舟身雖大、且為暴風所驅、而舵師宴然把一小舵、亦能駕駛自如。

看哪，船只虽然甚大，又被大风催逼，只用小小的舵，就随着掌舵的意思转动。

再看船只，虽然甚大，又被强风猛吹，只用小小的舵就随着掌舵的意思转动。

一艘大船在遭遇暴风吹袭时，船身虽然庞大，但舵手只要操纵一个小小的舵，就能随意驾驶它。

试看，船只虽然甚大，又被狂风催逼，舵手只用小小的舵，就可以随意操纵。

再看船只，虽然它那么大，又被狂风吹逐，但是无论舵手的意图想去哪里，它都能被小小的舵来驾驭。

試觀諸舟如彼其大、且為狂風所盪、運以小舵、則隨舵師所欲、

雖有巨舟、為狂風動盪、而小舵得以運轉、隨舟子指揮、

舟雖大、且為狂風飄蕩、而小舵得以運轉、隨舵師所欲、

Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.

And how about ships? They are very big. They are driven along by strong winds. But they are steered by a very small rudder. It makes them go where the captain wants to go.

Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong.

And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

Look at the ships too: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are nevertheless directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot determines.

Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.

Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

Behold also the ships, which though[ they be] so great, and[ are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

Look at ships too: Though they are so large and driven by harsh winds, they are steered by a tiny rudder wherever the pilot’s inclination directs.

Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

但一起意。風掀浪翻。升如冲天。降若墜淵。踉蹌瞑眩。有如醉顚。雖有智巧。何以自全。

未幾、颶風自島上撲來、是風名曰『友拉革羅、』譯言東北風；其舟為風控制、不能頂風而行、吾儕遂任風漂流、傍小島背風岸而駛、是島名曰高大。吾儕盡力操縱僅將小艇曳進；既曳小艇上、即以大索護舟底；又恐於賽耳底沙灘擱淺、乃降帆、任舟飄蕩。吾儕為風浪威逼甚急：次日、眾將貨物投之海中、至第三日、彼等又親將舟上之器具拋棄。日星隱曜已歷多日；狂風怒濤、方興未艾、吾儕獲濟之望已絕、眾未進食者、亦已多日。葆樂出、挺立眾中曰：『諸君、汝等本應聽予之言、不離革哩底、則亦不致招此艱危損失、予今仍勸汝等安心、汝等將無人失其生命、惟失此舟耳。以予所隸屬、所奉之天主、其使者昨夜立予前曰：「葆樂勿畏、汝必得立於凱撒前；且與汝同舟共濟者、天主悉以賜汝矣。」以是諸君儘可安心；予信天主；彼所言者、事在必成。然必擱於一島矣。』逮第十四日夜間、舟於亞底亞海中漂流、約午夜、舟子以為漸與陸近、乃測其深淺、得二十噚；稍前行、又測之、得十五噚；恐觸石、即自舟尾拋錨、以待天明。舟子欲潛自離舟、以拋錨舟首為名、下小艇於海。葆樂語巴總及士卒曰：『舟人苟不留於舟中、則汝等必不能獲救。』於是士卒斷小艇之索、任其漂流。天將曙、葆樂勸眾進食曰：『汝等提心吊膽、不進食者、十四日於茲矣。故予勸汝等進食、俾克自全、保爾各人毫髮無損。』葆樂作是語畢、即持餅於眾前、申謝天主、擘而食之、於是眾皆安心、亦即進食。吾儕在舟中者、共二百七十六人。彼等既食、遂投麥於海、以輕舟身；

海中大風倏起、舟為浪淹。耶穌方寐、
