¹And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita.

¹A keď sme už boli zachránení, vtedy sme poznali, že sa ostrov volá Melita.

²And the barbarians showed us no common kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

²A tamojší barbari nám preukázali neobyčajnú ľudomilnosť, lebo rozložili oheň a prijali nás všetkých pre dážď, ktorý bol vtedy, a pre zimu.

³But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

³A keď nasbieral Pavel hromadu raždia a priložil na oheň, vyšla vretenica z tepla a pripäla sa mu na ruku.

⁴And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live.

⁴A jako videli barbari zviera, že visí s jeho ruky, hovorili si medzi sebou: Tento človek je istotne vrah, ktorému, hoci sa zachránil z mora, nedala pomsta žiť.

⁵Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm.

⁵Ale on striasol zviera do ohňa, a nestalo sa mu nič zlého.

⁶But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

⁶Oni však očakávali, že opuchne alebo že padne razom mŕtvy. Ale keď zaveľa čakali a videli, že sa mu len nič zlého nedeje, zmenili svoju mienku a vraveli, že je boh.

⁷Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously.

⁷A na okolí toho miesta mal polia najpoprednejší človek ostrova, menom Publius, ktorý nás prijal a tri dni priateľsky hostil.

⁸And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.

⁸A stalo sa, že otec Publiov ležal trápený horúčkou a červienkou, ku ktorému vošiel Pavel, pomodlil sa, vzložil na neho ruky a uzdravil ho.

⁹And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:

⁹A keď sa to stalo, prichádzali aj ostatní na ostrove, ktorí boli nemocní, a boli uzdravení,

¹⁰who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.

¹⁰ktorí nás i mnohými cťami ctili, a keď sme sa mali odplaviť, nakládli, čo bolo treba na cestu.

¹¹And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers.

¹¹A po troch mesiacoch sme sa odplavili na alexandrínskej lodi, ktorá zimovala na ostrove a mala za odznak Dioskúrov.

¹²And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

¹²A keď sme sa doplavili do Syrakúz, pobudli sme tam tri dni,

¹³And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;

¹³odkiaľ sme išli okolo a prišli sme do Regia, a keď o deň neskoršie vial poludniak, prišli sme na druhý deň do Potiól,

¹⁴where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome.

¹⁴kde sme našli bratov, ktorí nás prosili, žeby sme zostali u nich sedem dní, a tak sme prišli do Ríma.

¹⁵And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

¹⁵A odtiaľ bratia, keď počuli o nás, prišli nám naproti až po Apiovo Forum, po námestie Apiovo, a ku Tres tabernä, ku Trom krčmám. A keď ich videl Pavel, poďakoval Bohu, rozveselil sa a nabral smelosti.

¹⁶And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.

¹⁶A keď sme vošli do Ríma, stotník oddal väzňov hlavnému veliteľovi, ale Pavlovi bolo dovolené bývať osebe s vojakom, ktorý ho strážil.

¹⁷And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:

¹⁷A stalo sa, že po troch dňoch si svolal Pavel popredných zo Židov, a keď sa sišli, hovoril im: Ja, mužovia bratia, hoci som neurobil ničoho na priekor izraelskému ľudu alebo proti otcovským obyčajam, vydaný som z Jeruzalema jako väzeň do rúk Rimanom,

¹⁸who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me.

¹⁸ktorí, keď ma vyšetrili, chceli ma prepustiť, pretože nie je na mne nijakej viny, pre ktorú by som bol hodný smrti.

¹⁹But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation.

¹⁹Ale keď Židia protirečili tomu, bol som prinútený odvolať sa na cisára, no, nie ako čo by som mal niečo žalovať na svoj národ.

²⁰For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with [me]: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

²⁰A tak pre tú príčinu som vás povolal, aby som vás videl a poshováral sa s vami. Lebo pre nádej Izraelovu som poviazaný touto reťazou.

²¹And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee.

²¹A oni mu povedali: My sme nedostali ani písma o tebe z Judska, ani neprišiel nikto z bratov, ktorý by nám bol zvestoval alebo hovoril niečo zlé o tebe.

²²But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.

²²Ale uznávame za dobré počuť od teba, jako smýšľaš. Lebo o tejto sekte nám je známe, že sa jej všade protivia.

²³And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded [the matter,] testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

²³A keď mu určili deň, prišli k nemu viacerí do jeho bytu. A on im vykladal vec a svedčil pevne o kráľovstve Božom a presviedčal ich o Ježišovi, jako zo zákona Mojžišovho, tak z prorokov, od rána až do večera.

²⁴And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

²⁴A jedni verili tomu, čo hovoril, druhí neverili.

²⁵And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers,

²⁵A tak nie súc jednomyseľní medzi sebou rozchádzali sa, keď povedal Pavel to jedno slovo: Dobre hovoril Svätý Duch skrze proroka Izaiáša našim otcom,

²⁶saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

²⁶keď povedal: Idi k tomuto ľudu a povedz: Počuť, áno počujete, ale neporozumejte a hľadieť, i hľadieť budete, ale nevidzte!

²⁷For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest, haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.

²⁷Lebo stučnelo srdce tohoto ľudu, a ušami ťažko počuli a svoje oči zažmúrili, aby snáď nejako očami nevideli, ušami nepočuli, srdcom neporozumeli a neobrátili sa, a uzdravil by som ich.

²⁸Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear.

²⁸Nech vám je teda známe, že je pohanom poslané toto spasenie Božie, a oni aj budú počúvať.

²⁹[And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.]

²⁹A keď to povedal, odišli Židia veľmi sa medzi sebou dohadujúc.

³⁰And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him,

³⁰A Pavel zostal celé dva roky v byte, ktorý si sám najal, a prijímal všetkých, ktorí prichádzali k nemu,

³¹preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him.

³¹a kázal kráľovstvo Božie a učil o Pánu Ježišu Kristovi úplne smele a bez prekážky.
