¹保罗启程往罗马

¹And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,

²有一艘亚大米田来的船，要开往亚西亚沿岸一带的地方，我们上去，船就开了。跟我们在一起的，还有马其顿的帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古。

²and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

³第二天到了西顿，犹流宽待保罗，准他去看看朋友，接受他们的招待。

³on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit [him], having gone on unto friends, to receive [their] care.

⁴我们又从那里开船，因为逆风，就沿着塞浦路斯背风而行。

⁴And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

⁵渡过基利家和旁非利亚对开的海面，就到了吕家的每拉。

⁵and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,

⁶百夫长在那里找到一艘亚历山太来的船，要开往意大利去，就叫我们上了那船。

⁶and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

⁷一连几天，船都走得很慢，好不容易才到了革尼土的对面。因为有风阻挡着我们，就沿着克里特背风而行，从撒摩尼对面经过，

⁷and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

⁸沿着海岸行驶，航程很艰难，后来才到了靠近拉西亚城一个名叫美港的地方。

⁸and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,` nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea.

⁹过了相当的时候，连禁食节也过去了，所以航行很危险，保罗就劝告他们，说：

⁹And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous — because of the fast also being already past — Paul was admonishing,

¹⁰“各位，我看这次航行，不单货物和船只要遭到损失，大受破坏，连我们的性命也难保。”

¹⁰saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives — the voyage is about to be;`

¹¹但百夫长宁愿相信船长和船主的话，却不相信保罗所说的。

¹¹but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

¹²而且这港口不适宜过冬，所以大多数人主张离开那里，也许可以到非尼基去过冬。非尼基是克里特的一个港口，一面向西南，一面向西北。

¹²and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, [there] to winter, [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

¹³船在海上遇暴风这时南风徐徐地吹来，他们以为风势有利，就起锚沿着克里特航行。

¹³and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

¹⁴可是过了不久，有一股名叫“友拉革罗”（“友拉革罗”意即“东北风”）的飓风，向岛上吹袭。

¹⁴and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

¹⁵船给风困住了，不能迎风前行，只好随着风向飘流。

¹⁵and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on,

¹⁶有一个小岛名叫高达，我们就在这岛的背风岸急航，好不容易才把救生艇拉住。

¹⁶and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,

¹⁷水手把艇拉上来，用缆索绕过船身捆好。他们怕船在赛耳底搁浅，就收下船帆，任船飘流。

¹⁷which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast — so were borne on.

¹⁸风浪把我们颠簸得很厉害，第二天他们就把货物拋在海里，

¹⁸And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,

¹⁹第三天又亲手把船上的用具扔掉。

¹⁹and on the third [day] with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

²⁰好几天，都看不见星星和太阳，狂风大浪催逼着我们，这样看来，我们连生还的希望都没有了。

²⁰and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

²¹大家很久没有吃饭了，保罗就站在他们中间，说：“各位，你们本来应该听我的话不离开克里特，就不会遭受这场损失和破坏了。

²¹And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved [you], indeed, O men — having hearkened to me — not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;

²²现在我劝你们放心。除了这艘船以外，你们没有一个人会丧命的。

²²and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you — but of the ship;

²³因为我所归属所事奉的　神，他的使者昨天夜里站在我的旁边，说：

²³for there stood by me this night a messenger of God — whose I am, and whom I serve —

²⁴‘保罗，不要怕。你必定可以站在凯撒面前；　神已经把那些和你同船的人赐给你了。’

²⁴saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

²⁵所以，各位请放心。我相信　神对我怎样说，也必怎样成就。

²⁵wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,

²⁶不过我们必会搁浅在一个海岛上。”

²⁶and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.`

²⁷到了第十四天的晚上，我们在亚得里亚海飘来飘去。约在半夜的时候，水手以为接近了陆地，

²⁷And when the fourteenth night came — we being borne up and down in the Adria — toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;

²⁸就探测一下，深三十六公尺；稍往前行，再探测一下，深二十七公尺。

²⁸and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,

²⁹他们怕我们会在乱石上搁浅，就从船尾拋下四个锚，期待着天亮。

²⁹and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.

³⁰水手们想要离船逃走，就把救生艇放在海上，假装要从船头拋锚的样子。

³⁰And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as [if] out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,

³¹保罗对百夫长和士兵说：“这些人若不留在船上，你们就性命难保！”

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship — ye are not able to be saved;`

³²于是士兵砍断救生艇的绳子，任它掉下去。

³²then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.

³³天快亮的时候，保罗劝大家吃饭，说：“你们一直不吃东西，挨饿苦候，到今天已经十四天了！

³³And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing,

³⁴所以，我劝你们吃点饭，这可以维持你们的性命！因为你们没有人会失掉一根头发。”

³⁴wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;`

³⁵保罗说了这话，就拿起饼来，在众人面前感谢　神，然后擘开来吃。

³⁵and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;

³⁶于是大家都安心吃饭了。

³⁶and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,

³⁷我们在船上的共有二百七十六人，

³⁷(and we were — all the souls in the ship — two hundred, seventy and six),

³⁸大家吃饱了，把麦子拋在海里，好减轻船的负荷。

³⁸and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.

³⁹船只搁浅、众人脱险天亮的时候，他们不认得那个地方，只看见一个可以登岸的海湾，就有意尽可能把船拢岸。

³⁹And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,

⁴⁰于是把锚砍掉，丢在海里，同时又松开舵绳，拉起前帆，顺风向岸驶去。

⁴⁰and the anchors having taken up, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time — having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind — they were making for the shore,

⁴¹但在海水夹流的地方，船就搁了浅，船头胶着不动，船尾被海浪冲击，就损坏了。

⁴¹and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves.

⁴²士兵想把囚犯都杀掉，免得有人游泳逃脱。

⁴²And the soldiers` counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,

⁴³但百夫长想要救保罗，就阻止他们这样行。他吩咐会游泳的跳下水去，先到岸上，

⁴³but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first — to get unto the land,

⁴⁴其余的人可以用木板，或船上的器具上岸。这样，大家都安全地上岸了。

⁴⁴and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
