使徒行传 26
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
保罗在亚基帕王面前申辩(A)
26 亚基帕对保罗说:“准你为自己申辩。”于是保罗伸手辩护说: 2 “亚基帕王啊,犹太人控告我的事,今天我可以在你面前辩护,实在是万幸; 3 特别是你熟悉犹太人的一切规例和争论,所以求你耐心听我申诉: 4 我从幼年到现在,在本国、在耶路撒冷为人怎样,犹太人都知道。 5 如果他们肯作证的话,他们是早就知道,我是按着我们祖宗最严格的教派,过着法利赛人的生活。 6 现在我站着受审,是为了对 神向我们祖先的应许存着盼望。 7 我们十二支派昼夜切切地事奉 神,都是盼望这应许实现。王啊,我被犹太人控告,正是为了这个盼望。 8 神使死人复活,你们为甚么认为是不可信的呢? 9 从前,我也认为应该多方敌对拿撒勒人耶稣的名。 10 后来就在耶路撒冷这样作了。我得到了众祭司长授权,把许多圣徒关在监里,并且他们被杀的时候,我也表示同意。 11 我在各会堂里多次用刑强迫他们说亵渎的话;我非常愤恨他们,甚至追到国外的城巿去迫害他们。
12 “那时候,我得到祭司长的授权和准许,去大马士革。 13 王啊,就在中午的时候,我在路上看见一道光,比太阳更明亮,从天上四面照着我和同行的人。 14 我们都仆倒在地上,我听见有声音用希伯来话对我说:‘扫罗!扫罗!你为甚么迫害我?你要踢刺是难的。’ 15 我说:‘主啊,你是谁?’主说:‘我就是你所迫害的耶稣。 16 你起来,站着,我向你显现,是要指派你为我工作。你要为你所见过的事,和我将要向你显明的事作见证。 17 我要救你脱离这人民和外族人,差遣你到他们那里去, 18 开他们的眼睛,使他们从黑暗中归向光明,从撒但的权下归向 神,使他们的罪恶得到赦免,并且在那些因信我而成圣的人中同得基业。’
19 “亚基帕王啊,因此,我没有违背这从天上来的异象, 20 先向大马士革、耶路撒冷、犹太全地的人宣讲,后向外族人宣讲,叫他们悔改,归向 神,行事与悔改的心相称。 21 犹太人就是为了这缘故在殿里捉住我,想要杀我。 22 然而,我得到 神的帮助,直到今日还是站得稳,向尊卑老幼作见证,我所讲的都是众先知和摩西所论的将来必成的事, 23 就是基督必须受难,并且从死人中首先复活,把光明的信息传报给这人民和外族人。”
保罗说服亚基帕王
24 保罗申诉到这里,非斯都大声说:“保罗!你疯了;你的学问太大,使你疯了!” 25 保罗说:“非斯都大人,我没有疯,我说的都是真实的话,清醒的话。 26 因为王知道这些事,所以我对王坦白直说。我确信这些事没有一件能瞒得过他,因为这不是在背地里作的。 27 亚基帕王啊,你信先知吗?我知道你是信的。” 28 亚基帕对保罗说:“你想用这样短短的时间就可以说服我作基督徒吗!” 29 保罗说:“无论时间短也好,时间长也好,我向 神所求的,不单是你,而且是今天所有的听众,都能像我一样作基督徒,只是不要有这些锁炼。”
30 亚基帕王、总督和百尼基,还有在座的人都站起来, 31 退到一边,彼此谈论,说:“这个人并没有犯过甚么该死该绑的罪。” 32 亚基帕对非斯都说:“这个人若没有向凯撒上诉,早就可以释放了。”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
保羅在亞基帕王面前申辯(A)
26 亞基帕對保羅說:“准你為自己申辯。”於是保羅伸手辯護說: 2 “亞基帕王啊,猶太人控告我的事,今天我可以在你面前辯護,實在是萬幸; 3 特別是你熟悉猶太人的一切規例和爭論,所以求你耐心聽我申訴: 4 我從幼年到現在,在本國、在耶路撒冷為人怎樣,猶太人都知道。 5 如果他們肯作證的話,他們是早就知道,我是按著我們祖宗最嚴格的教派,過著法利賽人的生活。 6 現在我站著受審,是為了對 神向我們祖先的應許存著盼望。 7 我們十二支派晝夜切切地事奉 神,都是盼望這應許實現。王啊,我被猶太人控告,正是為了這個盼望。 8 神使死人復活,你們為甚麼認為是不可信的呢? 9 從前,我也認為應該多方敵對拿撒勒人耶穌的名。 10 後來就在耶路撒冷這樣作了。我得到了眾祭司長授權,把許多聖徒關在監裡,並且他們被殺的時候,我也表示同意。 11 我在各會堂裡多次用刑強迫他們說褻瀆的話;我非常憤恨他們,甚至追到國外的城巿去迫害他們。
12 “那時候,我得到祭司長的授權和准許,去大馬士革。 13 王啊,就在中午的時候,我在路上看見一道光,比太陽更明亮,從天上四面照著我和同行的人。 14 我們都仆倒在地上,我聽見有聲音用希伯來話對我說:‘掃羅!掃羅!你為甚麼迫害我?你要踢刺是難的。’ 15 我說:‘主啊,你是誰?’主說:‘我就是你所迫害的耶穌。 16 你起來,站著,我向你顯現,是要指派你為我工作。你要為你所見過的事,和我將要向你顯明的事作見證。 17 我要救你脫離這人民和外族人,差遣你到他們那裡去, 18 開他們的眼睛,使他們從黑暗中歸向光明,從撒但的權下歸向 神,使他們的罪惡得到赦免,並且在那些因信我而成聖的人中同得基業。’
19 “亞基帕王啊,因此,我沒有違背這從天上來的異象, 20 先向大馬士革、耶路撒冷、猶太全地的人宣講,後向外族人宣講,叫他們悔改,歸向 神,行事與悔改的心相稱。 21 猶太人就是為了這緣故在殿裡捉住我,想要殺我。 22 然而,我得到 神的幫助,直到今日還是站得穩,向尊卑老幼作見證,我所講的都是眾先知和摩西所論的將來必成的事, 23 就是基督必須受難,並且從死人中首先復活,把光明的信息傳報給這人民和外族人。”
保羅說服亞基帕王
24 保羅申訴到這裡,非斯都大聲說:“保羅!你瘋了;你的學問太大,使你瘋了!” 25 保羅說:“非斯都大人,我沒有瘋,我說的都是真實的話,清醒的話。 26 因為王知道這些事,所以我對王坦白直說。我確信這些事沒有一件能瞞得過他,因為這不是在背地裡作的。 27 亞基帕王啊,你信先知嗎?我知道你是信的。” 28 亞基帕對保羅說:“你想用這樣短短的時間就可以說服我作基督徒嗎!” 29 保羅說:“無論時間短也好,時間長也好,我向 神所求的,不單是你,而且是今天所有的聽眾,都能像我一樣作基督徒,只是不要有這些鎖鍊。”
30 亞基帕王、總督和百尼基,還有在座的人都站起來, 31 退到一邊,彼此談論,說:“這個人並沒有犯過甚麼該死該綁的罪。” 32 亞基帕對非斯都說:“這個人若沒有向凱撒上訴,早就可以釋放了。”
Gevurot 26
Orthodox Jewish Bible
26 And Agrippa said to Rav Sha’ul, "It is permitted for you to speak concerning yourself." Then Rav Sha’ul, having stretched out his hand, was making his hitstaddekut (defense), saying,
2 "I have considered myself fortunate that it is before you, Agrippa HaMelech, that I am able to make my hitstaddekut today concerning everything of which I am accused by Yehudim.
3 "Most of all, you are a bukki (expert, meivin) in all the minhagim and issues of the Yehudim; therefore, I beg you to listen patiently to me.
4 "All the Yehudim have da’as of my Yiddishkeit from my earliest youth, a life spent from the beginning among my own people and in Yerushalayim.
5 "They have had da’as of this for a long time, if they are willing to bear edut, that according to the most machmir kat of our Orthodox Jewish faith my life has been lived out as a Parush.
6 "And now I stand here on trial on account of my tikvah in the havtacha made to Avoteinu,
7 "A havtacha Sheneym Asar Shevateinu have tikvah to attain, as they with earnestness worship Hashem yomam valailah. It if for this tikvah, your Excellency, that I am accused by Yehudim!
8 "Why is it considered incredible by any of you that Hashem makes the Mesim to stand up alive?
9 "Indeed, I myself thought it necessary to do many opposing things against ha-Shem of Yehoshua from Natzeret.
10 "And this I also did in Yerushalayim; and armed with samchut received from the Rashei Hakohanim, many of the kadoshim I locked up in the beis hasohar; and I cast my vote keneged (against) them when they received the death penalty.
11 "And throughout all the shuls I often punished them, forcing them to commit Chillul Hashem gidduf (blasphemy), and since I was so enraged against them, I was bringing redifah on them even as far as foreign cities.
12 "This it was, that as I was traveling to Damascus with authorization and permission from the Rashei Hakohanim,
13 "At noon on the derech, O Melech, I saw from Shomayim an ohr, more brilliant than the shemesh, shining around me and around the ones traveling with me.
14 "And we all fell down to the ground. Then I heard a kol saying to me in the language of the Hebrews, ‘Sha’ul, Sha’ul, why are you bringing redifah upon me? It is hard for you to kick keneged (against) the prod.’
15 "And I said, ‘Who are you Adoni?’ And HaAdon said, ‘I am Yehoshua upon whom you are bringing redifah.
16 ‘But get up and stand on your feet. For this tachlis, then, I appeared to you, to give you s’michah as a mesharet, an eved, and an eidus (witness), both of what things you have seen and the things which I will reveal to you. [Ezek 2:1; Dan 10:11]
17 ‘I will deliver you from your own people and from the Goyim to whom I am sending you, [YIRMEYAH 1:8,19]
18 ‘To open their eyes, to turn them from choshech to ohr and from the samchut of Hasatan to Hashem, that they receive selichat avon and nachalah among the ones having been set apart in kedushah by emunah in me.' [YESHAYAH 35:5; TEHILLIM 18:28; YESHAYAH 42:7,16]
19 "O Agrippa HaMelech, I was not disobedient to the chazon from Shomayim. [YESHAYAH 50:5]
20 "But beginning with the ones in Damascus and also with those in Yerushalayim, and with all the region of Yehudah and with the Goyim, I was preaching they should make teshuva and turn to Hashem, doing ma’asim mitzvot worthy of teshuva. [YIRMEYAH 18:11; 35:15]
21 "Because of these things, the unbelieving Yehudim seized me while I was in the Beis Hamikdash, and were trying to kill me.
22 "To this day I have obtained ezer (help) from Hashem, to stand and give solemn edut (testimony) before both ketanim and Gedolim, testifying about nothing beyond the Orthodox Jewish faith based on what the Nevi’im and Moshe Rabbenu said would happen:
23 "That is, the yissurim (sufferings) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and that by being rishon to stand up alive in the Techiyas HaMoshiach, he would proclaim ohr both to K’lal Yisroel and the Nations."
24 And while he was saying these things in his hitstaddekut, Festus in a kol gadol shouts, "Rav Sha’ul, all your yeshiva learning has made you meshuggah!"
25 But Rav Sha’ul says, "I am not meshuggah, most excellent Festus; I am speaking dvarim of Emes and Ta’am (Reason).
26 "For HaMelech has da’as of these matters, to whom also I am speaking freely, for I am sure that absolutely none of these things escape his notice, for this has not been done in a corner.
27 "Agrippa HaMelech, do you believe in the Nevi’im? I have da’as that you do believe."
28 And Agrippa said to Rav Sha’ul, "You think, do you, that as quick as that you can make me mekabel Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach?"
29 But Rav Sha’ul said, "I would daven that Hashem, quickly or not, might make not only you but all listening to me today as I am, apart from these sharsherot (chains)."
30 HaMelech and the Moshel and Bernice and the ones sitting with them got up.
31 And having withdrawn, they were saying to one another, "This man does nothing worthy of the death penalty or imprisonment."
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been released, if he had not appealed to Caesar."
Acts 26
New International Version
26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.”(A)
So Paul motioned with his hand(B) and began his defense: 2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you(C) today as I make my defense against all the accusations of the Jews,(D) 3 and especially so because you are well acquainted with all the Jewish customs(E) and controversies.(F) Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently.
4 “The Jewish people all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child,(G) from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. 5 They have known me for a long time(H) and can testify, if they are willing, that I conformed to the strictest sect(I) of our religion, living as a Pharisee.(J) 6 And now it is because of my hope(K) in what God has promised our ancestors(L) that I am on trial today. 7 This is the promise our twelve tribes(M) are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night.(N) King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.(O) 8 Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?(P)
9 “I too was convinced(Q) that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose(R) the name of Jesus of Nazareth.(S) 10 And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord’s people(T) in prison,(U) and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.(V) 11 Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished,(W) and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.
12 “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice(X) saying to me in Aramaic,[a](Y) ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
15 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16 ‘Now get up and stand on your feet.(Z) I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.(AA) 17 I will rescue you(AB) from your own people and from the Gentiles.(AC) I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyes(AD) and turn them from darkness to light,(AE) and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins(AF) and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’(AG)
19 “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient(AH) to the vision from heaven. 20 First to those in Damascus,(AI) then to those in Jerusalem(AJ) and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles,(AK) I preached that they should repent(AL) and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.(AM) 21 That is why some Jews seized me(AN) in the temple courts and tried to kill me.(AO) 22 But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen(AP)— 23 that the Messiah would suffer(AQ) and, as the first to rise from the dead,(AR) would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”(AS)
24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind,(AT) Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning(AU) is driving you insane.”
25 “I am not insane, most excellent(AV) Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable. 26 The king is familiar with these things,(AW) and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”(AX)
29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”(AY)
30 The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice(AZ) and those sitting with them. 31 After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”(BA)
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free(BB) if he had not appealed to Caesar.”(BC)
