2 Peter, 2
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be among you lying teachers, who will introduce divisions of perdition, and they will deny him who bought them, the Lord, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
1. Bilo je u narodu i lažnih proroka, kao što æe i meðu vama biti lažnih uèitelja, onih koji æe prokrijumèariti pogubna krivovjerja, zanijekati Gospodina koji ih otkupi, i navuæi na se brzu propast.
2. And many persons will follow their indulgences; through such persons, the way of truth will be blasphemed.
2. I mnogi æe se povesti za njihovim razvratnostima. Zbog njih æe se kuditi put istine.
3. And in avarice, they will negotiate about you with false words. Their judgment, in the near future, is not delayed, and their perdition does not sleep.
3. U svojoj æe vas lakomosti kupovati izmišljotinama. Njihova osuda veæ odavna nije dokona i propast im ne drijema.
4. For God did not spare those Angels who sinned, but instead delivered them, as if dragged down by infernal ropes, into the torments of the underworld, to be reserved unto judgment.
4. Doista, ako Bog anðela koji sagriješiše nije poštedio nego ih je sunovratio u Tartar i predao mraènom bezdanu da budu èuvani za sud;
5. And he did not spare the original world, but he preserved the eighth one, Noah, the herald of justice, bringing the flood upon the world of the impious.
5. ako staroga svijeta ne poštedje, nego saèuva - osmoga - Nou, glasnika pravednosti, sruèivši potop na svijet bezbožni;
6. And he reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemning them to be overthrown, setting them as an example to anyone who might act impiously.
6. ako gradove Sodomu i Gomoru u pepeo pretvori, osudi i za primjer buduæim bezbožnicima postavi;
7. And he rescued a just man, Lot, who was oppressed by the unjust and lewd behavior of the wicked.
7. ako pravednog Lota, premorena razvratnim življenjem onih razularenika, oslobodi -
8. For in seeing and in hearing, he was just, though he lived with those who, from day to day, crucified the just soul with works of iniquity.
8. pravedniku se doista dan za danom duša razdirala dok je gledao i slušao bezakonièka djela onih meðu kojima je boravio -
9. Thus, the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trials, and how to reserve the iniquitous for torments on the day of judgment;
9. umije Gospod i pobožnike iz napasti izbaviti, a nepravednike za kaznu na Dan sudnji saèuvati,
10. even more so, those who walk after the flesh in unclean desires, and who despise proper authority. Boldly pleasing themselves, they do not dread to introduce divisions by blaspheming;
10. ponajpaèe one koji u prljavoj požudi idu za puti i preziru Velièanstvo. Preuzetnici, drznici i ne trepnu pogrðujuæi Slave,
11. whereas the Angels, who are greater in strength and virtue, did not bring against themselves such a deplorable judgment.
11. dok anðeli, iako jakošæu i snagom od njih veæi, ne izrièu protiv njih pred Gospodinom pogrdna suda.
12. Yet truly, these others, like irrational beasts, naturally fall into traps and into ruin by blaspheming whatever they do not understand, and so they shall perish in their corruption,
12. Oni pak kao nerazumne životinje, po naravi roðene za lov i istrebljenje, pogrðuju što ne poznaju. Istim æe istrebljenjem i oni biti istrebljeni;
13. receiving the reward of injustice, the fruition of valuing the delights of the day: defilements and stains, overflowing with self-indulgences, taking pleasure in their feasts with you,
13. zadesit æe ih nepravda, plaæa nepravednosti. Užitkom smatraju razvratnost u pol bijela dana. Ljage i sramote! Naslaðuju se prijevarama svojim dok se s vama goste.
14. having eyes full of adultery and of incessant offenses, luring unstable souls, having a heart well-trained in avarice, sons of curses!
14. Oèi su im pune preljubnice, nikako da se nasite grijeha; mame duše nepostojane, srce im je uvježbano u lakomstvu, prokleti sinovi!
15. Abandoning the straight path, they wandered astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of iniquity.
15. Zabludiše, napustivši ravan put, te poðoše putom Bosorova sina Bileama, koji prigrli plaæu nepravednosti,
16. Yet truly, he had a correction of his madness: the mute animal under the yoke, which, by speaking with a human voice, forbid the folly of the prophet.
16. ali primi i ukor za svoje nedjelo: nijemo živinèe ljudskim glasom prozbori i sprijeèi prorokovo bezumlje.
17. These ones are like fountains without water, and like clouds stirred up by whirlwinds. For them, the mist of darkness is reserved.
17. Oni su izvori bezvodni, oblaci vjetrom gonjeni; za njih se èuva mrkla tmina.
18. For, speaking with the arrogance of vanity, they lure, by the desires of fleshly pleasures, those who are fleeing to some extent, who are being turned from error,
18. Naklapajuæi naduvene ispraznosti, požudama putenim, razvratnostima mame one što netom odbjegoše od onih koji žive u zabludi.
19. promising them freedoms, while they themselves are the servants of corruption. For by whatever a man is overcome, of this also is he the servant.
19. Obeæavaju im slobodu, a sami su robovi pokvarenosti. Jer svatko robuje onomu tko ga svlada.
20. For if, after taking refuge from the defilements of the world in the understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again become entangled and overcome by these things, then the latter state becomes worse than the former.
20. Doista, pošto su po spoznaji Gospodina našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista odbjegli od prljavština svijeta, ako se opet u njih upleæu i daju se svladati, ovo im je potonje gore od onoga prvoga.
21. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of justice than, after acknowledging it, to turn away from that holy commandment which was handed on to them.
21. Bilo bi im doista bolje da nisu spoznali puta pravednosti, negoli, pošto ga spoznaše, okrenuti leða svetoj zapovijedi koja im je predana.
22. For the truth of the proverb has happened to them: The dog has returned to his own vomit, and the washed sow has returned to her wallowing in the mud.
22. Dogodilo im se što veli istinita izreka: "Pas se vraæa svojoj bljuvotini i okupana svinja valjanju u blatu."
