¹The high priest said, “Are these things so?”

¹A najvyšší kňaz povedal: Či je teda tomu tak?

²He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

²A on riekol: Mužovia bratia a otcovia, počujte! Bôh slávy sa ukázal nášmu otcovi Abrahámovi, keď bol v Mezopotámii, prv ako býval v Chárane,

³and said to him, ‘Get out of your land, and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’ Genesis 12:1

³a povedal mu: Vyjdi zo svojej zeme a zo svojho príbuzenstva a poď do zeme, ktorú ti ukážem.

⁴Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, where you are now living.

⁴Vtedy vyšiel zo zeme Chaldejov a býval v Chárane, a odtiaľ, keď zomrel jeho otec, ho prestehoval do tejto zeme, v ktorej teraz vy bývate.

⁵He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when he still had no child.

⁵A nedal mu v nej dedičstva ani na stopu nohy a zasľúbil, že mu ju dá do vlastníctva i jeho semenu po ňom, vtedy, keď ešte nemal dieťaťa.

⁶God spoke in this way: that his seed would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.

⁶A takto povedal Bôh, že totiž jeho semä bude pohostínom v cudzej zemi, a zotročia ho a budú s ním zle nakladať štyristo rokov.

⁷‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that will they come out, and serve me in this place.’ Genesis 15:13-14

⁷Ale národ, ktorému budú slúžiť, budem ja súdiť, povedal Bôh, a potom vyjdú a budú mi svätoslúžiť na tomto mieste.

⁸He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.

⁸A dal mu smluvu obriezky, a tak splodil Izáka a obrezal ho ôsmeho dňa, a Izák splodil Jakoba a Jakob dvanástich patriarchov.

⁹“The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him,

⁹A patriarchovia závidiac Jozefovi predali ho do Egypta, ale Bôh bol s ním

¹⁰and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹⁰a vytrhol si ho zo všetkých jeho súžení a dal mu milosť a múdrosť pred faraonom, kráľom Egypta, a ustanovil ho za správcu nad Egyptom i nad celým svojím domom.

¹¹Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.

¹¹Potom prišiel hlad na celý Egypt a na Kanaán a veľké súženie, a naši otcovia nachádzali potravín.

¹²But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.

¹²A keď počul Jakob, že je obilie v Egypte, vyslal najprv našich otcov,

¹³On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s race was revealed to Pharaoh.

¹³a po druhé sa dal Jozef poznať svojim bratom, a faraon sa dozvedel o rode Jozefovom.

¹⁴Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.

¹⁴Vtedy poslal Jozef povolať k sebe Jakoba, svojho otca, a celú svoju rodinu v sedemdesiatich piatich dušiach.

¹⁵Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,

¹⁵A Jakob sišiel dolu do Egypta a zomrel on i naši otcovia,

¹⁶and they were brought back to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.

¹⁶a preniesli ich do Sichema a pochovali v hrobe, ktorý bol kúpil Abrahám za cenu striebra od synov Emora, otca Sichemovho.

¹⁷“But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁷Ale jako sa blížil čas zasľúbenia, ktoré s prísahou dal Bôh Abrahámovi, rástol ľud a množil sa v Egypte,

¹⁸until there arose a different king, who didn’t know Joseph.

¹⁸dokiaľ nepovstal iný kráľ nad Egyptom, ktorý neznal Jozefa.

¹⁹The same took advantage of our race, and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to throw out their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.

¹⁹Ten preľstil náš rod a tak trápil našich otcov, že museli vyhadzovať svoje nemluvňatá, aby nezostaly nažive.

²⁰At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.

²⁰V tom čase sa narodil Mojžiš a bol krásny Bohu, a chovali ho tri mesiace v dome jeho otca.

²¹When he was thrown out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.

²¹A keď ho vyložili, zdvihla a vzala ho dcéra faraonova a vychovala si ho sebe za syna.

²²Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.

²²A vyučili Mojžiša všetkej múdrosti Egypťanov, a bol mocný vo svojich slovách i skutkoch.

²³But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , the children of Israel.

²³A keď mu bolo štyridsať rokov, vzišlo na jeho srdce, aby navštívil svojich bratov, synov Izraelových.

²⁴Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.

²⁴A vidiac ktoréhosi z nich, že sa mu krivdí, zastal sa ho a pomstil toho, ktorému sa diala krivda, zabijúc Egypťana.

²⁵He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.

²⁵A domnieval sa, že jeho bratia rozumejú, že im Bôh skrze jeho ruku podáva záchranu. Ale oni neporozumeli.

²⁶“The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’

²⁶Potom nasledujúceho dňa sa im ukázal, keď sa vadili, a hnal ich k pokoju a povedal: Mužovia, bratia ste, prečo si navzájom krivdíte?

²⁷But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁷Ale ten, ktorý krivdil blížnemu, odsotil ho a povedal: Kto teba ustanovil za knieža alebo za sudcu nad nami?

²⁸Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’ Exodus 2:14

²⁸Či ma ty chceš zabiť, ako si včera zabil toho Egypťana?

²⁹Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

²⁹A Mojžiš utiekol pre to slovo a stal sa pohostínom v Madiansku, kde splodil dvoch synov.

³⁰“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

³⁰A keď sa naplnilo zase štyridsať rokov, ukázal sa mu anjel Pánov na púšti vrchu Sinai v plameni ohňa, vystupujúcom z kra.

³¹When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came to him,

³¹A keď to videl Mojžiš, divil sa videniu a keď sa išiel podívať na to, povedal mu hlas Pánov:

³²‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Exodus 3:6 Moses trembled, and dared not look.

³²Ja som Bôh tvojich otcov, Bôh Abrahámov, Bôh Izákov a Bôh Jakobov. A Mojžiš sa zhrozil, až sa triasol od strachu a neopovážil sa pozrieť.

³³The Lord said to him, ‘Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

³³A Pán mu povedal: Sozuj svoju obuv so svojich nôh, lebo miesto, na ktorom stojíš, je svätá zem.

³⁴I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’ Exodus 3:5,7-8,10

³⁴Videl, áno videl som trápenie svojho ľudu, ktorý je v Egypte, a počul som ich vzdychanie a sostúpil som, aby som ich vyslobodil. A tak teraz poď, nech ťa pošlem do Egypta.

³⁵“This Moses, whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

³⁵Toho Mojžiša, ktorého zapreli povediac: Kto teba ustanovil za knieža alebo za sudcu? práve toho poslal Bôh ako knieža a vykupiteľa prostredníctvom anjela, ktorý sa mu ukázal v kre.

³⁶This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.

³⁶Ten ich vyviedol učiniac zázraky a divy v Egypte i na Červenom mori i na púšti, a tak to robil štyridsať rokov.

³⁷This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. TR adds “You shall listen to him.” ’ Deuteronomy 18:15

³⁷To je ten Mojžiš, ktorý povedal synom Izraelovým: Proroka vám vzbudí Pán, váš Bôh, zpomedzi vašich bratov, ako mňa, toho budete poslúchať.

³⁸This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us,

³⁸To je ten, ktorý to bol v sbore ľudu na púšti s anjelom, ktorý mu hovoril na vrchu Sinai, i s našimi otcami, ktorý prijal živé slová, aby ich dal nám,

³⁹to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

³⁹ktorého nechceli poslúchať naši otcovia, ale ho odsotili a obrátili sa svojimi srdcami do Egypta

⁴⁰saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’ Exodus 32:1

⁴⁰povediac Áronovi: Sprav nám bohov, ktorí pojdú pred nami, lebo ten Mojžiš, ktorý nás vyviedol s Egyptskej zeme, nevieme, čo sa mu stalo.

⁴¹They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

⁴¹A spravili si v tých dňoch teľa a obetovali modle obeť a veselili sa v dielach svojich rúk.

⁴²But God turned, and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, This idiom could also be translated “host of heaven,” or “angelic beings,” or “heavenly bodies.” as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴²Ale Bôh sa odvrátil a vydal ich, aby slúžili nebeskému vojsku, jako je napísané v knihe prorokov: Či ste mi azda za štyridsať rokov doniesli bitné a iné obeti na púšti, dome Izraelov?

⁴³You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship. I will carry you away Amos 5:25-27 beyond Babylon.’

⁴³A vzali ste a nosili stán Molochov a hviezdu svojho boha Remfana, podoby, ktorých ste si narobili, aby ste sa im klaňali, a preto vás presídlim ta za Babylon.

⁴⁴“Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;

⁴⁴Stán svedoctva mali naši otcovia na púšti, jako bol nariadil ten, ktorý hovoril Mojžišovi, aby ho urobil podľa vzoru, ktorý bol videl,

⁴⁵which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David,

⁴⁵ktorý to stán prevzali naši otcovia i vniesli s Jozuom do zeme, ktorá bola vlastníctvom pohanov, ktorých Bôh vyhnal zpred tvári našich otcov, čo tak trvalo až do dní Dávida,

⁴⁶who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁶ktorý našiel milosť pred Bohom a prosil, žeby smel najsť príbytok Bohu Jakobovmu.

⁴⁷But Solomon built him a house.

⁴⁷A Šalamún mu vystavil dom.

⁴⁸However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

⁴⁸Ale Najvyšší nebýva v chrámoch, učinených rukou, jako hovorí prorok:

⁴⁹‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord; ‘or what is the place of my rest?

⁴⁹Nebo mi je trónom a zem podnožou mojim nohám; akýže mi vystavíte dom? hovorí Pán. Alebo kde jaké je miesto môjho odpočinku?

⁵⁰Didn’t my hand make all these things?’ Isaiah 66:1-2

⁵⁰Či toho všetkého neučinila moja ruka?

⁵¹“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

⁵¹Tvrdošijní a neobrezaného srdca aj uší, vy sa vždycky protivíte Svätému Duchu, jako vaši otcovia, tak aj vy.

⁵²Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.

⁵²Ktoréhože z prorokov neprenasledovali vaši otcovia? A pobili tých, ktorí predzvestovali o príchode toho Spravedlivého, ktorého ste sa vy teraz stali zradcami a vrahmi,

⁵³You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

⁵³ktorí ste vzali zákon na nariadenia anjelov a nezachovali ste.

⁵⁴Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

⁵⁴A keď to počuli, bolo im, ako by ich bodnul do srdca, a zúriac v hneve škrípali zubami na neho.

⁵⁵But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁵A on súc plný Svätého Ducha uprel zrak do neba a videl slávu Božiu a Ježiša stáť po pravici Božej

⁵⁶and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

⁵⁶a povedal: Hľa, vidím nebesia otvorené a Syna človeka stáť po pravici Božej!

⁵⁷But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.

⁵⁷A oni skríkli velikým hlasom, zapchali si uši a jednomyseľne sa vrhli na neho

⁵⁸They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁵⁸a vyženúc ho von z mesta kameňovali. A svedkovia si složili svoje rúcha k nohám mládenca, ktorý sa volal Saul.

⁵⁹They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

⁵⁹A kameňovali Štefana, ktorý volal na Pána a hovoril: Pane Ježišu, prijmi môjho ducha!

⁶⁰He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

⁶⁰A skloniac kolená skríkol velikým hlasom: Pane, nepočítaj im tohoto hriechu! A keď to povedal, usnul.

⁶¹A Saul súhlasil s jeho zabitím.
