23 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

12When day broke, the Jews banded together and took an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.The Plot against Paul's Life Ac.23.12-22Γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας ποιήσαντες συστροφὴν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πίειν ἑως οὗ ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸν Παῦλον.
13There were more than forty in this conspiracy. ἦσαν δὲ πλείους τεσσεράκοντα οἱ ταύτην τὴν συνωμοσίαν ποιησάμενοι·
14They came to the chief priests and elders and said, 'We have bound ourselves by a solemn oath not to taste food until we have killed Paul. οἱτινες προσελθόντες τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις εἶπαν, ἀναθέματι Ἀνεθεματίσαμεν ἑαυτοὺς μηδενὸς γεύσασθαι ἑως οὗ ἀποκτείνωμεν τὸν Παῦλον.
15It is now for you, acting with the Council, to apply to the commandant to bring him down to you, on the pretext of a closer investigation of his case; and we have arranged to do away with him before he arrives.'
 νῦν οὖν ὑμεῖς ἐμφανίσατε τῷ χιλιάρχῳ σὺν τῷ συνεδρίῳ ὁπως καταγάγῃ αὐτὸν εἰς ὑμᾶς ὡς μέλλοντας διαγινώσκειν ἀκριβέστερον τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ· ἡμεῖς δὲ πρὸ τοῦ ἐγγίσαι α ὐτὸν ἑτοιμοί ἐσμεν τοῦ ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν.
16But the son of Paul's sister heard of the ambush; he went to the barracks, obtained entry, and reported it to Paul. Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀδελφῆς Παύλου τὴν ἐνέδραν παραγενόμενος καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Παύλῳ.
17Paul called one of the centurions and said, 'Take this young man to the commandant; he has something to report.' προσκαλεσάμενος δὲ ὁ Παῦλος ἑνα τῶν ἑκατονταρχῶν ἐφη, Τὸν νεανίαν τοῦτον ἀπάγαγε πρὸς τὸν χιλίαρχον, ἐχει γὰρ ἀπαγγεῖλαί τι αὐτῷ.
18The centurion took him and brought him to the commandant. 'The prisoner Paul', he said, 'sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you; he has something to tell you.' ὁ μὲν οὖν παραλαβὼν αὐτὸν ἠγαγεν πρὸς τὸν χιλίαρχον καὶ φησίν, Ὁ δέσμιος Παῦλος προσκαλεσάμενός με ἠρώτησεν τοῦτον τὸν νεανίσκον ἀγαγεῖν πρὸς σέ, ἐχοντά τι λαλῆσαί σοι.
19The commandant took him by the arm, drew him aside, and asked him, 'What is it you have to report?' ἐπιλαβόμενος δὲ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ χιλίαρχος καὶ ἀναχωρήσας κατ' ἰδίαν ἐπυνθάνετο, Τί ἐστιν ὃ ἐχεις ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοὶ;
20He said, 'The Jews have made a plan among themselves and will request you to bring Paul down to the Council tomorrow, on the pretext of obtaining more precise information about him. εἶπεν δὲ ὅτι Οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι συνέθεντο τοῦ ἐρωτῆσαί σε ὁπως αὐριον τὸν Παῦλον καταγάγῃς εἰς τὸ συνέδριον ὡς μέλλον τι ἀκριβέστερον πυνθάνεσθαι περὶ αὐτοῦ.
21Do not listen to them; for a party more than forty strong are lying in wait for him. They have sworn not to eat or drink until they have done away with him; they are now ready, and wait only for your consent.' σὺ οὖν μὴ πεισθῇς αὐτοῖς· ἐνεδρεύουσιν γὰρ αὐτὸν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀνδρες πλείους τεσσεράκοντα, οἱτινες ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πιεῖν ἑως οὗ ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν, και ; νῦν εἰσιν ἑτοιμοι προσδεχομενοι τὴν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπαγγελίαν.
22So the commandant dismissed the young man, with orders not to let anyone know that he had given him this information.
 ὁ μὲν οὖν χιλίαρχος ἀπέλυσε τὸν νεανίσκον παραγγείλας μηδενὶ ἐκλαλῆσαι ὅτι ταῦτα ἐνεφάνισας πρός με.
