¹Prvú knihu som napísal, Teofíle, o všetkom, čo započal Ježiš činiť a učiť,

¹The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

²až do toho dňa, ktorého vzatý bol hore do neba, keď už bol dal skrze Svätého Ducha prikázania apoštolom, ktorých si vyvolil,

²till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,

³ktorým sa aj zjavoval živý po svojom utrpení mnohými dôkazmi ukazujúc sa im štyridsať dní a hovoriac s nimi o kráľovstve Božom.

³to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.

⁴A shromažďujúc sa s nimi prikazoval im, aby neodchádzali z Jeruzalema, ale aby čakali zasľúbenie Otcovo, o ktorom zasľúbení ste vraj počuli od mňa;

⁴And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he,] `Ye did hear of me;

⁵totiž že Ján krstil vodou, ale vy budete pokrstení Svätým Duchom už o nie mnoho dní.

⁵because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit — after not many days.`

⁶A oni síduc sa pýtali sa ho a vraveli: Pane, či v tomto čase obnovíš Izraelovi kráľovstvo?

⁶They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, `Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?`

⁷A on im povedal: To nie je vašou vecou zvedieť časy alebo jednotlivé doby, ktoré si Otec uložil vo svojej vlastnej moci,

⁷and he said unto them, `It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;

⁸ale prijmete moc Svätého Ducha, ktorý prijde na vás, a budete mi svedkami i v Jeruzaleme i po celom Judsku i v Samárii a tak až do poslednej končiny zeme.

⁸but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.`

⁹A keď to povedal, zdvihnutý bol hore, kým oni hľadeli na to, a podňal ho oblak a vzal zpred ich očí.

⁹And these things having said — they beholding — he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

¹⁰A jako v tom, čo odchádzal, upretým zrakom hľadeli do neba, tu hľa, dvaja mužovia sa postavili vedľa nich v bielom rúchu,

¹⁰and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel,

¹¹ktorí aj povedali: Galilejskí mužovia, čo tu stojíte a hľadíte do neba? Tento Ježiš, ktorí bol vzatý od vás hore do neba, prijde tak, ako ste ho videli ísť do neba.

¹¹who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.`

¹²Vtedy sa vrátili do Jeruzalema s vrchu, zvaného Olivového, ktorý je blízko Jeruzalema, na cestu sobotného dňa od neho.

¹²Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath`s journey;

¹³A keď vošli do mesta, vyšli do vrchnej dvorany, kde sa zdržovali Peter a Jakob a Ján a Andrej, Filip a Tomáš, Bartolomeus a Matúš, Jakob Alfeov a Šimon Zelóta, Horlivec, a Júdas Jakobov.

¹³and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James;

¹⁴Títo všetci zotrvávali jednomyseľne na modlitbe a v pokornej prosbe so ženami a s Máriou, matkou Ježišovou, i s jeho bratmi.

¹⁴these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁵A v tých dňoch vstal Peter v strede učeníkov (a bol tam vovedne zástup tak asi sto dvadsať duší) a povedal:

¹⁵And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,)

¹⁶Mužovia bratia, muselo sa naplniť písmo, ktoré predpovedal Svätý Duch skrze ústa Dávidove o Judášovi, ktorý sa stal vodcom tým, ktorí zajali Ježiša,

¹⁶`Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,

¹⁷pretože bol počítaný k nám a bol dostal podiel na tejto službe.

¹⁷because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,

¹⁸Ten si teda nadobudol pole za mzdu neprávosti a svaliac sa strmhlav rozpukol sa napoly, a vykydly sa všetky jeho vnútornosti.

¹⁸this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,

¹⁹A stalo sa to známym všetkým, ktorí bývajú v Jeruzaleme, takže je nazvané to pole ich vlastným nárečím: Akeldama, to jest Pole krvi.

¹⁹and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood,

²⁰Lebo je napísané v knihe žalmov: Nech je jeho príbytok pustý, a nech nie je nikoho, kto by býval v ňom! a: Jeho biskupstvo nech vezme iný!

²⁰for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take.

²¹Musí teda jeden z týchto mužov, ktorí sa s nami schádzali po celý čas, v ktorom Pán Ježiš vchádzal a vychádzal, žil a obcoval medzi nami,

²¹`It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

²²počnúc od krstu Jánovho až do dňa, v ktorom bol vzatý od nás hore do neba, byť s nami svedkom jeho zmŕtvychvstania.

²²beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.`

²³A tak postavili dvoch, Jozefa, zvaného Barsabáša, ktorý mal prímeno Justus, Spravedlivý, a Mateja.

²³And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,

²⁴A pomodliac sa povedali: Ty, Pane, ktorý znáš srdcia všetkých ľudí, ukáž, prosíme, z týchto dvoch toho jedného, ktorého si si vyvolil,

²⁴and having prayed, they said, `Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two

²⁵aby dostal podiel na tejto službe a na apoštolstve, odkiaľ odstúpil Judáš, aby odišiel na svoje vlastné miesto.

²⁵to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;`

²⁶A dali im losy, a los padol na Mateja, a bol spolu počítaný s jedonástimi apoštolmi.

²⁶and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
