¹And the high priest said, Are these things so?

¹A najvyšší kňaz povedal: Či je teda tomu tak?

²And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken: The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

²A on riekol: Mužovia bratia a otcovia, počujte! Bôh slávy sa ukázal nášmu otcovi Abrahámovi, keď bol v Mezopotámii, prv ako býval v Chárane,

³and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.

³a povedal mu: Vyjdi zo svojej zeme a zo svojho príbuzenstva a poď do zeme, ktorú ti ukážem.

⁴Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, [God] removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:

⁴Vtedy vyšiel zo zeme Chaldejov a býval v Chárane, a odtiaľ, keď zomrel jeho otec, ho prestehoval do tejto zeme, v ktorej teraz vy bývate.

⁵and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child.

⁵A nedal mu v nej dedičstva ani na stopu nohy a zasľúbil, že mu ju dá do vlastníctva i jeho semenu po ňom, vtedy, keď ešte nemal dieťaťa.

⁶And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat them ill, four hundred years.

⁶A takto povedal Bôh, že totiž jeho semä bude pohostínom v cudzej zemi, a zotročia ho a budú s ním zle nakladať štyristo rokov.

⁷And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

⁷Ale národ, ktorému budú slúžiť, budem ja súdiť, povedal Bôh, a potom vyjdú a budú mi svätoslúžiť na tomto mieste.

⁸And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

⁸A dal mu smluvu obriezky, a tak splodil Izáka a obrezal ho ôsmeho dňa, a Izák splodil Jakoba a Jakob dvanástich patriarchov.

⁹And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,

⁹A patriarchovia závidiac Jozefovi predali ho do Egypta, ale Bôh bol s ním

¹⁰and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹⁰a vytrhol si ho zo všetkých jeho súžení a dal mu milosť a múdrosť pred faraonom, kráľom Egypta, a ustanovil ho za správcu nad Egyptom i nad celým svojím domom.

¹¹Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

¹¹Potom prišiel hlad na celý Egypt a na Kanaán a veľké súženie, a naši otcovia nachádzali potravín.

¹²But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.

¹²A keď počul Jakob, že je obilie v Egypte, vyslal najprv našich otcov,

¹³And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's race became manifest unto Pharaoh.

¹³a po druhé sa dal Jozef poznať svojim bratom, a faraon sa dozvedel o rode Jozefovom.

¹⁴And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

¹⁴Vtedy poslal Jozef povolať k sebe Jakoba, svojho otca, a celú svoju rodinu v sedemdesiatich piatich dušiach.

¹⁵And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself and our fathers;

¹⁵A Jakob sišiel dolu do Egypta a zomrel on i naši otcovia,

¹⁶and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

¹⁶a preniesli ich do Sichema a pochovali v hrobe, ktorý bol kúpil Abrahám za cenu striebra od synov Emora, otca Sichemovho.

¹⁷But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁷Ale jako sa blížil čas zasľúbenia, ktoré s prísahou dal Bôh Abrahámovi, rástol ľud a množil sa v Egypte,

¹⁸till there arose another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

¹⁸dokiaľ nepovstal iný kráľ nad Egyptom, ktorý neznal Jozefa.

¹⁹The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.

¹⁹Ten preľstil náš rod a tak trápil našich otcov, že museli vyhadzovať svoje nemluvňatá, aby nezostaly nažive.

²⁰At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father's house.

²⁰V tom čase sa narodil Mojžiš a bol krásny Bohu, a chovali ho tri mesiace v dome jeho otca.

²¹and when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

²¹A keď ho vyložili, zdvihla a vzala ho dcéra faraonova a vychovala si ho sebe za syna.

²²And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.

²²A vyučili Mojžiša všetkej múdrosti Egypťanov, a bol mocný vo svojich slovách i skutkoch.

²³But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

²³A keď mu bolo štyridsať rokov, vzišlo na jeho srdce, aby navštívil svojich bratov, synov Izraelových.

²⁴And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:

²⁴A vidiac ktoréhosi z nich, že sa mu krivdí, zastal sa ho a pomstil toho, ktorému sa diala krivda, zabijúc Egypťana.

²⁵and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.

²⁵A domnieval sa, že jeho bratia rozumejú, že im Bôh skrze jeho ruku podáva záchranu. Ale oni neporozumeli.

²⁶And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

²⁶Potom nasledujúceho dňa sa im ukázal, keď sa vadili, a hnal ich k pokoju a povedal: Mužovia, bratia ste, prečo si navzájom krivdíte?

²⁷But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁷Ale ten, ktorý krivdil blížnemu, odsotil ho a povedal: Kto teba ustanovil za knieža alebo za sudcu nad nami?

²⁸Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?

²⁸Či ma ty chceš zabiť, ako si včera zabil toho Egypťana?

²⁹And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.

²⁹A Mojžiš utiekol pre to slovo a stal sa pohostínom v Madiansku, kde splodil dvoch synov.

³⁰And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

³⁰A keď sa naplnilo zase štyridsať rokov, ukázal sa mu anjel Pánov na púšti vrchu Sinai v plameni ohňa, vystupujúcom z kra.

³¹And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,

³¹A keď to videl Mojžiš, divil sa videniu a keď sa išiel podívať na to, povedal mu hlas Pánov:

³²I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

³²Ja som Bôh tvojich otcov, Bôh Abrahámov, Bôh Izákov a Bôh Jakobov. A Mojžiš sa zhrozil, až sa triasol od strachu a neopovážil sa pozrieť.

³³And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

³³A Pán mu povedal: Sozuj svoju obuv so svojich nôh, lebo miesto, na ktorom stojíš, je svätá zem.

³⁴I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

³⁴Videl, áno videl som trápenie svojho ľudu, ktorý je v Egypte, a počul som ich vzdychanie a sostúpil som, aby som ich vyslobodil. A tak teraz poď, nech ťa pošlem do Egypta.

³⁵This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent [to be] both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

³⁵Toho Mojžiša, ktorého zapreli povediac: Kto teba ustanovil za knieža alebo za sudcu? práve toho poslal Bôh ako knieža a vykupiteľa prostredníctvom anjela, ktorý sa mu ukázal v kre.

³⁶This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

³⁶Ten ich vyviedol učiniac zázraky a divy v Egypte i na Červenom mori i na púšti, a tak to robil štyridsať rokov.

³⁷This is that Moses, who said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.

³⁷To je ten Mojžiš, ktorý povedal synom Izraelovým: Proroka vám vzbudí Pán, váš Bôh, zpomedzi vašich bratov, ako mňa, toho budete poslúchať.

³⁸This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him in the Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us:

³⁸To je ten, ktorý to bol v sbore ľudu na púšti s anjelom, ktorý mu hovoril na vrchu Sinai, i s našimi otcami, ktorý prijal živé slová, aby ich dal nám,

³⁹to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,

³⁹ktorého nechceli poslúchať naši otcovia, ale ho odsotili a obrátili sa svojimi srdcami do Egypta

⁴⁰saying unto Aaron, Make us gods that shall go before us: for as for this Moses, who led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

⁴⁰povediac Áronovi: Sprav nám bohov, ktorí pojdú pred nami, lebo ten Mojžiš, ktorý nás vyviedol s Egyptskej zeme, nevieme, čo sa mu stalo.

⁴¹And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

⁴¹A spravili si v tých dňoch teľa a obetovali modle obeť a veselili sa v dielach svojich rúk.

⁴²But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴²Ale Bôh sa odvrátil a vydal ich, aby slúžili nebeskému vojsku, jako je napísané v knihe prorokov: Či ste mi azda za štyridsať rokov doniesli bitné a iné obeti na púšti, dome Izraelov?

⁴³And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The figures which ye made to worship them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

⁴³A vzali ste a nosili stán Molochov a hviezdu svojho boha Remfana, podoby, ktorých ste si narobili, aby ste sa im klaňali, a preto vás presídlim ta za Babylon.

⁴⁴Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen.

⁴⁴Stán svedoctva mali naši otcovia na púšti, jako bol nariadil ten, ktorý hovoril Mojžišovi, aby ho urobil podľa vzoru, ktorý bol videl,

⁴⁵Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, that God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

⁴⁵ktorý to stán prevzali naši otcovia i vniesli s Jozuom do zeme, ktorá bola vlastníctvom pohanov, ktorých Bôh vyhnal zpred tvári našich otcov, čo tak trvalo až do dní Dávida,

⁴⁶who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁶ktorý našiel milosť pred Bohom a prosil, žeby smel najsť príbytok Bohu Jakobovmu.

⁴⁷But Solomon built him a house.

⁴⁷A Šalamún mu vystavil dom.

⁴⁸Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands; as saith the prophet,

⁴⁸Ale Najvyšší nebýva v chrámoch, učinených rukou, jako hovorí prorok:

⁴⁹The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?

⁴⁹Nebo mi je trónom a zem podnožou mojim nohám; akýže mi vystavíte dom? hovorí Pán. Alebo kde jaké je miesto môjho odpočinku?

⁵⁰Did not my hand make all these things?

⁵⁰Či toho všetkého neučinila moja ruka?

⁵¹Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.

⁵¹Tvrdošijní a neobrezaného srdca aj uší, vy sa vždycky protivíte Svätému Duchu, jako vaši otcovia, tak aj vy.

⁵²Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them that showed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers;

⁵²Ktoréhože z prorokov neprenasledovali vaši otcovia? A pobili tých, ktorí predzvestovali o príchode toho Spravedlivého, ktorého ste sa vy teraz stali zradcami a vrahmi,

⁵³ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.

⁵³ktorí ste vzali zákon na nariadenia anjelov a nezachovali ste.

⁵⁴Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

⁵⁴A keď to počuli, bolo im, ako by ich bodnul do srdca, a zúriac v hneve škrípali zubami na neho.

⁵⁵But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁵A on súc plný Svätého Ducha uprel zrak do neba a videl slávu Božiu a Ježiša stáť po pravici Božej

⁵⁶and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

⁵⁶a povedal: Hľa, vidím nebesia otvorené a Syna človeka stáť po pravici Božej!

⁵⁷But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;

⁵⁷A oni skríkli velikým hlasom, zapchali si uši a jednomyseľne sa vrhli na neho

⁵⁸and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁵⁸a vyženúc ho von z mesta kameňovali. A svedkovia si složili svoje rúcha k nohám mládenca, ktorý sa volal Saul.

⁵⁹And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [the Lord], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵⁹A kameňovali Štefana, ktorý volal na Pána a hovoril: Pane Ježišu, prijmi môjho ducha!

⁶⁰And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

⁶⁰A skloniac kolená skríkol velikým hlasom: Pane, nepočítaj im tohoto hriechu! A keď to povedal, usnul.

⁶¹A Saul súhlasil s jeho zabitím.
