Skutky Apoštolů 18
1 Potom pak Pavel vyšed z Atén, přišel do Korintu.
On leaving Athens, Paul next went 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.
There he met a Jew of the name of Aquila, from Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had lately come from Italy, in consequence of the order which had been issued by the Emperor Claudius for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul paid them a visit,
3 A že byl téhož řemesla jako oni, bydlil u nich a dělal; a bylo řemeslo jejich stany dělati.
and, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them – their trade was tent-making.
4 I hádal se v škole na každou sobotu a k získání přivodil i Židy i Řeky.
Every Sabbath Paul gave addresses in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.
5 A když přišli z Macedonie Sílas a Timoteus, rozněcoval se v duchu Pavel, osvědčuje Židům, že Ježíš jest Kristus.
But, when Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to delivering the message, earnestly maintaining before the Jews that Jesus was 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.
However, as they set themselves against him and became abusive, Paul shook his clothes in protest and said to them, ‘Your blood be on your own heads. My conscience is clear. From this time forward 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.
So he left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Krispus pak, kníže školy, uvěřil Pánu se vším domem svým, a mnozí z Korintských slyšíce, uvěřili a křtěni byli.
Crispus, the synagogue leader, came to believe in the Lord, and so did all his household; and many of the Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, became believers in Christ and were baptized.
9 I řekl Pán v noci u vidění Pavlovi: Neboj se, ale mluv a nemlč.
One night the Lord said to Paul, in a vision, ‘Have no fear, but continue to speak, and refuse to be silenced;
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 do you harm, for I have many people in this city.’
11 I byl tu půl druhého léta, káže jim slovo Boží.
So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught God’s message among the people.
12 Když pak Gallio vladařem byl v Achaii, povstali jednomyslně Židé proti Pavlovi, a přivedli jej před soudnou stolici,
While Gallio was governor of Greece, some of the Jewish leaders made a combined attack on Paul, and brought him before the Governor’s Bench,
13 Pravíce: Tento navodí lidi, aby proti Zákonu ctili Boha.
charging him with persuading people to worship God in a way forbidden by 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.
Just as Paul was on the point of speaking, Gallio said to them, ‘If this were a case of misdemeanour or some serious crime, there would be some reason for my listening patiently to you;
15 Pakliť jsou jaké hádky o slovích a o jméních a Zákonu vašem, vy sami k tomu přihlédněte. Jáť toho soudce býti nechci.
but, since it is a dispute about words, and names, and your own Law, you must see to it yourselves. I do not choose to be a judge in such matters.’
16 I odehnal je od soudné stolice.
Saying this, he drove them back from the Bench.
17 Tedy Řekové všickni, uchopivše Sostena, kníže školy Židovské, bili jej tu před soudnou stolicí, a Gallio na to nic nedbal.
Then they all set on Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and beat him in front of the Bench, but Gallio did not trouble himself about any of 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.
Paul remained there some time after this, and then took leave of the followers, and sailed to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, but not before his head had been shaved at Cenchreae, because he was under a vow.
19 I přišel do Efezu a nechal jich tu; sám pak všed do školy, hádal se s Židy.
They put into Ephesus, and there Paul, leaving his companions, went into the synagogue and addressed the Jews.
20 A když ho prosili, aby tu déle pobyl u nich, nepovolil.
When they asked him to prolong his stay, he declined, saying however,
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.
as he took his leave, ‘I will come back again to you, please God,’ and then set sail from Ephesus.
22 A přišed do Cesaree, vstoupil do Jeruzaléma, a pozdraviv církve, odtud šel do Antiochie.
On reaching Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and exchanged greetings with 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.
After making some stay in Antioch, he set out on a tour through the Phrygian district of Galatia, strengthening the faith of all the disciples as he went.
24 Žid pak nějaký, jménem Apollo, rodem z Alexandrie, muž výmluvný, přišel do Efezu, učený v Písmě.
Meanwhile there had come to Ephesus an Alexandrian Jew, named Apollos, an eloquent man, who was well-versed in the scriptures.
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 had been well-instructed in the Way of the Lord, and with burning zeal he spoke of, and taught carefully, the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John’s.
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.
This man began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Way of God to him more carefully still.
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.
When he wanted to cross to Greece, the followers furthered his plans, and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival he proved of great assistance to those who had, through the loving kindness of God, become believers in Christ,
28 Nebo náramně přemáhal Židy, zjevně přede všemi jim toho dokazuje z Písem, že Ježíš jest Kristus.
for he vigorously confuted the Jews, publicly proving by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
