| 1 | Φῆστος οὖν ἐπιβὰς τῇ ἐπαρχείᾳ μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἀνέβη εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἀπὸ Καισαρείας, |
Now when Festus had come into his province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesare'a. | Paul Appeals to Caesar Ac.25.1-12
|
| 2 | ἐνεφάνισάν τε αὐτῷ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τῶν Ἰουδαίων κατὰ τοῦ Παύλου, καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν |
And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they urged him, |
|
| 3 | αἰτούμενοι χάριν κατ' αὐτοῦ ὁπως μεταπέμψηται αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἐνέδραν ποιοῦντες ἀνελεῖν αὐτὸν κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν. |
asking as a favour to have the man sent to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him on the way. |
|
| 4 | ὁ μὲν οὖν Φῆστος ἀπεκρίθη τηρεῖσθαι τὸν Παῦλον εἰς Καισάρειαν, ἑαυτὸν δὲ μέλλειν ἐν τάχει ἐκπορεύεσθαι· |
Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesare'a, and that he himself intended to go there shortly. |
|
| 5 | Οἱ οὖν ἐν ὑμῖν, φησίν, δυνατοὶ συγκαταβάντες εἰ τί ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἀτοπον κατηγορείτωσαν αὐτοῦ. |
"So," said he, "let the men of authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them accuse him." |
|
| 6 | Διατρίψας δὲ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας οὐ πλείους ὀκτὼ ἢ δέκα, καταβὰς εἰς Καισάρειαν, τῇ ἐπαύριον καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσεν τὸν Παῦλον ἀχθῆναι. |
When he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesare'a; and the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought. |
|
| 7 | παραγενομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ περιέστησαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καταβεβηκότες Ἰουδαῖοι, πολλὰ καὶ βαρέα αἰτιώματα καταφέροντες ἂ οὐκ ἰσχυον ἀποδεῖξαι, |
And when he had come, the Jews who had gone down from Jerusalem stood about him, bringing against him many serious charges which they could not prove. |
|
| 8 | τοῦ Παύλου ἀπολογουμένου ὅτι Οὐτε εἰς τὸν νόμον τῶν Ἰουδαίων οὐτε εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν οὐτε εἰς Καίσαρά τι ἡμαρτον. |
Paul said in his defence, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all." |
|
| 9 | ὁ Φῆστος δὲ, θέλων τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις χάριν καταθέσθαι, ἀποκριθεὶς τῷ Παύλῳ εἶπεν, Θέλεις εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἀναβὰς ἐκεῖ περὶ τούτων κριθῆναι ἐπ' ἐμοῦ; |
But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favour, said to Paul, "Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?" |
|
| 10 | εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Παῦλος, ἑστὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρός εἰμι, οὗ με δεῖ κρίνεσθαι. Ἰουδαίους οὐδὲν ἠδίκησα, ὡς καὶ σὺ κάλλιον ἐπιγινώσκεις. |
But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried; to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you know very well. |
|
| 11 | εἰ μὲν οὖν ἀδικῶ καὶ ἀξιον θανάτου πέπραχά τι, οὐ παραιτοῦμαι τὸ ἀποθανεῖν· εἰ δὲ οὐδέν ἐστιν ὧν οὗτοι κατηγοροῦσίν μου, οὐδείς με δύναται αὐτοῖς χαρίσασθαι· Καίσαρα ἐ πικαλοῦμαι. |
If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death; but if there is nothing in their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar." |
|
| 12 | τότε ὁ Φῆστος συλλαλήσας μετὰ τοῦ συμβουλίου ἀπεκρίθη, Καίσαρα ἐπικέκλησαι, ἐπὶ Καίσαρα πορεύσῃ. |
Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you shall go." |
|
| 13 | Ἡμερῶν δὲ διαγενομένων τινῶν Ἀγρίππας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Βερνίκη κατήντησαν εἰς Καισάρειαν ἀσπασάμενοι τὸν Φῆστον. |
Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Berni'ce arrived at Caesare'a to welcome Festus. | Paul Brought before Agrippa and Bernice Ac.25.13-27
top
|
| 14 | ὡς δὲ πλείους ἡμέρας διέτριβον ἐκεῖ, ὁ Φῆστος τῷ βασιλεῖ ἀνέθετο τὰ κατὰ τὸν Παῦλον λέγων, Ἀνήρ τίς ἐστιν καταλελειμμένος ὑπὸ Φήλικος δέσμιος, |
And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a man left prisoner by Felix; |
|
| 15 | περὶ οὗ γενομένου μου εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἐνεφάνισαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῶν Ἰουδαίων, αἰτούμενοι κατ' αὐτοῦ καταδίκην· |
and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews gave information about him, asking for sentence against him. |
|
| 16 | πρὸς οὓς ἀπεκρίθην ὅτι οὐκ ἐστιν ἐθος Ῥωμαίοις χαρίζεσθαί τινα ἄνθρωπον πρὶν ἢ ὁ κατηγορούμενος κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐχοι τοὺς κατηγόρους τόπον τε ἀπολογίας λάβοι περὶ τοῦ ἐγ κλήματος. |
I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any one before the accused met the accusers face to face, and had opportunity to make his defence concerning the charge laid against him. |
|
| 17 | συνελθόντων οὖν [αὐτῶν] ἐνθάδε ἀναβολὴν μηδεμίαν ποιησάμενος τῇ ἑξῆς καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσα ἀχθῆναι τὸν ἀνδρα· |
When therefore they came together here, I made no delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in. |
|
| 18 | περὶ οὗ σταθέντες οἱ κατήγοροι οὐδεμίαν αἰτίαν ἐφερον ὧν ἐγὼ ὑπενόουν πονηρῶν, |
When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed; |
|
| 19 | ζητήματα δέ τινα περὶ τῆς ἰδίας δεισιδαιμονίας εἶχον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ περί τινος Ἰησοῦ τεθνηκότος, ὃν ἐφασκεν ὁ Παῦλος ζῆν. |
but they had certain points of dispute with him about their own superstition and about one Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive. |
|
| 20 | ἀπορούμενος δὲ ἐγὼ τὴν περὶ τούτων ζήτησιν ἐλεγον εἰ βούλοιτο πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα κἀκεῖ κρίνεσθαι περὶ τούτων. |
Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them. |
|
| 21 | τοῦ δὲ Παύλου ἐπικαλεσαμένου τηρηθῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν τοῦ σεβαστοῦ διάγνωσιν, ἐκέλευσα τηρεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ἑως οὗ ἀναπέμψω αὐτὸν πρὸς Καίσαρα. |
But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until I could send him to Caesar." |
|
| 22 | Ἀγρίππας δὲ πρὸς τὸν Φῆστον, Ἐβουλόμην καὶ αὐτὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀκοῦσαι. Αὐριον, φησίν, ἀκούσῃ αὐτοῦ. |
And Agrippa said to Festus, "I should like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," said he, "you shall hear him." |
|
| 23 | Τῇ οὖν ἐπαύριον ἐλθόντος τοῦ Ἀγρίππα καὶ τῆς Βερνίκης μετὰ πολλῆς φαντασίας καὶ εἰσελθόντων εἰς τὸ ἀκροατήριον σύν τε χιλιάρχοις καὶ ἀνδράσιν τοῖς κατ' ἐξοχὴν τῆς πόλεως , καὶ κελεύσαντος τοῦ Φήστου ἤχθη ὁ Παῦλος. |
So on the morrow Agrippa and Berni'ce came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then by command of Festus Paul was brought in. |
|
| 24 | καί φησιν ὁ Φῆστος, Ἀγρίππα βασιλεῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ συμπαρόντες ἡμῖν ἀνδρες, θεωρεῖτε τοῦτον περὶ οὗ ἀπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐνέτυχόν μοι ἐν τε Ἱεροσολύμοις καὶ ἐνθά δε, βοῶντες μὴ δεῖν αὐτὸν ζῆν μηκέτι. |
And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer. |
|
| 25 | ἐγὼ δὲ κατελαβόμην μηδὲν ἀξιον αὐτὸν θανάτου πεπραχέναι, αὐτοῦ δὲ τούτου ἐπικαλεσαμένου τὸν Σεβαστὸν ἐκρινα πέμπειν. |
But I found that he had done nothing deserving death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him. |
|
| 26 | περὶ οὗ ἀσφαλές τι γράψαι τῷ κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐχω· διὸ προήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐφ' ὑμῶν καὶ μάλιστα ἐπὶ σοῦ, βασιλεῦ Ἀγρίππα, ὁπως τῆς ἀνακρίσεως γενομένης σχῶ τί γράψω· |
But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you, and, especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write. |
|
| 27 | ἀλογον γάρ μοι δοκεῖ πέμποντα δέσμιον μὴ καὶ τὰς κατ' αὐτοῦ αἰτίας σημᾶναι. |
For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him." |
