¹保罗受审

¹After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

²保罗传来了之后，帖土罗就控诉他说：“腓力斯大人，因着你的缘故，我们大大地享受着太平；因着你的远见，本国大事改革；

²When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation,

³我们随时随地感激不尽。

³we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

⁴现在我不想多烦扰你，只求你宽容一下，听我们讲几句话。

⁴But, that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.

⁵我们看这个人就像瘟疫一样，是煽动普天下犹太人生乱的人，又是拿撒勒派的首领。

⁵For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

⁶他还意图污秽圣殿，我们就把他捉住。

⁶He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. TR adds “We wanted to judge him according to our law,”

⁷（有些抄本在此有以下一段：“我们想按照我们的律法审问他。7可是千夫长吕西亚来了，用武力把他从我们手中抢走，8还吩咐原告到你这里来。”）

⁷ TR adds “but the commanding officer, Lysias, came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,”

⁸你亲自审问之后，就必清楚知道我们告他的一切事了。”

⁸ TR adds “commanding his accusers to come to you.” By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

⁹犹太人也都跟他一同控告保罗，证实事情确是这样。

⁹The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

¹⁰保罗在腓力斯面前申辩总督向保罗示意，叫他说话，他就说：“我知道你在本国审案多年，所以乐意为自己申辩。

¹⁰When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

¹¹你清楚知道，自从我上耶路撒冷去礼拜，到现在还没有十二天；

¹¹seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

¹²无论在殿里、会堂中或城里，他们都没有看见我跟人辩论，或煽动群众作乱，

¹²In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.

¹³也不能向你证明他们现在控告我的事。

¹³Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

¹⁴但有一件事我要向你承认，他们所称为异端的这道，我正是根据这道来敬拜我祖先的　神的。一切律法和先知所记的，我都相信。

¹⁴But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

¹⁵我靠着　神所存的盼望，也是他们自己所期待的，就是义人和不义的人都要复活；

¹⁵having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

¹⁶因此，我常常勉励自己，对　神对人要常存无亏的良心。

¹⁶Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

¹⁷过了几年我带着捐款回来赒济本国，同时也带了祭物，

¹⁷Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

¹⁸他们看见我在殿里的时候，我已经行完了洁净礼，并没有和一大群人在一起，也没有生乱，

¹⁸amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.

¹⁹只有几个从亚西亚来的犹太人而已。他们若有事要控告我，就应该到你面前来控告。

¹⁹They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.

²⁰要不然，当我站在公议会中受审的时候，这些人若发现我有什么罪行，早就亲自说出来了。

²⁰Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,

²¹如果有的话，就是我站在他们中间所喊的：‘我今天在你们面前受审，是为了死人复活的事’那一句话。”

²¹unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”

²²腓力斯本来就详细晓得这道，却故意拖延他们，说：“等千夫长吕西亚来了，再断定你们的事。”

²²But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”

²³于是吩咐百夫长看守保罗，但要宽待他，不可阻止亲友来照料他。

²³He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

²⁴腓力斯听道后害怕起来过了几天，腓力斯和他的犹太妻子土西拉一同来到，他又传见保罗，听听他对基督耶稣的信仰。

²⁴But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁵保罗讲到公义、自制和将来的审判的时候，腓力斯就害怕起来，说：“你先走吧，等我有空的时候再叫你来。”

²⁵As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

²⁶同时他也希望保罗送钱给他，所以又多次传见他，和他谈话。

²⁶Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.

²⁷过了两年，波求．非斯都接了腓力斯的任；腓力斯为要讨好犹太人，就把保罗留在监里。

²⁷But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
