2 Péter 1
1 Simon Péter, Jézus Krisztus szolgája és apostola azoknak, akik velünk együtt drága hitet nyertek a mi Istenünknek és megtartónknak, Jézus Krisztusnak igazsága által.
I, Simon Peter, [am writing this letter to you. I] serve Jesus Christ, and am an apostle [appointed by] him. [I am sending this letter to you] whom God has caused to believe [in Christ] just like he [caused us(exc) apostles to believe in Christ]. You and we have (equally been given the/both been given the same) privilege of believing in Jesus Christ. He [is] God, he is righteous, he is the one whom we [worship], and he is our Savior.
2 Kegyelem és békesség adassék néktek bőségesen Istennek és Jézusnak, a mi Urunknak megismerésében.
[I pray that God] will continue to act very kindly towards you, and give you (a deep/very much) [inner] peace, because you [truly] know God and Jesus, who is our Lord.
3 Az ő isteni ereje megajándékozott minket mindennel, ami az életre és kegyességre való, annak megismerése által, aki minket saját dicsőségével és hatalmával elhívott,
[God] [PRS] has given us everything [that we need] in order that we might receive [eternal] life and in order that we might [live] (in a godly way/in a way that pleases him). He gives us that by the power that he has because he is God, and he has also given it to us as a result of our knowing him. He is the wonderful and perfect one who chose us [to be his people].
4 és így igen nagy és becses ígéretekkel ajándékozott meg bennünket, hogy ezek révén isteni természet részeseivé legyetek, elkerülve a romlottságot, amely a bűnös kívánság által uralkodik a világon.
Being [glorious and perfect], he has promised us [that he will do] very great and (priceless/very precious) things [for us]. [He has also promised] you that by [believing what he has promised] you will be able to act [righteously], just like God acts [righteously], and that you will be free from being morally depraved/corrupted, and that you will not be [like] those who do not believe in Christ and are morally depraved because of their desire to do things that are evil.
5 Ugyanerre teljes igyekezetet fordítva, hitetekben mutassátok meg jó cselekedeteiteket, a jó cselekedetekben ismeretet,
Because God has done all that, by trying very hard, make sure that you not only believe [in Christ], but that you are also living morally good lives. And make sure that you are not only living morally good lives, but that you also know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely).
6 az ismeretben mértékletességet, a mértékletességben állhatatosságot, az állhatatosságban pedig kegyességet.
And make sure that you not only know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely), but that you also control what you say and do. And make sure that you not only control what you say and do, but that you are also steadfast/patient. And make sure that you are not only (steadfast/patient when you suffer), but that you are also godly.
7 A kegyességben pedig az atyafiak iránti szeretetet, az atyafiak iránti szeretetben pedig minden ember iránti szeretetet.
And make sure that you not only (are godly/live in a way that pleases God), but that you also have a concern for your fellow believers, as brothers and sisters [ought to have] for each other. And make sure that you not only have a concern for your fellow believers, but that you also love [others].
8 Mert ha ezek megvannak és gyarapodnak bennetek, akkor nem lesztek a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus megismerésében sem hivalkodók, sem gyümölcstelenek.
If you do these [things], and if [you do them] more and more, that demonstrates that knowing our Lord Jesus Christ (is very effective/produces good results) [LIT] in your lives.
9 Akiben ezek nincsenek meg, az vak, rövidlátó, mert elfelejtette a régi bűneiből való megtisztulást.
If these [qualities] are not present in people, it means they are not aware [that these things are important, just like a blind person is not aware of what is around him]. They [think only about earthly matters, just like] [MET] a shortsighted person [sees clearly only things that are near]. It seems that they have forgotten that God has forgiven them for their former sinful lives.
10 Ezért, atyámfiai, igyekezzétek inkább elhívásotokat és kiválasztásotokat megerősíteni, mert ha ezt teszitek, nem fogtok elesni soha.
Instead of [acting like those people], try to confirm/prove by the way you conduct your lives that you are among those whom [God] has chosen [DOU] to be his people. If you do that, you will certainly never become separated from God,
11 Így majd szabadon fogtok bemenni a mi Urunknak és Megtartónknak, Jézus Krisztusnak örök országába. (aiōnios g166)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ezért nem mulasztom el, hogy mindenkor emlékeztesselek titeket ezekre, noha tudjátok ezeket, és szilárdan álltok a jelenvaló igazságban.
I intend to keep on reminding you very frequently [HYP] about these [matters], even though you [already] know them and are firmly convinced that they are true.
13 Méltónak vélem, amíg ebben a porsátorban vagyok, hogy emlékeztetéssel ébresztgesselek titeket.
I consider it right that I should help you [to continually think about these matters] by reminding you [about them] as long as I am alive [EUP],
14 Mert tudom, hogy hamar leteszem porsátoromat, amint a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus is kijelentette nekem.
because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
15 De igyekezem, hogy ti az én halálom után is megemlékezhessetek ezekről.
Moreover, I will (make every effort/try hard) [by writing these things down] to enable you to remember them at all times after I have died [EUP].
16 Mert nem kitalált meséket követve ismertettük meg veletek a mi Urunk Jézus hatalmát és megjelenését, hanem mint akik szemtanúi voltunk az ő fenségének.
We [apostles] told you that our Lord Jesus Christ [acts] powerfully and that he is coming back [some day]. We were not basing [what we told you] on stories that we had cleverly (invented/made up). Instead, we told you what we ourselves saw with our own eyes, that [the] Lord Jesus is supremely great.
17 Mert amikor az Atya Istentől tisztességet és dicsőséget nyert, és Hozzá a felséges dicsőségből ez szózat hangzott: „Ez az én szeretett Fiam, akiben én gyönyörködöm, “
God, our Father, greatly honored him when God’s great glory/brightness surrounded him, and God [MTY] said, “This is my Son, whom I love very much; I am very pleased with him.”
18 ezt az égből jövő szózatot mi hallottuk, mert együtt voltunk vele a szent hegyen.
We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
19 Ezért igen biztos nálunk a prófétai beszéd, amelyre jól teszitek, ha figyeltek, mint sötét helyen világító mécsesre, míg nappal virrad és hajnalcsillag kel fel szívetekben.
We also have [the Scriptures] that the prophets [wrote about Christ long ago], which are completely reliable/trustworthy. You should (pay attention to/think carefully about) [what they wrote], because [what they wrote enables you to know whether what is taught to you is true or whether it is false] [SIM], like a lamp that is shining in a dark place [enables people to see where they are going] [SIM]. [You should] ([pay attention to/think carefully about]) [what they wrote] until [our Lord Jesus Christ comes back and enables] you [SYN] [to know God fully, which will be like when] [MET] (a day dawns/daylight comes) and the morning star rises [and we can see it clearly].
20 Mindenekelőtt tudva azt, hogy az Írásban egy prófétai szó sem ered önkényes magyarázatból,
It is important that you realize that no one can interpret/explain by himself [the meaning of] what the prophets wrote [in the Scriptures] without [the help of God’s Spirit] (OR, no [part of the] Scriptures originated with the prophet himself),
21 mert sohasem ember akaratából származott a prófétai szó, hanem a Szentlélektől indíttatva szóltak Isten szent emberei.
because no human beings decided [to make those prophecies]. On the contrary, those who spoke [messages from God] did that because it was the Holy Spirit who caused them to do [it, and therefore the Spirit must help us to interpret/understand their meaning].
