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.

1. Šimun Petar, sluga i apostol Isusa Krista, onima koje pravednošæu Boga našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista zapade ista dragocjena vjera kao i nas.

2. Grace to you. And may peace be fulfilled according to the plan of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord,

2. Punina vam milosti i mira po spoznaji Boga i Isusa, Gospodina 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.

3. Doista, po spoznaji njega, koji nas pozva slavom svojom i krepošæu, božanska nas je snaga njegova obdarila svime za život i pobožnost.

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.

4. Time smo obdareni dragocjenim, najveæim obeæanjima da po njima postanete zajednièari božanske naravi umakavši pokvarenosti koja je u svijetu zbog požude.

5. But as for you, taking up every concern, minister virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;

5. Zbog toga svim marom prionite: vjerom osigurajte krepost, krepošæu spoznaje,

6. and in knowledge, moderation; and in moderation, patience; and in patience, piety;

6. spoznanjem uzdržljivost, uzdržljivošæu postojanost, postojanošæu pobožnost,

7. and in piety, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.

7. pobožnošæu bratoljublje, bratoljubljem 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.

8. Jer ako to imate i u tom napredujete, neæete biti besposleni i neplodni za spoznanje Isusa Krista.

9. For he who does not have these things at hand is blind and groping, being forgetful of his purification from his former offenses.

9. A tko toga nema, slijep je, kratkovidan; zaboravio je da je oèišæen od svojih prijašnjih 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.

10. Zato, braæo, to revnije uznastojte uèvrstiti svoj poziv i izabranje: to èineæi - ne, neæete posrnuti nikada!

11. For in this way, you shall be provided abundantly with an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

11. Tako æe vam se bogato osigurati ulazak u vjeèno kraljevstvo Gospodina našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista.

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.

12. Zato æu vas uvijek na to podsjeæati premda to znate i utvrðeni ste u primljenoj istini.

13. But I consider it just, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up with admonishments.

13. Pravo je, mislim, da vas dok sam u ovom šatoru, budim opomenom,

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.

14. svjestan da æu brzo napustiti svoj šator, kako mi i Gospodin naš Isus Krist oèitova.

15. Therefore, I will present a work for you to have, so that, frequently after my passing, you may call to mind these things.

15. A pobrinut æu se da se i nakon mojeg izlaska uvijek toga sjeæate.

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.

16. Ta nismo vam navijestili snagu i Dolazak Gospodina našega Isusa Krista slijedeæi izmudrene prièe, nego kao oèevici njegova velièanstva.

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.”

17. Od Oca je doista primio èast i slavu kad mu ono od uzvišene Slave doprije ovaj glas: Ovo je Sin moj, Ljubljeni moj, u njemu mi sva milina!

18. We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

18. Taj glas, koji s neba dopiraše, èusmo mi koji bijasmo s njime 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.

19. Tako nam je potvrðena proroèka rijeè te dobro èinite što uza nju prianjate kao uza svjetiljku što svijetli na mrklu mjestu - dok Dan ne osvane i Danica se ne pomoli u srcima vašim.

20. Understand this first: that every prophecy of Scripture does not result from one’s own interpretation.

20. Ponajprije znajte ovo: nijedno se proroštvo Pisma ne može tumaèiti samovoljno

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.

21. jer nikada proroštvo ne bi ljudskom voljom doneseno, nego su Duhom Svetim poneseni ljudi od Boga govorili.
