¹And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.

¹Vtedy pozrel bystro Pavel na vysokú radu a povedal: Mužovia bratia, ja som celým svedomím dobrým obcoval pred Bohom až do tohoto dňa.

²And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

²Ale najvyšší kňaz Ananiáš rozkázal tým, ktorí stali pri ňom, aby ho bili po ústach.

³Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

³Vtedy mu povedal Pavel: Bude teba biť Bôh, obielená steno! A ty sedíš, aby si ma súdil podľa zákona, a proti zákonu ma velíš biť?

⁴And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

⁴A tí, ktorí tam stáli, povedali: Najvyššiemu kňazovi Božiemu zlorečíš?

⁵And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.

⁵A Pavel riekol: Nevedel som, bratia, že je najvyšší kňaz, lebo je napísané: Kniežaťu svojho ľudu nebudeš zlorečiť!

⁶But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

⁶A zvediac Pavel, že jedna čiastka ich je sadúceov a druhá farizeov, kričal vo vysokej rade: Mužovia bratia! Ja som farizeus, syn farizeov. Pre nádej pre zmŕtvychvstanie mŕtvych som ja súdený!

⁷And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.

⁷A keď to povedal, povstal rozbroj medzi farizei a medzi sadúcei, a rozdvojilo sa množstvo.

⁸For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

⁸Lebo sadúceovia hovoria, že nieto zmŕtvychvstania ani anjela ani ducha, a farizeovia vyznávajú oboje.

⁹And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?

⁹A povstal veliký krik, a vstali niektorí učení Písma čiastky farizeov a preli sa a vraveli: Nenachádzame ničoho zlého na tomto človekovi. A jestli s ním hovoril duch alebo anjel? Neborme sa s Bohom!

¹⁰And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.

¹⁰A keď povstal veliký rozbroj, a pretože sa obával tisícnik, aby neroztrhali Pavla, dal vojsku povel, aby sišlo a vytrhlo ho spomedzi nich a odviedlo do tábora.

¹¹And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

¹¹A nasledujúcej noci zastal k nemu Pán a povedal: Neboj sa, Pavle, lebo jako si pevne o mne svedčil v Jeruzaleme, tak musíš svedčiť aj v Ríme.

¹²And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

¹²A keď bol deň, srotili sa niektorí Židia, a zakliali sa, že vraj nebudú ani jesť ani piť, dokiaľ nezabijú Pavla.

¹³And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy.

¹³A bolo ich viac ako štyridsať, ktorí sa tak sprisahali.

¹⁴And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

¹⁴A prišli k najvyšším kňazom a starším a povedali: Veľmi sme sa zakliali, že neokúsime ničoho, dokiaľ nezabijeme Pavla.

¹⁵Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him.

¹⁵Tak teraz vy dajte vedieť tisícnikovi aj s vysokou radou, aby ho zajtra doviedol dolu k vám, ako čo by ste chceli dôkladnejšie zvedieť o ňom a o jeho veci; a my, prv ako sa priblíži, hotoví sme ho zabiť.

¹⁶But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.

¹⁶Ale keď počul o úklade syn sestry Pavlovej, prišiel a vošiel do tábora a oznámil to Pavlovi.

¹⁷And Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.

¹⁷A Pavel si zavolal jedného zo stotníkov a povedal: Zaveď tohoto mládenca k tisícnikovi, lebo mu má niečo oznámiť.

¹⁸So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and saith, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say to thee.

¹⁸A tak ho pojal a zaviedol k tisícnikovi a povedal: Väzeň Pavel si ma zavolal a prosil, žeby som zaviedol tohoto mládenca k tebe, že má niečo s tebou hovoriť.

¹⁹And the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that thou hast to tell me?

¹⁹A tisícnik si ho pojal za ruku a odíduc s ním okreme vypytoval sa: Čo je to, čo mi máš oznámiť?

²⁰And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him.

²⁰A on povedal: Židia sa sriekli, že ťa poprosia, žeby si zajtra doviedol Pavla dolu do vysokej rady, jako čo by sa chceli čosi dôkladnejšie vypytovať o ňom.

²¹Do not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee.

²¹Ale ty sa im nedaj nahovoriť, lebo mu úkladia z nich viac ako štyridsiati chlapi, ktorí sa zakliali, že nebudú ani jesť ani piť, dokiaľ ho nezabijú. A teraz sú hotoví a čakajú prisľúbenie od teba.

²²So the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me.

²²Vtedy prepustil tisícnik mládenca a prikázal, aby nevravel nikomu, že mu to oznámil.

²³And he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night:

²³Potom si zavolal ktorýchsi dvoch zo stotníkov a povedal: Prihotovte dvesto vojakov, aby išli až do Cezáree a sedemdesiat jazdcov a dvesto kopijníkov od tretej hodiny vnoci.

²⁴and [he bade them] provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

²⁴A rozkázal priviesť i hovädá, aby vysadili Pavla a dopravili zdravého k vladárovi Felixovi.

²⁵And he wrote a letter after this form:

²⁵A napísal list takéhoto obsahu:

²⁶Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.

²⁶Klaudius Lyziáš vzkazuje výbornému vladárovi Felixovi pozdravenie.

²⁷This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

²⁷Tohoto človeka boli zajali Židia a mali ho zabiť; ale som prišiel s vojskom a vytrhnul som ho z ich moci dozvediac sa, že je Riman.

²⁸And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council:

²⁸A chcúc dokonale zvedieť príčinu, pre ktorú na neho žalujú, zaviedol som ho dolu pred ich vysokú radu

²⁹whom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

²⁹a našiel som, že žalujú na neho o jakési otázky svojho zákona, ale že nemá nijakej žaloby proti sebe, prečo by bol hoden smrti alebo pút.

³⁰And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee.

³⁰A keď mi potom bolo povedané o úklade, ktorý strojili Židia človekovi, hneď som ho poslal k tebe rozkážuc i žalobníkom, aby to, čo majú proti nemu, rozpovedali u teba. Maj sa dobre!

³¹So the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

³¹A tak vojaci, jako im bolo nariadené, pojali Pavla a odviedli cez noc do Antipatridy

³²But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

³²a druhého dňa nechajúc jazdcov, aby odišli s ním, navrátili sa do tábora.

³³and they, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

³³A keď tamtí vošli do Cezáree a odovzdali vladárovi list, postavili pred neho i Pavla.

³⁴And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,

³⁴A keď prečítal vladár písmo, opýtal sa ho, z ktorej je provincie, a keď sa dozvedel že z Cilície,

³⁵I will hear thee fully, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod's palace.

³⁵povedal: Vypočujem ťa dôkladne, keď tu budú i tvoji žalobníci. A dal rozkaz, aby ho strážili v paláci Heródesovom.
