1ταυτην ηδη αγαπητοι δευτεραν υμιν γραφω επιστολην εν αισ διεγειρω υμων εν υπομνησει την ειλικρινη διανοιαν
1Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind:
2μνησθηναι των προειρημενων ρηματων υπο των αγιων προφητων και τησ των αποστολων υμων εντολησ του κυριου και σωτηροσ
2That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets, and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour.
3τουτο πρωτον γινωσκοντεσ οτι ελευσονται επ εσχατου των ημερων εμπαικται κατα τασ ιδιασ επιθυμιασ αυτων πορευομενοι
3Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4και λεγοντεσ που εστιν η επαγγελια τησ παρουσιασ αυτου αφ ησ γαρ οι πατερεσ εκοιμηθησαν παντα ουτωσ διαμενει απ αρχησ κτισεωσ
4Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? for since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5λανθανει γαρ αυτουσ τουτο θελοντασ οτι ουρανοι ησαν εκπαλαι και γη εξ υδατοσ και δι υδατοσ συνεστωσα τω του θεου λογω
5For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God.
6δι ων ο τοτε κοσμοσ υδατι κατακλυσθεισ απωλετο
6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
7οι δε νυν ουρανοι και η γη τω αυτου λογω τεθησαυρισμενοι εισιν πυρι τηρουμενοι εισ ημεραν κρισεωσ και απωλειασ των ασεβων ανθρωπων
7But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men.
8εν δε τουτο μη λανθανετω υμασ αγαπητοι οτι μια ημερα παρα κυριω ωσ χιλια ετη και χιλια ετη ωσ ημερα μια
8But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9ου βραδυνει ο κυριοσ τησ επαγγελιασ ωσ τινεσ βραδυτητα ηγουνται αλλα μακροθυμει εισ ημασ μη βουλομενοσ τινασ απολεσθαι αλλα παντασ εισ μετανοιαν χωρησαι
9The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.
10ηξει δε η ημερα κυριου ωσ κλεπτησ εν νυκτι εν η οι ουρανοι ροιζηδον παρελευσονται στοιχεια δε καυσουμενα λυθησονται και γη και τα εν αυτη εργα κατακαησεται
10But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up.
11τουτων ουν παντων λυομενων ποταπουσ δει υπαρχειν υμασ εν αγιαισ αναστροφαισ και ευσεβειαισ
11Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?
12προσδοκωντασ και σπευδοντασ την παρουσιαν τησ του θεου ημερασ δι ην ουρανοι πυρουμενοι λυθησονται και στοιχεια καυσουμενα τηκεται
12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?
13καινουσ δε ουρανουσ και γην καινην κατα το επαγγελμα αυτου προσδοκωμεν εν οισ δικαιοσυνη κατοικει
13But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.
14διο αγαπητοι ταυτα προσδοκωντεσ σπουδασατε ασπιλοι και αμωμητοι αυτω ευρεθηναι εν ειρηνη
14Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.
15και την του κυριου ημων μακροθυμιαν σωτηριαν ηγεισθε καθωσ και ο αγαπητοσ ημων αδελφοσ παυλοσ κατα την αυτω δοθεισαν σοφιαν εγραψεν υμιν
15And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
16ωσ και εν πασαισ ταισ επιστολαισ λαλων εν αυταισ περι τουτων εν οισ εστιν δυσνοητα τινα α οι αμαθεισ και αστηρικτοι στρεβλουσιν ωσ και τασ λοιπασ γραφασ προσ την ιδιαν αυτων απωλειαν
16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17υμεισ ουν αγαπητοι προγινωσκοντεσ φυλασσεσθε ινα μη τη των αθεσμων πλανη συναπαχθεντεσ εκπεσητε του ιδιου στηριγμου
17You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness.
18αυξανετε δε εν χαριτι και γνωσει του κυριου ημων και σωτηροσ ιησου χριστου αυτω η δοξα και νυν και εισ ημεραν αιωνοσ αμην
18But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen.
