使徒行傳 27
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1非斯都 既然定規了,叫我們坐船往 意大利 去,便將 保羅 和別的囚犯交給御營裏的一個百夫長,名叫 猶流 。
1When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
2有一隻 亞大米田 的船,要沿着 亞細亞 一帶地方的海邊走,我們就上了那船開行;有 馬其頓 的 帖撒羅尼迦 人 亞里達古 和我們同去。
2We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3第二天,到了 西頓 ; 猶流 寬待 保羅 ,准他往朋友那裏去,受他們的照應。
3The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
4從那裏又開船,因為風不順,就貼着 塞浦路斯 背風岸行去。
4After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5過了 基利家 、 旁非利亞 前面的海,就到了 呂家 的 每拉 。
5And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
6在那裏,百夫長遇見一隻 亞歷山大 的船,要往 意大利 去,便叫我們上了那船。
6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7一連多日,船行得慢,僅僅來到 革尼土 的對面。因為被風攔阻,就貼着 克里特 背風岸,從 撒摩尼 對面行過。
7After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8我們沿岸行走,僅僅來到一個地方,名叫 佳澳 ;離那裏不遠,有 拉西亞 城。
8After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9走的日子多了,已經過了禁食的節期,行船又危險, 保羅 就勸眾人說:
9By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
10「眾位,我看這次行船,不但貨物和船要受損傷,大遭破壞,連我們的性命也難保。」
10“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
11但百夫長信從掌船的和船主,不信從 保羅 所說的。
11But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12且因在這海口過冬不便,船上的人就多半說,不如開船離開這地方,或者能到 菲尼基 過冬。 菲尼基 是 克里特 的一個海口,一面朝東北,一面朝東南。
12Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
13這時,微微起了南風,他們以為得意,就起了錨,貼近 克里特 行去。
13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
14不多幾時,狂風從島上撲下來;那風名叫「友拉革羅」。
14But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
15船被風抓住,敵不住風,我們就任風颳去。
15Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
16貼着一個小島的背風岸奔行,那島名叫 高大 ,在那裏僅僅收住了小船。
16Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
17既然把小船拉上來,就用纜索捆綁船底,又恐怕在 賽耳底 沙灘上擱了淺,就落下篷來,任船飄去。
17After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
18我們被風浪逼得甚急,第二天眾人就把 貨物 拋在海裏。
18We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.
19到第三天,他們又親手把船上的器具拋棄了。
19On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
20太陽和星辰多日不顯露,又有狂風大浪催逼,我們得救的指望就都絕了。
20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.
21眾人多日沒有吃甚麼, 保羅 就出來站在他們中間,說:「眾位,你們本該聽我的話,不離開 克里特 ,免得遭這樣的傷損破壞。
21After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.
22現在我還勸你們放心,你們的性命一個也不失喪,惟獨失喪這船。
22But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.
23因我所屬所事奉的上帝,他的使者昨夜站在我旁邊,說:
23For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
24『 保羅 ,不要害怕,你必定站在凱撒面前,並且與你同船的人,上帝都賜給你了。』
24and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25所以眾位可以放心,我信上帝他怎樣對我說,事情也要怎樣成就。
25So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
26只是我們必要撞在一個島上。」
26However, we must run aground on some island.”
27到了第十四天夜間,船在 亞得里亞海 飄來飄去。約到半夜,水手以為漸近旱地,
27On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28就探深淺,探得有十二丈;稍往前行,又探深淺,探得有九丈。
28They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep. Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.
29恐怕撞在石頭上,就從船尾拋下四個錨,盼望天亮。
29Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
30水手想要逃出船去,把小船放在海裏,假作要從船頭拋錨的樣子。
30Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
31保羅 對百夫長和兵丁說:「這些人若不等在船上,你們必不能得救。」
31But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32於是兵丁砍斷小船的繩子,由它飄去。
32So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
33天漸亮的時候, 保羅 勸眾人都吃飯,說:「你們懸望忍餓不吃甚麼,已經十四天了。
33Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
34所以我勸你們吃飯,這是關乎你們救命的事;因為你們各人連一根頭髮也不至於損壞。」
34So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
35保羅 說了這話,就拿着餅,在眾人面前祝謝了上帝,擘開吃。
35After he had said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36於是他們都放下心,也就吃了。
36They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.
37我們在船上的共有二百七十六個人。
37In all, there were 276 of us on board.
38他們吃飽了,就把船上的麥子拋在海裏,為要叫船輕一點。
38After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39到了天亮,他們不認識那地方,但見一個海灣,有岸可登,就商議能把船攏進去不能。
39When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40於是砍斷纜索,棄錨在海裏;同時也鬆開舵繩,拉起頭篷,順着風向岸行去。
40Cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea as they loosened the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
41但遇着兩水夾流的地方,就把船擱了淺;船頭膠住不動,船尾被浪的猛力衝壞。
41But the vessel struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was being broken up by the pounding of the waves.
42兵丁的意思要把囚犯殺了,恐怕有洑水脫逃的。
42The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom.
43但百夫長要救 保羅 ,不准他們任意而行,就吩咐會洑水的,跳下水去先上岸;
43But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul’s life, thwarted their plan. He commanded those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
44其餘的人可以用板子或船上的零碎東西上岸。這樣,眾人都得了救,上了岸。
44The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.
