¹Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

¹A najvyšší kňaz povedal: Či je teda tomu tak?

²And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

²A on riekol: Mužovia bratia a otcovia, počujte! Bôh slávy sa ukázal nášmu otcovi Abrahámovi, keď bol v Mezopotámii, prv ako býval v Chárane,

³And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

³a povedal mu: Vyjdi zo svojej zeme a zo svojho príbuzenstva a poď do zeme, ktorú ti ukážem.

⁴Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

⁴Vtedy vyšiel zo zeme Chaldejov a býval v Chárane, a odtiaľ, keď zomrel jeho otec, ho prestehoval do tejto zeme, v ktorej teraz vy bývate.

⁵And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

⁵A nedal mu v nej dedičstva ani na stopu nohy a zasľúbil, že mu ju dá do vlastníctva i jeho semenu po ňom, vtedy, keď ešte nemal dieťaťa.

⁶And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.

⁶A takto povedal Bôh, že totiž jeho semä bude pohostínom v cudzej zemi, a zotročia ho a budú s ním zle nakladať štyristo rokov.

⁷And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

⁷Ale národ, ktorému budú slúžiť, budem ja súdiť, povedal Bôh, a potom vyjdú a budú mi svätoslúžiť na tomto mieste.

⁸And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

⁸A dal mu smluvu obriezky, a tak splodil Izáka a obrezal ho ôsmeho dňa, a Izák splodil Jakoba a Jakob dvanástich patriarchov.

⁹And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

⁹A patriarchovia závidiac Jozefovi predali ho do Egypta, ale Bôh bol s ním

¹⁰And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹⁰a vytrhol si ho zo všetkých jeho súžení a dal mu milosť a múdrosť pred faraonom, kráľom Egypta, a ustanovil ho za správcu nad Egyptom i nad celým svojím domom.

¹¹Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

¹¹Potom prišiel hlad na celý Egypt a na Kanaán a veľké súženie, a naši otcovia nachádzali potravín.

¹²But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

¹²A keď počul Jakob, že je obilie v Egypte, vyslal najprv našich otcov,

¹³And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

¹³a po druhé sa dal Jozef poznať svojim bratom, a faraon sa dozvedel o rode Jozefovom.

¹⁴Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

¹⁴Vtedy poslal Jozef povolať k sebe Jakoba, svojho otca, a celú svoju rodinu v sedemdesiatich piatich dušiach.

¹⁵So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

¹⁵A Jakob sišiel dolu do Egypta a zomrel on i naši otcovia,

¹⁶And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

¹⁶a preniesli ich do Sichema a pochovali v hrobe, ktorý bol kúpil Abrahám za cenu striebra od synov Emora, otca Sichemovho.

¹⁷But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁷Ale jako sa blížil čas zasľúbenia, ktoré s prísahou dal Bôh Abrahámovi, rástol ľud a množil sa v Egypte,

¹⁸Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

¹⁸dokiaľ nepovstal iný kráľ nad Egyptom, ktorý neznal Jozefa.

¹⁹The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.

¹⁹Ten preľstil náš rod a tak trápil našich otcov, že museli vyhadzovať svoje nemluvňatá, aby nezostaly nažive.

²⁰In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:

²⁰V tom čase sa narodil Mojžiš a bol krásny Bohu, a chovali ho tri mesiace v dome jeho otca.

²¹And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

²¹A keď ho vyložili, zdvihla a vzala ho dcéra faraonova a vychovala si ho sebe za syna.

²²And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

²²A vyučili Mojžiša všetkej múdrosti Egypťanov, a bol mocný vo svojich slovách i skutkoch.

²³And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

²³A keď mu bolo štyridsať rokov, vzišlo na jeho srdce, aby navštívil svojich bratov, synov Izraelových.

²⁴And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

²⁴A vidiac ktoréhosi z nich, že sa mu krivdí, zastal sa ho a pomstil toho, ktorému sa diala krivda, zabijúc Egypťana.

²⁵For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

²⁵A domnieval sa, že jeho bratia rozumejú, že im Bôh skrze jeho ruku podáva záchranu. Ale oni neporozumeli.

²⁶And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

²⁶Potom nasledujúceho dňa sa im ukázal, keď sa vadili, a hnal ich k pokoju a povedal: Mužovia, bratia ste, prečo si navzájom krivdíte?

²⁷But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁷Ale ten, ktorý krivdil blížnemu, odsotil ho a povedal: Kto teba ustanovil za knieža alebo za sudcu nad nami?

²⁸Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

²⁸Či ma ty chceš zabiť, ako si včera zabil toho Egypťana?

²⁹Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

²⁹A Mojžiš utiekol pre to slovo a stal sa pohostínom v Madiansku, kde splodil dvoch synov.

³⁰And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.

³⁰A keď sa naplnilo zase štyridsať rokov, ukázal sa mu anjel Pánov na púšti vrchu Sinai v plameni ohňa, vystupujúcom z kra.

³¹When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,

³¹A keď to videl Mojžiš, divil sa videniu a keď sa išiel podívať na to, povedal mu hlas Pánov:

³²Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

³²Ja som Bôh tvojich otcov, Bôh Abrahámov, Bôh Izákov a Bôh Jakobov. A Mojžiš sa zhrozil, až sa triasol od strachu a neopovážil sa pozrieť.

³³Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

³³A Pán mu povedal: Sozuj svoju obuv so svojich nôh, lebo miesto, na ktorom stojíš, je svätá zem.

³⁴I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

³⁴Videl, áno videl som trápenie svojho ľudu, ktorý je v Egypte, a počul som ich vzdychanie a sostúpil som, aby som ich vyslobodil. A tak teraz poď, nech ťa pošlem do Egypta.

³⁵This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

³⁵Toho Mojžiša, ktorého zapreli povediac: Kto teba ustanovil za knieža alebo za sudcu? práve toho poslal Bôh ako knieža a vykupiteľa prostredníctvom anjela, ktorý sa mu ukázal v kre.

³⁶He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

³⁶Ten ich vyviedol učiniac zázraky a divy v Egypte i na Červenom mori i na púšti, a tak to robil štyridsať rokov.

³⁷This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

³⁷To je ten Mojžiš, ktorý povedal synom Izraelovým: Proroka vám vzbudí Pán, váš Bôh, zpomedzi vašich bratov, ako mňa, toho budete poslúchať.

³⁸This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

³⁸To je ten, ktorý to bol v sbore ľudu na púšti s anjelom, ktorý mu hovoril na vrchu Sinai, i s našimi otcami, ktorý prijal živé slová, aby ich dal nám,

³⁹To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

³⁹ktorého nechceli poslúchať naši otcovia, ale ho odsotili a obrátili sa svojimi srdcami do Egypta

⁴⁰Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

⁴⁰povediac Áronovi: Sprav nám bohov, ktorí pojdú pred nami, lebo ten Mojžiš, ktorý nás vyviedol s Egyptskej zeme, nevieme, čo sa mu stalo.

⁴¹And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

⁴¹A spravili si v tých dňoch teľa a obetovali modle obeť a veselili sa v dielach svojich rúk.

⁴²Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

⁴²Ale Bôh sa odvrátil a vydal ich, aby slúžili nebeskému vojsku, jako je napísané v knihe prorokov: Či ste mi azda za štyridsať rokov doniesli bitné a iné obeti na púšti, dome Izraelov?

⁴³Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

⁴³A vzali ste a nosili stán Molochov a hviezdu svojho boha Remfana, podoby, ktorých ste si narobili, aby ste sa im klaňali, a preto vás presídlim ta za Babylon.

⁴⁴Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.

⁴⁴Stán svedoctva mali naši otcovia na púšti, jako bol nariadil ten, ktorý hovoril Mojžišovi, aby ho urobil podľa vzoru, ktorý bol videl,

⁴⁵Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

⁴⁵ktorý to stán prevzali naši otcovia i vniesli s Jozuom do zeme, ktorá bola vlastníctvom pohanov, ktorých Bôh vyhnal zpred tvári našich otcov, čo tak trvalo až do dní Dávida,

⁴⁶Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁶ktorý našiel milosť pred Bohom a prosil, žeby smel najsť príbytok Bohu Jakobovmu.

⁴⁷But Solomon built him an house.

⁴⁷A Šalamún mu vystavil dom.

⁴⁸Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

⁴⁸Ale Najvyšší nebýva v chrámoch, učinených rukou, jako hovorí prorok:

⁴⁹Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

⁴⁹Nebo mi je trónom a zem podnožou mojim nohám; akýže mi vystavíte dom? hovorí Pán. Alebo kde jaké je miesto môjho odpočinku?

⁵⁰Hath not my hand made all these things?

⁵⁰Či toho všetkého neučinila moja ruka?

⁵¹Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

⁵¹Tvrdošijní a neobrezaného srdca aj uší, vy sa vždycky protivíte Svätému Duchu, jako vaši otcovia, tak aj vy.

⁵²Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

⁵²Ktoréhože z prorokov neprenasledovali vaši otcovia? A pobili tých, ktorí predzvestovali o príchode toho Spravedlivého, ktorého ste sa vy teraz stali zradcami a vrahmi,

⁵³Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

⁵³ktorí ste vzali zákon na nariadenia anjelov a nezachovali ste.

⁵⁴When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

⁵⁴A keď to počuli, bolo im, ako by ich bodnul do srdca, a zúriac v hneve škrípali zubami na neho.

⁵⁵But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁵A on súc plný Svätého Ducha uprel zrak do neba a videl slávu Božiu a Ježiša stáť po pravici Božej

⁵⁶And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

⁵⁶a povedal: Hľa, vidím nebesia otvorené a Syna človeka stáť po pravici Božej!

⁵⁷Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

⁵⁷A oni skríkli velikým hlasom, zapchali si uši a jednomyseľne sa vrhli na neho

⁵⁸And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

⁵⁸a vyženúc ho von z mesta kameňovali. A svedkovia si složili svoje rúcha k nohám mládenca, ktorý sa volal Saul.

⁵⁹And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵⁹A kameňovali Štefana, ktorý volal na Pána a hovoril: Pane Ježišu, prijmi môjho ducha!

⁶⁰And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

⁶⁰A skloniac kolená skríkol velikým hlasom: Pane, nepočítaj im tohoto hriechu! A keď to povedal, usnul.

⁶¹A Saul súhlasil s jeho zabitím.
