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:
ye janā asmābhiḥ sārddham astadīśvare trātari yīśukhrīṣṭe ca puṇyasambalitaviśvāsadhanasya samānāṁśitvaṁ prāptāstān prati yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāsaḥ preritaśca śimon pitaraḥ patraṁ likhati|
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
īśvarasyāsmākaṁ prabho ryīśośca tatvajñānena yuṣmāsvanugrahaśāntyo rbāhulyaṁ varttatāṁ|
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,
jīvanārtham īśvarabhaktyarthañca yadyad āvaśyakaṁ tat sarvvaṁ gauravasadguṇābhyām asmadāhvānakāriṇastattvajñānadvārā tasyeśvarīyaśaktirasmabhyaṁ dattavatī|
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.
tatsarvveṇa cāsmabhyaṁ tādṛśā bahumūlyā mahāpratijñā dattā yābhi ryūyaṁ saṁsāravyāptāt kutsitābhilāṣamūlāt sarvvanāśād rakṣāṁ prāpyeśvarīyasvabhāvasyāṁśino bhavituṁ śaknutha|
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
tato heto ryūyaṁ sampūrṇaṁ yatnaṁ vidhāya viśvāse saujanyaṁ saujanye jñānaṁ
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
jñāna āyatendriyatām āyatendriyatāyāṁ dhairyyaṁ dhairyya īśvarabhaktim
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
īśvarabhaktau bhrātṛsnehe ca prema yuṅkta|
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.
etāni yadi yuṣmāsu vidyante varddhante ca tarhyasmatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tattvajñāne yuṣmān alasān niṣphalāṁśca na sthāpayiṣyanti|
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
kintvetāni yasya na vidyante so 'ndho mudritalocanaḥ svakīyapūrvvapāpānāṁ mārjjanasya vismṛtiṁ gataśca|
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
tasmād he bhrātaraḥ, yūyaṁ svakīyāhvānavaraṇayo rdṛḍhakaraṇe bahu yatadhvaṁ, tat kṛtvā kadāca na skhaliṣyatha|
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
yato 'nena prakāreṇāsmākaṁ prabhostrātṛ ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānantarājyasya praveśena yūyaṁ sukalena yojayiṣyadhve| (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.
yadyapi yūyam etat sarvvaṁ jānītha varttamāne satyamate susthirā bhavatha ca tathāpi yuṣmān sarvvadā tat smārayitum aham ayatnavān na bhaviṣyāmi|
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
yāvad etasmin dūṣye tiṣṭhāmi tāvad yuṣmān smārayan prabodhayituṁ vihitaṁ manye|
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
yato 'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭo māṁ yat jñāpitavān tadanusārād dūṣyametat mayā śīghraṁ tyaktavyam iti jānāmi|
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
mama paralokagamanāt paramapi yūyaṁ yadetāni smarttuṁ śakṣyatha tasmin sarvvathā yatiṣye|
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.
yato 'smākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya parākramaṁ punarāgamanañca yuṣmān jñāpayanto vayaṁ kalpitānyupākhyānānyanvagacchāmeti nahi kintu tasya mahimnaḥ pratyakṣasākṣiṇo bhūtvā bhāṣitavantaḥ|
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.”
yataḥ sa piturīśvarād gauravaṁ praśaṁsāñca prāptavān viśeṣato mahimayuktatejomadhyād etādṛśī vāṇī taṁ prati nirgatavatī, yathā, eṣa mama priyaputra etasmin mama paramasantoṣaḥ|
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
svargāt nirgateyaṁ vāṇī pavitraparvvate tena sārddhaṁ vidyamānairasmābhiraśrāvi|
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,
aparam asmatsamīpe dṛḍhataraṁ bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ vidyate yūyañca yadi dinārambhaṁ yuṣmanmanaḥsu prabhātīyanakṣatrasyodayañca yāvat timiramaye sthāne jvalantaṁ pradīpamiva tad vākyaṁ sammanyadhve tarhi bhadraṁ kariṣyatha|
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
śāstrīyaṁ kimapi bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ manuṣyasya svakīyabhāvabodhakaṁ nahi, etad yuṣmābhiḥ samyak jñāyatāṁ|
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
yato bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ purā mānuṣāṇām icchāto notpannaṁ kintvīśvarasya pavitralokāḥ pavitreṇātmanā pravarttitāḥ santo vākyam abhāṣanta|
