2 Peter 1
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
イエス・キリストの僕また使徒なるシメオン・ペテロ、書を我らの神および救主イエス・キリストの義によりて、我らと同じ貴き信仰を受けたる者に贈る。
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the acknowledgment of God and of Jesus our Lord!
願はくは神および我らの主イエスを知るによりて、恩惠と平安と汝らに増さんことを。
3 As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and piety, through the acknowledgment of Him who called us through glory and virtue,
キリストの神たる能力は、生命と敬虔とに係る凡てのものを我らに賜へり。是おのれの榮光と徳とをもて召し給へる者を我ら知るに因りてなり。
4 through which the most great and precious promises have been given to us, that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption [and] lust in the world.
その榮光と徳とによりて我らに貴き大なる約束を賜へり、これは汝らが世に在る慾の滅亡をのがれ、神の性質に與る者とならん爲なり。
5 And [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with virtue—knowledge,
この故に勵み勉めて汝らの信仰に徳を加へ、徳に知識を、
6 and with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
知識に節制を、節制に忍耐を、忍耐に敬虔を、
7 and with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
敬虔に兄弟の愛を、兄弟の愛に博愛を加へよ。
8 for these things being in you and abounding, make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ,
此 等のもの汝らの衷にありて彌増すときは、汝 等われらの主イエス・キリストを知るに怠ることなく、實を結ばぬこと無きに至らん。
9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
此 等のものの無きは盲人にして遠く見ること能はず、己が舊き罪を潔められしことを忘れたるなり。
10 therefore, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
この故に兄弟よ、ますます勵みて汝らの召されたること、選ばれたることを堅うせよ。若し此 等のことを行はば躓くことなからん。
11 in this way the entrance into the continuous kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplemented to you. (aiōnios g166)
かくて汝らは我らの主なる救主イエス・キリストの永遠の國に入る恩惠を豐に與へられん。 (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you about these things, although you have known [them] and have been established in the present truth,
されば汝らは此 等のことを知り、既に受けたる眞理に堅うせられたれど、我つねに此 等のことを思ひ出させんとするなり。
13 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
我は尚この幕屋に居るあいだ、汝らに思ひ出させて勵ますを正當なりと思ふ。
14 having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
そは我らの主イエス・キリストの我に示し給へるごとく、我わが幕屋を脱ぎ去ることの速かなるを知ればなり。
15 And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
我また汝 等をして我が世を去らん後にも、常に此 等のことを思ひ出させんと勉むべし。
16 For having not followed out skillfully devised fables, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having become eyewitnesses of His majesty—
我らは我らの主イエス・キリストの能力と來りたまふ事とを汝らに告ぐるに、巧なる作話を用ひざりき、我らは親しくその稜威を見し者なり。
17 for having received honor and glory from God the Father, such a voice being borne to Him by the Excellent Glory: “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted”;
いとも貴き榮光の中より聲 出でて『こは我が愛しむ子なり、我これを悦ぶ』と言ひ給へるとき、主は父なる神より尊貴と榮光とを受け給へり。
18 and we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
我らも彼と偕に聖なる山に在りしとき、天より出づる此の聲をきけり。
19 And we have a more firm prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day may dawn, and [the] morning star may arise in your hearts;
かくて我らが有てる預言の言は堅うせられたり。汝 等この言を暗き處にかがやく燈火として、夜明け、明星の汝らの心の中にいづるまで顧みるは善し。
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Writing comes of private exposition,
なんじら先づ知れ、聖書の預言は、すべて己がままに釋くべきものにあらぬを。
21 for prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
預言は人の心より出でしにあらず、人々 聖 靈に動かされ、神によりて語れるものなればなり。
