2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, služabnik in apostol Jezusa Kristusa tem, ki so z nami po Božji pravičnosti in našem Odrešeniku Jezusu Kristusu dosegli podobno dragoceno vero:
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ:
2 ›Milost in mir naj se vam pomnožita prek spoznanja Boga in Jezusa, našega Gospoda,
grace and peace be multiplied unto you, in the acknowledgement of God, and of Jesus our Lord;
3 glede na to, kot nam je njegova božanska moč dala vse stvari, ki se nanašajo na življenje in bogaboječnost, prek spoznanja tistega, ki nas je poklical v slavo in moč;
as his divine power hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who hath called us by that glory and virtue,
4 po katerih so nam dane silno velike in dragocene obljube, da bi bili po teh lahko soudeleženci božanske narave, ko smo pobegnili propadljivosti, ki je na svetu prek poželenja.‹
by which are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 In poleg tega darujte vso marljivost, dodajte svoji veri krepost, in kreposti spoznanje,
And to this giving all diligence, add to your faith fortitude;
6 in spoznanju zmernost, in zmernosti potrpežljivost, in potrpežljivosti bogaboječnost,
and to fortitude knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience piety;
7 in bogaboječnosti bratsko prijaznost, in bratski prijaznosti ljubezen.
and to piety brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection charity.
8 Kajti če so te stvari v vas in [so] obilne, vas naredijo, da ne boste niti jalovi niti brez sadu v spoznanju našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
For if these be in you and abound, they will not suffer you to be idle, nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Toda komur te stvari primanjkujejo, je slep in kratkoviden in je pozabil, da je bil očiščen od svojih starih grehov.
But he, that hath not these, is blind, or short-sighted, having forgot his baptismal purification from his former sins.
10 Bratje, zatorej si raje prizadevajte, da storite svojo poklicanost in izvoljenost zanesljivo; kajti če te stvari počnete, nikoli ne boste padli,
Wherefore, my brethren, be the more diligent thus to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things ye shall never fall.
11 kajti tako vam bo razkošno odprt vstop v večno kraljestvo našega Gospoda in Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be administered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Zato ne bom nemaren, da vas ne bi vedno opominjal o teh stvareh, čeprav jih veste in ste utrjeni v pričujoči resnici.
Wherefore I will not neglect to put you always in mind of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Da, mislim, da je primerno, dokler sem v tem šotoru, da vas razvnamem s tem, da vas spomnim,
And I think it my duty, while I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by way of remembrance:
14 vedoč, da bom moral v kratkem odložiti ta svoj šotor, kakor mi je pokazal naš Gospod Jezus Kristus.
knowing that I must soon lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Poleg tega si bom prizadeval, da boste po mojem odhodu [s sveta] lahko imeli te stvari vedno v spominu.
And I will endeavour that after my departure also ye may always be able to call these things to remembrance.
16 Kajti ko smo vam dali spoznati moč in prihod našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, nismo sledili pretkano izmišljenim bajkam, ampak smo bili očividci njegovega veličanstva.
For we did not follow artfully devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Kajti od Boga Očeta je prejel čast in slavo, ko je iz odlične slave k njemu prišel takšen glas: »Ta je moj ljubljeni Sin, v katerem sem zelo zadovoljen.«
For He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice came to Him from the magnificent glory, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18 In ta glas, ki je prišel z neba, smo slišali, ko smo bili z njim na sveti gori.
And this voice, from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount.
19 Imamo tudi zanesljivejšo preroško besedo; zato pravilno delate, da pazite nanjo kakor na svetilko, ki sije na temnem kraju, dokler ne zasveti zora in v vaših srcih ne vzide zvezda danica;
We have also the more sure word of the prophets, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning-star rise in your hearts:
20 vedoč najprej to, da nobena prerokba iz pisem ni iz kakršnekoli osebne razlage.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation;
21 Kajti prerokba v starih časih ni prišla s človeško voljo, temveč so sveti Božji možje govorili, kakor bi bili spodbujeni s Svetim Duhom.
for prophecy was not delivered of old at the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit.
