1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band. 2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. 13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. 14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: 17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. 18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. 21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. 22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. 27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country; 28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, 31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. 37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. 40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. 41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. 42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
1 他们决定要我们坐船往意大利去， 就把保罗和别的囚犯， 交给皇家军营里的一个百夫长， 名叫犹流。
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。
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。
4 我们又从那里开船， 因为逆风， 就沿着塞浦路斯背风而行。
5 渡过基利家和旁非利亚对开的海面， 就到了吕家的每拉。
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。
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，
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。
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：
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。"
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。
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。
13 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。
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。
15 船给风困住了， 不能迎风前行， 只好随着风向飘流。
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。
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。
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，
19 第三天又亲手把船上的用具扔掉。
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。
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。
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。
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：
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。’
25 所以， 各位请放心。我相信 神对我怎样说， 也必怎样成就。
26 不过我们必会搁浅在一个海岛上。"
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，
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。
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。
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。
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！ "
32 于是士兵砍断救生艇的绳子， 任它掉下去。
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！
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。"
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。
36 于是大家都安心吃饭了。
37 我们在船上的共有二百七十六人，
38 大家吃饱了， 把麦子拋在海里， 好减轻船的负荷。
39 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。
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。
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。
42 士兵想把囚犯都杀掉， 免得有人游泳逃脱。
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，
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。
