1“诸位父兄请听，我现在对你们。”“Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”
2众人听他说的是希伯来话，就更加安静了。When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more quiet. Then Paul declared,
3保罗说：“我原是犹太人，生在基利家的大数，长在这城里，在，按着我们祖宗的律法受教，热心事奉 神，像你们众人今日一样。“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.
4我也曾逼迫奉的人，直到死地，无论男女都锁拿下监。I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,
5这是大祭司和众长老都可以给我作见证的。我又领了他们达与弟兄的书信，往去，要把在那里奉这道的人锁拿，带到耶路撒冷受刑。”as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.
6“我将到大马士革，正走的时候，约在，忽然从天上发大光，四面照着我。About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.
7我就仆倒在地，听见有声音对我说：‘扫罗！扫罗！你为什么逼迫我？’I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’
8我回答说：‘主啊，你是谁？’他说：‘我就是你所逼迫的拿撒勒人耶稣。’‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ He replied.
9与我同行的人看见了那光，却没有听明那位对我说话的声音。My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me.
10我说：‘主啊，我当做什么？’主说：‘起来，进大马士革去，在那里，要将所派你做的一切事告诉你。’Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ ‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’
11我因那光的荣耀不能看见，同行的人就拉着我手进了大马士革。Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.
12那里有一个人，名叫，按着律法是虔诚人，为一切住在那里的犹太人所称赞。There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,
13他来见我，站在旁边，对我说：‘兄弟扫罗，你可以看见。’我当时往上一看，就看见了他。came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him.
14他又说：‘我们祖宗的 神拣选了你，叫你明白他的旨意，又得见，听他口中所出的声音。Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear His voice.
15因为你要将所看见的，所听见的，对着万人为他作见证。You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard.
16现在你为什么呢？起来，求告他的名受洗，洗去你的罪。’”And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’
17“后来，我回到耶路撒冷，在殿里祷告的时候，，Later, when I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance
18看见主向我说：‘你赶紧地离开耶路撒冷，不可迟延；因你为我作的见证，这里的人必不领受。’and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’
19我就说：‘主啊，他们知道我从前把信你的人收在监里，又在各会堂里鞭打他们。‘Lord,’ I answered, ‘they know very well that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in You.
20并且你的见证人被害流血的时候，我也站在旁边欢喜；又看守害死他之人的衣裳。’And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’
21主向我说：‘你去吧！我要差你远远地往外邦人那里去。’”Then He said to me, ‘Go! I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
22众人听他说到这句话，就高声说：“这样的人，从世上除掉他吧！他是不当活着的。”The crowd listened to Paul until he made this statement. Then they lifted up their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!”
23众人喧嚷，，把尘土向空中扬起来。As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,
24千夫长就吩咐将保罗带进营楼去，叫人用鞭子拷问他，要知道他们向他这样喧嚷是为什么缘故。the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be flogged and interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him.
25刚用捆上，保罗对旁边站着的百夫长说：“人是，又没有定罪，你们就鞭打他，有这个例吗？”But as they stretched him out to strap him down, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it lawful for you to flog a Roman citizen without a trial?”
26百夫长听见这话，就去见千夫长，告诉他说：“你要做什么？这人是罗马人。”On hearing this, the centurion went and reported it to the commander. “What are you going to do?” he said. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
27千夫长就来问保罗说：“你告诉我，你是罗马人吗？”保罗说：“是。”The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes,” he answered.
28千夫长说：“我用许多银子才入了罗马的。”保罗说：“我生来就是。”“I paid a high price for my citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
29于是那些要拷问保罗的人就离开他去了。千夫长既知道他是罗马人，又因为捆绑了他，也害怕了。At once those who were about to interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.
30第二天，千夫长为要知道犹太人控告保罗的，便解开他，吩咐祭司长和全的人都聚集，将保罗带下来，叫他站在他们面前。The next day the commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
