2 Peter 1
1 SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
Od Simona Petra, sluge i apostola Isusa Hrista, onima što su primili s nama jednu èasnu vjeru u pravdi Boga našega i spasa Isusa Hrista:
2 grace unto you and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God, even Jesus our Lord,
Blagodat i mir da vam se umnoži poznavanjem Boga i Hrista Isusa Gospoda našega.
3 as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude:
Buduæi da su nam sve božanstvene sile njegove, koje trebaju k životu i pobožnosti, darovane poznanjem onoga koji nas pozva slavom i dobrodjetelju,
4 whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.―
Kroz koje se nama darovaše èasna i prevelika obeæanja, da njih radi imate dijel u Božijoj prirodi, ako uteèete od tjelesnijeh želja ovoga svijeta.
5 And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence;
I na samo ovo okrenite sve staranje svoje da pokažete u vjeri svojoj dobrodjetelj, a u dobrodjetelji razum,
6 and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety;
A u razumu uzdržanje, a u uzdržanju trpljenje, a u trpljenju pobožnost,
7 and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love.
A u pobožnosti bratoljublje, a u bratoljublju ljubav.
8 For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jer kad je ovo u vama, i množi se, neæe vas ostaviti lijene niti bez ploda u poznanju Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista.
9 But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days.
A ko nema ovoga slijep je, i pipa zaboravivši oèišæenje od starijeh svojijeh grijeha.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble:
Zato, braæo, postarajte se još veæma da svoju službu i izbor utvrdite; jer èineæi ovo neæete pogriješiti nikad;
11 but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Jer vam se tako obilno dopusti ulazak u vjeèno carstvo Gospoda našega i spasa Isusa Hrista. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
Zato se neæu olijeniti opominjati vam jednako ovo, ako i znate i utvrðeni ste u ovoj istini;
13 Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you:
Jer mislim da je pravo dokle sam god u ovom tijelu da vas budim opominjanjem,
14 knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.
Znajuæi da æu skoro tijelo svoje odbaciti kao što mi kaza i Gospod naš Isus Hristos.
15 I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things.
A trudiæu se svakojako da se i po rastanku mojemu možete opominjati ovoga;
16 For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
Jer vam ne pokazasmo sile i dolaska Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista po pripovijetkama mudro izmišljenijem, nego smo sami vidjeli slavu njegovu.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
Jer on primi od Boga oca èast i slavu kad doðe k njemu takovi glas: ovo je sin moj ljubazni, koji je po mojoj volji.
18 And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
I ovaj glas mi èusmo gdje siðe s neba kad bijasmo s njim na svetoj gori.
19 And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts.
I imamo najpouzdaniju proroèku rijeè, i dobro èinite što pazite na nju, kao na vidjelo koje svijetli u tamnome mjestu, dokle dan ne osvane i danica se ne rodi u srcima vašima.
20 Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man’s own suggestions.
I ovo znajte najprije da nijedno proroštvo književno ne biva po svome kazivanju;
21 For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.
Jer nikad proroštvo ne bi od èovjeèije volje, nego nauèeni od svetoga Duha govoriše sveti Božiji ljudi.
