使徒行傳 23
1 注視著公議會說：「諸位仁人弟兄！我在天主前，作事為人，全憑純善的良心，直到今天。」
And Poul bihelde in to the counsel, and seide, Britheren, Y with al good conscience haue lyued bifore God, `til in to this dai.
2 大司祭阿納尼雅卻命站在旁邊的人打他的嘴。
And Anany, prince of prestis, comaundide to men that stoden nyy hym, that thei schulden smyte his mouth.
3 那時，保祿向他說：「粉白的牆啊！天主將要打擊你；你坐下審判我，應按照法律，你竟違反法律，下令打我嗎﹖」
Thanne Poul seide to hym, Thou whitid wal, God smyte thee; thou sittist, and demest me bi the lawe, and ayens the law thou comaundist me to be smytun.
4 旁邊站著的人說：「你竟敢辱罵天主的大司祭嗎﹖」
And thei that stoden niy, seiden, Cursist thou the hiyest prest of God?
5 保祿說：「弟兄們！我原不知道他是大司祭，因為經上記載說：『不可詛咒你百姓的首長。』」
And Poul seide, Britheren, Y wiste not, that he is prince of preestis; for it is writun, Thou schalt not curse the prince of thi puple.
6 保祿一看出他們一部份是撒杜塞人，另一部份是法利塞人，就在公議會中喊說：「諸位仁人弟兄！我是法利塞人，是法利塞人的兒子，我是為了希望死者的復活，現在受審。」
But Poul wiste, that o parti was of Saduceis, and the othere of Fariseis; and he criede in the counsel, Britheren, Y am a Farisee, the sone of Farisees; Y am demyd of the hope and of the ayen rising of deed men.
7 他說了這話，法利塞人和撒杜塞人便起了爭辯，會眾就分裂了。
And whanne he hadde seid this thing, dissencioun was maad bitwixe the Fariseis and the Saduceis, and the multitude was departid.
8 原來撒杜塞人說沒有復活，也沒有天使，也沒有神靈；法利塞人卻樣樣都承認。
For Saduceis seien, that no `rysing ayen of deed men is, nether aungel, nether spirit; but Fariseis knowlechen euer eithir.
9 於是喧嚷大起，有幾個法利塞黨的經師起來力爭說：「我們在這人身上找不出一點過錯來；或者有神靈或天使同他說了話！」
And a greet cry was maad. And summe of Farisees rosen vp, and fouyten, seiynge, We fynden no thing of yuel in this man; what if a spirit, ether an aungel spak to hym?
10 爭辯越來越大，千夫長怕保祿被他們撕裂，便命軍隊下來，把保祿從他們中間搶出來，帶到營裏去了。
And whanne greet discencioun was maad, the tribune dredde, lest Poul schulde be to-drawun of hem; and he comaundide knyytis to go doun, and to take hym fro the myddil of hem, and to lede hym in to castels.
11 次夜，主顯現給保祿說：「你放心罷！你怎樣在耶路撒冷為我作證，也該怎樣在羅馬為我作證。」
And in the niyt suynge the Lord stood niy to hym, and seide, Be thou stidfast; for as thou hast witnessid of me in Jerusalem, so it bihoueth thee to witnesse also at Rome.
12 天一亮，猶太人共商陰謀，發自詛的誓說：「不殺了保祿，決不吃不喝。」
And whanne the dai was come, summe of the Jewis gaderiden hem, and maden `avow, and seiden, that thei schulden nether eete, ne drinke, til thei slowen Poul.
13 發這誓的有四十多人；
And there weren mo than fourti men, that maden this sweryng togider.
14 這些人來到司祭長及長老前說：「我們發了自詛的誓，不殺了保祿，什麼也不吃。
And thei wenten to the princis of prestis, and eldre men, and seiden, With deuocioun we han a vowid, that we schulen not taste ony thing, til we sleen Poul.
15 所以，你們同公議會現在要通知千夫長，帶保祿下到你們這裏，你們假裝要更詳細審訊他的事；我們早準備好，在他來到你們這裏以前，就殺掉他。」
Now therfor make ye knowun to the tribune, with the counsel, that he bringe hym forth to you, as if ye schulden knowe sum thing more certeynli of hym; and we ben redi to sle hym, bifor that he come.
16 可是，保祿姊妹的兒子，聽到了這種詭計，就來到營裏，報告給保祿。
And whanne the sone of Poulis sister hadde herd the aspies, he cam, and entride in to the castels, and telde to Poul.
17 保祿就叫來一個百夫長說：「請領這個青年到千夫長那裏去，他有事要向他報告。」
And Poul clepide to hym oon of the centuriens, and seide, Lede this yonge man to the tribune, for he hath sum thing to schewe to hym.
18 於是百夫長就帶他到千夫長那裏說：「囚犯保祿叫我去，求我把這個青年領到你這裏來，他有事要告訴你。」
And he took hym, and ledde to the tribune, and seide, Poul, that is boundun, preide me to lede to thee this yonge man, that hath sum thing to speke to thee.
19 千夫長拉著他的手，走到一邊，私下詢問說：「你有什麼事要向我報告﹖」
And the tribune took his hoond, and wente with hym asidis half, and axide hym, What thing is it, that thou hast to schewe to me?
20 他說：「猶太人已約定請求你，明天把保祿帶下去，到公議會裏，假裝要更詳細查問他的事。
And he seide, The Jewis ben acordid to preye thee, that to morewe thou brynge forth Poul in to the counsel, as if thei schulden enquere sum thing more certeynli of hym.
21 所以你切不要聽從他們，因為他們中有四十多人埋伏著等待保祿，這些人已發了自詛的誓，非殺掉他，決不吃不喝；現在他們已準備好，只等候你的應允。」
But bileue thou not to hem; for mo than fourti men of hem aspien hym, which han a vowid, that thei schulen not eete nether drynke, til thei sleen hym; and now thei ben redi, abidinge thi biheest.
22 於是千夫長便打發那青年走了，並吩咐他說：「不要向任何人說你將這事報告給我了。」
Therfor the tribune lefte the yonge man, and comaundide, that he schulde speke to no man, that he hadde maad these thingis knowun to hym.
23 千夫長遂叫來了兩個百夫長說：「預備二百士兵，七十騎兵，二百長槍手，今夜第三時辰，往凱撒勒雅去，
And he clepide togidre twei centuriens, and he seide to hem, Make ye redi twei hundrid knyytis, that thei go to Cesarie, and horse men seuenti, and spere men twey hundrid, fro the thridde our of the nyyt.
24 並備妥牲口，叫保祿騎上，把他平安護送到斐理斯總督那裏。」
And make ye redy an hors, for Poul to ride on, to lede hym saaf to Felix, the presydent.
25 他寫了一封這樣的信：「
For the tribune dredde, lest the Jewis wolden take hym bi the weie, and sle hym, and aftirward he miyte be chalengid, as he hadde take money.
26 喀勞狄里息雅向總督斐理斯鈞座請安。
And wroot hym `a pistle, conteynynge these thingis. Claudius Lisias to the beste Felix, president, heelthe.
27 這人為猶太人拿住，快要被他們殺掉時，我聽說他是羅馬人，就帶軍隊到場，把他救出。
This man that was take of the Jewis, and bigan to be slayn, Y cam vpon hem with myn oost, and delyuerede hym fro hem, whanne Y knewe that he was a Romayn.
28 我想要知道他們所以控告他的緣由，就帶他下到他們的公議會去。
And Y wolde wite the cause, which thei puttiden ayens hym; and Y ledde hym to the counsel of hem.
29 得知他被控告，是為了他們的法律問題，並沒有任何該死或該監禁的罪行。
And Y foond, that he was accusid of questiouns of her lawe, but he hadde no cryme worthi the deth, ethir boondis.
30 有人告知我，將有陰謀陷害他。我便立刻打發他到你這裏來，並吩咐原告到你面前控訴他。祝你安好！」
And whanne it was teeld me of the aspies, that thei arayden for hym, Y sente hym to thee, and Y warnede also the accuseris, that thei seie at thee. Fare wel.
31 於是士兵照所命令的，夜間帶領保祿到了安提帕特；
And so the knyytis, as thei weren comaundid, token Poul, and ledde hym bi nyyt into Antipatriden.
32 第二天，讓騎兵跟保祿同去，別的就回到營裏。
And in the dai suynge, whanne the horsmen weren left, that schulden go with hym, thei turneden ayen to the castels.
33 他們進了凱撒勒雅，把信呈給總督，並引保祿到他面前。
And whanne thei camen to Cesarie, thei token the pistle to the president, and thei setten also Poul byfore him.
34 總督讀了信，便問保祿是那一省的人；既查知他是基里基雅人，
And whanne he hadde red, and axide, of what prouynce he was, and knewe that he was of Cilicie,
35 便說：「等控告你的人來到，我再聽審你。」遂下令把保祿看守在黑落德王府裏。
Y schal here thee, he seide, whanne thin accuseris comen. And he comaundide hym to be kept in the moot halle of Eroude.
