- 27:1 And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the Augustan cohort.
他们既定规了,叫我们坐船往义大利去,就将保罗和别的囚犯,交给御营里一个名叫犹流的百夫长。
- 27:2 And going on board an Adramyttian ship which was about to sail to places along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
有一只亚大米田的船,要开往亚西亚沿岸一带地方,我们上去,船就开行,和我们同去的,还有马其顿的帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古。
- 27:3 And on the next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, allowed him to go to his friends to receive care.
第二天,我们在西顿靠了岸,犹流宽待保罗,准他往朋友那里去,受他们的照应。
- 27:4 And from there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of Cyprus because the winds were contrary.
从那里又开船,因为风不顺,就贴着居比路的背风岸航行。
- 27:5 And having sailed across the open sea which lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra of Lycia.
过了基利家、旁非利亚一带的海,就到了吕家的每拉。
- 27:6 And there the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy, and he put us onto it.
在那里,百夫长找到一只亚力山大的船,要开往义大利去,便叫我们上了那船。
- 27:7 And when we had sailed slowly for a considerable number of days and came with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to go on, we sailed under the shelter of Crete, off Salmone.
一连多日,船行得慢,好不容易到了革尼土一带,因为被风拦阻,就贴着革哩底的背风岸,从撒摩尼对面行过。
- 27:8 And coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.
我们沿岸航行,好不容易来到一个地方名叫佳澳,离那里不远,有拉西亚城。
- 27:9 And when considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, and also because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,
过了相当的时候,禁食的节期也过去了,行船又危险,保罗就劝众人说,
- 27:10 Saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is to be with damage and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
诸位,我看这次航行,不但货物和船只要受到伤害,大遭损失,就连我们的性命也难保。
- 27:11 But the centurion was persuaded by the navigator and the ship's owner rather than by the things that were being said by Paul.
但百夫长宁愿信从船长和船主,却不信从保罗所说的。
- 27:12 And as the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority gave counsel to put out to sea from there, if somehow they might be able to reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing northeast and southeast, and spend the winter there.
且因这港口不适于过冬,大多数的人就主张从那里开船,或者能到非尼喀过冬。非尼喀是革哩底的一个港口,一面朝东北,一面朝东南。
- 27:13 And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete close inshore.
这时微微起了南风,他们以为对目的地已有把握,就起锚,贴近革哩底航行。
- 27:14 But not long afterward there beat down from the island a hurricane wind called Euraquilo.
但过了不久,一股名叫友拉革罗的狂风,从岛上扑下来,
- 27:15 And when the ship was caught by it and was not able to face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
船被风抓住,敌不住风,我们就任风刮去,
- 27:16 And running under the shelter of a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get control of the small boat.
贴着一个小岛的背风岸奔航,那岛名叫高大,我们好不容易才收住小艇。
- 27:17 And when they had hoisted it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. And because they feared that they might run aground on Syrtis, they lowered the gear and so were driven along.
既把小艇拉上来,就用缆绳捆绑船底;又恐怕撞在赛耳底沙滩上,就放下帆来,任船飘流。
- 27:18 The next day, as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo;
我们被风浪颠簸得很厉害,第二天众人就把货物抛出去,
- 27:19 And on the third day they threw the ship's gear overboard, even with their own hands.
到第三天,他们又亲手把船上的用具抛弃了。
- 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and while no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope that we might be saved was being abandoned.
太阳和星辰多日不显露,又有狂风大浪催逼,我们得救的指望就都绝了。
- 27:21 And when they had been a long time without food, Paul then stood in their midst and said, O men, you should have listened to me and not set sail from Crete and gained this damage and loss.
众人多日没有吃什么,保罗就站在他们中间,说,诸位,你们本该听从我,不离开革哩底,免得遭受这样的伤害和损失。
- 27:22 And now I advise you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
现在我还劝你们放心振作,因为你们中间没有一个人会丧命,惟独失丧这船,
- 27:23 For this very night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood by me,
因我所属所事奉的神,祂的使者昨夜站在我旁边,说,
- 27:24 Saying, Do not fear, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.
保罗,不要害怕,你必站在该撒面前,看哪,与你同船的人,神都赐给你了。
- 27:25 Therefore, cheer up, men, for I believe God that it shall be so, even in the way in which it has been spoken to me.
所以诸位,要放心振作,我信神怎样对我说,事情也要怎样成就。
- 27:26 But we must run aground on a certain island.
只是我们必撞在一个岛上。
- 27:27 But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about the middle of the night the sailors suspected that some land was approaching them.
到了第十四天夜里,我们在亚底亚海飘来飘去,约到半夜,水手以为渐近旱地,
- 27:28 And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they sounded again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.
就探探深浅,探得有二十噚;稍往前行,又探探深浅,探得有十五噚。
- 27:29 And fearing that we might run aground somewhere on rocky places, they threw four anchors from the stern and wished for day to come.
恐怕撞在石头上,就从船尾抛下四个锚,期待着天亮。
- 27:30 And when the sailors sought to flee from the ship, having lowered the small boat into the sea under pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow,
水手想要离船逃走,就把小艇放在海里,假作要从船头抛锚的样子。
- 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, you cannot be saved.
保罗对百夫长和兵丁说,这些人若不留在船上,你们必不能得救。
- 27:32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the small boat and let it fall away.
于是兵丁砍断小艇的绳子,任它飘去。
- 27:33 And until day was about to come, Paul encouraged them all to take some food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued watching without food, taking nothing.
从那时到天快亮,保罗一直劝众人用饭,说,你们悬望忍饿不吃什么,今天已是第十四天了。
- 27:34 Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your salvation; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.
所以我劝你们用饭,这与你们的得救有关,因为你们各人连一根头发也不至于损坏。
- 27:35 And when he had said these things and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all; and he broke it and began to eat.
保罗说了这话,就拿着饼,在众人面前感谢了神,然后擘开来吃。
- 27:36 And all became cheerful, and they also took food.
于是众人都放心振作,也就用饭了。
- 27:37 Now we were in all two hundred and seventy-six souls in the ship.
我们在船上的,共有二百七十六个人。
- 27:38 And when they were satisfied with food, they began to lighten the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
他们吃饱了,就把麦子抛在海里,叫船轻一点。
- 27:39 And when day came, they could not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay, which had a beach, into which they took counsel to drive the ship, if they were able.
到了天亮,他们不认识那地方,只看见一个有岸可登的海湾,就商议能把船拢进去不能。
- 27:40 And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the bands of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the blowing of the wind, they held course for the beach.
于是把锚丢弃在海里,同时松开舵绳,拉起前帆,顺着风向岸驶去。
- 27:41 But striking a sandbar with the sea on both sides, they ran the vessel aground; and the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was broken up by the violence of the waves.
但遇着两水夹流的地方,就把船搁了浅;船头胶着不动,船尾被浪猛力冲坏了。
- 27:42 And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone swim away and escape;
兵丁的意思是要把囚犯杀了,恐怕有人泅水逃走;
- 27:43 But the centurion, intending to bring Paul safely through, prevented them from their intention and ordered those who were able to swim to throw themselves overboard first and get to the land,
但百夫长愿意叫保罗安全得救,不准他们任意而行,就吩咐会泅水的,跳下水去先上岸;
- 27:44 And the rest to follow, some on planks, and others on some of the things from the ship. And so it happened that all were brought safely through onto the land.
其余的人,有的可以用木板,有的可以用船上的东西上岸。这样,众人都安全得救上了岸。
