II Peter 1

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

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

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

Punina vam milosti i mira po spoznaji Boga i Isusa, Gospodina našega!

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

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

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Time smo obdareni dragocjenim, najvećim obećanjima da po njima postanete zajedničari božanske naravi umakavši pokvarenosti koja je u svijetu zbog požude.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

Zbog toga svim marom prionite: vjerom osigurajte krepost, krepošću spoznaje,

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

spoznanjem uzdržljivost, uzdržljivošću postojanost, postojanošću pobožnost,

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

pobožnošću bratoljublje, bratoljubljem ljubav.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

A tko toga nema, slijep je, kratkovidan; zaboravio je da je očišćen od svojih prijašnjih grijeha.

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Zato, braćo, to revnije uznastojte učvrstiti svoj poziv i izabranje: to čineći - ne, nećete posrnuti nikada!

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Tako će vam se bogato osigurati ulazak u vječno kraljevstvo Gospodina našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista.

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

Zato ću vas uvijek na to podsjećati premda to znate i utvrđeni ste u primljenoj istini.

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

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

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

svjestan da ću brzo napustiti svoj šator, kako mi i Gospodin naš Isus Krist očitova.

Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

A pobrinut ću se da se i nakon mojeg izlaska uvijek toga sjećate.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Ta nismo vam navijestili snagu i Dolazak Gospodina našega Isusa Krista slijedeći izmudrene priče, nego kao očevici njegova veličanstva.

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

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

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

Taj glas, koji s neba dopiraše, čusmo mi koji bijasmo s njime na Svetoj gori.

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Tako nam je potvrđena proročka riječ te dobro činite što uza nju prianjate kao uza svjetiljku što svijetli na mrklu mjestu - dok Dan ne osvane i Danica se ne pomoli u srcima vašim.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Ponajprije znajte ovo: nijedno se proroštvo Pisma ne može tumačiti samovoljno

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

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