使徒行传 27
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)

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。

Chapter 27

Departure for Rome. 1 [a]When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they handed Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion named Julius of the Cohort Augusta.[b] 2 We went on board a ship from Adramyttium bound for ports in the province of Asia and set sail. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.(A) 3 On the following day we put in at Sidon where Julius was kind enough to allow Paul to visit his friends who took care of him. 4 From there we put out to sea and sailed around the sheltered side of Cyprus because of the headwinds, 5 and crossing the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia.

Storm and Shipwreck. 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship that was sailing to Italy and put us on board. 7 For many days we made little headway, arriving at Cnidus only with difficulty, and because the wind would not permit us to continue our course we sailed for the sheltered side of Crete off Salmone. 8 We sailed past it with difficulty and reached a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

9 Much time had now passed and sailing had become hazardous because the time of the fast[c] had already gone by, so Paul warned them,(B) 10 “Men, I can see that this voyage will result in severe damage and heavy loss not only to the cargo and the ship, but also to our lives.” 11 The centurion, however, paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said. 12 Since the harbor was unfavorably situated for spending the winter, the majority planned to put out to sea from there in the hope of reaching Phoenix, a port in Crete facing west-northwest, there to spend the winter.

13 A south wind blew gently, and thinking they had attained their objective, they weighed anchor and sailed along close to the coast of Crete. 14 Before long an offshore wind of hurricane force called a “Northeaster” struck. 15 Since the ship was caught up in it and could not head into the wind we gave way and let ourselves be driven. 16 We passed along the sheltered side of an island named Cauda and managed only with difficulty to get the dinghy under control. 17 They hoisted it aboard, then used cables to undergird the ship. Because of their fear that they would run aground on the shoal of Syrtis, they lowered the drift anchor and were carried along in this way. 18 We were being pounded by the storm so violently that the next day they jettisoned some cargo, 19 and on the third day with their own hands they threw even the ship’s tackle overboard. 20 Neither the sun nor the stars were visible for many days, and no small storm raged. Finally, all hope of our surviving was taken away.

21 When many would no longer eat, Paul stood among them and said, “Men, you should have taken my advice and not have set sail from Crete and you would have avoided this disastrous loss. 22 I urge you now to keep up your courage; not one of you will be lost, only the ship. 23 For last night an angel of the God to whom [I] belong and whom I serve stood by me 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You are destined to stand before Caesar; and behold, for your sake, God has granted safety to all who are sailing with you.’(C) 25 Therefore, keep up your courage, men; I trust in God that it will turn out as I have been told. 26 We are destined to run aground on some island.”

27 On the fourteenth night, as we were still being driven about on the Adriatic Sea, toward midnight the sailors began to suspect that they were nearing land. 28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on, they again took soundings and found fifteen fathoms. 29 Fearing that we would run aground on a rocky coast, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come. 30 The sailors then tried to abandon ship; they lowered the dinghy to the sea on the pretext of going to lay out anchors from the bow. 31 But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 So the soldiers cut the ropes of the dinghy and set it adrift.

33 Until the day began to dawn, Paul kept urging all to take some food. He said, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting, going hungry and eating nothing. 34 I urge you, therefore, to take some food; it will help you survive. Not a hair of the head of anyone of you will be lost.” 35 When he said this, he took bread,[d] gave thanks to God in front of them all, broke it, and began to eat.(D) 36 They were all encouraged, and took some food themselves. 37 In all, there were two hundred seventy-six of us on the ship. 38 After they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat into the sea.

39 When day came they did not recognize the land, but made out a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore on it, if they could. 40 So they cast off the anchors and abandoned them to the sea, and at the same time they unfastened the lines of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail into the wind, they made for the beach. 41 But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow was wedged in and could not be moved, but the stern began to break up under the pounding [of the waves]. 42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so that none might swim away and escape, 43 but the centurion wanted to save Paul and so kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to the shore, 44 and then the rest, some on planks, others on debris from the ship. In this way, all reached shore safely.

Footnotes

  1. 27:1–28:16 Here Luke has written a stirring account of adventure on the high seas, incidental to his main purpose of showing how well Paul got along with his captors and how his prophetic influence saved the lives of all on board. The recital also establishes the existence of Christian communities in Puteoli and Rome. This account of the voyage and shipwreck also constitutes the final “we-section” in Acts (see note on Acts 16:10–17).
  2. 27:1 Cohort Augusta: the presence of a Cohort Augusta in Syria during the first century A.D. is attested in inscriptions. Whatever the historical background to this information given by Luke may be, the name Augusta serves to increase the prominence and prestige of the prisoner Paul whose custodians bear so important a Roman name.
  3. 27:9 The time of the fast: the fast kept on the occasion of the Day of Atonement (Lv 16:29–31), which occurred in late September or early October.
  4. 27:35 He took bread…: the words recall the traditional language of the celebration of the Eucharist (see Lk 22:19).

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)
