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 Savior, Jesus Christ:
イエズス、キリストの僕たり且使徒たるシモン、ペトロ、我神にして救主に在すイエズス、キリストの義によりて、我等と等しき信仰を得たる人々に[書簡を贈る]。
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
願はくは、神及び我主イエズス、キリストを熟知し奉る事によりて、恩寵と平安と汝等に加はらん事を。
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,
第一項 益徳行を積むべき必要及び其所以。 キリストの神にて在せる大能は、其固有の光榮と能力とに由りて我等を召し給ひし神を知らしめて、総て生命と敬虔とに益する所のものを我等に賜ひしものなれば、
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.
又其光榮と能力とに由りて最も大いなる尊き約束を賜ひしは、汝等をして依りて以て此世に於る情慾の腐敗を避けて、神の本性に與る者たらしめ給はん為なれば、
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
汝等も亦十分に注意して、汝等の信仰に徳を加へ、徳に學識、
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
學識に節制、節制に忍耐、忍耐に敬虔、
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
敬虔に兄弟的相愛、兄弟的相愛に愛[徳]を加へよ。
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.
蓋若是等の事汝等にありて増加せば、汝等をして我主イエズス、キリストを識り奉るに於て、働かざるもの果を結ばざるものたらしめじ。
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
是等の事なき人は盲にして遠く見る能はず、其既往の罪を潔められし事を忘れたる者なり。
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
然れば兄弟等よ、汝等の召されし事、選まれし事を、善業を以て愈固うするに努めよ、然て之を為すに於ては何時も躓く事なかるべし。 故に汝等が現に此眞理を知り、且固く此上に立てるに拘はらず、我尚常に汝等をして是等の事を記憶せしめんとす。
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
其は我主にして救主に在すイエズス、キリストの永遠の國に入るの恵を豊に加へらるべければなり。 (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.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
思ふに我が此幕屋に居る間は、此記憶を以て、汝等を励ますを至當なりとす。
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
我は我主イエズス、キリストの示し給ひし所に從ひて、我が此幕屋を下す事近きに在りと確信するが故に、
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
世を去りし後も汝等をして、屡是等の事を思出さしむる様勉めんとす。
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.
蓋我等が主イエズス、キリストの能力と降臨とを汝等に告知らせしは、巧なる寓言に基けるに非ずして、其威光の目撃者とせられてなり。
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
即ち彼は神にて在す父より尊厳と光榮とを賜はり、偉大なる光榮より聲之が為に下りて、「是ぞ我心を安んぜる我愛子なる、之に聞け」、と言はれしなり。
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
我等彼と共に聖山に在りし時、此聲の天より來りしを親しく聞けり。
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,
又尚固くせられし預言者の言我等に在り、汝等之を以て暗き所を照らす燈とし、夜明けて日の汝等の心の中に出づるまで之を省みるを善しとす。
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
先斯事を知るべし、即ち聖書の預言は総て一個人の解釈を以て解せらるるものに非ず、
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
其は預言は昔人意に由りて齎されずして、神の聖人等が聖霊に感動せられて語りしものなればなり。
