Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
1我們既已得救，才知道那島名叫 馬耳他 。
2The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
2土人看待我們，有非常的情分；因為當時下雨，天氣又冷，就生火接待我們眾人。
3But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
3那時， 保羅 拾起一捆柴，放在火上，有一條毒蛇，因為熱了出來，咬住他的手。
4When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
4土人看見那毒蛇懸在他手上，就彼此說：「這人必是個兇手，雖然從海裏救上來，天理還不容他活着。」
5However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
5保羅 竟把那毒蛇甩在火裏，並沒有受傷。
6But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
6土人想他必要腫起來，或是忽然仆倒死了；看了多時，見他無害，就轉念，說：「他是個神。」
7Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
7離那地方不遠，有田產是島長 部百流 的；他接納我們，盡情款待三日。
8The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
8當時， 部百流 的父親患熱病和痢疾躺着。 保羅 進去， 為他 禱告，按手在他身上，治好了他。
9Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
9從此，島上其餘的病人也來，得了醫治。
10They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
10他們又多方地尊敬我們；到了開船的時候，也把我們所需用的送到船上。
11After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
11過了三個月，我們上了 亞歷山大 的船往前行；這船以「宙斯雙子」為記，是在那海島過了冬的。
12Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
12到了 敘拉古 ，我們停泊三日；
13From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
13又從那裏繞行，來到 利基翁 。過了一天，起了南風，第二天就來到 部丟利 。
14where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
14在那裏遇見弟兄們，請我們與他們同住了七天。這樣，我們來到 羅馬 。
15From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
15那裏的弟兄們一聽見我們的信息就出來，到 亞比烏 市和 三館 地方迎接我們。 保羅 見了他們，就感謝上帝，放心壯膽。
16When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
16進了 羅馬 城， 保羅 蒙准和一個看守他的兵另住在一處。
17After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
17過了三天， 保羅 請 猶太 人的首領來。他們來了，就對他們說：「弟兄們，我雖沒有做甚麼事干犯本國的百姓和我們祖宗的規條，卻被鎖綁，從 耶路撒冷 解在 羅馬 人的手裏。
18who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
18他們審問了我，就願意釋放我；因為在我身上，並沒有該死的罪。
19But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
19無奈 猶太 人不服，我不得已，只好上告於凱撒，並非有甚麼事要控告我本國的百姓。
20For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
20因此，我請你們來見面說話，我原為 以色列 人所指望的，被這鍊子捆鎖。」
21They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
21他們說：「我們並沒有接着從 猶太 來論你的信，也沒有弟兄到這裏來報給我們說你有甚麼不好處。
22But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
22但我們願意聽你的意見如何；因為這教門，我們曉得是到處被毀謗的。」
23When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
23他們和 保羅 約定了日子，就有許多人到他的寓處來。 保羅 從早到晚，對他們講論這事，證明上帝國 的道 ，引 摩西 的律法和先知的書，以耶穌的事勸勉他們。
24Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
24他所說的話，有信的，有不信的。
25When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
25他們彼此不合，就散了；未散以先， 保羅 說了一句話，說：「聖靈藉先知 以賽亞 向你們祖宗所說的話是不錯的。
26saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
26他說： 你去告訴這百姓說： 你們聽是要聽見，卻不明白； 看是要看見，卻不曉得；
27For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
27因為這百姓油蒙了心， 耳朵發沉， 眼睛閉着； 恐怕眼睛看見， 耳朵聽見， 心裏明白，回轉過來， 我就醫治他們。
28“Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
28所以你們當知道，上帝這救恩，如今傳給外邦人，他們也必聽受。」
29When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
