿着克里特行进。 14 可是出发不久，便遇到从岛上刮来的猛烈的东北风[b]， 15 船被刮得失去控制，我们只好任船随风漂流。 16 船沿着一个叫高达的小岛的背风面前进，大家好不容易才控制住救生船。 17 水手把救生船拉上甲板后，又用绳索加固船身。因为怕船会在赛耳底搁浅，于是收起船帆，任船漂流。 18 第二天，风浪依然猛烈，他们开始把货物抛进海里。 19 第三天，他们又亲手把船上的用具也抛掉了。 20 一连好几天都看不到太阳、星辰，风浪肆虐，我们完全放弃了得救的指望。
保罗安慰众人
21 这时大家已经多日没有进食，保罗站在他们当中说：“各位当初如果肯听我劝，不离开克里特，就不会遭受这些损失了。 22 现在我劝大家放心，你们无人会丧命，只是这艘船保不住了。 23 因为昨天晚上，我所归属、所事奉的上帝差遣天使站在我身旁， 24 对我说，‘保罗，不用怕，你一定会站在凯撒面前，上帝也会保全所有和你同船的人。’ 25 所以请各位放心，我深信上帝所说的话必然会成就。 26 只是我们一定会在某个岛上搁浅。”
27 第十四天的晚上，我们在亚得里亚海漂来漂去。到了午夜时分，水手都觉得离陆地不远了， 28 就探测水深，结果约三十六米深，再往前一点，只有二十七米左右。 29 他们怕会触礁，就从船尾抛下四个锚，暂停前进，期待天亮。 30 水手们想要弃船逃生，假装要从船头抛锚，却偷偷地把救生船放到海里。 31 保罗对百夫长和士兵们说：“除非他们留下来，否则你们都活不了！” 32 士兵听了，就砍断绳索，让救生船漂走。
33 到了黎明时分，保罗劝大家吃东西，说：“你们提心吊胆、不思饮食已经十四天了。 34 我劝你们吃点东西，好活下去，你们必定毫发无损。” 35 保罗说完后拿起饼，当众感谢上帝，然后掰开吃。 36 于是大家都振作起来，吃了些东西。 37 船上共有二百七十六人。 38 吃饱了以后，为了要减轻船的重量，他们把麦子抛进海里。
安全登陆
39 天亮的时候，水手发现了一片不认识的陆地，看见一个有沙滩的海湾，便决定尽可能在那里靠岸。 40 于是砍断锚索，把锚丢在海里，松开舵绳，升起前帆，顺着风势驶向那沙滩。 41 可是，遇到两流交汇的水域，就在那里搁了浅，船头卡在那里不能动弹，船尾被大浪撞裂了。
42 士兵们想把囚犯全杀掉，怕有人乘机游泳逃走。 43 但百夫长为了救保罗，不准他们轻举妄动，下令会游泳的先跳到海里游上岸。 44 其余的人利用木板和船体的碎片游上岸。结果，全船的人都安全上岸了。

Sailing for Rome
27 When it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment.(A) 2 So when we had boarded a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, intending to sail to ports along the coast of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.(B) 3 The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.(C) 4 When we had put out to sea from there, we sailed along the northern coast[a] of Cyprus because the winds were against us. 5 After sailing through the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.(D) 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board. 7 Sailing slowly for many days, we came with difficulty as far as Cnidus. Since the wind did not allow us to approach it, we sailed along the south side[b] of Crete off Salmone. 8 With yet more difficulty we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens near the city of Lasea.
Paul’s Advice Ignored
9 By now much time had passed, and the voyage was already dangerous. Since the Fast[c](E) was already over, Paul gave his advice 10 and told them, “Men, I can see that this voyage is headed toward damage and heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives.” 11 But the centurion paid attention to the captain and the owner of the ship rather than to what Paul said.(F) 12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to set sail from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenix, a harbor on Crete(G) open to the southwest and northwest, and to winter there.
Storm-Tossed Ship
13 When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought they had achieved their purpose. They weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14 But not long afterward, a fierce wind called the “northeaster”[d] rushed down from the island. 15 Since the ship was caught and was unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 After running under the shelter of a little island called Cauda,[e] we were barely able to get control of the skiff. 17 After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Then, fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis,[f] they lowered the drift-anchor, and in this way they were driven along. 18 Because we were being severely battered by the storm, they began to jettison the cargo the next day.(H) 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s gear overboard with their own hands.
20 For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope that we would be saved was disappearing. 21 Since many were going without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “You men should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete and sustain this damage and loss. 22 Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship. 23 For this night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by me,(I) 24 and said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And, look! God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’ 25 Therefore, take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me.(J) 26 However, we must run aground on a certain island.”(K)
27 When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea,[g] and in the middle of the night the sailors thought they were approaching land.[h] 28 They took a sounding and found it to be 120 feet[i] deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be 90 feet[j] deep. 29 Then, fearing we might run aground in some rocky place, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come.
30 Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow. 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut the ropes holding the skiff and let it drop away.
33 When it was about daylight, Paul urged them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and going without food, having eaten nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take some food. For this has to do with your survival, since none of you will lose a hair from your head.”(L) 35 After he said these things and had taken some bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all of them, and when he broke it, he began to eat.(M) 36 They all became encouraged and took food themselves. 37 In all there were 276 of us on the ship.(N) 38 When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the grain overboard into the sea.
Shipwreck
39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land but sighted a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore if they could.(O) 40 After casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and headed for the beach. 41 But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow jammed fast and remained immovable, while the stern began to break up by the pounding of the waves.
42 The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners so that no one could swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion kept them from carrying out their plan because he wanted to save Paul, so he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land. 44 The rest were to follow, some on planks and some on debris from the ship. In this way, everyone safely reached the shore.(P)

King James Version
27 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.
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.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
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.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
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 lieth toward the south west and north west.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
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.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
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.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 And as the shipmen 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 foreship,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
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.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
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.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
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:
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.

往罗马出航
27 既然决定了我们要坐船往意大利去，他们就把保罗和其他一些囚犯交给皇家军团的一个名叫犹利乌斯的百夫长。 2 有一条阿德米提的船，要开往亚细亚省沿岸各地，我们就上那船出发了。有一个从帖撒罗尼迦来的马其顿人亚里达古，与我们在一起。 3 第二天，我们在西顿靠岸。犹利乌斯宽待保罗，准许他到朋友那里去接受照顾。 4 我们从那里起航，因为逆风，就沿着塞浦路斯岛的背风岸航行。 5 度过了奇里乞亚省和潘菲利亚省一带的海域，在吕基亚省的每拉登陆。 6 百夫长在那里找到了一条亚历山大的船，要开往意大利去，就安排我们上了那船。 7 一连好几天，船航行得很慢，好不容易才到了尼多斯港附近。因为风拦阻我们往前，我们就从撒摩尼岬附近经过，沿着克里特岛的背风岸航行。 8 我们沿着它航行，好不容易来到一个叫做“美丽港”的地方；离那里不远，有个城叫做拉塞亚。
不听保罗的建议
9 又过了很久，这次航程已经很危险，又因为已经过了禁食日[a]，保罗就劝大家， 10 说：“各位，我看这次航程，不仅是货物和船，就是我们的生命财产也将会受到伤害和严重的损失。” 11 可是百夫长信任了船长和船主，不信任保罗所说的， 12 而且这港口不适合过冬，大多数人就主张从那里开船，或许能够到达菲尼斯过冬。菲尼斯是克里特岛上的一个港口，一面朝西南，一面朝西北。
风暴中飘摇
13 这时，南风微微吹起，他们以为正合所愿，就起了锚，沿着克里特岛航行。 14 但是过了不久，一股叫做“东北风”的飓风，从岛上袭来。 15 船被困住，顶不住风，我们只好任凭船被刮走。 16 我们沿着一个叫做克劳达小岛的背风岸行驶的时候，好不容易才控制住救生艇。 17 水手们[b]把救生艇拖上来以后，就用缆绳绕过大船底绑好；又怕在叙尔提斯浅滩上会搁浅，就把锚放低，任船漂流。 18 我们被暴风猛烈地袭击。第二天，他们开始把货物抛在海里。 19 第三天，他们又亲手把船上的用具抛出去。
20 一连好几天见不到太阳和星星，又有暴风雨催逼着，最后我们连获救的希望都断绝了。 21 那时，大家已经很久没有吃东西了，保罗站在他们当中说：“哦，各位啊！你们当初应该听我的，不从克里特开船，省得有这样的伤害和损失。 22 只是现在我劝你们振作起来，因为你们当中不会有人失去性命，不过会失去这条船。 23 要知道，我所归属、所事奉的神，他的一位天使昨天晚上站在我身边， 24 说：‘保罗，不要怕！你必须站在凯撒面前。看哪，所有与你同船的人，神都赐给你了。’ 25 所以请各位振作起来，因为我相信神怎样对我说，事情也会怎样成就。 26 不过我们必须搁浅在一个岛上。”
27 到了第十四天的晚上，我们在亚得里亚海上飘来飘去。约在半夜，水手们认为已经靠近陆地了， 28 就测了水深，发现有三十七公尺[c]；稍往前行，再测一测，发现有二十七公尺[d]。 29 他们担心会撞到礁石，就从船尾抛下四个锚，祈盼着天亮。
30 水手们想离船逃生，就把救生艇放到海里，却假装要从船头抛锚。 31 保罗对百夫长和士兵们说：“这些人如果不留在船上，你们就不能获救。” 32 于是士兵们就把救生艇的绳索砍断，由它漂去。
33 天快亮的时候[e]，保罗劝大家用饭，说：“你们一直挨饿等候，什么都不吃，今天是第十四天了。 34 所以我劝你们用饭，因为这是关于你们得救的事。要知道，你们中间，没有一个人会失去[f]一根头发。” 35 说完这些话，保罗就拿起饼，在大家面前感谢神，然后掰开来，开始吃。 36 于是大家受到鼓励，也吃了饭。 37 我们在船上的，共有两百七十六个人[g]。 38 大家吃饱了饭，就把麦子扔到海里，减轻船的负荷。
船只遇难
39 天亮的时候，他们虽然不认识那地方，却看见一个有沙滩的海湾，就决定尽可能地把船拢进去。 40 于是他们砍断了锚，把它们丢弃在海里，同时松开舵绳，拉起了前帆，顺着风向岸前进。 41 但遇到海水夹流的地方，船就搁了浅，船头被卡住，动弹不得，而船尾也开始被波浪的猛力冲散了。
42 士兵们的计划是要把囚犯杀了，免得有人游泳逃脱。 43 可是百夫长想救保罗，就拦阻了他们的计划，命令会游泳的人跳下船，先到岸上去， 44 其余的人，有的用木板，有的用船上的东西跟着[h]；这样，大家就都获救上岸了。
