2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ:
Simon Petrus, servus, et Apostolus Iesu Christi, iis, qui coæqualem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in iustitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Iesu Domini nostri:
3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,
quomodo omnia nobis divinæ virtutis suæ, quæ ad vitam, et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem eius, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per hæc efficiamini divinæ consortes naturæ: fugientes eius, quæ in mundo est, concupiscentiæ corruptionem.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis charitatem.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hæc enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos, nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Iesu Christi cognitione.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Quapropter fratres magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: hæc enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in æternum regnum Domini nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.
Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in præsenti veritate.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
Iustum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Iesus Christus significavit mihi.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.
16 For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Non enim doctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Iesu Christi virtutem, et præsentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom 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 heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de cælo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturæ propria interpretatione non fit.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu Sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
