¹The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

¹Prvú knihu som napísal, Teofíle, o všetkom, čo započal Ježiš činiť a učiť,

²until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

²až do toho dňa, ktorého vzatý bol hore do neba, keď už bol dal skrze Svätého Ducha prikázania apoštolom, ktorých si vyvolil,

³To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God’s Kingdom.

³ktorým sa aj zjavoval živý po svojom utrpení mnohými dôkazmi ukazujúc sa im štyridsať dní a hovoriac s nimi o kráľovstve Božom.

⁴Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.

⁴A shromažďujúc sa s nimi prikazoval im, aby neodchádzali z Jeruzalema, ale aby čakali zasľúbenie Otcovo, o ktorom zasľúbení ste vraj počuli od mňa;

⁵ For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

⁵totiž že Ján krstil vodou, ale vy budete pokrstení Svätým Duchom už o nie mnoho dní.

⁶Therefore when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

⁶A oni síduc sa pýtali sa ho a vraveli: Pane, či v tomto čase obnovíš Izraelovi kráľovstvo?

⁷He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

⁷A on im povedal: To nie je vašou vecou zvedieť časy alebo jednotlivé doby, ktoré si Otec uložil vo svojej vlastnej moci,

⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

⁸ale prijmete moc Svätého Ducha, ktorý prijde na vás, a budete mi svedkami i v Jeruzaleme i po celom Judsku i v Samárii a tak až do poslednej končiny zeme.

⁹When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹A keď to povedal, zdvihnutý bol hore, kým oni hľadeli na to, a podňal ho oblak a vzal zpred ich očí.

¹⁰While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,

¹⁰A jako v tom, čo odchádzal, upretým zrakom hľadeli do neba, tu hľa, dvaja mužovia sa postavili vedľa nich v bielom rúchu,

¹¹who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

¹¹ktorí aj povedali: Galilejskí mužovia, čo tu stojíte a hľadíte do neba? Tento Ježiš, ktorí bol vzatý od vás hore do neba, prijde tak, ako ste ho videli ísť do neba.

¹²Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

¹²Vtedy sa vrátili do Jeruzalema s vrchu, zvaného Olivového, ktorý je blízko Jeruzalema, na cestu sobotného dňa od neho.

¹³When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

¹³A keď vošli do mesta, vyšli do vrchnej dvorany, kde sa zdržovali Peter a Jakob a Ján a Andrej, Filip a Tomáš, Bartolomeus a Matúš, Jakob Alfeov a Šimon Zelóta, Horlivec, a Júdas Jakobov.

¹⁴All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

¹⁴Títo všetci zotrvávali jednomyseľne na modlitbe a v pokornej prosbe so ženami a s Máriou, matkou Ježišovou, i s jeho bratmi.

¹⁵In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,

¹⁵A v tých dňoch vstal Peter v strede učeníkov (a bol tam vovedne zástup tak asi sto dvadsať duší) a povedal:

¹⁶“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

¹⁶Mužovia bratia, muselo sa naplniť písmo, ktoré predpovedal Svätý Duch skrze ústa Dávidove o Judášovi, ktorý sa stal vodcom tým, ktorí zajali Ježiša,

¹⁷For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

¹⁷pretože bol počítaný k nám a bol dostal podiel na tejto službe.

¹⁸Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.

¹⁸Ten si teda nadobudol pole za mzdu neprávosti a svaliac sa strmhlav rozpukol sa napoly, a vykydly sa všetky jeho vnútornosti.

¹⁹It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’

¹⁹A stalo sa to známym všetkým, ktorí bývajú v Jeruzaleme, takže je nazvané to pole ich vlastným nárečím: Akeldama, to jest Pole krvi.

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;’ Psalm 69:25 and, ‘Let another take his office.’ Psalm 109:8

²⁰Lebo je napísané v knihe žalmov: Nech je jeho príbytok pustý, a nech nie je nikoho, kto by býval v ňom! a: Jeho biskupstvo nech vezme iný!

²¹“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²¹Musí teda jeden z týchto mužov, ktorí sa s nami schádzali po celý čas, v ktorom Pán Ježiš vchádzal a vychádzal, žil a obcoval medzi nami,

²²beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

²²počnúc od krstu Jánovho až do dňa, v ktorom bol vzatý od nás hore do neba, byť s nami svedkom jeho zmŕtvychvstania.

²³They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²³A tak postavili dvoch, Jozefa, zvaného Barsabáša, ktorý mal prímeno Justus, Spravedlivý, a Mateja.

²⁴They prayed, and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

²⁴A pomodliac sa povedali: Ty, Pane, ktorý znáš srdcia všetkých ľudí, ukáž, prosíme, z týchto dvoch toho jedného, ktorého si si vyvolil,

²⁵to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

²⁵aby dostal podiel na tejto službe a na apoštolstve, odkiaľ odstúpil Judáš, aby odišiel na svoje vlastné miesto.

²⁶They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

²⁶A dali im losy, a los padol na Mateja, a bol spolu počítaný s jedonástimi apoštolmi.
