Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cæsarea to Jerusalem.
1非斯都 到了任，過了三天，就從 凱撒利亞 上 耶路撒冷 去。
2Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
2祭司長和 猶太 人的首領向他控告 保羅 ，
3And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
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 should be kept at Cæsarea, and that he himself would depart shortly 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, said he, which among you are able, go down with me , and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
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 when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat 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。
7And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, 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。
8While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cæsar, have I offended any thing at all.
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 do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and 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 said Paul, I stand at Cæsar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, 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 be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar.
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, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cæsar? unto Cæsar 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 certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Cæsarea 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 when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds 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 elders of the Jews informed me , desiring to have judgment 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 manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
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。
17Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
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 none accusation of such things as I supposed:
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 against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, 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。
20And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
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 when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Cæsar.
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。」
22Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, 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 morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, 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 said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying 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。』
25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that 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 no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat 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 withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
27據我看來，解送囚犯，不指明他的罪案是不合理的。」
