¹When we had escaped, then they NU reads “we” learned that the island was called Malta.

¹A keď sme už boli zachránení, vtedy sme poznali, že sa ostrov volá Melita.

²The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

²A tamojší barbari nám preukázali neobyčajnú ľudomilnosť, lebo rozložili oheň a prijali nás všetkých pre dážď, ktorý bol vtedy, a pre zimu.

³But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

³A keď nasbieral Pavel hromadu raždia a priložil na oheň, vyšla vretenica z tepla a pripäla sa mu na ruku.

⁴When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

⁴A jako videli barbari zviera, že visí s jeho ruky, hovorili si medzi sebou: Tento človek je istotne vrah, ktorému, hoci sa zachránil z mora, nedala pomsta žiť.

⁵However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

⁵Ale on striasol zviera do ohňa, a nestalo sa mu nič zlého.

⁶But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

⁶Oni však očakávali, že opuchne alebo že padne razom mŕtvy. Ale keď zaveľa čakali a videli, že sa mu len nič zlého nedeje, zmenili svoju mienku a vraveli, že je boh.

⁷Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.

⁷A na okolí toho miesta mal polia najpoprednejší človek ostrova, menom Publius, ktorý nás prijal a tri dni priateľsky hostil.

⁸It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

⁸A stalo sa, že otec Publiov ležal trápený horúčkou a červienkou, ku ktorému vošiel Pavel, pomodlil sa, vzložil na neho ruky a uzdravil ho.

⁹Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.

⁹A keď sa to stalo, prichádzali aj ostatní na ostrove, ktorí boli nemocní, a boli uzdravení,

¹⁰They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.

¹⁰ktorí nás i mnohými cťami ctili, a keď sme sa mali odplaviť, nakládli, čo bolo treba na cestu.

¹¹After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was “The Twin Brothers.”

¹¹A po troch mesiacoch sme sa odplavili na alexandrínskej lodi, ktorá zimovala na ostrove a mala za odznak Dioskúrov.

¹²Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

¹²A keď sme sa doplavili do Syrakúz, pobudli sme tam tri dni,

¹³From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,

¹³odkiaľ sme išli okolo a prišli sme do Regia, a keď o deň neskoršie vial poludniak, prišli sme na druhý deň do Potiól,

¹⁴where we found brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.

¹⁴kde sme našli bratov, ktorí nás prosili, žeby sme zostali u nich sedem dní, a tak sme prišli do Ríma.

¹⁵From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.

¹⁵A odtiaľ bratia, keď počuli o nás, prišli nám naproti až po Apiovo Forum, po námestie Apiovo, a ku Tres tabernä, ku Trom krčmám. A keď ich videl Pavel, poďakoval Bohu, rozveselil sa a nabral smelosti.

¹⁶When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

¹⁶A keď sme vošli do Ríma, stotník oddal väzňov hlavnému veliteľovi, ale Pavlovi bolo dovolené bývať osebe s vojakom, ktorý ho strážil.

¹⁷It happened that after three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

¹⁷A stalo sa, že po troch dňoch si svolal Pavel popredných zo Židov, a keď sa sišli, hovoril im: Ja, mužovia bratia, hoci som neurobil ničoho na priekor izraelskému ľudu alebo proti otcovským obyčajam, vydaný som z Jeruzalema jako väzeň do rúk Rimanom,

¹⁸who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.

¹⁸ktorí, keď ma vyšetrili, chceli ma prepustiť, pretože nie je na mne nijakej viny, pre ktorú by som bol hodný smrti.

¹⁹But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

¹⁹Ale keď Židia protirečili tomu, bol som prinútený odvolať sa na cisára, no, nie ako čo by som mal niečo žalovať na svoj národ.

²⁰For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

²⁰A tak pre tú príčinu som vás povolal, aby som vás videl a poshováral sa s vami. Lebo pre nádej Izraelovu som poviazaný touto reťazou.

²¹They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

²¹A oni mu povedali: My sme nedostali ani písma o tebe z Judska, ani neprišiel nikto z bratov, ktorý by nám bol zvestoval alebo hovoril niečo zlé o tebe.

²²But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”

²²Ale uznávame za dobré počuť od teba, jako smýšľaš. Lebo o tejto sekte nám je známe, že sa jej všade protivia.

²³When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

²³A keď mu určili deň, prišli k nemu viacerí do jeho bytu. A on im vykladal vec a svedčil pevne o kráľovstve Božom a presviedčal ich o Ježišovi, jako zo zákona Mojžišovho, tak z prorokov, od rána až do večera.

²⁴Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

²⁴A jedni verili tomu, čo hovoril, druhí neverili.

²⁵When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to our fathers,

²⁵A tak nie súc jednomyseľní medzi sebou rozchádzali sa, keď povedal Pavel to jedno slovo: Dobre hovoril Svätý Duch skrze proroka Izaiáša našim otcom,

²⁶saying, ‘Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.

²⁶keď povedal: Idi k tomuto ľudu a povedz: Počuť, áno počujete, ale neporozumejte a hľadieť, i hľadieť budete, ale nevidzte!

²⁷For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’ Isaiah 6:9-10

²⁷Lebo stučnelo srdce tohoto ľudu, a ušami ťažko počuli a svoje oči zažmúrili, aby snáď nejako očami nevideli, ušami nepočuli, srdcom neporozumeli a neobrátili sa, a uzdravil by som ich.

²⁸“Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen.”

²⁸Nech vám je teda známe, že je pohanom poslané toto spasenie Božie, a oni aj budú počúvať.

²⁹When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

²⁹A keď to povedal, odišli Židia veľmi sa medzi sebou dohadujúc.

³⁰Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,

³⁰A Pavel zostal celé dva roky v byte, ktorý si sám najal, a prijímal všetkých, ktorí prichádzali k nemu,

³¹preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

³¹a kázal kráľovstvo Božie a učil o Pánu Ježišu Kristovi úplne smele a bez prekážky.
