2 Peter 3

1 This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you],

Ljubljeni, sedaj vam pišem torej to drugo poslanico; v katerih obeh sem vaše čiste ume razvnel z načinom spominjanja,

2 to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,

da boste lahko razmišljali o besedah, ki so bile prej izgovorjene po svetih prerokih in o zapovedi od nas, apostolov Gospoda in Odrešenika.

3 this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,

Vedite najprej to, da bodo v poslednjih dneh prišli porogljivci, ki bodo hodili za svojimi lastnimi poželenji

4 and saying, 'Where is the promise of his presence? for since the fathers did fall asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation;'

ter govorili: »Kje je obljuba njegovega prihoda? Kajti odkar so očetje zaspali, se vse stvari nadaljujejo, kakor so bile od začetka stvarstva.«

5 for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,

Kajti oni tega nočejo spoznati, da je bilo po Božji besedi nebo od davnine in [da] zemlja sestoji iz vode in v vodi.

6 through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed;

S čimer je bil svet, ki je bil takrat, preplavljen z vodo, uničen.

7 and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.

Toda nebo in zemlja, ki sta sedaj, sta po isti besedi držana v rezervi, prihranjena ognju za dan sodbe in pogube brezbožnih ljudi.

8 And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

Toda ljubljeni, ne bodite nevedni o tej eni stvari, da je en dan z Gospodom kakor tisoč let in tisoč let kakor en dan.

9 the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,

Gospod ni počasen glede svoje obljube, kakor nekateri ljudje razumejo počasnost, temveč je do nas potrpežljiv, ne voljan, da bi se kdorkoli pogubil, temveč da bi vsi prišli do kesanja.

10 and it will come — the day of the Lord — as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

Toda Gospodov dan bo prišel kakor tat v noči; v kateri bo nebo preminilo z velikim hrupom in prvine se bodo stopile z gorečo vročino; tudi zemlja in dela, ki so na njej, bodo sežgana.

11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?

Ker se bodo torej vse te stvari raztopile, kakšna vrsta oseb morate biti v vsem svetem vedênju in bogaboječnosti,

12 waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt;

da pričakujete in hitite k prihajanju Božjega dne, ko se bo nebo goreče stopilo in se bodo prvine stopile z gorečo vročino?

13 and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell;

Kljub temu pa mi, glede na njegovo obljubo, pričakujemo novo nebo in novo zemljo, kjer prebiva pravičnost.

14 wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,

Torej, ljubljeni, glede na to, da pričakujete takšne stvari, si prizadevajte, da vas bo lahko našel v miru, brez madeža in brez krivde.

15 and the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul — according to the wisdom given to him — did write to you,

In upoštevajte, da je potrpežljivost našega Gospoda rešitev duš; kakor vam je napisal tudi naš ljubljeni brat Pavel, glede na modrost, ki mu je bila dana;

16 as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction.

kakor je tudi v vseh njegovih poslanicah, kjer v njih govori o teh stvareh; v katerih so nekatere stvari težke za razumevanje, ki jih tisti, ki so nepoučeni in omahljivi, pačijo, kakor počno tudi drugim pismom, v svoje lastno uničenje.

17 Ye, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, ye may fall from your own stedfastness,

Vi torej, ljubljeni, glede na to, da vidim, da poprej poznate te stvari, se varujte, da ne bi tudi vi, zavedeni z zmoto zlobnih, odpadli od svoje lastne neomajnosti.

18 and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him [is] the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen. (aiōn g165)

Temveč rastite v milosti in v spoznanju našega Gospoda in Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa. Njemu bodi slava tako sedaj in na veke. Amen. (aiōn g165)

The World is Destroyed by Water
