¹This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

¹To pa vedi, da v zadnjih dneh nastanejo nevarni časi.

²For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

²Kajti ljudje bodo samoljubni, lakomni, širokoustni, prevzetni, opravljivi, roditeljem nepokorni, nehvaležni, nesveti,

³Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

³brezsrčni, nespravljivi, obrekljivi, nezmerni, surovi, nedobroljubni,

⁴Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

⁴izdajalci, vrtoglavi, napihnjeni, veselje bolj ljubeči nego Boga,

⁵Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

⁵ki sicer hranijo podobo pobožnosti, njeno moč pa so zatajili; in teh se ogiblji.

⁶For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

⁶Izmed teh namreč so tisti, ki se plazijo v hiše in love ženščine, obložene z grehi, katere goni mnogotero poželenje,

⁷Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁷ki se vedno uče in nikdar ne morejo priti do spoznanja resnice.

⁸Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

⁸Enako pa, kakor sta se Janez in Jambrez upirala Mojzesu, tako se tudi ti upirajo resnici, ljudje popačeni na umu, malopridni za vero.

⁹But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

⁹Ali dalje ne bodo napredovali: zakaj njih nespamet bode vsem očita, kakor je bila tudi onih dveh.

¹⁰But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

¹⁰Ti pa si hodil za menoj v nauku, vedenju, mišljenju, veri, prizanesljivosti, ljubezni, stanovitnosti,

¹¹Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

¹¹preganjanju, trpljenju, kakršno me je zadelo v Antiohiji, v Ikoniji, v Listri. Kakšna preganjanja sem prebil, in iz vseh me je otel Gospod!

¹²Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

¹²Pa tudi vsi, ki hočejo pobožno živeti v Kristusu Jezusu, bodo preganjani.

¹³But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

¹³Hudobni ljudje pa in sleparji bodo napredovali v slabem, varali bodo in bodo varani.

¹⁴But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

¹⁴Ti pa ostani v tem, česar si se naučil in o čemer si se prepričal, ker veš, od koga si se učil,

¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵in ker od mladih nog znaš sveta pisma, ki so te zmožna zmodriti za zveličanje po veri, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu.

¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

¹⁶Vsako pismo je od Boga navdihnjeno in koristno za pouk, za prepričanje, za poboljšanje, za vzgojo v pravičnosti,da bode popoln človek Božji, docela pripraven za vsako dobro delo.

¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

¹⁷da bode popoln človek Božji, docela pripraven za vsako dobro delo.
