2 Peter 3
1 This letter that I am now writing to you whom I love, is the second [letter] that I have written to you. [In both] these letters I have reminded you [about the things you already know, in order that I may] stimulate/cause you to think sincerely [about those things].
Ljubljeni, sedaj vam pišem torej to drugo poslanico; v katerih obeh sem vaše čiste ume razvnel z načinom spominjanja,
2 [I want you] to remember the words that were spoken by the holy prophets {that the holy prophets spoke} long ago, and also to remember what our Lord and Savior commanded, things that we, your apostles, told you about.
da boste lahko razmišljali o besedah, ki so bile prej izgovorjene po svetih prerokih in o zapovedi od nas, apostolov Gospoda in Odrešenika.
3 It is important for you to understand that in the time [immediately] before Christ comes back, there will be people who will ridicule [the idea of his coming back. Those people will do whatever] evil things they wish to do.
Vedite najprej to, da bodo v poslednjih dneh prišli porogljivci, ki bodo hodili za svojimi lastnimi poželenji
4 They will say, “[Although it was] promised [that Christ] will come back, ([nothing has happened that would indicate] that he is coming back./[what happened to the promise] that he is coming back?) [RHQ] We say that because ever since the [Christian] leaders [who lived] long ago died [EUP], everything [has remained the same]. Things are as [they always have been] since God created [the world!]”
ter govorili: »Kje je obljuba njegovega prihoda? Kajti odkar so očetje zaspali, se vse stvari nadaljujejo, kakor so bile od začetka stvarstva.«
5 [They will say that because] they (deliberately overlook [the fact/have decided to ignore what they know]) that God, by commanding [long ago that it should be so], caused the heavens to exist, and he caused the earth to appear out of water and to be separate from the water.
Kajti oni tega nočejo spoznati, da je bilo po Božji besedi nebo od davnine in [da] zemlja sestoji iz vode in v vodi.
6 And God, by [commanding that it should be so], later destroyed the world [that existed] at that time, by causing the earth to be flooded with water {water to flood the earth}.
S čimer je bil svet, ki je bil takrat, preplavljen z vodo, uničen.
7 Furthermore, [God], commanded that the heavens and the earth [that exist] now remain until the time when [he] will judge (ungodly people/people whose lives are not pleasing to him). And at that time [he] will destroy the heavens and the earth by burning them.
Toda nebo in zemlja, ki sta sedaj, sta po isti besedi držana v rezervi, prihranjena ognju za dan sodbe in pogube brezbožnih ljudi.
8 Dear friends, I want you to understand well that the Lord [God is willing to wait a long time to judge the people in the world! How much time passes before] the Lord God [judges the people in the world does not matter to him! He considers] that one day [passes no more quickly than] 1,000 years, and [he also considers] that 1,000 years [pass as quickly as] one day passes [to us]!
Toda ljubljeni, ne bodite nevedni o tej eni stvari, da je en dan z Gospodom kakor tisoč let in tisoč let kakor en dan.
9 [Therefore, you should not think that because Christ has not yet come back to judge people], the Lord God is (delaying/slow to do) what he promised. Some people think that this is so, [and they say that Christ will never come back]. But [you should understand that the reason why Christ has not yet come back to judge people is that] God is being patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be lost [eternally]. Instead, he wants everyone to turn away from their sinful behavior.
Gospod ni počasen glede svoje obljube, kakor nekateri ljudje razumejo počasnost, temveč je do nas potrpežljiv, ne voljan, da bi se kdorkoli pogubil, temveč da bi vsi prišli do kesanja.
10 Although [God is being patient, at] the time [MTY] [that he has chosen], the Lord [Jesus Christ] will [certainly] come back [to judge people]. He will come back [unexpectedly], like a thief [SIM] [comes unexpectedly]. At that time there will be a great roaring sound. The heavens will cease to exist. (The elements/The parts [of which the universe consists]) will be destroyed by fire, and the earth [that God made] and everything on it [that people have made] will disappear (OR, will be burned up).
Toda Gospodov dan bo prišel kakor tat v noči; v kateri bo nebo preminilo z velikim hrupom in prvine se bodo stopile z gorečo vročino; tudi zemlja in dela, ki so na njej, bodo sežgana.
11 Because God will certainly destroy all these things like [I just said], you certainly know how you should behave. [RHQ] You should behave (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God])
Ker se bodo torej vse te stvari raztopile, kakšna vrsta oseb morate biti v vsem svetem vedênju in bogaboječnosti,
12 while you [eagerly/expectantly] wait for [Christ] to return on the day that God [has chosen] [MTY], and you should try to make that day come soon. Because of what [God] [PRS] [will do on that day], the heavens will be destroyed. (The elements/The parts of which the universe consist) will melt and burn up.
da pričakujete in hitite k prihajanju Božjega dne, ko se bo nebo goreče stopilo in se bodo prvine stopile z gorečo vročino?
13 Although [all those events/things will happen, we rejoice because] we are waiting for the new heavens and new earth that [God] has promised. The [only people who will be] in the new heavens and on this new earth will be [people who are] [PRS] righteous.
Kljub temu pa mi, glede na njegovo obljubo, pričakujemo novo nebo in novo zemljo, kjer prebiva pravičnost.
14 Therefore, dear friends, because you are waiting for these things [to happen], do all that you can [live] (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), [in order that Christ] will see that you [are] completely pure [DOU] [and that you are living] peacefully [with each other].
Torej, ljubljeni, glede na to, da pričakujete takšne stvari, si prizadevajte, da vas bo lahko našel v miru, brez madeža in brez krivde.
15 And think about this: Our Lord [Jesus Christ is] patient [because he wants] people to be saved. Our dear (brother/fellow believer) Paul also wrote wise words to you [about these same matters], because God enabled him to understand [these] ([events/things that will happen]).
In upoštevajte, da je potrpežljivost našega Gospoda rešitev duš; kakor vam je napisal tudi naš ljubljeni brat Pavel, glede na modrost, ki mu je bila dana;
16 In the [letters] that Paul wrote there are certain things that are difficult for people to understand. People [who are spiritually] ignorant and (unstable/do not believe firmly in Christ) interpret these things wrongly, as they also (interpret/explain the meaning of) the other parts of the Scriptures wrongly. The result is that they will destroy themselves [spiritually], and [God] will punish them.
kakor je tudi v vseh njegovih poslanicah, kjer v njih govori o teh stvareh; v katerih so nekatere stvari težke za razumevanje, ki jih tisti, ki so nepoučeni in omahljivi, pačijo, kakor počno tudi drugim pismom, v svoje lastno uničenje.
17 Therefore, dear friends, [since you already know about those who teach what is false], (guard against them/beware). Do not let those wicked people deceive you by telling you things that are wrong, with the result that you yourselves begin to doubt [what you now firmly believe].
Vi torej, ljubljeni, glede na to, da vidim, da poprej poznate te stvari, se varujte, da ne bi tudi vi, zavedeni z zmoto zlobnih, odpadli od svoje lastne neomajnosti.
18 [Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn g165)
Temveč rastite v milosti in v spoznanju našega Gospoda in Odrešenika Jezusa Kristusa. Njemu bodi slava tako sedaj in na veke. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
