2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received the same precious faith as we have received, faith in the righteousness of our God and Savior 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 May grace and peace increase in measure in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Iesu Domini nostri:
3 All the things concerning divine power for life and godliness have been given to us through the knowledge of God, who called us through his own 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 these, he gave us precious and great promises, so that you might be sharers in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world that is caused by evil desires.
per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per haec efficiamini divinae consortes naturae: fugientes eius, quae in mundo est, concupiscentiae corruptionem.
5 For this reason, do your best to add goodness to your faith; and to goodness add knowledge;
Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
6 to knowledge add self-control; to self-control add endurance; to endurance add godliness;
in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
7 to godliness add brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection add love.
in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis charitatem.
8 If these things are in you and grow in you, you will not be barren or unfruitful in the 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 But whoever lacks these things is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Cui enim non praesto sunt haec, caecus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
10 Therefore, brothers, do your best to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you will not stumble.
Quapropter fratres magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: haec enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
11 In this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in aeternum regnum Domini nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will always be ready to remind you of these things, although you know them, and although you are strong in the truth you now have.
Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in praesenti veritate.
13 It is proper for me to think, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by way of reminder.
Iustum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
14 For I know that the putting off of my tent will be soon, because our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed this to me.
certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Iesus Christus significavit mihi.
15 I will make every effort to see that after my departure you may be always able to remember these things.
Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum omnium memoriam faciatis.
16 For we did not follow cleverly invented myths when we made known to you the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses 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 he received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice was brought to him by the Majestic Glory saying, “This is my beloved Son, with him I am well pleased.”
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 We ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de caelo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
19 For we have this prophetic word made more sure, and you do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises 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 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy comes from someone's own interpretation.
hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturae propria interpretatione non fit.
21 For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man, but men spoke from God when they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
