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

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

²until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit 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 he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning 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, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from 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 indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

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

⁶They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore 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 times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.

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, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and 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 said these things, as they were looking, 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 were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, 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,

¹¹who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going 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 nigh unto Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey off.

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 the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [the son] 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 with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, 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 these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a hundred and twenty),

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

¹⁶Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who 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 among us, and received his portion in this ministry.

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

¹⁸(Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his 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 became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, 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 made desolate, And let no man dwell therein: and, His office 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!

²¹Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went 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 the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become 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 put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, 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, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom 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,

²⁵to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, 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 lots for them; 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.
