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
Tu vam, ljubljeni, pišem že drugi list, v obéh zbujam v opominu vaš čisti razum;
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,
Da se spominjate prej govorjenih besed svetih prerokov, in nas aposteljnov zapovedi Gospoda in zveličarja;
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
To najprej vedóč, da pridejo v zadnjih dnevih posmehovalci, hodeči po lastnih svojih poželenjih,
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.”
In govoreči: Kje je obljuba prihoda njegovega? Kajti odkar so legli očetje, vse ostane tako od stvarjenja začetka.
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,
Kajti hotoma ne vedó tega, da so bila od nekdaj nebesa in zemlja, ki je postala iz vode in z vodo, po besedi Božji;
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
Po katerih je tedanji svet poginil z vodo potopljen;
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.
Sedanja nebesa pa in zemlja shranjena so z isto besedo, ognju hranjena za dan sodbe in pogube brezbožnih ljudî.
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.
To eno pa vam ne bodi skrito, ljubljeni, da je en dan pred Gospodom kakor tisoč let, in tisoč let kakor en dan.
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.
Gospod ne odlaša z obljubo, kar neki imajo za odlašanje; nego potrpežljiv je z nami, ker noče, da se pogubé neki, nego da vsi pridejo do pokore.
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.
Prišel pa bode dan Gospodov kakor tat po noči, v katerem preidejo nebesa z ropotom, in prvine, razpadejo goreč, in zemlja in dela na nji zgoré.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Ko torej vse to razpada, koliki morate biti v svetem vedenji in pobožnosti,
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?
Čakajoč in hrepeneč po prihodu dneva Gospodovega, po katerem nebesa razpadejo v ognji, in se prvine goreč raztopé?
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Novih pa nebes in zemlje nove pričakujemo po obljubi njegovi, v katerih prebiva pravica.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Zato, ljubljeni, tega čakajoč, trudite se, da bodete brez madeža in brez hibe najdeni v miru pred njim;
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,
In potrpežljivost Gospoda našega imejte za blaginjo; kakor vam je tudi ljubljeni brat naš Pavel pisal po dani mu modrosti;
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.
Kakor tudi v vseh listih, govoreč v njih o tem; v katerih je nekaj težko razumljivega, kar nevedni in neutrjeni zavijajo, kakor tudi ostala pisma, v lastno pogubo svojo.
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.
Vi torej, ljubljeni, ki to naprej veste, pazite, da vas pregrešnih zmota za seboj ne potegne in ne padete iz lastnega trdega stanja;
The Great Flood
