Skutky Apoštolů 16
1 Přišel pak do Derben a do Lystry, aj, učedlník jeden tu byl, jménem Timoteus, syn nějaké ženy Židovky věřící, ale otce měl Řeka.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;
2 Tomu svědectví vydávali bratří ti, kteříž byli v Lystře a v Ikonii.
Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.
3 Toho sobě oblíbil Pavel, aby s ním šel. I pojav ho, obřezal jej, pro Židy, kteříž byli v těch místech; nebo věděli všickni, že otec jeho byl Řek.
Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.
4 A když chodili po městech, vydávali jim k ostříhání ustanovení zřízená od apoštolů a od starších, kteříž byli v Jeruzalémě.
And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.
5 A tak církve utvrzovaly se u víře, a rozmáhaly se v počtu na každý den.
So the churches were made strong in the faith and were increased in number every day.
6 A prošedše Frygii i Galatskou krajinu, když jim zabráněno od Ducha svatého, aby nemluvili slova v Azii,
And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;
7 Přišedše do Myzie, pokoušeli se jíti do Bitynie. Ale nedal jim Duch.
And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;
8 Tedy pominuvše Myzii, šli do Troady.
And going past Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 I ukázalo se Pavlovi v noci vidění. Muž nějaký Macedonský stál, prose ho a řka: Přijda do Macedonie, pomoz nám.
And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.
10 A jakž to vidění viděl, i hned jsme usilovali o to, abychom šli do Macedonie, tím ujištěni jsouce, že nás povolal Pán, abychom jim kázali evangelium.
And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.
11 Protož pustivše se od Troady, přímým během připlavili jsme se do Samotracie, a nazejtří do Neapolis,
So, from Troas we went straight by ship to Samothrace and the day after to Neapolis;
12 A odtud do Filippis, kteréž jest první město krajiny Macedonské, obyvateli cizími osazené. I zůstali jsme v tom městě za několik dní.
And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.
13 V den pak sobotní vyšli jsme ven za město k řece, kdež býval obyčej modliti se. A usadivše se, mluvili jsme ženám, kteréž se tu byly sešly.
And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.
14 Jedna pak žena, jménem Lydia, kteráž šarlaty prodávala v městě Tyatirských, bohabojící, poslouchala. Jejíž srdce otevřel Pán, aby to pilně rozsuzovala, co se od Pavla pravilo.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.
15 A když pokřtěna byla i dům její, prosila, řkuci: Poněvadž jste mne soudili věrnou Pánu býti, vejdouce, v domě mém pobuďte. I přinutila nás.
And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.
16 I stalo se, když jsme šli k modlitbě, že děvečka nějaká, mající ducha věštího, potkala se s námi, kteráž veliký užitek přinášela pánům svým budoucích věcí předpovídáním.
And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.
17 Ta šedši za Pavlem a za námi, volala, řkuci: Tito lidé jsou služebníci Boha nejvyššího, kteříž zvěstují nám cestu spasení.
She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.
18 A to činívala za mnoho dní. Pavel pak těžce to nesa, a obrátiv se, řekl duchu tomu: Přikazuji tobě ve jménu Ježíše Krista, abys vyšel z ní. I vyšel hned té chvíle.
And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 A viděvše páni její, že odešla naděje zisku jejich, chytivše Pavla a Sílu, vedli je na rynk před úřad.
But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;
20 A postavivše je před úředníky, řekli: Tito lidé bouří město naše, jsouce Židé,
And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;
21 A zvěstují obyčeje, kterýchž nám nesluší přijíti ani zachovávati, poněvadž jsme Římané.
Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans.
22 I povstala obec proti nim. A úředníci, roztrhše sukně jejich, kázali je metlami mrskati.
And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.
23 A množství ran jim davše, vsadili do žaláře, přikázavše strážnému žaláře, aby jich pilně ostříhal.
And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:
24 Tedy on takové maje přikázaní, vsadil je do nejhlubšího žaláře, a nohy jejich sevřel kladou.
And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
25 O půlnoci pak Pavel a Sílas modléce se, zpívali písničky o Bohu, tak že je slyšeli vězňové.
But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;
26 A v tom pojednou země třesení stalo se veliké, až se pohnuli gruntové žaláře, a hned se všecky dvéře otevřely, a všech okovové spadli.
And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.
27 A procítiv strážný žaláře, a viděv dvéře žaláře otevřené, vytrhl meč, aby se zabil, domnívaje se, že vězňové utekli.
And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.
28 I zkřikl Pavel hlasem velikým, řka: Nečiň sobě nic zlého, však jsme teď všickni.
But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.
29 A požádav světla, vběhl k nim, a třesa se, padl u Pavla a Síly.
And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,
30 I vyved je ven, řekl: Páni, co já mám činiti, abych spasen byl?
And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?
31 A oni řekli: Věř v Pána Ježíše Krista, a budeš spasen ty i dům tvůj.
And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
32 I mluvili jemu slovo Páně, i všechněm, kteříž byli v domě jeho.
And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33 A pojav je v tu hodinu v noci, umyl jim rány. I pokřtěn jest hned on i všickni domácí jeho.
And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.
34 A když je uvedl do domu svého, připravil stůl, a veselil se, že se vším domem svým uvěřil Bohu.
And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
35 A když bylo ve dne, poslali úředníci služebníky, řkouce: Vypusť ty lidi.
But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.
36 I oznámil strážný žaláře slova ta Pavlovi: Že poslali úředníci, abyste byli propuštěni. Protož nyní vyjdouce, jdětež v pokoji.
And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.
37 Ale Pavel řekl jim: Zmrskavše nás zjevně a bez vyslyšení, lidi Římany, vsázeli do žaláře, a nyní nás chtějí tajně vyhnati? Nikoli, ale nechať sami přijdou, a vyvedou nás.
But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.
38 Tedy pověděli úředníkům služebníci slova ta. I báli se, uslyšavše, že by Římané byli.
And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;
39 A přišedše, prosili jich; a vyvedše je, žádali jich, aby šli z města.
Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.
40 I vyšedše z žaláře, vešli k Lydii, a uzřevše bratří, potěšili jich, a odešli.
And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.
