2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
yE janA asmAbhiH sArddham astadIzvarE trAtari yIzukhrISTE ca puNyasambalitavizvAsadhanasya samAnAMzitvaM prAptAstAn prati yIzukhrISTasya dAsaH prEritazca zimOn pitaraH patraM likhati|
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
IzvarasyAsmAkaM prabhO ryIzOzca tatvajnjAnEna yuSmAsvanugrahazAntyO rbAhulyaM varttatAM|
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
jIvanArtham Izvarabhaktyarthanjca yadyad AvazyakaM tat sarvvaM gauravasadguNAbhyAm asmadAhvAnakAriNastattvajnjAnadvArA tasyEzvarIyazaktirasmabhyaM dattavatI|
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
tatsarvvENa cAsmabhyaM tAdRzA bahumUlyA mahApratijnjA dattA yAbhi ryUyaM saMsAravyAptAt kutsitAbhilASamUlAt sarvvanAzAd rakSAM prApyEzvarIyasvabhAvasyAMzinO bhavituM zaknutha|
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
tatO hEtO ryUyaM sampUrNaM yatnaM vidhAya vizvAsE saujanyaM saujanyE jnjAnaM
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
jnjAna AyatEndriyatAm AyatEndriyatAyAM dhairyyaM dhairyya Izvarabhaktim
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
Izvarabhaktau bhrAtRsnEhE ca prEma yugkta|
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
EtAni yadi yuSmAsu vidyantE varddhantE ca tarhyasmatprabhO ryIzukhrISTasya tattvajnjAnE yuSmAn alasAn niSphalAMzca na sthApayiSyanti|
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
kintvEtAni yasya na vidyantE sO 'ndhO mudritalOcanaH svakIyapUrvvapApAnAM mArjjanasya vismRtiM gatazca|
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
tasmAd hE bhrAtaraH, yUyaM svakIyAhvAnavaraNayO rdRPhakaraNE bahu yatadhvaM, tat kRtvA kadAca na skhaliSyatha|
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
yatO 'nEna prakArENAsmAkaM prabhOstrAtR ryIzukhrISTasyAnantarAjyasya pravEzEna yUyaM sukalEna yOjayiSyadhvE| (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
yadyapi yUyam Etat sarvvaM jAnItha varttamAnE satyamatE susthirA bhavatha ca tathApi yuSmAn sarvvadA tat smArayitum aham ayatnavAn na bhaviSyAmi|
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
yAvad Etasmin dUSyE tiSThAmi tAvad yuSmAn smArayan prabOdhayituM vihitaM manyE|
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
yatO 'smAkaM prabhu ryIzukhrISTO mAM yat jnjApitavAn tadanusArAd dUSyamEtat mayA zIghraM tyaktavyam iti jAnAmi|
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
mama paralOkagamanAt paramapi yUyaM yadEtAni smarttuM zakSyatha tasmin sarvvathA yatiSyE|
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
yatO 'smAkaM prabhO ryIzukhrISTasya parAkramaM punarAgamananjca yuSmAn jnjApayantO vayaM kalpitAnyupAkhyAnAnyanvagacchAmEti nahi kintu tasya mahimnaH pratyakSasAkSiNO bhUtvA bhASitavantaH|
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
yataH sa piturIzvarAd gauravaM prazaMsAnjca prAptavAn vizESatO mahimayuktatEjOmadhyAd EtAdRzI vANI taM prati nirgatavatI, yathA, ESa mama priyaputra Etasmin mama paramasantOSaH|
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
svargAt nirgatEyaM vANI pavitraparvvatE tEna sArddhaM vidyamAnairasmAbhirazrAvi|
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
aparam asmatsamIpE dRPhataraM bhaviSyadvAkyaM vidyatE yUyanjca yadi dinArambhaM yuSmanmanaHsu prabhAtIyanakSatrasyOdayanjca yAvat timiramayE sthAnE jvalantaM pradIpamiva tad vAkyaM sammanyadhvE tarhi bhadraM kariSyatha|
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
zAstrIyaM kimapi bhaviSyadvAkyaM manuSyasya svakIyabhAvabOdhakaM nahi, Etad yuSmAbhiH samyak jnjAyatAM|
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
yatO bhaviSyadvAkyaM purA mAnuSANAm icchAtO nOtpannaM kintvIzvarasya pavitralOkAH pavitrENAtmanA pravarttitAH santO vAkyam abhASanta|
