使徒行傳 26
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
在阿格里帕王面前辯解
26 阿格里帕對保羅說:「你獲准為自己說話。」
於是保羅伸手開始申辯: 2 「阿格里帕王啊,關於猶太人控告我的一切事,今天要在您面前申辯,我認為自己是蒙福的, 3 尤其因為您熟悉猶太人一切的規矩和爭議的問題,所以我請求您耐心聽我說。
4 「事實上,我自幼的為人,從起初在自己的同胞中間,以及在耶路撒冷,所有的猶太人都知道。 5 他們從一開始就已經認識我,如果他們願意就可以見證:我是按著我們宗教中最嚴格的教派,過著法利賽人的生活。 6 現在我站在這裡受審,是因為盼望神已經賜給我們祖先的那應許。 7 為了那應許,我們十二個支派日夜熱切地事奉神,盼望得到它。王[a]啊,我被猶太人控告,就是為了這盼望。 8 你們為什麼判斷神使死人復活的事為不可信的呢? 9 事實上,我自己曾經認為必須多做反對拿撒勒人耶穌之名的事, 10 我在耶路撒冷也是這樣做的。我不但從祭司長們得了權柄把許多聖徒關進監獄,而且當他們被殺的時候,我也投了一票。 11 我在各會堂裡,經常用刑逼他們說褻瀆的話,又越發惱恨他們,甚至到國外的城市去逼迫他們。
保羅見證信主經歷與使命
12 「那時我得到祭司長們的授權和委任往大馬士革去。 13 王啊,約在正午,我在路上的時候,看見一道光,比太陽更明亮,從天上四面照射我和與我同行的人。 14 我們都仆倒在地。我聽見有聲音用希伯來語對我說[b]:『掃羅,掃羅!你為什麼逼迫我?你腳踢刺棒,是狂妄的。』
15 「我問:『主啊,你到底是誰?』
「主[c]說:『我就是你所逼迫的耶穌。 16 你起來,用你的兩腳站好!要知道,我向你顯現是為這樣一個目的[d]:預先指定你做僕人和見證人,就是為你所看見的事,以及我將要顯明給你的事做見證人。 17 我要從以色列[e]子民和外邦人當中把你救出來。[f]我差派你到他們那裡去, 18 為了開啟他們的眼睛,使他們從黑暗歸向光明,從撒旦的權勢下歸向神,使他們因著信我,罪得赦免,並且與那些被分別為聖的人同得繼業。』
19 「故此,阿格里帕王啊,我沒有悖逆那從天上來的異象。 20 我首先在大馬士革,然後在耶路撒冷、猶太全地以及外邦人中,告誡人們要悔改,歸向神,行事與悔改的心相稱。 21 猶太人就是因這緣故,在聖殿裡抓住我,想要殺害我。 22 然而我蒙了從神而來的幫助,直到今天仍能站立得住,不但向卑微的,還向尊貴的做見證。我所講的,不外乎先知們和摩西所說的那些將要成就的事, 23 就是基督要受難,要成為第一個從死人中復活的人,要把光傳給這子民和外邦人。」
聽眾的反應
24 保羅這樣申辯的時候,菲斯特斯大聲說:「保羅,你瘋了!你學問太大,使你癲狂了。」
25 保羅[g]說:「菲斯特斯大人,我沒有瘋。我說的都是真實、合理的話。 26 其實王知道這些事,我才對王放膽直言。我深信這些事沒有一件瞞得過王,因為這不是在角落裡做的。 27 阿格里帕王啊,您相信先知嗎?我知道您是相信的。」
28 阿格里帕對保羅說:「你用幾句話就要說服我成為[h]基督徒嗎?」
29 保羅說:「無論話多話少,我向神祈求的,不僅是您,還有今天所有聽我講話的人都能成為像我這樣的人,只是不要有這些鎖鏈!」
30 於是[i]王和總督,還有百妮基以及與他們坐在一起的人,都站起來了。 31 當離開的時候,彼此談論說:「這個人沒有做任何該死或該被捆鎖的事。」
32 阿格里帕對菲斯特斯說:「這個人如果沒有向凱撒上訴,早就可以釋放了。」

Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
26 Agrippa i-a zis lui Pavel:
– Ţi se dă voie să vorbeşti în apărarea ta!
Atunci Pavel a întins mâna şi a început să se apere astfel:
2 – Rege Agrippa, mă consider fericit că urmează să mă apăr astăzi înaintea ta, cu privire la toate lucrurile de care sunt acuzat de iudei, 3 mai ales pentru că tu eşti cunoscător al tuturor obiceiurilor şi controverselor iudeilor. De aceea, te rog să mă asculţi cu răbdare. 4 Toţi iudeii cunosc felul în care mi-am trăit viaţa încă din tinereţe, viaţă pe care mi-am petrecut-o de la început în mijlocul neamului meu şi în Ierusalim. 5 Dacă vor să mărturisească, ei mă cunosc de mult timp şi ştiu că am trăit ca fariseu, după cea mai strictă partidă a religiei noastre. 6 Iar acum, stau aici ca să fiu judecat din pricina nădejdii în promisiunea pe care a făcut-o Dumnezeu strămoşilor noştri, 7 promisiune pe care cele douăsprezece seminţii ale noastre, slujindu-I lui Dumnezeu cu seriozitate zi şi noapte, speră să o primească. Pentru această nădejde, rege, sunt acuzat eu de către iudei! 8 Ce, vi se pare de necrezut faptul că Dumnezeu învie morţii?! 9 Într-adevăr, eu însumi credeam că trebuie să fac multe lucruri împotriva Numelui lui Isus din Nazaret, 10 şi aşa am şi făcut în Ierusalim: cu autoritatea primită de la conducătorii preoţilor i-am băgat în închisoare pe mulţi sfinţi, iar când erau condamnaţi la moarte îmi dădeam şi eu votul împotriva lor. 11 De asemenea, pedepsindu-i adesea prin toate sinagogile, m-am străduit să-i fac să blasfemieze; şi fiindcă eram deosebit de furios pe ei, i-am persecutat chiar şi în cetăţile străine!
12 Cu acestea în gând, m-am dus în Damasc, având autoritate şi putere deplină de la conducătorii preoţilor. 13 Pe la mijlocul zilei, rege, în timp ce eram pe drum, am văzut strălucind împrejurul meu şi împrejurul celor ce călătoreau împreună cu mine, o lumină din cer, a cărei strălucire o întrecea pe cea a soarelui. 14 Toţi am căzut la pământ, iar eu am auzit un glas care-mi zicea în limba aramaică[a]: „Saul, Saul, de ce Mă persecuţi? Îţi este greu să dai cu piciorul într-un ţepuş![b]“ 15 Eu am întrebat: „Cine eşti, Doamne[c]?“ Domnul mi-a răspuns: „Eu sunt Isus, Cel pe Care tu Îl persecuţi! 16 Dar ridică-te şi stai în picioare! Căci M-am arătat ţie ca să te numesc slujitor şi martor atât al lucrurilor în care M-ai văzut pe Mine, cât şi al lucrurilor în care Mă voi arăta ţie. 17 Te-am scos din mijlocul poporului tău şi din mijlocul neamurilor la care te trimit, 18 ca să le deschizi ochii să se întoarcă de la întuneric la lumină şi de sub autoritatea lui Satan[d] la Dumnezeu şi să primească, prin credinţa în Mine, iertare de păcate şi moştenire alături de cei sfinţiţi.“
19 De aceea, rege Agrippa, n-am fost neascultător faţă de viziunea cerească, 20 ci le-am proclamat mai întâi celor din Damasc, apoi celor din Ierusalim şi din întreaga regiune a Iudeii, iar apoi neamurilor că trebuie să se pocăiască şi să se întoarcă la Dumnezeu făcând fapte vrednice de pocăinţă. 21 Pentru aceste lucruri m-au prins iudeii în Templu şi au încercat să mă omoare! 22 Însă până în ziua de azi am primit ajutor de la Dumnezeu şi stau aici, depunând mărturie atât înaintea celor mici, cât şi înaintea celor mari, fără să spun nimic în afară de ceea ce Profeţii şi Moise[e] au zis că urmează să se întâmple, 23 şi anume că Cristos va trebui să sufere şi, prin faptul că va fi primul înviat dintre cei morţi, va vesti lumină atât poporului Său, cât şi neamurilor.
24 În timp ce Pavel se apăra astfel, Festus a zis cu glas tare:
– Ţi-ai ieşit din minţi, Pavel! Învăţătura ta cea multă te face să dai în nebunie!
25 Însă Pavel i-a răspuns:
– Nu mi-am ieşit din minţi, prea alesule Festus, ci cuvintele pe care le rostesc ţin de adevăr şi de o judecată sănătoasă! 26 Pentru că regele ştie despre aceste lucruri, eu pot să-i vorbesc deschis, întrucât sunt convins că nu i-a scăpat nimic din acestea, deoarece nu s-au întâmplat într-un colţ! 27 Crezi tu în Profeţi, rege Agrippa? Ştiu că tu crezi!
28 Însă Agrippa i-a zis lui Pavel:
– Curând mai vrei tu să mă convingi să mă fac creştin!
29 Pavel i-a răspuns:
– Fie curând, fie târziu, mă rog lui Dumnezeu ca nu numai tu, ci toţi cei ce mă ascultă astăzi să devină aşa cum sunt eu, în afară de lanţurile acestea!
30 Regele, guvernatorul, Berenice şi toţi cei ce şedeau împreună cu ei s-au ridicat 31 şi, în timp ce plecau, îşi spuneau unii altora: „Omul acesta n-a făcut nimic vrednic de moarte sau de lanţuri!“ 32 Agrippa i-a zis lui Festus: „Omul acesta ar fi putut fi eliberat dacă n-ar fi făcut apel la Cezar!“

Acts 26
King James Version
26 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
Acts 26
New King James Version
Paul’s Early Life
26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You are permitted to speak for yourself.”
So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself: 2 “I think myself (A)happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer (B)for myself before you concerning all the things of which I am (C)accused by the Jews, 3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
4 “My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know. 5 They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to (D)the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 6 (E)And now I stand and am judged for the hope of (F)the promise made by God to our fathers. 7 To this promise (G)our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God (H)night and day, (I)hope to attain. For this hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. 8 Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead?
9 (J)“Indeed, I myself thought I must do many things [a]contrary to the name of (K)Jesus of Nazareth. 10 (L)This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority (M)from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. 11 (N)And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Paul Recounts His Conversion(O)
12 (P)“While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 13 at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. 14 And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ 15 So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, (Q)to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. 17 I will [b]deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, (R)to whom I [c]now send you, 18 (S)to open their eyes, in order (T)to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, (U)that they may receive forgiveness of sins and (V)an inheritance among those who are (W)sanctified[d] by faith in Me.’
Paul’s Post-Conversion Life
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20 but (X)declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do (Y)works befitting repentance. 21 For these reasons the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me. 22 Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those (Z)which the prophets and (AA)Moses said would come— 23 (AB)that the Christ would suffer, (AC)that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and (AD)would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”
Agrippa Parries Paul’s Challenge
24 Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, (AE)you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!”
25 But he said, “I am not [e]mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason. 26 For the king, before whom I also speak freely, (AF)knows these things; for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention, since this thing was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe.”
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.”
29 And Paul said, (AG)“I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.”
30 When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them; 31 and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, (AH)“This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains.”
32 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set (AI)free (AJ)if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
