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],
Tu vam, ljubljeni, pišem že drugi list, v obéh zbujam v opominu vaš čisti razum;
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 se spominjate prej govorjenih besed svetih prerokov, in nas aposteljnov zapovedi Gospoda in zveličarja;
3 this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,
To najprej vedóč, da pridejo v zadnjih dnevih posmehovalci, hodeči po lastnih svojih poželenjih,
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;'
In govoreči: Kje je obljuba prihoda njegovega? Kajti odkar so legli očetje, vse ostane tako od stvarjenja začetka.
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 hotoma ne vedó tega, da so bila od nekdaj nebesa in zemlja, ki je postala iz vode in z vodo, po besedi Božji;
6 through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed;
Po katerih je tedanji svet poginil z vodo potopljen;
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.
Sedanja nebesa pa in zemlja shranjena so z isto besedo, ognju hranjena za dan sodbe in pogube brezbožnih ljudî.
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;
To eno pa vam ne bodi skrito, ljubljeni, da je en dan pred 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 ne odlaša z obljubo, kar neki imajo za odlašanje; nego potrpežljiv je z nami, ker noče, da se pogubé neki, nego da vsi pridejo do pokore.
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.
Prišel pa bode dan Gospodov kakor tat po noči, v katerem preidejo nebesa z ropotom, in prvine, razpadejo goreč, in zemlja in dela na nji zgoré.
11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?
Ko torej vse to razpada, koliki morate biti v svetem vedenji in pobožnosti,
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;
Čakajoč in hrepeneč po prihodu dneva Gospodovega, po katerem nebesa razpadejo v ognji, in se prvine goreč raztopé?
13 and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell;
Novih pa nebes in zemlje nove pričakujemo po obljubi njegovi, v katerih prebiva pravica.
14 wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,
Zato, ljubljeni, tega čakajoč, trudite se, da bodete brez madeža in brez hibe najdeni v miru pred njim;
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 potrpežljivost Gospoda našega imejte za blaginjo; kakor vam je tudi ljubljeni brat naš Pavel pisal po dani mu modrosti;
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 tudi v vseh listih, govoreč v njih o tem; v katerih je nekaj težko razumljivega, kar nevedni in neutrjeni zavijajo, kakor tudi ostala pisma, v lastno pogubo svojo.
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, ki to naprej veste, pazite, da vas pregrešnih zmota za seboj ne potegne in ne padete iz lastnega trdega stanja;
The World is Destroyed by Water
