< Skutky Apoštolů 18 >
1 Potom pak Pavel vyšed z Atén, přišel do Korintu.
After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 A nalezl jednoho Žida, jménem Akvilu, jenž byl rodem z Pontu, kterýž nedávno byl přišel z Vlach, i s Priscillou manželku svou, (protože byl rozkázal Klaudius, aby všickni Židé z Říma vyšli), i přivinul se k nim.
And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;
3 A že byl téhož řemesla jako oni, bydlil u nich a dělal; a bylo řemeslo jejich stany dělati.
And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.
4 I hádal se v škole na každou sobotu a k získání přivodil i Židy i Řeky.
And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith.
5 A když přišli z Macedonie Sílas a Timoteus, rozněcoval se v duchu Pavel, osvědčuje Židům, že Ježíš jest Kristus.
And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
6 A když jemu oni odporovali a rouhali se, vyraziv prach z roucha svého, řekl k nim: Krev vaše budiž na hlavu vaši. Já čist jsa, hned půjdu ku pohanům.
And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles.
7 A jda odtud, všel do domu člověka jednoho, jménem Justa, ctitele Božího, kteréhož dům byl u samé školy.
And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.
8 Krispus pak, kníže školy, uvěřil Pánu se vším domem svým, a mnozí z Korintských slyšíce, uvěřili a křtěni byli.
And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.
9 I řekl Pán v noci u vidění Pavlovi: Neboj se, ale mluv a nemlč.
And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching:
10 Nebť já s tebou jsem, a žádnýť nesáhne na tebe, ať by zle učinil; nebo mnoho mám lidu v tomto městě.
For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town.
11 I byl tu půl druhého léta, káže jim slovo Boží.
And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Když pak Gallio vladařem byl v Achaii, povstali jednomyslně Židé proti Pavlovi, a přivedli jej před soudnou stolici,
But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat,
13 Pravíce: Tento navodí lidi, aby proti Zákonu ctili Boha.
Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law.
14 A když Pavel měl již otevříti ústa, řekl Gallio k Židům: Ó Židé, jestliže by co nepravého stalo se, nebo nešlechetnost nějaká, slušně bych vás vyslyšel.
But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:
15 Pakliť jsou jaké hádky o slovích a o jméních a Zákonu vašem, vy sami k tomu přihlédněte. Jáť toho soudce býti nechci.
But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.
16 I odehnal je od soudné stolice.
And he sent them away from the judge's seat.
17 Tedy Řekové všickni, uchopivše Sostena, kníže školy Židovské, bili jej tu před soudnou stolicí, a Gallio na to nic nedbal.
And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.
18 Pavel pak, pobyv tam ještě za mnoho dní, i rozžehnav se s bratřími, plavil se do Syrie, a s ním spolu Priscilla a Akvila, oholiv hlavu v Cenchreis; nebo byl učinil slib.
And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.
19 I přišel do Efezu a nechal jich tu; sám pak všed do školy, hádal se s Židy.
And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
20 A když ho prosili, aby tu déle pobyl u nich, nepovolil.
And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No;
21 Ale požehnav jich, řekl: Musím já jistotně svátek ten, kterýž nastává, v Jeruzalémě slaviti, ale navrátím se k vám zase, bude-li vůle Boží. I bral se z Efezu.
And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.
22 A přišed do Cesaree, vstoupil do Jeruzaléma, a pozdraviv církve, odtud šel do Antiochie.
And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch.
23 A pobyv tu za některý čas, odšel a procházel pořád Galatskou krajinu a Frygii, potvrzuje všech učedlníků.
And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith.
24 Žid pak nějaký, jménem Apollo, rodem z Alexandrie, muž výmluvný, přišel do Efezu, učený v Písmě.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.
25 Ten byl počátečně naučen cestě Páně, a jsa vroucího ducha, horlivě mluvil a učil pilně těm věcem, kteréž jsou Páně, znaje toliko křest Janův.
This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism:
26 A ten počal směle a svobodně mluviti v škole. Kteréhož slyševše Priscilla a Akvila, přijali ho k sobě a dokonaleji vypravovali jemu o cestě Boží.
And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God.
27 A když chtěl jíti do Achaie, bratří napomenuvše ho, psali učedlníkům, aby jej přijali. Kterýžto když tam přišel, mnoho prospěl těm, kteříž uvěřili skrze milost Boží.
And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace:
28 Nebo náramně přemáhal Židy, zjevně přede všemi jim toho dokazuje z Písem, že Ježíš jest Kristus.
For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus.
