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,
Evo vam, ljubazni, veæ pišem drugu poslanicu u kojima budim napominjanjem vaš èisti razum,
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 opominjete rijeèi koje su naprijed kazali sveti proroci, i zapovijesti svojijeh apostola od Gospoda i spasa.
3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,
I ovo znajte najprije da æe u pošljednje dane doæi rugaèi koji æe življeti po svojijem željama,
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 govoriti: gdje je obeæanje dolaska njegova? Jer otkako oci pomriješe sve stoji tako od poèetka 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,
Jer navalice neæe da znadu da su nebesa bila otprije i zemlja iz vode i usred vode Božijom rijeèi.
6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.
Zato tadašnji svijet bi vodom potopljen i pogibe.
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 tom istom rijeèi zadržana su te se èuvaju za dan strašnoga suda i pogibli bezakonijeh 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.
Ali ovo jedno da vam ne bude nepoznato, ljubazni, da je jedan dan pred Gospodom kao hiljada godina, i hiljada 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 docni Gospod s obeæanjem, kao što neki misle da docni, nego nas trpi, jer neæe da ko pogine, nego svi da doðu u pokajanje.
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.
Ali æe doæi dan Gospodnji kao lupež noæu, u koji æe nebesa s hukom proæi, a stihije æe se od vatre raspasti a zemlja i djela što su na njoj izgorjeæe.
11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
Kad æe se dakle ovo sve raskopati, kakovijem treba vama biti u svetom 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?
Èekajuæi i želeæi da bude skorije dolazak Božijega dana, kojega æe se radi nebesa spaliti i raskopati, i stihije od vatre rastopiti?
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
Ali èekamo po obeæanju njegovu novo nebo i novu zemlju, gdje pravda živi.
14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;
Zato, ljubazni, èekajuæi ovo starajte se da vas on naðe èiste i prave 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,
I trpljenje Gospoda našega držite za spasenje; kao što vam i ljubazni naš brat Pavle po danoj mu premudrosti pisa.
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.
Kao što govori o ovome i u svima svojijem poslanicama, u kojima imaju neke stvari teške razumjeti, koje nenauèeni i neutvrðeni izvræu, kao i ostala pisma, na svoju pogibao.
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:
A vi dakle, ljubazni, znajuæi naprijed, èuvajte se da prijevarom bezakonika ne budete odvedeni s njima, i ne otpadnete od svoje tvrðe;
The Great Flood
