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;
To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Savior Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
2 Milost vam in mir naj se napolni v spoznanji Boga in Jezusa Gospoda našega.
May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of 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,
For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
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;
For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
5 Ravno za to, prinesite sleherno pridnost, in pridodelite v veri svoji krepost, v kreposti pa spoznanje, v spoznanji pa zmernost,
Yes, and for this reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
6 V zmernosti pa stanovitnost, v stanovitnosti pa pobožnost,
knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
7 V pobožnosti pa bratoljubje, v bratoljubji pa ljubezen.
piety by mutual affection, and mutual affection by love.
8 Kajti če je to pri vas in obilo, dela, da niste nedelavni in nerodovitni v spoznanje Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa;
For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Kdor namreč nima tega, on je slep, kratkoviden, in je pozabil očiščenja prejšnjih grehov svojih.
Surely the person who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that they have been purified from their sins of the past!
10 Zato se, bratje, bolj trúdite, da utrdite poklic svoj in izvoljenje; kajti če tako delate, ne izpotaknete se nikdar.
Therefore, friends, do your best to put God’s call and selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
11 Kajti tako se vam bode obilo dovolil vhod v večno kraljestvo Gospoda našega in zveličarja Jezusa Kristusa. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Zato ne bodem v nemar pustil, vedno opominjati vas tega, dasì veste in ste utrjeni v dani vam resnici.
I will, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the truth that you now hold.
13 Pravično pa se mi zdí, dokler sem v tej koči, zbujati vas v opominjanji;
But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this ‘tent,’ to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
14 Vedoč, da skoraj pride odloga koče moje, kakor mi je tudi Gospod naš Jezus Kristus naznanil.
for I know that the time for this ‘tent’ of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
15 Potrudil se pa bodem, da bodete imeli po mojem odhodu vedno spominjati se tega.
So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
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 were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been 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 honor and glory from God the Father, when from the glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these – ‘This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy.’
18 In ta glas smo mi slišali prihajoč z neba, ko smo bili z njim na sveti gori.
These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from heaven, when we were with him on that sacred 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 still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 To najprej spoznajoč, da nobeno prerokovanje pisma ni lastne razrešitve;
But first be assured of this: There is no prophetic teaching found in scripture that can be interpreted by a person’s unaided reason;
21 Kajti prerokovanje ni nikdar prišlo po volji človeški, nego od Duha svetega gnani so govorili sveti ljudje Božji.
for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of people, but people, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
