2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted an equal faith with us in the justice of our God and in our Savior Jesus Christ.
Od Simona Petra, sluge i apostola Isusa Hrista, onima što su primili s nama jednu èasnu vjeru u pravdi Boga našega i spasa Isusa Hrista:
2 Grace to you. And may peace be fulfilled according to the plan of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord,
Blagodat i mir da vam se umnoži poznavanjem Boga i Hrista Isusa Gospoda našega.
3 in the same manner that all things which are for life and piety have been given to us by his Divine virtue, through the plan of him who has called us to our own glory and virtue.
Buduæi da su nam sve božanstvene sile njegove, koje trebaju k životu i pobožnosti, darovane poznanjem onoga koji nas pozva slavom i dobrodjetelju,
4 Through Christ, he has given us the greatest and most precious promises, so that by these things you may become sharers in the Divine Nature, fleeing from the corruption of that desire which is in the world.
Kroz koje se nama darovaše èasna i prevelika obeæanja, da njih radi imate dijel u Božijoj prirodi, ako uteèete od tjelesnijeh želja ovoga svijeta.
5 But as for you, taking up every concern, minister virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;
I na samo ovo okrenite sve staranje svoje da pokažete u vjeri svojoj dobrodjetelj, a u dobrodjetelji razum,
6 and in knowledge, moderation; and in moderation, patience; and in patience, piety;
A u razumu uzdržanje, a u uzdržanju trpljenje, a u trpljenju pobožnost,
7 and in piety, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
A u pobožnosti bratoljublje, a u bratoljublju ljubav.
8 For if these things are with you, and if they abound, they will cause you to be neither empty, nor without fruit, within the plan of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jer kad je ovo u vama, i množi se, neæe vas ostaviti lijene niti bez ploda u poznanju Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista.
9 For he who does not have these things at hand is blind and groping, being forgetful of his purification from his former offenses.
A ko nema ovoga slijep je, i pipa zaboravivši oèišæenje od starijeh svojijeh grijeha.
10 Because of this, brothers, be all the more diligent, so that by good works you may make certain your calling and election. For in doing these things, you do not sin at any time.
Zato, braæo, postarajte se još veæma da svoju službu i izbor utvrdite; jer èineæi ovo neæete pogriješiti nikad;
11 For in this way, you shall be provided abundantly with an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Jer vam se tako obilno dopusti ulazak u vjeèno carstvo Gospoda našega i spasa Isusa Hrista. (aiōnios g166)
12 For this reason, I will always begin to admonish you about these things, even though, certainly, you know them and are confirmed in the present truth.
Zato se neæu olijeniti opominjati vam jednako ovo, ako i znate i utvrðeni ste u ovoj istini;
13 But I consider it just, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up with admonishments.
Jer mislim da je pravo dokle sam god u ovom tijelu da vas budim opominjanjem,
14 For it is certain that the laying to rest of this, my tabernacle, is approaching swiftly, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has also indicated to me.
Znajuæi da æu skoro tijelo svoje odbaciti kao što mi kaza i Gospod naš Isus Hristos.
15 Therefore, I will present a work for you to have, so that, frequently after my passing, you may call to mind these things.
A trudiæu se svakojako da se i po rastanku mojemu možete opominjati ovoga;
16 For it was not by following fanciful doctrines that we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were made eyewitnesses of his greatness.
Jer vam ne pokazasmo sile i dolaska Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista po pripovijetkama mudro izmišljenijem, nego smo sami vidjeli slavu njegovu.
17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father, whose voice descended to him from the magnificent glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Jer on primi od Boga oca èast i slavu kad doðe k njemu takovi glas: ovo je sin moj ljubazni, koji je po mojoj volji.
18 We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
I ovaj glas mi èusmo gdje siðe s neba kad bijasmo s njim na svetoj gori.
19 And so, we have an even firmer prophetic word, to which you would do well to listen, as to a light shining within a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts.
I imamo najpouzdaniju proroèku rijeè, i dobro èinite što pazite na nju, kao na vidjelo koje svijetli u tamnome mjestu, dokle dan ne osvane i danica se ne rodi u srcima vašima.
20 Understand this first: that every prophecy of Scripture does not result from one’s own interpretation.
I ovo znajte najprije da nijedno proroštvo književno ne biva po svome kazivanju;
21 For prophecy was not conveyed by human will at any time. Instead, holy men were speaking about God while inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Jer nikad proroštvo ne bi od èovjeèije volje, nego nauèeni od svetoga Duha govoriše sveti Božiji ljudi.
