II Peter 1

سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ عَبْدُ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَرَسُولُهُ، إِلَى الَّذِينَ نَالُوا مَعَنَا إِيمَانًا ثَمِينًا مُسَاوِيًا لَنَا، بِبِرِّ إِلهِنَا وَالْمُخَلِّصِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ:

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

لِتَكْثُرْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ بِمَعْرِفَةِ اللهِ وَيَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

كَمَا أَنَّ قُدْرَتَهُ الإِلهِيَّةَ قَدْ وَهَبَتْ لَنَا كُلَّ مَا هُوَ لِلْحَيَاةِ وَالتَّقْوَى، بِمَعْرِفَةِ الَّذِي دَعَانَا بِالْمَجْدِ وَالْفَضِيلَةِ،

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

اللَّذَيْنِ بِهِمَا قَدْ وَهَبَ لَنَا الْمَوَاعِيدَ الْعُظْمَى وَالثَّمِينَةَ، لِكَيْ تَصِيرُوا بِهَا شُرَكَاءَ الطَّبِيعَةِ الإِلهِيَّةِ، هَارِبِينَ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ الَّذِي فِي الْعَالَمِ بِالشَّهْوَةِ.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

وَلِهذَا عَيْنِهِ ­وَأَنْتُمْ بَاذِلُونَ كُلَّ اجْتِهَادٍ­ قَدِّمُوا فِي إِيمَانِكُمْ فَضِيلَةً، وَفِي الْفَضِيلَةِ مَعْرِفَةً،

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

وَفِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ تَعَفُّفًا، وَفِي التَّعَفُّفِ صَبْرًا، وَفِي الصَّبْرِ تَقْوَى،

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

وَفِي التَّقْوَى مَوَدَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً، وَفِي الْمَوَدَّةِ الأَخَوِيَّةِ مَحَبَّةً.

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

لأَنَّ هذِهِ إِذَا كَانَتْ فِيكُمْ وَكَثُرَتْ، تُصَيِّرُكُمْ لاَ مُتَكَاسِلِينَ وَلاَ غَيْرَ مُثْمِرِينَ لِمَعْرِفَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

لأَنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ هذِهِ، هُوَ أَعْمَى قَصِيرُ الْبَصَرِ، قَدْ نَسِيَ تَطْهِيرَ خَطَايَاهُ السَّالِفَةِ.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

لِذلِكَ بِالأَكْثَرِ اجْتَهِدُوا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا دَعْوَتَكُمْ وَاخْتِيَارَكُمْ ثَابِتَيْنِ. لأَنَّكُمْ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمْ ذلِكَ، لَنْ تَزِلُّوا أَبَدًا.

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ بِسِعَةٍ دُخُولٌ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ رَبِّنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ الأَبَدِيِّ.

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

لِذلِكَ لاَ أُهْمِلُ أَنْ أُذَكِّرَكُمْ دَائِمًا بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَالِمِينَ وَمُثَبَّتِينَ فِي الْحَقِّ الْحَاضِرِ.

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

وَلكِنِّي أَحْسِبُهُ حَقًّا ­ مَا دُمْتُ فِي هذَا الْمَسْكَنِ­ أَنْ أُنْهِضَكُمْ بِالتَّذْكِرَةِ،

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

عَالِمًا أَنَّ خَلْعَ مَسْكَنِي قَرِيبٌ، كَمَا أَعْلَنَ لِي رَبُّنَا يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا.

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

فَأَجْتَهِدُ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدَ خُرُوجِي، تَتَذَكَّرُونَ كُلَّ حِينٍ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ.

Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

لأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَتْبَعْ خُرَافَاتٍ مُصَنَّعَةً، إِذْ عَرَّفْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَمَجِيئِهِ، بَلْ قَدْ كُنَّا مُعَايِنِينَ عَظَمَتَهُ.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

لأَنَّهُ أَخَذَ مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ كَرَامَةً وَمَجْدًا، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ كَهذَا مِنَ الْمَجْدِ الأَسْنَى:«هذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ الَّذِي أَنَا سُرِرْتُ بِهِ».

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

وَنَحْنُ سَمِعْنَا هذَا الصَّوْتَ مُقْبِلاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، إِذْ كُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي الْجَبَلِ الْمُقَدَّسِ.

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

وَعِنْدَنَا الْكَلِمَةُ النَّبَوِيَّةُ، وَهِيَ أَثْبَتُ، الَّتِي تَفْعَلُونَ حَسَنًا إِنِ انْتَبَهْتُمْ إِلَيْهَا، كَمَا إِلَى سِرَاجٍ مُنِيرٍ فِي مَوْضِعٍ مُظْلِمٍ، إِلَى أَنْ يَنْفَجِرَ النَّهَارُ، وَيَطْلَعَ كَوْكَبُ الصُّبْحِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ،

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

عَالِمِينَ هذَا أَوَّلاً: أَنَّ كُلَّ نُبُوَّةِ الْكِتَابِ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ خَاصٍّ.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

لأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَأْتِ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ بِمَشِيئَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ تَكَلَّمَ أُنَاسُ اللهِ الْقِدِّيسُونَ مَسُوقِينَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
