2 Peter 2 (SAR)

1Bilo je u narodu i lažnih proroka, kao što će i među vama biti lažnih učitelja, onih koji će prokrijumčariti pogubna krivovjerja, zanijekati Gospodina koji ih otkupi, i navući na se brzu propast.Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.

2I mnogi će se povesti za njihovim razvratnostima. Zbog njih će se kuditi put istine.Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.

3U svojoj će vas lakomosti kupovati izmišljotinama. Njihova osuda već odavna nije dokona i propast im ne drijema.In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.

4Doista, ako Bog anđela koji sagriješiše nije poštedio nego ih je sunovratio u Tartar i predao mračnom bezdanu da budu čuvani za sud;For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

5ako staroga svijeta ne poštedje, nego sačuva - osmoga - Nou, glasnika pravednosti, sručivši potop na svijet bezbožni;if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight;

6ako gradove Sodomu i Gomoru u pepeo pretvori, osudi i za primjer budućim bezbožnicima postavi;if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly;

7ako pravednog Lota, premorena razvratnim življenjem onih razularenika, oslobodi -and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless

8pravedniku se doista dan za danom duša razdirala dok je gledao i slušao bezakonička djela onih među kojima je boravio -(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—

9umije Gospod i pobožnike iz napasti izbaviti, a nepravednike za kaznu na Dan sudnji sačuvati,if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

10ponajpače one koji u prljavoj požudi idu za puti i preziru Veličanstvo. Preuzetnici, drznici i ne trepnu pogrđujući Slave,Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.

11dok anđeli, iako jakošću i snagom od njih veći, ne izriču protiv njih pred Gospodinom pogrdna suda.Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.

12Oni pak kao nerazumne životinje, po naravi rođene za lov i istrebljenje, pogrđuju što ne poznaju. Istim će istrebljenjem i oni biti istrebljeni;These men are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be captured and destroyed. They blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed.

13zadesit će ih nepravda, plaća nepravednosti. Užitkom smatraju razvratnost u pol bijela dana. Ljage i sramote! Naslađuju se prijevarama svojim dok se s vama goste.The harm they will suffer is the wages of their wickedness. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deception as they feast with you.

14Oči su im pune preljubnice, nikako da se nasite grijeha; mame duše nepostojane, srce im je uvježbano u lakomstvu, prokleti sinovi!Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.

15Zabludiše, napustivši ravan put, te pođoše putom Bosorova sina Bileama, koji prigrli plaću nepravednosti,They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.

16ali primi i ukor za svoje nedjelo: nijemo živinče ljudskim glasom prozbori i spriječi prorokovo bezumlje.But he was rebuked for his transgression by a donkey, otherwise without speech, that spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

17Oni su izvori bezvodni, oblaci vjetrom gonjeni; za njih se čuva mrkla tmina.These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.

18Naklapajući naduvene ispraznosti, požudama putenim, razvratnostima mame one što netom odbjegoše od onih koji žive u zabludi.With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.

19Obećavaju im slobodu, a sami su robovi pokvarenosti. Jer svatko robuje onomu tko ga svlada.They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.

20Doista, pošto su po spoznaji Gospodina našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista odbjegli od prljavština svijeta, ako se opet u njih upleću i daju se svladati, ovo im je potonje gore od onoga prvoga.If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.

21Bilo bi im doista bolje da nisu spoznali puta pravednosti, negoli, pošto ga spoznaše, okrenuti leđa svetoj zapovijedi koja im je predana.It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.

22Dogodilo im se što veli istinita izreka: “Pas se vraća svojoj bljuvotini i okupana svinja valjanju u blatu.”Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”
