2 Petrova 1
1 Šimun Petar, sluga i apostol Isusa Krista, onima koje pravednošću Boga našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista zapade ista dragocjena vjera kao i nas.
To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
2 Punina vam milosti i mira po spoznaji Boga i Isusa, Gospodina našega!
May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
3 Doista, po spoznaji njega, koji nas pozva slavom svojom i krepošću, božanska nas je snaga njegova obdarila svime za život i pobožnost.
For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
4 Time smo obdareni dragocjenim, najvećim obećanjima da po njima postanete zajedničari božanske naravi umakavši pokvarenosti koja je u svijetu zbog požude.
For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
5 Zbog toga svim marom prionite: vjerom osigurajte krepost, krepošću spoznaje,
Yes, and for this reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
6 spoznanjem uzdržljivost, uzdržljivošću postojanost, postojanošću pobožnost,
knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
7 pobožnošću bratoljublje, bratoljubljem ljubav.
piety by mutual affection, and mutual affection by love.
8 Jer ako to imate i u tom napredujete, nećete biti besposleni i neplodni za spoznanje Isusa Krista.
For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 A tko toga nema, slijep je, kratkovidan; zaboravio je da je očišćen od svojih prijašnjih grijeha.
Surely the person who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that they have been purified from their sins of the past!
10 Zato, braćo, to revnije uznastojte učvrstiti svoj poziv i izabranje: to čineći - ne, nećete posrnuti nikada!
Therefore, friends, do your best to put God’s call and selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
11 Tako će vam se bogato osigurati ulazak u vječno kraljevstvo Gospodina našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Zato ću vas uvijek na to podsjećati premda to znate i utvrđeni ste u primljenoj istini.
I will, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the truth that you now hold.
13 Pravo je, mislim, da vas dok sam u ovom šatoru, budim opomenom,
But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this “tent,” to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
14 svjestan da ću brzo napustiti svoj šator, kako mi i Gospodin naš Isus Krist očitova.
for I know that the time for this “tent” of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
15 A pobrinut ću se da se i nakon mojeg izlaska uvijek toga sjećate.
So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
16 Ta nismo vam navijestili snagu i Dolazak Gospodina našega Isusa Krista slijedeći izmudrene priče, nego kao očevici njegova veličanstva.
For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Od Oca je doista primio čast i slavu kad mu ono od uzvišene Slave doprije ovaj glas: Ovo je Sin moj, Ljubljeni moj, u njemu mi sva milina!
For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when from the glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these – “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy.”
18 Taj glas, koji s neba dopiraše, čusmo mi koji bijasmo s njime na Svetoj gori.
These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from heaven, when we were with him on that sacred mountain.
19 Tako nam je potvrđena proročka riječ te dobro činite što uza nju prianjate kao uza svjetiljku što svijetli na mrklu mjestu - dok Dan ne osvane i Danica se ne pomoli u srcima vašim.
And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Ponajprije znajte ovo: nijedno se proroštvo Pisma ne može tumačiti samovoljno
But first be assured of this: There is no prophetic teaching found in scripture that can be interpreted by a person’s unaided reason;
21 jer nikada proroštvo ne bi ljudskom voljom doneseno, nego su Duhom Svetim poneseni ljudi od Boga govorili.
for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of people, but people, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
