ペテロの手紙第二 1
1 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]。
Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, unto them who have obtained, equally precious, faith, with us, in the righteousness of our God, and Saviour Jesus Christ,
2 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。
Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; —
3 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、
As, all things, suited for life and godliness his divine power, unto us, hath given, through the personal knowledge of him that hath called us through glory and excellence, —
4 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、
Through which, his precious, and very great, promises, have, unto us, been given, in order that, through these, ye might become sharers in a divine nature—escaping the corruption that is in the world by coveting.
5 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、
And, for this very reason also—adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, knowledge,
6 學識に節制、節制に忍耐、忍耐に敬虔、
And, in your knowledge, self-control, and, in your self-control, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness,
7 敬虔に兄弟的相愛、兄弟的相愛に愛[徳]を加へよ。
And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love.
8 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。
These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 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。
For, he to whom these things are not present, is, blind, seeing only what is near, having come, to forget, his purification from his old sins.
10 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。
Wherefore, all the more, brethren, give diligence to be making, firm, your calling and election; for, these things, doing, in nowise shall ye stumble at any time,
For, thus, shall richly be further supplied unto you—the entrance into the age-abiding kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things, —although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth;
13 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。
Right, nevertheless, I account it—as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance,
14 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、
Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent—even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me:
15 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。
Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very things.
16 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。
For, not as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, of his majesty.
17 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。
For, when he received from God the Father honour and glory, a voice, being borne to him such as this, by the magnificent glory—My Son, the beloved, is, this, in whom, I, delight,
18 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。
Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
19 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。
And we have, more firm, the prophetic word; —whereunto ye are doing, well, to take heed, —as unto a lamp shining in a dusky place, —until, day, shall dawn, and, a day-star, shall arise in your hearts: —
20 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、
Of this, first, taking note—that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self-solving;
21 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。
For not, by will of man, was prophecy brought in, at any time, but, as, by Holy Spirit, they were borne along, spake, men, from God.
