- 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;
- And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
- Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
- 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,
- Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

- 十四日目の 夜になったとき, わたしたちは アドリア 海を 漂流していた. 眞夜中ごろ 船員たちは, どこかの 陸地に 近づいているように 感じた.
- そこで, 水の 深さを 測ってみると, 二十 オルギィア あることが 分かった. もう 少し 進んでまた 測ってみると, 十五 オルギィア であった.
- 船が 暗礁に 乘り 上げることを 恐れて, 船員たちは 船尾から 錨を 四つ 投げ ¿み, 夜の 明けるのを 待ちわびた.
- ところが, 船員たちは 船から 逃げ 出そうとし, 船首から 錨を 降ろす 振りをして 小舟を 海に 降ろしたので,
- パウロ は 百人隊長と 兵士たちに, 「あの 人たちが 船にとどまっていなければ, あなたがたは 助からない 」と 言った.

- Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
|
- そこで, 兵士たちは 綱を 斷ち 切って, 小舟を 流れるにまかせた.
- 夜が 明けかけたころ, パウロ は 一同に 食事をするように 勸めた. 「今日で 十四日もの 間, 皆さんは 不安のうちに 全く 何も 食べずに, 過ごしてきました.
- だから, どうぞ 何か 食べてください. 生き 延びるために 必要だからです. あなたがたの 頭から 髮の 毛一本もなくなることはありません. 」
- こう 言って パウロ は, 一同の 前で パン を 取って 神に 感謝の 祈りをささげてから, それを 裂いて 食べ 始めた.
- そこで, 一同も 元氣づいて 食事をした.

- And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
- And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- 船にいたわたしたちは, 全部で 二百七十六人であった.
- 十分に 食べてから, 穀物を 海に 投げ 捨てて 船を 輕くした.
- 朝になって, どこの 陸地であるか 分からなかったが, 砂浜のある 入り 江を 見つけたので, できることなら, そこへ 船を 乘り 入れようということになった.
- そこで, 錨を 切り 離して 海に 捨て, 同時に 舵の 綱を 解き, 風に 船首の 帆を 上げて, 砂浜に 向かって 進んだ.
- ところが, 深みに 挾まれた 淺瀨にぶつかって 船を 乘り 上げてしまい, 船首がめり ¿んで 動かなくなり, 船尾は 激しい 波で 壞れだした.
|
- And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
- 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:
- 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.
|
- 兵士たちは, 囚人たちが 泳いで 逃げないように, 殺そうと 計ったが,
- 百人隊長は パウロ を 助けたいと 思ったので, この 計畵を 思いとどまらせた. そして, 泳げる 者がまず 飛び ¿んで 陸に 上がり,
- 殘りの 者は 板切れや 船の 乘組員につかまって 泳いで 行くように 命令した. このようにして, 全員が 無事に 上陸した.
