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。

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
保罗乘船去罗马
27 当决定让我们坐船去意大利后，他们就把保罗和其他的犯人交给了一个名叫犹流的队长。他是帝国军团的军官。 2 我们上了一条从亚大米田开来的船，它正要启航到亚西亚沿岸的港口去。然后我们扬帆启航了。有一个从帖撒罗尼迦来的马其顿人，名叫亚里达古，和我们同行。 3 第二天，我们在西顿登陆了。犹流对保罗十分友善，允许他去见朋友，从他们那里得到关照。 4 后来，我们从那儿出发。我们沿着塞浦路斯背风的一面行驶，因为当时是逆风。 5 我们渡过基利家和旁非利亚附近的海面，来到了吕家的每拉。 6 犹流在那儿找到了一艘从亚历山太来的船，它要开往意大利，于是，他便把我们安置在那条船上了。
7 我们的船缓缓地行驶了很多天，好不容易才驶到了革尼土对岸的港口。因为风的阻止，使船无法继续沿着原来的方向航行，所以，我们便在撒摩尼附近，克里特的背风处行驶。 8 我们艰难地沿着克里特海岸行驶，然后到达了拉西亚城附近的一个地方，名叫安全港。
9 失去了很多时间，禁食日 [a]此时已经过去了，航行已变得很危险。因此，保罗警告他们说： 10 “先生们，我看这次旅行将会有损害并遭巨大的损失，不但船和货物，而且，我们的性命也会如此。” 11 可是队长却听信船长和船主的话，不肯听保罗的话。 12 因为那个港不适宜过冬，所以，大多数人便决定开船离开那里，争取到非尼基过冬。非尼基港位于克里特，面朝西南和西北。
风暴
13 当温和的南风开始吹过时，他们都觉得如愿以偿了。于是，他们便起了锚，沿着克里特海岸航行。 14 可是，过了不久，岛上刮来了一股飓风，人称“东北风”。 15 船遇上了风暴，不能逆风行驶，于是，大家便让步了，任凭风暴刮着船走， 16 船靠着一个叫高大的小岛的背风处行驶，我们费了很大力气才把那条救生船拖了进来。 17 水手们把它拖上来后，他们用缆绳把船身绑结实了。他们又怕船会在赛耳底沙州上搁浅，于是降了风帆，任凭船在海上漂。 18 风暴猛烈地拍打着船，第二天，他们便开始把货物往船外扔。 19 第三天，连船上的设备也被扔掉了。 20 一连很多天太阳和星星都没有出现，风暴猛烈地吹打着我们，我们终于失去了获救的希望。
21 很长的一段时间里，船上的人没吃过任何东西。保罗站了出来对众人说∶“各位，假如你们听取了我的建议，不从克里特开船出来，那么，就会避免这次损失了。 22 但是，现在我要你们鼓起勇气，因为你们谁都不会死，只不过是要失去这条船而已。 23 昨天夜里，我所属于和侍奉的上帝，派遣一个天使站到了我的身旁。 24 天使对我说∶‘保罗，别害怕。你必定会站在凯撒的面前。上帝把所有和你一同航行的人的生命都恩赐给你了。’ 25 所以，大家不要丧失勇气，因为我信赖上帝，一切都会向告诉我的那样发生。 26 但是，我们必须在某一个岛上搁浅。”
27 到了第十四天夜里，我们依旧在亚得里亚海上漂来漂去。大约到了午夜，水手们感觉到在接近陆地。 28 他们放下测绳，发现水深大约有一百尺左右。不久后，他们再一测，发现只有八十尺左右了。 29 他们害怕我们的船会在岩石岸上搁浅，便从船尾处抛下四个锚，然后便祈祷着天快些亮。 30 水手们想从船上逃走，便把救生船放到海里，装作只是从船头放下去一些锚的样子。 31 而保罗对队长和士兵们说∶“如果这些人不呆在大船上，你们就不能得救。” 32 于是，士兵们就把救生船的绳索砍断，让那条小船沉了下去。
33 天马上要亮了，保罗督促每个人都吃一点东西，说∶“你们焦急地等了十四天了，一直没吃东西。 34 现在，我恳求你们吃上点东西，因为你们为了生存需要吃东西。你们任何人连一根头发，都不会从头上失去的。” 35 说完，便拿起面包，当着众人的面，感谢上帝，并把它掰开，开始吃了起来。 36 这些人受到鼓舞，也都吃了起来。 37 船上一共二百七十六个人， 38 大家吃饱后，为了减轻船的重量，又把船上的谷物都扔到了海里。
船被毁
39 天亮了，他们辨认不出那个陆地来，但却发现了一个有沙滩的海湾。于是他们尽量让船在那里搁浅。 40 因此，他们砍断了锚，把它们沉到海里，同时又解开了栓舵的绳索，然后升起船头的帆，朝岸边开过去。 41 但是他们触到了一块沙州，并搁浅。船头被卡住，动弹不得。船尾经不住海浪的冲击而破碎。
42 士兵们要把囚犯杀掉，以防他们游水逃跑。 43 可是，队长要救保罗，所以他阻止了他们的计划。他下令让会游泳的人先跳下船，游到岸上去。 44 其他人则抱住木板或船上的碎木上岸。这样，所有的人都安全地登了陆。

Gevurot 27
Orthodox Jewish Bible
27 And when it was decided that we set sail to Italy, they were handing over both Rav Sha’ul and some other prisoners to a centurion, Julius by name, of the Imperial Cohort.
2 And having embarked in an oniyah of Adramyttium about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
3 The next day, we put in at a harbor in Tzidon; and Julius treated Rav Sha’ul with kindness, permitting him to be cared for by his chaverim.
4 And from there, having put out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5 Then having sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found an Alexandrian oniyah sailing to Italy and put us on board.
7 But for many yamim we sailed slowly and with difficulty along the coast of Cnidus, and as the wind was not permitting us to go vaiter (farther), we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
8 And with difficulty sailing past it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 And since considerable time had been lost and it was already unsafe for a voyage, because Yom Kippur had already come and gone; therefore, Rav Sha’ul gave them this eitza (suggestion),
10 Saying to them, "Anashim, I see that the voyage will be hardship and much peril, not only of the cargo and the oniyah, but also of our lives."
11 But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and the owner rather than by the dvarim of Rav Sha’ul.
12 But the port being unfavorably situated for spending the winter, the majority decided to set sail from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to spend the winter. It was a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest.
13 And a gentle south wind began to blow, and they thought they could attain their matarah (objective), so they weighed anchor and they were sailing past Crete, close by the shore.
14 After not much time a violent, typhoon force wind rushed down from Crete, the so called Euraquilo, the Northeaster.
15 And the oniyah, having been caught in it, and not being able to directly face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven.
16 By running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able only with difficulty to get the lifeboat secured.
17 After hoisting it up, they were using frapping cables, passing them underneath the oniyah; then, fearing lest on the shallows of Syrtis they might run aground, they lowered the sea anchor, and so they were being driven along.
18 And we were being violently tossed by the storm, so much so that the next day they were throwing the cargo overboard.
19 And on the Yom Shlishi, with their own hands, they threw out the tackle of the oniyah.
20 And neither shemesh (sun) nor kochavim appeared for many yamim and no small tempest assailed us. Lemaskana (finally) all tikvateinu for yeshu’ah was being abandoned.
21 And after having much loss of appetite, then Rav Sha’ul stood up in the midst of them, and said, "Anashim, you should have obeyed me and not put out to sea from Crete and thereby spared yourselves this hardship and this loss.
22 "And now I advise you to have ometz lev (courage), for there will be no loss of life among you, except the oniyah.
23 "For a malach Hashem stood by me during lailah hazeh, of the G-d whom I serve,
24 "Saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Sha’ul. It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and, hinei, Hashem has given to you all the ones sailing with you.'
25 "Therefore have lev same’ach, Anashim. For I have emunah in Hashem that it will be exactly as he has told me.
26 "But it is necessary for us to run aground on some island."
27 Now when the fourteenth night had come, while we being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, toward chatzot halailah (midnight), the sailors were suspecting that we were getting close to land.
28 And having taken soundings, they found twenty fathoms and, having sailed a little vaiter (farther), again they took soundings, and they found fifteen fathoms.
29 And fearing lest somehow against the rough places we might run aground, they threw four anchors off the stern, and they were praying for the dawn to break.
30 Now when the sailors sought to flee from the oniyah and to let down the lifeboat into the sea on the pretext of casting out anchors,
31 Rav Sha’ul said to the centurion and to the chaiyalim, "Unless these remain in the oniyah, you cannot be saved."
32 Then the chaiyalim cut away the ropes of the lifeboat, and let it fall away, setting it adrift.
33 Just before boker, Rav Sha’ul was urging everyone to take okhel (food), saying, "Today is the 14th day you have been held in suspense and are continuing without eating, having taken nothing.
34 "Therefore, I encourage you to take okhel, for it is for your deliverance, for none of you will lose a hair from your heads."
35 And having said these things, and having taken lechem, Rav Sha’ul said the HaMotzi before all, and, after the Betzi’at HaLechem, he began to eat.
36 And receiving ometz lev, they all took okhel.
37 Now there were in all two hundred and seventy-six nefashot in the oniyah.
38 And having eaten enough okhel (food), they were lightening the oniyah by throwing the wheat overboard into the sea.
39 And when it became day, they were not recognizing the land, but a certain bay they were noticing, having a shore onto which they were wanting, if possible, to run aground the oniyah.
40 And the anchors they cast off and they left them in the sea. At the same time they loosened the ropes of the rudders and raised the sail to the wind and were steering toward the shore.
41 But having fallen into a channel, a place between two seas, they ran the oniyah aground, and, while the bow had stuck and remained immovable, the stern was being destroyed by the force of the waves.
42 Now the kesher (plan, plot) of the chaiyalim was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone, having swum away, should escape.
43 But the centurion, desiring to save Rav Sha’ul, kept them from carrying out the kesher, and he ordered the ones able to swim to throw themselves overboard first and to make for the shore.
44 As for the rest, some were on planks, others on pieces from the oniyah. And so everyone was brought safely onto the land.
