2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, unto them who have obtained, equally precious, faith, with us, in the righteousness of our God, and Saviour 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 Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge 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, all things, suited for life and godliness his divine power, unto us, hath given, through the personal knowledge of him that hath called us through glory and excellence, —
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, his precious, and very great, promises, have, unto us, been given, in order that, through these, ye might become sharers in a divine nature—escaping the corruption that is in the world by coveting.
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 very reason also—adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, 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, in your knowledge, self-control, and, in your self-control, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness,
知識に節制を、節制に忍耐を、忍耐に敬虔を、
7 And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love.
敬虔に兄弟の愛を、兄弟の愛に博愛を加へよ。
8 These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal 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 to whom these things are not present, is, blind, seeing only what is near, having come, to forget, his purification from 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 Wherefore, all the more, brethren, give diligence to be making, firm, your calling and election; for, these things, doing, in nowise shall ye stumble at any time,
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 For, thus, shall richly be further supplied unto you—the entrance into the age-abiding kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (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 Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things, —although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed 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 Right, nevertheless, I account it—as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance,
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 Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent—even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear 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 Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very things.
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, not as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, 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, when he received from God the Father honour and glory, a voice, being borne to him such as this, by the magnificent glory—My Son, the beloved, is, this, in whom, I, delight,
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 Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
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, more firm, the prophetic word; —whereunto ye are doing, well, to take heed, —as unto a lamp shining in a dusky place, —until, day, shall dawn, and, a day-star, shall 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 Of this, first, taking note—that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self-solving;
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 not, by will of man, was prophecy brought in, at any time, but, as, by Holy Spirit, they were borne along, spake, men, from God.
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。
