| 1 mapa | ¶ Entrando, pois, Festo na província, subiu dali a três dias de Cesaréia a Jerusalém. | Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. |
| 2 | E o sumo sacerdote e os principais dos judeus compareceram perante ele contra Paulo, e lhe rogaram, | And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him, |
| 3 mapa | Pedindo como favor contra ele que o fizesse vir a Jerusalém, armando ciladas para o matarem no caminho. | asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way. |
| 4 mapa | Mas Festo respondeu que Paulo estava guardado em Cesaréia, e que ele brevemente partiria para lá. | Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly. |
| 5 | Os que, pois, disse, dentre vós, têm poder, desçam comigo e, se neste homem houver algum crime, acusem-no. | Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him. |
| 6 mapa | E, havendo-se demorado entre eles mais de dez dias, desceu a Cesaréia; e no dia seguinte, assentando-se no tribunal, mandou que trouxessem Paulo. | And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought. |
| 7 mapa | E, chegando ele, rodearam-no os judeus que haviam descido de Jerusalém, trazendo contra Paulo muitas e graves acusações, que não podiam provar. | And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove; |
| 8 | Mas ele, em sua defesa, disse: Eu não pequei em coisa alguma contra a lei dos judeus, nem contra o templo, nem contra César. | while Paul said in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all. |
| 9 mapa | Todavia Festo, querendo comprazer aos judeus, respondendo a Paulo, disse: Queres tu subir a Jerusalém, e ser lá perante mim julgado acerca destas coisas? | But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? |
| 10 | Mas Paulo disse: Estou perante o tribunal de César, onde convém que seja julgado; não fiz agravo algum aos judeus, como tu muito bem sabes. | But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest. |
| 11 | Se fiz algum agravo, ou cometi alguma coisa digna de morte, não recuso morrer; mas, se nada há das coisas de que estes me acusam, ninguém me pode entregar a eles; apelo para César. | If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is [true] whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar. |
| 12 | Então Festo, tendo falado com o conselho, respondeu: Apelaste para César? para César irás. | Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go. |
| 13 mapa | ¶ E, passados alguns dias, o rei Agripa e Berenice vieram a Cesaréia, a saudar Festo. | Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus. |
| 14 | E, como ali ficassem muitos dias, Festo contou ao rei os negócios de Paulo, dizendo: Um certo homem foi deixado por Félix aqui preso, | And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the King, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix; |
| 15 mapa | Por cujo respeito os principais dos sacerdotes e os anciãos dos judeus, estando eu em Jerusalém, compareceram perante mim, pedindo sentença contra ele. | about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him. |
| 16 | Aos quais respondi não ser costume dos romanos entregar algum homem à morte, sem que o acusado tenha presentes os seus acusadores, e possa defender-se da acusação. | To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him. |
| 17 | De sorte que, chegando eles aqui juntos, no dia seguinte, sem fazer dilação alguma, assentado no tribunal, mandei que trouxessem o homem. | When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought. |
| 18 | Acerca do qual, estando presentes os acusadores, nenhuma coisa apontaram daquelas que eu suspeitava. | Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed; |
| 19 | Tinham, porém, contra ele algumas questões acerca da sua superstição, e de um tal Jesus, morto, que Paulo afirmava viver. | but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. |
| 20 mapa | E, estando eu perplexo acerca da inquirição desta causa, disse se queria ir a Jerusalém, e lá ser julgado acerca destas coisas. | And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters. |
| 21 | E, apelando Paulo para que fosse reservado ao conhecimento de Augusto, mandei que o guardassem até que o envie a César. | But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar. |
| 22 | Então Agripa disse a Festo: Bem quisera eu também ouvir esse homem. E ele disse: Amanhã o ouvirás. | And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him. |
| 23 | E, no dia seguinte, vindo Agripa e Berenice, com muito aparato, entraram no auditório com os tribunos e homens principais da cidade, sendo trazido Paulo por mandado de Festo. | So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in. |
| 24 mapa | E Festo disse: Rei Agripa, e todos os senhores que estais presentes conosco; aqui vedes um homem de quem toda a multidão dos judeus me tem falado, tanto em Jerusalém como aqui, clamando que não convém que viva mais. | And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer. |
| 25 | Mas, achando eu que nenhuma coisa digna de morte fizera, e apelando ele mesmo também para Augusto, tenho determinado enviar-lho. | But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him. |
| 26 | Do qual não tenho coisa alguma certa que escreva ao meu senhor, e por isso perante vós o trouxe, principalmente perante ti, ó rei Agripa, para que, depois de interrogado, tenha alguma coisa que escrever. | Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write. |
| 27 | Porque me parece contra a razão enviar um preso, e não notificar contra ele as acusações. | For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him. |
