| 1 | And after five days the high priest Ananias came down, with some of the ancients, and one Tertullus an orator, who went to the governor against Paul. | Post quinque autem dies descendit princeps sacerdotum Ananias, cum senioribus quibusdam, et Tertullo quodam oratore, qui adierunt praesidem adversus Paulum. |
| 2 | And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas through thee we live in much peace, and many things are rectified by thy providence, | Et citato Paulo coepit accusare Tertullus, dicens: Cum in multa pace agamus per te, et multa corrigantur per tuam providentiam, |
| 3 | We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving. | semper et ubique suscipimus, optime Felix, cum omni gratiarum actione. |
| 4 | But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in few words. | Ne diutius autem te protraham, oro, breviter audias nos pro tua clementia. |
| 5 | We have found this to be a pestilent man, and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world, and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes. | Invenimus hunc hominem pestiferum, et concitantem seditiones omnibus Iudaeis in universo orbe, et auctorem seditionis sectae Nazarenorum: |
| 6 | Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law. | qui etiam templum violare conatus est, quem et apprehensum voluimus secundum legem nostram iudicare. |
| 7 | But Lysias the tribune coming upon us, with great violence took him away out of our hands; | Superveniens autem tribunus Lysias, cum vi magna eripuit eum de manibus nostris, |
| 8 | Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. | iubens accusatores eius ad te venire: a quo poteris ipse iudicans, de omnibus istis cognoscere, de quibus nos accusamus eum. |
| 9 | And the Jews also added, and said that these things were so. | Adiecerunt autem et Iudaei, dicentes haec ita se habere. |
| 10 | Then Paul answered, (the governor making a sign to him to speak:) Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself. | Respondit autem Paulus (annuente sibi praeside dicere): Ex multis annis te esse iudicem genti huic sciens, bono animo pro me satisfaciam. |
| 11 | For thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days, since I went up to adore in Jerusalem: | Potes enim cognoscere quia non plus sunt mihi dies quam duodecim, ex quo ascendi adorare in Ierusalem: |
| 12 | And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man, or causing any concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: | et neque in templo invenerunt me cum aliquo disputantem, aut concursum facientem turbae, neque in synagogis, neque in civitate: |
| 13 | Neither can they prove unto thee the things whereof they now accuse me. | neque probare possunt tibi de quibus nunc me accusant. |
| 14 | But this I confess to thee, that according to the way, which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets: | Confiteor autem hoc tibi, quod secundum sectam quam dicunt haeresim, sic deservio Patri et Deo meo, credens omnibus quae in lege et prophetis scripta sunt: |
| 15 | Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust. | spem habens in Deum, quam et hi ipsi exspectant, resurrectionem futuram iustorum et iniquorum. |
| 16 | And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence toward God, and towards men. | In hoc et ipse studeo sine offendiculo conscientiam habere ad Deum et ad homines semper. |
| 17 | Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings, and vows. | Post annos autem plures eleemosynas facturus in gentem meam, veni, et oblationes, et vota, |
| 18 | In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude, nor with tumult. | in quibus invenerunt me purificatum in templo: non cum turba, neque cum tumultu. |
| 19 | But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had any thing against me: | Quidam autem ex Asia Iudaei, quos oportebat apud te praesto esse, et accusare si quid haberent adversum me: |
| 20 | Or let these men themselves say, if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council, | aut hi ipsi dicant si quid invenerunt in me iniquitatis cum stem in concilio, |
| 21 | Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you. | nisi de una hac solummodo voce qua clamavi inter eos stans: Quoniam de resurrectione mortuorum ego iudicor hodie a vobis. |
| 22 | And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you. | Distulit autem illos Felix, certissime sciens de via hac, dicens: Cum tribunus Lysias descenderit, audiam vos. |
| 23 | And he commanded a centurion to keep him, and that he should be easy, and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him. | Iussitque centurioni custodire eum, et habere requiem, nec quemquam de suis prohibere ministrare ei. |
| 24 | And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul, and heard of him the faith, that is in Christ Jesus. | Post aliquot autem dies veniens Felix cum Drusilla uxore sua, quae erat Iudaea, vocavit Paulum, et audivit ab eo fidem quae est in Christum Iesum. |
| 25 | And as he treated of justice, and chastity, and of the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee. | Disputante autem illo de iustitia, et castitate, et de iudicio futuro, tremefactus Felix, respondit: Quod nunc attinet, vade: tempore autem opportuno accersam te: |
| 26 | Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him. | simul et sperans quod pecunia ei daretur a Paulo, propter quod et frequenter accersens eum, loquebatur cum eo. |
| 27 | But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. | Biennio autem expleto, accepit successorem Felix Portium Festum. Volens autem gratiam praestare Iudaeis Felix, reliquit Paulum vinctum. |
