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。
1 And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band. 2 And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself. 4 And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein. 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone; 8 and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them, 10 and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives. 11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east. 13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore. 14 But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo: 15 and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven. 16 And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat: 17 and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven. 18 And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard; 19 and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship. 20 And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away. 21 And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss. 22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve, 24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee. 25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me. 26 But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country: 28 and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms. 29 And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from 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 away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing. 34 Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you. 35 And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat. 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food. 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, throwing out the wheat into the sea. 39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it. 40 And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. 41 But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by 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, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land; 44 and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
