1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4
3 Beloved ones, this is now the second letter I am writing you in which, as in my first one, I am stirring up your clear thinking faculties by way of a reminder,+2 that you should remember the sayings previously spoken* by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles.3 First of all know this, that in the last days ridiculers will come with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires+4 and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his?+ Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as they were from creation’s beginning.”+5 For they deliberately ignore this fact, that long ago there were heavens and an earth standing firmly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God;+6 and that by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was flooded with water.+7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that now exist are reserved for fire and are being kept until the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly people.+8 However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah* as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.+9 Jehovah* is not slow concerning his promise,+ as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.+10 But Jehovah’s* day+ will come as a thief,+ in which the heavens will pass away+ with a roar,* but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be exposed.+11 Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, consider what sort of people you ought to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion,12 as you await and keep close in mind* the presence of the day of Jehovah,*+ through which the heavens will be destroyed+ in flames and the elements will melt in the intense heat!13 But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise,+ and in these righteousness is to dwell.+14 Therefore, beloved ones, since you are awaiting these things, do your utmost to be found finally by him spotless and unblemished and in peace.+15 Furthermore, consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you according to the wisdom given him,+16 speaking about these things as he does in all his letters. However, some things in them are hard to understand, and these things the ignorant* and unstable are twisting, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.17 You, therefore, beloved ones, having this advance knowledge, be on your guard so that you may not be led astray with them by the error of the lawless people and fall from your own steadfastness.*+18 No, but go on growing in the undeserved kindness and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
1.1 1.2
3 Ljubljeni, ovo je već drugo pismo koje vam pišem, u kojem, kao i u prvom,+ podsjećanjem budim vaš zdrav razum,+2 da se sjetite riječi koje su govorili sveti proroci+ i zapovijedi koju vam je Gospodin i Spasitelj dao preko vaših apostola.+3 Prije svega znajte ovo: u posljednjim će se danima+ pojaviti podrugljivci+ koji će se rugati, povoditi se za svojim željama+4 i govoriti:+ “Gdje je ta njegova obećana prisutnost?*+ Otkada su naši praoci pomrli,* sve stoji kao što je bilo od početka stvaranja.”+5 Jer namjerno previđaju da su davno postojala nebesa+ i da je zemlja stajala iznad vode+ i usred vode+ po riječi Božjoj.6 Njome je ondašnji svijet bio uništen kad je bio potopljen vodom.+7 A sadašnja nebesa+ i zemlja+ tom su istom riječju pohranjeni za vatru+ i čuvaju se do dana suda+ i uništenja bezbožnika.+8 Ali nemojte previdjeti ovo, ljubljeni: jedan je dan kod Jehove kao tisuću godina i tisuću godina kao jedan dan.+9 Jehova ne kasni s ispunjenjem svog obećanja,+ kao što neki misle da kasni, nego je strpljiv s vama jer ne želi da itko propadne, nego da svi dođu do pokajanja.*+10 A Jehovin dan+ doći će kao lopov.+ U taj će dan nebesa uz tutnjavu brzo proći+ i počela će se, užarena, raspasti,+ a zemlja+ i djela na njoj bit će razotkrivena.+11 Budući da se sve to tako treba raspasti, neka vaša djela budu sveta i neka se po njima vidi da ste odani Bogu,12 dok očekujete+ i imate na umu Jehovin dan,*+ kad će se nebesa, zapaljena, raspasti+ i počela, užarena, rastopiti.13 Ali po obećanju njegovu očekujemo nova nebesa+ i novu zemlju+ u kojima će prebivati pravednost.+14 Zato, ljubljeni, budući da to očekujete, dajte sve od sebe da vas on nađe neuprljane+ i neokaljane i u miru.+15 A strpljivost Gospodina našega smatrajte spasenjem, kao što vam je i naš ljubljeni brat Pavao po danoj mu mudrosti+ napisao,+16 govoreći o tome kao što to čini i u svim svojim pismima. No u njima ima teško razumljivih misli, koje neupućeni i nepostojani izvrću, kao što rade i s ostalim dijelovima Pisma,+ na vlastitu propast.17 Stoga vi, ljubljeni, budući da to unaprijed znate,+ čuvajte se da vas ti drski bezakonici ne odvuku svojom zabludom i da ne izgubite svoju postojanost.+18 A rastite u nezasluženoj dobroti i poznavanju našeg Gospodina i Spasitelja Isusa Krista.+ Njemu neka je slava i sada i u svu vječnost!+
