Skutky Apoštolů 28
1 A tak zachováni jsouce, teprv poznali, že ostrov ten sloul Melita.
And after we had escaped, we then realized that the island was called Malta. Yet truly, the natives offered us no small amount of humane treatment.
2 Lidé pak toho ostrova velikou přívětivost k nám ukázali. Nebo zapálivše hranici drev, přijali nás všecky, pro déšť, kterýž v tu chvíli byl, a pro zimu.
For they refreshed us all by kindling a fire, because rain was imminent and because of the cold.
3 A když Pavel sebral drahně roždí a kladl na oheň, ještěrka, utíkajíc před horkem, připjala se k ruce jeho.
But when Paul had gathered together a bundle of twigs, and had placed them on the fire, a viper, which had been drawn to the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
4 A když uzřeli lidé toho ostrovu, ano ještěrka visí u ruky jeho, řekli jedni k druhým: Jistě člověk tento jest vražedlník; neb ač z moře vyšel, však pomsta Boží nedá jemu živu býti.
And truly, when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another: “Certainly, this man must be a murderer, for though he escaped from the sea, vengeance will not permit him to live.”
5 Ale on střásl tu ještěrku do ohně, a nic se jemu zlého nestalo.
But shaking off the creature into the fire, he indeed suffered no ill effects.
6 Oni pak očekávali, že oteče, aneb padna, pojednou umře. A když toho dlouho čekali a viděli, že se mu nic zlého nestalo, změnivše myšlení své, pravili, že jest on bůh.
But they were supposing that he would soon swell up, and then would suddenly fall down and die. But having waited a long time, and seeing no ill effects in him, they changed their minds and were saying that he was a god.
7 Na těch pak místech měl popluží kníže toho ostrova, jménem Publius, kterýžto přijav nás k sobě, za tři dni přátelsky u sebe v hospodě choval.
Now among these places were estates owned by the ruler of the island, named Publius. And he, taking us in, showed us kind hospitality for three days.
8 I přihodilo se, že otec toho Publia ležel, maje zimnici a červenou nemoc. K němuž všed Pavel, a pomodliv se, vzložil na něj ruce a uzdravil jej.
Then it happened that the father of Publius lay ill with a fever and with dysentery. Paul entered to him, and when he had prayed and had laid his hands on him, he saved him.
9 A když se to stalo, tedy i jiní, kteříž na ostrově tom nemocní byli, přistupovali, a byli uzdravováni.
When this had been done, all who had diseases on the island approached and were cured.
10 Ctili nás pak velice, a když jsme se měli pryč plaviti, nakladli nám na lodí toho, čehož potřebí bylo.
And then they also presented us with many honors. And when we were ready to set sail, they gave us whatever we needed.
11 A po třech měsících plavili jsme se na bárce Alexandrinské, kteráž tu byla na tom ostrově přes zimu, majici za erb Kastora a Polluxa.
And so, after three months, we sailed in a ship from Alexandria, whose name was ‘the Castors,’ and which had wintered at the island.
12 A když jsme přijeli do Syrakusis, zůstali jsme tu za tři dni.
And when we had arrived at Syracuse, we were delayed there for three days.
13 A odtud okolo plavíce se, přišli jsme do Regium; a po jednom dni, když vál vítr od poledne, druhý den přijeli jsme do Puteolos.
From there, sailing close to the shore, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, with the south wind blowing, we arrived on the second day at Puteoli.
14 Kdežto nalezli jsme bratří, kteříž nás prosili, abychom pobyli u nich za sedm dní. A tak jsme šli k Římu.
There, after locating the brothers, we were asked to remain with them for seven days. And then we went on to Rome.
15 Odkudž, když o nás uslyšeli bratří, vyšli proti nám až na rynk Appiův a ke Třem krčmám. Kteréžto uzřev Pavel, poděkoval Bohu a počal býti dobré mysli.
And there, when the brothers had heard of us, they went to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, giving thanks to God, he took courage.
16 A když jsme přišli do Říma, setník dal vězně v moc hejtmanu vojska, ale Pavlovi dopuštěno, aby sám bydlil s žoldnéřem, kterýž ho ostříhal.
And when we had arrived at Rome, Paul was given permission to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
17 I stalo se po třech dnech, svolal Pavel muže přední z Židů. A když se sešli, řekl k nim: Muži bratří, já nic neučiniv proti lidu ani proti obyčejům otcovským, jat jsa, z Jeruzaléma vydán jsem v ruce Římanům,
And after the third day, he called together the leaders of the Jews. And when they had convened, he said to them: “Noble brothers, I have done nothing against the people, nor against the customs of the fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Kteříž vyslyševše mne, chtěli mne propustiti, protože žádné viny hodné smrti na mně nebylo.
And after they held a hearing about me, they would have released me, because there was no case for death against me.
19 Ale když Židé tomu odpírali, přinucen jsem odvolati se k císaři, ne jako bych měl co národ svůj žalovati.
But with the Jews speaking against me, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, though it was not as if I had any kind of accusation against my own nation.
20 A protož z té příčiny povolal jsem vás, žádostiv jsa viděti vás a s vámi promluviti; nebo pro naději lidu Izraelského řetězem tímto svázán jsem.
And so, because of this, I requested to see you and to speak to you. For it is because of the hope of Israel that I am encircled with this chain.”
21 A oni řekli jemu: Myť jsme žádného psaní neměli o tobě z Židovstva, aniž kdo z bratří přijda, vypravoval nám, aneb mluvil co zlého o tobě.
But they said to him: “We have not received letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the other new arrivals among the brothers reported or spoken anything evil against you.
22 Ale žádámeť od tebe slyšeti, jak smyslíš; nebo víme o té sektě, že se jí všudy odpírá.
But we are asking to hear your opinions from you, for concerning this sect, we know that it is being spoken against everywhere.”
23 A když jemu uložili den, sešlo se jich mnoho do hospody k němu, jimžto s osvědčováním vypravoval o království Božím, slouže jim k víře o Ježíšovi z Zákona Mojžíšova a Proroků, od jitra až do večera.
And when they had appointed a day for him, very many persons went to him at his guest quarters. And he discoursed, testifying to the kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, using the law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 A někteří uvěřili tomu, což Pavel vypravoval, někteří pak nevěřili.
And some believed the things that he was saying, yet others did not believe.
25 A tak nejsouce mezi sebou svorní, rozešli se, k nimžto promluvil Pavel toto jedno slovo: Jistě žeť jest dobře Duch svatý skrze proroka Izaiáše mluvil k otcům našim,
And when they could not agree among themselves, they departed, while Paul was speaking this one word: “How well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers through the prophet Isaiah,
26 Řka: Jdi k lidu tomuto a rciž jim: Sluchem slyšeti budete, a nesrozumíte, a hledíce hleděti budete, a neuzříte.
saying: ‘Go to this people and say to them: Hearing, you shall hear and not understand, and seeing, you shall see and not perceive.
27 Nebo zhrublo srdce lidu tohoto, a ušima těžce slyšeli, a oči své zamhouřili, aby snad neviděli očima, a ušima neslyšeli, a srdcem nerozuměli, a neobrátili se, abych jich neuzdravil.
For the heart of this people has grown dull, and they have listened with reluctant ears, and they have closed their eyes tightly, lest perhaps they might see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and so be converted, and I would heal them.’
28 Budiž vám tedy známo, že jest pohanům posláno toto spasení Boží, a oniť slyšeti budou.
Therefore, let it be known to you, that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they shall listen to it.”
29 A když on to propověděl, odešli Židé, majíce mezi sebou mnohé hádky.
And when he had said these things, the Jews went away from him, though they still had many questions among themselves.
30 Pavel pak trval za celé dvě létě v hospodě své, a přijímal všecky, kteříž přicházeli k němu,
Then he remained for two whole years in his own rented lodgings. And he received all who went in to him,
31 Káže o království Božím a uče těm věcem, kteréž jsou o Pánu Ježíši Kristu, se vší doufanlivostí bez překážky.
preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which are from the Lord Jesus Christ, with all faithfulness, without prohibition.
