2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and [the] Saviour Jesus Christ:
Simon Petrus, servus, et Apostolus Iesu Christi, iis, qui coæqualem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in iustitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Iesu Domini nostri:
3 seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;
quomodo omnia nobis divinæ virtutis suæ, quæ ad vitam, et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem eius, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
4 whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per hæc efficiamini divinæ consortes naturæ: fugientes eius, quæ in mundo est, concupiscentiæ corruptionem.
5 Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge;
Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
6 and in [your] knowledge self-control; and in [your] self-control patience; and in [your] patience godliness;
in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
7 and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly kindness love.
in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis charitatem.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hæc enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos, nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Iesu Christi cognitione.
9 For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
10 Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:
Quapropter fratres magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: hæc enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
11 for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in æternum regnum Domini nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with [you].
Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in præsenti veritate.
13 And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
Iustum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
14 knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me.
certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Iesus Christus significavit mihi.
15 Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance.
Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Non enim doctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Iesu Christi virtutem, et præsentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:
Accipiens enim a Deo Patre honorem, et gloriam, voce delapsa ad eum huiuscemodi a magnifica gloria: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui, ipsum audite.
18 and this voice we [ourselves] heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de cælo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
19 And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturæ propria interpretatione non fit.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu Sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
