¹And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

¹A Saul ešte vždycky dýchal hrozbou a vraždou na učeníkov Pánových a išiel k najvyššiemu kňazovi

²And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

²a vyžiadal si od neho listy do Damašku na tamojšie synagógy, aby, jestli by tam našiel niektorých mužov alebo ženy tej cesty, doviedol ich sviazaných do Jeruzalema.

³And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

³A v tom, čo išiel, stalo sa, že sa už blížil Damašku, a zrazu ho obkľúčilo svetlo z neba,

⁴And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁴a padnúc na zem počul hlas, ktorý mu hovoril: Saule, Saule, prečo ma prenasleduješ?

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

⁵A on povedal: Kto si, Pane? A Pán povedal: Ja som Ježiš, ktorého ty prenasleduješ, tvrdo ti bude proti ostňu sa vzpečovať.

⁶And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁶A on trasúc a desiac sa povedal: Pane, čo chceš, aby som učinil? A Pán jemu: Vstaň a vojdi do mesta, a povie sa ti, čo máš robiť.

⁷And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

⁷A mužovia, ktorí s ním spolu cestovali, stáli ohromení, bez slova, ktorí síce hlas počuli, ale nevideli nikoho.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁸Potom vstal Saul so zeme, ale keď sa mu otvorily oči, nevidel nikoho. Vtedy ho pojali za ruku a voviedli do Damašku.

⁹And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

⁹A bol tak tri dni, čo nevidel, a nejedol ani nepil.

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

¹⁰A bol nejaký učeník v Damašku, menom Ananiáš, ktorému riekol Pán vo videní: Ananiášu! A on povedal: Tu som Pane.

¹¹And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

¹¹A Pán zase jemu: Vstaň a idi do ulice, ktorá sa volá Priama, a vyhľadaj v dome Júdovom Saula, menom Tarzenského, lebo hľa, modlí sa.

¹²And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

¹²(A Saul videl vo videní muža, menom Ananiáša, ktorý vošiel k nemu a položil ne neho ruky, aby prezrel).

¹³Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹³A Ananiáš odpovedal: Pane, počul som od mnohých ľudí o tomto mužovi, jako mnoho zlého učinil tvojim svätým v Jeruzaleme.

¹⁴And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

¹⁴A má aj tu moc od najvyšších kňazov poviazať všetkých, ktorí vzývajú tvoje meno.

¹⁵But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁵Ale Pán mu povedal: Iď, lebo on mi je vyvolenou nádobou, aby zaniesol moje meno i pred pohanov i pred kráľov i pred synov Izraelových.

¹⁶For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

¹⁶Lebo ja mu ukážem, ako mnoho musí on pretrpieť za moje meno.

¹⁷And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷Vtedy odišiel Ananiáš a vošiel do domu a položiac na neho ruky povedal: Saule, bratu, Pán ma poslal, Ježiš, ktorý sa ti ukázal na ceste, ktorou si išiel sem, aby si prezrel a bol naplnený Svätým Duchom.

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

¹⁸A hneď spadly s jeho očí jako čo by lupiny, a prezrel naskutku a vstal a dal sa pokrstiť

¹⁹And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

¹⁹a prijal pokrm a posilnil sa. A bol niekoľko dní s učeníkmi, ktorí boli v Damašku.

²⁰And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰A hneď hlásal v synagógach Ježiša Krista, že je on Syn Boží.

²¹But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

²¹A žasli všetci, ktorí to počuli, a vraveli: Či toto nie je ten, ktorý to hubil v Jeruzaleme tých, ktorí vzývajú to meno? A sem tiež prišiel nato, aby ich poviazaných odviedol pred najvyšších kňazov.

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

²²Ale Saul čoraz mocnel a miatol dôvodmi Židov, ktorí bývali v Damašku, dokazujúc, že on, Ježiš, je Kristus.

²³And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:

²³A keď už bolo pominulo hodne dní, uradili sa medzi sebou Židia zabiť ho.

²⁴But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

²⁴Ale Saul zvedel o ich úklade. A striehli aj brány vodne i vnoci, aby ho zabili.

²⁵Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

²⁵Ale učeníci ho pojali vnoci a spustili cez múr spustiac ho po povraze v pletenci.

²⁶And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

²⁶A keď prišiel Saul do Jeruzalema, pokúšal sa pridružiť sa učeníkom; ale sa ho báli všetci, pretože mu neverili, že by bol učeníkom.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

²⁷Ale Barnabáš ho pojal a zaviedol k apoštolom a porozprával im, ako videl na ceste Pána, a že s ním hovoril, a jako v Damašku smele hovoril v mene Ježišovom.

²⁸And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

²⁸A bol s nimi vchádzajúc a vychádzajúc, v Jeruzaleme.

²⁹And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

²⁹A hovoril smele v mene Pána Ježiša a vravel a hádal sa s hellenistami, a oni sa pokúšali zabiť ho.

³⁰Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³⁰Ale keď o tom zvedeli bratia, zaviedli ho dolu do Cezáree a vyslali ho do Tarzu.

³¹Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

³¹A tak sbory po celom Judsku a po Galilei a Samárii maly pokoj vzdelávajúc sa a chodiac v bázni Pánovej a rozhojňovaly sa techou Svätého Ducha.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

³²A stalo sa, keď chodil Peter po nich po všetkých, že sišiel i k svätým, ktorí bývali v Lydde.

³³And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

³³A našiel tam nejakého človeka, menom Eneáša, ktorý už od ôsmich rokov ležal na posteli a ktorý bol porazený.

³⁴And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

³⁴A Peter mu povedal: Eneášu, Ježiš Kristus ťa uzdravuje. Vstaň a posteľ si. A hneď vstal.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

³⁵A videli ho všetci, ktorí bývali v Lydde a v Sárone, ktorí sa obrátili k Pánovi.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁶A v Joppe bola istá učenica, menom Tabita, čo znamená v preklade Dorkas čiže Laň. Tá bola plná dobrých skutkov a milodarov, ktoré dávala.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

³⁷A stalo sa v tých dňoch, že onemocnela a zomrela. A keď ju umyli, položili ju vo vrchnom príbytku.

³⁸And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.

³⁸A keďže bola Lydda blízko Joppy, a keď počuli učeníci, že je tam Peter, poslali k nemu dvoch mužov a prosili: Neváhaj prijsť až k nám.

³⁹Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

³⁹A Peter vstal a išiel s nimi. A keď ta prišiel, vyviedli ho do vrchného príbytku, a obstúpily ho všetky tie vdovy plačúc a ukazovaly sukne a plášte, ktoré im robila Dorkas, dokiaľ bola s nimi.

⁴⁰But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴⁰Vtedy vyhnal Peter všetkých von a skloniac kolená modlil sa a obrátiac sa k mŕtvemu telu povedal: Tabita, vstaň! A ona otvorila oči, a keď videla Petra, posadila sa.

⁴¹And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

⁴¹A on jej podal ruku a zodvihol ju. Potom zavolal svätých a vdovy a postavil ju pred nich živú.

⁴²And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

⁴²A zvedeli o tom po celej Joppe, a mnohí uverili na Pána.

⁴³And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

⁴³A stalo sa, že zostal v Joppe za hodne dní u istého Šimona koželuha.
