2 Peter 1
1 To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Savior Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
Simon Peter, služabnik in apostol Jezusa Kristusa tem, ki so z nami po Božji pravičnosti in našem Odrešeniku Jezusu Kristusu dosegli podobno dragoceno vero:
2 May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
›Milost in mir naj se vam pomnožita prek spoznanja Boga in Jezusa, našega Gospoda,
3 For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
glede na to, kot nam je njegova božanska moč dala vse stvari, ki se nanašajo na življenje in bogaboječnost, prek spoznanja tistega, ki nas je poklical v slavo in moč;
4 For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
po katerih so nam dane silno velike in dragocene obljube, da bi bili po teh lahko soudeleženci božanske narave, ko smo pobegnili propadljivosti, ki je na svetu prek poželenja.‹
5 Yes, and for this reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
In poleg tega darujte vso marljivost, dodajte svoji veri krepost, in kreposti spoznanje,
6 knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
in spoznanju zmernost, in zmernosti potrpežljivost, in potrpežljivosti bogaboječnost,
7 piety by mutual affection, and mutual affection by love.
in bogaboječnosti bratsko prijaznost, in bratski prijaznosti ljubezen.
8 For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kajti če so te stvari v vas in [so] obilne, vas naredijo, da ne boste niti jalovi niti brez sadu v spoznanju našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
9 Surely the person who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that they have been purified from their sins of the past!
Toda komur te stvari primanjkujejo, je slep in kratkoviden in je pozabil, da je bil očiščen od svojih starih grehov.
10 Therefore, friends, do your best to put God’s call and selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
Bratje, zatorej si raje prizadevajte, da storite svojo poklicanost in izvoljenost zanesljivo; kajti če te stvari počnete, nikoli ne boste padli,
11 For in this way you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
kajti tako vam bo razkošno odprt vstop v večno kraljestvo našega Gospoda in Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa. (aiōnios g166)
12 I will, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the truth that you now hold.
Zato ne bom nemaren, da vas ne bi vedno opominjal o teh stvareh, čeprav jih veste in ste utrjeni v pričujoči resnici.
13 But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this ‘tent,’ to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
Da, mislim, da je primerno, dokler sem v tem šotoru, da vas razvnamem s tem, da vas spomnim,
14 for I know that the time for this ‘tent’ of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
vedoč, da bom moral v kratkem odložiti ta svoj šotor, kakor mi je pokazal naš Gospod Jezus Kristus.
15 So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
Poleg tega si bom prizadeval, da boste po mojem odhodu [s sveta] lahko imeli te stvari vedno v spominu.
16 For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.
Kajti ko smo vam dali spoznati moč in prihod našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, nismo sledili pretkano izmišljenim bajkam, ampak smo bili očividci njegovega veličanstva.
17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father, when from the glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these – ‘This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy.’
Kajti od Boga Očeta je prejel čast in slavo, ko je iz odlične slave k njemu prišel takšen glas: »Ta je moj ljubljeni Sin, v katerem sem zelo zadovoljen.«
18 These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from heaven, when we were with him on that sacred mountain.
In ta glas, ki je prišel z neba, smo slišali, ko smo bili z njim na sveti gori.
19 And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Imamo tudi zanesljivejšo preroško besedo; zato pravilno delate, da pazite nanjo kakor na svetilko, ki sije na temnem kraju, dokler ne zasveti zora in v vaših srcih ne vzide zvezda danica;
20 But first be assured of this: There is no prophetic teaching found in scripture that can be interpreted by a person’s unaided reason;
vedoč najprej to, da nobena prerokba iz pisem ni iz kakršnekoli osebne razlage.
21 for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of people, but people, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
Kajti prerokba v starih časih ni prišla s človeško voljo, temveč so sveti Božji možje govorili, kakor bi bili spodbujeni s Svetim Duhom.
