¹A povedal im aj podobenstvo na to, že je treba vždycky sa modliť a neustávať.

¹And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,

²Bol vraj v istom meste nejaký sudca, ktorý sa Boha nebál a človeka nehanbil.

²saying, `A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —

³A bola v tom istom meste jakási vdova, ktorá chodila k nemu a hovorila: Pomsti ma nad mojím protivníkom a vysloboď ma od neho!

³and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

⁴A nechcel za čas. Ale potom povedal sám v sebe: Hoci sa ani Boha nebojím ani človeka sa nehanbím,

⁴and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

⁵ale preto, že mi táto vdova nedá pokoja, pomstím ju, nech mi tu nechodí naveky a netrápi ma.

⁵yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.`

⁶A Pán povedal: Počujte, čo hovorí ten nespravedlivý sudca!

⁶And the Lord said, `Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:

⁷A čo by Bôh nepomstil svojich vyvolených, ktorí volajú k nemu dňom i nocou, hoc aj pri nich zhovieva?

⁷and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to them?

⁸Ba hovorím vám, že ich pomstí, a to skoro. Avšak keď prijde Syn človeka, či aj najde vieru na zemi?

⁸I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?`

⁹A povedal i proti niektorým, ktorí dúfali v sebe, že sú spravedliví a ostatných nemali za nič, toto podobenstvo:

⁹And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:

¹⁰Dvaja mužovia išli hore do chrámu modliť sa. Jeden bol farizeus a druhý publikán.

¹⁰`Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;

¹¹Farizeus si zastal a takto sa modlil u seba: Bože, ďakujem ti, že nie som ako ostatní ľudia, dráči, nespravedliví, cudzoložníci alebo aj ako tento publikán.

¹¹the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

¹²Postím sa dva razy do týždňa a dávam desiatky zo všetkých príjmov.

¹²I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.

¹³A publikán stojac zďaleka nechcel ani len oči pozdvihnúť k nebu, ale sa bil do pŕs a hovoril: Ó, Bože, buď milostivý mne hriešnemu!

¹³`And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the sinner!

¹⁴Hovorím vám, že tento odišiel ospravedlnený dolu do svojho domu a nie tamten. Lebo každý, kto sa povyšuje, bude ponížený; a kto sa ponižuje, bude povýšený.

¹⁴I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.`

¹⁵A donášali mu aj nemluvňatá, aby sa ich dotýkal. A keď to videli učeníci, dohovárali im.

¹⁵And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,

¹⁶Ale Ježiš privolajúc si deti povedal: Nechajte dieťatká ísť ku mne a nebráňte im, lebo takých je kráľovstvo Božie.

¹⁶and Jesus having called them near, said, `Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

¹⁷Ameň vám hovorím, že kto by neprijal kráľovstva Božieho jako dieťa, nikdy nevojde do neho.

¹⁷verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.`

¹⁸A opýtalo sa ho ktorési knieža a rieklo: Dobrý Učiteľu, čo mám činiť, aby som dedične obdržal večný život?

¹⁸And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, `Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?`

¹⁹A Ježiš mu odpovedal: Čo ma nazývaš dobrým? Nikto nie je dobrý, iba jeden, Bôh.

¹⁹And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good, except One — God;

²⁰A prikázania vieš: Nezcudzoložíš, nezabiješ, neukradneš, nevydáš falošného svedoctva, cti svojho otca i svoju mať!

²⁰the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.`

²¹A on povedal: To všetko som zachoval od svojej mladosti.

²¹And he said, `All these I did keep from my youth;`

²²A keď to počul Ježiš, povedal mu: Ešte ti jedno chýba: predaj všetko, čo máš, a rozdaj chudobným a budeš mať poklad v nebi a poď, nasleduj ma!

²²and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, `Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;`

²³Ale on počujúc to veľmi sa zarmútil, lebo bol veľmi bohatý.

²³and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.

²⁴A keď ho videl Ježiš, že sa veľmi zarmútil, povedal: Ako ťažko vojdú do kráľovstva Božieho tí, ktorí majú majetky!

²⁴And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!

²⁵Lebo ľahšie je veľblúdovi prejsť cez ihelnú dierku ako bohatému vojsť do kráľovstva Božieho.

²⁵for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.`

²⁶Vtedy povedali tí, ktorí to počuli: A kto potom môže byť spasený?

²⁶And those who heard, said, `And who is able to be saved?`

²⁷A on povedal: To, čo je nemožné u ľudí, je možné u Boha.

²⁷and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.`

²⁸A Peter povedal: Hľa, my sme opustili všetko a išli sme za tebou -.

²⁸And Peter said, `Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;`

²⁹A on im povedal: Ameň vám hovorím, že nieto nikoho, kto by opustil dom alebo rodičov alebo bratov alebo manželku alebo deti pre kráľovstvo Božie,

²⁹and he said to them, `Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,

³⁰kto by už v tomto čase nedostal mnohonásobne viac a v budúcom veku večného života.

³⁰who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.`

³¹A pojmúc si dvanástich povedal im: Hľa, ideme hore do Jeruzalema, a naplní sa Synovi človeka všetko, čo je napísané skrze prorokov;

³¹And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,

³²lebo ho vydajú pohanom, naposmievajú sa mu, zhanobia, opľujú

³²for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,

³³a zbičujúc zabijú ho, ale tretieho dňa vstane z mŕtvych.

³³and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.`

³⁴Ale oni neporozumeli ničomu z toho, a bolo skryté pred nimi to slovo, ani nevedeli, čo sa to hovorí.

³⁴And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.

³⁵A stalo sa, keď sa blížil k Jerichu, že nejaký slepý sedel vedľa cesty a žobral.

³⁵And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,

³⁶A keď počul zástup, idúci pomimo, vypytoval sa, čo je to?

³⁶and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,

³⁷A oznámili mu, že Ježiš Nazarejský ide tade.

³⁷and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,

³⁸Vtedy skríkol a povedal: Ježišu, synu Dávidov, zmiluj sa nado mnou!

³⁸and he cried out, saying, `Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;`

³⁹A tí, ktorí išli popredku, dohovárali mu, aby mlčal, ale on tým väčšmi kričal: Synu Dávidov, zmiluj sa nado mnou!

³⁹and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.`

⁴⁰Vtedy postál Ježiš a rozkázal, aby ho priviedli k nemu. A keď sa priblížil, opýtal sa ho:

⁴⁰And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,

⁴¹Čo chceš, aby som ti učinil? A on povedal: Pane, aby som videl.

⁴¹saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?` and he said, `Sir, that I may receive sight.`

⁴²A Ježiš mu povedal: Vidz! Tvoja viera ťa uzdravila.

⁴²And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;`

⁴³A naskutku prezrel a išiel za ním oslavujúc Boha. A všetok ľud vidiac to vzdal chválu Bohu.

⁴³and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
