< 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:
ܫܡܥܘܢ ܦܛܪܘܤ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܘܝܬ ܒܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܡܢ ܐܫܬܘܝܘ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܢܤܓܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܘܘܕܥܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
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,
ܐܝܟ ܡܢ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܚܝܐ ܘܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܒܝܕ ܫܘܘܕܥܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܢ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ
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.
ܕܒܐܝܕܝܗܝܢ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܘܝܩܝܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܝܗܒ ܕܒܝܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܕܟܝܢܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܟܕ ܥܪܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܒܠܐ ܕܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
ܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܩܠܛܥܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܥܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܘܤܦܘ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܝܕܥܬܐ
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܡܚܡܤܢܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܡܤܢܢܘܬܐ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܚܡܬ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܪܚܡܬ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܚܘܒܐ
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.
ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܫܟܝܚܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܝܠܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܡܩܝܡܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܘܘܕܥܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܫܟܝܚܢ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܕܛܥܐ ܕܘܟܝܐ ܕܚܛܗܘܗܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
ܘܥܠ ܗܝ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܚܝ ܝܨܦܘ ܕܒܝܕ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܛܒܐ ܩܪܝܬܟܘܢ ܘܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܫܪܪܬܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܡܫܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܝܗܒܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ (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.
ܘܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܥܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܕ ܛܒ ܐܦ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܗܢܐ
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
ܕܟܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܒܪܬ ܠܝ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܒܦܓܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܥܝܪܟܘܢ ܒܥܘܗܕܢܐ
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
ܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܘܢܕܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܝ ܒܥܓܠ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܘܕܥܢܝ
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
ܝܨܦ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܡܦܩܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ
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.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܒܬܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܕܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܙܠܝܢܢ ܐܘܕܥܢܟܘܢ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ
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.”
ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܢܤܒ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܟܕ ܩܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܦܐܝܬ ܒܪܒܘܬܗ ܕܗܢܘ ܒܪܝ ܗܘ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܐܨܛܒܝܬ
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܩܠܐ ܫܡܥܢܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ
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,
ܘܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܐܦ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܕ ܒܗ ܚܝܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܫܪܓܐ ܕܡܢܗܪ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܥܡܘܛܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܝܡܡܐ ܢܢܗܪ ܘܫܡܫܐ ܢܕܢܚ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
ܟܕ ܗܕܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܐ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܐ
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܡܬܘܡ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܬܢܓܕܝܢ ܡܠܠܘ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
