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

¹And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,

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.

²did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.

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

³And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven,

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

⁴and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?`

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

⁵And he said, `Who art thou, Lord?` and the Lord said, `I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;`

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.

⁶trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?` and the Lord [said] unto him, `Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.`

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

⁷And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one,

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

⁸and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,

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

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

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

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, `Ananias;` and he said, `Behold me, Lord;`

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.

¹¹and the Lord [saith] unto him, `Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray,

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

¹²and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.`

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

¹³And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,

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

¹⁴and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.`

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.

¹⁵And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings — the sons also of Israel;

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

¹⁶for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.`

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.

¹⁷And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him [his] hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me — Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming — that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.`

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

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized,

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

¹⁹and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,

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

²⁰and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

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.

²¹And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?`

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

²²And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

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

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

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

²⁴and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,

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

²⁵and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.

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

²⁶And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,

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.

²⁷and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the name of Jesus.

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

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

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

²⁹and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,

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

³⁰and the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

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.

³¹Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

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

³²And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all [quarters], came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,

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

³³and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name — for eight years laid upon a couch — who was paralytic,

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

³⁴and Peter said to him, `Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;` and immediately he rose,

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

³⁵and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.

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

³⁶And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;

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

³⁷and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,

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.

³⁸and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto 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.

³⁹And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.

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.

⁴⁰And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, `Tabitha, arise;` and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,

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

⁴¹and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive,

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

⁴²and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord;

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

⁴³and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
