< Acts 9 >

1 And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Saul pak ještě dychtě po pohrůžkách a po mordu proti učedlníkům Páně, šel k nejvyššímu knězi,
2 And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
A vyžádal od něho listy do Damašku do škol, nalezl-li by tam té cesty které muže nebo ženy, aby svázané přivedl do Jeruzaléma.
3 And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
A když byl na cestě, stalo se, že již přibližoval se k Damašku. Tedy pojednou rychle obklíčilo jej světlo s nebe.
4 And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
A padna na zem, uslyšel hlas řkoucí: Saule, Saule, proč mi se protivíš?
5 Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
A on řekl: I kdo jsi, Pane? A Pán řekl: Já jsem Ježíš, jemuž ty se protivíš. Tvrdoť jest tobě proti ostnům se zpěčovati.
6 And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
A on třesa se a boje se, řekl: Pane, co chceš, abych činil? A Pán k němu: Vstaň a jdi do města, a bude tobě povědíno, co bys ty měl činiti.
7 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
Ti pak muži, kteříž šli za ním, stáli, ohromeni jsouce, hlas zajisté slyšíce, ale žádného nevidouce.
8 And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.
I vstal Saul z země, a otevřev oči své, nic neviděl. Tedy pojavše ho za ruce, uvedli jej do Damašku.
9 And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.
I byl tu za tři dni nevida, a nejedl nic, ani nepil.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord.
Byl pak jeden učedlník apoštolský v Damašku, jménem Ananiáš. I řekl k němu Pán u vidění: Ananiáši. A on řekl: Aj, já, Pane.
11 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.
A Pán k němu: Vstaň a jdi do ulice, kteráž slove Přímá, a hledej v domě Judově Saule, jménem Tarsenského. Nebo aj, modlí se,
12 (And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)
A viděl u vidění muže, Ananiáše jménem, an jde k němu, a vzkládá naň ruku, aby zrak přijal.
13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.
I odpověděl Ananiáš: Pane, slyšel jsem od mnohých o tom muži, kterak mnoho zlého činil svatým tvým v Jeruzalémě.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.
A i zdeť má moc od předních kněží, aby jímal všecky, kteříž vzývají jméno tvé.
15 And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
I řekl jemu Pán: Jdi, neboť on jest má nádoba vyvolená, aby nosil jméno mé před pohany i krále, i před syny Izraelské.
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Jáť zajisté ukáži jemu, kterak on mnoho musí trpěti pro jméno mé.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
I šel Ananiáš, a všel do toho domu, a vloživ ruce naň, řekl: Saule bratře, Pán Ježíš poslal mne, kterýž se ukázal tobě na cestě, po níž jsi šel, abys zrak přijal a naplněn byl Duchem svatým.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.
A hned spadly s očí jeho jako lupiny, a on prohlédl pojednou; a vstav, pokřtěn jest.
19 And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.
A přijav pokrm, posilnil se. I zůstal Saul s učedlníky, kteříž byli v Damašku, za několiko dní.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
A hned v školách kázal Krista, pravě, že on jest Syn Boží.
21 And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
I divili se náramně všickni, kteříž jej slyšeli, a pravili: Zdaliž toto není ten, jenž hubil v Jeruzalémě ty, kteříž vzývali jméno toto, a sem na to přišel, aby je svázané vedl k předním kněžím?
22 But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.
Saul pak mnohem více se zmocňoval a zahanboval Židy, kteříž byli v Damašku, potvrzuje toho, že ten jest Kristus.
23 And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
A když přeběhlo drahně dnů, radu mezi sebou na tom zavřeli Židé, aby jej zabili.
24 But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.
Ale zvěděl Saul o těch úkladech jejich. Ostříhali také i bran ve dne i v noci, aby jej zahubili.
25 But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.
Ale učedlníci v noci vzavše ho, spustili jej po provaze přes zed v koši.
26 And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Přišed pak Saul do Jeruzaléma, pokoušel se přitovaryšiti k učedlníkům, ale báli se ho všickni, nevěříce, by byl učedlníkem.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.
Barnabáš pak přijav jej, vedl ho k apoštolům, a vypravoval jim, kterak na cestě viděl Pána, a že mluvil s ním, a kterak v Damašku svobodně mluvil ve jménu Ježíše.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.
I byl s nimi přebývaje v Jeruzalémě,
29 He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.
A směle mluvě ve jménu Pána Ježíše, a hádal se s Řeky; oni pak usilovali ho zabíti.
30 Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
To zvěděvše bratří, dovedli ho do Cesaree, a poslali jej do Tarsu.
31 Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.
A tak sborové po všem Judstvu a Galilei i Samaří měli pokoj, vzdělávajíce se, a chodíce v bázni Páně, a rozhojňovali se potěšením Ducha svatého.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
Stalo se pak, že Petr, když procházel všecky sbory, přišel také k svatým, kteříž byli v Lyddě.
33 And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.
I nalezl tu člověka jednoho, jménem Eneáše, již od osmi let na loži ležícího, kterýž byl šlakem poražený.
34 And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.
I řekl mu Petr: Eneáši, uzdravujeť tebe Ježíš Kristus; vstaň a ustel sobě. A hned vstal.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.
I viděli jej všickni, kteříž bydlili v Lyddě a v Sároně, kteříž se obrátili ku Pánu.
36 And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Byla pak jedna učedlnice v Joppen, jménem Tabita, což se vykládá Dorkas. Ta byla plná skutků dobrých a almužen, kteréž činila.
37 And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
I stalo se v těch dnech, že roznemohši se, umřela. Kteroužto umyvše, položili na síň vrchní.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.
A že byla blízko Lydda od Joppen, uslyšavše učedlníci, že by tam byl Petr, poslali k němu dva muže, prosíce ho, aby sobě neobtěžoval přijíti až k nim.
39 And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.
Tedy vstav Petr, šel s nimi. A když přišel, vedli jej na síň. I obstoupily ho všecky vdovy, plačíce a ukazujíce sukně a pláště, kteréž jim dělala, dokudž s nimi byla, Dorkas.
40 And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
I rozkázav všechněm vyjíti ven Petr, poklek na kolena, modlil se, a obrátiv se k tomu tělu, řekl: Tabito, vstaň. A ona otevřela oči své, a uzřevši Petra, posadila se.
41 And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
A podav jí ruky Petr, pozdvihl jí; a povolav svatých a vdov, ukázal jim ji živou.
42 And it was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in the Lord.
I rozhlášeno jest to po všem městě Joppen, a uvěřili mnozí v Pána.
43 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
I stalo se, že za mnohé dni pozůstal Petr v Joppen u nějakého Šimona koželuha.
