¹The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

¹Prvú knihu som napísal, Teofíle, o všetkom, čo započal Ježiš činiť a učiť,

²Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

²až do toho dňa, ktorého vzatý bol hore do neba, keď už bol dal skrze Svätého Ducha prikázania apoštolom, ktorých si vyvolil,

³To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

³ktorým sa aj zjavoval živý po svojom utrpení mnohými dôkazmi ukazujúc sa im štyridsať dní a hovoriac s nimi o kráľovstve Božom.

⁴And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

⁴A shromažďujúc sa s nimi prikazoval im, aby neodchádzali z Jeruzalema, ale aby čakali zasľúbenie Otcovo, o ktorom zasľúbení ste vraj počuli od mňa;

⁵For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

⁵totiž že Ján krstil vodou, ale vy budete pokrstení Svätým Duchom už o nie mnoho dní.

⁶When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

⁶A oni síduc sa pýtali sa ho a vraveli: Pane, či v tomto čase obnovíš Izraelovi kráľovstvo?

⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

⁷A on im povedal: To nie je vašou vecou zvedieť časy alebo jednotlivé doby, ktoré si Otec uložil vo svojej vlastnej moci,

⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

⁸ale prijmete moc Svätého Ducha, ktorý prijde na vás, a budete mi svedkami i v Jeruzaleme i po celom Judsku i v Samárii a tak až do poslednej končiny zeme.

⁹And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹A keď to povedal, zdvihnutý bol hore, kým oni hľadeli na to, a podňal ho oblak a vzal zpred ich očí.

¹⁰And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

¹⁰A jako v tom, čo odchádzal, upretým zrakom hľadeli do neba, tu hľa, dvaja mužovia sa postavili vedľa nich v bielom rúchu,

¹¹Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

¹¹ktorí aj povedali: Galilejskí mužovia, čo tu stojíte a hľadíte do neba? Tento Ježiš, ktorí bol vzatý od vás hore do neba, prijde tak, ako ste ho videli ísť do neba.

¹²Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

¹²Vtedy sa vrátili do Jeruzalema s vrchu, zvaného Olivového, ktorý je blízko Jeruzalema, na cestu sobotného dňa od neho.

¹³And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

¹³A keď vošli do mesta, vyšli do vrchnej dvorany, kde sa zdržovali Peter a Jakob a Ján a Andrej, Filip a Tomáš, Bartolomeus a Matúš, Jakob Alfeov a Šimon Zelóta, Horlivec, a Júdas Jakobov.

¹⁴These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁴Títo všetci zotrvávali jednomyseľne na modlitbe a v pokornej prosbe so ženami a s Máriou, matkou Ježišovou, i s jeho bratmi.

¹⁵And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

¹⁵A v tých dňoch vstal Peter v strede učeníkov (a bol tam vovedne zástup tak asi sto dvadsať duší) a povedal:

¹⁶Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

¹⁶Mužovia bratia, muselo sa naplniť písmo, ktoré predpovedal Svätý Duch skrze ústa Dávidove o Judášovi, ktorý sa stal vodcom tým, ktorí zajali Ježiša,

¹⁷For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

¹⁷pretože bol počítaný k nám a bol dostal podiel na tejto službe.

¹⁸Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

¹⁸Ten si teda nadobudol pole za mzdu neprávosti a svaliac sa strmhlav rozpukol sa napoly, a vykydly sa všetky jeho vnútornosti.

¹⁹And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

¹⁹A stalo sa to známym všetkým, ktorí bývajú v Jeruzaleme, takže je nazvané to pole ich vlastným nárečím: Akeldama, to jest Pole krvi.

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

²⁰Lebo je napísané v knihe žalmov: Nech je jeho príbytok pustý, a nech nie je nikoho, kto by býval v ňom! a: Jeho biskupstvo nech vezme iný!

²¹Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²¹Musí teda jeden z týchto mužov, ktorí sa s nami schádzali po celý čas, v ktorom Pán Ježiš vchádzal a vychádzal, žil a obcoval medzi nami,

²²Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

²²počnúc od krstu Jánovho až do dňa, v ktorom bol vzatý od nás hore do neba, byť s nami svedkom jeho zmŕtvychvstania.

²³And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²³A tak postavili dvoch, Jozefa, zvaného Barsabáša, ktorý mal prímeno Justus, Spravedlivý, a Mateja.

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

²⁴A pomodliac sa povedali: Ty, Pane, ktorý znáš srdcia všetkých ľudí, ukáž, prosíme, z týchto dvoch toho jedného, ktorého si si vyvolil,

²⁵That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

²⁵aby dostal podiel na tejto službe a na apoštolstve, odkiaľ odstúpil Judáš, aby odišiel na svoje vlastné miesto.

²⁶And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

²⁶A dali im losy, a los padol na Mateja, a bol spolu počítaný s jedonástimi apoštolmi.
