¹Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

¹Keď tedy prišiel Festus do provincie, odišiel po troch dňoch z Cezáree hore do Jeruzalema.

²And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,

²A prišli k nemu najvyšší kňazi a prední zo Židov so žalobou proti Pavlovi a prosili ho

³asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.

³a žiadali si milosť proti nemu, žeby poslal po neho a dal ho doviesť do Jeruzalema strojac úklady, aby ho na ceste zabili.

⁴Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly.

⁴Ale Festus odpovedal, že Pavel má byť strážený v Cezárei, ale že sám jednako naskore odcestuje,

⁵Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.

⁵a tak vraj tí, ktorí z vás môžu, nech odídu so mnou ta dolu, a jestli je na človekovi nejaká vina, nech žalujú na neho.

⁶And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

⁶A ztráviac medzi nimi nie viac ako osem alebo desať dní odišiel dolu do Cezáree a na druhý deň sadol na súdnu stolicu a rozkázal doviesť Pavla.

⁷And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove;

⁷A keď prišiel, obstúpili ho z Jeruzalema dolu prišlí Židia a snášali proti Pavlovi mnohé a ťažké žaloby, ktoré nemohli dokázať,

⁸while Paul said in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.

⁸keď sa bránil Pavel a hovoril: Ani proti zákonu Židov, ani proti chrámu ani proti cisárovi som sa ničím neprehrešil.

⁹But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

⁹Ale Festus chcúc si získať priazeň u Židov odpovedal Pavlovi a riekol: Či chceš ísť hore do Jeruzalema a byť tam súdený o to predo mnou?

¹⁰But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.

¹⁰Ale Pavel odpovedal: Stojím pred súdnou stolicou cisárovou, tam, kde mám byť súdený. Židom som ničím neukrivdil, ako aj ty dobre vieš.

¹¹If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is [true] whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

¹¹Lebo ak krivdím a spáchal som niečo hodné smrti, nezdráham sa zomrieť; ale ak je nič, čo títo na mňa žalujú, nikto im ma nemôže darovať. Na cisára sa odvolávam!

¹²Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go.

¹²Vtedy Festus poshovárajúc sa s radou odpovedal: Na cisára si sa odvolal, pred cisára pojdeš.

¹³Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus.

¹³A keď pominulo niekoľko dní, prišli do Cezáree kráľ Agrippa i Bernika pozdraviť Festa.

¹⁴And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the King, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

¹⁴A jako tam trávili viacej dní, predniesol Festus kráľovi vec Pavlovu a povedal: Felix tu zanechal nejakého muža, väzňa,

¹⁵about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him.

¹⁵o ktorého, keď som bol v Jeruzaleme, prišli ku mne najvyšší kňazi a starší Židov a žiadali ho odsúdiť,

¹⁶To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

¹⁶ktorým som odpovedal, že Rimania nemajú obyčaje darovať niektorého človeka a vydať na záhubu, prv ako by obžalovaný bol mal žalobníkov zoči-voči a bol dostal príležitosť brániť sa proti obvineniu.

¹⁷When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

¹⁷A tak keď sa sem sišli, bez akéhokoľvek odkladu som sadol nasledujúci deň na súdnu stolicu a rozkázal som doviesť človeka,

¹⁸Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;

¹⁸ktorého obstúpili žalobníci, ale ho nevinili nijakými takými zločinmi, o jakých som sa ja domnieval.

¹⁹but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

¹⁹Ale mali s ním akési škriepky o svoje vlastné náboženstvo a o jakéhosi zomrelého Ježiša, o ktorom istil Pavel, že žije.

²⁰And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.

²⁰A ja súc v rozpakoch ohľadom sporu o také veci vravel som, či by chcel ísť do Jeruzalema a tam byť súdený o to.

²¹But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.

²¹Ale keď sa Pavel odvolal aby bol strážený, až ako rozpozná jeho veličenstvo, rozkázal som, aby ho strážili, dokiaľ ho nepošlem k cisárovi.

²²And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.

²²A Agrippa povedal Festovi: Chcel by som i sám počuť človeka. A on riekol: Zajtra ho počuješ.

²³So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.

²³A tak na druhý deň, keď prišiel Agrippa i Bernika s veľkou okázalosťou, a vošli do posluchárne s tisícnikmi a vynikajúcimi mužmi mesta, rozkázal Festus, a doviedli Pavla.

²⁴And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

²⁴A Festus povedal: Kráľu Agrippa i všetci tu s nami prítomní mužovia, vidíte tohoto, o ktorého ma prosilo celé to množstvo Židov, ako v Jeruzaleme tak i tu, a kričali, že nesmie ďalej žiť.

²⁵But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

²⁵No, ja som pochopil, že neurobil ničoho, za čo by bol hoden smrti, a keď sa i tento sám odvolal na jeho veličenstvo, usúdil som poslať ho,

²⁶Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.

²⁶o ktorom nemám čo istého napísať pánovi, preto som ho predviedol pred vás, a zvlášte pred teba, kráľu Agrippa, aby som po vyšetrení mal čo napísať.

²⁷For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.

²⁷Lebo sa mi zdá byť nerozumným poslať väzňa a neudať i toho, jaká je proti nemu žaloba.
