2 Peter 1
1 Simeon Peter hlapec in apostelj Jezusa Kristusa, njim, ki so zadobili z nami enakovredno vero v pravici Boga našega in zveličarja Jezusa Kristusa;
SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Milost vam in mir naj se napolni v spoznanji Boga in Jezusa Gospoda našega.
grace unto you and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God, even Jesus our Lord,
3 Ker nam je Božja moč njegova vse za življenje in pobožnost podarila, po spoznanji njega, ki nas je poklical po slavi in kreposti,
as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude:
4 Po katerih so se nam podarile največje in dragocene obljube, da postanete po njih deležniki Božje narave, ter ubežite pogubi, ki je v poželenji na svetu;
whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.―
5 Ravno za to, prinesite sleherno pridnost, in pridodelite v veri svoji krepost, v kreposti pa spoznanje, v spoznanji pa zmernost,
And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence;
6 V zmernosti pa stanovitnost, v stanovitnosti pa pobožnost,
and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety;
7 V pobožnosti pa bratoljubje, v bratoljubji pa ljubezen.
and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love.
8 Kajti če je to pri vas in obilo, dela, da niste nedelavni in nerodovitni v spoznanje Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa;
For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Kdor namreč nima tega, on je slep, kratkoviden, in je pozabil očiščenja prejšnjih grehov svojih.
But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days.
10 Zato se, bratje, bolj trúdite, da utrdite poklic svoj in izvoljenje; kajti če tako delate, ne izpotaknete se nikdar.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble:
11 Kajti tako se vam bode obilo dovolil vhod v večno kraljestvo Gospoda našega in zveličarja Jezusa Kristusa. (aiōnios g166)
but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Zato ne bodem v nemar pustil, vedno opominjati vas tega, dasì veste in ste utrjeni v dani vam resnici.
Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Pravično pa se mi zdí, dokler sem v tej koči, zbujati vas v opominjanji;
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you:
14 Vedoč, da skoraj pride odloga koče moje, kakor mi je tudi Gospod naš Jezus Kristus naznanil.
knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.
15 Potrudil se pa bodem, da bodete imeli po mojem odhodu vedno spominjati se tega.
I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things.
16 Kajti ne držeč se izmišljenih basni, oznanili smo vam Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa moč in prihod, nego ker smo bili samovidne priče njegovega veličastva.
For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Kajti prejel je od Boga očeta čast in slavo, ko mu je prišel tak glas od veličastne slave: Ta je sin moj ljubljeni, kateri mi je po volji."
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 In ta glas smo mi slišali prihajoč z neba, ko smo bili z njim na sveti gori.
And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 In trdnejšo imamo besedo preroško, na katero po pravici pazite, kakor na svetilnico, ki sveti na temnem kraji, dokler dan ne prisije, in danica vzide v srcih vaših;
And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts.
20 To najprej spoznajoč, da nobeno prerokovanje pisma ni lastne razrešitve;
Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man’s own suggestions.
21 Kajti prerokovanje ni nikdar prišlo po volji človeški, nego od Duha svetega gnani so govorili sveti ljudje Božji.
For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.
