| [1]And when gazed Paulus at the assembly he said men brothers I in all conscience good I have lived before Alaha until today |
[1]And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. |
| [2]And Khanan-Yah the priest commanded those who stood on the side to hit Paulus on his mouth |
[2]And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. |
| [3]And Paulus said to him going is Alaha to strike you a wall whitened and you sitting are judge you me according to the law when violate you against the law and command you to strike me |
[3]Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? |
| [4]And those who standing were there were saying to him the priest of Alaha accuse you |
[4]And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? |
| [5]Said to them Paulus not aware I was brothers that the Priest he is written it is for "The Ruler of your people not curse" |
[5]Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. |
| [6]And when knew Paulus that some of the people was of Zadoqia and some of Pharisha shouting he was in the council men brothers I Pharisha am son of a Pharisha and for the hope of the resurrection of the dead judged I am |
[6]But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. |
| [7]And when this he said fell one upon another Pharisha and Zadoqia and was divided the people |
[7]And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. |
| [8]Zadokia for were saying there is no resurrection neither angel nor spirit The Pharisha but confess all of these |
[8]For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. |
| [9]And there was noise great stood some scribes of the side of the Pharisha and contending they were with them and they were saying not we find anything evil in this man if but The Spirit or an angel spoke with him what? is there in it in that |
[9]And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. |
| [10]And when there was an uproar great among them afraid was the Chiliarch lest they would tear apart Paulus and he sent Romans to go snatch him from their midst and bring him to the encampment |
[10]And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle. |
| [11]And when he was the night appeared to him our Lord to Paulus and said to him be strong because as you testified of Me in Jerusalem thus are going you also in Rome to testify |
[11]And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. |
| [12]And when it was dawn gathered were some of the Jews and they put a curse upon themselves that not they would eat neither would they drink until they would kill him Paulus |
[12]And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. |
| [13]There were but those who established in an oath this covenant more than forty men |
[13]And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. |
| [14]And they came to The Priests and to The Elders and saying they were "A curse we have cursed upon us that anything not we shall taste until we shall kill Paulus |
[14]And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. |
| [15]And now ask you and The Rulers of the Council from The Chiliarch to bring him to you as if seek you to examine properly his conduct and we we are ready to kill him before he arrives in your presence |
[15]Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. |
| [16]And heard had son of the sister of Paulus plot this and he entered the encampment and informed Paulus |
[16]And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. |
| [17]And sent Paulus he called one of the Centurions and said to him escort young man this to The Chiliarch has he for something to say to him |
[17]Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him. |
| [18]And led him The Centurion the youth and brought him to The Chiliarch and said Paulus the prisoner called me and begged of me to bring this young man unto you who has to him something to say to you |
[18]So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. |
| [19]And held him by his hand The Chiliarch the youth and drew him to one side and asking he was him "What? have you to say to me" |
[19]Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? |
| [20]And said to him the youth the Judeans have planned to entreat of you to send down Paulus tomorrow to their Council as if they want something more to learn from him |
[20]And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. |
| [21]You therefore not believe them behold for more than forty men of them are watching for him in ambush and have put a curse on themselves that not to eat nor to drink until they kill him and behold they are ready and waiting for your promise |
[21]But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. |
| [22]And dismissed him The Chiliarch the youth as he ordered a man not would know that these things you have shown me |
[22]So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me. |
| [23]And he called two Centurions and said to them go prepare Romans two hundred to go to Qesaria and horsemen seventy and shooters right handed two hundred to go out from third hour in the night |
[23]And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; |
| [24]Prepare but also beasts of burden so they may mount Paulus and let him escape to Filix The Governor |
[24]And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. |
| [25]And he wrote a letter he gave to them who were with him thus |
[25]And he wrote a letter after this manner: |
| [26]Qlaudius Lusius to Filix The Governor The Excellent Greeting |
[26]Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. |
| [27]Man this seized the Judeans so as to kill him and I helped I with the Romans and I saved him when I learned that Roman he is |
[27]This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. |
| [28]And when sought I had to know the cause for which accusing they were him I brought him down to their Council |
[28]And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: |
| [29]And I found that about charges of their law accusing they were him and a cause that worthy for imprisonment or for death not was against him |
[29]Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. |
| [30]And when it was shown to me a plot by ambush that made against him the Judeans at once I sent him to you and I ordered his accusers to go and to speak with him before you be well |
[30]And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell. |
| [31]Then the Romans as they were ordered brought him Paulus in the night and brought him to Antipatris the city |
[31]Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. |
| [32]And the day next dismissed the horsemen the foot soldiers their comrades to return to camp |
[32]On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle: |
| [33]And they brought him to Qesaria and gave the letter to The Governor and presented him before him Paulus |
[33]Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. |
| [34]And when he read the letter asking he was him that from which? province he was and when he learned that from Qiliqia |
[34]And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia; |
| [35]He said to him shall hear I you whenever have came your accusers and he commanded to keep him in The Praetorium of Herodus |
[35]I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. |
