1Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
1A v tých dňoch, keď sa množili učeníci, povstalo reptanie hellenistov proti Hebrejom, že pri každodennej obsluhe venuje sa ich vdovám menej pozornosti.
2And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables.
2Vtedy si svolali tí dvanásti množstvo učeníkov a povedali: Neľúbi sa to, aby sme my opustili slovo Božie a obsluhovali stoly.
3Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
3A tak obzrite sa, bratia, po siedmich dobropovestných mužoch zpomedzi seba, plných Svätého Ducha a múdrosti, ktorých ustanovíme k tejto práci,
4But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
4a my budeme snažne zotrvávať na modlitbe a v službe slova.
5And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch;
5A ľúbilo sa slovo všetkému množstvu, a vyvolili si Štefana, muža plného viery a Svätého Ducha, a Filipa a Prochóra a Nikanora a Timóna a Parména a Mikuláša, antiochenského prozelyta,
6whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.
6ktorých postavili pred apoštolov a pomodliac sa vzložili na nich ruky.
7And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
7A slovo Božie rástlo, a počet učeníkov sa množil v Jeruzaleme veľmi. I veľký zástup kňazov bol poslušný viere.
8And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
8A Štefan, plný viery, milosti a moci, činil veliké zázraky a divy medzi ľudom.
9But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
9Ale povstali niektorí z tej tak zvanej synagógy Libertínov, Cyréňanov a Alexandríncov a z tých, ktorí boli z Cilície a z Ázie, a dohadovali sa so Štefanom,
10And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.
10a nemohli odolať múdrosti a duchu, ktorým hovoril.
11Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
11Vtedy podhodili mužov, ktorí hovorili: Počuli sme ho hovoriť rúhavé slová proti Mojžišovi a proti Bohu.
12And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,
12A tak vzbúrili ľud i starších i zákonníkov a prijdúc na neho schvatli ho a zaviedli pred vysokú radu
13and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:
13a postavili falošných svedkov, ktorí hovorili: Tento človek neprestáva hovoriť rúhavé slová proti tomuto svätému miestu a proti zákonu.
14for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.
14Lebo sme ho počuli hovoriť, že ten Nazarejský Ježiš zborí toto miesto a zmení obyčaje, ktoré nám podal Mojžiš.
15And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
15A všetci, ktorí sedeli vo vysokej rade, upreli na neho oči a videli jeho tvár ako čo by tvár anjela.
