Petri Ii 1
1 Simon Petrus, servus et apostolus Jesu Christi, iis qui coæqualem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in justitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Jesu Christi.
SHEMUN PETROS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, to those who by faith the same in preciousness with us have been made equal, through the righteousness of our Lord and our Redeemer Jeshu Meshiha.
2 Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Jesu Domini nostri:
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
3 Quomodo omnia nobis divinæ virtutis suæ, quæ ad vitam et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem ejus, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
As He who all (things) which of the divine power are unto life and godliness hath given (us), through the knowledge of Him who hath called us unto the glory of him and of virtue,
4 per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per hæc efficiamini divinæ consortes naturæ: fugientes ejus, quæ in mundo est, concupiscentiæ corruptionem.
by annunciations great and precious which he hath given to you, that by them you may be partakers of the divine nature, while you escape the corruption of the lusts which are in the world;
5 Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
So, with this, bringing in all diligence, add to your faith virtue; but to virtue knowledge,
6 in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
but to knowledge perseverance, but to perseverance patience, but to patience godliness,
7 in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis caritatem.
but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love.
8 Hæc enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Jesu Christi cognitione.
For while these are found with you, and abound, neither slothfulness nor unfruitfulness will stand against you in the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
9 Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
For he with whom these are not found is blind, and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purification of his former sins.
10 Quapropter fratres, magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: hæc enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
Upon this the more, my brethren, be careful, that by your good works your calling and your election you may confirm; for, while you do these, you will never lapse;
11 Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in æternum regnum Domini nostri et Salvatoris Jesu Christi. (aiōnios g166)
for so abundantly shall be given to you the entrance of the eternal kingdom of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha. (aiōnios g166)
12 Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in præsenti veritate.
Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth.
13 Justum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance:
14 certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Jesus Christus significavit mihi.
knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be, ) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know.
15 Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.
But be careful also that (these) you may continually have; that also after my going forth the memorial of them you may observe.
16 Non enim doctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Jesu Christi virtutem et præsentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators of his majesty.
17 Accipiens enim a Deo Patre honorem et gloriam, voce delapsa ad eum hujuscemodi a magnifica gloria: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui, ipsum audite.
For when he received from Aloha the Father honour and glory, while a voice came to him as this, after the glorious beauty of his majesty, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted;
18 Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de cælo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
we also this voice heard from heaven, as it came to him when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
We have that which is sure also, the word of prophecy; that into which you do well to look, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the sun arise in your hearts.
20 hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturæ propria interpretatione non fit.
While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution is not.
21 Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu Sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
For not by the will of man came any prophecy, but while by the Holy Spirit led spake the holy men of God.
