¹And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

¹A toho dňa povstalo veľké prenasledovanie na cirkev, ktorá bola v Jeruzaleme, a všetci sa rozpŕchli po krajoch Judska a Samárie, krome apoštolov.

²And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

²A pobožní mužovia pochovali Štefana a plakali veľmi nad ním.

³But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.

³A Saul len hubil cirkev vnikajúc do domov a vláčil mužov i ženy a dával ich do žalára.

⁴They therefore that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word.

⁴A tak tí, ktorí sa rozpŕchli, prešli každý svojou stranou a zvestovali slovo.

⁵And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ.

⁵A Filip sišiel do mesta Samárie a kázal im Krista.

⁶And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.

⁶A zástupy jednomyseľne pozorovaly na to, čo hovoril Filip, čujúc a vidiac divy, ktoré činil.

⁷For [from] many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed.

⁷Lebo z mnohých, ktorí mali nečistých duchov, vychádzali duchovia a kričali velikým hlasom, aj mnohí porazení a chromí boli uzdravení.

⁸And there was much joy in that city.

⁸A povstala veliká radosť v tom meste.

⁹But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

⁹A nejaký muž, menom Šimon, prevádzal predtým v tom meste čary a plnil samársky národ úžasom hovoriac o sebe, že je kýmsi velikým,

¹⁰to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great.

¹⁰na ktorého pozorovali všetci od malého až do veľkého a hovorili: Tento je tou velikou mocou Božou.

¹¹And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.

¹¹A pozorovali na neho preto, že ich za dlhý čas naplňoval úžasom svojimi čary.

¹²But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

¹²Ale keď uverili Filipovi, ktorý im zvestoval o kráľovstve Božom a o mene Pána Ježiša Krista, krstili sa mužovia a ženy.

¹³And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed.

¹³A uveril aj sám Šimon a keď bol pokrstený, pridŕžal sa Filipa. A vidiac, že sa dejú divy a veľké moci, žasnul.

¹⁴Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

¹⁴A keď počuli apoštolovia, ktorí boli v Jeruzaleme, že Samária prijala slovo Božie, poslali k nim Petra a Jána,

¹⁵who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:

¹⁵ktorí, keď ta sišli, modlili sa za nich, žeby dostali Svätého Ducha,

¹⁶for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁶lebo ešte nebol sostúpil na niktorého z nich, a boli len pokrstení v meno Pána Ježiša.

¹⁷Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Vtedy vzkladali na nich ruky, a dostávali Svätého Ducha.

¹⁸Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

¹⁸A keď videl Šimon, že vzkladaním rúk apoštolov dáva sa Svätý Duch, doniesol im peniaze

¹⁹saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹a povedal: Dajte i mne tú moc, aby ten, na koho by som položil ruky, dostal Svätého Ducha.

²⁰But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

²⁰A Peter mu povedal: Tvoje peniaze nech sú i s tebou na zatratenie, pretože si sa domnieval, že dar Boží možno nadobudnúť si za peniaze.

²¹Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.

²¹Nemáš dielu ani losu v tejto veci, lebo tvoje srdce nie je priame pred Bohom.

²²Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.

²²Preto čiň pokánie z tejto svojej nešľachetnosti a pros Pána, ak by ti azda mohol byť odpustený úmysel tvojho srdca,

²³For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.

²³lebo vidím, že si v horkej žlči a v putách neprávosti.

²⁴And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.

²⁴A Šimon odpovedal a riekol: Proste vy za mňa u Pána, žeby neprišlo na mňa nič z toho, čo ste povedali.

²⁵They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

²⁵A oni osvedčiac dôrazne a pohovoriac slovo Pánovo vrátili sa do Jeruzalema a cestou zvestovali v mnohých samaritánskych mestečkách evanjelium.

²⁶But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

²⁶A anjel Pánov prehovoril k Filipovi a povedal: Vstaň a idi smerom na poludnie, na cestu, ktorá vedie z Jeruzalema dolu do Gazy. Tá cesta je pustá.

²⁷And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;

²⁷A vstal a išiel. A hľa, videl muža Ethiopa, eunúcha, veľmoža Kandáky, kráľovnej Ethiopov, ktorý bol nad všetkými jej pokladmi a ktorý bol prišiel do Jeruzalema modliť sa

²⁸and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

²⁸a navracoval sa a sedel na svojom voze a čítal proroka Izaiáša.

²⁹And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

²⁹A Duch povedal Filipovi: Pristúp a pripoj sa k tomu vozu.

³⁰And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

³⁰A keď pribehol Filip, počul ho, že číta proroka Izaiáša, a povedal: A či aj rozumieš, čo čítaš?

³¹And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.

³¹A on povedal: Ako by som mohol rozumieť, keď mi niekto nevyloží? A poprosil Filipa, žeby vyšiel a sadol si s ním.

³²Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

³²A obsah písma, ktoré čítal, bol tento: Vedený bol ako ovca na zabitie, a jako sa baránok neohlási pred tým, kto ho strihá, tak neotvoril svojich úst.

³³In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.

³³V jeho ponížení bol vyzdvihnutý jeho súd, a jeho rod kto vyrozpráva! Lebo jeho život sa berie so zeme.

³⁴And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?

³⁴A eunúch odpovedal Filipovi a riekol: Prosím ťa, o kom to hovorí prorok, sám o sebe a či o niekom inom?

³⁵And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

³⁵Tu otvoril Filip svoje ústa a počnúc od tohoto písma zvestoval mu Ježiša.

³⁶And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

³⁶A jako tak išli cestou, prišli k akejsi vode, a eunúch povedal: Hľa, voda; čo mi prekáža dať sa pokrstiť?

³⁷[And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.]

³⁷A Filip riekol: Ak veríš z celého srdca, slobodno. A odpovedal a riekol: Verím, že Ježiš Kristus je syn Boží.

³⁸And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

³⁸A rozkázal vozu, aby postál, a sišli obidvaja do vody, Filip aj eunúch, a pokrstil ho.

³⁹And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.

³⁹A keď vyšli z vody, Duch Pánov uchvátil Filipa, a eunúch ho viacej nevidel, lebo išiel svojou cestou radujúc sa.

⁴⁰But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

⁴⁰A Filip sa našiel v Azóte a chodiac zvestoval všetkým tým mestám evanjelium, až prišiel do Cezáree.
