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.
1It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also 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!
2He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3Dávaj nám náš povšedný chlieb každého dňa!
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4A odpusť nám naše hriechy, lebo aj my sami odpúšťame každému svojmu vinníkovi. A neuvoď nás v pokušenie, ale nás zbav zlého!
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
5A povedal im: Kto z vás bude mať priateľa a pojde k nemu o polnoci a povedal by mu: Priateľu, požičaj mi tri chleby,
5He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6lebo môj priateľ prišiel ku mne s cesty, a nemám, čo by som mu predložil.
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to 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.
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
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 tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9I ja vám hovorím: Proste, a bude vám dané; hľadajte a najdete; klepte a otvorí sa vám;
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
10lebo každý, kto prosí, berie; kto hľadá, nachádza, a tomu kto klepe, bude otvorené.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will 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 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12Alebo aj keby prosil za vajce, však mu len nepodá škorpiona?!
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13Ak teda vy, súc zlí, viete dávať svojim deťom dobré dary, o koľko skôr dá Otec z neba Svätého Ducha tým, ktorí ho prosia!
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
14A vyháňal démona, a ten bol nemý. A stalo sa, keď vyšiel démon, že nemý hovoril. A zástupy sa divily.
14He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15Ale niektorí z nich povedali: Belzebúbom, kniežaťom nad démonami, vyháňa démonov.
15But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16A zase iní pokúšajúc hľadali od neho znamenie z neba.
16Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17Ale on znal ich myšlienky a povedal im: Každé kráľovstvo, rozdelené proti sebe, pustne, i dom, rozdelený proti domu, padá.
17But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18A jestli je i satan rozdelený proti sebe, jako potom obstojí jeho kráľovstvo? Lebo hovoríte, že Belzebúbom vyháňam démonov.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19No, ak ja Belzebúbom vyháňam démonov, vaši synovia ich kým vyháňajú? Preto oni budú vašimi sudcami.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
20Ale ak ja prstom Božím vyháňam démonov, tak teda prišlo k vám kráľovstvo Božie.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
21Keď silný ozbrojenec stráži svoj palác, v pokoji sú jeho veci.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22Ale keby prišiel na neho silnejší, ako je on, a premohol by ho, vezme jeho zbraň, na ktorú sa nadejal, a rozdá svoju korisť.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
23Kto nie je so mnou, je proti mne: a kto so mnou neshromažďuje, rozptyľuje.
23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
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 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25A keď prijde, najde zametený a ozdobený.
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
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.
26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse 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!
27It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28Ale on povedal: Ba pravda, blahoslavení, ktorí čujú slovo Božie a zachovávajú ho!
28But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep 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.
29When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
30Lebo jako bol Jonáš znamením Ninivänom, tak bude aj Syn človeka tomuto pokoleniu.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also 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 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is 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 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33A nikto zažnúc sviecu nestavia jej na skryté miesto ani pod nádobu, ale na svietnik, aby tí, ktorí vchádzajú, videli svetlo.
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see 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. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35Hľaď tedy, aby svetlo, ktoré je v tebe, nebolo tmou!
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36Ak tedy bude celé tvoje telo svetlé, nemajúce nijakej tmavej čiastky, vtedy bude celé svetlé, jako blesk keď ťa svieca osvecuje svojím bleskom.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
37A medzitým, čo hovoril, prosil ho jakýsi farizeus, žeby obedoval u neho. A vošiel a sadol si za stôl.
37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
38A farizeus vidiac to zadivil sa, že sa prv neumyl pred obedom.
38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39A Pán mu povedal: Teraz vy farizeovia čistíte vonok pohára a misy, ale vaše vnútro je plné lúpeže a zloby.
39The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40Blázni, či ten, ktorý učinil vonok, neučinil aj vnútra?
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41Avšak len dávajte to, čo je dnu, almužnou, a hľa, všetko vám je čisté.
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be 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 woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43Beda vám, farizeovia, že milujete prvé stolice v synagógach a pozdravovania na trhoch.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
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 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45A ktorýsi zo zákonníkov odpovedal a riekol mu: Učiteľu, toto hovoriac i nás hanobíš.
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
46A on povedal: Aj vám, zákonníkom, beda, lebo kladiete na ľudí neznesiteľné bremená, ale sami sa ani jedným svojím prstom tých bremien nedotýkate.
46He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47Beda vám, že staviate prorokom náhrobky, a vaši otcovia ich povraždili!
47 Woe to you! For you 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.
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49Preto aj múdrosť Božia povedala: Pošlem k nim prorokov a apoštolov, a niektorých z nich zavraždia a niektorých budú prenasledovať,
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50aby bola vyhľadaná od tohoto pokolenia krv všetkých prorokov, vyliata od založenia sveta,
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51od krvi Ábelovej až do krvi Zachariášovej, ktorý zahynul medzi oltárom a chrámom. Áno, hovorím vám, bude vyhľadaná od tohoto pokolenia.
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52Beda vám, zákonníkom, že ste vzali kľúč známosti; sami ste nevošli a vchádzajúcim ste bránili.
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53A keď vyšiel odtiaľ, začali zákonníci a farizeovia strašne sa na neho hnevať
53As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;
54a úkladnícky sa ho na všeličo vypytovať, aby ulovili niečo z jeho úst a obžalovali ho.
54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
