2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also in the nation, just as there will be false teachers among you, people who will secretly introduce ruinous divisions, disowning even the Lord who bought them, and bringing speedy ruin on themselves.
Vendar so bili lažni preroki tudi med ljudmi, točno tako bodo med vami lažni učitelji, ki bodo na skrivnem vnašali preklenska krivoverstva in celó tajili Gospoda, ki jih je odkupil ter si nase nakopali hiter propad.
2 There will be many, too, who will follow their licentious courses, and cause the way of the truth to be maligned.
In mnogi bodo sledili njihovim pogubnim potem; zaradi katerih se bo obrekovala pot resnice.
3 In their covetousness they will try to make you a source of profit by their fabrications; but for a long time past their sentence has not been standing idle, nor their ruin slumbering.
In zaradi pohlepnosti bodo s hlinjenimi besedami iz vas naredili trgovsko blago; katerih sodba se sedaj že dolgo ne obotavlja in njihovo prekletstvo ne dremlje.
4 Remember, God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them down to Tartarus, and consigned them to caverns of darkness, to be kept under guard for judgment. (Tartaroō g5020)
Kajti če Bog ni prizanesel angelom, ki so grešili, temveč jih je vrgel navzdol v pekel in jih izročil verigam teme, da bodo pridržani do sodbe, (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Nor did he spare the world of old; though he preserved Noah, the preacher of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought a flood on the godless world.
in ni prizanesel staremu svetu, temveč rešil Noeta, osmo osebo, oznanjevalca pravičnosti, ko je poslal potop na svet brezbožnih;
6 He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, holding them up as a warning to the godless of what was in store for them;
in spremenil mesti Sódome in Gomóre v pepel, ju je obsodil z uničenjem in ju naredil zgled tem, ki naj bi kasneje brezbožno živeli;
7 but he rescued righteous Lot, whose heart was vexed by the wanton licentiousness of his neighbors;
in osvobodil pravičnega Lota, prizadetega z umazanim razgovorom zlobnih;
8 for, seeing and hearing what he did, as he lived his righteous life among them, day after day, Lot’s righteous soul was tortured by their wicked doings.
(kajti ta pravičen mož je prebival med njimi in z videnjem in slišanjem iz dneva v dan z njihovimi nezakonitimi dejanji mučil svojo pravično dušo.)
9 The Lord, therefore, knows how to deliver the pious from temptation, and to keep the wicked, who are even now suffering punishment, in readiness for ‘the day of judgment’ –
Gospod ve kako bogaboječega osvoboditi iz preizkušenj in nepravične prihraniti za dan sodbe, da bodo kaznovani.
10 especially those who, following the promptings of their lower nature, indulge their polluting passions and despise all control. Audacious and self-willed, they feel no awe of the celestial beings, maligning them,
Toda predvsem te, ki hodijo za mesom v nečistosti poželenja in prezirajo vlado. Predrzni so, svojevoljni, ne bojijo se hudobno govoriti o dostojanstvih.
11 even where angels, though excelling them in strength and power, do not bring against them a malignant charge before the Lord.
Medtem ko angeli, ki so večji v moči in mogočnosti, pred Gospoda ne prinašajo posmehljivih obtožb zoper njih.
12 These people, however, like animals without reason, intended by nature to be caught and killed – these people, I say, malign those of whom they know nothing, and will assuredly perish through their own corruption,
Toda ti, kot naravne okrutne živali, narejene, da so ujete in uničene, govorijo hudobno o stvareh, ki jih ne razumejo; in v svoji lastni pokvarjenosti bodo popolnoma propadli;
13 suffering themselves, as the penalty for the suffering that they have inflicted. They think that pleasure consists in the self-indulgence of the moment. They are a stain and a disgrace, indulging, as they do, in their wanton revelry, even while joining you at your feasts.
in prejeli bodo nagrado nepravičnosti, kakor tisti, ki imajo za užitek razgrajanje podnevi. Madeži so in izvržki, ki se zabavajo s svojimi lastnimi zavajanji, medtem ko se gostijo z vami;
14 They have eyes only for adulteresses, eyes never tired of sin; they entice weak souls; their minds are trained to covet; they live under a curse.
ki imajo oči, polne zakonolomstva in ki ne morejo prenehati z grehom; ki zapeljujejo omahljive duše, srce pa so urili s pohlepnimi navadami; prekleti otroci;
15 Leaving the straight road, they have gone astray and followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who set his heart on the reward for wrongdoing,
ki so zapustili pravo pot in zašli ter sledili Beórjevemu sinu Bileámu, ki je vzljubil plačila nepravičnosti;
16 but was rebuked for his offense. A dumb animal spoke with a human voice, and checked the prophet’s madness.
toda za svojo krivičnost je bil oštet; nemi osel, govoreč s človeškim glasom, je preprečil prerokovo norost.
17 These people are like springs without water, or mists driven before a gale; and for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.
Ti so vodnjaki brez vode, oblaki, ki so nošeni z viharjem, ki jim je večno prihranjena zamegljena črnina. (questioned)
18 With boastful and foolish talk, they appeal to the passions of people’s lower nature, and, by their profligacy, entice those who are just escaping from the people who live such misguided lives.
Kajti ko govorijo velike, napihnjene besede ničevosti, privabljajo s poželenji mesa, skozi mnoge razuzdanosti te, ki so zares pobegnili pred temi, ki živijo v zmoti.
19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to corrupt habits; for a person is the slave of anything to which they give way.
Medtem ko jim obljubljajo svobodo, [pa] so oni sami služabniki izprijenosti. Kajti od česar je človek premagan, od istega je priveden v sužnost.
20 If, after having escaped the polluting influences of the world, through knowing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, people are again entangled in them, and give way to them, their last state has become worse than their first.
Kajti če so potem, ko so prek spoznanja Gospoda in Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa pobegnili umazanostim sveta, bili ponovno vpleteni vanje in premagani, je zadnji konec z njimi slabši kakor začetek.
21 It would, indeed, have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn away from the holy command delivered to them.
Kajti zanje bi bilo bolje, da ne bi spoznali poti pravičnosti, kakor pa, potem ko so jo spoznali, da se obrnejo od svete zapovedi, ki jim je bila izročena.
22 In their case is seen the truth of the proverb – ‘A dog returns to what it has vomited’ and ‘A sow after washing to her wallowing-place in the mud.’
Toda to se jim je zgodilo glede na resničen pregovor: ›Pes se ponovno obrne k svojemu lastnemu izbljuvku; in svinja, ki je bila umita, k svojemu valjanju v blatu.‹
