Skutky Apoštolů 18
1 Potom pak Pavel vyšed z Atén, přišel do Korintu.
After these things, having departed from Athens, he arrived at 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 upon finding a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all Jews to depart from Rome, ) he met with 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 lodged with them and was working. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)
4 I hádal se v škole na každou sobotu a k získání přivodil i Židy i Řeky.
And he was arguing in the synagogue on every Sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus. And he was persuading Jews and Greeks.
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 had arrived from Macedonia, Paul stood firm in the Word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
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.
But since they were contradicting him and blaspheming, he shook out his garments and said to them: “Your blood is on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, 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 that place, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus the Just, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoined to the synagogue.
8 Krispus pak, kníže školy, uvěřil Pánu se vším domem svým, a mnozí z Korintských slyšíce, uvěřili a křtěni byli.
Now Crispus, a leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with his entire house. And many of the Corinthians, upon hearing, believed and were baptized.
9 I řekl Pán v noci u vidění Pavlovi: Neboj se, ale mluv a nemlč.
Then the Lord said to Paul, through a vision in the night: “Do not be afraid. Instead, speak out and do not be silent.
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 take hold of you, so as to do you harm. For many of the people in this city are with me.”
11 I byl tu půl druhého léta, káže jim slovo Boží.
Then he settled 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 proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,
13 Pravíce: Tento navodí lidi, aby proti Zákonu ctili Boha.
saying, “He persuades men to worship God contrary to 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.
Then, when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If this were some matter of injustice, or a wicked deed, O noble Jews, I would support you, as is proper.
15 Pakliť jsou jaké hádky o slovích a o jméních a Zákonu vašem, vy sami k tomu přihlédněte. Jáť toho soudce býti nechci.
Yet if truly these are questions about a word and names and your law, you should see to it yourselves. I will not be the judge of such things.”
16 I odehnal je od soudné stolice.
And he ordered them from the tribunal.
17 Tedy Řekové všickni, uchopivše Sostena, kníže školy Židovské, bili jej tu před soudnou stolicí, a Gallio na to nic nedbal.
But they, apprehending Sosthenes, a leader of the synagogue, beat him in front of the tribunal. And Gallio showed no concern for 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.
Yet truly, Paul, after he had remained for many more days, having said goodbye to the brothers, sailed into Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had made a vow.
19 I přišel do Efezu a nechal jich tu; sám pak všed do školy, hádal se s Židy.
And he arrived at Ephesus, and he left them behind there. Yet truly, he himself, entering into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews.
20 A když ho prosili, aby tu déle pobyl u nich, nepovolil.
Then, although they were asking him to remain for a longer time, he would not agree.
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.
Instead, saying goodbye and telling them, “I will return to you again, God willing,” he set out from Ephesus.
22 A přišed do Cesaree, vstoupil do Jeruzaléma, a pozdraviv církve, odtud šel do Antiochie.
And after going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and he greeted the Church there, and then he descended to Antioch.
23 A pobyv tu za některý čas, odšel a procházel pořád Galatskou krajinu a Frygii, potvrzuje všech učedlníků.
And having spent some length of time there, he set out, and he walked in order through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Žid pak nějaký, jménem Apollo, rodem z Alexandrie, muž výmluvný, přišel do Efezu, učený v Písmě.
Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man who was powerful with the Scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
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.
He was learned in the Way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching the things that are of Jesus, but knowing only the baptism of John.
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 so, he began to act faithfully in the synagogue. And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him, they took him aside and expounded the Way of the Lord to him more thoroughly.
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.
Then, since he wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers wrote an exhortation to the disciples, so that they might accept him. And when he had arrived, he held many discussions with those who had believed.
28 Nebo náramně přemáhal Židy, zjevně přede všemi jim toho dokazuje z Písem, že Ježíš jest Kristus.
For he was vehemently and publicly reproving the Jews, by revealing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
