使徒行传 27
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
保罗坐船往意大利去
27 非斯都既然定规了叫我们坐船往意大利去，便将保罗和别的囚犯交给御营里的一个百夫长，名叫犹流。 2 有一只亚大米田的船要沿着亚细亚一带地方的海边走，我们就上了那船开行，有马其顿的帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和我们同去。 3 第二天，到了西顿，犹流宽待保罗，准他往朋友那里去，受他们的照应。 4 从那里又开船，因为风不顺，就贴着塞浦路斯背风岸行去。 5 过了基利家、旁非利亚前面的海，就到了吕家的每拉。 6 在那里，百夫长遇见一只亚历山大的船要往意大利去，便叫我们上了那船。 7 一连多日，船行得慢，仅仅来到革尼土的对面。因为被风拦阻，就贴着克里特背风岸，从撒摩尼对面行过。 8 我们沿岸行走，仅仅来到一个地方，名叫佳澳，离那里不远有拉西亚城。
保罗劝众
9 走的日子多了，已经过了禁食的节期，行船又危险，保罗就劝众人说： 10 “众位，我看这次行船，不但货物和船要受伤损，大遭破坏，连我们的性命也难保。” 11 但百夫长信从掌船的和船主，不信从保罗所说的。 12 且因在这海口过冬不便，船上的人就多半说，不如开船离开这地方，或者能到非尼基过冬。非尼基是克里特的一个海口，一面朝东北，一面朝东南。 13 这时微微起了南风，他们以为得意，就起了锚，贴近克里特行去。
水路的危险
14 不多几时，狂风从岛上扑下来，那风名叫友拉革罗。 15 船被风抓住，敌不住风，我们就任风刮去。 16 贴着一个小岛的背风岸奔行，那岛名叫高大，在那里仅仅收住了小船。 17 既然把小船拉上来，就用缆索捆绑船底，又恐怕在赛耳底沙滩上搁了浅，就落下篷来，任船飘去。 18 我们被风浪逼得甚急，第二天众人就把货物抛在海里。 19 到第三天，他们又亲手把船上的器具抛弃了。 20 太阳和星辰多日不显露，又有狂风大浪催逼，我们得救的指望就都绝了。
安慰众人
21 众人多日没有吃什么，保罗就出来站在他们中间，说：“众位，你们本该听我的话不离开克里特，免得遭这样的伤损破坏。 22 现在我还劝你们放心，你们的性命一个也不失丧，唯独失丧这船。 23 因我所属、所侍奉的神，他的使者昨夜站在我旁边说： 24 ‘保罗，不要害怕！你必定站在恺撒面前；并且与你同船的人，神都赐给你了。’ 25 所以众位可以放心，我信神他怎样对我说，事情也要怎样成就。 26 只是我们必要撞在一个岛上。”
水手想逃
27 到了第十四天夜间，船在亚得里亚海飘来飘去，约到半夜，水手以为渐近旱地， 28 就探深浅，探得有十二丈；稍往前行，又探深浅，探得有九丈。 29 恐怕撞在石头上，就从船尾抛下四个锚，盼望天亮。 30 水手想要逃出船去，把小船放在海里，假作要从船头抛锚的样子。 31 保罗对百夫长和兵丁说：“这些人若不等在船上，你们必不能得救。” 32 于是兵丁砍断小船的绳子，由它飘去。 33 天渐亮的时候，保罗劝众人都吃饭，说：“你们悬望忍饿不吃什么，已经十四天了。 34 所以我劝你们吃饭，这是关乎你们救命的事，因为你们各人连一根头发也不至于损坏。” 35 保罗说了这话，就拿着饼，在众人面前祝谢了神，掰开吃。 36 于是他们都放下心，也就吃了。
船被大浪损坏
37 我们在船上的共有二百七十六个人。 38 他们吃饱了，就把船上的麦子抛在海里，为要叫船轻一点。 39 到了天亮，他们不认识那地方，但见一个海湾有岸可登，就商议能把船拢进去不能。 40 于是砍断缆索，弃锚在海里，同时也松开舵绳，拉起头篷，顺着风向岸行去。 41 但遇着两水夹流的地方，就把船搁了浅，船头胶住不动，船尾被浪的猛力冲坏。
众人得救
42 兵丁的意思要把囚犯杀了，恐怕有洑水脱逃的。 43 但百夫长要救保罗，不准他们任意而行，就吩咐会洑水的跳下水去先上岸， 44 其余的人可以用板子或船上的零碎东西上岸。这样，众人都得了救，上了岸。

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。
Acts 27
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.
Acts 27
New King James Version
The Voyage to Rome Begins
27 And when (A)it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment. 2 So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. (B)Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us. 3 And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius (C)treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care. 4 When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 There the centurion found (D)an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of (E)Crete off Salmone. 8 Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Paul’s Warning Ignored
9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous (F)because [a]the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” 11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. 12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
In the Tempest
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete. 14 But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called [b]Euroclydon. 15 So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her [c]drive. 16 And running under the shelter of an island called [d]Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty. 17 When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the [e]Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven. 18 And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship. 19 On the third day (G)we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands. 20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.
21 But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. 22 And now I urge you to take [f]heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 (H)For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and (I)whom I serve, 24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 Therefore take heart, men, (J)for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. 26 However, (K)we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land. 28 And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms. 29 Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and [g]prayed for day to come. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, 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 away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.
33 And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, (L)since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread and (M)gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat. 36 Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves. 37 And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six (N)persons on the ship. 38 So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.
Shipwrecked on Malta
39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible. 40 And they [h]let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore. 41 But striking [i]a place where two seas met, (O)they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was (P)that they all escaped safely to land.
