¹A Ježiš odpovediac opät im hovoril v podobenstvách a povedal:

¹And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying,

²Nebeské kráľovstvo je podobné človeku-kráľovi, ktorý učinil svojmu synovi svadbu.

²`The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,

³A poslal svojich sluhov, aby išli povolať pozvaných na svadbu. Ale nechceli prijsť.

³and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.

⁴Opät poslal iných sluhov a povedal: Povedzte pozvaným: Hľa, svoj obed som prichystal, moje voly a krmný dobytok je pobitý, a všetko je hotové; poďte na svadbu!

⁴`Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;

⁵Ale oni nedbali a odišli, ktorý na vlastné pole, ktorý po svojom kupectve,

⁵and they, having disregarded [it], went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;

⁶a ostatní schopiac jeho sluhov hanebne ich doriadili a pobili.

⁶and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay [them].

⁷A keď to počul kráľ, rozhneval sa a poslal svoje vojská a zahubil tých vrahov a ich mesto podpálil.

⁷`And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;

⁸Vtedy povedal svojim sluhom: Svadba je síce hotová, ale pozvaní neboli hodni.

⁸then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,

⁹Teda iďte na rozcestia a všetkých, ktorých najdete, pozvite na svadbu.

⁹be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.

¹⁰A tí sluhovia vyšli na cesty a shromaždili všetkých, ktorých našli, zlých i dobrých, a svadobná dvorana sa naplnila hodovníkmi.

¹⁰`And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.

¹¹Ale keď vošiel kráľ podívať sa na hodovníkov, videl tam človeka neodiateho svadobným rúchom,

¹¹`And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast,

¹²a povedal mu: Priateľu, jako si sem vošiel, nemajúc svadobného rúcha? A on zanemel.

¹²and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.

¹³Vtedy povedal kráľ posluhovačom: Sviažte mu nohy aj ruky a vezmite ho a vyhoďte ho do vonkajšej tmy! Tam bude plač a škrípanie zubami.

¹³`Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;

¹⁴Lebo je mnoho povolaných, ale málo vyvolených.

¹⁴for many are called, and few chosen.`

¹⁵Vtedy odišli farizeovia a radili sa, jako by ho lapili v reči.

¹⁵Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

¹⁶A poslali k nemu svojich učeníkov s heródiánmi, ktorí mu povedali: Učiteľu, vieme, že si pravdivý a že ceste Božej učíš v pravde a nedbáš na nikoho, lebo nehľadíš na osobu ľudí;

¹⁶and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;

¹⁷povedzže nám tedy, čo sa tebe zdá: či sa má dať cisárovi daň a či nie?

¹⁷tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?`

¹⁸Ale Ježiš poznal ich zlobu a povedal: Čo ma pokúšate, pokrytci?

¹⁸And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, `Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?

¹⁹Ukážte mi daňový peniaz! A oni mu doniesli denár.

¹⁹show me the tribute-coin?` and they brought to him a denary;

²⁰A povedal im: Čí je tento obraz a nápis?

²⁰and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this image and the inscription?`

²¹A riekli: Cisárov. Vtedy im povedal: Tedy dajte, čo je cisárovo, cisárovi, a čo je Božie, Bohu.

²¹they say to him, `Caesar`s;` then saith he to them, `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;`

²²A keď to počuli, zadivili sa a zanechajúc ho odišli.

²²and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.

²³Toho dňa pristúpili k nemu sadúceovia, ktorí hovoria, že nieto zmŕtvychvstania, a opýtali sa ho

²³In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

²⁴a riekli: Učiteľu, Mojžiš povedal: Keby niekto zomrel nemajúc detí, nech si jeho brat švagrovským právom vezme jeho ženu a vzbudí svojmu bratovi semeno.

²⁴`Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother.

²⁵Nuž bolo u nás sedem bratov, a prvý oženiac sa zomrel a pretože nemal semena, zanechal svoju ženu svojmu bratovi.

²⁵`And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;

²⁶Tak podobne aj druhý aj tretí až do siedmeho.

²⁶in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,

²⁷A naposledy po všetkých zomrela aj žena.

²⁷and last of all died also the woman;

²⁸Pri zmŕtvychvstaní tedy ktorého z tých siedmich bude ženou, lebo ju všetci mali?

²⁸therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife — for all had her?`

²⁹A Ježiš odpovedal a riekol im: Blúdite, pretože neznáte písem ani moci Božej;

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;

³⁰lebo pri zmŕtvychvstaní nebudú sa ani ženiť ani vydávať, ale budú jako anjelia Boží v nebi.

³⁰for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.

³¹A o zmŕtvychvstaní mŕtvych či ste nečítali, čo vám je povedané od Boha, ktorý povedal:

³¹`And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

³²Ja som Bôh Abrahámov, Bôh Izákov a Bôh Jakobov? Bôh nie je Bohom mŕtvych, ale živých.

³²I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.`

³³A keď to počuly zástupy, žasly nad jeho učením.

³³And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;

³⁴Ale farizeovia počujúc že umlčal sadúceov, sišli sa dovedna,

³⁴and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

³⁵a jeden z nich, zákonník sa opýtal pokúšajúc ho a povedal:

³⁵and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,

³⁶Učiteľu, ktoré prikázanie je veľké v zákone?

³⁶`Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?`

³⁷A Ježiš mu riekol: Milovať budeš Pána, svojeho Boha, celým svojím srdcom, celou svojou dušou a celou svojou mysľou!

³⁷And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding —

³⁸To je to veľké a prvé prikázanie.

³⁸this is a first and great command;

³⁹A druhé, tomu podobné je: Milovať budeš svojho blížneho jako samého seba!

³⁹and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;

⁴⁰Na týchto dvoch prikázaniach visí celý zákon i proroci.

⁴⁰on these — the two commands — all the law and the prophets do hang.`

⁴¹A keď sa sišli farizeovia, opýtal sa ich Ježiš

⁴¹And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,

⁴²a riekol: Čo sa vám zdá o Kristovi, čí je syn? Povedali mu: Dávidov.

⁴²saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?` They say to him, `Of David.`

⁴³A povedal im: Ako ho tedy Dávid v Duchu nazýva Pánom, keď hovorí:

⁴³He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,

⁴⁴Pán riekol môjmu Pánovi: Seď po mojej pravici, dokiaľ nepoložím tvojich nepriateľov za podnož tvojich nôh.

⁴⁴The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?

⁴⁵Ak ho tedy Dávid nazýva svojím Pánom, ako je potom jeho synom?

⁴⁵If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?`

⁴⁶A nikto mu nemohol odpovedať ani slova, ani sa ho viacej od toho dňa nikto neopovážil opytovať.

⁴⁶And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.
