2 Peter 2
1 Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
А беше и лажних пророка у народу, као што ће и међу вама бити лажних учитеља, који ће унети јереси погибли, и одрицаће се Господара који их искупи и доводиће себи наглу погибао.
2 And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
И многи ће поћи за њиховим нечистотама којима ће се хулити на пут истине.
3 Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
И у лакомству ловиће вас измишљеним речима. Њихов суд одавно не доцни, и погибао њихова не дрема.
4 God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
Јер кад Бог не поштеде анђела који сагрешише, него их метну у окове мрака пакленог, и предаде да се чувају за суд; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
И први свет не поштеде, него сачувавши самосмога Ноја, проповедника правде, наведе потоп на свет безбожнички;
6 He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
И градове Содом и Гомор сажеже и развали и осуди, и постави углед безбожницима који би постали;
7 But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
И избави праведног Лота, кога осрамотише безаконици нечистотом живљења;
8 That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
Јер кад живљаше праведник међу њима, гледајући и слушајући безакона дела, мучаше од дана до дана праведну душу;
9 And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
Зна Господ побожне избављати од напасти, а неправеднике мучећи чувати за дан судни;
10 [He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
А особито оне који иду за телесним жељама нечистоте, и не маре за поглаварство, и који су безобразни и самовољни, и не дрхћу хулећи на славу.
11 In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
Кад анђели, који већу снагу и силу имају, не изговарају на њих пред Господом хулни суд;
12 Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
А они, као неразумна животиња, која је од природе на то створена да се хвата и коље, хуле на оно што не разумеју, и у погибли својој пропашће
13 God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
Примајући плату неправде. Они мисле да је сласт частити се сваки дан; они су срамота и грех, који се хране својим преварама, једући с вама;
14 They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
Имајући очи пуне прељубочинства и непрестаног греха; прелашћујући неутврђене душе; имају срце научено лакомству, деца клетве;
15 They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
Оставивши прави пут, зађоше, и иду путем Валаама Восоровог, коме омиле плата неправедна;
16 But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
Али би покаран за своје безакоње: скот неми проговоривши гласом човечијим забрани безумље пророково.
17 These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
Ово су безводни извори, и облаци и магле које прогоне ветрови, за које се чува мрак тамни вавек. (questioned)
18 By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
Јер говорећи поносите и лажљиве речи прелашћују на нечистоте телесних жеља оне који одскора беже од оних што живе у превари.
19 [The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
И обећавају им слободу, а сами су робови погибли; јер кога ко надвлада онај му и робује.
20 Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
Јер ако одбегну од нечистоте света познањем Господа и спаса нашег Исуса Христа, па се опет заплету у њих и буду надвладани, буде им последње горе од првог;
21 [Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
Јер им беше боље да не познаше пут правде, неголи кад познаше да се врате натраг од свете заповести која им је предана.
22 [The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
Јер им се догоди истинита приповест: пас се повраћа на своју бљувотину, и: свиња окупавши се, у каљужу.
