- 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.

- But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land.
- They took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be fifteen fathoms.
- Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.
- But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the ship's boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow,
- Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved."
|
- 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.
|
- Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it fall away.
- Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing.
- "Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish."
- Having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat.
- All of them were encouraged and they themselves also took food.
|
- 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.

- All of us in the ship were two hundred and seventy-six persons.
- When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.
- When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.
- And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach.
- But striking a reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves.
|
- 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.
|
- The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape;
- but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,
- and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land.
