1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
1非斯都 到了任,过了三天,就从 凯撒利亚 上 耶路撒冷 去。
2And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
2祭司长和 犹太 人的首领向他控告 保罗 ,
3Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
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。
4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
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」;
5Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
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。」
6And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
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。
7Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
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。
8Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
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。」
9But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
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?」
10Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
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。
11For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
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。」
12Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
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。」
13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
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。
14And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
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。
15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
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。
16To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
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。
17When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
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。
18Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
18告他的人站着告他;所告的,并没有我所逆料的那等恶事。
19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
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。
20I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
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?』
21But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
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。」
22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
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。」
23And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
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。
24And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
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。』
25Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
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。
26Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
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。
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
27据我看来,解送囚犯,不指明他的罪案是不合理的。」
