¹And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

¹A keď sme už boli zachránení, vtedy sme poznali, že sa ostrov volá Melita.

²And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

²A tamojší barbari nám preukázali neobyčajnú ľudomilnosť, lebo rozložili oheň a prijali nás všetkých pre dážď, ktorý bol vtedy, a pre zimu.

³And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

³A keď nasbieral Pavel hromadu raždia a priložil na oheň, vyšla vretenica z tepla a pripäla sa mu na ruku.

⁴And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

⁴A jako videli barbari zviera, že visí s jeho ruky, hovorili si medzi sebou: Tento človek je istotne vrah, ktorému, hoci sa zachránil z mora, nedala pomsta žiť.

⁵And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

⁵Ale on striasol zviera do ohňa, a nestalo sa mu nič zlého.

⁶Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

⁶Oni však očakávali, že opuchne alebo že padne razom mŕtvy. Ale keď zaveľa čakali a videli, že sa mu len nič zlého nedeje, zmenili svoju mienku a vraveli, že je boh.

⁷In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

⁷A na okolí toho miesta mal polia najpoprednejší človek ostrova, menom Publius, ktorý nás prijal a tri dni priateľsky hostil.

⁸And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

⁸A stalo sa, že otec Publiov ležal trápený horúčkou a červienkou, ku ktorému vošiel Pavel, pomodlil sa, vzložil na neho ruky a uzdravil ho.

⁹So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

⁹A keď sa to stalo, prichádzali aj ostatní na ostrove, ktorí boli nemocní, a boli uzdravení,

¹⁰Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

¹⁰ktorí nás i mnohými cťami ctili, a keď sme sa mali odplaviť, nakládli, čo bolo treba na cestu.

¹¹And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

¹¹A po troch mesiacoch sme sa odplavili na alexandrínskej lodi, ktorá zimovala na ostrove a mala za odznak Dioskúrov.

¹²And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

¹²A keď sme sa doplavili do Syrakúz, pobudli sme tam tri dni,

¹³And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

¹³odkiaľ sme išli okolo a prišli sme do Regia, a keď o deň neskoršie vial poludniak, prišli sme na druhý deň do Potiól,

¹⁴Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

¹⁴kde sme našli bratov, ktorí nás prosili, žeby sme zostali u nich sedem dní, a tak sme prišli do Ríma.

¹⁵And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

¹⁵A odtiaľ bratia, keď počuli o nás, prišli nám naproti až po Apiovo Forum, po námestie Apiovo, a ku Tres tabernä, ku Trom krčmám. A keď ich videl Pavel, poďakoval Bohu, rozveselil sa a nabral smelosti.

¹⁶And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

¹⁶A keď sme vošli do Ríma, stotník oddal väzňov hlavnému veliteľovi, ale Pavlovi bolo dovolené bývať osebe s vojakom, ktorý ho strážil.

¹⁷And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

¹⁷A stalo sa, že po troch dňoch si svolal Pavel popredných zo Židov, a keď sa sišli, hovoril im: Ja, mužovia bratia, hoci som neurobil ničoho na priekor izraelskému ľudu alebo proti otcovským obyčajam, vydaný som z Jeruzalema jako väzeň do rúk Rimanom,

¹⁸Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

¹⁸ktorí, keď ma vyšetrili, chceli ma prepustiť, pretože nie je na mne nijakej viny, pre ktorú by som bol hodný smrti.

¹⁹But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

¹⁹Ale keď Židia protirečili tomu, bol som prinútený odvolať sa na cisára, no, nie ako čo by som mal niečo žalovať na svoj národ.

²⁰For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

²⁰A tak pre tú príčinu som vás povolal, aby som vás videl a poshováral sa s vami. Lebo pre nádej Izraelovu som poviazaný touto reťazou.

²¹And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

²¹A oni mu povedali: My sme nedostali ani písma o tebe z Judska, ani neprišiel nikto z bratov, ktorý by nám bol zvestoval alebo hovoril niečo zlé o tebe.

²²But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

²²Ale uznávame za dobré počuť od teba, jako smýšľaš. Lebo o tejto sekte nám je známe, že sa jej všade protivia.

²³And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

²³A keď mu určili deň, prišli k nemu viacerí do jeho bytu. A on im vykladal vec a svedčil pevne o kráľovstve Božom a presviedčal ich o Ježišovi, jako zo zákona Mojžišovho, tak z prorokov, od rána až do večera.

²⁴And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

²⁴A jedni verili tomu, čo hovoril, druhí neverili.

²⁵And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

²⁵A tak nie súc jednomyseľní medzi sebou rozchádzali sa, keď povedal Pavel to jedno slovo: Dobre hovoril Svätý Duch skrze proroka Izaiáša našim otcom,

²⁶Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

²⁶keď povedal: Idi k tomuto ľudu a povedz: Počuť, áno počujete, ale neporozumejte a hľadieť, i hľadieť budete, ale nevidzte!

²⁷For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

²⁷Lebo stučnelo srdce tohoto ľudu, a ušami ťažko počuli a svoje oči zažmúrili, aby snáď nejako očami nevideli, ušami nepočuli, srdcom neporozumeli a neobrátili sa, a uzdravil by som ich.

²⁸Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

²⁸Nech vám je teda známe, že je pohanom poslané toto spasenie Božie, a oni aj budú počúvať.

²⁹And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

²⁹A keď to povedal, odišli Židia veľmi sa medzi sebou dohadujúc.

³⁰And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

³⁰A Pavel zostal celé dva roky v byte, ktorý si sám najal, a prijímal všetkých, ktorí prichádzali k nemu,

³¹Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

³¹a kázal kráľovstvo Božie a učil o Pánu Ježišu Kristovi úplne smele a bez prekážky.
