Μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ παρ' αὐτοῦ πρότερον καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ
Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
וְעָֽמְדוּ שְׁנֵֽי-הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר-לָהֶם הָרִיב לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לִפְנֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַשֹּׁפְטִים אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵֽם׃
Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
μηνυθείσης δέ μοι ἐπιβουλῆς εἰς τὸν ἄνδρα μελλείν ἔσεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐξαυτῆς ἔπεμψα πρὸς σέ παραγγείλας καὶ τοῖς κατηγόροις λέγειν τὰ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σοῦ Ἔῤῥωσο
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
ὁ μὲν οὖν Φῆστος ἀπεκρίθη τηρεῖσθαι τὸν Παῦλον ἐν Καισαρείᾳ ἑαυτὸν δὲ μέλλειν ἐν τάχει ἐκπορεύεσθαι·
But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
צַדִּיק הָרִאשׁוֹן בְּרִיבוֹ (יבא) וּבָֽא-רֵעֵהוּ וַחֲקָרֽוֹ׃
He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
Ἀγρίππας δὲ πρὸς τὸν Παῦλον ἔφη Ἐπιτρέπεταί σοι ὑπὲρ σεαυτοῦ λέγειν τότε ὁ Παῦλος ἀπελογεῖτο ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר בְּטֶרֶם יִשְׁמָע אִוֶּלֶת הִיא-לוֹ וּכְלִמָּֽה׃
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
וְהֻֽגַּד-לְךָ וְשָׁמָעְתָּ וְדָֽרַשְׁתָּ הֵיטֵב וְהִנֵּה אֱמֶת נָכוֹן הַדָּבָר נֶֽעֶשְׂתָה הַתּֽוֹעֵבָה הַזֹּאת בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
