ペテロの手紙第二 1
1 イエス・キリストの僕また使徒なるシメオン・ペテロ、書を我らの神および救主イエス・キリストの義によりて、我らと同じ貴き信仰を受けたる者に贈る。
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained faith, equally as precious as our own, in the plan of justification revealed by our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 願はくは神および我らの主イエスを知るによりて、恩惠と平安と汝らに増さんことを。
grace be to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgment of God, and Jesus our Lord.
3 キリストの神たる能力は、生命と敬虔とに係る凡てのものを我らに賜へり。是おのれの榮光と徳とをもて召し給へる者を我ら知るに因りてなり。
As his divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who has called us by his glorious power,
4 その榮光と徳とによりて我らに貴き大なる約束を賜へり、これは汝らが世に在る慾の滅亡をのがれ、神の性質に與る者とならん爲なり。
through which things very great and precious favors that were promised have been given us, that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through desire:
5 この故に勵み勉めて汝らの信仰に徳を加へ、徳に知識を、
so, even for this very purpose, uniting to these things all diligence, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
6 知識に節制を、節制に忍耐を、忍耐に敬虔を、
and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 敬虔に兄弟の愛を、兄弟の愛に博愛を加へよ。
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8 此 等のもの汝らの衷にありて彌増すときは、汝 等われらの主イエス・キリストを知るに怠ることなく、實を結ばぬこと無きに至らん。
For if these things be in you, and abound, they cause you to be neither idle, nor unfruitful as it respects the acknowledgment of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 此 等のものの無きは盲人にして遠く見ること能はず、己が舊き罪を潔められしことを忘れたるなり。
But he who is wanting in these things is blind, and closes his eyes, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 この故に兄弟よ、ますます勵みて汝らの召されたること、選ばれたることを堅うせよ。若し此 等のことを行はば躓くことなからん。
Wherefore, brethren, give the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you will never fall.
For thus will an entrance be given you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 されば汝らは此 等のことを知り、既に受けたる眞理に堅うせられたれど、我つねに此 等のことを思ひ出させんとするなり。
Wherefore, I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 我は尚この幕屋に居るあいだ、汝らに思ひ出させて勵ますを正當なりと思ふ。
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you by putting you in remembrance.
14 そは我らの主イエス・キリストの我に示し給へるごとく、我わが幕屋を脱ぎ去ることの速かなるを知ればなり。
For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.
15 我また汝 等をして我が世を去らん後にも、常に此 等のことを思ひ出させんと勉むべし。
But I will earnestly endeavor that you may be able, even after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 我らは我らの主イエス・キリストの能力と來りたまふ事とを汝らに告ぐるに、巧なる作話を用ひざりき、我らは親しくその稜威を見し者なり。
For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 いとも貴き榮光の中より聲 出でて『こは我が愛しむ子なり、我これを悦ぶ』と言ひ給へるとき、主は父なる神より尊貴と榮光とを受け給へり。
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came to him from the magnificent glory a voice, such as this: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
18 我らも彼と偕に聖なる山に在りしとき、天より出づる此の聲をきけり。
And this voice, which came from heaven, we heard when we were with him in the holy mount;
19 かくて我らが有てる預言の言は堅うせられたり。汝 等この言を暗き處にかがやく燈火として、夜明け、明星の汝らの心の中にいづるまで顧みるは善し。
and we have the prophetic word better established. You do well to attend to this, as to a lamp that shines in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in your hearts;
20 なんじら先づ知れ、聖書の預言は、すべて己がままに釋くべきものにあらぬを。
knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture came from private interpretation:
21 預言は人の心より出でしにあらず、人々 聖 靈に動かされ、神によりて語れるものなればなり。
for the prophecy came not at any time by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
