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:
ⲁ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ. ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲥⲉⲁϣⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
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,
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ.
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.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲓⲏⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲫⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ.
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲅⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅. ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲅⲕⲣⲁⲧⲓⲁ. ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ.
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
ⲍ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ.
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.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲁϫⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣʾ (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.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ. ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲓϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϯⲛⲁⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲧⲱⲃⲟⲩ. ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
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.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
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,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲃⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲩϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲥⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲃⲱⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲥ.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
