¹But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

¹A Saul ešte vždycky dýchal hrozbou a vraždou na učeníkov Pánových a išiel k najvyššiemu kňazovi

²and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

²a vyžiadal si od neho listy do Damašku na tamojšie synagógy, aby, jestli by tam našiel niektorých mužov alebo ženy tej cesty, doviedol ich sviazaných do Jeruzalema.

³And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:

³A v tom, čo išiel, stalo sa, že sa už blížil Damašku, a zrazu ho obkľúčilo svetlo z neba,

⁴and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁴a padnúc na zem počul hlas, ktorý mu hovoril: Saule, Saule, prečo ma prenasleduješ?

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

⁵A on povedal: Kto si, Pane? A Pán povedal: Ja som Ježiš, ktorého ty prenasleduješ, tvrdo ti bude proti ostňu sa vzpečovať.

⁶but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁶A on trasúc a desiac sa povedal: Pane, čo chceš, aby som učinil? A Pán jemu: Vstaň a vojdi do mesta, a povie sa ti, čo máš robiť.

⁷And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.

⁷A mužovia, ktorí s ním spolu cestovali, stáli ohromení, bez slova, ktorí síce hlas počuli, ale nevideli nikoho.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁸Potom vstal Saul so zeme, ale keď sa mu otvorily oči, nevidel nikoho. Vtedy ho pojali za ruku a voviedli do Damašku.

⁹And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.

⁹A bol tak tri dni, čo nevidel, a nejedol ani nepil.

¹⁰Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.

¹⁰A bol nejaký učeník v Damašku, menom Ananiáš, ktorému riekol Pán vo videní: Ananiášu! A on povedal: Tu som Pane.

¹¹And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;

¹¹A Pán zase jemu: Vstaň a idi do ulice, ktorá sa volá Priama, a vyhľadaj v dome Júdovom Saula, menom Tarzenského, lebo hľa, modlí sa.

¹²and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.

¹²(A Saul videl vo videní muža, menom Ananiáša, ktorý vošiel k nemu a položil ne neho ruky, aby prezrel).

¹³But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹³A Ananiáš odpovedal: Pane, počul som od mnohých ľudí o tomto mužovi, jako mnoho zlého učinil tvojim svätým v Jeruzaleme.

¹⁴and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.

¹⁴A má aj tu moc od najvyšších kňazov poviazať všetkých, ktorí vzývajú tvoje meno.

¹⁵But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁵Ale Pán mu povedal: Iď, lebo on mi je vyvolenou nádobou, aby zaniesol moje meno i pred pohanov i pred kráľov i pred synov Izraelových.

¹⁶for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.

¹⁶Lebo ja mu ukážem, ako mnoho musí on pretrpieť za moje meno.

¹⁷And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Vtedy odišiel Ananiáš a vošiel do domu a položiac na neho ruky povedal: Saule, bratu, Pán ma poslal, Ježiš, ktorý sa ti ukázal na ceste, ktorou si išiel sem, aby si prezrel a bol naplnený Svätým Duchom.

¹⁸And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;

¹⁸A hneď spadly s jeho očí jako čo by lupiny, a prezrel naskutku a vstal a dal sa pokrstiť

¹⁹and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.

¹⁹a prijal pokrm a posilnil sa. A bol niekoľko dní s učeníkmi, ktorí boli v Damašku.

²⁰And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰A hneď hlásal v synagógach Ježiša Krista, že je on Syn Boží.

²¹And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.

²¹A žasli všetci, ktorí to počuli, a vraveli: Či toto nie je ten, ktorý to hubil v Jeruzaleme tých, ktorí vzývajú to meno? A sem tiež prišiel nato, aby ich poviazaných odviedol pred najvyšších kňazov.

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

²²Ale Saul čoraz mocnel a miatol dôvodmi Židov, ktorí bývali v Damašku, dokazujúc, že on, Ježiš, je Kristus.

²³And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:

²³A keď už bolo pominulo hodne dní, uradili sa medzi sebou Židia zabiť ho.

²⁴but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:

²⁴Ale Saul zvedel o ich úklade. A striehli aj brány vodne i vnoci, aby ho zabili.

²⁵but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

²⁵Ale učeníci ho pojali vnoci a spustili cez múr spustiac ho po povraze v pletenci.

²⁶And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

²⁶A keď prišiel Saul do Jeruzalema, pokúšal sa pridružiť sa učeníkom; ale sa ho báli všetci, pretože mu neverili, že by bol učeníkom.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁷Ale Barnabáš ho pojal a zaviedol k apoštolom a porozprával im, ako videl na ceste Pána, a že s ním hovoril, a jako v Damašku smele hovoril v mene Ježišovom.

²⁸And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,

²⁸A bol s nimi vchádzajúc a vychádzajúc, v Jeruzaleme.

²⁹preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.

²⁹A hovoril smele v mene Pána Ježiša a vravel a hádal sa s hellenistami, a oni sa pokúšali zabiť ho.

³⁰And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³⁰Ale keď o tom zvedeli bratia, zaviedli ho dolu do Cezáree a vyslali ho do Tarzu.

³¹So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.

³¹A tak sbory po celom Judsku a po Galilei a Samárii maly pokoj vzdelávajúc sa a chodiac v bázni Pánovej a rozhojňovaly sa techou Svätého Ducha.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.

³²A stalo sa, keď chodil Peter po nich po všetkých, že sišiel i k svätým, ktorí bývali v Lydde.

³³And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.

³³A našiel tam nejakého človeka, menom Eneáša, ktorý už od ôsmich rokov ležal na posteli a ktorý bol porazený.

³⁴And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.

³⁴A Peter mu povedal: Eneášu, Ježiš Kristus ťa uzdravuje. Vstaň a posteľ si. A hneď vstal.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

³⁵A videli ho všetci, ktorí bývali v Lydde a v Sárone, ktorí sa obrátili k Pánovi.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁶A v Joppe bola istá učenica, menom Tabita, čo znamená v preklade Dorkas čiže Laň. Tá bola plná dobrých skutkov a milodarov, ktoré dávala.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.

³⁷A stalo sa v tých dňoch, že onemocnela a zomrela. A keď ju umyli, položili ju vo vrchnom príbytku.

³⁸And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.

³⁸A keďže bola Lydda blízko Joppy, a keď počuli učeníci, že je tam Peter, poslali k nemu dvoch mužov a prosili: Neváhaj prijsť až k nám.

³⁹And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

³⁹A Peter vstal a išiel s nimi. A keď ta prišiel, vyviedli ho do vrchného príbytku, a obstúpily ho všetky tie vdovy plačúc a ukazovaly sukne a plášte, ktoré im robila Dorkas, dokiaľ bola s nimi.

⁴⁰But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴⁰Vtedy vyhnal Peter všetkých von a skloniac kolená modlil sa a obrátiac sa k mŕtvemu telu povedal: Tabita, vstaň! A ona otvorila oči, a keď videla Petra, posadila sa.

⁴¹And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴¹A on jej podal ruku a zodvihol ju. Potom zavolal svätých a vdovy a postavil ju pred nich živú.

⁴²And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.

⁴²A zvedeli o tom po celej Joppe, a mnohí uverili na Pána.

⁴³And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

⁴³A stalo sa, že zostal v Joppe za hodne dní u istého Šimona koželuha.
