¹V tom čase počul Heródes, jedno z tamojších štyroch kniežat, chýr o Ježišovi

¹At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,

²a povedal svojim služobníkom: To je Ján Krstiteľ, on vstal z mŕtvych, a preto pôsobia v ňom tie divotvorné moci.

²and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.`

³Lebo Heródes chopil Jána a poviazal ho a vsadil do žalára pre Heródiadu, ženu Filipa, svojho brata.

³For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip`s wife,

⁴Lebo Ján mu hovoril: Nepatrí sa ti ju mať.

⁴for John was saying to him, `It is not lawful to thee to have her,`

⁵A chcel ho zabiť, ale sa bál ľudu, lebo ho mali za proroka.

⁵and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

⁶Ale potom, keď slávili narodeniny Heródesove, tancovala dcéra Heródiady v prostredku a zaľúbila sa Heródesovi.

⁶But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,

⁷A preto jej sľúbil s prísahou, že jej dá, čokoľvek by si žiadala.

⁷whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.

⁸A ona, súc navedená od svojej matere, povedala: Daj mi tu na mise hlavu Jána Krstiteľa.

⁸And she having been instigated by her mother — `Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist;

⁹A kráľ sa zarmútil, ale pre prísahu a pre spolustolujúcich rozkázal dať.

⁹and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;

¹⁰A pošlúc kata sťal Jána v žalári.

¹⁰and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,

¹¹A donesená bola jeho hlava na mise a daná dievčaťu, a zaniesla svojej materi.

¹¹and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother.

¹²Potom tam prišli jeho učeníci, vzali jeho telo a pochovali ho; a prišli a zvestovali to Ježišovi.

¹²And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,

¹³A keď to počul Ježiš, odišiel odtiaľ na lodi na pusté miesto, osobitne. A počujúc o tom zástupy išly pešo za ním z tých miest.

¹³and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.

¹⁴A keď vyšiel odtiaľ Ježiš, videl veliký zástup a zľutoval sa nad nimi a uzdravoval ich chorých.

¹⁴And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;

¹⁵A keď bol večer, pristúpili k nemu jeho učeníci a povedali: Miesto je tu pusté, a čas už prešiel; prepusti zástupy, aby odíduc do mestečiek nakúpili si potravy.

¹⁵and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, `The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.`

¹⁶Ale Ježiš im povedal: Nie je im treba odísť, dajte im vy jesť.

¹⁶And Jesus said to them, `They have no need to go away — give ye them to eat.`

¹⁷A oni mu povedali: Nemáme tu iba päť chlebov a dve ryby.

¹⁷And they say to him, `We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.`

¹⁸A on im povedal: Doneste mi ich sem!

¹⁸And he said, `Bring ye them to me hither.`

¹⁹A rozkázal zástupom, aby si posadali na tráve, a vzal tých päť chlebov a tie dve ryby a vzhliadnuc do neba požehnal a lámuc dával chleby učeníkom a učeníci dávali zástupom.

¹⁹And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,

²⁰A jedli všetci a nasýtili sa, a sobrali, čo zostalo zvýšených kúskov, dvanásť plných košov.

²⁰and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;

²¹A tých, ktorí jedli, bolo asi päť tisíc mužov, krome žien a detí.

²¹and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.

²²A Ježiš hneď prinútil svojich učeníkov, aby vstúpili do lode a predišli ho na druhú stranu, dokiaľ by vraj nerozpustil zástupov.

²²And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;

²³A rozpustiac zástupy vyšiel na vrch osobitne modliť sa. A keď bol večer, bol tam sám.

²³and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was there alone,

²⁴A loď už bola naprostred mori, zmietaná vlnami, pretože bol odporný vietor.

²⁴and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

²⁵Potom za štvrtej stráže vnoci prišiel k nim Ježiš chodiac po mori.

²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,

²⁶A učeníci vidiac ho chodiť po mori zľakli sa a vraveli, že je to nejaká obluda, a skríkli od strachu.

²⁶and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying — `It is an apparition,` and from the fear they cried out;

²⁷Ale Ježiš hneď prehovoril k nim a povedal: Dúfajte, ja som, nebojte sa!

²⁷and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.`

²⁸A Peter mu odpovedal a riekol: Pane, ak si to ty, rozkáž mi, aby som prišiel za tebou po vodách.

²⁸And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;`

²⁹A on povedal: Poď! A Peter sostúpiac s lode chodil po vodách a prišiel k Ježišovi.

²⁹and he said, `Come;` and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,

³⁰Ale hľadiac na silný vietor začal sa báť a počnúc sa noriť skríkol a povedal: Pane, zachráň ma!

³⁰but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.`

³¹A Ježiš hneď vystrel ruku, zachytil ho a povedal mu: Človeče malej viery, prečo si pochyboval?

³¹And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?`

³²A keď vyšli hore do lode, utíchol vietor.

³²and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,

³³A tí, ktorí boli na lodi, pristúpili, klaňali sa mu a hovorili: Si naozaj Syn Boží!

³³and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly — God`s Son art thou.`

³⁴A preplaviac sa prišli do zeme Genezareta.

³⁴And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,

³⁵A keď ho poznali mužovia toho miesta, rozposlali poslov po celom tom okolí, a podonášali mu všetkých, ktorí sa zle mali,

³⁵and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,

³⁶a prosili ho, žeby im dovolil, aby sa aspoň dotkli lemu jeho rúcha, a ktorí sa ho dotkli, ozdraveli.

³⁶and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.
