2 Peter 2
1 Bili so pa tudi lažipreroki v ljudstvu, kakor bodo tudi med vami lažiučitelji, kateri bodo zraven vpeljavali pogubne razkole in zatajevali Gospoda, ki jih je odkupil, pripravljajoč si naglo pogubo;
But there were false prophets also in the nation, just as there will be false teachers among you, people who will secretly introduce ruinous divisions, disowning even the Lord who bought them, and bringing speedy ruin on themselves.
2 In mnogo jih bode hodilo za njih pogubami, za katerih voljo se bode obrekovala pot resnice;
There will be many, too, who will follow their licentious courses, and cause the way of the truth to be maligned.
3 In v lakomnosti vas bodo z izmišljenimi besedami prekanjali, katerim sodba že zdavnaj ne odlaša, in poguba njih ne spí.
In their covetousness they will try to make you a source of profit by their fabrications; but for a long time past their sentence has not been standing idle, nor their ruin slumbering.
4 Kajti Bog ni prizanesel angelom, ki so grešili, temuč jih z verigami temé v pekel pahnil in hraniti jih dal v sodbo. (Tartaroō g5020)
Remember, God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them down to Tartarus, and consigned them to caverns of darkness, to be kept under guard for judgment. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 In staremu svetu ni prizanesel, nego Noeta osmega ohranil za glasnika pravice,
Nor did he spare the world of old; though he preserved Noah, the preacher of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought a flood on the godless world.
6 Ko je potop svetu brezbožnih poslal, in je mesti Sodom in Gomoro upepelivši v pogubljenje obsodil, zgled postavivši njim, ki bodo brezbožni,
He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, holding them up as a warning to the godless of what was in store for them;
7 In pravičnega Lota, trpečega od razuzdanega vedenja neukrotnih, je otél.
but he rescued righteous Lot, whose heart was vexed by the wanton licentiousness of his neighbors;
8 (Kajti s pogledom in sluhom je pravični dan na dan pravično dušo mučil z nepostavnimi deli, prebivajoč med njimi);
for, seeing and hearing what he did, as he lived his righteous life among them, day after day, Lot’s righteous soul was tortured by their wicked doings.
9 Gospod vé pobožne rešiti iz izkušnjave, krivične pa za dan sodbe hraniti v kaznovanje;
The Lord, therefore, knows how to deliver the pious from temptation, and to keep the wicked, who are even now suffering punishment, in readiness for ‘the day of judgment’ –
10 Najbolj pa nje, ki hodijo za mesom v poželenji oskrumbe, in zaničujejo gospostvo. Predrzniki samopašni, ne bojé se preklinjati slave;
especially those who, following the promptings of their lower nature, indulge their polluting passions and despise all control. Audacious and self-willed, they feel no awe of the celestial beings, maligning them,
11 Kjer angeli, po kreposti in moči večji, ne izrekajo proti njim pred Gospodom preklinjajoče sodbe.
even where angels, though excelling them in strength and power, do not bring against them a malignant charge before the Lord.
12 Ti pa, kakor nespametne živali telesne stvarjene v lov in klanje, v tem, česar ne poznajo, preklinjajoč, bodo se pogubili v pogubi svoji, prejemši krivice plačilo.
These people, however, like animals without reason, intended by nature to be caught and killed – these people, I say, malign those of whom they know nothing, and will assuredly perish through their own corruption,
13 Oni, katerim se veselje zdí požrešnost po dnevi, madeži in sramote, razuzdano živeč v zmotah svojih in gosteč se z vami,
suffering themselves, as the penalty for the suffering that they have inflicted. They think that pleasure consists in the self-indulgence of the moment. They are a stain and a disgrace, indulging, as they do, in their wanton revelry, even while joining you at your feasts.
14 Oči imajoč polne prešestnice in brez pokoja v grehu; vabeč duše neutrjene, imajoč srce vajeno lakomnosti, prekletstva otroci,
They have eyes only for adulteresses, eyes never tired of sin; they entice weak souls; their minds are trained to covet; they live under a curse.
15 Ki so zapustivši ravno pot tavali, hodili po poti Balaama sina Bosorjevega, kateri je ljubil krivice plačilo,
Leaving the straight road, they have gone astray and followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who set his heart on the reward for wrongdoing,
16 A prejel lastne nepostavnosti posvarilo; brezglasno uprežno živinče, ki je izpregovorivši s človeškim glasom, zabranilo prerokovo nespamet.
but was rebuked for his offense. A dumb animal spoke with a human voice, and checked the prophet’s madness.
17 Ti so studenci brez vode, megle, ki jih goni vihar, katerim je hranjen mrak teme vekomaj. (questioned)
These people are like springs without water, or mists driven before a gale; and for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.
18 Kajti prazno zabuhlost govoreč vabijo v poželjivostih mesa, v razuzdanosti nje, kateri so v resnici ubežali njim, ki hodijo po zmotnjavi,
With boastful and foolish talk, they appeal to the passions of people’s lower nature, and, by their profligacy, entice those who are just escaping from the people who live such misguided lives.
19 Obetajoč jim svobodo, ko so sami hlapci pogube; kajti od kogar je kdo premagan, njegov je tudi hlapec postal.
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to corrupt habits; for a person is the slave of anything to which they give way.
20 Kajti če se taki, ki so ubežali oskrumbam sveta v spoznanji Gospoda in zveličarja Jezusa Kristusa, zopet zapletó vanje in so premagani, zgodilo se jim je zadnje hujše od prvega.
If, after having escaped the polluting influences of the world, through knowing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, people are again entangled in them, and give way to them, their last state has become worse than their first.
21 Kajti bolje jim je bilo, da bi ne bili spoznali pota pravice, nego spoznavši obrniti se zopet od dane jim svete zapovedi.
It would, indeed, have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn away from the holy command delivered to them.
22 Prigodilo se jim je pa po resničnem pregovoru: "Pes, ki se je obrnil k lastni izbluvi," in "Svinja omita v lužo blatno."
In their case is seen the truth of the proverb – ‘A dog returns to what it has vomited’ and ‘A sow after washing to her wallowing-place in the mud.’
