使徒行傳 24
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1過了五天，大祭司 亞拿尼亞 同幾個長老，和一個辯士 帖土羅 下來，向巡撫控告 保羅 。
1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
2保羅 被提了來， 帖土羅 就告他說：
2When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
3「 腓力斯 大人，我們因你得以大享太平，並且這一國的弊病，因着你的先見得以更正了；我們隨時隨地滿心感謝不盡。
3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4惟恐多說，你嫌煩絮，只求你寬容聽我們說幾句話。
4But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
5我們看這個人，如同瘟疫一般，是鼓動普天下眾 猶太 人生亂的，又是 拿撒勒 教黨裏的一個頭目，
5For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6連 聖 殿他也想要污穢；我們把他捉住了。
6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
8你自己究問他，就可以知道我們告他的一切事了。」
8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
9眾 猶太 人也隨着告他說：「事情誠然是這樣。」
9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
10巡撫點頭叫 保羅 說話。他就說：「我知道你在這國裏斷事多年，所以我樂意為自己分訴。
10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
11你查問就可以知道，從我上 耶路撒冷 禮拜到今日不過有十二天。
11seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
12他們並沒有看見我在殿裏，或是在會堂裏，或是在城裏，和人辯論，聳動眾人。
12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
13他們現在所告我的事並不能對你證實了。
13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
14但有一件事，我向你承認，就是他們所稱為異端的道，我正按着那道事奉我祖宗的上帝，又信合乎 律法 的和 先知書 上一切所記載的，
14But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
15並且靠着上帝，盼望死人，無論善惡，都要復活，就是他們自己也有這個盼望。
15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16我因此自己勉勵，對上帝對人，常存無虧的良心。
16In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
17過了幾年，我帶着賙濟本國的捐項和供獻的物上去。
17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
18正獻的時候，他們看見我在殿裏已經潔淨了，並沒有聚眾，也沒有吵嚷，惟有幾個從 亞細亞 來的 猶太 人。
18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
19他們若有告我的事，就應當到你面前來告我。
19They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
20即或不然，這些人若看出我站在公會前，有妄為的地方，他們自己也可以說明。
20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
21縱然有，也不過一句話，就是我站在他們中間大聲說：『我今日在你們面前受審，是為死人復活 的道理 。』」
21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
22腓力斯 本是詳細曉得這道，就支吾他們說：「且等千夫長 呂西亞 下來，我要審斷你們的事。」
22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
23於是吩咐百夫長看守 保羅 ，並且寬待他，也不攔阻他的親友來供給他。
23He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
24過了幾天， 腓力斯 和他夫人－ 猶太 的女子 土西拉 －一同來到，就叫了 保羅 來，聽他講論信基督耶穌的道。
24After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
25保羅 講論公義、節制，和將來的審判。 腓力斯 甚覺恐懼，說：「你暫且去吧，等我得便再叫你來。」
25As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
26腓力斯 又指望 保羅 送他銀錢，所以屢次叫他來，和他談論。
26Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
27過了兩年， 波求‧非斯都 接了 腓力斯 的任； 腓力斯 要討 猶太 人的喜歡，就留 保羅 在監裏。
27But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
