1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
1A toho dňa povstalo veľké prenasledovanie na cirkev, ktorá bola v Jeruzaleme, a všetci sa rozpŕchli po krajoch Judska a Samárie, krome apoštolov.
2Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.
2A pobožní mužovia pochovali Štefana a plakali veľmi nad ním.
3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.
3A Saul len hubil cirkev vnikajúc do domov a vláčil mužov i ženy a dával ich do žalára.
4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
4A tak tí, ktorí sa rozpŕchli, prešli každý svojou stranou a zvestovali slovo.
5Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.
5A Filip sišiel do mesta Samárie a kázal im Krista.
6The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
6A zástupy jednomyseľne pozorovaly na to, čo hovoril Filip, čujúc a vidiac divy, ktoré činil.
7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
7Lebo z mnohých, ktorí mali nečistých duchov, vychádzali duchovia a kričali velikým hlasom, aj mnohí porazení a chromí boli uzdravení.
8There was great joy in that city.
8A povstala veliká radosť v tom meste.
9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
9A nejaký muž, menom Šimon, prevádzal predtým v tom meste čary a plnil samársky národ úžasom hovoriac o sebe, že je kýmsi velikým,
10to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
10na ktorého pozorovali všetci od malého až do veľkého a hovorili: Tento je tou velikou mocou Božou.
11They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
11A pozorovali na neho preto, že ich za dlhý čas naplňoval úžasom svojimi čary.
12But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12Ale keď uverili Filipovi, ktorý im zvestoval o kráľovstve Božom a o mene Pána Ježiša Krista, krstili sa mužovia a ženy.
13Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
13A uveril aj sám Šimon a keď bol pokrstený, pridŕžal sa Filipa. A vidiac, že sa dejú divy a veľké moci, žasnul.
14Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
14A keď počuli apoštolovia, ktorí boli v Jeruzaleme, že Samária prijala slovo Božie, poslali k nim Petra a Jána,
15who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
15ktorí, keď ta sišli, modlili sa za nich, žeby dostali Svätého Ducha,
16for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
16lebo ešte nebol sostúpil na niktorého z nich, a boli len pokrstení v meno Pána Ježiša.
17Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
17Vtedy vzkladali na nich ruky, a dostávali Svätého Ducha.
18Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
18A keď videl Šimon, že vzkladaním rúk apoštolov dáva sa Svätý Duch, doniesol im peniaze
19saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
19a povedal: Dajte i mne tú moc, aby ten, na koho by som položil ruky, dostal Svätého Ducha.
20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
20A Peter mu povedal: Tvoje peniaze nech sú i s tebou na zatratenie, pretože si sa domnieval, že dar Boží možno nadobudnúť si za peniaze.
21You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
21Nemáš dielu ani losu v tejto veci, lebo tvoje srdce nie je priame pred Bohom.
22Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
22Preto čiň pokánie z tejto svojej nešľachetnosti a pros Pána, ak by ti azda mohol byť odpustený úmysel tvojho srdca,
23For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
23lebo vidím, že si v horkej žlči a v putách neprávosti.
24Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
24A Šimon odpovedal a riekol: Proste vy za mňa u Pána, žeby neprišlo na mňa nič z toho, čo ste povedali.
25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
25A oni osvedčiac dôrazne a pohovoriac slovo Pánovo vrátili sa do Jeruzalema a cestou zvestovali v mnohých samaritánskych mestečkách evanjelium.
26But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
26A anjel Pánov prehovoril k Filipovi a povedal: Vstaň a idi smerom na poludnie, na cestu, ktorá vedie z Jeruzalema dolu do Gazy. Tá cesta je pustá.
27He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
27A vstal a išiel. A hľa, videl muža Ethiopa, eunúcha, veľmoža Kandáky, kráľovnej Ethiopov, ktorý bol nad všetkými jej pokladmi a ktorý bol prišiel do Jeruzalema modliť sa
28He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
28a navracoval sa a sedel na svojom voze a čítal proroka Izaiáša.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
29A Duch povedal Filipovi: Pristúp a pripoj sa k tomu vozu.
30Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
30A keď pribehol Filip, počul ho, že číta proroka Izaiáša, a povedal: A či aj rozumieš, čo čítaš?
31He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
31A on povedal: Ako by som mohol rozumieť, keď mi niekto nevyloží? A poprosil Filipa, žeby vyšiel a sadol si s ním.
32Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
32A obsah písma, ktoré čítal, bol tento: Vedený bol ako ovca na zabitie, a jako sa baránok neohlási pred tým, kto ho strihá, tak neotvoril svojich úst.
33In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.” Isaiah 53:7,8
33V jeho ponížení bol vyzdvihnutý jeho súd, a jeho rod kto vyrozpráva! Lebo jeho život sa berie so zeme.
34The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
34A eunúch odpovedal Filipovi a riekol: Prosím ťa, o kom to hovorí prorok, sám o sebe a či o niekom inom?
35Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
35Tu otvoril Filip svoje ústa a počnúc od tohoto písma zvestoval mu Ježiša.
36As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
36A jako tak išli cestou, prišli k akejsi vode, a eunúch povedal: Hľa, voda; čo mi prekáža dať sa pokrstiť?
37 TR adds “Philip said, ‘If you believe with all your heart, you may.’ He answered, ‘I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.’”
37A Filip riekol: Ak veríš z celého srdca, slobodno. A odpovedal a riekol: Verím, že Ježiš Kristus je syn Boží.
38He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
38A rozkázal vozu, aby postál, a sišli obidvaja do vody, Filip aj eunúch, a pokrstil ho.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
39A keď vyšli z vody, Duch Pánov uchvátil Filipa, a eunúch ho viacej nevidel, lebo išiel svojou cestou radujúc sa.
40But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
40A Filip sa našiel v Azóte a chodiac zvestoval všetkým tým mestám evanjelium, až prišiel do Cezáree.
