2 Peter 1
1 Symeon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to them who have obtained like precious faith with us, through 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 Favor and peace be multiplied to you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.
Blagodat i mir da vam se umnoži poznavanjem Boga i Hrista Isusa Gospoda našega.
3 As his divine power has gifted to us all things which are necessary to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and virtue.
Buduæi da su nam sve božanstvene sile njegove, koje trebaju k životu i pobožnosti, darovane poznanjem onoga koji nas pozva slavom i dobrodjetelju,
4 On account of which, the greatest and most precious promises are freely given to us, that by these we might be made partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world, through lust.
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 reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;
I na samo ovo okrenite sve staranje svoje da pokažete u vjeri svojoj dobrodjetelj, a u dobrodjetelji razum,
6 and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
A u razumu uzdržanje, a u uzdržanju trpljenje, a u trpljenju pobožnost,
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love:
A u pobožnosti bratoljublje, a u bratoljublju ljubav.
8 for these things being in you, and abounding, make you to be neither slothful, 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 who has not these things, is blind, shutting his eyes, having become forgetful of the purification of his old sins.
A ko nema ovoga slijep je, i pipa zaboravivši oèišæenje od starijeh svojijeh grijeha.
10 Wherefore, the rather, brethren, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never fall;
Zato, braæo, postarajte se još veæma da svoju službu i izbor utvrdite; jer èineæi ovo neæete pogriješiti nikad;
11 and thus there shall be richly ministered to you, an entrance into the everlasting 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 neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, although you know, 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 Yes, I think it fit, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance;
Jer mislim da je pravo dokle sam god u ovom tijelu da vas budim opominjanjem,
14 knowing, that the putting off of this, my tabernacle, is soon to happen, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
Znajuæi da æu skoro tijelo svoje odbaciti kao što mi kaza i Gospod naš Isus Hristos.
15 Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
A trudiæu se svakojako da se i po rastanku mojemu možete opominjati ovoga;
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his grandeur;
Jer vam ne pokazasmo sile i dolaska Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista po pripovijetkama mudro izmišljenijem, nego smo sami vidjeli slavu njegovu.
17 for when he received from God the Father honor and glory, a vice to this effect came to him from the magnificent glory, "This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight."
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 come from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain:
I ovaj glas mi èusmo gdje siðe s neba kad bijasmo s njim na svetoj gori.
19 so we have the prophetic word more firm; to which you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in 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 first, that no prophecy brought by the will of man;
I ovo znajte najprije da nijedno proroštvo književno ne biva po svome kazivanju;
21 but the holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Jer nikad proroštvo ne bi od èovjeèije volje, nego nauèeni od svetoga Duha govoriše sveti Božiji ljudi.
