使徒行傳 23
1 保羅定睛看着公會的人，說：「弟兄們，我在上帝面前行事為人都是憑着良心，直到今日。」
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 大祭司亞拿尼亞就吩咐旁邊站着的人打他的嘴。
And Anany, prince of prestis, comaundide to men that stoden nyy hym, that thei schulden smyte his mouth.
3 保羅對他說：「你這粉飾的牆，上帝要打你！你坐堂為的是按律法審問我，你竟違背律法，吩咐人打我嗎？」
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 站在旁邊的人說：「你辱罵上帝的大祭司嗎？」
And thei that stoden niy, seiden, Cursist thou the hiyest prest of God?
5 保羅說：「弟兄們，我不曉得他是大祭司；經上記着說：『不可毀謗你百姓的官長。』」
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：「弟兄們，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。」
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 說了這話，法利賽人和撒都該人就爭論起來，會眾分為兩黨。
And whanne he hadde seid this thing, dissencioun was maad bitwixe the Fariseis and the Saduceis, and the multitude was departid.
8 因為撒都該人說，沒有復活，也沒有天使和鬼魂；法利賽人卻說，兩樣都有。
For Saduceis seien, that no `rysing ayen of deed men is, nether aungel, nether spirit; but Fariseis knowlechen euer eithir.
9 於是大大地喧嚷起來。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，倘若有鬼魂或是天使對他說過話，怎麼樣呢？」
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 那時大起爭吵，千夫長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。
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 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。」
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 到了天亮，猶太人同謀起誓，說：「若不先殺保羅就不吃不喝。」
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 這樣同心起誓的有四十多人。
And there weren mo than fourti men, that maden this sweryng togider.
14 他們來見祭司長和長老，說：「我們已經起了一個大誓，若不先殺保羅就不吃甚麼。
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 現在你們和公會要知會千夫長，叫他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。」
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 保羅的外甥聽見他們設下埋伏，就來到營樓裏告訴保羅。
And whanne the sone of Poulis sister hadde herd the aspies, he cam, and entride in to the castels, and telde to Poul.
17 保羅請一個百夫長來，說：「你領這少年人去見千夫長，他有事告訴他。」
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 於是把他領去見千夫長，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。」
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 千夫長就拉着他的手，走到一旁，私下問他說：「你有甚麼事告訴我呢？」
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。
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 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。」
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 於是千夫長打發少年人走，囑咐他說：「不要告訴人你將這事報給我了。」
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；
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 也要預備牲口叫保羅騎上，護送到巡撫腓力斯那裏去。」
And make ye redy an hors, for Poul to ride on, to lede hym saaf to Felix, the presydent.
25 千夫長又寫了文書，
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 大略說：「克勞第‧呂西亞，請巡撫腓力斯大人安。
And wroot hym `a pistle, conteynynge these thingis. Claudius Lisias to the beste Felix, president, heelthe.
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。
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 因要知道他們告他的緣故，我就帶他下到他們的公會去，
And Y wolde wite the cause, which thei puttiden ayens hym; and Y ledde hym to the counsel of hem.
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。
And Y foond, that he was accusid of questiouns of her lawe, but he hadde no cryme worthi the deth, ethir boondis.
30 後來有人把要害他的計謀告訴我，我就立時解他到你那裏去，又吩咐告他的人在你面前告他。」
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，兵丁照所吩咐他們的，將保羅夜裏帶到安提帕底。
And so the knyytis, as thei weren comaundid, token Poul, and ledde hym bi nyyt into Antipatriden.
32 第二天，讓馬兵護送，他們就回營樓去。
And in the dai suynge, whanne the horsmen weren left, that schulden go with hym, thei turneden ayen to the castels.
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。
And whanne thei camen to Cesarie, thei token the pistle to the president, and thei setten also Poul byfore him.
34 巡撫看了文書，問保羅是哪省的人，既曉得他是基利家人，
And whanne he hadde red, and axide, of what prouynce he was, and knewe that he was of Cilicie,
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衙門裏。
Y schal here thee, he seide, whanne thin accuseris comen. And he comaundide hym to be kept in the moot halle of Eroude.
