1Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer.
1亞基帕 對 保羅 說：「准你為自己辯明。」於是 保羅 伸手分訴，說：「
2I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews.
2亞基帕 王啊， 猶太 人所告我的一切事，今日得在你面前分訴，實為萬幸；
3Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
3更可幸的，是你熟悉 猶太 人的規矩和他們的辯論；所以求你耐心聽我。
4And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know:
4我從起初在本國的民中，並在 耶路撒冷 ，自幼為人如何， 猶太 人都知道。
5Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
5他們若肯作見證就曉得，我從起初是按着我們教中最嚴緊的教門作了法利賽人。
6And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment:
6現在我站在這裏受審，是因為指望上帝向我們祖宗所應許的；
7Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
7這應許，我們十二個支派，晝夜切切地事奉 上帝 ，都指望得着。王啊，我被 猶太 人控告，就是因這指望。
8Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
8上帝叫死人復活，你們為甚麼看作不可信的呢？
9And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
9從前我自己以為應當多方攻擊 拿撒勒 人耶穌的名，
10Which also I did at Jerusalem, and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I brought the sentence.
10我在 耶路撒冷 也曾這樣行了。既從祭司長得了權柄，我就把許多聖徒囚在監裏。他們被殺，我也出名定案。
11And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
11在各會堂，我屢次用刑強逼他們說褻瀆的話，又分外惱恨他們，甚至追逼他們，直到外邦的城邑。」
12Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,
12「那時，我領了祭司長的權柄和命令，往 大馬士革 去。
13At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me.
13王啊，我在路上，晌午的時候，看見從天發光，比日頭還亮，四面照着我並與我同行的人。
14And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
14我們都仆倒在地，我就聽見有聲音用希伯來話向我說：『 掃羅 ！ 掃羅 ！為甚麼逼迫我？你用腳踢刺是難的！』
15And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
15我說：『主啊，你是誰？』主說：『我就是你所逼迫的耶穌。
16But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee,
16你起來站着，我特意向你顯現，要派你作執事，作見證，將你所看見的事和我將要指示你的事證明出來。
17Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:
17我也要救你脫離百姓和外邦人的手。
18To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me.
18我差你到他們那裏去，要叫他們的眼睛得開，從黑暗中歸向光明，從撒但權下歸向上帝；又因信我，得蒙赦罪，和一切成聖的人同得基業。』」
19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:
19「 亞基帕 王啊，我故此沒有違背那從天上來的異象；
20But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.
20先在 大馬士革 ，後在 耶路撒冷 和 猶太 全地，以及外邦，勸勉他們應當悔改歸向上帝，行事與悔改的心相稱。
21For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
21因此， 猶太 人在殿裏拿住我，想要殺我。
22But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass:
22然而我蒙上帝的幫助，直到今日還站得住，對着尊貴、卑賤、老幼作見證；所講的並不外乎眾先知和 摩西 所說將來必成的事，
23That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the people, and to the Gentiles.
23就是基督必須受害，並且因從死裏復活，要首先把光明的道傳給百姓和外邦人。」
24As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.
24保羅 這樣分訴， 非斯都 大聲說：「 保羅 ，你癲狂了吧。你的學問太大，反叫你癲狂了！」
25And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.
25保羅 說：「 非斯都 大人，我不是癲狂，我說的乃是真實明白話。
26For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner.
26王也曉得這些事，所以我向王放膽直言，我深信這些事沒有一件向王隱藏的，因都不是在背地裏做的。
27Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.
27亞基帕 王啊，你信先知嗎？我知道你是信的。」
28And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
28亞基帕 對 保羅 說：「你想少微一勸，便叫我作基督徒啊！」
29And Paul said: I would to God, that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me, this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands.
29保羅 說：「無論是少勸是多勸，我向上帝所求的，不但你一個人，就是今天一切聽我的，都要像我一樣，只是不要像我有這些鎖鍊。」
30And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
30於是，王和巡撫並 百妮基 與同坐的人都起來，
31And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.
31退到裏面，彼此談論說：「這人並沒有犯甚麼該死該綁的罪。」
32And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
32亞基帕 又對 非斯都 說：「這人若沒有上告於凱撒，就可以釋放了。」
