使徒行传 27
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
保罗启程往罗马
27 他们决定要我们坐船往意大利去,就把保罗和别的囚犯,交给皇家军营里的一个百夫长,名叫犹流。 2 有一艘亚大米田来的船,要开往亚西亚沿岸一带的地方,我们上去,船就开了。跟我们在一起的,还有马其顿的帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古。 3 第二天到了西顿,犹流宽待保罗,准他去看看朋友,接受他们的招待。 4 我们又从那里开船,因为逆风,就沿着塞浦路斯背风而行。 5 渡过基利家和旁非利亚一带的海面,就到了吕家的每拉。 6 百夫长在那里找到一艘亚历山太来的船,要开往意大利去,就叫我们上了那船。 7 一连几天,船都走得很慢,好不容易才到了革尼土的对面。因为有风阻挡着我们,就沿着克里特背风而行,从撒摩尼对面经过, 8 沿着海岸行驶,航程很艰难,后来才到了靠近拉西亚城一个名叫美港的地方。
9 过了相当的时候,连禁食节也过去了,所以航行很危险,保罗就劝告他们, 10 说:“各位,我看这次航行,不单货物和船只要遭到损失,大受破坏,连我们的性命也难保。” 11 但百夫长宁愿相信船长和船主的话,却不相信保罗所说的。 12 而且这港口不适宜过冬,所以大多数人主张离开那里,也许可以到非尼基去过冬。非尼基是克里特的一个港口,一面向西南,一面向西北。
船在海上遇暴风
13 这时南风徐徐地吹来,他们以为风势有利,就起锚沿着克里特航行。 14 可是过了不久,有一股名叫“友拉革罗”(“友拉革罗”意即“东北风”)的飓风,向岛上吹袭。 15 船给风困住了,不能迎风前行,只好随着风向飘流。 16 有一个小岛名叫高达,我们就在这岛的背风岸急航,好不容易才把救生艇拉住。 17 水手把艇拉上来,用缆索绕过船身捆好。他们怕船在赛耳底搁浅,就收下船帆,任船飘流。 18 风浪把我们颠簸得很厉害,第二天他们就把货物拋在海里, 19 第三天又亲手把船上的用具扔掉。 20 好几天,都看不见星星和太阳,狂风大浪催逼着我们,这样看来,我们连生还的希望都没有了。
21 大家很久没有吃饭了,保罗就站在他们中间,说:“各位,你们本来应该听我的话不离开克里特,就不会遭受这场损失和破坏了。 22 现在我劝你们放心。除了这艘船以外,你们没有一个人会丧命的。 23 因为我所归属所事奉的 神,他的使者昨天夜里站在我的旁边,说: 24 ‘保罗,不要怕。你必定可以站在凯撒面前; 神已经把那些和你同船的人赐给你了。’ 25 所以,各位请放心。我相信 神对我怎样说,也必怎样成就。 26 不过我们必会搁浅在一个海岛上。”
27 到了第十四天的晚上,我们在亚得里亚海飘来飘去。约在半夜的时候,水手以为接近了陆地, 28 就探测一下,深三十六公尺;稍往前行,再探测一下,深二十七公尺。 29 他们怕我们会在乱石上搁浅,就从船尾拋下四个锚,期待着天亮。 30 水手们想要离船逃走,就把救生艇放在海上,假装要从船头拋锚的样子。 31 保罗对百夫长和士兵说:“这些人若不留在船上,你们就性命难保!” 32 于是士兵砍断救生艇的绳子,任它掉下去。
33 天快亮的时候,保罗劝大家吃饭,说:“你们一直不吃东西,挨饿苦候,到今天已经十四天了! 34 所以,我劝你们吃点饭,这可以维持你们的性命!因为你们没有人会失掉一根头发。” 35 保罗说了这话,就拿起饼来,在众人面前感谢 神,然后擘开来吃。 36 于是大家都安心吃饭了。 37 我们在船上的共有二百七十六人, 38 大家吃饱了,把麦子拋在海里,好减轻船的负荷。
船只搁浅、众人脱险
39 天亮的时候,他们不认得那个地方,只看见一个可以登岸的海湾,就有意尽可能把船拢岸。 40 于是把锚砍掉,丢在海里,同时又松开舵绳,拉起前帆,顺风向岸驶去。 41 但在海水夹流的地方,船就搁了浅,船头胶着不动,船尾被海浪冲击,就损坏了。 42 士兵想把囚犯都杀掉,免得有人游泳逃脱。 43 但百夫长想要救保罗,就阻止他们这样行。他吩咐会游泳的跳下水去,先到岸上, 44 其余的人可以用木板,或船上的器具上岸。这样,大家都安全地上岸了。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
保羅前往羅馬
27 他們決定讓我們坐船去義大利,於是將保羅和其他囚犯都交給一位皇家兵團的百夫長猶流看管。 2 有一艘亞大米田的船準備沿著亞細亞海岸航行。我們上船啟航,同船的還有帖撒羅尼迦的馬其頓人亞里達古。 3 第二天,船停泊在西頓港,猶流寬待保羅,准他探望當地的朋友,接受他們的照應。
4 我們從那裡啟航後,由於遇到逆風,便沿著塞浦路斯的背風岸前行, 5 經過基利迦和旁非利亞附近的海域,來到呂家的每拉。 6 百夫長在那裡找到一艘從亞歷山大駛往義大利的船,吩咐我們換搭那艘船。
7 一連多日船速十分緩慢,好不容易才駛近革尼土。因為強風船無法前行,只好沿著克里特背風岸航行,經過撒摩尼角。 8 船沿著海岸行進,幾經艱難才到達拉西亞城附近的佳澳。
9 我們耽誤了不少日子,禁食的節期[a]已過,航行很危險,保羅勸告眾人說: 10 「各位,照我看來,如果我們繼續航行,不只會損失貨物和船隻,甚至連我們的性命也難保。」 11 但那百夫長只相信船主和舵手的話,不接受保羅的勸告。 12 由於佳澳港不適宜過冬,大部分人贊成啟航,以為或許可以趕到菲尼基過冬。菲尼基是克里特的一個港口,一面向西南,一面向西北。
驚濤駭浪
13 那時,南風徐徐吹來,他們以為可以按計劃繼續航行,於是起錨沿著克里特行進。 14 可是出發不久,便遇到從島上颳來的猛烈的東北風[b], 15 船被颳得失去控制,我們只好任船隨風漂流。 16 船沿著一個叫高達的小島的背風面前進,大家好不容易才控制住救生船。 17 水手把救生船拉上甲板後,又用繩索加固船身。因為怕船會在賽耳底擱淺,於是收起船帆,任船漂流。 18 第二天,風浪依然猛烈,他們開始把貨物拋進海裡。 19 第三天,他們又親手把船上的用具也拋掉了。 20 一連好幾天都看不到太陽、星辰,風浪肆虐,我們完全放棄了得救的指望。
保羅安慰眾人
21 這時大家已經多日沒有進食,保羅站在他們當中說:「各位當初如果肯聽我勸,不離開克里特,就不會遭受這些損失了。 22 現在我勸大家放心,你們無人會喪命,只是這艘船保不住了。 23 因為昨天晚上,我所歸屬、所事奉的上帝差遣天使站在我身旁, 24 對我說,『保羅,不用怕,你一定會站在凱撒面前,上帝也會保全所有和你同船的人。』 25 所以請各位放心,我深信上帝所說的話必然會成就。 26 只是我們一定會在某個島上擱淺。」
27 第十四天的晚上,我們在亞得里亞海漂來漂去。到了午夜時分,水手都覺得離陸地不遠了, 28 就探測水深,結果約三十六米深,再往前一點,只有二十七米左右。 29 他們怕會觸礁,就從船尾拋下四個錨,暫停前進,期待天亮。 30 水手們想要棄船逃生,假裝要從船頭拋錨,卻偷偷地把救生船放到海裡。 31 保羅對百夫長和士兵們說:「除非他們留下來,否則你們都活不了!」 32 士兵聽了,就砍斷繩索,讓救生船漂走。
33 到了黎明時分,保羅勸大家吃東西,說:「你們提心吊膽、不思飲食已經十四天了。 34 我勸你們吃點東西,好活下去,你們必定毫髮無損。」 35 保羅說完後拿起餅,當眾感謝上帝,然後掰開吃。 36 於是大家都振作起來,吃了些東西。 37 船上共有二百七十六人。 38 吃飽了以後,為了要減輕船的重量,他們把麥子拋進海裡。
安全登陸
39 天亮的時候,水手發現了一片不認識的陸地,看見一個有沙灘的海灣,便決定盡可能在那裡靠岸。 40 於是砍斷錨索,把錨丟在海裡,鬆開舵繩,升起前帆,順著風勢駛向那沙灘。 41 可是,遇到兩流交匯的水域,就在那裡擱了淺,船頭卡在那裡不能動彈,船尾被大浪撞裂了。
42 士兵們想把囚犯全殺掉,怕有人乘機游泳逃走。 43 但百夫長為了救保羅,不准他們輕舉妄動,下令會游泳的先跳到海裡游上岸。 44 其餘的人利用木板和船體的碎片游上岸。結果,全船的人都安全上岸了。
Acts 27
New International Version
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)

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.
