Acts 28
1 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.
A tak zachováni byvše, teprv poznali, že ostrov ten sloul Melita.
2 For they refreshed us all by kindling a fire, because rain was imminent and because of the cold.
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.
3 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.
A když Pavel sebral drahně roždí, a kladl na oheň, ještěrka, utíkajíc před horkem, připjala se k ruce jeho.
4 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.”
A když uzřeli lidé toho ostrova, ano ještěrka visí u ruky jeho, řekli jedni druhým: Jistě člověk tento jest vražedlník; nebo ač z moře vyšel, však pomsta nedá jemu živu býti.
5 But shaking off the creature into the fire, he indeed suffered no ill effects.
Ale on střásl tu ještěrku do ohně, a nic se jemu zlého nestalo.
6 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.
Oni pak očekávali, že oteče, aneb padna, pojednou umře. A když toho dlouho čekali a viděli, že se mu nic zlého nestalo, změnivše se, pravili, že jest on bůh.
7 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.
Na těch pak místech měl popluží kníže toho ostrova, jménem Publius. Kterýž přijav nás k sobě, za tři dni přátelsky u sebe v hospodě choval.
8 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.
I přihodilo se, že otec toho Publia ležel, maje zimnici a červenou nemoc. K němuž všed Pavel, a pomodliv se, vložil na něj ruce, a uzdravil jej.
9 When this had been done, all who had diseases on the island approached and were cured.
A když se to stalo, tedy jiní, kteříž na ostrově tom nemocní byli, přistupovali, a byli uzdravováni.
10 And then they also presented us with many honors. And when we were ready to set sail, they gave us whatever we needed.
Ctili nás pak velice, a když jsme se měli pryč plaviti, nakladli toho, čehož potřebí bylo.
11 And so, after three months, we sailed in a ship from Alexandria, whose name was ‘the Castors,’ and which had wintered at the island.
A po třech měsících plavili jsme se na bárce Alexandrinské, kteráž tu byla na tom ostrově přes zimu, mající za erb Kastora a Polluxa.
12 And when we had arrived at Syracuse, we were delayed there for three days.
A když jsme přijeli do Syrakusis, zůstali jsme tu za tři dni.
13 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.
A odtud okolo plavíce se, přišli jsme do Regium; a po jednom dni, když vál vítr od poledne, druhý den přijeli jsme do Puteolos.
14 There, after locating the brothers, we were asked to remain with them for seven days. And then we went on to Rome.
Kdežto nalezše bratří, žádáni jsme byli od nich, abychom pobyli u nich za sedm dní. A tak jsme se k Římu brali.
15 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.
Odkudž, když o nás uslyšeli bratří, vyšli proti nám až na rynk Appiův a ke Třem krčmám. Kteréž uzřev Pavel, poděkoval Bohu, a počal býti dobré mysli.
16 And when we had arrived at Rome, Paul was given permission to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
A když jsme přišli do Říma, setník dal vězně v moc hejtmanu vojska, ale Pavlovi dopuštěno, aby sám bydlil s žoldnéřem, kterýž ho ostříhal.
17 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.
I stalo se po třech dnech, svolal Pavel přední z Židů. A když se sešli, řekl jim: Muži bratří, já nic neučiniv proti lidu ani proti obyčejům otcovským, jat jsa z Jeruzaléma, vydán jsem v ruce Římanům.
18 And after they held a hearing about me, they would have released me, because there was no case for death against me.
Kteříž vyslyševše mne, chtěli propustiti, proto že žádné viny hodné smrti na mně nebylo.
19 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.
Ale když Židé odpírali, přinucen jsem odvolati se k císaři, ne jako bych měl co na svůj národ žalovati.
20 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.”
A protož z té příčiny povolal jsem vás, abych vás viděl, a s vámi promluvil; nebo pro naději lidu Izraelského řetězem tímto svázán jsem.
21 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.
A oni řekli jemu: Myť jsme žádného psání neměli o tobě z Židovstva, aniž kdo z bratří přijda, vypravoval neb mluvil co zlého o tobě.
22 But we are asking to hear your opinions from you, for concerning this sect, we know that it is being spoken against everywhere.”
Ale žádámeť od tebe slyšeti, jak smyslíš; nebo víme o té sektě, že se jí všudy odpírá.
23 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.
A když jemu uložili den, sešlo se jich mnoho do hospody k němu, jimž s osvědčováním vypravoval o království Božím, slouže jim k víře o Ježíšovi z zákona Mojžíšova a proroků, od jitra až do večera.
24 And some believed the things that he was saying, yet others did not believe.
A někteří uvěřili tomu, což vypravoval, někteří pak nevěřili.
25 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,
A tak nejsouce mezi sebou svorní, rozešli se, když promluvil Pavel to jedno slovo: Jistě žeť dobře Duch svatý skrze proroka Izaiáše mluvil k otcům našim,
26 saying: ‘Go to this people and say to them: Hearing, you shall hear and not understand, and seeing, you shall see and not perceive.
Řka: Jdi k lidu tomuto a rci jim: Slyšením slyšeti budete, ale nesrozumíte, a hledíce, hleděti budete, ale neuzříte.
27 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.’
Nebo zhrublo srdce lidu tohoto, a ušima těžce slyšeli, a oči své zamhouřili, aby snad neviděli očima, a ušima neslyšeli, a srdcem nesrozuměli, a neobrátili se, abych jich neuzdravil.
28 Therefore, let it be known to you, that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they shall listen to it.”
Budiž vám tedy známo, že jest pohanům posláno toto spasení Boží, a oniť slyšeti budou.
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews went away from him, though they still had many questions among themselves.
A když on to propověděl, odešli Židé, majíce mezi sebou hádky mnohé.
30 Then he remained for two whole years in his own rented lodgings. And he received all who went in to him,
Pavel pak trval za celé dvě létě v hospodě své, a přijímal všecky, kteříž přicházeli k němu,
31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which are from the Lord Jesus Christ, with all faithfulness, without prohibition.
Káže o království Božím, a uče těm věcem, kteréž jsou o Pánu Ježíši Kristu, se vší doufanlivostí bez překážky.
