¹And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.

¹A stalo sa, keď dokončil Ježiš dávať svojim učeníkom rozkazy, že odišiel odtiaľ, aby učil a kázal v ich mestách.

²But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,

²A Ján, keď počul v žalári o skutkoch Kristových, poslal dvoch svojich učeníkov

³and said to him, Art *thou* the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?

³a riekol mu: Či si ty ten, ktorý má prijsť, a či máme čakať iného?

⁴And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.

⁴A Ježiš odpovedal a riekol im: Iďte a zvestujte Jánovi, čo čujete a vidíte:

⁵Blind [men] see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:

⁵slepí vidia, chromí chodia, malomocní sa čistia, hluchí čujú, mŕtvi vstávajú z mŕtvych, a chudobným sa zvestuje evanjelium,

⁶and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.

⁶a blahoslavený je ten, kto by sa nepohoršil na mne.

⁷But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?

⁷A keď oni odišli, začal Ježiš hovoriť zástupom o Jánovi: Čo ste vyšli na púšť vidieť? Trstinu, ktorá sa kláti vetrom?

⁸But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings.

⁸Alebo čo ste vyšli vidieť? Človeka odiateho mäkkým rúchom? Veď hľa, tí, ktorí nosia mäkké rúcho, sú v kráľovských domoch.

⁹But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:

⁹Alebo načo ste vyšli? Vidieť proroka? Ba, hovorím vám, že i viac ako proroka.

¹⁰this is he of whom it is written, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

¹⁰Lebo toto je ten, o ktorom je napísané: Hľa, ja posielam svojho anjela pred tvojou tvárou, ktorý pripraví tvoju cestu pred tebou.

¹¹Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among [the] born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

¹¹Ameň vám hovorím, že nepovstal medzi splodenými zo žien väčší nad Jána Krstiteľa; ale ten, kto je menší v nebeskom kráľovstve, je väčší ako on.

¹²But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent seize on it.

¹²A odo dní Jána Krstiteľa až doteraz trpí nebeské kráľovstvo násilie, a tí, ktorí činia násilie, uchvacujú ho.

¹³For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.

¹³Lebo všetci proroci aj zákon prorokovali až po Jána.

¹⁴And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.

¹⁴A chcete-li prijať, on je Eliáš, ktorý mal prijsť.

¹⁵He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁵Kto má uši, aby počul, nech počuje!

¹⁶But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,

¹⁶No, komu mám pripodobniť toto pokolenie? Podobné je deťom, ktoré sedia na námestiach a privolávajú svojim kamarádom a hovoria:

¹⁷say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.

¹⁷Pískali sme vám, a netancovali ste; žalostne, jako nad mŕtvym sme nariekali, a neplakali ste.

¹⁸For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.

¹⁸Lebo prišiel Ján nejediac ani nepijúc, a hovoria: Má démona;

¹⁹The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man [that is] eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: -- and wisdom has been justified by her children.

¹⁹prišiel Syn človeka jediac a pijúc, a hovoria: Hľa, človek žráč a pijan vína, priateľ publikánov a hriešnikov. A je ospravedlnená múdrosť od svojich detí.

²⁰Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.

²⁰Vtedy začal karhať mestá, v ktorých sa udialo najviac jeho divov, že neučinily pokánia:

²¹Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.

²¹Beda ti, Korazim! Beda ti, Betsaido! Lebo keby sa v Týre a v Sidone boly udialy divy, ktoré sa udialy vo vás, dávno by vo vrecovine a v popole boly činily pokánie.

²²But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.

²²No, hovorím vám, že Týru a Sidonu bude znesiteľnejšie v deň súdu ako vám.

²³And *thou*, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day.

²³A ty, Kafarnaum, ktoré si vyvýšené až do neba, budeš svrhnuté až do pekla; lebo keby sa v Sodome boly dialy divy, ktoré sa dialy v tebe, bola by zostala až do dnešného dňa.

²⁴But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.

²⁴Avšak hovorím vám, že zemi Sodomänov bude znesiteľnejšie v deň súdu ako tebe.

²⁵At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.

²⁵Toho času odpovedal Ježiš a riekol: Ďakujem Ti, Otče, Pane neba i zeme, že si skryl tieto veci pred múdrymi a rozumnými a zjavil si ich nemluvňatám,

²⁶Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.

²⁶áno, Otče, lebo tak sa ti to ľúbilo.

²⁷All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal [him].

²⁷Všetko mi je vydané od môjho Otca, a nikto nezná Syna, iba Otec, ani Otca nezná nikto, iba Syn, a ten, komu by Syn chcel zjaviť.

²⁸Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and *I* will give you rest.

²⁸Poďte ku mne všetci, ktorí pracujete a ste obtiažení, a ja vám dám odpočinutie.

²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls;

²⁹Vezmite moje jarmo na seba a učte sa odo mňa, lebo som tichý a pokorný srdcom, a najdete odpočinutie svojim dušiam;

³⁰for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

³⁰lebo moje jarmo je užitočné a moje bremeno ľahké.
