Acts 25

非斯都到了任，过了三天，就从凯撒利亚上耶路撒冷去。

fēi sī dōu dào le rèn ， guò le sān tiān ， jiù cóng kǎi sā lì yà shàng yē lù sā lěng qù 。

Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

祭司长和犹太人的首领向他控告保罗，

jì sī zhǎng hé yóu tài rén de shǒu lǐng xiàng tā kòng gào bǎo luó ，

Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,

又央告他，求他的情，将保罗提到耶路撒冷来，他们要在路上埋伏杀害他。

yòu yāng gào tā ， qiú tā de qíng ， jiāng bǎo luó tí dào yē lù sā lěng lái ， tā men yào zài lù shang mái fú shā hài tā 。

asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.

非斯都却回答说：「保罗押在凯撒利亚，我自己快要往那里去」；

fēi sī dōu què huí dá shuō ：「 bǎo luó yā zài kǎi sā lì yà ， wǒ zì jǐ kuài yào wǎng nà lǐ qù 」；

However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

又说：「你们中间有权势的人与我一同下去，那人若有什么不是，就可以告他。」

yòu shuō ：「 nǐ men zhōng jiān yǒu quán shì de rén yǔ wǒ yì tóng xià qù ， nà rén ruò yǒu shén me bú shì ， jiù kě yǐ gào tā 。」

“Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”

非斯都在他们那里住了不过十天八天，就下凯撒利亚去；第二天坐堂，吩咐将保罗提上来。

fēi sī dōu zài tā men nà lǐ zhù le bú guò shí tiān bā tiān ， jiù xià kǎi sā lì yà qù ； dì èr tiān zuò táng ， fēn fù jiāng bǎo luó tí shàng lái 。

When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

保罗来了，那些从耶路撒冷下来的犹太人周围站着，将许多重大的事控告他，都是不能证实的。

bǎo luó lái le ， nà xiē cóng yē lù sā lěng xià lái de yóu tài rén zhōu wéi zhàn zhe ， jiāng xǔ duō chóng dà de shì kòng gào tā ， dōu shì bù néng zhèng shí de 。

When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,

保罗分诉说：「无论犹太人的律法，或是圣殿，或是凯撒，我都没有干犯。」

bǎo luó fēn sù shuō ：「 wú lùn yóu tài rén de lǜ fǎ ， huò shì shèng diàn ， huò shì kǎi sā ， wǒ dōu méi yǒu gān fàn 。」

while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”

但非斯都要讨犹太人的喜欢，就问保罗说：「你愿意上耶路撒冷去，在那里听我审断这事吗？」

dàn fēi sī dōu yào tǎo yóu tài rén de xǐ huan ， jiù wèn bǎo luó shuō ：「 nǐ yuàn yì shàng yē lù sā lěng qù ， zài nà lǐ tīng wǒ shěn duàn zhè shì ma ？」

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”

保罗说：「我站在凯撒的堂前，这就是我应当受审的地方。我向犹太人并没有行过什么不义的事，这也是你明明知道的。

bǎo luó shuō ：「 wǒ zhàn zài kǎi sā de táng qián ， zhè jiù shì wǒ yīng dāng shòu shěn de dì fāng 。 wǒ xiàng yóu tài rén bìng méi yǒu xíng guò shén me bú yì de shì ， zhè yě shì nǐ míng míng zhī dào de 。

But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.

我若行了不义的事，犯了什么该死的罪，就是死，我也不辞。他们所告我的事若都不实，就没有人可以把我交给他们。我要上告于凯撒。」

wǒ ruò xíng le bú yì de shì ， fàn le shén me gāi sǐ de zuì ， jiù shì sǐ ， wǒ yě bù cí 。 tā men suǒ gào wǒ de shì ruò dōu bù shí ， jiù méi yǒu rén kě yǐ bǎ wǒ jiāo gěi tā men 。 wǒ yào shàng gào yú kǎi sā 。」

For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

非斯都和议会商量了，就说：「你既上告于凯撒，可以往凯撒那里去。」

fēi sī dōu hé yì huì shāng liáng le ， jiù shuō ：「 nǐ jì shàng gào yú kǎi sā ， kě yǐ wǎng kǎi sā nà lǐ qù 。」

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”

过了些日子，亚基帕王和百妮基氏来到凯撒利亚，问非斯都安。

guò le xiē rì zǐ ， yà jī pà wáng hé bǎi nī jī shì lái dào kǎi sā lì yà ， wèn fēi sī dōu ān 。

Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.

在那里住了多日，非斯都将保罗的事告诉王，说：「这里有一个人，是腓力斯留在监里的。

zài nà lǐ zhù le duō rì ， fēi sī dōu jiāng bǎo luó de shì gào sù wáng ， shuō ：「 zhè lǐ yǒu yí gè rén ， shì féi lì sī liú zài jiān lǐ de 。

As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

我在耶路撒冷的时候，祭司长和犹太的长老将他的事禀报了我，求我定他的罪。

wǒ zài yē lù sā lěng de shí hòu ， jì sī zhǎng hé yóu tài de cháng lǎo jiàng tā de shì bǐng bào le wǒ ， qiú wǒ dìng tā de zuì 。

about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

我对他们说，无论什么人，被告还没有和原告对质，未得机会分诉所告他的事，就先定他的罪，这不是罗马人的条例。

wǒ duì tā men shuō ， wú lùn shén me rén ， bèi gào hái méi yǒu hé yuán gào duì zhì ， wèi dé jī huì fēn sù suǒ gào tā de shì ， jiù xiān dìng tā de zuì ， zhè bú shì luó mǎ rén de tiáo lì 。

I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

及至他们都来到这里，我就不耽延，第二天便坐堂，吩咐把那人提上来。

jí zhì tā men dōu lái dào zhè lǐ ， wǒ jiù bù dān yán ， dì èr tiān biàn zuò táng ， fēn fù bǎ nà rén tí shàng lái 。

When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.

告他的人站着告他；所告的，并没有我所逆料的那等恶事。

gào tā de rén zhàn zhe gào tā ； suǒ gào de ， bìng méi yǒu wǒ suǒ nì liào de nà děng è shì 。

When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;

不过是有几样辩论，为他们自己敬鬼神的事，又为一个人名叫耶稣，是已经死了，保罗却说他是活着的。

bú guò shì yǒu jǐ yàng biàn lùn ， wèi tā men zì jǐ jìng guǐ shén de shì ， yòu wèi yí gè rén míng jiào yē sū ， shì yǐ jīng sǐ le ， bǎo luó què shuō tā shì huó zhe de 。

but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

这些事当怎样究问，我心里作难，所以问他说：『你愿意上耶路撒冷去，在那里为这些事听审吗？』

zhè xiē shì dāng zěn yàng jiū wèn ， wǒ xīn lǐ zuò nán ， suǒ yǐ wèn tā shuō ：『 nǐ yuàn yì shàng yē lù sā lěng qù ， zài nà lǐ wèi zhè xiē shì tīng shěn ma ？』

Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

但保罗求我留下他，要听皇上审断，我就吩咐把他留下，等我解他到凯撒那里去。」

dàn bǎo luó qiú wǒ liú xià tā ， yào tīng huáng shàng shěn duàn ， wǒ jiù fēn fù bǎ tā liú xià ， děng wǒ jiě tā dào kǎi sā nà lǐ qù 。」

But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”

亚基帕对非斯都说：「我自己也愿听这人辩论。」非斯都说：「明天你可以听。」

yà jī pà duì fēi sī dōu shuō ：「 wǒ zì jǐ yě yuàn tīng zhè rén biàn lùn 。」 fēi sī dōu shuō ：「 míng tiān nǐ kě yǐ tīng 。」

Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”

第二天，亚基帕和百妮基大张威势而来，同着众千夫长和城里的尊贵人进了公厅。非斯都吩咐一声，就有人将保罗带进来。

dì èr tiān ， yà jī pà hé bǎi nī jī dà zhāng wēi shì ér lái ， tóng zhe zhòng qiān fū cháng hé chéng lǐ de zūn guì rén jìn le gōng tīng 。 fēi sī dōu fēn fù yì shēng ， jiù yǒu rén jiāng bǎo luó dài jìn lái 。

So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

非斯都说：「亚基帕王和在这里的诸位啊，你们看这人，就是一切犹太人，在耶路撒冷和这里，曾向我恳求、呼叫说：『不可容他再活着。』

fēi sī dōu shuō ：「 yà jī pà wáng hé zài zhè lǐ de zhū wèi a ， nǐ men kàn zhè rén ， jiù shì yí qiè yóu tài rén ， zài yē lù sā lěng hé zhè lǐ ， céng xiàng wǒ kěn qiú 、 hū jiào shuō ：『 bù kě róng tā zài huó zhe 。』

Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

但我查明他没有犯什么该死的罪，并且他自己上告于皇帝，所以我定意把他解去。

dàn wǒ chá míng tā méi yǒu fàn shén me gāi sǐ de zuì ， bìng qiě tā zì jǐ shàng gào yú huáng dì ， suǒ yǐ wǒ dìng yì bǎ tā jiě qù 。

But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,

论到这人，我没有确实的事可以奏明主上。因此，我带他到你们面前，也特意带他到你亚基帕王面前，为要在查问之后有所陈奏。

lùn dào zhè rén ， wǒ méi yǒu què shí de shì kě yǐ zòu míng zhǔ shàng 。 yīn cǐ ， wǒ dài tā dào nǐ men miàn qián ， yě tè yì dài tā dào nǐ yà jī pà wáng miàn qián ， wèi yào zài chá wèn zhī hòu yǒu suǒ chén zòu 。

of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.

据我看来，解送囚犯，不指明他的罪案是不合理的。」

jù wǒ kàn lái ， jiè sòng qiú fàn ， bù zhǐ míng tā de zuì àn shì bù hé lǐ de 。」

For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
