World English Bible
1μετα δε πεντε ημερασ κατεβη ο αρχιερευσ ανανιασ μετα των πρεσβυτερων και ρητοροσ τερτυλλου τινοσ οιτινεσ ενεφανισαν τω ηγεμονι κατα του παυλου
1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
2κληθεντοσ δε αυτου ηρξατο κατηγορειν ο τερτυλλοσ λεγων πολλησ ειρηνησ τυγχανοντεσ δια σου και κατορθωματων γινομενων τω εθνει τουτω δια τησ σησ προνοιασ
2When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
3παντη τε και πανταχου αποδεχομεθα κρατιστε φηλιξ μετα πασησ ευχαριστιασ
3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομωσ τη ση επιεικεια
4But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
5ευροντεσ γαρ τον ανδρα τουτον λοιμον και κινουντα στασιν πασιν τοισ ιουδαιοισ τοισ κατα την οικουμενην πρωτοστατην τε τησ των ναζωραιων αιρεσεωσ
5For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6οσ και το ιερον επειρασεν βεβηλωσαι ον και εκρατησαμεν
6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
8παρ ου δυνηση αυτοσ ανακρινασ περι παντων τουτων επιγνωναι ων ημεισ κατηγορουμεν αυτου
8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
9συνεπεθεντο δε και οι ιουδαιοι φασκοντεσ ταυτα ουτωσ εχειν
9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
10απεκριθη δε ο παυλοσ νευσαντοσ αυτω του ηγεμονοσ λεγειν εκ πολλων ετων οντα σε κριτην τω εθνει τουτω επισταμενοσ ευθυμοτερον τα περι εμαυτου απολογουμαι
10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
11δυναμενου σου γνωναι οτι ου πλειουσ εισιν μοι ημεραι δεκαδυο αφ ησ ανεβην προσκυνησων εν ιερουσαλημ
11seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
12και ουτε εν τω ιερω ευρον με προσ τινα διαλεγομενον η επισυστασιν ποιουντα οχλου ουτε εν ταισ συναγωγαισ ουτε κατα την πολιν
12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
13ουτε παραστησαι με δυνανται περι ων νυν κατηγορουσιν μου
13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
14ομολογω δε τουτο σοι οτι κατα την οδον ην λεγουσιν αιρεσιν ουτωσ λατρευω τω πατρωω θεω πιστευων πασιν τοισ κατα τον νομον και τοισ προφηταισ γεγραμμενοισ
14But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
15ελπιδα εχων εισ τον θεον ην και αυτοι ουτοι προσδεχονται αναστασιν μελλειν εσεσθαι νεκρων δικαιων τε και αδικων
15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16εν τουτω δε αυτοσ ασκω απροσκοπον συνειδησιν εχων προσ τον θεον και τουσ ανθρωπουσ δια παντοσ
16In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
17δι ετων δε πλειονων παρεγενομην ελεημοσυνασ ποιησων εισ το εθνοσ μου και προσφορασ
17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
18εν οισ ευρον με ηγνισμενον εν τω ιερω ου μετα οχλου ουδε μετα θορυβου τινεσ απο τησ ασιασ ιουδαιοι
18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
19ουσ δει επι σου παρειναι και κατηγορειν ει τι εχοιεν προσ με
19They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
20η αυτοι ουτοι ειπατωσαν τι ευρον εν εμοι αδικημα σταντοσ μου επι του συνεδριου
20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
21η περι μιασ ταυτησ φωνησ ησ εκραξα εστωσ εν αυτοισ οτι περι αναστασεωσ νεκρων εγω κρινομαι σημερον υφ υμων
21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
22ακουσασ δε ταυτα ο φηλιξ ανεβαλετο αυτουσ ακριβεστερον ειδωσ τα περι τησ οδου ειπων οταν λυσιασ ο χιλιαρχοσ καταβη διαγνωσομαι τα καθ υμασ
22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
23διαταξαμενοσ τε τω εκατονταρχη τηρεισθαι τον παυλον εχειν τε ανεσιν και μηδενα κωλυειν των ιδιων αυτου υπηρετειν η προσερχεσθαι αυτω
23He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
24μετα δε ημερασ τινασ παραγενομενοσ ο φηλιξ συν δρουσιλλη τη γυναικι ουση ιουδαια μετεπεμψατο τον παυλον και ηκουσεν αυτου περι τησ εισ χριστον πιστεωσ
24After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
25διαλεγομενου δε αυτου περι δικαιοσυνησ και εγκρατειασ και του κριματοσ του μελλοντοσ εσεσθαι εμφοβοσ γενομενοσ ο φηλιξ απεκριθη το νυν εχον πορευου καιρον δε μεταλαβων μετακαλεσομαι σε
25As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
26αμα και ελπιζων οτι χρηματα δοθησεται αυτω υπο του παυλου οπωσ λυση αυτον διο και πυκνοτερον αυτον μεταπεμπομενοσ ωμιλει αυτω
26Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
27διετιασ δε πληρωθεισησ ελαβεν διαδοχον ο φηλιξ πορκιον φηστον θελων τε χαριτασ καταθεσθαι τοισ ιουδαιοισ ο φηλιξ κατελιπεν τον παυλον δεδεμενον
27But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
