2 Peter 3
1 Lo! ye moost dereworth britheren, Y write to you this secounde epistle, in which Y stire youre clere soule bi monesting togidere,
第三項 キリストの降臨及び世の終。 至愛なる者よ、我が今此第二の書簡を贈るは、此兩の書簡を以て汝等の正直なる理性を喚起し、
2 that ye be myndeful of tho wordis, that Y biforseide of the hooli prophetis, and of the maundementis of the hooli apostlis of the Lord and sauyour.
聖なる預言者等の預め語りし言、及び汝等の使徒等の傳へし、救主にて在す主の命令を記憶せしめん為なり。
3 First wite ye this thing, that in the laste daies disseyueris schulen come in disseit, goynge aftir her owne coueityngis,
先此事を知るべし、末の日には、己の慾に從ひて歩める嘲弄者等來りて言はん、
4 seiynge, Where is the biheest, or the comyng of hym? for sithen the fadris dieden, alle thingis lasten fro the bigynnyng of creature.
其降臨の約束は何處にかある、先祖等の眠りし以來、開闢の初に齊しく、総て變わる事なきに、と。
5 But it is hid fro hem willynge this thing, that heuenes were bifore, and the erthe of water was stondynge bi watir, of Goddis word;
彼等は、故に次の事を知らざるが如し。即ち原天あり、地も亦神の御言によりて、水より出でて水を以て成立ちたりしに、
6 bi which that ilke world clensid, thanne bi watir perischide.
其時の世は、又神の御言と水とにより、水に溺れて亡びたりき。
7 But the heuenes that now ben, and the erthe, ben kept bi the same word, and ben reseruyd to fier in to the dai of doom and perdicioun of wickid men.
然るに今在る所の天と地とは、同じ御言を以て保存せられ、火に焼かれん為に、敬虔ならざる者の審判と亡との日まで保たるるなり。
8 But, ye moost dere, this o thing be not hid to you, that o dai anentis God is as a thousynde yeeris, and a thousynde yeeris ben as o dai.
至愛なる者よ、汝等斯一事を知らざるべからず、即ち主に於ては一日は一千年の如く、一千年は一日の如し。
9 The Lord tarieth not his biheest, as summe gessen, but he doith pacientli for you, and wole not that ony men perische, but that alle turne ayen to penaunce.
或人々の思へるが如くに、主は御約束を延し給ふに非ず、唯人の亡ぶるを好み給はずして皆改心するに至らんことを好み給ふにより、汝等の為に忍耐を以て處置し給ふなり。
10 For the dai of the Lord schal come as a theef, in which heuenes with greet bire schulen passe, and elementis schulen be dissoluyd bi heete, and the erthe, and alle the werkis that ben in it, schulen be brent.
然れど主の日は盗人の如く來るべし、其時天は大いなる轟を以て去り、物質は焼毀れ、地と其上なる被造物とは焼毀びん。
11 Therfor whanne alle these thingis schulen be dissolued, what manner men bihoueth it you to be in hooli lyuyngis and pitees,
斯の如く萬物の毀るべきを覚りて、汝等は如何にも聖なる行状及び敬虔の業に於て、
12 abidinge and hiyynge in to the comyng of the dai of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, bi whom heuenes brennynge schulen be dissoluyd, and elementis schulen faile bi brennyng of fier.
主の日の來るを待ち、且之を早むべきなり。彼日に當りて、天は燃毀れ、物質は火勢を以て鎔かさるべし。
13 Also we abiden bi hise biheestis newe heuenes and newe erthe, in which riytwisnesse dwellith.
然れど我等は其約束に從ひて、義の住む所の新しき天と新しき地とを待つなり。
14 For which thing, ye moost dere, abidynge these thingis, be ye bisye to be foundun to hym in pees vnspottid and vndefoulid.
是故に、至愛なる者よ、自ら是等の事を待ちつつ、平和に於て汚染なく瑕疵なく認められん事を努めよ。
15 And deme ye long abiding of oure Lord Jhesu Crist youre heelthe, as also oure moost dere brother Poul wroot to you, bi wisdom youun to hym.
又我主の忍耐を救なりと思へ。我等が至愛の兄弟パウロが、其賜はりたる知識を以て汝等に書贈り、
16 As and in alle epistlis he spekith `in hem of these thingis; in which ben summe hard thingis to vndurstonde, whiche vnwise and vnstable men deprauen, as also thei don othere scripturis, to her owne perdicioun.
又凡ての書簡に於て是等の事に就きて語りしが如し。彼が書簡には往々暁り難き所ありて、無學者と心の堅からざる者とは、他の聖書を曲解するが如く、之をも曲解して自ら亡に至る。
17 Therfor ye, britheren, bifor witynge kepe you silf, lest ye be disseyued bi errour of vnwise men, and falle awei fro youre owne sadnesse.
然れば兄弟等よ、汝等は豫め之を知りて注意せよ、不法人の迷に誘はれて己が堅固を失ふこと勿れ。
The Great Flood
