2 Peter 3
1 Ljubljeni, sedaj vam pišem torej to drugo poslanico; v katerih obeh sem vaše čiste ume razvnel z načinom spominjanja,
This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
2 da boste lahko razmišljali o besedah, ki so bile prej izgovorjene po svetih prerokih in o zapovedi od nas, apostolov Gospoda in Odrešenika.
that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles:
3 Vedite najprej to, da bodo v poslednjih dneh prišli porogljivci, ki bodo hodili za svojimi lastnimi poželenji
knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and walking after their own lusts,
4 ter govorili: »Kje je obljuba njegovega prihoda? Kajti odkar so očetje zaspali, se vse stvari nadaljujejo, kakor so bile od začetka stvarstva.«
and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
5 Kajti oni tega nočejo spoznati, da je bilo po Božji besedi nebo od davnine in [da] zemlja sestoji iz vode in v vodi.
For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
6 S čimer je bil svet, ki je bil takrat, preplavljen z vodo, uničen.
by which means the world that then was, being deluged with water, was destroyed.
7 Toda nebo in zemlja, ki sta sedaj, sta po isti besedi držana v rezervi, prihranjena ognju za dan sodbe in pogube brezbožnih ljudi.
But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
8 Toda ljubljeni, ne bodite nevedni o tej eni stvari, da je en dan z Gospodom kakor tisoč let in tisoč let kakor en dan.
But do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 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.
The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 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.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works on it will not be found.
11 Ker se bodo torej vse te stvari raztopile, kakšna vrsta oseb morate biti v vsem svetem vedênju in bogaboječnosti,
Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
12 da pričakujete in hitite k prihajanju Božjega dne, ko se bo nebo goreče stopilo in se bodo prvine stopile z gorečo vročino?
looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 Kljub temu pa mi, glede na njegovo obljubo, pričakujemo novo nebo in novo zemljo, kjer prebiva pravičnost.
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14 Torej, ljubljeni, glede na to, da pričakujete takšne stvari, si prizadevajte, da vas bo lahko našel v miru, brez madeža in brez krivde.
Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
15 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;
Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;
16 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.
as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 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.
You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
The Great Flood
