2 Peter 3
1 This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in [both] which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind,
Ljubljeni, pišem evo već drugu poslanicu. U objema opomenom budim vaš zdrav razbor
2 to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;
da se sjetite riječi što ih prorekoše sveti proroci i zapovijedi apostola vaših, zapovijedi Gospodinove i Spasiteljeve.
3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,
Znajte ponajprije ovo: u posljednje će se dane pojaviti podrugljivi izrugivači; povoditi će se za svojim požudama
4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus from [the] beginning of [the] creation.
i pitati: “Što je s obećanjem njegova Dolaska? Jer i otkad Oci pomriješe, sve ostaje kao što bijaše od početka stvorenja.”
5 For this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God,
Ta oni naumice zaboravljaju da nebesa bijahu odavna i da zemlja na Božju riječ posta iz vode i po vodi.
6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.
Na isti način ondašnji svijet propade vodom potopljen.
7 But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
A sadašnja nebesa i zemlja istom su riječju pohranjena za oganj i čuvaju se za Dan suda i propasti bezbožnih ljudi.
8 But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Jedno, ljubljeni, ne smetnite s uma: jedan je dan kod Gospodina kao tisuću godina, a tisuću godina kao jedan dan.
9 [The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Ne kasni Gospodin ispuniti obećanje, kako ga neki sporim smatraju, nego je strpljiv prema vama jer neće da tko propadne, nego hoće da svi prispiju k obraćenju.
10 But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.
Kao tat će doći Dan Gospodnji u koji će nebesa trijeskom uminuti, počela se, užarena, raspasti, a zemlja i djela na njoj razotkriti.
11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
Kad se sve tako ima raspasti, kako li treba da se svi vi ističete u svetu življenju i pobožnosti
12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?
iščekujući i pospješujući dolazak Dana Božjega u koji će se nebesa, zapaljena, raspasti i počela, užarena, rastaliti.
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
Ta po obećanju njegovu iščekujemo nova nebesa i zemlju novu, gdje pravednost prebiva.
14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;
Zato, ljubljeni, dok to iščekujete, uznastojte da mu budete neokaljani i besprijekorni, u miru.
15 and account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him,
A strpljivost Gospodina našega spasenjem smatrajte, kako vam i ljubljeni brat naš Pavao napisa po mudrosti koja mu je dana.
16 as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
Tako u svim poslanicama gdje o tome govori. U njima ima ponešto nerazumljivo, što neupućeni i nepostojani iskrivljuju, kao i ostala Pisma - sebi na propast.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these] things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness:
Vi dakle, ljubljeni pošto ste upozoreni, čuvajte se da ne biste, zavedeni bludnjom razularenika, otpali od svoje postojanosti.
The World is Destroyed by Water
