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 also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 In mnogo jih bode hodilo za njih pogubami, za katerih voljo se bode obrekovala pot resnice;
And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute.
3 In v lakomnosti vas bodo z izmišljenimi besedami prekanjali, katerim sodba že zdavnaj ne odlaša, in poguba njih ne spí.
Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been 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)
For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 In staremu svetu ni prizanesel, nego Noeta osmega ohranil za glasnika pravice,
And He did not spare the ancient world, although He preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly.
6 Ko je potop svetu brezbožnih poslal, in je mesti Sodom in Gomoro upepelivši v pogubljenje obsodil, zgled postavivši njim, ki bodo brezbožni,
He reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them to overthrow, making them an example to people who might in future be living godless lives.
7 In pravičnega Lota, trpečega od razuzdanega vedenja neukrotnih, je otél.
But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him.
8 (Kajti s pogledom in sluhom je pravični dan na dan pravično dušo mučil z nepostavnimi deli, prebivajoč med njimi);
(For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man--all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)
9 Gospod vé pobožne rešiti iz izkušnjave, krivične pa za dan sodbe hraniti v kaznovanje;
Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement,
10 Najbolj pa nje, ki hodijo za mesom v poželenji oskrumbe, in zaničujejo gospostvo. Predrzniki samopašni, ne bojé se preklinjati slave;
and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality--craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;
11 Kjer angeli, po kreposti in moči večji, ne izrekajo proti njim pred Gospodom preklinjajoče sodbe.
while angels, though greater than they in might and power, do not bring any insulting accusation against such in the presence of 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.
But these men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts) only to be captured or destroyed, are abusive in matters of which they are ignorant, and in their corruption will perish,
13 Oni, katerim se veselje zdí požrešnost po dnevi, madeži in sramote, razuzdano živeč v zmotah svojih in gosteč se z vami,
being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.
14 Oči imajoč polne prešestnice in brez pokoja v grehu; vabeč duše neutrjene, imajoč srce vajeno lakomnosti, prekletstva otroci,
Their very eyes are full of adultery--being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse!
15 Ki so zapustivši ravno pot tavali, hodili po poti Balaama sina Bosorjevega, kateri je ljubil krivice plačilo,
Forsaking the straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness.
16 A prejel lastne nepostavnosti posvarilo; brezglasno uprežno živinče, ki je izpregovorivši s človeškim glasom, zabranilo prerokovo nespamet.
But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet.
17 Ti so studenci brez vode, megle, ki jih goni vihar, katerim je hranjen mrak teme vekomaj. (questioned)
These people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense 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,
For, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings--every kind of immorality--as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who live in error.
19 Obetajoč jim svobodo, ko so sami hlapci pogube; kajti od kogar je kdo premagan, njegov je tudi hlapec postal.
And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight.
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.
For if, after escaping from the pollutions of the world through a full knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, people are once more entangled in these pollutions and are overcome, 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.
For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.
22 Prigodilo se jim je pa po resničnem pregovoru: "Pes, ki se je obrnil k lastni izbluvi," in "Svinja omita v lužo blatno."
Their case is that described in the true proverb, "A dog returns to what he has vomited," and also in the other proverb, "The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth."
