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,
Simon Petrus, servus, et Apostolus Iesu Christi, iis, qui coaequalem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in iustitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi.
2 Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; —
Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Iesu Domini nostri:
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, —
quomodo omnia nobis divinae virtutis suae, quae ad vitam, et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem eius, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
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.
per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per haec efficiamini divinae consortes naturae: fugientes eius, quae in mundo est, concupiscentiae corruptionem.
5 And, for this very reason also—adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, 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, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness,
in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
7 And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love.
in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis charitatem.
8 These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Haec enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos, nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Iesu Christi cognitione.
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.
Cui enim non praesto sunt haec, caecus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
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,
Quapropter fratres magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: haec enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
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)
Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in aeternum regnum Domini nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi. (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;
Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in praesenti veritate.
13 Right, nevertheless, I account it—as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance,
Iustum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
14 Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent—even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me:
certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Iesus Christus significavit mihi.
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.
Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum omnium memoriam faciatis.
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.
Non enim indoctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Iesu Christi virtutem, et praesentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
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,
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 Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de caelo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
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: —
Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernae lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
20 Of this, first, taking note—that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self-solving;
hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturae propria interpretatione non fit.
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.
Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
