1At pagkaraan ng limang araw ay lumusong ang pangulong saserdoteng si Ananias na kasama ang ilang matatanda, at ang isang Tertulo na mananalumpati; at sila'y nangagbigay-alam sa gobernador laban kay Pablo. 2At nang siya'y tawagin, si Tertulo ay nagpasimulang isakdal siya, na sinasabi, Yamang dahil sa iyo'y nangagtatamo kami ng malaking kapayapaan, at sa iyong kalinga ay napawi sa bansang ito ang mga kasamaan, 3Ay tinatanggap namin ito sa lahat ng mga paraan at sa lahat ng mga dako, kagalanggalang na Felix, ng buong pagpapasalamat. 4Datapuwa't, nang huwag akong makabagabag pa sa iyo, ay ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na pakinggan mo kami sa iyong kagandahang loob sa ilang mga salita. 5Sapagka't nangasumpungan namin ang taong ito'y isang taong mapangulo at mapagbangon ng mga paghihimagsik sa gitna ng lahat ng mga Judio sa buong sanglibutan, at namiminuno sa sekta ng mga Nazareno: 6Na kaniya rin namang pinagsisikapang lapastanganin ang templo: na siya ring dahil ng aming inihuli: 7Datapuwa't dumating ang pangulong pinunong si Lysias at sapilitang inagaw siya sa aming mga kamay. 8Na mapagtatalastas mo, sa iyong pagsisiyasat sa kaniya, ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito na laban sa kaniya'y isinasakdal namin. 9At nakianib naman ang mga Judio sa pagsasakdal, na pinatutunayan na ang mga bagay na ito'y gayon nga. 10At nang siya'y mahudyatan ng gobernador upang magsalita, si Pablo ay sumagot, Yamang nalalaman ko na ikaw ay hukom sa loob ng maraming mga taon sa bansang ito, ay masiglang gagawin ko ang aking pagsasanggalang: 11Sapagka't napagtatalastas mo na wala pang labingdalawang araw buhat nang ako'y umahon sa Jerusalem upang sumamba: 12At ni hindi nila ako nasumpungan sa templo na nakikipagtalo sa kanino man o kaya'y nanggugulo sa karamihan, ni sa mga sinagoga, ni sa bayan. 13Ni hindi rin mapatutunayan nila sa iyo ang mga bagay na ngayo'y kanilang isinasakdal laban sa akin. 14Nguni't ito ang ipinahahayag ko sa iyo, na ayon sa Daan na kanilang tinatawag na sekta, ay gayon ang paglilingkod ko sa Dios ng aming mga magulang, na sinasampalatayanan ang lahat ng mga bagay na alinsunod sa kautusan, at nangasusulat sa mga propeta; 15Na may pagasa sa Dios, na siya rin namang hinihintay nila, na magkakaroon ng pagkabuhay na maguli ng mga ganap at gayon din ng mga di ganap. 16Na dahil nga rito'y lagi rin akong nagsasanay upang magkaroon ng isang budhing walang kapaslangan sa Dios at sa mga tao. 17At nang makaraan nga ang ilang mga taon ay naparito ako upang magdala ng mga limos sa aking bansa, at ng mga hain: 18Na ganito nila ako nasumpungang pinalinis sa templo, na walang kasamang karamihan, ni wala ring kaguluhan: datapuwa't mayroon doong ilang mga Judiong galing sa Asia. 19Na dapat magsiparito sa harapan mo, at mangagsakdal, kung may anomang laban sa akin. 20O kaya'y ang mga tao ring ito ang mangagsabi kung anong masamang gawa ang nasumpungan nila nang ako'y nakatayo sa harapan ng Sanedrin, 21Maliban na sa isang tinig na ito na aking isinigaw nang nakatayo sa gitna nila, Tungkol sa pagkabuhay na maguli ng mga patay ako'y pinaghahatulan sa harapan ninyo sa araw na ito. 22Datapuwa't si Felix, na may lalong ganap nang pagkatalastas tungkol sa Daan, ay ipinagpaliban sila, na sinasabi, Paglusong ni Lisias na pangulong kapitan, ay pasisiyahan ko ang inyong usap. 23At iniutos niya sa senturion na siya'y tanuran at siya'y pagbigyang-loob; at huwag ipagbawal sa kanino mang mga kaibigan niya na siya'y paglingkuran. 24Datapuwa't nang makaraan ang ilang mga araw, si Felix ay dumating na kasama si Drusila, na kaniyang asawa, na isang Judia, at ipinatawag si Pablo, at siya'y pinakinggan tungkol sa pananampalataya kay Cristo Jesus. 25At samantalang siya'y nagsasalaysay tungkol sa katuwiran, at sa sariling pagpipigil, at sa paghuhukom na darating, ay nangilabot si Felix, at sumagot, Ngayo'y humayo ka; at pagkakaroon ko ng kaukulang panahon ay ipatatawag kita. 26Kaniyang inaasahan din naman na siya'y bibigyan ni Pablo ng salapi: kaya naman lalong madalas na ipinatatawag siya, at sa kaniya'y nakikipagusap. 27Datapuwa't nang maganap ang dalawang taon, si Felix ay hinalinhan ni Porcio Festo; at sa pagkaibig ni Felix na siya'y kalugdan ng mga Judio, ay pinabayaan sa mga tanikala si Pablo.
1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul. 2When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation, 3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. 4But, that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words. 5For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. 6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. 8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.” 9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so. 10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense, 11seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. 12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city. 13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me. 14But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; 15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 16Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men. 17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings; 18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil. 19They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me. 20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council, 21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’” 22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.” 23He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him. 24But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. 25As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.” 26Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him. 27But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
1En vijf dagen daarna kwam de hogepriester Ananias af met de ouderlingen, en een zekeren voorspraak, genaamd Tertullus, dewelke verschenen voor den stadhouder tegen Paulus. 2En als hij geroepen was, begon Tertullus hem te beschuldigen, zeggende: 3Dat wij grote vrede door u bekomen, en dat vele loffelijke diensten deze volke geschieden door uw voorzichtigheid, machtigste Felix, nemen wij ganselijk en overal met alle dankbaarheid aan. 4Maar opdat ik u niet lang ophoude, ik bid u, dat gij ons, naar uw bescheidenheid, kortelijk hoort. 5Want wij hebben dezen man bevonden te zijn een pest, en een, die oproer verwekt onder al de Joden, door de ganse wereld, en een oppersten voorstander van de sekte der Nazarenen. 6Die ook gepoogd heeft den tempel te ontheiligen, welken wij ook gegrepen hebben, en naar onze wet hebben willen oordelen. 7Maar Lysias, de overste, daarover komende, heeft hem met groot geweld uit onze handen weggebracht; 8Gebiedende zijn beschuldigers tot u te komen; van dewelken gij zelf, hem onderzocht hebbende, zult kunnen verstaan al hetgeen, waarvan wij hem beschuldigen. 9En ook de Joden stemden het toe, zeggende, dat deze dingen alzo waren. 10Maar Paulus, als hem de stadhouder gewenkt had, dat hij zou spreken, antwoordde: Dewijl ik weet, dat gij nu vele jaren over dit volk rechter zijt geweest, zo verantwoord ik mijzelven met des te beteren moed. 11Alzo gij kunt weten, dat het niet meer dan twaalf dagen zijn, van dat ik ben opgekomen om te aanbidden te Jeruzalem; 12En zij hebben mij noch in den tempel gevonden tot iemand sprekende, of enige samenrotting des volks makende, noch in de synagogen, noch in de stad; 13En zij kunnen niet bewijzen, waarvan zij mij nu beschuldigen. 14Maar dit beken ik u, dat ik naar dien weg, welken zij sekte noemen, den God der vaderen alzo diene, gelovende alles, wat in de wet en in de profeten geschreven is; 15Hebbende hoop op God, welke dezen ook zelf verwachten, dat er een opstanding der doden wezen zal, beiden der rechtvaardigen en der onrechtvaardigen. 16En hierin oefen ik mijzelven, om altijd een onergerlijk geweten te hebben bij God en de mensen. 17Doch na vele jaren ben ik gekomen om aalmoezen te doen aan mijn volk, en offeranden. 18Waarover mij gevonden hebben, geheiligd zijnde, in den tempel, niet met volk, noch met beroerte, enige Joden uit Azie; 19Welke behoorden hier voor u tegenwoordig te zijn, en mij te beschuldigen, indien zij iets hadden tegen mij. 20Of dat dezen zelf zeggen of zij enig onrecht in mij gevonden hebben, als ik voor den raad stond; 21Dan van dit enig woord, hetwelk ik riep, staande onder hen: Over de opstanding der doden word ik heden van ulieden geoordeeld! 22Toen nu Felix dit gehoord had, stelde hij hen uit, zeggende: Als ik nader wetenschap van dezen weg zal hebben, wanneer Lysias, de overste, zal afgekomen zijn, zo zal ik volle kennis nemen van uw zaken. 23En hij beval den hoofdman over honderd, dat Paulus zou bewaard worden, en verlichting hebben, en dat hij niemand van de zijnen zou beletten hem te dienen, of tot hem te komen. 24En na sommige dagen, Felix, daar gekomen zijnde met Drusilla, zijn vrouw, die een Jodin was, ontbood Paulus, en hoorde hem van het geloof in Christus. 25En als hij handelde van rechtvaardigheid, en matigheid, en van het toekomende oordeel, Felix, zeer bevreesd geworden zijnde, antwoordde: Voor ditmaal ga heen; en als ik gelegenen tijd zal hebben bekomen, zo zal ik u tot mij roepen. 26En tegelijk ook hopende, dat hem van Paulus geld gegeven zou worden, opdat hij hem losliet; waarom hij hem ook dikwijls ontbood, en sprak met hem. 27Maar als twee jaren vervuld waren, kreeg Felix Porcius Festus in zijn plaats; en Felix, willende den Joden gunst bewijzen, liet Paulus gevangen.
