2 بطرس 1

١ 1 مِنْ سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ، عَبْدِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَرَسُولِهِ، إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُشَارِكُونَنَا فِي الإِيمَانِ الْوَاحِدِ الثَّمِينِ الَّذِي نَتَسَاوَى جَمِيعاً فِي الْحُصُولِ عَلَيْهِ بِبِرِّ إِلَهِنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

Shimon Kipha, a servant and apostle of Yeshua Meshikha, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Yeshua Meshikha:

٢ 2 لِيَكُنْ لَكُمُ الْمَزِيدُ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ وَالسَّلامِ بِفَضْلِ مَعْرِفَةِ اللهِ وَيَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا!

Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua our Lord,

٣ 3 إِنَّ اللهَ، بِقُدْرَتِهِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ، قَدْ زَوَّدَنَا بِكُلِّ مَا نَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الرُّوحِيَّةِ الْمُتَّصِفَةِ بِالتَّقْوَى. ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ عَرَّفَنَا بِالْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي دَعَانَا إِلَى مَجْدِهِ وَفَضِيلَتِهِ،

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;

٤ 4 اللَّذَيْنِ بِهِمَا أَعْطَانَا اللهُ بَرَكَاتِهِ الْعُظْمَى الثَّمِينَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ وَعَدَ بِها. وَبِهَذَا صَارَ بِإِمْكَانِكُمْ أَنْ تَتَخَلَّصُوا مِنَ الْفَسَادِ الَّذِي تَنْشُرُهُ الشَّهْوَةُ فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَتَشْتَرِكُوا فِي الطَّبِيعَةِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ.

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

٥ 5 فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ، عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَبْذُلُوا كُلَّ اجْتِهَادٍ وَنَشَاطٍ فِي مُمَارَسَةِ إِيمَانِكُمْ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ بِكُمْ إِلَى الْفَضِيلَةِ. وَأَقْرِنُوا الْفَضِيلَةَ بِالتَّقَدُّمِ فِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ،

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

٦ 6 وَالْمَعْرِفَةَ بِضَبْطِ النَّفْسِ، وَضَبْطَ النَّفْسِ بِالصَّبْرِ، وَالصَّبْرَ بِالتَّقْوَى،

and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;

٧ 7 وَالتَّقْوَى بِالْمَوَدَّةِ الأَخَوِيَّةِ، وَالْمَوَدَّةَ الأَخَوِيَّةَ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ.

and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

٨ 8 فَحِينَ تَكُونُ هَذِهِ الصِّفَاتُ الطَّيِّبَةُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ، وَتَزْدَادُ بِوَفْرَةٍ، تَجْعَلُكُمْ مُجْتَهِدِينَ وَمُثْمِرِينَ فِي مَعْرِفَتِكُمْ لِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha.

٩ 9 أَمَّا الَّذِي لَا يَمْلِكُ هَذِهِ الصِّفَاتِ، فَهُوَ أَعْمَى رُوحِيًّا. إِنَّهُ قَصِيرُ الْبَصَرِ، قَدْ نَسِيَ أَنَّهُ تَطَهَّرَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ الْقَدِيمَةِ!

For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

١٠ 10 فَأَحْرَى بِكُمْ إِذَنْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ تَجْتَهِدُوا لِتُثْبِتُوا عَمَلِيًّا أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ دَعَاكُمْ وَاخْتَارَكُمْ حَقّاً. فَإِنَّكُمْ، إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا، لَنْ تَسْقُطُوا أَبَداً!

Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

١١ 11 وَهَكَذَا يَفْتَحُ اللهُ لَكُمُ الْبَابَ وَاسِعاً لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى الْمَلَكُوتِ الأَبَدِيِّ، مَلَكُوتِ رَبِّنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. (aiōnios g166)

For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua Meshikha. (aiōnios g166)

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ أَنْوِي أَنْ أُذَكِّرَكُمْ دَائِماً بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَالِمِينَ بِها، وَرَاسِخِينَ فِي الْحَقِّ الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ.

Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.

١٣ 13 فَمَادُمْتُ فِي خَيْمَةِ جِسْمِي هَذِهِ، أَرَى مِنْ وَاجِبِي أَنْ أُنَبِّهَكُمْ مُذَكِّراً.

I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;

١٤ 14 فَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَن خَيْمَتِي سَتُطْوَى بَعْدَ وَقْتٍ قَصِيرٍ، كَمَا سَبَقَ أَنْ أَعْلَنَ لِي رَبُّنَا يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ.

knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Yeshua Meshikha made clear to me.

١٥ 15 وَلِهَذَا، أَجْتَهِدُ الآنَ فِي تَذْكِيرِكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، حَتَّى تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَتَذَكَّرُوهَا دَائِماً بَعْدَ رَحِيلِي.

Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.

١٦ 16 فَنَحْنُ، عِنْدَمَا أَخْبَرْنَاكُمْ بِقُدْرَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، وَبِعَوْدَتِهِ الْمَجِيدَةِ، لَمْ نَكُنْ نَنْقُلُ عَنْ أَسَاطِيرَ مُخْتَلَقَةٍ بِمَهَارَةٍ. وَإِنَّمَا، تَكَلَّمْنَا بِاعْتِبَارِنَا شُهُودَ عَيَانٍ لِعَظَمَةِ الْمَسِيحِ.

For we did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

١٧ 17 فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ نَالَ مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ كَرَامَةً وَمَجْداً، إِذْ جَاءَهُ مِنَ الْمَجْدِ الْفَائِقِ صَوْتٌ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ الَّذِي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ كُلَّ سُرُورٍ!»

For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

١٨ 18 وَنَحْنُ أَنْفُسُنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا هَذَا الصَّوْتَ الصَّادِرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لَمَّا كُنَّا مَعَهُ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ الْمُقَدَّسِ.

We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

١٩ 19 وَهَكَذَا، صَارَتِ الْكَلِمَةُ النَّبَوِيَّةُ أَكْثَرَ ثَبَاتاً عِنْدَنَا. فَحَسَناً تَفْعَلُونَ إِنِ انْتَبَهْتُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. إِذْ إِنَّهَا أَشْبَهُ بِمِصْبَاحٍ يُضِيءُ فِي مَكَانٍ مُظْلِمٍ، إِلَى أَنْ يَطَلَعَ النَّهَارُ وَيَظْهَرَ كَوْكَبُ الصُّبْحِ.

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

٢٠ 20 وَلَكِنْ، قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ كُلَّ نُبُوءَةٍ وَارِدَةٍ فِي الْكِتَابِ لَا تُفَسَّرُ بِاجْتِهَادٍ خَاصٍّ.

knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

٢١ 21 إِذْ لَمْ تَأْتِ نُبُوءَةٌ قَطُّ بِإِرَادَةٍ بَشَرِيَّةٍ، بَلْ تَكَلَّمَ بِالنُّبُوءاتِ جَمِيعاً رِجَالُ اللهِ الْقِدِّيسُونَ مَدْفُوعِينَ بِوَحْيِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ.

For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Rukha d'Qudsha.
