Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this 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 smite 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 said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
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, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
4站在旁邊的人說：「你辱罵上帝的大祭司嗎？」
5Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler 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。』」
6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of 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 the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
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 chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of 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 stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: 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 it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had 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 which had made this conspiracy.
13這樣同心起誓的有四十多人。
14And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until 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 ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever 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。」
16And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went 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 。
17Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him , and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain 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。」
18So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him , and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto 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。」
19Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him , What is 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 wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
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 yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they 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。」
22So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
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。」
23And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at 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 them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto 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。」
25And he wrote a letter after this manner:
25千夫長又寫了文書，
26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
26大略說：「 克勞第‧呂西亞 ，請巡撫 腓力斯 大人安。
27This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was 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 when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused 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 perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
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 it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. 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, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and 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 。
32On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
32第二天，讓馬兵護送，他們就回營樓去。
33Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also 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 the governor had read the letter , he asked of what province he was. And when he 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 thine accusers are also 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。
