1Ná vyf dae het die hoëpriester Ananias afgekom saam met sommige oudstes en 'n sekere redenaar, Tertullus, wat by die goewerneur 'n aanklag teen Paulus ingebring het.Μετὰ δὲ πέντε ἡμέρας κατέβη ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς Ἁνανίας μετὰ ⸂πρεσβυτέρων τινῶν⸃ καὶ ῥήτορος Τερτύλλου τινός, οἵτινες ἐνεφάνισαν τῷ ἡγεμόνι κατὰ τοῦ Παύλου.Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul. 2Toe hy geroep is, het Tertullus begin om hom aan te kla en gesê: “Dat ons deur u groot vrede geniet en dat daar deur u voorsorg hervormings vir hierdie volk plaasvind,

Sommige manuskripte lees: en dat daar deur u voorsorg voortreflike dade vir hierdie volk plaasvind

κληθέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤρξατο κατηγορεῖν ὁ Τέρτυλλος λέγων· Πολλῆς εἰρήνης τυγχάνοντες διὰ σοῦ καὶ ⸀διορθωμάτων γινομένων τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ διὰ τῆς σῆς προνοίαςWhen Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation. 3ontvang ons dit op alle maniere en oral, uitnemende Feliks, met volle dank.πάντῃ τε καὶ πανταχοῦ ἀποδεχόμεθα, κράτιστε Φῆλιξ, μετὰ πάσης εὐχαριστίας.In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude. 4Maar om u nie langer op te hou nie, versoek ek u om ons kortliks aan te hoor in u inskiklikheid.ἵνα δὲ μὴ ἐπὶ πλεῖόν σε ἐγκόπτω, παρακαλῶ ἀκοῦσαί σε ἡμῶν συντόμως τῇ σῇ ἐπιεικείᾳ.But in order not to delay you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly. 5Want ons het hierdie man gevind as 'n pes en as iemand wat onluste aanstig onder al die Jode oor die hele bewoonde wêreld, en as voorman van die sekte van die Nasareners,εὑρόντες γὰρ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον λοιμὸν καὶ κινοῦντα ⸀στάσεις πᾶσι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τοῖς κατὰ τὴν οἰκουμένην πρωτοστάτην τε τῆς τῶν Ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως,We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes, 6wat selfs probeer het om die tempel te ontheilig, en wat ons ook gegryp het.ὃς καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν ἐπείρασεν βεβηλῶσαι, ὃν καὶ ⸀ἐκρατήσαμεν,and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. 7Hierdie vers kom nie in die grondteks voor nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: en ons wou hom volgens ons wet oordeel. Maar Lisias, die owerste oor duisend, het gekom en hom met groot geweld uit ons hande weggeneem en sy aanklaers beveel om na u toe te kom.

8Van hom sal u self, nadat u hom ondervra het, oor al hierdie dinge kan vasstel waarvan ons hom beskuldig.”παρʼ οὗ δυνήσῃ αὐτὸς ἀνακρίνας περὶ πάντων τούτων ἐπιγνῶναι ὧν ἡμεῖς κατηγοροῦμεν αὐτοῦ.By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.” 9Die Jode het ook saam aangeval en beweer dat hierdie dinge so is.συνεπέθεντο δὲ καὶ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι φάσκοντες ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχειν.The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.

10Paulus het geantwoord nadat die goewerneur vir hom gewink het om te praat: “Omdat ek weet dat u al baie jare 'n regter vir hierdie nasie is, verdedig ek my met goeie moed in verband met my eie sake,Ἀπεκρίθη ⸀τε ὁ Παῦλος νεύσαντος αὐτῷ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος λέγειν· Ἐκ πολλῶν ἐτῶν ὄντα σε κριτὴν τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ ἐπιστάμενος ⸀εὐθύμως τὰ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ ἀπολογοῦμαι,When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense. 11aangesien u kan vasstel dat daar vir my nie meer as twaalf dae is sedert ek opgegaan het om te aanbid in Jerusalem nie.δυναμένου σου ⸀ἐπιγνῶναι, ὅτι οὐ πλείους εἰσίν μοι ἡμέραι ⸀δώδεκα ἀφʼ ἧς ἀνέβην προσκυνήσων ⸀εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ,You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 12en hulle het my nie in die tempel gevind terwyl ek met iemand redeneer of 'n oploop van 'n skare veroorsaak nie, ook nie in die sinagoges nie en ook nie in die stad nie,καὶ οὔτε ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ εὗρόν με πρός τινα διαλεγόμενον ἢ ⸀ἐπίστασιν ποιοῦντα ὄχλου οὔτε ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς οὔτε κατὰ τὴν πόλιν,Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city. 13en hulle kan ook nie aan u bewys lewer van die dinge waarvan hulle my nou aankla nie.⸀οὐδὲ ⸀παραστῆσαι δύνανταί ⸀σοι περὶ ὧν ⸀νυνὶ κατηγοροῦσίν μου.Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me. 14Maar dit bely ek voor u, dat ek volgens die Weg, wat hulle 'n sekte noem, so die God van die vaders dien, terwyl ek alles glo wat volgens die wet is en wat in die profete geskryf staan,ὁμολογῶ δὲ τοῦτό σοι ὅτι κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἣν λέγουσιν αἵρεσιν οὕτως λατρεύω τῷ πατρῴῳ θεῷ, πιστεύων πᾶσι τοῖς κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ ⸂τοῖς ἐν⸃ τοῖς προφήταις γεγραμμένοις,I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets, 15en ek het hoop op God, wat hierdie mense self ook verwag, dat daar 'n opstanding sal wees van regverdiges sowel as van onregverdiges.

Sommige manuskripte lees: dat daar 'n opstanding van die dooies sal wees, van regverdiges sowel as van onregverdiges.

ἐλπίδα ἔχων εἰς τὸν θεόν, ἣν καὶ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι προσδέχονται, ἀνάστασιν μέλλειν ⸀ἔσεσθαι δικαίων τε καὶ ἀδίκων·and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16Hierin oefen ek self ook om altyd 'n gewete sonder aanstoot te hê voor God en die mense.ἐν τούτῳ ⸀καὶ αὐτὸς ἀσκῶ ἀπρόσκοπον συνείδησιν ⸀ἔχειν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους διὰ παντός.In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man. 17Ná verskeie jare het ek gekom om aalmoese vir my volk te bring, en offergawes;διʼ ἐτῶν δὲ πλειόνων ⸂ἐλεημοσύνας ποιήσων εἰς τὸ ἔθνος μου παρεγενόμην⸃ καὶ προσφοράς,After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings. 18Hierin het hulle my gevind, nadat ek gereinig is, in die tempel, nie met 'n skare of met 'n oproer nie.ἐν ⸀αἷς εὗρόν με ἡγνισμένον ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, οὐ μετὰ ὄχλου οὐδὲ μετὰ θορύβου,At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia 19Maar sekere Jode uit Asië, wat voor u teenwoordig moes wees en hulle moes aankla as hulle iets teen my sou hê –τινὲς δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀσίας Ἰουδαῖοι, οὓς ⸀ἔδει ἐπὶ σοῦ παρεῖναι καὶ κατηγορεῖν εἴ τι ἔχοιεν πρὸς ⸀ἐμέ,who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me. 20of laat hierdie mense self sê watter ongeregtigheid hulle gevind het toe ek voor die Sanhedrin gestaan het,ἢ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι εἰπάτωσαν τί ⸀εὗρον ἀδίκημα στάντος μου ἐπὶ τοῦ συνεδρίουOtherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin, 21of oor hierdie een uitspraak wat ek uitgeroep het terwyl ek onder hulle gestaan het: ‘Oor die opstanding van die dooies word ek vandag voor julle geoordeel.’”ἢ περὶ μιᾶς ταύτης φωνῆς ἧς ἐκέκραξα ⸂ἐν αὐτοῖς ἑστὼς⸃ ὅτι Περὶ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν ἐγὼ κρίνομαι σήμερον ⸀ἐφʼ ὑμῶν.unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”

22Maar Feliks, wat noukeuriger kennis gehad het van die dinge aangaande die Weg, het hulle saak uitgestel en gesê: “Wanneer die kommandant Lisias afkom, sal ek oor julle saak beslis.”

Sommige manuskripte lees: Maar toe Feliks hierdie dinge gehoor het, het hy hulle saak uitgestel, omdat hy noukeuriger kennis gehad het van die dinge aangaande die Weg

⸂Ἀνεβάλετο δὲ αὐτοὺς ὁ Φῆλιξ⸃, ἀκριβέστερον εἰδὼς τὰ περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ, ⸀εἴπας· Ὅταν Λυσίας ὁ χιλίαρχος καταβῇ διαγνώσομαι τὰ καθʼ ὑμᾶς·Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.” 23En hy het die hoofman oor honderd beveel dat hy bewaak moes word, maar verligting moes hê, en dat niemand van sy eie mense verhinder moes word om hom te bedien nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: om hom te bedien of na hom toe te kom nie.

⸀διαταξάμενος τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ τηρεῖσθαι ⸀αὐτὸν ἔχειν τε ἄνεσιν καὶ μηδένα κωλύειν τῶν ἰδίων αὐτοῦ ⸀ὑπηρετεῖν αὐτῷ.He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.

24Ná 'n paar dae het Feliks saam met Drusilla, sy eie vrou, wat 'n Jodin was, gekom en Paulus laat haal en hom aangehoor oor die geloof in Christus Jesus.

Sommige manuskripte lees: oor die geloof in Christus.

Μετὰ δὲ ἡμέρας τινὰς παραγενόμενος ὁ Φῆλιξ σὺν Δρουσίλλῃ τῇ ⸀ἰδίᾳ γυναικὶ οὔσῃ Ἰουδαίᾳ μετεπέμψατο τὸν Παῦλον καὶ ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ περὶ τῆς εἰς Χριστὸν ⸀Ἰησοῦν πίστεως.After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus. 25Maar toe hy redeneer oor geregtigheid en selfbeheersing en die komende oordeel, het Feliks bang geword en geantwoord: “Gaan vir eers; wanneer ek 'n geleentheid kry, sal ek jou laat roep.”διαλεγομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ περὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐγκρατείας καὶ τοῦ κρίματος τοῦ ⸀μέλλοντος ἔμφοβος γενόμενος ὁ Φῆλιξ ἀπεκρίθη· Τὸ νῦν ἔχον πορεύου, καιρὸν δὲ μεταλαβὼν μετακαλέσομαί σε·As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.” 26Terselfdertyd het hy ook gehoop dat geld deur Paulus aan hom gegee sou word; daarom het hy hom ook meer dikwels laat haal en met hom gesels.

Sommige manuskripte lees: dat geld deur Paulus aan hom gegee sou word sodat hy hom kon loslaat

ἅμα καὶ ἐλπίζων ὅτι χρήματα δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ὑπὸ τοῦ ⸀Παύλου· διὸ καὶ πυκνότερον αὐτὸν μεταπεμπόμενος ὡμίλει αὐτῷ.At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him. 27Toe twee jaar vol was, het Feliks 'n opvolger gekry, Porcius Festus; en omdat Feliks 'n guns aan die Jode wou bewys, het hy Paulus gebind agtergelaat.

Letterlik: 'n Guns by die Jode wou neerlê.

Διετίας δὲ πληρωθείσης ἔλαβεν διάδοχον ὁ Φῆλιξ Πόρκιον Φῆστον· θέλων τε ⸀χάριτα καταθέσθαι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὁ Φῆλιξ κατέλιπε τὸν Παῦλον δεδεμένον.After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
