Skutky Apoštolů 21
1 Když jsme se pak plavili, rozloučivše se s nimi, přímým během přijeli jsme do Koum, a druhý den do Ródu, a odtud do Patary.
[After] we said goodbye to the elders [from Ephesus], we [got on the ship and] sailed to Cos [Island, where the ship stopped for the night]. The next day we sailed from Cos to Rhodes [Island, where the ship stopped again. The day after] that we sailed to Patara [town, where the ship stopped. This was on Patara Island].
2 I nalezše tu lodí, kteráž měla plouti do Fenicen, a vstoupivše na ni, plavili jsme se.
[At Patara we left that ship, and someone told us that] there was a ship that would be going to Phoenicia [region. So] we got on that ship, and it left.
3 A když se nám počal ukazovati Cyprus, nechavše ho na levé straně, plavili jsme se do Syrie, a připlavili jsme se do Týru; nebo tu měli složiti náklad z lodí.
[We sailed until] we could see Cyprus [Island]. We passed to the south of the island and continued sailing until we arrived at [Phoenicia region, in] Syria [province]. We arrived at Tyre [city. The ship was going to stay there several days, because its workers] had to unload the cargo.
4 A nalezše tu učedlníky, pobyli jsme tam za sedm dní, kteřížto pravili Pavlovi skrze Ducha svatého, aby nechodil do Jeruzaléma.
[Someone told us] where the believers in Tyre lived, so we [(exc) went and] stayed with them for seven days. Because [God’s] Spirit revealed to them ([that people would cause Paul to suffer/Paul would suffer]) [in Jerusalem], they told Paul that he should not go there.
5 A když jsme my vyplnili ty dni, vyšedše, brali jsme se pryč, a sprovodili nás všickni s ženami i s dětmi až za město. A poklekše na kolena na břehu, pomodlili jsme se.
But when it was time [for the ship to leave again], we [prepared to] continue going [to Jerusalem]. When we left [Tyre], all the believers, including their wives and children, went with us [to the edge of the sea]. We all knelt down there on the sand/shore and prayed.
6 A když jsme se vespolek rozžehnali, vstoupili jsme na lodí, a oni se vrátili domů.
After we all said goodbye, Paul and we [his companions] got on the ship, and the [other] believers returned to their own homes.
7 My pak přeplavivše se od Týru, dostali jsme se až do Ptolemaidy, a pozdravivše tu bratří, pobyli jsme u nich jeden den.
After we [(exc)] left Tyre, we continued on [that ship] to Ptolemais [city]. There were believers there, and we greeted them and stayed with them that night.
8 A nazejtří vyšedše Pavel a my, jenž jsme s ním byli, přišli jsme do Cesaree, a všedše do domu Filipa evangelisty, (kterýž byl jeden z oněch sedmi, ) pobyli jsme u něho.
The next day we left [Ptolemais] and sailed to Caesarea [city], where we stayed in the home of Philip, who [spent his days] telling others how to become disciples of Jesus. He was one of the seven [men whom the believers in Jerusalem had chosen to care for the widows].
9 A ten měl čtyři dcery panny, prorokyně.
He had four daughters who were not married. Each of them [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had revealed to them.
10 A když jsme tu pobyli za drahně dní, přišel prorok nějaký z Judstva, jménem Agabus.
After [we(exc) had been in Philip’s house for] several days, a believer whose name was Agabus came down from Judea [district] and arrived [in Caesarea]. He [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had told him.
11 Ten když k nám přišel, vzal pás Pavlův, a svázav sobě ruce i nohy, řekl: Totoť praví Duch svatý: Muže toho, jehož jest pás tento, tak sváží Židé v Jeruzalémě a vydadí v ruce pohanům.
Coming over to where we were, he took off Paul’s belt. Then he tied his own feet and hands with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] in Jerusalem will tie up [the hands and feet of] the owner of this belt, like this, and they will hand him over to non-Jewish people [as a prisoner].’”
12 A jakž jsme to uslyšeli, prosili jsme ho i my i ti, kteříž byli v tom místě, aby nechodil do Jeruzaléma.
When [the rest of] us heard that, we and [other] believers there repeatedly pled with Paul, “Please do not go up to Jerusalem!”
13 Tedy odpověděl Pavel: I co činíte, plačíce a trápíce srdce mé? Však já netoliko svázán býti, ale i umříti hotov jsem v Jeruzalémě pro jméno Pána Ježíše.
But Paul replied, “(Please stop crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going!]/Why are you crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going]?) [RHQ] I am willing to be put {[for people] to put me} in prison and also to be killed {[for them] to kill me} in Jerusalem because I [serve] [MTY] the Lord Jesus.”
14 A když nechtěl povoliti, dali jsme tomu pokoj, řkouce: Staň se vůle Páně.
When [we(exc) realized that] he was determined [to go to Jerusalem], we did not try [any longer] to persuade him [not to go]. We said, “May (the Lord [God] do what he wants/the Lord’s will be done)!”
15 Po těch pak dnech připravivše se, brali jsme se do Jeruzaléma.
After those days [in Caesarea], we [(exc)] prepared [our things] and [left to] go [by land] up to Jerusalem.
16 A šli s námi i učedlníci někteří z Cesaree, vedouce s sebou nějakého Mnázona z Cypru, starého učedlníka, u něhož bychom hospodu měli.
Some of the believers from Caesarea also went with us. [On the way to Jerusalem], we stayed [one night] in the house of [a man whose name was] Mnason. He was from Cyprus [Island], and he had believed [in Jesus] when people were first beginning to hear the message [about him].
17 A když jsme přišli do Jeruzaléma, vděčně nás přijali bratří.
When we arrived in Jerusalem, [a group of] the believers greeted us happily.
18 Druhého pak dne všel Pavel s námi k Jakubovi, a tu se byli všickni starší sešli.
The next day Paul and the rest of us went to speak with James, [who was the leader of the congregation there]. All of the [other] leaders/elders [of the congregation in Jerusalem] were also there.
19 Jichžto pozdraviv, vypravoval jim všecko, což Bůh skrze službu jeho činil mezi pohany.
Paul greeted them, and then he reported all of the things that God had enabled him to do among the non-Jewish people.
20 A oni slyšavše to, velebili Pána, a řekli jemu: Vidíš, bratře, kterak jest mnoho tisíců Židů věřících, a ti všickni jsou horliví milovníci Zákona.
When they heard that, James and the other elders said, “Praise the Lord!” Then [one of] them said to Paul, “Brother/Friend, you [(sg)] know that there are very many thousands of us [(inc)] Jewish people [here] who have believed [in the Lord Jesus]. Also, you know that we [(inc)] all continue very carefully to obey the laws [that Moses gave us].
21 Ale o toběť mají zprávu, že bys ty vedl od Zákona Mojžíšova všecky ty Židy, kteříž jsou mezi pohany, pravě, že nemají obřezovati synů svých, ani zachovávati obyčejů Zákona.
[But our fellow Jewish believers] have been told {have heard [people say]} that when you are among non-Jews, you tell the Jewish believers who live there that they should stop obeying [the laws] [MTY] ([of] Moses/[that] Moses [received from God]). [People say that] you tell [those Jewish believers] not to circumcise their sons and not to practice our [other] customs. [We(exc) do not believe that this is true].
22 Což tedy činiti? Musíť zajisté shromážděno býti všecko množství, neboť uslyší o tobě, že jsi přišel.
But our fellow [Jewish] believers will certainly hear that you have arrived, [and they will be angry with you]. So [you] need to do something [RHQ] [to show them that what they heard about you is not true].
23 Učiniž tedy toto, cožť povíme: Mámeť tu čtyři muže, kteříž mají slib na sobě.
So you should do what we suggest to you. There are four men among us who have strongly promised [to God] about [something].
24 Ty přijma k sobě, posvěť se s nimi, i náklad učiň s nimi, aby oholili hlavy své. A takť zvědí všickni, že to, což slyšeli o tobě, nic není, ale že i sám ty chodíš, ostříhaje Zákona.
Go with these men [to the Temple] and [ritually] purify yourself along with them. Then, [when it is time for them to offer the sacrifices for that ritual], pay for what they offer [as sacrifices]. After that, they can shave their heads [to show that they have done what they promised to do. And when people see you in the courts of the Temple with those men], they will know that what they have been told {what people have told them} about you is not true. Instead, all of them will know that you obey all our Jewish laws [and rituals].
25 Z strany pak těch, kteříž z pohanů uvěřili, my jsme psali, usoudivše, aby tohoto ničeho nešetřili, toliko aby se varovali modlám obětovaného, a krve, a udáveného, a smilstva.
As for the non-Jewish believers, [we elders here in Jerusalem have talked] about [which of our laws] they [should obey, and] we [(exc)] wrote them [a letter, telling them] what we decided. [We wrote] that they should not eat meat that people have offered as a sacrifice to any idol, [that they should not eat] blood [from animals], and that [they should not eat] meat from animals [that people have killed by] strangling [them. We also told them that] they should not have sex with someone to whom they are not married.”
26 Tedy Pavel, přijav k sobě ty muže, na druhý den posvětiv se s nimi, všel do chrámu, a vypravoval o vyplnění dní toho posvěcení, až i obětována jest obět za jednoho každého z nich.
So Paul [agreed to do what they asked], and the next day he took the [four] men, and together they ritually purified themselves. After that, Paul went to the Temple [courts and] told [the priest] what day they would [finish] purifying themselves [ritually] and when [they] would offer [the animals as sacrifices] for each of them.
27 A když se vyplniti mělo dní sedm, Židé někteří z Azie, uzřevše jej v chrámě, zbouřili všecken lid a vztáhli naň ruce,
When the seven days [for purifying themselves] were nearly finished, Paul [returned] to the Temple [courtyard]. Some Jews from Asia [province] saw him there, [and they were very angry at him]. On another day they had seen Paul [walking around] in Jerusalem with Trophimus, who was a non-Jew. Their laws did not permit non-Jews to be in the Temple, and they thought that Paul had brought Trophimus into the Temple [courtyard that day. So] they called out to many other Jews [who were in the Temple courtyard] to [help them] seize [MTY] Paul. They shouted, “Fellow Israelites, come and help [us punish this] man! This is the one who is [constantly] teaching people wherever [he goes that they] should despise the [Jewish] people. [He teaches people that they should no longer obey] the laws [of Moses] nor respect this holy [Temple]. He has even brought non-Jews here into [the court of] our Temple, causing God to consider it no longer holy!”
28 Křičíce: Muži Izraelští, pomozte! Totoť jest ten člověk, kterýž proti lidu i Zákonu i místu tomuto všecky všudy učí, a k tomu i pohany uvedl do chrámu, a poskvrnil svatého tohoto místa.
29 Nebo byli viděli prve Trofima Efezského s ním v městě, kteréhož domnívali se, že by Pavel do chrámu uvedl.
30 Takž se zbouřilo všecko město, a sběhli se lidé, a uchopivše Pavla, táhli jej ven z chrámu. A hned zavříny jsou dveře.
[People] throughout [MTY] the city heard that there was trouble [at the Temple courtyard], and they came running there. They grabbed Paul and dragged him outside of the Temple [area]. The gates [to the Temple courtyard were shut] {[The Temple guards] shut the doors [to the Temple courts]} immediately, [so that the people would not riot inside the Temple area].
31 A když jej chtěli zamordovati, povědíno hejtmanu vojska, že se bouří všecken Jeruzalém.
While they were trying to kill Paul, someone [ran to the fort near the Temple] and told the Roman commander that many [HYP] people [MTY] in Jerusalem were rioting [at the Temple].
32 Kterýžto hned pojav s sebou žoldnéře a setníky, přiběhl na ně. A oni uzřevše hejtmana a žoldnéře, přestali bíti Pavla.
The commander quickly took some officers and [a large group of] soldiers and ran to [the Temple area where] the crowd was. When the crowd of people [who were yelling and beating Paul] saw the commander and the soldiers [coming], they stopped beating him.
33 Tedy přistoupiv hejtman, dosáhl ho, a rozkázal jej svázati dvěma řetězy, a ptal se, kdo jest a co učinil.
The commander came to [where Paul was and] seized him. He [commanded soldiers] to fasten a chain to [each of] Paul’s [arms]. Then he asked [the people in the crowd], “Who is this man, and what has he done?”
34 V zástupu pak jedni tak, jiní jinak křičeli. A nemoha nic jistého zvěděti pro hluk, rozkázal jej vésti do vojska.
Some of the many people there were shouting one thing, [and] some were shouting something else. Because they continued shouting so loudly, the commander could not understand [what they were shouting. So] he [commanded] that Paul be taken {[the soldiers] to take Paul} into the barracks [so that he could question him there].
35 A když přišel k stupňům, nahodilo se, že nesen byl od žoldnéřů pro násilé lidu.
[The soldiers] led Paul to the steps [of the barracks], but many people continued to follow them, trying to kill [Paul. So the commander told] the soldiers to carry Paul [up the steps into the barracks].
36 Nebo šlo za ním množství lidu, křičíce: Zahlaď jej!
The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Kill him! Kill him!”
37 A když měl již uveden býti do vojska Pavel, řekl hejtmanu: Mohu-li co promluviti k tobě? Kterýž řekl: Umíš Řecky?
As Paul was about to be taken {[the soldiers] were about to take Paul} into the barracks, he said [in Greek] to the commander, “May I speak to you?” The commander said, “(I am surprised that you can speak the Greek [language]!/Can you [(sg)] speak the Greek [language]?)” [RHQ]
38 Nejsi-liž ty ten Egyptský, kterýž jsi před těmito dny byl bouřku učinil, a vyvedls na poušť čtyři tisíce lotrů?
“(I [thought] that you [(sg)] were that fellow/Are you not that fellow) from Egypt [RHQ] who wanted to rebel [against the government not long ago], and who took 4,000 violent terrorists [with him] out into the desert, [so that we could not catch him]?”
39 I řekl Pavel: Jáť jsem člověk Žid Tarsenský, neposledního města Cilické země obyvatel; protož prosím tebe, dopusť mi promluviti k lidu.
Paul answered, “[No, I am not!] I am a Jew. I [was born] in Tarsus, which is an important [LIT] city in Cilicia [province]. I ask that you [(sg)] let me speak to the people.”
40 A když mu on dopustil, Pavel stoje na stupních, pokynul rukou na lid. A když se veliké mlčení stalo, mluvil k nim Židovsky, řka:
Then the commander permitted Paul [to speak. So] Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand [for the crowd to be quiet. And after] the people in the crowd became quiet, Paul spoke to them in [their own] Hebrew language [MTY].
