¹Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

¹Keď tedy prišiel Festus do provincie, odišiel po troch dňoch z Cezáree hore do Jeruzalema.

²Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

²A prišli k nemu najvyšší kňazi a prední zo Židov so žalobou proti Pavlovi a prosili ho

³And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

³a žiadali si milosť proti nemu, žeby poslal po neho a dal ho doviesť do Jeruzalema strojac úklady, aby ho na ceste zabili.

⁴But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

⁴Ale Festus odpovedal, že Pavel má byť strážený v Cezárei, ale že sám jednako naskore odcestuje,

⁵Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

⁵a tak vraj tí, ktorí z vás môžu, nech odídu so mnou ta dolu, a jestli je na človekovi nejaká vina, nech žalujú na neho.

⁶And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

⁶A ztráviac medzi nimi nie viac ako osem alebo desať dní odišiel dolu do Cezáree a na druhý deň sadol na súdnu stolicu a rozkázal doviesť Pavla.

⁷And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

⁷A keď prišiel, obstúpili ho z Jeruzalema dolu prišlí Židia a snášali proti Pavlovi mnohé a ťažké žaloby, ktoré nemohli dokázať,

⁸While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.

⁸keď sa bránil Pavel a hovoril: Ani proti zákonu Židov, ani proti chrámu ani proti cisárovi som sa ničím neprehrešil.

⁹But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

⁹Ale Festus chcúc si získať priazeň u Židov odpovedal Pavlovi a riekol: Či chceš ísť hore do Jeruzalema a byť tam súdený o to predo mnou?

¹⁰Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

¹⁰Ale Pavel odpovedal: Stojím pred súdnou stolicou cisárovou, tam, kde mám byť súdený. Židom som ničím neukrivdil, ako aj ty dobre vieš.

¹¹For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

¹¹Lebo ak krivdím a spáchal som niečo hodné smrti, nezdráham sa zomrieť; ale ak je nič, čo títo na mňa žalujú, nikto im ma nemôže darovať. Na cisára sa odvolávam!

¹²Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

¹²Vtedy Festus poshovárajúc sa s radou odpovedal: Na cisára si sa odvolal, pred cisára pojdeš.

¹³And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.

¹³A keď pominulo niekoľko dní, prišli do Cezáree kráľ Agrippa i Bernika pozdraviť Festa.

¹⁴And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

¹⁴A jako tam trávili viacej dní, predniesol Festus kráľovi vec Pavlovu a povedal: Felix tu zanechal nejakého muža, väzňa,

¹⁵About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.

¹⁵o ktorého, keď som bol v Jeruzaleme, prišli ku mne najvyšší kňazi a starší Židov a žiadali ho odsúdiť,

¹⁶To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

¹⁶ktorým som odpovedal, že Rimania nemajú obyčaje darovať niektorého človeka a vydať na záhubu, prv ako by obžalovaný bol mal žalobníkov zoči-voči a bol dostal príležitosť brániť sa proti obvineniu.

¹⁷Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

¹⁷A tak keď sa sem sišli, bez akéhokoľvek odkladu som sadol nasledujúci deň na súdnu stolicu a rozkázal som doviesť človeka,

¹⁸Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:

¹⁸ktorého obstúpili žalobníci, ale ho nevinili nijakými takými zločinmi, o jakých som sa ja domnieval.

¹⁹But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

¹⁹Ale mali s ním akési škriepky o svoje vlastné náboženstvo a o jakéhosi zomrelého Ježiša, o ktorom istil Pavel, že žije.

²⁰And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

²⁰A ja súc v rozpakoch ohľadom sporu o také veci vravel som, či by chcel ísť do Jeruzalema a tam byť súdený o to.

²¹But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

²¹Ale keď sa Pavel odvolal aby bol strážený, až ako rozpozná jeho veličenstvo, rozkázal som, aby ho strážili, dokiaľ ho nepošlem k cisárovi.

²²Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

²²A Agrippa povedal Festovi: Chcel by som i sám počuť človeka. A on riekol: Zajtra ho počuješ.

²³And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.

²³A tak na druhý deň, keď prišiel Agrippa i Bernika s veľkou okázalosťou, a vošli do posluchárne s tisícnikmi a vynikajúcimi mužmi mesta, rozkázal Festus, a doviedli Pavla.

²⁴And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

²⁴A Festus povedal: Kráľu Agrippa i všetci tu s nami prítomní mužovia, vidíte tohoto, o ktorého ma prosilo celé to množstvo Židov, ako v Jeruzaleme tak i tu, a kričali, že nesmie ďalej žiť.

²⁵But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

²⁵No, ja som pochopil, že neurobil ničoho, za čo by bol hoden smrti, a keď sa i tento sám odvolal na jeho veličenstvo, usúdil som poslať ho,

²⁶Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

²⁶o ktorom nemám čo istého napísať pánovi, preto som ho predviedol pred vás, a zvlášte pred teba, kráľu Agrippa, aby som po vyšetrení mal čo napísať.

²⁷For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

²⁷Lebo sa mi zdá byť nerozumným poslať väzňa a neudať i toho, jaká je proti nemu žaloba.
