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。
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
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
27 Now when it was determined that we [including Luke] should sail for Italy, they turned Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion of the imperial regiment named Julius.
2 And going aboard a ship from Adramyttium which was about to sail for the ports along the coast of [the province of] Asia, we put out to sea; and Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, accompanied us.
3 The following day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul in a loving way, with much consideration (kindness and care), permitting him to go to his friends [there] and be refreshed and be cared for.
4 After putting to sea from there we passed to the leeward (south side) of Cyprus [for protection], for the winds were contrary to us.
5 And when we had sailed over [the whole length] of sea which lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and he transferred us to it.
7 For a number of days we made slow progress and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus; then, as the wind did not permit us to proceed, we went under the lee (shelter) of Crete off Salmone,
8 And coasting along it with difficulty, we arrived at a place called Fair Havens, near which is located the town of Lasea.
9 But as [the season was well advanced, for] much time had been lost and navigation was already dangerous, for the time for the Fast [the Day of Atonement, about the beginning of October] had already gone by, Paul warned and advised them,
10 Saying, Sirs, I perceive [after careful observation] that this voyage will be attended with disaster and much heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but of our lives also.
11 However, the centurion paid greater attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
12 And as the harbor was not well situated and so unsuitable to winter in, the majority favored the plan of putting to sea again from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenice, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and winter there.
13 So when the south wind blew softly, supposing they were gaining their object, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, hugging the coast.
14 But soon afterward a violent wind [of the character of a typhoon], called a northeaster, came bursting down from the island.
15 And when the ship was caught and was unable to head against the wind, we gave up and, letting her drift, were borne along.
16 We ran under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, where we managed with [much] difficulty to draw the [ship’s small] boat on deck and secure it.
17 After hoisting it on board, they used supports with ropes to undergird and brace the ship; then afraid that they would be driven into the Syrtis [quicksands off the north coast of Africa], they lowered the gear (sails and ropes) and so were driven along.
18 As we were being dangerously tossed about by the violence of the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;
19 And the third day they threw out with their own hands the ship’s equipment (the tackle and the furniture).
20 And when neither sun nor stars were visible for many days and no small tempest kept raging about us, all hope of our being saved was finally abandoned.
21 Then as they had eaten nothing for a long time, Paul came forward into their midst and said, Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have put to sea from Crete and brought on this disaster and harm and misery and loss.
22 But [even] now I beg you to be in good spirits and take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you but only of the ship.
23 For this [very] night there stood by my side an angel of the God to Whom I belong and Whom I serve and worship,
24 And he said, Do not be frightened, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has given you all those who are sailing with you.
25 So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith (complete confidence) in God that it will be exactly as it was told me;
26 But we shall have to be stranded on some island.
27 The fourteenth night had come and we were drifting and being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near to some land.
28 So they took soundings and found twenty fathoms, and a little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing that we might fall off [our course] onto rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and kept wishing for daybreak to come.
30 And as the sailors were trying to escape [secretly] from the ship and were lowering the small boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, you cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes that held the small boat, and let it fall and drift away.
33 While they waited until it should become day, Paul entreated them all to take some food, saying, This is the fourteenth day that you have been continually in suspense and on the alert without food, having eaten nothing.
34 So I urge (warn, exhort, encourage, advise) you to take some food [for your safety]—it will give you strength; for not a hair is to perish from the head of any one of you.
35 Having said these words, he took bread and, giving thanks to God before them all, he broke it and began to eat.
36 Then they all became more cheerful and were encouraged and took food themselves.
37 All told there were 276 souls of us in the ship.
38 And after they had eaten sufficiently, [they proceeded] to lighten the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Now when it was day [and they saw the land], they did not recognize it, but they noticed a bay with a beach on which they [taking counsel] purposed to run the ship ashore if they possibly could.
40 So they cut the cables and severed the anchors and left them in the sea; at the same time unlashing the ropes that held the rudders and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they headed for the beach.
41 But striking a crosscurrent (a place open to two seas) they ran the ship aground. The prow stuck fast and remained immovable, and the stern began to break up under the violent force of the waves.
42 It was the counsel of the soldiers to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim to land and escape;
43 But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, prevented their carrying out their purpose. He commanded those who could swim to throw themselves overboard first and make for the shore,
44 And the rest on heavy boards or pieces of the vessel. And so it was that all escaped safely to land.
