第23章

1 保羅注目[earnestly]看著公會的人,說:「諸位弟兄[Men and brethren],我在神面前行事為人都是憑著良心,直到今日。」

2 大祭司亞拿尼亞就吩咐旁邊站著的人打他的嘴。

3 保羅對他說:「你這粉飾的牆,神要打你。你坐堂為的是按律法審問我,你竟違背律法,吩咐人打我嗎?」

4 站在旁邊的人說:「你辱罵神的大祭司嗎?」

5 保羅說:「弟兄們,我不曉得他是大祭司;經上記著說:『你不可[Thou shalt not]毀謗你百姓的官長。』」

6 保羅看出大眾一半是撒都該人,一半是法利賽人,就在公會中大聲說:「諸位弟兄[Men and brethren],我是法利賽人,也是法利賽人的子孫。我現在受審問,是為盼望死人復活。」

7 說了這話,法利賽人和撒都該人就爭論起來,會眾分為兩黨。

8 因為撒都該人說,沒有復活,也沒有天使和[spirit];法利賽人卻說,兩樣都有。

9 於是大大的喧嚷起來,有幾個法利賽黨的文士站起來,爭辯說:「我們看不出這人有甚麼惡處,倘若有[spirit],或是天使,對他說過話,怎麼樣呢?我們不要攻擊神了[let us not fight against God]。」

10 那時大起爭吵,軍長[chief captain]恐怕保羅被他們扯碎了,就吩咐兵丁下去,把他從眾人當中搶出來,帶進營樓去。

11 當夜,主站在保羅旁邊,說:「放心吧。你怎樣在耶路撒冷為我作見證,也必怎樣在羅馬為我作見證。」

12 到了天亮,幾個[certain of]猶太人同謀發咒[curse]起誓,說他們[they]若不先殺保羅就不吃不喝。

13 這樣同心密謀[made this conspiracy]的有四十多人。

14 他們來見祭司長和長老,說:「我們已經發咒[curse]起了一個大誓,若不先殺保羅就不吃甚麼。

15 因此[therefore],現在你們和公會要知會軍長[chief captain],叫他明天[to morrow]帶下保羅到你們這裏來,假作要詳細察考他的事;我們已經預備好了,不等他來到跟前就殺他。」

16 保羅的外甥聽見他們設下埋伏,就來到營樓裏告訴保羅。

17 保羅請一個百夫長來,說:「你領這少年人去見軍長[chief captain],他有事告訴他。」

18 於是把他領去見軍長[chief captain],說:「被囚的保羅請我到他那裏,求我領這少年人來見你;他有事告訴你。」

19 軍長[chief captain]就拉著他的手,走到一旁,私下問他說:「你有甚麼事告訴我呢?」

20 他說:「猶太人已經約定,要求你明天帶下保羅到公會裏去,假作要詳細查問他的事。

21 你切不要隨從他們;因為他們有四十多人埋伏,已經起誓說:『若不先殺保羅就不吃不喝。現在預備好了,只等你應允。』」

22 於是軍長[chief captain]打發少年人走,囑咐他說:「不要告訴人你將這些事[these things]報給我了。」

23 [he]便叫了兩個百夫長來,說:「預備步兵二百,馬兵七十,長槍手二百,今夜亥初往凱撒利亞去;

24 也要預備牲口叫保羅騎上,護送到巡撫腓力斯那裏去。」

25 [he]又寫了文書,大略說:[after this manner:]

26 克勞第呂西亞[Claudius Lysias],請巡撫腓力斯大人安。

27 這人被猶太人拿住,將要殺害,我得知他是羅馬人,就帶兵丁下去救他出來。

28 因要知道他們告他的緣故,我就帶他下到他們的公會去,

29 便查知他被告是因他們律法的辯論,並沒有甚麼該死該綁的罪名。

30 後來有人把猶太人怎樣埋伏那人[how that the Jews laid wait for the man]的計謀告訴我,我就立時解他到你那裏去,又吩咐告他的人在你面前告他。再見[Farewell]。」

31 於是,兵丁照所吩咐他們的,將保羅夜裏帶到安提帕底。

32 第二天,讓馬兵護送,他們就回營樓去。

33 馬兵來到凱撒利亞,把文書呈給巡撫,便叫保羅站在他面前。

34 巡撫看了文書,問保羅是那省的人,既曉得他是基利家人,

35 就說:「等告你的人來到,我要細聽你的事。」便吩咐人把他看守在希律的審判廳[judgment hall]裏。

Acts

Chapter 23

1 And Paul,3972 earnestly816 beholding816 the council,4892 said,2036 Men435 and brothers,80 I have lived4176 in all3956 good18 conscience4893 before God2316 until891 this5026 day.2250

2 And the high749 priest749 Ananias367 commanded2004 them that stood3936 by him to smite5180 him on the mouth.4750

3 Then5119 said2036 Paul3972 to him, God2316 shall smite5180 you, you white washed2867 wall:5109 for sit2521 you to judge2919 me after2596 the law,3551 and command2753 me to be smitten5180 contrary3891 to the law?3891

4 And they that stood3936 by said,2036 Revile3058 you God's2316 high749 priest?749

5 Then5037 said5346 Paul,3972 I knew1492 not, brothers,80 that he was the high749 priest:749 for it is written,1125 You shall not speak2046 evil2560 of the ruler758 of your people.2992

6 But when Paul3972 perceived1097 that the one1520 part3313 were Sadducees,4523 and the other2087 Pharisees,5330 he cried2896 out in the council,4892 Men435 and brothers,80 I am1510 a Pharisee,5330 the son5207 of a Pharisee:5330 of the hope1680 and resurrection386 of the dead3498 I am called2919 in question.2919

7 And when he had so5124 said,2980 there arose1096 a dissension4714 between the Pharisees5330 and the Sadducees:4523 and the multitude4128 was divided.4977

8 For the Sadducees4523 say3004 that there is no3361 resurrection,386 neither3366 angel,32 nor3383 spirit:4151 but the Pharisees5330 confess3670 both.297

9 And there arose1096 a great3173 cry:2906 and the scribes1122 that were of the Pharisees'5330 part3313 arose,450 and strove,1264 saying,3004 We find2147 no3762 evil2556 in this5129 man:444 but if1487 a spirit4151 or2228 an angel32 has spoken2980 to him, let us not fight2313 against God.2313

10 And when there arose1096 a great4183 dissension,4714 the chief5506 captain,5506 fearing2125 lest3361 Paul3972 should have been pulled1288 in pieces1288 of them, commanded2753 the soldiers4753 to go2597 down,2597 and to take726 him by force726 from among3319 them, and to bring71 him into1519 the castle.3925

11 And the night3571 following the Lord2962 stood2186 by him, and said,2036 Be of good cheer,2293 Paul:3972 for as you have testified1263 of me in Jerusalem,2419 so3779 must1163 you bear3140 witness3140 also2532 at1519 Rome.4516

12 And when it was day,2250 certain5100 of the Jews2453 banded4160 4963 together,4963 and bound332 themselves1438 under332 a curse,332 saying3004 that they would neither3383 eat5315 nor drink4095 till2193 they had killed615 Paul.3972

13 And they were more4119 than forty5062 which3588 had made4160 this5026 conspiracy.4945

14 And they came4334 to the chief749 priests749 and elders,4245 and said,2036 We have bound332 ourselves1438 under332 a great curse,332 that we will eat1089 nothing3367 until2193 we have slain615 Paul.3972

15 Now3568 therefore3767 you with the council4892 signify1718 to the chief5506 captain5506 that he bring2609 him down2609 to you to morrow,839 as though you would3195 inquire1231 something more197 perfectly197 concerning4012 him: and we, or4253 ever4253 he come1448 near,1448 are ready2092 to kill337 him.

16 And when Paul's3972 sister's79 son5207 heard191 of their lying in wait,1747 he went3854 and entered1525 into1519 the castle,3925 and told518 Paul.3972

17 Then1161 Paul3972 called4341 one1520 of the centurions1543 to him, and said,5346 Bring520 this5126 young3494 man3494 to the chief5506 captain:5506 for he has2192 a certain5100 thing to tell518 him.

18 So3767 he took3880 him, and brought71 him to the chief5506 captain,5506 and said,5346 Paul3972 the prisoner1198 called4341 me to him, and prayed2065 me to bring71 this5126 young3494 man3494 to you, who has2192 something5100 to say2980 to you.

19 Then1161 the chief5506 captain5506 took1949 him by the hand,5495 and went402 with him aside402 privately,2596 2398 and asked2065 him, What5101 is that you have2192 to tell518 me?

20 And he said,2036 The Jews2453 have agreed4934 to desire2065 you that you would bring2609 down2609 Paul3972 to morrow839 into1519 the council,4892 as though they would3195 inquire4441 somewhat5100 of him more197 perfectly.197

21 But do not you yield3982 to them: for there lie in wait1748 for him of them more4119 than forty5062 men,435 which3748 have bound332 themselves1438 with an oath,332 that they will neither3383 eat5315 nor drink4095 till2193 they have killed337 him: and now3568 are they ready,2092 looking4327 for a promise1860 from you.

22 So3767 the chief5506 captain5506 then let630 the young3494 man3494 depart,630 and charged3853 him, See you tell1583 no3367 man3367 that you have showed1718 these5023 things to me.

23 And he called4341 to him two1417 centurions,1543 saying,2036 Make2090 ready2090 two1250 hundred1250 soldiers4757 to go4198 to Caesarea,2542 and horsemen2460 three score1440 and ten, and spearmen1187 two1250 hundred,1250 at575 the third5154 hour5610 of the night;3571

24 And provide3936 them beasts,2934 that they may set1913 Paul3972 on,1913 and bring1295 him safe1295 to Felix5344 the governor.2232

25 And he wrote1125 a letter1992 after4023 this5126 manner:5179

26 Claudius2804 Lysias3079 to the most2903 excellent2903 governor2232 Felix5344 sends greeting.5463

27 This5126 man435 was taken4815 of the Jews,2453 and should3195 have been killed615 of them: then came2186 I with an army,4753 and rescued1807 him, having understood3129 that he was a Roman.4514

28 And when I would have known1097 the cause156 why1223 3739 they accused1458 him, I brought2609 him forth2609 into1519 their council:4892

29 Whom3739 I perceived2147 to be accused1458 of questions2213 of their law,3551 but to have2192 nothing3367 laid1462 to his charge1462 worthy514 of death336 or2228 of bonds.1199

30 And when it was told3377 me how that the Jews2453 laid2071 wait1917 for the man,435 I sent3992 straightway1824 to you, and gave commandment3853 to his accusers2725 also2532 to say3004 before1909 you what3588 they had against4314 him. Farewell.4517

31 Then3767 the soldiers,4757 as it was commanded1299 them, took353 Paul,3972 and brought71 him by night3571 to Antipatris.494

32 On the morrow1887 they left1439 the horsemen2460 to go4198 with him, and returned5290 to the castle:3925

33 Who,3748 when they came1525 to Caesarea 2542and delivered325 the letter1992 to the governor,2232 presented3936 Paul3972 also2532 before him.

34 And when the governor2232 had read314 the letter, he asked1905 of what4169 province1885 he was. And when he understood4441 that he was of Cilicia;2791

35 I will hear1251 you, said5346 he, when3752 your4675 accusers2725 are also2532 come.3854 And he commanded2753 him to be kept5442 in Herod's2264 judgment4232 hall.4232

1 保羅注目[earnestly]看著公會的人,說:「諸位弟兄[Men and brethren],我在神面前行事為人都是憑著良心,直到今日。」

1 And Paul,3972 earnestly816 beholding816 the council,4892 said,2036 Men435 and brothers,80 I have lived4176 in all3956 good18 conscience4893 before God2316 until891 this5026 day.2250

2 大祭司亞拿尼亞就吩咐旁邊站著的人打他的嘴。

2 And the high749 priest749 Ananias367 commanded2004 them that stood3936 by him to smite5180 him on the mouth.4750

3 保羅對他說:「你這粉飾的牆,神要打你。你坐堂為的是按律法審問我,你竟違背律法,吩咐人打我嗎?」

3 Then5119 said2036 Paul3972 to him, God2316 shall smite5180 you, you white washed2867 wall:5109 for sit2521 you to judge2919 me after2596 the law,3551 and command2753 me to be smitten5180 contrary3891 to the law?3891

4 站在旁邊的人說:「你辱罵神的大祭司嗎?」

4 And they that stood3936 by said,2036 Revile3058 you God's2316 high749 priest?749

5 保羅說:「弟兄們,我不曉得他是大祭司;經上記著說:『你不可[Thou shalt not]毀謗你百姓的官長。』」

5 Then5037 said5346 Paul,3972 I knew1492 not, brothers,80 that he was the high749 priest:749 for it is written,1125 You shall not speak2046 evil2560 of the ruler758 of your people.2992

6 保羅看出大眾一半是撒都該人,一半是法利賽人,就在公會中大聲說:「諸位弟兄[Men and brethren],我是法利賽人,也是法利賽人的子孫。我現在受審問,是為盼望死人復活。」

6 But when Paul3972 perceived1097 that the one1520 part3313 were Sadducees,4523 and the other2087 Pharisees,5330 he cried2896 out in the council,4892 Men435 and brothers,80 I am1510 a Pharisee,5330 the son5207 of a Pharisee:5330 of the hope1680 and resurrection386 of the dead3498 I am called2919 in question.2919

7 說了這話,法利賽人和撒都該人就爭論起來,會眾分為兩黨。

7 And when he had so5124 said,2980 there arose1096 a dissension4714 between the Pharisees5330 and the Sadducees:4523 and the multitude4128 was divided.4977

8 因為撒都該人說,沒有復活,也沒有天使和[spirit];法利賽人卻說,兩樣都有。

8 For the Sadducees4523 say3004 that there is no3361 resurrection,386 neither3366 angel,32 nor3383 spirit:4151 but the Pharisees5330 confess3670 both.297

9 於是大大的喧嚷起來,有幾個法利賽黨的文士站起來,爭辯說:「我們看不出這人有甚麼惡處,倘若有[spirit],或是天使,對他說過話,怎麼樣呢?我們不要攻擊神了[let us not fight against God]。」

9 And there arose1096 a great3173 cry:2906 and the scribes1122 that were of the Pharisees'5330 part3313 arose,450 and strove,1264 saying,3004 We find2147 no3762 evil2556 in this5129 man:444 but if1487 a spirit4151 or2228 an angel32 has spoken2980 to him, let us not fight2313 against God.2313

10 那時大起爭吵,軍長[chief captain]恐怕保羅被他們扯碎了,就吩咐兵丁下去,把他從眾人當中搶出來,帶進營樓去。

10 And when there arose1096 a great4183 dissension,4714 the chief5506 captain,5506 fearing2125 lest3361 Paul3972 should have been pulled1288 in pieces1288 of them, commanded2753 the soldiers4753 to go2597 down,2597 and to take726 him by force726 from among3319 them, and to bring71 him into1519 the castle.3925

11 當夜,主站在保羅旁邊,說:「放心吧。你怎樣在耶路撒冷為我作見證,也必怎樣在羅馬為我作見證。」

11 And the night3571 following the Lord2962 stood2186 by him, and said,2036 Be of good cheer,2293 Paul:3972 for as you have testified1263 of me in Jerusalem,2419 so3779 must1163 you bear3140 witness3140 also2532 at1519 Rome.4516

12 到了天亮,幾個[certain of]猶太人同謀發咒[curse]起誓,說他們[they]若不先殺保羅就不吃不喝。

12 And when it was day,2250 certain5100 of the Jews2453 banded4160 4963 together,4963 and bound332 themselves1438 under332 a curse,332 saying3004 that they would neither3383 eat5315 nor drink4095 till2193 they had killed615 Paul.3972

13 這樣同心密謀[made this conspiracy]的有四十多人。

13 And they were more4119 than forty5062 which3588 had made4160 this5026 conspiracy.4945

14 他們來見祭司長和長老,說:「我們已經發咒[curse]起了一個大誓,若不先殺保羅就不吃甚麼。

14 And they came4334 to the chief749 priests749 and elders,4245 and said,2036 We have bound332 ourselves1438 under332 a great curse,332 that we will eat1089 nothing3367 until2193 we have slain615 Paul.3972

15 因此[therefore],現在你們和公會要知會軍長[chief captain],叫他明天[to morrow]帶下保羅到你們這裏來,假作要詳細察考他的事;我們已經預備好了,不等他來到跟前就殺他。」

15 Now3568 therefore3767 you with the council4892 signify1718 to the chief5506 captain5506 that he bring2609 him down2609 to you to morrow,839 as though you would3195 inquire1231 something more197 perfectly197 concerning4012 him: and we, or4253 ever4253 he come1448 near,1448 are ready2092 to kill337 him.

16 保羅的外甥聽見他們設下埋伏,就來到營樓裏告訴保羅。

16 And when Paul's3972 sister's79 son5207 heard191 of their lying in wait,1747 he went3854 and entered1525 into1519 the castle,3925 and told518 Paul.3972

17 保羅請一個百夫長來,說:「你領這少年人去見軍長[chief captain],他有事告訴他。」

17 Then1161 Paul3972 called4341 one1520 of the centurions1543 to him, and said,5346 Bring520 this5126 young3494 man3494 to the chief5506 captain:5506 for he has2192 a certain5100 thing to tell518 him.

18 於是把他領去見軍長[chief captain],說:「被囚的保羅請我到他那裏,求我領這少年人來見你;他有事告訴你。」

18 So3767 he took3880 him, and brought71 him to the chief5506 captain,5506 and said,5346 Paul3972 the prisoner1198 called4341 me to him, and prayed2065 me to bring71 this5126 young3494 man3494 to you, who has2192 something5100 to say2980 to you.

19 軍長[chief captain]就拉著他的手,走到一旁,私下問他說:「你有甚麼事告訴我呢?」

19 Then1161 the chief5506 captain5506 took1949 him by the hand,5495 and went402 with him aside402 privately,2596 2398 and asked2065 him, What5101 is that you have2192 to tell518 me?

20 他說:「猶太人已經約定,要求你明天帶下保羅到公會裏去,假作要詳細查問他的事。

20 And he said,2036 The Jews2453 have agreed4934 to desire2065 you that you would bring2609 down2609 Paul3972 to morrow839 into1519 the council,4892 as though they would3195 inquire4441 somewhat5100 of him more197 perfectly.197

21 你切不要隨從他們;因為他們有四十多人埋伏,已經起誓說:『若不先殺保羅就不吃不喝。現在預備好了,只等你應允。』」

21 But do not you yield3982 to them: for there lie in wait1748 for him of them more4119 than forty5062 men,435 which3748 have bound332 themselves1438 with an oath,332 that they will neither3383 eat5315 nor drink4095 till2193 they have killed337 him: and now3568 are they ready,2092 looking4327 for a promise1860 from you.

22 於是軍長[chief captain]打發少年人走,囑咐他說:「不要告訴人你將這些事[these things]報給我了。」

22 So3767 the chief5506 captain5506 then let630 the young3494 man3494 depart,630 and charged3853 him, See you tell1583 no3367 man3367 that you have showed1718 these5023 things to me.

23 [he]便叫了兩個百夫長來,說:「預備步兵二百,馬兵七十,長槍手二百,今夜亥初往凱撒利亞去;

23 And he called4341 to him two1417 centurions,1543 saying,2036 Make2090 ready2090 two1250 hundred1250 soldiers4757 to go4198 to Caesarea,2542 and horsemen2460 three score1440 and ten, and spearmen1187 two1250 hundred,1250 at575 the third5154 hour5610 of the night;3571

24 也要預備牲口叫保羅騎上,護送到巡撫腓力斯那裏去。」

24 And provide3936 them beasts,2934 that they may set1913 Paul3972 on,1913 and bring1295 him safe1295 to Felix5344 the governor.2232

25 [he]又寫了文書,大略說:[after this manner:]

25 And he wrote1125 a letter1992 after4023 this5126 manner:5179

26 克勞第呂西亞[Claudius Lysias],請巡撫腓力斯大人安。

26 Claudius2804 Lysias3079 to the most2903 excellent2903 governor2232 Felix5344 sends greeting.5463

27 這人被猶太人拿住,將要殺害,我得知他是羅馬人,就帶兵丁下去救他出來。

27 This5126 man435 was taken4815 of the Jews,2453 and should3195 have been killed615 of them: then came2186 I with an army,4753 and rescued1807 him, having understood3129 that he was a Roman.4514

28 因要知道他們告他的緣故,我就帶他下到他們的公會去,

28 And when I would have known1097 the cause156 why1223 3739 they accused1458 him, I brought2609 him forth2609 into1519 their council:4892

29 便查知他被告是因他們律法的辯論,並沒有甚麼該死該綁的罪名。

29 Whom3739 I perceived2147 to be accused1458 of questions2213 of their law,3551 but to have2192 nothing3367 laid1462 to his charge1462 worthy514 of death336 or2228 of bonds.1199

30 後來有人把猶太人怎樣埋伏那人[how that the Jews laid wait for the man]的計謀告訴我,我就立時解他到你那裏去,又吩咐告他的人在你面前告他。再見[Farewell]。」

30 And when it was told3377 me how that the Jews2453 laid2071 wait1917 for the man,435 I sent3992 straightway1824 to you, and gave commandment3853 to his accusers2725 also2532 to say3004 before1909 you what3588 they had against4314 him. Farewell.4517

31 於是,兵丁照所吩咐他們的,將保羅夜裏帶到安提帕底。
