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。

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](A) 2 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[b] 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 aboard. 7 Sailing slowly for many days, we arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Since the wind did not allow us to approach it, we sailed along the south side of Crete off Salmone. 8 With still 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 Day of Atonement[c](E) was already over, Paul gave his advice 10 and told them, ‘Men, I can see that this voyage is headed towards disaster 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 harbour was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to set sail from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenix, a harbour on Crete(G) facing 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 before long, a fierce wind called the ‘northeaster’ rushed down from the island. 15 Since the ship was caught and 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,[d] we were barely able to get control of the skiff. 17 After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea-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 tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope was fading that we would be saved.
21 Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul then 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 last night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by me(I) 24 and said, “Don’t be afraid, Paul. It is necessary for you to appear before Caesar. And indeed, God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.” 25 So take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me.(J) 26 But we have to run aground on some island.’(K)
27 When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea, and about midnight the sailors thought they were approaching land. 28 They took soundings and found it to be forty metres[e] deep; when they had sailed a little further and sounded again, they found it to be thirty metres[f] deep. 29 Then, fearing we might run aground on the rocks, 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 So I urge you to take some food. For this is for 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 after he broke it, he began to eat.(M) 36 They all were 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 recognise the land but sighted a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore if they could.(O) 40 After cutting loose 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, and 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)
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.
