2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Симон Петр, слуга і апостол Ісуса Христа, тим, що з нами однаку дорогу віру приняли по правдї Бога нашого і Спаса Ісуса Христа:
2 May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
благодать вам і впокій нехай умножить ся в познанню Бога й Ісуса, Господа нашого.
3 seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.
Яко ж усе до життя і побожности дароване нам Божою силою Його, через познаннє Покликавшого нас славою і чеснотою (милостю),
4 It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.
чим найбільші і дорогі обітницї даровані нам, щоб через них були ви спільниками Божої природи, ухиляючись від тлїнного хотіння, що в сьвітї,
5 But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;
то доложіть до сього усе ваше стараннє, і подайте у вірі вашій чесноту, а в чеснотї розум,
6 along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
а в розумі вдержаннє, а у вдержанню терпіннє, а в терпінню побожність,
7 along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
а в побожності братню любов, а в братній любові любов (для всїх).
8 If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Коли бо се буде у вас і умножить ся, то не оставить вас лїнивими, анї безплодними в познаннї Господа нашого Ісуса Христа.
9 For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.
У кого бо нема сього, той слїпий і коротко видющий, що забув на очищеннє давних своїх гріхів.
10 For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.
Тим то, брати, старайтесь більше утвердити ваше покликаннє і вибраннє; се бо роблячи, ніколи не спотикнетесь.
11 And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. (aiōnios g166)
Так бо щедро дозволить ся вам вхід у вічне царство Господа нашого і Спаса Ісуса Христа. (aiōnios g166)
12 For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
Тим і не занехую завсїди пригадувати вам сї речи, хоч ви й знаєте, і утверджені у сїй правдї.
13 But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.
Видить ся ж менї право, доки я у сїй оселї, розбуджувати вас у наповіданню;
14 For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.
знаючи, що скоро оставлю оселю мою, яко ж і Господь наш Ісус Христос обявив менї.
15 So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.
Старати му ся ж, щоб ви і всюди, по моєму розстанню, робили спомин сїх річей.
16 For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.
Не за байками бо, хитро придуманими, йдучи, обявили ми вам силу і прихід Господа вашого Ісуса Христа, а бувши самовидцями величчя Його.
17 He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."
Бо Він приняв від Бога Отця честь і славу, коли зійшов до Него од величньої слави такий голос: "Се Син мій любий, що я вподобав Його."
18 And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
сей голос чули ми, як сходив з неба, бувши з Ним на горі сьвятій.
19 And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Ще ж маємо певнїше слово пророче, і ви добре робите, вважаючи на него, як на сьвітильника, що сьвітить в темному місці, аж День засияє, і денниця зійде в серцях ваших;
20 But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;
се найперш знаючи, що жадне книжне пророцтво не дїєть ся своїм розвязаннєм.
21 for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
Бо ніколи із волі чоловіка не виповідано пророцтво, а від Духа сьвятого розбуджувані, промовляли сьвяті люде Божі.
