使徒行传 25
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
保羅上訴凱撒
25 非斯都到任三天之後,就從該撒利亞去耶路撒冷。 2 祭司長和猶太人的首領,到他面前控告保羅。他們又要求非斯都, 3 求他恩准對付保羅,把保羅解來耶路撒冷,他們好埋伏在路上殺死他。 4 非斯都回答:“保羅現今押在該撒利亞,我就要回到那裡去。” 5 又說:“你們中間有權勢的,和我一同去吧!那人若有甚麼不是,他們就可以告他。”
6 非斯都在他們那裡大約逗留了不過十天八天,就回到該撒利亞去。第二天就開庭,吩咐把保羅帶來。 7 保羅一到,那些從耶路撒冷來的猶太人,就站在他周圍,提出許多嚴重的控告,可是所控告的他們都不能證實。 8 保羅申辯說:“無論對猶太人的律法、聖殿或凱撒,我都沒有罪。” 9 但非斯都為要討好猶太人,就問保羅:“你願意去耶路撒冷,讓我在那裡審問這事嗎?” 10 保羅說:“我現在站在凱撒的審判臺前,這裡是我應當受審的地方。我對猶太人並沒有作過甚麼不對的事,這是你清楚知道的。 11 我若作過不對的事,犯過甚麼該死的罪,就是死我也不推辭。不過,如果這些人告我的事不是真的,誰也不可以把我送給他們。我要向凱撒上訴。” 12 非斯都同議會商量後,答覆說:“你既然要向凱撒上訴,可以到凱撒那裡去。”
亞基帕王要聽保羅的案情
13 過了一些日子,亞基帕王和百尼基到該撒利亞來,問候非斯都。 14 他們在那裡逗留了許多天,非斯都把保羅的案情向王陳明,說:“這裡有一個囚犯,是腓力斯留下來的。 15 我在耶路撒冷的時候,祭司長和猶太人的長老控告他,要求把他定罪。 16 我答覆他們說,被告還沒有和原告當面對證,又沒有機會為所控的罪申辯,就被送給對方,羅馬人沒有這個規例。 17 後來他們都到了這裡,我沒有耽延時間,第二天就開庭,吩咐把那人提出來。 18 原告都站在那裡,他們所控訴他的,並不是我所意料的惡事。 19 他們與他爭辯的,只是他們的宗教問題;還論到一位已經死了的耶穌,保羅卻說他是活著的。 20 關於這些爭論,我不知道怎樣處理,就問他願不願意上耶路撒冷去為這些事在那裡受審。 21 但保羅要求把他留下,等待皇上裁判,我就下令把他押起來,等候解往凱撒那裡。” 22 亞基帕對非斯都說:“我也想聽聽這人說些甚麼。”非斯都說:“明天就請你來聽。”
23 第二天,亞基帕和百尼基威風凜凜地來了,同千夫長和城中的顯要進了廳堂。非斯都吩咐一聲,就有人把保羅提出來。 24 非斯都說:“亞基帕王和在座的各位,請看這個人。耶路撒冷和本地的猶太人都向我請求,嚷著說這個人不該活著。 25 我查明他沒有犯甚麼該死的罪,但是他自己既然要向皇上上訴,我就決定把他解去。 26 關於這個人,我沒有甚麼確實的事可以呈奏主上的。所以把他帶到你們面前,特別是你亞基帕王面前,為要在審查之後,有所陳奏。 27 因為我認為解送囚犯,不指明他的罪狀,是不合理的。”
Acts 25
Young's Literal Translation
25 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
3 asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,
5 `Therefore those able among you -- saith he -- having come down together, if there be anything in this man -- let them accuse him;'
6 and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;
7 and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem -- many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,
8 he making defence -- `Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar -- did I commit any sin.'
9 And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?'
10 and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;
11 for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!'
12 then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, `To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.'
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus,
14 and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, `There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
16 unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against [him].
17 `They, therefore, having come together -- I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought,
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
19 but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;
20 and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things --
21 but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.'
22 And Agrippa said unto Festus, `I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, `To-morrow thou shalt hear him;'
23 on the morrow, therefore -- on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered -- Paul was brought forth.
24 And Festus said, `King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;
25 and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,
26 concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;
27 for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.'
Binuhatan 25
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Midangop si Pablo sa Emperador
25 Karon, miabot ang bag-ong gobernador nga si Festus sa probinsya sa Judea. Paglabay sa tulo ka adlaw miadto siya sa Jerusalem gikan sa Cesarea. 2 Didto gisugilon kaniya sa kadagkoan sa mga pari ug sa mga pangulo sa mga Judio ang ilang sumbong batok kang Pablo. Ug gihangyo nila si Festus nga hatagan sila ug pabor, 3 nga ipadala niya si Pablo didto sa Jerusalem. (Apan ang ilang plano diay nga atangan nila si Pablo sa dalan ug patyon.) 4 Mitubag si Festus, “Didto na lang si Pablo sa prisohan sa Cesarea. Dili ako magdugay dinhi kay mobalik dayon ako didto. 5 Busa paubana ninyo kanako ang inyong mga pangulo ug didto ninyo siya isumbong kon may daotan siya nga nahimo.”
6 Sobra sa usa ka semana nga nagpabilin si Festus didto sa Jerusalem, pagkahuman mibalik siya sa Cesarea. Pagkasunod nga adlaw milingkod siya sa hukmanan ug nagsugo nga pasudlon si Pablo. 7 Sa pagsulod ni Pablo gilibotan dayon siya sa mga Judio nga gikan sa Jerusalem, ug daghan ang gisulti nila nga mga bug-at nga sumbong batok kaniya nga dili gani nila mapamatud-an. 8 Gipanalipdan ni Pablo ang iyang kaugalingon. Miingon siya, “Wala akoy sala nga nahimo batok sa Kasugoan sa mga Judio, sa templo, o sa Emperador ba hinuon sa Roma.” 9 Tungod kay gusto usab ni Festus nga magustohan siya sa mga Judio gipangutana niya si Pablo, “Gusto mo ba nga moadto sa Jerusalem ug didto ko husayon kining imong kaso?” 10 Mitubag si Pablo, “Ania na ako dinhi nagatindog sa korte sa Emperador, ug dinhi mo ako angay nga hukman. Wala akoy nahimo nga sala sa mga Judio, ug nahibaloan mo gayod kini. 11 Kon nakalapas man ako sa kasugoan ug angay akong silotan sa kamatayon, dawaton ko. Apan kon walay kamatuoran ang mga sumbong nila batok kanako, dili ako angay nga itugyan kanila. Busa modangop na lang ako sa Emperador sa Roma!” 12 Nakig-estorya dayon si Festus sa mga miyembro sa iyang korte, ug pagkahuman miingon siya kang Pablo, “Tungod kay modangop ka sa Emperador, ipadala ko ikaw kaniya.”
Gipaatubang si Pablo kang Haring Agripa
13 Human molabay ang pipila ka adlaw, miabot sa Cesarea si Haring Agripa[a] ug ang iyang manghod nga si Bernice tungod kay gusto nilang bisitahan si Festus nga gobernador. 14 Sa nakapuyo na sila didto ug pipila ka adlaw, gisulti ni Festus sa hari ang kaso ni Pablo. Miingon siya, “May priso dinhi nga gibilin sa gobernador kaniadto nga si Felix. 15 Pag-adto ko sa Jerusalem, kini nga tawo gisumbong kanako sa kadagkoan sa mga pari ug sa mga pangulo sa mga Judio. Gihangyo gayod nila kanako nga hukman ko na siya ug silotan. 16 Giingnan ko sila nga dili batasan sa mga Romanhon nga silotan si bisan kinsa nga wala moatubang sa mga nagsumbong kaniya, ug wala pa mahatagi sa kahigayonan nga matubag niya ang mga sumbong batok kaniya. 17 Busa miuban sila kanako pagbalik dinhi sa Cesarea. Wala ako mag-usik ug panahon, sa pagkasunod nga adlaw milingkod ako sa hukmanan ug gipatawag ko kining tawhana. 18 Naghunahuna ako nga may bug-at gayod sila nga sumbong batok kaniya, apan sa nagaatubangay na sila, wala man diay silay ikasumbong nga daotan batok kaniya. 19 Ang mga butang nga gilantugian nila walay lain kondili ang mahitungod lamang sa ilang mga tuo-tuo ug mahitungod sa usa ka tawo nga ginganlan ug Jesus. Patay na kini nga tawo, apan sumala kang Pablo buhi siya. 20 Wala ako mahibalo kon unsay akong himuon niini nga kaso, busa gipangutana ko si Pablo kon gusto niya nga moadto sa Jerusalem ug didto mismo husayon ang kaso. 21 Apan nagaingon si Pablo nga idangop na lang niya ang iyang kaso ngadto sa Emperador aron ang Emperador mismo ang mohukom. Busa gipabantayan ko siya hangtod nga mapadala ko siya sa Emperador.” 22 Miingon si Agripa kang Festus, “Gusto kong paminawon kining tawhana.” Miingon si Festus, “Sige, ugma madunggan mo siya.”
23 Pagkasunod nga adlaw miadto sa korte si Agripa ug si Bernice sa mapagarbohong pag-abot inubanan sa daghang mga opisyal sa mga sundalo ug mga inila nga mga tawo sa siyudad. Unya mimando si Festus nga dad-on sa sulod si Pablo. Sa dihang didto na sa sulod si Pablo, 24 miingon si Festus, “Haring Agripa ug kamong tanan nga ania dinhi karon, ania ang tawo nga gisumbong kanako sa mga Judio dinhi sa Cesarea ug sa Jerusalem. Naninggit pa sila nga kining tawhana angay nga patyon. 25 Apan sumala sa akong pagsusi wala gayod akoy nakitang hinungdan aron hukman siya ug kamatayon. Ug tungod kay siya midangop sa Emperador, mihukom ako nga ipadala siya sa Emperador. 26 Apan wala gayod akoy ikasulat ngadto sa Emperador nga igong hinungdan kon nganong ipadala ko siya didto. Busa gipaatubang ko siya kaninyo ug labi na gayod kanimo haring Agripa, aron nga human nato masusi ang iyang kaso, may ikasulat na ako. 27 Tungod kay dili mahimo nga ipadala ko sa Emperador ang usa ka priso nga walay klaro nga sumbong batok kaniya.”

Acts 25
King James Version
25 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
7 And 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.
8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
9 But 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?
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11 For 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 Caesar.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 And 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:
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
16 To 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.
17 Therefore, 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.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
23 And 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.
24 And 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.
25 But 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.
26 Of 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.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
Acts 25
New International Version
Paul’s Trial Before Festus
25 Three days after arriving in the province, Festus(A) went up from Caesarea(B) to Jerusalem, 2 where the chief priests and the Jewish leaders appeared before him and presented the charges against Paul.(C) 3 They requested Festus, as a favor to them, to have Paul transferred to Jerusalem, for they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.(D) 4 Festus answered, “Paul is being held(E) at Caesarea,(F) and I myself am going there soon. 5 Let some of your leaders come with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can press charges against him there.”
6 After spending eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he convened the court(G) and ordered that Paul be brought before him.(H) 7 When Paul came in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him. They brought many serious charges against him,(I) but they could not prove them.(J)
8 Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple(K) or against Caesar.”
9 Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor,(L) said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”(M)
10 Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews,(N) as you yourself know very well. 11 If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”(O)
12 After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
Festus Consults King Agrippa
13 A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea(P) to pay their respects to Festus. 14 Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul’s case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.(Q) 15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him(R) and asked that he be condemned.
16 “I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand over anyone before they have faced their accusers and have had an opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.(S) 17 When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man to be brought in.(T) 18 When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. 19 Instead, they had some points of dispute(U) with him about their own religion(V) and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive. 20 I was at a loss how to investigate such matters; so I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial there on these charges.(W) 21 But when Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”(X)
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.”
He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”(Y)
Paul Before Agrippa(Z)
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice(AA) came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high-ranking military officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. 24 Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community(AB) has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.(AC) 25 I found he had done nothing deserving of death,(AD) but because he made his appeal to the Emperor(AE) I decided to send him to Rome. 26 But I have nothing definite to write to His Majesty about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that as a result of this investigation I may have something to write. 27 For I think it is unreasonable to send a prisoner on to Rome without specifying the charges against him.”
