- 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."
|
- わたしたちが アドリヤ 海に 漂ってから 十四日目の 夜になった 時, 眞夜中ごろ, 水夫らはどこかの 陸地に 近づいたように 感じた.
- そこで, 水の 深さを 測ってみたところ, 二十ひろであることがわかった. それから 少し 進んで, もう 一度測ってみたら, 十五ひろであった.
- わたしたちが, 万一暗礁に 乘り 上げては 大變だと, 人¿は 氣づかって, ともから 四つのいかりを 投げおろし, 夜の 明けるのを 待ちわびていた.
- その 時, 水夫らが 舟から 逃げ 出そうと 思って, へさきからいかりを 投げおろすと 見せかけ, 小舟を 海におろしていたので,
- パウロ は, 百卒長や 兵卒たちに 言った, 「あの 人たちが, 舟に 殘っていなければ, あなたがたは 助からない 」.
|
- 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.

- そこで 兵卒たちは, 小舟の 綱を 斷ち 切って, その 流れて 行くままに 任せた.
- 夜が 明けかけたころ, パウロ は 一同の 者に, 食事をするように 勸めて 言った, 「あなたがたが 食事もせずに, 見張りを 續けてから, 何も 食べないで, きょうが 十四日目に 當る.
- だから, いま 食事を 取ることをお 勸めする. それが, あなたがたを 救うことになるのだから. たしかに 髮の 毛ひとすじでも, あなたがたの 頭から 失われることはないであろう 」.
- 彼はこう 言って, パン を 取り, みんなの 前で 神に 感謝し, それをさいて 食べはじめた.
- そこで, みんなの 者も 元氣づいて 食事をした.

- 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.

- 舟にいたわたしたちは, 合わせて 二百七十六人であった.
- みんなの 者は, じゅうぶんに 食事をした 後, 穀物を 海に 投げすてて 舟を 輕くした.
- 夜が 明けて, どこの 土地かよくわからなかったが, 砂浜のある 入江が 見えたので, できれば, それに 舟を 乘り 入れようということになった.
- そこで, いかりを 切り 離して 海に 捨て, 同時にかじの 綱をゆるめ, 風に 前の 帆をあげて, 砂浜にむかって 進んだ.
- ところが, 潮流の 流れ 合う 所に 突き 進んだため, 舟を 淺瀨に 乘りあげてしまって, へさきがめり ¿んで 動かなくなり, ともの 方は 激浪のためにこわされた.
|
- 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.
|
- 兵卒たちは, 囚人らが 泳いで 逃げるおそれがあるので, 殺してしまおうと 圖ったが,
- 百卒長は, パウロ を 救いたいと 思うところから, その 意圖をしりぞけ, 泳げる 者はまず 海に 飛び ¿んで 陸に 行き,
- その 他の 者は, 板や 舟の 破片に 乘って 行くように 命じた. こうして, 全部の 者が 上陸して 救われたのであった.
