Atos 27 - Bíblia Online

But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company. 
And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 
And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself. 
And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 
And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia: 
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her. 
And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone; 
and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was {the} city of Lasaea. 
And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them, 
saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. 
But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul. 
And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east. 
And {the} south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete. 
But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon. 
And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven {before it}. 
But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat; 
which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven. 
But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard, 
and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture. 
And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away. 
And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss. 
And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of {any} of you, only of the ship. 
For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, 
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee. 
Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me. 
But we must be cast ashore on a certain island. 
And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them, 
and having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found fifteen fathoms; 
and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come. 
But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow, 
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship *ye* cannot be saved. 
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall. 
And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food. 
Wherefore I exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish. 
And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat. 
And all taking courage, themselves also took food. 
And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six. 
And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea. 
And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore; 
and, having cast off the anchors, they left {them} in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand. 
And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves. 
And {the} counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape. 
But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first {into the sea}, to get out on land; 
and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things {that came} from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land. 

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。 
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。 
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。 
我们又从那里开船， 因为逆风， 就沿着塞浦路斯背风而行。 
渡过基利家和旁非利亚对开的海面， 就到了吕家的每拉。 
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。 
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， 
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。 
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： 
"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。" 
但百夫长宁愿相信船长和船主的话， 却不相信保罗所说的。 
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。 
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。 
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。 
船给风困住了， 不能迎风前行， 只好随着风向飘流。 
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。 
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。 
风浪把我们颠簸得很厉害， 第二天他们就把货物拋在海里， 
第三天又亲手把船上的用具扔掉。 
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。 
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。 
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。 
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： 
‘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。’ 
所以， 各位请放心。我相信 神对我怎样说， 也必怎样成就。 
不过我们必会搁浅在一个海岛上。" 
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， 
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。 
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。 
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。 
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！ " 
于是士兵砍断救生艇的绳子， 任它掉下去。 
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！ 
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。" 
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。 
于是大家都安心吃饭了。 
我们在船上的共有二百七十六人， 
大家吃饱了， 把麦子拋在海里， 好减轻船的负荷。 
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。 
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。 
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。 
士兵想把囚犯都杀掉， 免得有人游泳逃脱。 
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， 
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。
