¹A prišli niektorí z Judska dolu a učili bratov, že vraj jestli sa neobrežete podľa obyčaje Mojžišovej, nemôžete byť spasení.

¹And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren — `If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;`

²A keď preto povstala vzbura a nemalá hádka Pavlovi a Barnabášovi s nimi, ustanovili, aby Pavel a Barnabáš a ešte niektorí iní z nich išli k apoštolom a starším hore do Jeruzalema o tento spor.

²there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question,

³A oni tedy vyprevadení súc od sboru išli cez Feníciu a Samáriu rozprávajúc o obrátení pohanov a pôsobili všetkým bratom velikú radosť.

³they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren.

⁴A keď prišli do Jeruzalema, boli prijatí od sboru aj od apoštolov aj od starších a zvestovali, čo všetko učinil s nimi Bôh.

⁴And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;

⁵Ale vraj povstali niektorí zo sekty farizeov, ktorí uverili, a hovoria, že sa musia obrezovať, a že sa im má prikázať, aby zachovávali zákon Mojžišov.

⁵and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying — `It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.`

⁶Vtedy sa sišli apoštolovia a starší, aby videli a uvážili o tej veci.

⁶And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,

⁷A po mnohom dohadovaní sa povstal Peter a povedal im: Mužovia bratia, vy viete, že si Bôh od dávnych dňov vyvolil medzi nami, aby skrze moje ústa počuli pohania slovo evanjelia a uverili.

⁷and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;

⁸A Bôh, ktorý zná srdce, im dal svedoctvo dajúc im Svätého Ducha jako i nám

⁸and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,

⁹a neurobil nijakého rozdielu medzi nami a medzi nimi očistiac vierou ich srdcia.

⁹and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

¹⁰A tak teraz čo pokúšate Boha chcúc vzložiť jarmo na krk učeníkom, ktoré ani naši otcovia ani my sme nevládali uniesť?

¹⁰now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

¹¹Ale veríme, že skrze milosť Pána Ježiša Krista budeme spasení na ten istý spôsob ako aj oni.

¹¹but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.`

¹²A umĺklo všetko množstvo a počúvali Barnabáša a Pavla, ktorí vyprávali, jaké mnohé divy a zázraky činil Bôh skrze nich medzi pohanmi.

¹²And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;

¹³A keď umĺkli, odpovedal Jakob a povedal: Mužovia bratia, počujte ma!

¹³and after they are silent, James answered, saying, `Men, brethren, hearken to me;

¹⁴Šimon práve rozprával, ako Bôh najprv pohliadol, aby vzal z pohanov ľud na svoje meno.

¹⁴Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,

¹⁵A s tým sa srovnávajú slová prorokov, ako je napísané:

¹⁵and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:

¹⁶Potom sa navrátim a zase vystavím padlý stán Dávidov i jeho zboreniny znova vybudujem a postavím ho rovno,

¹⁶After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright —

¹⁷aby pozostalí z ľudí vyhľadali Pána i všetky národy, nad ktorými bolo vzývané moje meno, hovorí Pán ktorý činí toto všetko.

¹⁷that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.

¹⁸Známe sú Bohu od veku všetky jeho diela.

¹⁸`Known from the ages to God are all His works;

¹⁹Preto ja súdim neznepokojovať tých, ktorí sa z pohanov obracajú k Bohu,

¹⁹wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,

²⁰ale napísať im, aby sa zdŕžali od poškvŕn modiel a od smilstva, od zaduseného a od krvi.

²⁰but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;

²¹Lebo Mojžiš má od dávnych pokolení po mestách tých, ktorí ho hlásajú, a číta sa po synagógach každú sobotu.

²¹for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him — in the synagogues every sabbath being read.`

²²Vtedy sa videlo za dobré apoštolom a starším s celou cirkvou vyvoliť si spomedzi seba mužov a poslať ich do Antiochie s Pavlom a Barnabášom, Júdu, zvaného Barsabáša, a Sílasa, mužov, vedúcich medzi bratmi,

²²Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas — Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren —

²³a napísali po nich toto: Apoštolovia a starší a bratia pozdravujú bratov z pohanov, bratov, ktorí sú v Antiochii, Sýrii a Cilícii.

²³having written through their hand thus: `The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting;

²⁴Pretože sme počuli, že niektorí z nás vyjdúc znepokojili vás rečami a rozvracajú vaše duše hovoriac, že sa musíte obrezovať a zachovávať zákon, ktorým sme toho nenaručili,

²⁴seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,

²⁵videlo sa nám za dobré, prišedším na jednu myseľ, vybrať si mužov a poslať ich k vám s našimi milovanými, s Barnabášom a Pavlom,

²⁵it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul —

²⁶s ľuďmi to, ktorí vydali svoje životy za meno nášho Pána Ježiša Krista.

²⁶men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ —

²⁷Poslali sme tedy Júdu a Sílasa, ktorí aj sami ústne povedia to isté.

²⁷we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.

²⁸Lebo za dobré sa videlo Svätému Duchu i nám neuvaľovať na vás viacej nijakého bremena krome toho nevyhnuteľne potrebného:

²⁸`For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:

²⁹zdržovať sa od obetovaného modlám, od krvi, od zaduseného a od smilstva, čoho keď sa budete veľmi vystríhať, budete dobre robiť. Buďte zdraví!

²⁹to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!`

³⁰A tak oni súc prepustení prišli dolu do Antiochie a shromaždiac množstvo podali list.

³⁰They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,

³¹A keď prečítali, zaradovali sa potešeniu.

³¹and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation;

³²A Júdas a Sílas, ktorí boli aj sami prorokmi, napomínali bratov mnohými slovami a upevňovali.

³²Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,

³³A keď tam pobudli nejaký čas, boli prepustení od bratov s pokojom k tým, ktorí ich poslali.

³³and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles;

³⁴Ale Sílasovi sa videlo za dobré zostať tu.

³⁴and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.

³⁵A Pavel a Barnabáš zdržovali sa v Antiochii učiac a zvestujúc, aj s mnohými inými, slovo Pánovo.

³⁵And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news — with many others also — the word of the Lord;

³⁶A po niekoľkých dňoch povedal Pavel Barnabášovi: Nože sa vráťme a ponavštevujme svojich bratov po všetkých mestách, v ktorých sme zvestovali slovo Pánovo, a vidzme, jako sa majú.

³⁶and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, `Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord — how they are.`

³⁷A Barnabáš radil, aby pojali so sebou i Jána, zvaného Marka.

³⁷And Barnabas counseled to take with [them] John called Mark,

³⁸Ale Pavel uznával za správne nepojímať so sebou toho, ktorý odišiel od nich z Pamfýlie a neišiel s nimi k dielu.

³⁸and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

³⁹A z toho povstalo také roznietenie, že sa rozišli, a že Barnabáš pojal so sebou Marka a odplavil sa do Cypru,

³⁹there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,

⁴⁰a Pavel si zvolil k sebe Sílasa a odišiel tiež poručený súc od bratov milosti Pánovej a chodil po Sýrii a Cilícii a upevňoval sbory.

⁴⁰and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren;

⁴¹and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
