使徒行传 23
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
23 保羅定睛看著公議會的各人,說:“各位弟兄,我在 神面前,行事為人一向都是憑著良心的。” 2 大祭司亞拿尼亞就吩咐站在他旁邊的人打保羅的嘴巴。 3 保羅對他說:“你這粉飾的牆啊, 神要擊打你!你坐堂要按著律法審問我,現在你竟然違背律法吩咐人打我嗎?” 4 站在旁邊的人民說:“你敢辱罵 神的大祭司嗎?” 5 保羅說:“弟兄們,我不知道他是大祭司。經上說:‘不可咒詛你人民的領袖。’”
6 保羅看出其中一部分是撒都該人,另一部分是法利賽人,就在公議會中大聲說:“我是法利賽人,也是法利賽人的子孫,我現在受審,是為了盼望死人復活!” 7 他說了這話,法利賽人和撒都該人就起了爭論,會眾也分裂了,成為兩派。 8 原來撒都該人說沒有復活,沒有天使,也沒有鬼靈,法利賽人卻認定這些都有。 9 於是眾人大嚷大鬧,有幾個法利賽派的經學家站起來辯論說:“我們看不出這個人作過甚麼壞事;說不定有靈或天使對他說過話。” 10 爭論越來越大,千夫長怕保羅被他們撕碎了,就吩咐士兵下去,把他從人群中搶救出來,帶到營樓去。
11 當天晚上,主站在保羅身邊,說:“你要壯起膽來,你怎樣在耶路撒冷作見證,也必照樣在羅馬為我作見證。”
猶太人設計謀害保羅
12 到了天亮,猶太人在一起祕密計謀,並且發誓說,不殺保羅,就不吃不喝。 13 一同策劃這項陰謀的有四十多人。 14 他們來見眾祭司長和長老,說:“我們已經發了誓,不殺保羅,就不吃東西。 15 現在你們和公議會要通知千夫長,帶保羅到你們這裡來,裝作要詳細審查他。我們已經預備好了,不等他走近,就把他殺了。” 16 但保羅的外甥聽見這項埋伏的詭計,就到營樓去,告訴保羅。 17 保羅請了一個百夫長來,說:“請你帶這個青年人去見千夫長,他有事要報告。” 18 百夫長就帶保羅的外甥去見千夫長,說:“囚犯保羅請了我去,求我帶這個青年人來見你,他有事要向你報告。” 19 千夫長拉著他的手,走到一邊,私下問他:“你有甚麼事要向我報告?” 20 他說:“猶太人已經約好了,要求你明天把保羅帶到公議會裡去,裝作要詳細審查他。 21 你不要聽他們,因為他們有四十多人正在埋伏起來等著保羅;他們發了誓,不殺保羅,就不吃不喝。現在他們已經準備好了,只等你答應。” 22 千夫長囑咐那青年人:“不要告訴人你把這事告訴了我。”然後就打發他走了。
保羅被交送腓力斯
23 千夫長叫了兩個百夫長來,說:“預備兩百個步兵,七十個騎兵、兩百個長槍手,晚上九點鐘往該撒利亞去。 24 也要預備好牲口,好讓保羅騎上,護送他安全到達腓力斯總督那裡。” 25 千夫長寫了一封信,大意如下:
26 “革老丟.呂西亞問候總督腓力斯大人。 27 這個人被猶太人捉住,快要遭害的時候,我聽說他是羅馬公民,就帶兵去把他救出來。 28 為要知道猶太人控告他的原因,我就帶他到他們的公議會那裡去。 29 我發現他被控告,是為了他們律法上的問題,並沒有甚麼該死該綁的罪名。 30 後來我接到密報,得知害他的陰謀,就立刻把他送到你那裡去,並且吩咐原告到你面前來控告他。”
31 於是士兵照著吩咐,把保羅提出來,連夜帶到安提帕底。 32 第二天,他們把保羅交給騎兵隊護送,就回營樓去了。 33 騎兵到了該撒利亞,把信呈上總督,同時把保羅也交給他。 34 總督讀了信,就問保羅是哪一省的人;知道了他是基利家人, 35 就說:“等到原告也來了,我才審問你。”於是吩咐人把他拘留在希律的王府裡。
Acts 23
Young's Literal Translation
23 And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, `Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this day;'
2 and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth,
3 then Paul said unto him, `God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou -- thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!'
4 And those who stood by said, `The chief priest of God dost thou revile?'
5 and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;'
6 and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.'
7 And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,
8 for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.
9 And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part having arisen, were striving, saying, `No evil do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God;'
10 and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring [him] to the castle.
11 And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him, said, `Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at Rome to testify.'
12 And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul;
13 and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,
14 who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, `With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves -- to taste nothing till we have killed Paul;
15 now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to death.'
16 And the son of Paul's sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the castle, told Paul,
17 and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, `This young man lead unto the chief captain, for he hath something to tell him.'
18 He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the chief captain, and saith, `The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked [me] this young man to bring unto thee, having something to say to thee.'
19 And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, `What is that which thou hast to tell me?'
20 and he said -- `The Jews agreed to request thee, that to-morrow to the sanhedrim thou mayest bring down Paul, as being about to enquire something more exactly concerning him;
21 thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves -- not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.'
22 The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged [him] to tell no one, `that these things thou didst shew unto me;'
23 and having called near a certain two of the centurions, he said, `Make ready soldiers two hundred, that they may go on unto Caesarea, and horsemen seventy, and spearmen two hundred, from the third hour of the night;
24 beasts also provide, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe unto Felix the governor;'
25 he having written a letter after this description:
26 `Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, hail:
27 This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them -- having come with the soldiery, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman;
28 and, intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim,
29 whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;
30 and a plot having been intimated to me against this man -- about to be of the Jews -- at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.'
31 Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,
32 and on the morrow, having suffered the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the castle;
33 those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, did present also Paul to him.
34 And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia;
35 `I will hear thee -- said he -- when thine accusers also may have come;' he also commanded him to be kept in the praetorium of Herod.
Binuhatan 23
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
23 Gitutokan pag-ayo ni Pablo ang mga miyembro sa Korte ug miingon, “Mga kaigsoonan, kon mahitungod sa akong pagkinabuhi, limpyo ang akong konsensya atubangan sa Dios hangtod karon.” 2 Pagkasulti niadto ni Pablo gisugo sa pangulong pari nga si Ananias ang mga nagatindog duol kang Pablo nga sagpaon nila ang baba ni Pablo. 3 Ug miingon si Pablo kaniya, “Sagpaon ka usab sa Dios, ikaw nga tigpakaaron-ingnon! Nagalingkod ka diha aron hukman ako sumala sa Kasugoan, apan gilapas mo ang Kasugoan sa imong pagsugo nga sagpaon ako!” 4 Miingon ang mga tawo nga nagtindog duol kang Pablo, “Giinsulto mo ang pangulong pari sa Dios!” 5 Mitubag si Pablo, “Mga kaigsoonan, wala ako mahibalo nga siya diay ang pangulong pari, tungod kay nagaingon ang Kasulatan nga dili kita magsulti ug daotan batok sa nagadumala kanato.[a]”
6 Sa dihang nakita ni Pablo nga may mga Saduseo ug mga Pariseo nga mitambong didto, misulti siya sa makusog ngadto sa mga miyembro sa Korte sa mga Judio, “Mga kaigsoonan, ako usa ka Pariseo, ug Pariseo usab ang akong amahan ug ang akong mga katigulangan. Gikiha ako dinhi karon tungod lang kay nagalaom ako nga may pagkabanhaw.”
7 Sa pagsulti niya niini, nasamok ang mga Pariseo ug ang mga Saduseo ug nabahin ang mga mitambong sa tigom. 8 Nahitabo kadto tungod kay sumala sa mga Saduseo walay pagkabanhaw. Wala usab sila motuo nga may mga anghel o mga espiritu. Apan kining tanan gituohan sa mga Pariseo. 9 Busa nagsugod sila pagsininggitay didto. May mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan nga mga Pariseo nga mitindog ug misupak nga nagaingon, “Wala kamiy nakitang daotan nga gihimo niining tawhana. Tingalig may espiritu o anghel nga nakigsulti kaniya!”
10 Misamot ang ilang panaglalis hangtod nga nahadlok ang komander nga kunis-kunison si Pablo. Busa gimandoan niya ang mga sundalo nga manaog ug kuhaon si Pablo gikan sa mga tawo ug dad-on sa kampo.
11 Nianang pagkagabii nagpakita ang Ginoo kang Pablo ug miingon, “Ayaw kahadlok! Ingon nga nagpamatuod ka mahitungod kanako dinhi sa Jerusalem, kinahanglan nga mao usab kana ang imong buhaton didto sa Roma.”
Ang Plano sa Pagpatay kang Pablo
12-13 Sa pagkabuntag niana nagtigom ang kapin sa 40 ka mga Judio ug nagplano sila sa ilang buhaton. Nanumpa sila nga dili gayod sila mokaon ug moinom hangtod dili nila mapatay si Pablo. 14 Unya nangadto sila sa kadagkoan sa mga pari ug sa mga pangulo sa mga Judio ug miingon, “Nanumpa kami nga dili mokaon ug bisan unsa hangtod dili namo mapatay si Pablo. 15 Busa kamo ug ang Korte magpahibalo na sa komander sa mga sundalong Romanhon nga gusto ninyo nga ipadala niya pag-usab si Pablo dinhi kaninyo. Magpakaaron-ingnon kamo nga gusto ninyo siyang imbistigahon pag-ayo. Apan sa dili pa siya makaabot dinhi patyon namo siya.”
16 Apan kini nga plano nadungog sa pag-umangkon nga lalaki ni Pablo, ang anak sa iyang igsoong babaye. Busa miadto siya sa kampo ug gisultihan niya si Pablo. 17 Unya gitawag ni Pablo ang usa sa mga opisyal didto ug giingnan, “Dad-a ninyo kining batan-on ngadto sa komander, kay may isulti siya kaniya.” 18 Busa gidala sa kapitan ang batan-on ngadto sa komander. Sa pag-abot nila didto miingon ang kapitan, “Gitawag ako sa priso nga si Pablo, ug mihangyo siya nga dad-on ko dinhi kanimo kining batan-on, kay may isulti kuno siya kanimo.” 19 Gikuptan sa komander ang kamot sa batan-on ug gidala niya sa lugar nga dili sila madunggan sa uban. Dayon gipangutana niya kini, “Unsa bay imong isulti kanako.” 20 Miingon ang batan-on, “Nagkasabot ang mga Judio nga hangyoon ka nila nga dad-on sa korte si Pablo ugma, kay imbistigahon kuno nila pag-ayo. 21 Apan ayawg tuo kanila, kay kapin sa 40 ka mga tawo ang magpaabot ug mag-atang kaniya sa dalan. Nanumpa sila nga dili mokaon ug moinom hangtod nga dili nila mapatay si Pablo. Andam na sila ug nagahulat na lang sa imong pagtugot.” 22 Miingon ang komander kaniya, “Ayaw gayod pagpanugilon kang bisan kinsa nga gisultihan mo ako niini.” Ug gipapauli dayon niya ang batan-on.
Gihatod si Pablo kang Gobernador Felix
23 Gipatawag dayon sa komander ang duha sa iyang mga kapitan ug gisultihan sila, “Pag-andam kamo ug 200 ka mga sundalo kay ipadala ko kamo sa lungsod sa Cesarea. Pagdala usab kamo ug 70 ka mga tigkabayo ug laing 200 ka mga sundalo nga tigbangkaw. Ug lakaw kamo karong mga alas nuwebe sa gabii. 24 Pag-andam usab ug mga kabayo nga kasakyan ni Pablo. Bantayi ninyo siya pag-ayo aron walay mahitabo kaniya hangtod nga makaabot siya kang Gobernador Felix.” 25 Ug nagsulat usab ang komander ngadto sa Gobernador nga nagaingon:
26 “Talahuron nga Gobernador Felix, ako si Claudio Lisias nga nangumusta kanimo. 27 Kining tawhana nga akong gipadala kanimo gidakop sa mga Judio ug patyon na unta nila. Apan sa pagkahibalo ko nga siya Romanhon, nagdala ako ug mga sundalo aron luwason siya. 28 Gusto ko untang mahibaloan kon unsa ang ilang sumbong batok niining tawhana, busa gidala ko siya sa ilang Korte. 29 Sumala sa akong mga pakisusi, wala gayod siyay nahimo nga daotan aron patyon o prisohon. Ang sumbong batok kaniya mahitungod lamang gayod sa ilang kaugalingon nga kasugoan. 30 Busa sa pagkahibalo ko nga kini siya giplanohan na sa mga Judio nga patyon, nakahunahuna ako nga mas maayo pa nga ipadala ko siya diha kanimo. Ug gisultihan ko na ang mga nagreklamo batok kaniya nga ipadangat nila kanimo ang ilang mga sumbong.”
31 Gituman sa mga sundalo ang gimando kanila. Ug niadtong gabhiona gikuha nila si Pablo ug gidala sa Antipatris. 32 Nianang pagkabuntag, ang mga sundalo nga naglakaw mao lamang ang mibalik sa kampo, ug ang mga nagsakay sa kabayo mao ray miuban kang Pablo. 33 Sa pag-abot nila didto sa Cesarea, gihatag nila ang sulat ngadto sa Gobernador ug ilang gitugyan si Pablo kaniya. 34 Pagkabasa niya sa sulat, gipangutana niya si Pablo kon taga-asa siya nga probinsya. Sa pagkahibalo niya nga taga-Cilicia si Pablo, 35 miingon siya, “Husayon ko ang imong kaso kon moabot na ang mga nagsumbong batok kanimo.” Ug gipabantayan niya si Pablo didto sa palasyong gipahimo kaniadto ni Herodes.

Acts 23
New International Version
23 Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin(A) and said, “My brothers,(B) I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience(C) to this day.” 2 At this the high priest Ananias(D) ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.(E) 3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall!(F) You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!”(G)
4 Those who were standing near Paul said, “How dare you insult God’s high priest!”
5 Paul replied, “Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’[a]”(H)
6 Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees(I) and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers,(J) I am a Pharisee,(K) descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.”(L) 7 When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8 (The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection,(M) and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)
9 There was a great uproar, and some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees(N) stood up and argued vigorously. “We find nothing wrong with this man,”(O) they said. “What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”(P) 10 The dispute became so violent that the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them. He ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force and bring him into the barracks.(Q)
11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage!(R) As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”(S)
The Plot to Kill Paul
12 The next morning some Jews formed a conspiracy(T) and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.(U) 13 More than forty men were involved in this plot. 14 They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.(V) 15 Now then, you and the Sanhedrin(W) petition the commander to bring him before you on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”
16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard of this plot, he went into the barracks(X) and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.” 18 So he took him to the commander.
The centurion said, “Paul, the prisoner,(Y) sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
19 The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside and asked, “What is it you want to tell me?”
20 He said: “Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul before the Sanhedrin(Z) tomorrow on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about him.(AA) 21 Don’t give in to them, because more than forty(AB) of them are waiting in ambush for him. They have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him.(AC) They are ready now, waiting for your consent to their request.”
22 The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don’t tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
Paul Transferred to Caesarea
23 Then he called two of his centurions and ordered them, “Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen[b] to go to Caesarea(AD) at nine tonight.(AE) 24 Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”(AF)
25 He wrote a letter as follows:
26 Claudius Lysias,
To His Excellency,(AG) Governor Felix:
Greetings.(AH)
27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him,(AI) but I came with my troops and rescued him,(AJ) for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.(AK) 28 I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin.(AL) 29 I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law,(AM) but there was no charge against him(AN) that deserved death or imprisonment. 30 When I was informed(AO) of a plot(AP) to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers(AQ) to present to you their case against him.
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul with them during the night and brought him as far as Antipatris. 32 The next day they let the cavalry(AR) go on with him, while they returned to the barracks.(AS) 33 When the cavalry(AT) arrived in Caesarea,(AU) they delivered the letter to the governor(AV) and handed Paul over to him. 34 The governor read the letter and asked what province he was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,(AW) 35 he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers(AX) get here.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard(AY) in Herod’s palace.
