1And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
1保羅 定睛看着公會的人，說：「弟兄們，我在上帝面前行事為人都是憑着良心，直到今日。」
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
2大祭司 亞拿尼亞 就吩咐旁邊站着的人打他的嘴。
3Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
3保羅 對他說：「你這粉飾的牆，上帝要打你！你坐堂為的是按律法審問我，你竟違背律法，吩咐人打我嗎？」
4And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
4站在旁邊的人說：「你辱罵上帝的大祭司嗎？」
5And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
5保羅 說：「弟兄們，我不曉得他是大祭司； 經上 記着說：『不可毀謗你百姓的官長。』」
6And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
6保羅 看出大眾一半是撒都該人，一半是法利賽人，就在公會中大聲說：「弟兄們，我是法利賽人，也是法利賽人的子孫。我現在受審問，是為盼望死人復活。」
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
7說了這話，法利賽人和撒都該人就爭論起來，會眾分為兩黨。
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
8因為撒都該人說，沒有復活，也沒有天使和鬼魂；法利賽人卻說，兩樣都有。
9And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
9於是大大地喧嚷起來。有幾個法利賽黨的文士站起來爭辯說：「我們看不出這人有甚麼惡處，倘若有鬼魂或是天使對他說過話，怎麼樣呢？」
10And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
10那時大起爭吵，千夫長恐怕 保羅 被他們扯碎了，就吩咐兵丁下去，把他從眾人當中搶出來，帶進營樓去。
11And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
11當夜，主站在 保羅 旁邊，說：「放心吧！你怎樣在 耶路撒冷 為我作見證，也必怎樣在 羅馬 為我 作見證。」
12And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
12到了天亮， 猶太 人同謀起誓，說：「若不先殺 保羅 就不吃不喝。」
13And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
13這樣同心起誓的有四十多人。
14Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
14他們來見祭司長和長老，說：「我們已經起了一個大誓，若不先殺 保羅 就不吃甚麼。
15Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
15現在你們和公會要知會千夫長，叫他帶下 保羅 到你們這裏來，假作要詳細察考他的事；我們已經預備好了，不等他來到跟前就殺他。」
16Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
16保羅 的外甥聽見他們設下埋伏，就來到營樓裏告訴 保羅 。
17And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
17保羅 請一個百夫長來，說：「你領這少年人去見千夫長，他有事告訴他。」
18And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
18於是把他領去見千夫長，說：「被囚的 保羅 請我到他那裏，求我領這少年人來見你；他有事告訴你。」
19And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
19千夫長就拉着他的手，走到一旁，私下問他說：「你有甚麼事告訴我呢？」
20And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
20他說：「 猶太 人已經約定，要求你明天帶下 保羅 到公會裏去，假作要詳細查問他的事。
21But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
21你切不要隨從他們；因為他們有四十多人埋伏，已經起誓說，若不先殺 保羅 就不吃不喝。現在預備好了，只等你應允。」
22The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
22於是千夫長打發少年人走，囑咐他說：「不要告訴人你將這事報給我了。」
23Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
23千夫長便叫了兩個百夫長來，說：「預備步兵二百，馬兵七十，長槍手二百，今夜亥初往 凱撒利亞 去；
24And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
24也要預備牲口叫 保羅 騎上，護送到巡撫 腓力斯 那裏去。」
25(For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
25千夫長又寫了文書，
26Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
26大略說：「 克勞第‧呂西亞 ，請巡撫 腓力斯 大人安。
27This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
27這人被 猶太 人拿住，將要殺害，我得知他是 羅馬 人，就帶兵丁下去救他出來。
28And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
28因要知道他們告他的緣故，我就帶他下到他們的公會去，
29Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
29便查知他被告是因他們律法的辯論，並沒有甚麼該死該綁的罪名。
30And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
30後來有人把要害他的計謀告訴我，我就立時解他到你那裏去，又吩咐告他的人在你面前告他。」
31Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
31於是，兵丁照所吩咐他們的，將 保羅 夜裏帶到 安提帕底 。
32And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
32第二天，讓馬兵護送，他們就回營樓去。
33Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
33馬兵來到 凱撒利亞 ，把文書呈給巡撫，便叫 保羅 站在他面前。
34And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
34巡撫看了文書，問 保羅 是哪省的人，既曉得他是 基利家 人，
35I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
35就說：「等告你的人來到，我要細聽你的事」；便吩咐人把他看守在 希律 的衙門裏。
