Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
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 ，
2And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard, and set forth.
2遇見一隻船要往 腓尼基 去，就上船起行。
3And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
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。
4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
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。」
5And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and we prayed.
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。
6And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship; and they returned home.
6我們上了船，他們就回家去了。
7But we having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.
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。
8And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
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。
9And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.
9他有四個女兒，都是處女，是說預言的。
10And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
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，
11Who, when he was come to us, took Paul’s girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
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。」
12Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place, desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.
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。
13Then Paul answered, and said: What do you mean weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
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。」
14And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.
14保羅 既不聽勸，我們便住了口，只說：「願主的旨意成就」，便了。
15And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.
15過了幾日，我們收拾行李上 耶路撒冷 去。
16And there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
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。
17And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
17到了 耶路撒冷 ，弟兄們歡歡喜喜地接待我們。
18And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James; and all the ancients were assembled.
18第二天， 保羅 同我們去見 雅各 ；長老們也都在那裏。
19Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
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。
20But they hearing it, glorified God, and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law.
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。
21Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles, to depart from Moses: saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.
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。
22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
22眾人必聽見你來了，這可怎麼辦呢？
23Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them.
23你就照着我們的話行吧！ 我們這裏有四個人，都有願在身。
24Take these, and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that the things which they have heard of thee, are false; but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law.
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。
25But as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangles, and from fornication.
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。」
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them.
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。
27But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands upon him, crying out:
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，
28Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place.
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。」（
29(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
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。）
30And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
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。
31And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band, That all Jerusalem was in confusion.
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。」
32Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating Paul.
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 。
33Then the tribune coming near, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
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。
34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
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。
35And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.
35到了臺階上，眾人擠得兇猛，兵丁只得將 保羅 抬起來。
36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him.
36眾人跟在後面，喊着說：「除掉他！」
37And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek?
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？
38Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult, and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers?
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？」
39But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
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。」
40And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:
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：
