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，過了三天，就從 凱撒利亞 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祭司長和 猶太 人的首領向他控告 保羅 ，
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，將 保羅 提到 耶路撒冷 來，他們要在路上埋伏殺害他。
4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
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」；
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。」
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。
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。
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。」
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？」
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。
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。」
12Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
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。」
13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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，並沒有我所逆料的那等惡事。
19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
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。
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？』
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。」
22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
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。」
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， 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。
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 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。』
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。
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。
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
27據我看來，解送囚犯，不指明他的罪案是不合理的。」
