¹A v tom, keď sa boly sišly desaťtisíce zástupu, takže šliapali jedni po druhých, začal hovoriť svojim učeníkom: Najprv sa vystríhajte kvasu farizeov, ktorý je pokrytstvo.

¹At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, `Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

²Ale nieto ničoho ukrytého, čo by nemalo byť odkryté, ani tajného, čo by sa nemalo zvedieť.

²and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;

³A preto všetko, čo ste povedali vo tme, bude sa čuť na svetle; a čo ste v komorách šeptali do ucha, bude sa hlásať na domoch.

³because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.

⁴Ale vám, svojim priateľom, hovorím: Nebojte sa tých, ktorí zabíjajú telo a ktorí potom nemajú viacej čo urobiť.

⁴`And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do;

⁵Ale ukážem vám, koho sa máte báť: bojte sa toho, ktorý, keď zabije, má moc uvrhnúť do pekla. Áno, hovorím vám, toho sa bojte!

⁵but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him.

⁶Či nepredávajú päť vrabčekov za dva groše? A ani jeden z nich nie je zabudnutý pred Bohom.

⁶`Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,

⁷Ale aj vlasy vašej hlavy všetky sú spočítané. Nebojte sa teda! Vy ste drahší nad mnoho vrabcov.

⁷but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.

⁸Ale hovorím vám: Každého, kto mňa vyzná pred ľuďmi, vyzná i Syn človeka pred anjelmi Božími.

⁸`And I say to you, Every one — whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,

⁹Ale ten, kto mňa zaprel pred ľuďmi, bude zaprený pred anjelmi Božími.

⁹and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,

¹⁰A každému, kto povie slovo proti Synovi človeka, bude odpustené; ale tomu, kto sa rúhal Svätému Duchu, nebude odpustené.

¹⁰and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.

¹¹A keď vás budú vodiť do synagóg, pred úrady a pred vrchnosti, nestarajte sa, jako alebo čo máte povedať na svoju obranu alebo čo máte riecť;

¹¹`And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say,

¹²lebo Svätý Duch vás naučí v tú istú hodinu, čo treba povedať.

¹²for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.`

¹³A ktosi zo zástupu mu povedal: Učiteľu, povedz môjmu bratovi, aby si rozdelil so mnou dedičstvo!

¹³And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, `Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.`

¹⁴Ale on mu povedal: Človeče, kto ma ustanovil za sudcu alebo za deliteľa nad vami?

¹⁴And he said to him, `Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?`

¹⁵A povedal im: Hľaďte a chráňte sa lakomstva! Lebo keď má niekto hojnosť, zato jeho život nie je z jeho majetku.

¹⁵And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one`s goods is his life.`

¹⁶A povedal im aj podobenstvo a riekol: Ktoréhosi bohatého človeka zem hojne zarodila.

¹⁶And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;

¹⁷A rozmýšľal v sebe a povedal: Čo urobím? Lebo nemám, kde by som shromaždil svoju úrodu.

¹⁷and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?

¹⁸A povedal: Toto spravím: zborím svoje stodoly a nastaviam väčších a shromaždím tam všetky svoje plodiny a svoj majetok

¹⁸and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,

¹⁹a poviem svojej duši: Dušo, máš mnoho majetku, složeného na mnoho rokov; odpočívaj, jedz, pi a veseľ sa.

¹⁹and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

²⁰A Bôh mu povedal: Blázne, tejto noci požiadajú tvoju dušu od teba, a to, čo si nahotovil, čie bude?

²⁰`And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare — to whom shall they be?

²¹Tak je to s tým, kto si shromažďuje poklady a nie je bohatý v Bohu.

²¹so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.`

²²A povedal svojim učeníkom: Preto vám hovorím: nestarajte sa o svoj život, čo budete jesť, ani o telo, čím sa odejete.

²²And he said unto his disciples, `Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;

²³Lebo život je viac ako pokrm, a telo viac než odev.

²³the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.

²⁴Povážte vrany, že nesejú ani nežnú, ktoré nemajú komory ani stodoly, a Bôh ich živí. A o koľko drahší ste vy nad vtákov!

²⁴`Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?

²⁵A kto z vás môže starajúci sa pridať k veľkosti svojej postavy čo len jeden lakeť?

²⁵and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?

²⁶Ak tedy ani len najmenšie nemôžete, prečo sa o to ostatné staráte?

²⁶If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?

²⁷Povážte ľalie, jako rastú; nepracujú ani nepradú, a hovorím vám, že ani Šalamún v celej svojej sláve nebol tak odiaty jako jedna z nich.

²⁷`Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these;

²⁸Ak tedy trávu na poli, ktorá je dnes a zajtra sa hodí do pece, Bôh tak odieva, o koľko skôr zaodeje vás, ó, ľudia malej viery.

²⁸and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you — ye of little faith?

²⁹A vy nehľadajte, čo budete jesť alebo čo budete piť, ani sa takými starosťami neznepokojujte,

²⁹`And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,

³⁰lebo to všetko hľadajú národy tohoto sveta, a veď váš Otec vie, že to potrebujete.

³⁰for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things;

³¹Ale hľadajte kráľovstvo Božie, a to všetko vám bude pridané.

³¹but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

³²Neboj sa, malé stádečko! Lebo sa zaľúbilo vášmu Otcovi dať vám kráľovstvo!

³²`Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

³³Predajte svoje imania a dajte almužnu! Urobte si mešce, ktoré nevetšejú, nepominuteľný poklad v nebesiach, kde sa neblíži zlodej, a moľ nekazí;

³³sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;

³⁴lebo kde je váš poklad, tam bude i vaše srdce.

³⁴for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.

³⁵Nech sú vaše bedrá opásané a sviece horiace!

³⁵`Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,

³⁶A vy podobní ľuďom, očakávajúcim svojho pána, kedy sa vráti zo svadby, aby mu, keď prijde a zaklepe, hneď otvorili.

³⁶and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.

³⁷Blahoslavení to sluhovia, ktorých, keď prijde pán, najde bdieť! Ameň vám hovorím, že sa opáše a usadí ich za stôl a prijdúc bude ich obsluhovať.

³⁷`Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;

³⁸A keby prišiel za druhej stráže a za tretej stráže keby prišiel a našiel tak, blahoslavení sú tí sluhovia!

³⁸and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, happy are those servants.

³⁹Ale to vedzte, že keby vedel hospodár, v ktorú hodinu prijde zlodej, bdel by a nedal by preboriť svoj dom.

³⁹`And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;

⁴⁰Teda aj vy buďte hotoví, lebo v tú hodinu, ktorú sa nenazdáte, prijde Syn človeka.

⁴⁰and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.`

⁴¹A Peter mu povedal: Pane, či len nám hovoríš toto podobenstvo a či aj všetkým?

⁴¹And Peter said to him, `Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?`

⁴²A Pán povedal: Nuž kto tedy je to ten verný a opatrný správca, ktorého ustanoví pán nad svojou čeľaďou, aby jej na čas dával vymeraný pokrm?

⁴²And the Lord said, `Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?

⁴³Blahoslavený ten sluha, ktorého, keď prijde jeho pán, najde tak robiť!

⁴³Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;

⁴⁴Pravdu vám hovorím, že ho ustanoví nad celým svojím majetkom.

⁴⁴truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.

⁴⁵Ale keby povedal ten sluha vo svojom srdci: Môj pán odkladá s príchodom! A začal by sluhov biť aj slúžky a jesť a piť a opíjať sa -

⁴⁵`And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken;

⁴⁶prijde pán toho sluhu v deň, v ktorý sa nenazdá, a v hodinu, ktorej nezná, a rozpoltí ho a jeho diel položí s nevernými.

⁴⁶the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for [him], and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.

⁴⁷A oný sluha, ktorý znal vôľu svojho pána a nezhotovil sa ani neurobil podľa jeho vôle, bude veľmi bitý.

⁴⁷`And that servant, who having known his lord`s will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes,

⁴⁸A zase ten, ktorý neznal, ale konal veci, hodné bitky, bude menej bitý. A od každého, komu je mnoho dané, bude sa vyhľadávať mnoho, a komu mnoho sverili, od toho budú viacej požadovať.

⁴⁸and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

⁴⁹Oheň som prišiel hodiť na zem, a čo chcem, ak už je zapálený?

⁴⁹`Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?

⁵⁰Ale mám byť pokrstený krstom, a jaký som stiesnený, dokiaľ sa nesplní!

⁵⁰but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!

⁵¹A či sa domnievate, že som prišiel dať pokoj na zemi? Nie, hovorím vám, ale rozdelenie.

⁵¹`Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;

⁵²Lebo odteraz budú piati v jednom dome rozdelení, traja proti dvom a dvaja proti trom.

⁵²for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided — three against two, and two against three;

⁵³Rozdelený bude otec proti synovi a syn proti otcovi, mať proti dcére a dcéra proti materi, svokra proti svojej neveste a nevesta proti svojej svokre.

⁵³a father shall be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.`

⁵⁴A vravel i zástupom: Keď vidíte oblak, že vystupuje od západu, hneď hovoríte, že ide dážď, a býva tak.

⁵⁴And he said also to the multitudes, `When ye may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately ye say, A shower doth come, and it is so;

⁵⁵A zase keď vidíte, že veje poludný vietor, hovoríte, že bude horúčava, a býva.

⁵⁵and when — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;

⁵⁶Pokrytci, tvárnosť zeme a neba viete zkúmať a posúdiť, a jakože potom tohoto času nezkúmate?

⁵⁶hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time — how do ye not make proof of [it]?

⁵⁷A prečo aj sami od seba nesúdite toho, čo je spravedlivé?

⁵⁷`And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?

⁵⁸Lebo kým ideš so svojím protivníkom k vrchnosti, na ceste sa pričiň o to, aby si sa ho sprostil, aby ťa snáď nezavliekol k sudcovi, a sudca by ťa vydal hajdúchovi, a hajdúch by ťa uvrhnul do žalára.

⁵⁸for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into prison;

⁵⁹Hovorím ti, že nevyjdeš ztade, dokiaľ nezaplatíš aj posledného haliera.

⁵⁹I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.`
