Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
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 principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
2祭司長和 猶太 人的首領向他控告 保羅 ，
3asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
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。
4However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
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」；
5“Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse 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。」
6When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and 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。
7When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges 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 said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned 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, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
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？」
10But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
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 have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
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, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall 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。」
13Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted 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。
14As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner 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, asking for a sentence 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。
16I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter 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。
17When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
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。
18When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him 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 about their own religion and about one Jesus, who 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。
20Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning 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 kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
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。」
22Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall 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。」
23So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
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。
24Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and 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 as he himself appealed to the emperor, I 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 to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something 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 seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
27據我看來，解送囚犯，不指明他的罪案是不合理的。」
