使徒行傳 21
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1我們離別了眾人，就開船一直行到 哥士 。第二天到了 羅底 ，從那裏到 帕大喇 ，
1When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2遇見一隻船要往 腓尼基 去，就上船起行。
2Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3望見 塞浦路斯 ，就從南邊行過，往 敘利亞 去，我們就在 泰爾 上岸，因為船要在那裏卸貨。
3When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
4找着了門徒，就在那裏住了七天。他們被聖靈感動，對 保羅 說：「不要上 耶路撒冷 去。」
4Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5過了這幾天，我們就起身前行。他們眾人同妻子兒女，送我們到城外，我們都跪在岸上禱告，彼此辭別。
5When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6我們上了船，他們就回家去了。
6After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7我們從 泰爾 行盡了水路，來到 多利買 ，就問那裏的弟兄安，和他們同住了一天。
7When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8第二天，我們離開那裏，來到 凱撒利亞 ，就進了傳福音的 腓利 家裏，和他同住。他是那七個 執事 裏的一個。
8On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9他有四個女兒，都是處女，是說預言的。
9Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10我們在那裏多住了幾天，有一個先知，名叫 亞迦布 ，從 猶太 下來，
10As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11到了我們這裏，就拿 保羅 的腰帶捆上自己的手腳，說：「聖靈說： 猶太 人在 耶路撒冷 ，要如此捆綁這腰帶的主人，把他交在外邦人手裏。」
11Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12我們和那本地的人聽見這話，都苦勸 保羅 不要上 耶路撒冷 去。
12When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13保羅 說：「你們為甚麼這樣痛哭，使我心碎呢？我為主耶穌的名，不但被人捆綁，就是死在 耶路撒冷 也是願意的。」
13Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14保羅 既不聽勸，我們便住了口，只說：「願主的旨意成就」，便了。
14When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15過了幾日，我們收拾行李上 耶路撒冷 去。
15After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16有 凱撒利亞 的幾個門徒和我們同去，帶我們到一個久為門徒的家裏，叫我們與他同住；他名叫 拿孫 ，是 塞浦路斯 人。
16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17到了 耶路撒冷 ，弟兄們歡歡喜喜地接待我們。
17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18第二天， 保羅 同我們去見 雅各 ；長老們也都在那裏。
18The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19保羅 問了他們安，便將上帝用他傳教，在外邦人中間所行之事，一一地述說了。
19When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20他們聽見，就歸榮耀與上帝，對 保羅 說：「兄台，你看 猶太 人中信主的有多少萬，並且都為律法熱心。
20They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21他們聽見人說，你教訓一切在外邦的 猶太 人離棄 摩西 ，對他們說，不要給孩子行割禮，也不要遵行條規。
21They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22眾人必聽見你來了，這可怎麼辦呢？
22What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23你就照着我們的話行吧！ 我們這裏有四個人，都有願在身。
23Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24你帶他們去，與他們一同行潔淨的禮，替他們拿出規費，叫他們得以剃頭。這樣，眾人就可知道，先前所聽見你的事都是虛的；並可知道，你自己為人，循規蹈矩，遵行律法。
24Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
25至於信主的外邦人，我們已經寫信擬定，叫他們謹忌那祭偶像之物，和血，並勒死的牲畜，與姦淫。」
25But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
26於是 保羅 帶着那四個人，第二天與他們一同行了潔淨的禮，進了殿，報明潔淨的日期滿足，只等 祭司 為他們各人獻祭。
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27那七日將完，從 亞細亞 來的 猶太 人看見 保羅 在殿裏，就聳動了眾人，下手拿他，
27When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28喊叫說：「 以色列 人來幫助，這就是在各處教訓眾人糟踐 我們 百姓和律法，並這地方的。他又帶着 希臘 人進殿，污穢了這聖地。」（
28crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
29這話是因他們曾看見 以弗所 人 特羅非摩 同 保羅 在城裏，以為 保羅 帶他進了殿。）
29For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30合城都震動，百姓一齊跑來，拿住 保羅 ，拉他出殿，殿門立刻都關了。
30All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31他們正想要殺他，有人報信給營裏的千夫長說：「 耶路撒冷 合城都亂了。」
31As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32千夫長立時帶着兵丁和幾個百夫長，跑下去到他們那裏。他們見了千夫長和兵丁，就止住不打 保羅 。
32Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33於是千夫長上前拿住他，吩咐用兩條鐵鍊捆鎖；又問他是甚麼人，做的是甚麼事。
33Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34眾人有喊叫這個的，有喊叫那個的；千夫長因為這樣亂嚷，得不着實情，就吩咐人將 保羅 帶進營樓去。
34Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35到了臺階上，眾人擠得兇猛，兵丁只得將 保羅 抬起來。
35When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36眾人跟在後面，喊着說：「除掉他！」
36for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37將要帶他進營樓， 保羅 對千夫長說：「我對你說句話可以不可以？」他說：「你懂得希臘話嗎？
37As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
38你莫非是從前作亂、帶領四千兇徒往曠野去的那 埃及 人嗎？」
38Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
39保羅 說：「我本是 猶太 人，生在 基利家 的 大數 ，並不是無名小城的人。求你准我對百姓說話。」
39But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40千夫長准了。 保羅 就站在臺階上，向百姓擺手，他們都靜默無聲， 保羅 便用希伯來話對他們說：
40When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
