Acts 21

我们离别了众人，就开船一直行到哥士。第二天到了罗底，从那里到帕大喇，

wǒ men lí bié le zhòng rén ， jiù kāi chuán yì zhí xíng dào gē shì 。 dì èr tiān dào le luó dǐ ， cóng nà lǐ dào pà dà lā ，

When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

遇见一只船要往腓尼基去，就上船起行。

yù jiàn yì zhī chuán yào wǎng féi ní jī qù ， jiù shàng chuán qǐ xíng 。

Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

望见塞浦路斯，就从南边行过，往叙利亚去，我们就在泰尔上岸，因为船要在那里卸货。

wàng jiàn sāi pǔ lù sī ， jiù cóng nán biān xíng guò ， wǎng xù lì yà qù ， wǒ men jiù zài tài ěr shàng àn ， yīn wèi chuán yào zài nà lǐ xiè huò 。

When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.

找着了门徒，就在那里住了七天。他们被圣灵感动，对保罗说：「不要上耶路撒冷去。」

zhǎo zhe le mén tú ， jiù zài nà lǐ zhù le qī tiān 。 tā men bèi shèng líng gǎn dòng ， duì bǎo luó shuō ：「 bú yào shàng yē lù sā lěng qù 。」

Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

过了这几天，我们就起身前行。他们众人同妻子儿女，送我们到城外，我们都跪在岸上祷告，彼此辞别。

guò le zhè jǐ tiān ， wǒ men jiù qǐ shēn qián xíng 。 tā men zhòng rén tóng qī zǐ ér nǚ ， sòng wǒ men dào chéng wài ， wǒ men dōu guì zài àn shàng dǎo gào ， bǐ cǐ cí bié 。

When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.

我们上了船，他们就回家去了。

wǒ men shàng le chuán ， tā men jiù huí jiā qù le 。

After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

我们从泰尔行尽了水路，来到多利买，就问那里的弟兄安，和他们同住了一天。

wǒ men cóng tài ěr xíng jìn le shuǐ lù ， lái dào duō lì mǎi ， jiù wèn nà lǐ de dì xiong ān ， hé tā men tóng zhù le yì tiān 。

When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.

第二天，我们离开那里，来到凯撒利亚，就进了传福音的腓利家里，和他同住。他是那七个执事里的一个。

dì èr tiān ， wǒ men lí kāi nà lǐ ， lái dào kǎi sā lì yà ， jiù jìn le chuán fú yīn de féi lì jiā lǐ ， hé tā tóng zhù 。 tā shì nà qī gè zhí shì lǐ de yí gè 。

On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

他有四个女儿，都是处女，是说预言的。

tā yǒu sì gè nǚ ér ， dōu shì chǔ nǚ ， shì shuō yù yán de 。

Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

我们在那里多住了几天，有一个先知，名叫亚迦布，从犹太下来，

wǒ men zài nà lǐ duō zhù le jǐ tiān ， yǒu yí gè xiān zhī ， míng jiào yà jiā bù ， cóng yóu tài xià lái ，

As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

到了我们这里，就拿保罗的腰带捆上自己的手脚，说：「圣灵说：犹太人在耶路撒冷，要如此捆绑这腰带的主人，把他交在外邦人手里。」

dào le wǒ men zhè lǐ ， jiù ná bǎo luó de yāo dài kǔn shàng zì jǐ de shǒu jiǎo ， shuō ：「 shèng líng shuō ： yóu tài rén zài yē lù sā lěng ， yào rú cǐ kǔn bǎng zhè yāo dài de zhǔ rén ， bǎ tā jiāo zài wài bāng rén shǒu lǐ 。」

Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

我们和那本地的人听见这话，都苦劝保罗不要上耶路撒冷去。

wǒ men hé nà běn dì de rén tīng jiàn zhè huà ， dōu kǔ quàn bǎo luó bú yào shàng yē lù sā lěng qù 。

When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

保罗说：「你们为什么这样痛哭，使我心碎呢？我为主耶稣的名，不但被人捆绑，就是死在耶路撒冷也是愿意的。」

bǎo luó shuō ：「 nǐ men wèi shén me zhè yàng tòng kū ， shǐ wǒ xīn suì ne ？ wǒ wéi zhǔ yē sū de míng ， bú dàn bèi rén kǔn bǎng ， jiù shì sǐ zài yē lù sā lěng yě shì yuàn yì de 。」

Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

保罗既不听劝，我们便住了口，只说：「愿主的旨意成就」，便了。

bǎo luó jì bù tīng quàn ， wǒ men biàn zhù le kǒu ， zhī shuō ：「 yuàn zhǔ de zhǐ yì chéng jiù 」， biàn le 。

When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”

过了几日，我们收拾行李上耶路撒冷去。

guò le jǐ rì ， wǒ men shōu shí xíng li shàng yē lù sā lěng qù 。

After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

有凯撒利亚的几个门徒和我们同去，带我们到一个久为 门徒的家里，叫我们与他同住；他名叫拿孙，是塞浦路斯人。

yǒu kǎi sā lì yà de jǐ gè mén tú hé wǒ men tóng qù ， dài wǒ men dào yí gè jiǔ wèi mén tú de jiā lǐ ， jiào wǒ men yǔ tā tóng zhù ； tā míng jiào ná sūn ， shì sāi pǔ lù sī rén 。

Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

到了耶路撒冷，弟兄们欢欢喜喜地接待我们。

dào le yē lù sā lěng ， dì xiong men huān huān xǐ xǐ dì jiē dài wǒ men 。

When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.

第二天，保罗同我们去见雅各；长老们也都在那里。

dì èr tiān ， bǎo luó tóng wǒ men qù jiàn yǎ gè ； zhǎng lǎo men yě dōu zài nà lǐ 。

The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

保罗问了他们安，便将 神用他传教，在外邦人中间所行之事，一一地述说了。

bǎo luó wèn le tā men ān ， biàn jiāng shén yòng tā chuán jiào ， zài wài bāng rén zhōng jiān suǒ xíng zhī shì ， yī yī dì shù shuō le 。

When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.

他们听见，就归荣耀与 神，对保罗说：「兄台，你看犹太人中信主的有多少万，并且都为律法热心。

tā men tīng jiàn ， jiù guī róng yào yǔ shén ， duì bǎo luó shuō ：「 xiōng tái ， nǐ kàn yóu tài rén zhōng xìn zhǔ de yǒu duō shǎo wàn ， bìng qiě dōu wèi lǜ fǎ rè xīn 。

They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

他们听见人说，你教训一切在外邦的犹太人离弃摩西，对他们说，不要给孩子行割礼，也不要遵行条规。

tā men tīng jiàn rén shuō ， nǐ jiào xùn yí qiè zài wài bāng de yóu tài rén lí qì mó xī ， duì tā men shuō ， bú yào gěi hái zi xíng gē lǐ ， yě bú yào zūn xíng tiáo guī 。

They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.

众人必听见你来了，这可怎么办呢？

zhòng rén bì tīng jiàn nǐ lái le ， zhè kě zěn me bàn ne ？

What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

你就照着我们的话行吧！我们这里有四个人，都有愿在身。

nǐ jiù zhào zhe wǒ men de huà xíng ba ！ wǒ men zhè lǐ yǒu sì gè rén ， dōu yǒu yuàn zài shēn 。

Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.

你带他们去，与他们一同行洁净的礼，替他们拿出规费，叫他们得以剃头。这样，众人就可知道，先前所听见你的事都是虚的；并可知道，你自己为人，循规蹈矩，遵行律法。

nǐ dài tā men qù ， yǔ tā men yì tóng háng jié jìng de lǐ ， tì tā men ná chū guī fèi ， jiào tā men dé yǐ tì tóu 。 zhè yàng ， zhòng rén jiù kě zhī dào ， xiān qián suǒ tīng jiàn nǐ de shì dōu shì xū de ； bìng kě zhī dào ， nǐ zì jǐ wèi rén ， xún guī dǎo jǔ ， zūn xíng lǜ fǎ 。

Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.

至于信主的外邦人，我们已经写信拟定，叫他们谨忌那祭偶像之物，和血，并勒死的牲畜，与奸淫。」

zhì yú xìn zhǔ de wài bāng rén ， wǒ men yǐ jīng xiě xìn nǐ dìng ， jiào tā men jǐn jì nà jì ǒu xiàng zhī wù ， hé xuè ， bìng lè sǐ de shēng chù ， yǔ jiān yín 。」

But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”

于是保罗带着那四个人，第二天与他们一同行了洁净的礼，进了殿，报明洁净的日期满足，只等祭司为他们各人献祭。

yú shì bǎo luó dài zhe nà sì gè rén ， dì èr tiān yǔ tā men yì tóng háng le jié jìng de lǐ ， jìn le diàn ， bào míng jié jìng de rì qī mǎn zú ， zhī děng jì sī wèi tā men gè rén xiàn jì 。

Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

那七日将完，从亚细亚来的犹太人看见保罗在殿里，就耸动了众人，下手拿他，

nà qī rì jiāng wán ， cóng yà xì yà lái de yóu tài rén kàn jiàn bǎo luó zài diàn lǐ ， jiù sǒng dòng le zhòng rén ， xià shǒu ná tā ，

When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

喊叫说：「以色列人来帮助，这就是在各处教训众人糟践我们百姓和律法，并这地方的。他又带着希腊人进殿，污秽了这圣地。」（

hǎn jiào shuō ：「 yǐ sè liè rén lái bāng zhù ， zhè jiù shì zài gè chù jiào xùn zhòng rén zāo jiàn wǒ men bǎi xìng hé lǜ fǎ ， bìng zhè dì fāng de 。 tā yòu dài zhe xī là rén jìn diàn ， wū huì le zhè shèng dì 。」（

crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”

这话是因他们曾看见以弗所人特罗非摩同保罗在城里，以为保罗带他进了殿。）

zhè huà shì yīn tā men céng kàn jiàn yǐ fú suǒ rén tè luó fēi mó tóng bǎo luó zài chéng lǐ ， yǐ wéi bǎo luó dài tā jìn le diàn 。）

For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

合城都震动，百姓一齐跑来，拿住保罗，拉他出殿，殿门立刻都关了。

hé chéng dōu zhèn dòng ， bǎi xìng yì qí pǎo lái ， ná zhù bǎo luó ， lā tā chū diàn ， diàn mén lì kè dōu guān le 。

All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

他们正想要杀他，有人报信给营里的千夫长说：「耶路撒冷合城都乱了。」

tā men zhèng xiǎng yào shā tā ， yǒu rén bào xìn gěi yíng lǐ de qiān fū cháng shuō ：「 yē lù sā lěng hé chéng dōu luàn le 。」

As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

千夫长立时带着兵丁和几个百夫长，跑下去到他们那里。他们见了千夫长和兵丁，就止住不打保罗。

qiān fū cháng lì shí dài zhe bīng dīng hé jǐ gè bǎi fū zhǎng ， pǎo xià qù dào tā men nà lǐ 。 tā men jiàn le qiān fū cháng hé bīng dīng ， jiù zhǐ zhù bù dǎ bǎo luó 。

Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

于是千夫长上前拿住他，吩咐用两条铁链捆锁；又问他是什么人，做的是什么事。

yú shì qiān fū zhǎng shàng qián ná zhù tā ， fēn fù yòng liǎng tiáo tiě liàn kǔn suǒ ； yòu wèn tā shì shén me rén ， zuò de shì shén me shì 。

Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

众人有喊叫这个的，有喊叫那个的；千夫长因为这样乱嚷，得不着实情，就吩咐人将保罗带进营楼去。

zhòng rén yǒu hǎn jiào zhè ge de ， yǒu hǎn jiào nà ge de ； qiān fū cháng yīn wèi zhè yàng luàn rǎng ， dé bù zhuó shí qíng ， jiù fēn fù rén jiāng bǎo luó dài jìn yíng lóu qù 。

Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.

到了台阶上，众人挤得凶猛，兵丁只得将保罗抬起来。

dào le tái jiē shàng ， zhòng rén jǐ dé xiōng měng ， bīng dīng zhī dé jiāng bǎo luó tái qǐ lái 。

When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

众人跟在后面，喊着说：「除掉他！」

zhòng rén gēn zài hòu miàn ， hǎn zhe shuō ：「 chú diào tā ！」

for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”

将要带他进营楼，保罗对千夫长说：「我对你说句话可以不可以？」他说：「你懂得希腊话吗？

jiāng yào dài tā jìn yíng lóu ， bǎo luó duì qiān fū cháng shuō ：「 wǒ duì nǐ shuō jù huà kě yǐ bù kě yǐ ？」 tā shuō ：「 nǐ dǒng de xī là huà ma ？

As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?

你莫非是从前作乱、带领四千凶徒往旷野去的那埃及人吗？」

nǐ mò fēi shì cóng qián zuò luàn 、 dài lǐng sì qiān xiōng tú wǎng kuàng yě qù de nà āi jí rén ma ？」

Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”

保罗说：「我本是犹太人，生在基利家的大数，并不是无名小城的人。求你准我对百姓说话。」

bǎo luó shuō ：「 wǒ běn shì yóu tài rén ， shēng zài jī lì jiā de dà shù ， bìng bú shì wú míng xiǎo chéng de rén 。 qiú nǐ zhǔn wǒ duì bǎi xìng shuō huà 。」

But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”

千夫长准了。保罗就站在台阶上，向百姓摆手，他们都静默无声，保罗便用希伯来话对他们说：

qiān fū cháng zhǔn le 。 bǎo luó jiù zhàn zài tái jiē shàng ， xiàng bǎi xìng bǎi shǒu ， tā men dōu jìng mò wú shēng ， bǎo luó biàn yòng xī bó lái huà duì tā men shuō ：

When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
