2 Petrův 1
1 Šimon Petr, služebník a apoštol Ježíše Krista, těm, kteříž spolu s námi zároveň drahé dosáhli víry, pro spravedlnost Boha našeho a Spasitele Jezukrista:
I, Simon Peter, [am writing this letter to you. I] serve Jesus Christ, and am an apostle [appointed by] him. [I am sending this letter to you] whom God has caused to believe [in Christ] just like he [caused us(exc) apostles to believe in Christ]. You and we have (equally been given the/both been given the same) privilege of believing in Jesus Christ. He [is] God, he is righteous, he is the one whom we [worship], and he is our Savior.
2 Milost vám a pokoj rozmnožen buď skrze známost Boha a Ježíše Pána našeho.
[I pray that God] will continue to act very kindly towards you, and give you (a deep/very much) [inner] peace, because you [truly] know God and Jesus, who is our Lord.
3 Jakož nám od jeho Božské moci všecko, což potřebí bylo k životu a ku zbožnosti, darováno jest, skrze známost toho, kterýž povolal nás k slávě a k ctnosti.
[God] [PRS] has given us everything [that we need] in order that we might receive [eternal] life and in order that we might [live] (in a godly way/in a way that pleases him). He gives us that by the power that he has because he is God, and he has also given it to us as a result of our knowing him. He is the wonderful and perfect one who chose us [to be his people].
4 Odkudžto veliká nám a drahá zaslíbení dána jsou, tak abyste skrze ně Božského přirození účastníci učiněni byli, utekše porušení toho, kteréž jest na světě v žádostech zlých.
Being [glorious and perfect], he has promised us [that he will do] very great and (priceless/very precious) things [for us]. [He has also promised] you that by [believing what he has promised] you will be able to act [righteously], just like God acts [righteously], and that you will be free from being morally depraved/corrupted, and that you will not be [like] those who do not believe in Christ and are morally depraved because of their desire to do things that are evil.
5 A na to pak vy všecku snažnost svou vynaložíce, prokazujte u víře své ctnost, a v ctnosti umění,
Because God has done all that, by trying very hard, make sure that you not only believe [in Christ], but that you are also living morally good lives. And make sure that you are not only living morally good lives, but that you also know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely).
6 V umění pak zdrželivost, a v zdrželivosti trpělivost, v trpělivosti pak zbožnost,
And make sure that you not only know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely), but that you also control what you say and do. And make sure that you not only control what you say and do, but that you are also steadfast/patient. And make sure that you are not only (steadfast/patient when you suffer), but that you are also godly.
7 V zbožnosti pak bratrstva milování, a v milování bratrstva lásku.
And make sure that you not only (are godly/live in a way that pleases God), but that you also have a concern for your fellow believers, as brothers and sisters [ought to have] for each other. And make sure that you not only have a concern for your fellow believers, but that you also love [others].
8 Ty zajisté věci když budou při vás a to rozhojněné, ne prázdné, ani neužitečné postaví vás v známosti Pána našeho Jezukrista.
If you do these [things], and if [you do them] more and more, that demonstrates that knowing our Lord Jesus Christ (is very effective/produces good results) [LIT] in your lives.
9 Nebo při komž není těchto věcí, slepýť jest, a toho, což vzdáleno jest, nevida, zapomenuv na očištění svých starých hříchů.
If these [qualities] are not present in people, it means they are not aware [that these things are important, just like a blind person is not aware of what is around him]. They [think only about earthly matters, just like] [MET] a shortsighted person [sees clearly only things that are near]. It seems that they have forgotten that God has forgiven them for their former sinful lives.
10 Protož, bratří, raději snažte se pevné povolání své i vyvolení učiniti; nebo to činíce, nepadnete nikdy.
Instead of [acting like those people], try to confirm/prove by the way you conduct your lives that you are among those whom [God] has chosen [DOU] to be his people. If you do that, you will certainly never become separated from God,
11 Takť zajisté hojné způsobeno vám bude vjití k věčnému království Pána našeho a Spasitele Jezukrista. (aiōnios g166)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
12 Protož nezanedbámť vždycky vám připomínati těch věcí, ačkoli umělí i utvrzení jste v přítomné pravdě.
I intend to keep on reminding you very frequently [HYP] about these [matters], even though you [already] know them and are firmly convinced that they are true.
13 Neboť to mám za spravedlivé, dokudž jsem v tomto stánku, abych vás probuzoval napomínáním,
I consider it right that I should help you [to continually think about these matters] by reminding you [about them] as long as I am alive [EUP],
14 Věda, že brzké jest složení stánku mého, jakož mi i Pán náš Ježíš Kristus oznámil.
because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
15 Přičinímť se i o to, abyste vy po odchodu mém často se na ty věci rozpomínati mohli.
Moreover, I will (make every effort/try hard) [by writing these things down] to enable you to remember them at all times after I have died [EUP].
16 Nebo ne nějakých vtipně složených básní následujíce, známu učinili jsme vám Pána našeho Jezukrista moc a příchod, ale jakožto ti, kteříž jsme očima svýma viděli jeho velebnost.
We [apostles] told you that our Lord Jesus Christ [acts] powerfully and that he is coming back [some day]. We were not basing [what we told you] on stories that we had cleverly (invented/made up). Instead, we told you what we ourselves saw with our own eyes, that [the] Lord Jesus is supremely great.
17 Přijalť jest zajisté od Boha Otce čest a slávu, když se stal k němu hlas takový od velebné slávy: Tentoť jest ten můj milý Syn, v němž mi se zalíbilo.
God, our Father, greatly honored him when God’s great glory/brightness surrounded him, and God [MTY] said, “This is my Son, whom I love very much; I am very pleased with him.”
18 A ten hlas my jsme slyšeli s nebe pošlý, s ním byvše na oné hoře svaté.
We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
19 A mámeť přepevnou řeč prorockou, kteréžto že šetříte jako svíce, jenž svítí v temném místě, dobře činíte, až by se den rozednil a dennice vzešla v srdcích vašich,
We also have [the Scriptures] that the prophets [wrote about Christ long ago], which are completely reliable/trustworthy. You should (pay attention to/think carefully about) [what they wrote], because [what they wrote enables you to know whether what is taught to you is true or whether it is false] [SIM], like a lamp that is shining in a dark place [enables people to see where they are going] [SIM]. [You should] ([pay attention to/think carefully about]) [what they wrote] until [our Lord Jesus Christ comes back and enables] you [SYN] [to know God fully, which will be like when] [MET] (a day dawns/daylight comes) and the morning star rises [and we can see it clearly].
20 Toto nejprve znajíce, že žádného proroctví Písma svatého výklad nezáleží na rozumu lidském.
It is important that you realize that no one can interpret/explain by himself [the meaning of] what the prophets wrote [in the Scriptures] without [the help of God’s Spirit] (OR, no [part of the] Scriptures originated with the prophet himself),
21 Nebo nikdy z lidské vůle nepošlo proroctví, ale Duchem svatým puzeni jsouce, mluvili svatí Boží lidé.
because no human beings decided [to make those prophecies]. On the contrary, those who spoke [messages from God] did that because it was the Holy Spirit who caused them to do [it, and therefore the Spirit must help us to interpret/understand their meaning].
