¹A stalo sa, keď bol na ktoromsi mieste a modlil sa a keď prestal, že mu povedal ktorýsi z jeho učeníkov: Pane, nauč nás modliť sa, jako i Ján naučil svojich učeníkov.

¹And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said unto him, `Sir, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.`

²A on im povedal: Keď sa modlíte, hovorte: Náš Otče, ktorý si v nebesiach! Nech sa posvätí tvoje meno! Nech prijde tvoje kráľovstvo! Nech sa stane tvoja vôľa jako v nebi, tak i na zemi!

²And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;

³Dávaj nám náš povšedný chlieb každého dňa!

³our appointed bread be giving us daily;

⁴A odpusť nám naše hriechy, lebo aj my sami odpúšťame každému svojmu vinníkovi. A neuvoď nás v pokušenie, ale nás zbav zlého!

⁴and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.`

⁵A povedal im: Kto z vás bude mať priateľa a pojde k nemu o polnoci a povedal by mu: Priateľu, požičaj mi tri chleby,

⁵And he said unto them, `Who of you shall have a friend, and shall go on unto him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

⁶lebo môj priateľ prišiel ku mne s cesty, a nemám, čo by som mu predložil.

⁶seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him,

⁷A tamten z vnútra odpovedajúc by povedal: Netráp ma! Dvere sú už zamknuté, a moje deti sú so mnou v posteli; nemôžem vstať a dať ti.

⁷and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.

⁸Hovorím vám, že ak aj vstanúc nedá mu preto, že mu je priateľom, ale pre jeho nestudatosť vstane a dá mu, koľko potrebuje.

⁸`I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;

⁹I ja vám hovorím: Proste, a bude vám dané; hľadajte a najdete; klepte a otvorí sa vám;

⁹and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

¹⁰lebo každý, kto prosí, berie; kto hľadá, nachádza, a tomu kto klepe, bude otvorené.

¹⁰for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

¹¹A ktorýže z vás otec by bol taký, aby svojmu synovi, keby ho prosil za chlieb, podal kameň?! Alebo aj za rybu, či mu azda miesto ryby podá hada?

¹¹`And of which of you — the father — if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?

¹²Alebo aj keby prosil za vajce, však mu len nepodá škorpiona?!

¹²and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a scorpion?

¹³Ak teda vy, súc zlí, viete dávať svojim deťom dobré dary, o koľko skôr dá Otec z neba Svätého Ducha tým, ktorí ho prosia!

¹³If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!`

¹⁴A vyháňal démona, a ten bol nemý. A stalo sa, keď vyšiel démon, že nemý hovoril. A zástupy sa divily.

¹⁴And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,

¹⁵Ale niektorí z nich povedali: Belzebúbom, kniežaťom nad démonami, vyháňa démonov.

¹⁵and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;`

¹⁶A zase iní pokúšajúc hľadali od neho znamenie z neba.

¹⁶and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.

¹⁷Ale on znal ich myšlienky a povedal im: Každé kráľovstvo, rozdelené proti sebe, pustne, i dom, rozdelený proti domu, padá.

¹⁷And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house doth fall;

¹⁸A jestli je i satan rozdelený proti sebe, jako potom obstojí jeho kráľovstvo? Lebo hovoríte, že Belzebúbom vyháňam démonov.

¹⁸and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.

¹⁹No, ak ja Belzebúbom vyháňam démonov, vaši synovia ich kým vyháňajú? Preto oni budú vašimi sudcami.

¹⁹`But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons — your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be;

²⁰Ale ak ja prstom Božím vyháňam démonov, tak teda prišlo k vám kráľovstvo Božie.

²⁰but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.

²¹Keď silný ozbrojenec stráži svoj palác, v pokoji sú jeho veci.

²¹`When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods;

²²Ale keby prišiel na neho silnejší, ako je on, a premohol by ho, vezme jeho zbraň, na ktorú sa nadejal, a rozdá svoju korisť.

²²but when the stronger than he, having come upon [him], may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;

²³Kto nie je so mnou, je proti mne: a kto so mnou neshromažďuje, rozptyľuje.

²³he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me doth scatter.

²⁴Keď vyjde nečistý duch od človeka, chodí po bezvodných miestach a hľadá odpočinok a keď nenajde, hovorí: Navrátim sa do svojho domu, odkiaľ som vyšiel.

²⁴`When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;

²⁵A keď prijde, najde zametený a ozdobený.

²⁵and having come, it findeth [it] swept and adorned;

²⁶Vtedy ide a pojme so sebou ešte sedem iných duchov, horších ako je sám, a vojdúc bývajú tam, a posledné veci toho človeka stávajú sa horšími ako prvé.

²⁶then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst than the first.`

²⁷A stalo sa v tom, ako to hovoril, že nejaká žena zo zástupu pozdvihla svoj hlas a povedala mu: Blahoslavený život, ktorý ťa nosil, a prsia, ktoré si požíval!

²⁷And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!`

²⁸Ale on povedal: Ba pravda, blahoslavení, ktorí čujú slovo Božie a zachovávajú ho!

²⁸And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!`

²⁹A keď sa k nemu shromažďovaly zástupy, začal hovoriť: Toto pokolenie je zlé pokolenie, znamenie vyhľadáva; a znamenie mu nebude dané, iba znamenie proroka Jonáša.

²⁹And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,

³⁰Lebo jako bol Jonáš znamením Ninivänom, tak bude aj Syn človeka tomuto pokoleniu.

³⁰for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

³¹Kráľovná Juhu vstane na súde s mužmi tohoto pokolenia a odsúdi ich; lebo prišla z ďalekých končín zeme počuť múdrosť Šalamúnovu, a hľa, tu je viac ako Šalamún!

³¹`A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, greater than Solomon here!

³²Ninivskí mužovia povstanú na súde s týmto pokolením a odsúdia ho; lebo činili pokánie na kázeň Jonášovu; a hľa, tu je viac ako Jonáš!

³²`Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here!

³³A nikto zažnúc sviecu nestavia jej na skryté miesto ani pod nádobu, ale na svietnik, aby tí, ktorí vchádzajú, videli svetlo.

³³`And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.

³⁴Sviecou tela je oko; keď je tedy tvoje oko prosté, je i celé tvoje telo svetlé; ale keby bolo zlé, i tvoje telo by bolo tmavé.

³⁴`The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;

³⁵Hľaď tedy, aby svetlo, ktoré je v tebe, nebolo tmou!

³⁵take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in thee be darkness;

³⁶Ak tedy bude celé tvoje telo svetlé, nemajúce nijakej tmavej čiastky, vtedy bude celé svetlé, jako blesk keď ťa svieca osvecuje svojím bleskom.

³⁶if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.`

³⁷A medzitým, čo hovoril, prosil ho jakýsi farizeus, žeby obedoval u neho. A vošiel a sadol si za stôl.

³⁷And in [his] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

³⁸A farizeus vidiac to zadivil sa, že sa prv neumyl pred obedom.

³⁸and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.

³⁹A Pán mu povedal: Teraz vy farizeovia čistíte vonok pohára a misy, ale vaše vnútro je plné lúpeže a zloby.

³⁹And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;

⁴⁰Blázni, či ten, ktorý učinil vonok, neučinil aj vnútra?

⁴⁰unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?

⁴¹Avšak len dávajte to, čo je dnu, almužnou, a hľa, všetko vám je čisté.

⁴¹But what ye have give ye [as] alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.

⁴²Ale beda vám, farizeovia, že dávate desiatky z máty a ruty a z každej zeliny a obchádzate súd a lásku Božiu. Toto bolo treba robiť a tamto neopúšťať.

⁴²`But wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

⁴³Beda vám, farizeovia, že milujete prvé stolice v synagógach a pozdravovania na trhoch.

⁴³`Wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.

⁴⁴Beda vám, zákonníci a farizeovia, pokrytci, že ste jako nie patrné hroby, a ľudia, ktorí chodia po nich, nevedia o tom, že chodia po hroboch.

⁴⁴`Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.`

⁴⁵A ktorýsi zo zákonníkov odpovedal a riekol mu: Učiteľu, toto hovoriac i nás hanobíš.

⁴⁵And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;`

⁴⁶A on povedal: Aj vám, zákonníkom, beda, lebo kladiete na ľudí neznesiteľné bremená, ale sami sa ani jedným svojím prstom tých bremien nedotýkate.

⁴⁶and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, wo! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.

⁴⁷Beda vám, že staviate prorokom náhrobky, a vaši otcovia ich povraždili!

⁴⁷`Wo to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁸Tak tedy ste svedkami a súhlasíte so skutkami svojich otcov; lebo oni ich povraždili, a vy staviate ich náhrobky.

⁴⁸Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;

⁴⁹Preto aj múdrosť Božia povedala: Pošlem k nim prorokov a apoštolov, a niektorých z nich zavraždia a niektorých budú prenasledovať,

⁴⁹because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

⁵⁰aby bola vyhľadaná od tohoto pokolenia krv všetkých prorokov, vyliata od založenia sveta,

⁵⁰that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;

⁵¹od krvi Ábelovej až do krvi Zachariášovej, ktorý zahynul medzi oltárom a chrámom. Áno, hovorím vám, bude vyhľadaná od tohoto pokolenia.

⁵¹from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.

⁵²Beda vám, zákonníkom, že ste vzali kľúč známosti; sami ste nevošli a vchádzajúcim ste bránili.

⁵²`Wo to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.`

⁵³A keď vyšiel odtiaľ, začali zákonníci a farizeovia strašne sa na neho hnevať

⁵³And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,

⁵⁴a úkladnícky sa ho na všeličo vypytovať, aby ulovili niečo z jeho úst a obžalovali ho.

⁵⁴laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
