2 Peter 3
1 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
Mīļie, jau šo otru grāmatu es jums rakstu, kur caur atgādināšanu jūs pamodināju uz sirds skaidrību.
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
Ka jums būs pieminēt tos no tiem svētiem praviešiem papriekš sludinātos vārdus un Tā Kunga un Pestītāja pavēlēšanu no mums, tiem apustuļiem.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
Papriekš to ziniet, ka pēdīgās dienās nāks smējēji, staigādami pēc savām pašu kārībām,
4 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.”
Un sacīdami: kur ir Viņa atnākšanas apsolīšana? Jo no tā laika, kad tie tēvi ir aizmiguši, visas lietas paliek kā no radīšanas iesākuma.
5 For 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,
Jo tīši tie negrib zināt, ka vecos laikos debesis bijušas un zeme, no ūdens un iekš ūdens pastāvēdama caur Dieva vārdu;
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
Caur ko tā laika pasaule tapa maitāta ūdens plūdos.
7 But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Bet tās debesis, kas tagad ir un tā zeme caur Viņa vārdu ir glabātas un top ugunij paturētas uz to bezdievīgo cilvēku sodības un nomaitāšanas dienu.
8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Bet to jums būs zināt, mīļie, ka viena diena pie Tā Kunga ir kā tūkstoši gadi un tūkstoši gadi kā viena diena.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Tas Kungs nevilcina to apsolīšanu, kā kādiem šķiet, to esam vilcināšanu, bet Viņš ir lēnprātīgs pret mums, negribēdams, ka kāds pazūd, bet ka visi dodās uz atgriešanos no grēkiem.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, 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 that are in it will be burned up.
Bet Tā Kunga diena nāks kā zaglis naktī; tad debesis ar rūkšanu zudīs un tie pirmie pasaules sākumi no karstuma izkusīs, un zeme un tie darbi iekš tās sadegs.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Tad nu, ja viss tas izkūst, cik ļoti tad jums pienākas staigāt svētā dzīvošanā un dievbijāšanā,
12 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?
Gaidot un steidzoties uz tās Dieva dienas atnākšanu, kur debesis degdamas zudīs un tie pirmie pasaules sākumi no karstuma izkusīs.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Bet mēs gaidām pēc Viņa apsolīšanas jaunas debesis un jaunu zemi, kur taisnība mājo.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Tādēļ, mīļie, kad jūs šās lietas gaidāt, darbojaties, ka neapgānīti un bezvainīgi no Viņa topat atrasti iekš miera;
15 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,
Un turiet mūsu Kunga lēnprātību par glābšanu, tā kā arī mūsu mīļais brālis Pāvils jums ir rakstījis pēc tās gudrības, kas tam dota,
16 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.
Kā arī visās grāmatās, kur viņš par šīm lietām runā, no kurām citas grūti saprotamas, ko tie neizmācītie un nestiprinātie pārgroza, tā kā arī tos citus rakstus, sev pašiem par pazušanu.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
Tad nu jūs, mīļie, to papriekš zinādami, sargājaties, ka jūs caur to neganto cilvēku pievilšanu līdz novesti neizkrītat no sava stipruma.
The Great Flood
