使徒行传 27
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
保羅啟程往羅馬
27 他們決定要我們坐船往意大利去,就把保羅和別的囚犯,交給皇家軍營裡的一個百夫長,名叫猶流。 2 有一艘亞大米田來的船,要開往亞西亞沿岸一帶的地方,我們上去,船就開了。跟我們在一起的,還有馬其頓的帖撒羅尼迦人亞里達古。 3 第二天到了西頓,猶流寬待保羅,准他去看看朋友,接受他們的招待。 4 我們又從那裡開船,因為逆風,就沿著塞浦路斯背風而行。 5 渡過基利家和旁非利亞一帶的海面,就到了呂家的每拉。 6 百夫長在那裡找到一艘亞歷山太來的船,要開往意大利去,就叫我們上了那船。 7 一連幾天,船都走得很慢,好不容易才到了革尼土的對面。因為有風阻擋著我們,就沿著克里特背風而行,從撒摩尼對面經過, 8 沿著海岸行駛,航程很艱難,後來才到了靠近拉西亞城一個名叫美港的地方。
9 過了相當的時候,連禁食節也過去了,所以航行很危險,保羅就勸告他們, 10 說:“各位,我看這次航行,不單貨物和船隻要遭到損失,大受破壞,連我們的性命也難保。” 11 但百夫長寧願相信船長和船主的話,卻不相信保羅所說的。 12 而且這港口不適宜過冬,所以大多數人主張離開那裡,也許可以到非尼基去過冬。非尼基是克里特的一個港口,一面向西南,一面向西北。
船在海上遇暴風
13 這時南風徐徐地吹來,他們以為風勢有利,就起錨沿著克里特航行。 14 可是過了不久,有一股名叫“友拉革羅”(“友拉革羅”意即“東北風”)的颶風,向島上吹襲。 15 船給風困住了,不能迎風前行,只好隨著風向飄流。 16 有一個小島名叫高達,我們就在這島的背風岸急航,好不容易才把救生艇拉住。 17 水手把艇拉上來,用纜索繞過船身捆好。他們怕船在賽耳底擱淺,就收下船帆,任船飄流。 18 風浪把我們顛簸得很厲害,第二天他們就把貨物拋在海裡, 19 第三天又親手把船上的用具扔掉。 20 好幾天,都看不見星星和太陽,狂風大浪催逼著我們,這樣看來,我們連生還的希望都沒有了。
21 大家很久沒有吃飯了,保羅就站在他們中間,說:“各位,你們本來應該聽我的話不離開克里特,就不會遭受這場損失和破壞了。 22 現在我勸你們放心。除了這艘船以外,你們沒有一個人會喪命的。 23 因為我所歸屬所事奉的 神,他的使者昨天夜裡站在我的旁邊,說: 24 ‘保羅,不要怕。你必定可以站在凱撒面前; 神已經把那些和你同船的人賜給你了。’ 25 所以,各位請放心。我相信 神對我怎樣說,也必怎樣成就。 26 不過我們必會擱淺在一個海島上。”
27 到了第十四天的晚上,我們在亞得里亞海飄來飄去。約在半夜的時候,水手以為接近了陸地, 28 就探測一下,深三十六公尺;稍往前行,再探測一下,深二十七公尺。 29 他們怕我們會在亂石上擱淺,就從船尾拋下四個錨,期待著天亮。 30 水手們想要離船逃走,就把救生艇放在海上,假裝要從船頭拋錨的樣子。 31 保羅對百夫長和士兵說:“這些人若不留在船上,你們就性命難保!” 32 於是士兵砍斷救生艇的繩子,任它掉下去。
33 天快亮的時候,保羅勸大家吃飯,說:“你們一直不吃東西,挨餓苦候,到今天已經十四天了! 34 所以,我勸你們吃點飯,這可以維持你們的性命!因為你們沒有人會失掉一根頭髮。” 35 保羅說了這話,就拿起餅來,在眾人面前感謝 神,然後擘開來吃。 36 於是大家都安心吃飯了。 37 我們在船上的共有二百七十六人, 38 大家吃飽了,把麥子拋在海裡,好減輕船的負荷。
船隻擱淺、眾人脫險
39 天亮的時候,他們不認得那個地方,只看見一個可以登岸的海灣,就有意儘可能把船攏岸。 40 於是把錨砍掉,丟在海裡,同時又鬆開舵繩,拉起前帆,順風向岸駛去。 41 但在海水夾流的地方,船就擱了淺,船頭膠著不動,船尾被海浪沖擊,就損壞了。 42 士兵想把囚犯都殺掉,免得有人游泳逃脫。 43 但百夫長想要救保羅,就阻止他們這樣行。他吩咐會游泳的跳下水去,先到岸上, 44 其餘的人可以用木板,或船上的器具上岸。這樣,大家都安全地上岸了。

La Biblia de las Américas
Pablo sale para Roma
27 Cuando se decidió que deberíamos(A) embarcarnos para Italia(B), fueron entregados Pablo y algunos otros presos a un centurión de la compañía[a](C) Augusta, llamado Julio. 2 Y embarcándonos en una nave adramitena que estaba para zarpar hacia las regiones de la costa de Asia[b](D), nos hicimos a la mar acompañados por Aristarco, un macedonio(E) de Tesalónica(F). 3 Al día siguiente llegamos a Sidón(G). Julio trató a Pablo con benevolencia(H), permitiéndole ir a sus amigos y ser atendido por ellos(I). 4 De allí partimos y navegamos al abrigo de la isla de Chipre(J), porque los vientos eran contrarios(K). 5 Y después de navegar atravesando el mar frente a[c] las costas de Cilicia(L) y de Panfilia(M), llegamos a Mira de Licia. 6 Allí el centurión halló una nave alejandrina(N) que iba[d] para Italia(O), y nos embarcó en ella. 7 Y después de navegar lentamente por muchos días, y de llegar con dificultad frente a Gnido, pues el viento no nos permitió(P) avanzar más[e], navegamos al abrigo de Creta(Q), frente a Salmón; 8 y costeándola(R) con dificultad, llegamos a un lugar llamado Buenos Puertos, cerca del cual estaba la ciudad de Lasea.
La tempestad en el mar
9 Cuando ya había pasado mucho tiempo y la navegación se había vuelto peligrosa, pues hasta el Ayuno[f](S) había pasado ya, Pablo los amonestaba, 10 diciéndoles: Amigos[g], veo que de seguro este viaje va a ser con perjuicio y graves pérdidas(T), no solo del cargamento y de la nave, sino también de nuestras vidas. 11 Pero el centurión se persuadió más por lo dicho por el piloto(U) y el capitán[h] del barco, que por lo que Pablo decía. 12 Y como el puerto no era adecuado para invernar, la mayoría tomó la decisión de hacerse a la mar desde allí, por si les era posible arribar a Fenice, un puerto de Creta(V) que mira hacia el nordeste y el sudeste[i], y pasar el invierno allí. 13 Cuando comenzó a soplar un moderado[j] viento del sur, creyendo que habían logrado su propósito, levaron anclas y navegaban(W) costeando a Creta(X). 14 Pero no mucho después, desde tierra[k] comenzó a soplar[l] un viento huracanado(Y) que se llama Euroclidón[m], 15 y siendo azotada[n] la nave, y no pudiendo hacer frente al viento nos abandonamos a él y nos dejamos llevar a la deriva. 16 Navegando[o] al abrigo de una pequeña isla llamada Clauda[p], con mucha dificultad pudimos sujetar el esquife. 17 Después que lo alzaron, usaron amarras[q] para ceñir la nave; y temiendo encallar(Z) en los bancos de Sirte, echaron el ancla flotante[r] y[s] se abandonaron a la deriva. 18 Al día siguiente, mientras éramos sacudidos furiosamente por la tormenta, comenzaron a arrojar la carga[t](AA); 19 y al tercer día, con sus propias manos arrojaron al mar los aparejos de la nave. 20 Como ni el sol ni las estrellas aparecieron por muchos días, y una tempestad no pequeña se abatía sobre nosotros, desde entonces fuimos abandonando toda esperanza de salvarnos. 21 Cuando habían pasado muchos días sin comer[u], Pablo se puso en pie en medio de ellos y dijo: Amigos[v], debierais haberme hecho caso[w] y no haber zarpado de Creta(AB), evitando[x] así este perjuicio y pérdida(AC). 22 Pero ahora os exhorto a tener buen ánimo(AD), porque no habrá pérdida de vida entre vosotros, sino solo del barco. 23 Porque esta noche estuvo en mi presencia(AE) un ángel del Dios(AF) de quien soy y a quien sirvo(AG), 24 diciendo: «No temas, Pablo; has de comparecer ante el César(AH); y he aquí, Dios te ha concedido todos los que navegan contigo(AI)». 25 Por tanto, tened buen ánimo(AJ) amigos[y], porque yo confío en Dios, que acontecerá[z] exactamente como se me dijo. 26 Pero tenemos que encallar(AK) en cierta isla(AL).
27 Y llegada la decimocuarta noche, mientras éramos llevados a la deriva en el mar Adriático, a eso de la medianoche los marineros presentían que se estaban acercando a tierra[aa]. 28 Echaron la sonda y hallaron que había veinte brazas; pasando un poco más adelante volvieron a echar la sonda y hallaron quince brazas de profundidad. 29 Y temiendo que en algún lugar fuéramos a dar contra los escollos[ab](AM), echaron cuatro anclas por la popa y ansiaban que amaneciera[ac]. 30 Como los marineros trataban de escapar de la nave y habían bajado el esquife(AN) al mar, bajo pretexto de que se proponían echar las anclas desde la proa, 31 Pablo dijo al centurión y a los soldados: Si estos no permanecen en la nave, vosotros no podréis salvaros. 32 Entonces los soldados cortaron las amarras(AO) del esquife y dejaron que se perdiera. 33 Y hasta que estaba a punto de amanecer, Pablo exhortaba a todos a que tomaran alimento, diciendo: Hace ya catorce días[ad] que, velando continuamente, estáis en ayunas, sin tomar ningún alimento. 34 Por eso os aconsejo que toméis alimento, porque esto es necesario para vuestra supervivencia; pues ni un solo cabello de la cabeza de ninguno de vosotros perecerá(AP). 35 Habiendo dicho esto, tomó pan y dio gracias a Dios en presencia de todos; y partiéndolo(AQ), comenzó a comer. 36 Entonces todos, teniendo ya buen ánimo(AR), tomaron también alimento. 37 En total éramos en la nave doscientas setenta y seis personas[ae](AS). 38 Una vez saciados, aligeraron la nave arrojando el trigo al mar(AT). 39 Cuando se hizo de día, no reconocían la tierra(AU), pero podían distinguir una bahía que tenía playa, y decidieron[af] lanzar la nave hacia ella[ag], si les era posible. 40 Y cortando las anclas(AV), las dejaron[ah] en el mar, aflojando al mismo tiempo las amarras de los timones; e izando la vela de proa al viento, se dirigieron hacia la playa. 41 Pero chocando contra un escollo[ai] donde se encuentran dos corrientes[aj], encallaron la nave; la proa se clavó y quedó inmóvil, pero la popa se rompía por la fuerza de las olas. 42 Y el plan de los soldados era matar a los presos, para que ninguno de ellos escapara(AW) a nado; 43 pero el centurión, queriendo salvar a Pablo(AX), impidió su propósito, y ordenó que los que pudieran nadar se arrojaran primero por la borda y llegaran a tierra, 44 y que los demás siguieran, algunos en tablones, y otros en diferentes objetos de la nave. Y así sucedió que todos llegaron salvos a tierra(AY).

Contemporary English Version
Paul Is Taken to Rome
27 When it was time for us to sail to Rome, Captain Julius from the Emperor's special troops was put in charge of Paul and the other prisoners. 2 We went aboard a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to some ports along the coast of Asia. Aristarchus from Thessalonica in Macedonia sailed on the ship with us.
3 The next day we came to shore at Sidon. Captain Julius was very kind to Paul. He even let him visit his friends, so they could give him whatever he needed. 4 When we left Sidon, the winds were blowing against us, and we sailed close to the island of Cyprus to be safe from the wind. 5 Then we sailed south of Cilicia and Pamphylia until we came to the port of Myra in Lycia. 6 There the army captain found a ship from Alexandria that was going to Italy. So he ordered us to board that ship.
7 We sailed along slowly for several days and had a hard time reaching Cnidus. The wind would not let us go any farther in that direction, so we sailed past Cape Salmone, where the island of Crete would protect us from the wind. 8 We went slowly along the coast and finally reached a place called Fair Havens, not far from the town of Lasea.
9 By now we had already lost a lot of time, and sailing was no longer safe. In fact, even the Great Day of Forgiveness[a] was past. 10 Then Paul spoke to the crew of the ship, “Men, listen to me! If we sail now, our ship and its cargo will be badly damaged, and many lives will be lost.” 11 But Julius listened to the captain of the ship and its owner, rather than to Paul.
12 The harbor at Fair Havens wasn't a good place to spend the winter. Because of this, almost everyone agreed that we should at least try to sail along the coast of Crete as far as Phoenix. It had a harbor that opened toward the southwest and northwest,[b] and we could spend the winter there.
The Storm at Sea
13 When a gentle wind from the south started blowing, the men thought it was a good time to do what they had planned. So they pulled up the anchor, and we sailed along the coast of Crete. 14 But soon a strong wind called “The Northeaster” blew against us from the island. 15 The wind struck the ship, and we could not sail against it. So we let the wind carry the ship.
16 We went along the island of Cauda on the side that was protected from the wind. We had a hard time holding the lifeboat in place, 17 but finally we got it where it belonged. Then the sailors wrapped ropes around the ship to hold it together. They lowered the sail and let the ship drift along, because they were afraid it might hit the sandbanks in the gulf of Syrtis.
18 The storm was so fierce that the next day they threw some of the ship's cargo overboard. 19 Then on the third day, with their bare hands they threw overboard some of the ship's gear. 20 For several days we could not see either the sun or the stars. A strong wind kept blowing, and we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
21 Since none of us had eaten anything for a long time, Paul stood up and told the men:
You should have listened to me! If you had stayed on in Crete, you would not have had this damage and loss. 22 But now I beg you to cheer up, because you will be safe. Only the ship will be lost.
23 I belong to God, and I worship him. Last night he sent an angel 24 to tell me, “Paul, don't be afraid! You will stand trial before the Emperor. And because of you, God will save the lives of everyone on the ship.” 25 Cheer up! I am sure that God will do exactly what he promised. 26 But we will first be shipwrecked on some island.
27 For 14 days and nights we had been blown around over the Mediterranean Sea. But about midnight the sailors realized we were getting near land. 28 They measured and found that the water was about 40 meters deep. A little later they measured again and found it was only about 30 meters. 29 The sailors were afraid that we might hit some rocks, and they let down four anchors from the back of the ship. Then they prayed for daylight.
30 The sailors wanted to escape from the ship. So they lowered the lifeboat into the water, pretending that they were letting down some anchors from the front of the ship. 31 But Paul said to Captain Julius and the soldiers, “If the sailors don't stay on the ship, you won't have any chance to save your lives.” 32 The soldiers then cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it fall into the sea.
33 Just before daylight Paul begged the people to eat something. He told them, “For 14 days you have been so worried that you haven't eaten a thing. 34 I beg you to eat something. Your lives depend on it. Do this and not one of you will be hurt.”
35 After Paul had said this, he took a piece of bread and gave thanks to God. Then in front of everyone, he broke the bread and ate some. 36 They all felt encouraged, and each of them ate something. 37 There were 276 people on the ship, 38 and after everyone had eaten, they threw the cargo of wheat into the sea to make the ship lighter.
The Shipwreck
39 Morning came, and the ship's crew saw a coast they did not recognize. But they did see a cove with a beach. So they decided to try to run the ship aground on the beach. 40 They cut the anchors loose and let them sink into the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes that were holding the rudders. Next, they raised the sail at the front of the ship and let the wind carry the ship toward the beach. 41 But it ran aground on a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck firmly in the sand, and the rear was being smashed by the force of the waves.
42 The soldiers decided to kill the prisoners to keep them from swimming away and escaping. 43 But Captain Julius wanted to save Paul's life, and he did not let the soldiers do what they had planned. Instead, he ordered everyone who could swim to jump into the water and head for shore. 44 Then he told the others to hold on to planks of wood or parts of the ship. At last, everyone safely reached shore.

New International Version
Paul Sails for Rome
27 When it was decided that we(A) would sail for Italy,(B) Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.(C) 2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia,(D) and we put out to sea. Aristarchus,(E) a Macedonian(F) from Thessalonica,(G) was with us.
3 The next day we landed at Sidon;(H) and Julius, in kindness to Paul,(I) allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.(J) 4 From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.(K) 5 When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia(L) and Pamphylia,(M) we landed at Myra in Lycia. 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship(N) sailing for Italy(O) and put us on board. 7 We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course,(P) we sailed to the lee of Crete,(Q) opposite Salmone. 8 We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9 Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement.[a](R) So Paul warned them, 10 “Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”(S) 11 But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship. 12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete,(T) facing both southwest and northwest.
The Storm
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14 Before very long, a wind of hurricane force,(U) called the Northeaster, swept down from the island. 15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat(V) secure, 17 so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground(W) on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor[b] and let the ship be driven along. 18 We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.(X) 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice(Y) not to sail from Crete;(Z) then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage,(AA) because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 23 Last night an angel(AB) of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve(AC) stood beside me(AD) 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar;(AE) and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’(AF) 25 So keep up your courage,(AG) men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.(AH) 26 Nevertheless, we must run aground(AI) on some island.”(AJ)
The Shipwreck
27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic[c] Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land. 28 They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet[d] deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet[e] deep. 29 Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight. 30 In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat(AK) down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow. 31 Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”(AL) 32 So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.
33 Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. “For the last fourteen days,” he said, “you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven’t eaten anything. 34 Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”(AM) 35 After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it(AN) and began to eat. 36 They were all encouraged(AO) and ate some food themselves. 37 Altogether there were 276 of us on board. 38 When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.(AP)
39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach,(AQ) where they decided to run the ship aground if they could. 40 Cutting loose the anchors,(AR) they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach. 41 But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.(AS)
42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping. 43 But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life(AT) and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land. 44 The rest were to get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.(AU)
