使徒行传 25
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1非斯都 到了任,过了三天,就从 凯撒利亚 上 耶路撒冷 去。
1Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
2祭司长和 犹太 人的首领向他控告 保罗 ,
2Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
3又央告他,求他的情,将 保罗 提到 耶路撒冷 来,他们要在路上埋伏杀害他。
3asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
4非斯都 却回答说:「 保罗 押在 凯撒利亚 ,我自己快要往那里去」;
4However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
5又说:「你们中间有权势的人与我一同下去,那人若有什么不是,就可以告他。」
5“Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
6非斯都 在他们那里住了不过十天八天,就下 凯撒利亚 去;第二天坐堂,吩咐将 保罗 提上来。
6When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
7保罗 来了,那些从 耶路撒冷 下来的 犹太 人周围站着,将许多重大的事控告他,都是不能证实的。
7When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
8保罗 分诉说:「无论 犹太 人的律法,或是 圣 殿,或是凯撒,我都没有干犯。」
8while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
9但 非斯都 要讨 犹太 人的喜欢,就问 保罗 说:「你愿意上 耶路撒冷 去,在那里听我审断这事吗?」
9But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
10保罗 说:「我站在凯撒的堂前,这就是我应当受审的地方。我向 犹太 人并没有行过什么不义的事,这也是你明明知道的。
10But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
11我若行了不义的事,犯了什么该死的罪,就是死,我也不辞。他们所告我的事若都不实,就没有人可以把我交给他们。我要上告于凯撒。」
11For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
12非斯都 和议会商量了,就说:「你既上告于凯撒,可以往凯撒那里去。」
12Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
13过了些日子, 亚基帕 王和 百妮基 氏来到 凯撒利亚 ,问 非斯都 安。
13Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
14在那里住了多日, 非斯都 将 保罗 的事告诉王,说:「这里有一个人,是 腓力斯 留在监里的。
14As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
15我在 耶路撒冷 的时候,祭司长和 犹太 的长老将他的事禀报了我,求我定他的罪。
15about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
16我对他们说,无论什么人,被告还没有和原告对质,未得机会分诉所告他的事,就先定他的罪,这不是 罗马 人的条例。
16I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
17及至他们都来到这里,我就不耽延,第二天便坐堂,吩咐把那人提上来。
17When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
18告他的人站着告他;所告的,并没有我所逆料的那等恶事。
18When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
19不过是有几样辩论,为他们自己敬鬼神的事,又为一个人名叫耶稣,是已经死了, 保罗 却说他是活着的。
19but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20这些事当怎样究问,我心里作难,所以问他说:『你愿意上 耶路撒冷 去,在那里为这些事听审吗?』
20Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
21但 保罗 求我留下他,要听皇上审断,我就吩咐把他留下,等我解他到凯撒那里去。」
21But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
22亚基帕 对 非斯都 说:「我自己也愿听这人辩论。」 非斯都 说:「明天你可以听。」
22Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
23第二天, 亚基帕 和 百妮基 大张威势而来,同着众千夫长和城里的尊贵人进了公厅。 非斯都 吩咐一声,就有人将 保罗 带进来。
23So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
24非斯都 说:「 亚基帕 王和在这里的诸位啊,你们看这人,就是一切 犹太 人,在 耶路撒冷 和这里,曾向我恳求、呼叫说:『不可容他再活着。』
24Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
25但我查明他没有犯什么该死的罪,并且他自己上告于皇帝,所以我定意把他解去。
25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
26论到这人,我没有确实的事可以奏明主上。因此,我带他到你们面前,也特意带他到你 亚基帕 王面前,为要在查问之后有所陈奏。
26of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
27据我看来,解送囚犯,不指明他的罪案是不合理的。」
27For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
