< 2 Peter 1 >
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
ⲁ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩ ϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲥⲉⲁϣⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
3 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;
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ
4 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.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲉⲓⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲭⲱⲣⲏⲅⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏ
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲅⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ⲥⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲉⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ⲥⲟⲛ
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁϫⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁϫⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϥϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲛⲧⲥⲱⲡⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ (aiōnios )
12 Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲓϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲱⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϯⲛⲁⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲕⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲡⲣⲡ ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲃⲧⲱⲃⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
17 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."
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲉⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
19 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:
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϯ ϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲏⲃⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲩϩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲉ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲥⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲁ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲃⲱⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲥ
21 For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
