使徒行傳 25
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1非斯都 到了任，過了三天，就從 凱撒利亞 上 耶路撒冷 去。
1Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
2祭司長和 猶太 人的首領向他控告 保羅 ，
2where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged Festus
3又央告他，求他的情，將 保羅 提到 耶路撒冷 來，他們要在路上埋伏殺害他。
3to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
4非斯都 卻回答說：「 保羅 押在 凱撒利亞 ，我自己快要往那裏去」；
4But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
5又說：「你們中間有權勢的人與我一同下去，那人若有甚麼不是，就可以告他。」
5So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”
6非斯都 在他們那裏住了不過十天八天，就下 凱撒利亞 去；第二天坐堂，吩咐將 保羅 提上來。
6After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.
7保羅 來了，那些從 耶路撒冷 下來的 猶太 人周圍站着，將許多重大的事控告他，都是不能證實的。
7When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
8保羅 分訴說：「無論 猶太 人的律法，或是 聖 殿，或是凱撒，我都沒有干犯。」
8Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
9但 非斯都 要討 猶太 人的喜歡，就問 保羅 說：「你願意上 耶路撒冷 去，在那裏聽我審斷這事嗎？」
9But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
10保羅 說：「我站在凱撒的堂前，這就是我應當受審的地方。我向 猶太 人並沒有行過甚麼不義的事，這也是你明明知道的。
10Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.
11我若行了不義的事，犯了甚麼該死的罪，就是死，我也不辭。他們所告我的事若都不實，就沒有人可以把我交給他們。我要上告於凱撒。」
11If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
12非斯都 和議會商量了，就說：「你既上告於凱撒，可以往凱撒那裏去。」
12Then Festus conferred with his council and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
13過了些日子， 亞基帕 王和 百妮基 氏來到 凱撒利亞 ，問 非斯都 安。
13After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
14在那裏住了多日， 非斯都 將 保羅 的事告訴王，說：「這裏有一個人，是 腓力斯 留在監裏的。
14Since they were staying several days, Festus laid out Paul’s case before the king: “There is a certain man whom Felix left in prison.
15我在 耶路撒冷 的時候，祭司長和 猶太 的長老將他的事稟報了我，求我定他的罪。
15While I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews presented their case and requested a judgment against him.
16我對他們說，無論甚麼人，被告還沒有和原告對質，未得機會分訴所告他的事，就先定他的罪，這不是 羅馬 人的條例。
16I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand a man over before he has had an opportunity to face his accusers and defend himself against their charges.
17及至他們都來到這裏，我就不耽延，第二天便坐堂，吩咐把那人提上來。
17So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.
18告他的人站着告他；所告的，並沒有我所逆料的那等惡事。
18But when his accusers rose to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.
19不過是有幾樣辯論，為他們自己敬鬼神的事，又為一個人名叫耶穌，是已經死了， 保羅 卻說他是活着的。
19They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20這些事當怎樣究問，我心裏作難，所以問他說：『你願意上 耶路撒冷 去，在那裏為這些事聽審嗎？』
20Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.
21但 保羅 求我留下他，要聽皇上審斷，我就吩咐把他留下，等我解他到凱撒那裏去。」
21But when Paul appealed to be held over for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered that he be held until I could send him to Caesar.”
22亞基帕 對 非斯都 說：「我自己也願聽這人辯論。」 非斯都 說：「明天你可以聽。」
22Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” “Tomorrow you will hear him,” Festus declared.
23第二天， 亞基帕 和 百妮基 大張威勢而來，同着眾千夫長和城裏的尊貴人進了公廳。 非斯都 吩咐一聲，就有人將 保羅 帶進來。
23The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.
24非斯都 說：「 亞基帕 王和在這裏的諸位啊，你們看這人，就是一切 猶太 人，在 耶路撒冷 和這裏，曾向我懇求、呼叫說：『不可容他再活着。』
24Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
25但我查明他沒有犯甚麼該死的罪，並且他自己上告於皇帝，所以我定意把他解去。
25But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.
26論到這人，我沒有確實的事可以奏明主上。因此，我帶他到你們面前，也特意帶他到你 亞基帕 王面前，為要在查問之後有所陳奏。
26I have nothing definite to write to our sovereign one about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after this inquiry I may have something to write.
27據我看來，解送囚犯，不指明他的罪案是不合理的。」
27For it seems unreasonable to me to send on a prisoner without specifying the charges against him.”
