Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
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。」
2The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike 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 Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck 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？」
4Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
4站在旁邊的人說：「你辱罵上帝的大祭司嗎？」
5Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your 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 brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
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。」
7When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd 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, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
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。
9A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s 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？」
10When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.
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。
11The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify 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。」
12When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until 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。」
13There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
13這樣同心起誓的有四十多人。
14They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until we have killed 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, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
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。」
16But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks 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 。
17Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something 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 commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
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。」
19The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have 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？」
20He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
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。
21Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
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 commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed 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。」
23He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, 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；
24He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to 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。」
25He wrote a letter like this:
25千夫長又寫了文書，
26“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
26大略說：「 克勞第‧呂西亞 ，請巡撫 腓力斯 大人安。
27“This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned 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。
28Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to 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，
29I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
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。
30When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. 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。」
31So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, 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 。
32But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
32第二天，讓馬兵護送，他們就回營樓去。
33When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to 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。
34When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
34巡撫看了文書，問 保羅 是哪省的人，既曉得他是 基利家 人，
35“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
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。
