KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.1 Festus ergo cum venisset in provinciam, post triduum ascenditHierosolymam a Caesarea;
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,2 adieruntque eum principes sacerdotum et primiIudaeorum adversus Paulum, et rogabant eum
3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.3 postulantes gratiam adversum eum,ut iuberet perduci eum in Ierusalem, insidias tendentes, ut eum interficerent invia.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.4 Festus igitur respondit servari Paulum in Caesarea, se autem maturiusprofecturum:
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.5 “ Qui ergo in vobis, ait, potentes sunt, descendentes simul, siquod est in viro crimen, accusent eum ”.
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.6 Demoratus autem inter eos dies nonamplius quam octo aut decem, descendit Caesaream; et altera die sedit protribunali et iussit Paulum adduci.
7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.7 Qui cum perductus esset, circumsteterunteum, qui ab Hierosolyma descenderant, Iudaei, multas et graves causasobicientes, quas non poterant probare,
8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.8 Paulo rationem reddente: “ Neque inlegem Iudaeorum neque in templum neque in Caesarem quidquam peccavi ”.
9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?9 Festus autem volens Iudaeis gratiam praestare, respondens Paulo dixit: “ VisHierosolymam ascendere et ibi de his iudicari apud me? ”.
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.10 Dixit autemPaulus: “ Ad tribunal Caesaris sto, ubi me oportet iudicari. Iudaeis nihilnocui, sicut et tu melius nosti.
11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.11 Si ergo iniuste egi et dignum morte aliquidfeci, non recuso mori; si vero nihil est eorum, quae hi accusant me, nemo potestme illis donare. Caesarem appello! ”.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.12 Tunc Festus cum consilio locutusrespondit: “ Caesarem appellasti; ad Caesarem ibis ”.
13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.13 Et cum dies aliquot transacti essent, Agrippa rex et Berenice descenderuntCaesaream et salutaverunt Festum.
14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:14 Et cum dies plures ibi demorarentur, Festusregi indicavit de Paulo dicens: “ Vir quidam est derelictus a Felice vinctus,
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.15 de quo, cum essem Hierosolymis, adierunt me principes sacerdotum et senioresIudaeorum postulantes adversus illum damnationem;
16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.16 ad quos respondi, quia nonest consuetudo Romanis donare aliquem hominem, priusquam is, qui accusatur,praesentes habeat accusatores locumque defendendi se ab accusatione accipiat.
17 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.17 Cum ergo huc convenissent, sine ulla dilatione sequenti die sedens pro tribunaliiussi adduci virum;
18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:18 de quo, cum stetissent accusatores, nullam causamdeferebant, de quibus ego suspicabar malis;
19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.19 quaestiones vero quasdam de suasuperstitione habebant adversus eum et de quodam Iesu defuncto, quem affirmabatPaulus vivere.
20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.20 Haesitans autem ego de huiusmodi quaestione, dicebam si velletire Hierosolymam et ibi iudicari de istis.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.21 Paulo autem appellante, utservaretur ad Augusti cognitionem, iussi servari eum, donec mittam eum adCaesarem ”.
22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.22 Agrippa autem ad Festum: “ Volebam et ipse hominem audire!”. “ Cras, inquit, audies eum ”.
23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.23 Altera autem die, cum venisset Agrippa et Berenice cum multa ambitione, etintroissent in auditorium cum tribunis et viris principalibus civitatis, etiubente Festo, adductus est Paulus.
24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.24 Et dicit Festus: “ Agrippa rex etomnes, qui simul adestis nobiscum viri, videtis hunc, de quo omnis multitudoIudaeorum interpellavit me Hierosolymis et hic, clamantes non oportere eumvivere amplius.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.25 Ego vero comperi nihil dignum eum morte fecisse, ipso autemhoc appellante Augustum, iudicavi mittere.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.26 De quo quid certum scribam domino,non habeo; propter quod produxi eum ad vos et maxime ad te, rex Agrippa, ut,interrogatione facta, habeam quid scribam;
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.27 sine ratione enim mihi videturmittere vinctum et causas eius non significare ”.
