2 Peter 3
1 This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,
Ljubljeni, pišem evo već drugu poslanicu. U objema opomenom budim vaš zdrav razbor
2 To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour.
da se sjetite riječi što ih prorekoše sveti proroci i zapovijedi apostola vaših, zapovijedi Gospodinove i Spasiteljeve.
3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,
Znajte ponajprije ovo: u posljednje će se dane pojaviti podrugljivi izrugivači; povoditi će se za svojim požudama
4 And say, Where is the promise of his comming? for since the fathers died, all things continue alike 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 they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the 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 Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
Na isti način ondašnji svijet propade vodom potopljen.
7 But the heauens and earth, which are nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued vnto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of vngodly men.
A sadašnja nebesa i zemlja istom su riječju pohranjena za oganj i čuvaju se za Dan suda i propasti bezbožnih ljudi.
8 Dearely beloued, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, as a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres 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 of that promise is not slacke (as some men count slackenesse) but is pacient toward vs, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to 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 thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a noyse, and the elements shall melt with heate, and the earth with the workes that are therein, shalbe burnt vp.
Kao tat će doći Dan Gospodnji u koji će nebesa trijeskom uminuti, počela se, užarena, raspasti, a zemlja i djela na njoj razotkriti.
11 Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
Kad se sve tako ima raspasti, kako li treba da se svi vi ističete u svetu življenju i pobožnosti
12 Looking for, and hasting vnto the comming of that day of God, by the which the heauens being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements shall melt with heate?
iščekujući i pospješujući dolazak Dana Božjega u koji će se nebesa, zapaljena, raspasti i počela, užarena, rastaliti.
13 But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.
Ta po obećanju njegovu iščekujemo nova nebesa i zemlju novu, gdje pravednost prebiva.
14 Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blamelesse.
Zato, ljubljeni, dok to iščekujete, uznastojte da mu budete neokaljani i besprijekorni, u miru.
15 And suppose that the long suffering of our Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto him wrote to you,
A strpljivost Gospodina našega spasenjem smatrajte, kako vam i ljubljeni brat naš Pavao napisa po mudrosti koja mu je dana.
16 As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of these thinges: among the which some thinges are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other Scriptures vnto their owne 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 beloued, seeing ye know these thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse.
Vi dakle, ljubljeni pošto ste upozoreni, čuvajte se da ne biste, zavedeni bludnjom razularenika, otpali od svoje postojanosti.
The World is Destroyed by Water
