2 Petrus 1
1 Surat ini datang dari Simon Petrus, seorang hamba dan rasul Yesus Kristus, untuk mereka yang berbagi dengan kita kepercayaan sangat berharga yang sama kepada Allah dan Juruselamat kita Yesus Kristus, seseorang yang benar-benar baik dan melakukan apa yang benar.
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 Semoga kalian semua mendapatkan lebih banyak kasih karunia dan damai sejahtera saat kalian bertumbuh dalam pengetahuan tentang Allah dan Yesus, Tuhan kita.
[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 Melalui kekuatan ilahi-Nya kita sudah diberikan segala sesuatu yang penting untuk menjalani kehidupan dengan Allah sebagai pusat kehidupan kita. Ini datang dengan cara mengenal Dia yang sudah memanggil kita kepada diri-Nya sendiri oleh karena kemuliaan dan kebaikan-Nya. Dengan cara ini Dia memberikan kepada kita janji-janji yang indah dan tak ternilai harganya.
[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 Melalui janji-janji ini kalian dapat berbagi dalam sifat ilahi, terbebas dari kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh keinginan jahat dunia ini.
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 Untuk alasan yang sama ini, lakukan semua yang kalian bisa! Tambahkan kebaikan pada kepercayaan kalian pada Allah; tambahkan pengetahuan kepada kebaikan;
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 tambahkan pengetahuan kepada tambahkan pengendalian diri; tambahkan pengendalian kepada kesabaran diri; tambahkan kesabaran kepada rasa hormat;
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 tambahkan kasih sayang untuk sesama orang percaya kepada rasa hormat, dan tambahkan kasih kepada kasih sayang untuk sesama orang percaya.
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 Semakin kita memiliki sifat-sifat ini, semakin sifat-sifat ini akan membantu kita menjadi efektif dan produktif dalam pengetahuan kalian tentang Tuhan kalian Yesus Kristus.
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 Bagi siapa pun yang tidak memiliki kualitas seperti itu adalah memiliki pola pikir yang picik dan sempit, atau buta. Mereka lupa bahwa mereka sudah dibersihkan dari dosa masa lalu mereka.
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 Jadi, saudara dan saudari sekalian, teruslah semakin bertekad untuk memastikan bahwa masing-masing kalian benar-benar “dipanggil dan dipilih.” Jika setiap kalian melakukan ini, kalian tidak akan pernah jatuh.
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 Setiap kalian akan menerima sambutan yang luar biasa ketika kalian masuk dalam kerajaan kekal Tuhan dan Juruselamat kita, Yesus Kristus. (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 Itulah sebabnya saya selalu mengingatkan kalian tentang hal-hal ini, meskipun kalian sudah mengetahuinya, dan kalian berdiri teguh dalam kebenaran yang kalian miliki.
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 Tetapi saya masih berpikir itu ide yang baik untuk memberi semangat kepada kalian dengan mengingatkan kalian selama saya masih hidup.
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 Saya tahu sudah hampir tiba waktunya untuk saya akan meninggalkan kehidupan ini — Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus sudah menjelaskan hal ini kepada saya.
because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
15 Saya akan melakukan yang terbaik agar ketika saya tidak ada lagi nanti, kalian akan selalu dapat mengingat hal-hal ini.
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 Kami tidak mengikuti dongeng-dongeng yang dibuat-buat ketika kami memberi tahu kalian tentang datangnya kuasa Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus — kami melihat keagungan-Nya sendiri.
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 Yesus menerima penghormatan dan kemuliaan dari Allah Bapa ketika suara kemuliaan yang agung berbicara kepada-Nya dan mengumumkan, “Inilah Putraku, yang Aku kasihi, dan yang benar-benar menyenangkan-Ku.”
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 Kami sendiri mendengar suara ini berbicara dari surga ketika kami bersama-Nya di gunung kudus.
We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
19 Kami juga memiliki perkataan nubuatan yang meneguhkan yang benar-benar dapat dipercaya, dan kalian akan mendapat manfaat dengan memperhatikannya. Perkataan nubuatan itu akan seperti lampu yang bersinar di tempat gelap sampai fajar menyingsing, dan seperti bintang pagi yang bersinar untuk menerangi pikiran kalian.
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 Sebagian besar dari kalian semua haruslah menyadari bahwa tidak ada nubuatan Kitab Suci yang merupakan penafsiran berdasarkan keinginan seorang pribadi,
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 karena tidak ada nubuat yang berasal dari ide-ide manusia, tetapi para nabi berbicara untuk Allah karena mereka digerakkan oleh Roh Kudus.
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].
