2 Peter 1

1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:

1 سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ عَبْدُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَرَسُولُهُ، إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ نَالُوا مَعَنَا إِيمَانًا ثَمِينًا مُسَاوِيًا لَنَا، بِبِرِّ إِلَهِنَا وَٱلْمُخَلِّصِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

2 لِتَكْثُرْ لَكُمُ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ وَٱلسَّلَامُ بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱللهِ وَيَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا.

3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

3 كَمَا أَنَّ قُدْرَتَهُ ٱلْإِلَهِيَّةَ قَدْ وَهَبَتْ لَنَا كُلَّ مَا هُوَ لِلْحَيَاةِ وَٱلتَّقْوَى، بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلَّذِي دَعَانَا بِٱلْمَجْدِ وَٱلْفَضِيلَةِ،

4 Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

4 ٱللَّذَيْنِ بِهِمَا قَدْ وَهَبَ لَنَا ٱلْمَوَاعِيدَ ٱلْعُظْمَى وَٱلثَّمِينَةَ، لِكَيْ تَصِيرُوا بِهَا شُرَكَاءَ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ ٱلْإِلَهِيَّةِ، هَارِبِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفَسَادِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ بِٱلشَّهْوَةِ.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;

5 وَلِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ -وَأَنْتُمْ بَاذِلُونَ كُلَّ ٱجْتِهَادٍ- قَدِّمُوا فِي إِيمَانِكُمْ فَضِيلَةً، وَفِي ٱلْفَضِيلَةِ مَعْرِفَةً،

6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

6 وَفِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ تَعَفُّفًا، وَفِي ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ صَبْرًا، وَفِي ٱلصَّبْرِ تَقْوَى،

7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

7 وَفِي ٱلتَّقْوَى مَوَدَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً، وَفِي ٱلْمَوَدَّةِ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةِ مَحَبَّةً.

8 For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ إِذَا كَانَتْ فِيكُمْ وَكَثُرَتْ، تُصَيِّرُكُمْ لَا مُتَكَاسِلِينَ وَلَا غَيْرَ مُثْمِرِينَ لِمَعْرِفَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

9 But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

9 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ هَذِهِ، هُوَ أَعْمَى قَصِيرُ ٱلْبَصَرِ، قَدْ نَسِيَ تَطْهِيرَ خَطَايَاهُ ٱلسَّالِفَةِ.

10 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,

10 لِذَلِكَ بِٱلْأَكْثَرِ ٱجْتَهِدُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا دَعْوَتَكُمْ وَٱخْتِيَارَكُمْ ثَابِتَيْنِ. لِأَنَّكُمْ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ، لَنْ تَزِلُّوا أَبَدًا.

11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

11 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ بِسِعَةٍ دُخُولٌ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ رَبِّنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ.

12 Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.

12 لِذَلِكَ لَا أُهْمِلُ أَنْ أُذَكِّرَكُمْ دَائِمًا بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَالِمِينَ وَمُثَبَّتِينَ فِي ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْحَاضِرِ.

13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,

13 وَلَكِنِّي أَحْسِبُهُ حَقًّا - مَا دُمْتُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَسْكَنِ- أَنْ أُنْهِضَكُمْ بِٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ،

14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

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

15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.

15 فَأَجْتَهِدُ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدَ خُرُوجِي، تَتَذَكَّرُونَ كُلَّ حِينٍ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

16 لِأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَتْبَعْ خُرَافَاتٍ مُصَنَّعَةً، إِذْ عَرَّفْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَمَجِيئِهِ، بَلْ قَدْ كُنَّا مُعَايِنِينَ عَظَمَتَهُ.

17 For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

17 لِأَنَّهُ أَخَذَ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ كَرَامَةً وَمَجْدًا، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ كَهَذَا مِنَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْأَسْنَى: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سُرِرْتُ بِهِ».

18 And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

18 وَنَحْنُ سَمِعْنَا هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتَ مُقْبِلًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، إِذْ كُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ.

19 We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

19 وَعِنْدَنَا ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلنَّبَوِيَّةُ، وَهِيَ أَثْبَتُ، ٱلَّتِي تَفْعَلُونَ حَسَنًا إِنِ ٱنْتَبَهْتُمْ إِلَيْهَا، كَمَا إِلَى سِرَاجٍ مُنِيرٍ فِي مَوْضِعٍ مُظْلِمٍ، إِلَى أَنْ يَنْفَجِرَ ٱلنَّهَارُ، وَيَطْلَعَ كَوْكَبُ ٱلصُّبْحِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ،

20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.

20 عَالِمِينَ هَذَا أَوَّلًا: أَنَّ كُلَّ نُبُوَّةِ ٱلْكِتَابِ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ خَاصٍّ.

21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

21 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَأْتِ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ بِمَشِيئَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ تَكَلَّمَ أُنَاسُ ٱللهِ ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ مَسُوقِينَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.
