< 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,
ye janā asmābhiḥ sārddham astadīśvare trātari yīśukhrīṣṭe ca puṇyasambalitaviśvāsadhanasya samānāṁśitvaṁ prāptāstān prati yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāsaḥ preritaśca śimon pitaraḥ patraṁ likhati|
2 Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; —
īśvarasyāsmākaṁ prabho ryīśośca tatvajñānena yuṣmāsvanugrahaśāntyo rbāhulyaṁ varttatāṁ|
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, —
jīvanārtham īśvarabhaktyarthañca yadyad āvaśyakaṁ tat sarvvaṁ gauravasadguṇābhyām asmadāhvānakāriṇastattvajñānadvārā tasyeśvarīyaśaktirasmabhyaṁ dattavatī|
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.
tatsarvveṇa cāsmabhyaṁ tādṛśā bahumūlyā mahāpratijñā dattā yābhi ryūyaṁ saṁsāravyāptāt kutsitābhilāṣamūlāt sarvvanāśād rakṣāṁ prāpyeśvarīyasvabhāvasyāṁśino bhavituṁ śaknutha|
5 And, for this very reason also—adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, knowledge,
tato heto ryūyaṁ sampūrṇaṁ yatnaṁ vidhāya viśvāse saujanyaṁ saujanye jñānaṁ
6 And, in your knowledge, self-control, and, in your self-control, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness,
jñāna āyatendriyatām āyatendriyatāyāṁ dhairyyaṁ dhairyya īśvarabhaktim
7 And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love.
īśvarabhaktau bhrātṛsnehe ca prema yuṅkta|
8 These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
etāni yadi yuṣmāsu vidyante varddhante ca tarhyasmatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tattvajñāne yuṣmān alasān niṣphalāṁśca na sthāpayiṣyanti|
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.
kintvetāni yasya na vidyante so 'ndho mudritalocanaḥ svakīyapūrvvapāpānāṁ mārjjanasya vismṛtiṁ gataśca|
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,
tasmād he bhrātaraḥ, yūyaṁ svakīyāhvānavaraṇayo rdṛḍhakaraṇe bahu yatadhvaṁ, tat kṛtvā kadāca na skhaliṣyatha|
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)
yato 'nena prakāreṇāsmākaṁ prabhostrātṛ ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānantarājyasya praveśena yūyaṁ sukalena yojayiṣyadhve| (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;
yadyapi yūyam etat sarvvaṁ jānītha varttamāne satyamate susthirā bhavatha ca tathāpi yuṣmān sarvvadā tat smārayitum aham ayatnavān na bhaviṣyāmi|
13 Right, nevertheless, I account it—as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance,
yāvad etasmin dūṣye tiṣṭhāmi tāvad yuṣmān smārayan prabodhayituṁ vihitaṁ manye|
14 Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent—even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me:
yato 'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭo māṁ yat jñāpitavān tadanusārād dūṣyametat mayā śīghraṁ tyaktavyam iti jānāmi|
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.
mama paralokagamanāt paramapi yūyaṁ yadetāni smarttuṁ śakṣyatha tasmin sarvvathā yatiṣye|
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.
yato 'smākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya parākramaṁ punarāgamanañca yuṣmān jñāpayanto vayaṁ kalpitānyupākhyānānyanvagacchāmeti nahi kintu tasya mahimnaḥ pratyakṣasākṣiṇo bhūtvā bhāṣitavantaḥ|
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,
yataḥ sa piturīśvarād gauravaṁ praśaṁsāñca prāptavān viśeṣato mahimayuktatejomadhyād etādṛśī vāṇī taṁ prati nirgatavatī, yathā, eṣa mama priyaputra etasmin mama paramasantoṣaḥ|
18 Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
svargāt nirgateyaṁ vāṇī pavitraparvvate tena sārddhaṁ vidyamānairasmābhiraśrāvi|
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: —
aparam asmatsamīpe dṛḍhataraṁ bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ vidyate yūyañca yadi dinārambhaṁ yuṣmanmanaḥsu prabhātīyanakṣatrasyodayañca yāvat timiramaye sthāne jvalantaṁ pradīpamiva tad vākyaṁ sammanyadhve tarhi bhadraṁ kariṣyatha|
20 Of this, first, taking note—that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self-solving;
śāstrīyaṁ kimapi bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ manuṣyasya svakīyabhāvabodhakaṁ nahi, etad yuṣmābhiḥ samyak jñāyatāṁ|
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.
yato bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ purā mānuṣāṇām icchāto notpannaṁ kintvīśvarasya pavitralokāḥ pavitreṇātmanā pravarttitāḥ santo vākyam abhāṣanta|
