Skutky Apoštolů 9
1 Saul pak ještě dychtě po pohrůžkách a po mordu proti učedlníkům Páně, šel k nejvyššímu knězi,
And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the LORD, having gone to the chief priest,
2 A vyžádal od něho listy do Damašku do škol, nalezl-li by tam té cesty které muže neb ženy, aby svázané přivedl do Jeruzaléma.
asked from him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, that if he may find any being of The Way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 A když byl na cestě, stalo se, že již přibližoval se k Damašku. Tedy pojednou rychle obklíčilo jej světlo s nebe.
And in the going, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven,
4 A padna na zem, uslyšel hlas k sobě řkoucí: Sauli, Sauli, proč mi se protivíš?
and having fallen on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
5 Kterýž řekl: I kdo jsi Pane? A Pán řekl: Já jsem Ježíš, jemuž ty se protivíš. Tvrdoť jest tobě proti ostnům se zpěčovati.
And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And the LORD said, “I am Jesus whom you persecute; [[hard for you to kick at the goads”;
6 A on třesa se a boje se, řekl: Pane, co chceš, abych činil? A Pán k němu: Vstaň a jdi do města, a bude tobě povědíno, co bys ty měl činiti.
trembling also, and astonished, he said, “Lord, what do You wish me to do?” And the LORD [said] to him, ]] “Arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told [to] you what you must do.”
7 Ti pak muži, kteříž šli s ním, stáli, ohromeni jsouce, hlas zajisté slyšíce, ale žádného nevidouce.
And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice but seeing no one,
8 I vstal Saul z země, a otevřev oči své, nic neviděl. Tedy pojavše ho za ruce, uvedli jej do Damašku.
and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
9 I byl tu za tři dni, nevida, a nejedl, ani nepil.
and he was three days without seeing, and he neither ate nor drank.
10 Byl pak jeden učedlník v Damašku, jménem Ananiáš. I řekl jemu Pán u vidění: Ananiáši. A on řekl: Aj, já, Pane.
And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the LORD said to him in a vision, “Ananias”; and he said, “Behold me, Lord”;
11 A Pán k němu: Vstaň a jdi do ulice, kteráž slove přímá, a hledej v domě Judově Saule, jménem Tarsenského. Nebo aj, modlí se.
and the LORD [says] to him, “Having risen, go on to the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he prays,
12 A viděl u vidění muže, Ananiáše jménem, an jde k němu, a vzkládá naň ruku, aby prohlédl.
and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.”
13 I odpověděl Ananiáš: Pane, slyšel jsem od mnohých o tom muži, kterak mnoho zlého činil svatým tvým v Jeruzalémě.
And Ananias answered, “LORD, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your holy ones in Jerusalem,
14 A i zdeť má moc od předních kněží, aby jímal všecky, kteříž vzývají jméno tvé.
and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
15 I řekl jemu Pán: Jdi, neboť jest on má nádoba vyvolená, aby nosil jméno mé před pohany i krále, i před syny Izraelské.
And the LORD said to him, “Go, because this one is a chosen vessel to Me, to carry My Name before nations and kings—also the sons of Israel;
16 Jáť zajisté ukáži jemu, kterak on mnoho musí trpěti pro jméno mé.
for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My Name.”
17 I šel Ananiáš, a všel do toho domu, a vloživ ruce naň, řekl: Sauli bratře, Pán Ježíš poslal mne, kterýž se ukázal tobě na cestě, po níž jsi šel, abys prohlédl, a naplněn byl Duchem svatým.
And Ananias went away, and entered into the house, and having put on him [his] hands, said, “Saul, brother, the LORD has sent me—Jesus who appeared to you in the way in which you were coming—that you may see again, and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 A hned spadly s očí jeho jako lupiny, i prohlédl pojednou; a vstav, pokřtěn jest.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he also saw again instantly, and having risen, was immersed,
19 A přijav pokrm, posilnil se. I zůstal Saul s učedlníky, kteříž byli v Damašku, za několik dní.
and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
20 A hned v školách kázal Krista, že on jest Syn Boží.
and immediately he was preaching the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
21 I divili se náramně všickni, kteříž jej slyšeli, a pravili: Zdaliž toto není ten, kterýž hubil v Jeruzalémě ty, kteříž vzývali jméno toto, a sem na to přišel, aby je svázané vedl k předním kněžím?
And all those hearing were amazed and said, “Is this not he who laid waste in Jerusalem those calling on this Name, and here to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”
22 Saul pak více se zmocňoval, a zahanboval Židy, kteříž bydleli v Damašku, potvrzuje toho, že ten jest Kristus.
And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 A když přeběhlo drahně dnů, radu mezi sebou na tom zavřeli Židé, aby jej zabili.
And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
24 Ale zvěděl Saul o těch úkladech jejich. Ostříhali také i bran ve dne i v noci, aby jej zahubili.
and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
25 Ale učedlníci v noci vzavše ho, spustili jej po provaze přes zed v koši.
and the disciples having taken him, by night let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
26 Přišed pak Saul do Jeruzaléma, pokoušel se přitovaryšiti k učedlníkům, ale báli se ho všickni, nevěříce, by byl učedlníkem.
And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
27 Barnabáš pak přijav jej, vedl ho k apoštolům, a vypravoval jim, kterak na cestě viděl Pána, a že mluvil s ním, a kterak v Damašku svobodně mluvil ve jménu Ježíše.
and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he saw the LORD in the way, and that He spoke to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the Name of Jesus.
28 I bydlil s nimi v Jeruzalémě,
And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
29 A směle mluvil ve jménu Pána Ježíše, a hádal se s Řeky; oni pak usilovali ho zabiti.
and speaking boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus; he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
30 To zvěděvše bratří, dovedli ho do Cesaree, a poslali jej do Tarsu.
and the brothers having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 A tak zborové po všem Judstvu a Galilei i Samaří měli pokoj, vzdělávajíce se, a chodíce v bázni Páně, a rozhojňovali se potěšením Ducha svatého.
Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and going on in the fear of the LORD, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
32 Stalo se pak, že Petr, když procházel všecky, přišel také k svatým, kteříž bydleli v Lyddě.
And it came to pass that Peter, passing throughout all [quarters], also came down to the holy ones who were dwelling at Lydda,
33 I nalezl tu člověka jednoho, jménem Eneáše, již od osmi let na loži ležícího, kterýž byl šlakem poražený.
and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid on a pallet—who was paralytic,
34 I řekl mu Petr: Eneáši, uzdravuje tebe Ježíš Kristus; vstaň, a ustel sobě. A hned vstal.
and Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you; arise and spread for yourself”; and immediately he rose,
35 I viděli jej všickni, kteříž bydlili v Lyddě a v Sároně, kteříž se obrátili ku Pánu.
and all those dwelling at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the LORD.
36 Byla pak jedna učedlnice v Joppen, jménem Tabita, což se vykládá Dorkas. Ta byla plná skutků dobrých a almužen, kteréž činila.
And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha (which interpreted, is called Dorcas); this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
37 I stalo se v těch dnech, že roznemohši se, umřela. Kterouž umyvše, položili na síň vrchní.
and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
38 A že byla blízko Lydda od Joppen, uslyšavše učedlníci, že by tam byl Petr, poslali k němu dva muže, prosíce ho, aby sobě neobtěžoval přijíti až k nim.
and Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men to him, calling on him not to delay to come through to them.
39 Tedy vstav Petr, šel s nimi. A když přišel, vedli jej na síň. I obstoupily ho všecky vdovy, plačíce, a ukazujíce sukně a pláště, kteréž jim dělala, dokudž s nimi byla, Dorkas.
And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
40 I rozkázav všechněm vyjíti ven Petr, poklek na kolena, modlil se, a obrátiv se k tomu tělu, řekl: Tabito, vstaň. A ona otevřela oči své, a uzřevši Petra, posadila se.
And Peter having put them all forth outside, having bowed the knees, prayed, and having turned to the body, said, “Tabitha, arise”; and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
41 A podav jí ruky, pozdvihl jí; a povolav svatých a vdov, ukázal jim ji živou.
and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive,
42 I rozhlášeno jest to po všem Joppen, a uvěřili mnozí v Pána.
and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the LORD;
43 I stalo se, že za mnohé dni pozůstal Petr v Joppen u nějakého Šimona koželuha.
and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
