World English Bible
1ταυτην ηδη αγαπητοι δευτεραν υμιν γραφω επιστολην εν αισ διεγειρω υμων εν υπομνησει την ειλικρινη διανοιαν
1This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you
2μνησθηναι των προειρημενων ρηματων υπο των αγιων προφητων και τησ των αποστολων υμων εντολησ του κυριου και σωτηροσ
2that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
3τουτο πρωτον γινωσκοντεσ οτι ελευσονται επ εσχατου των ημερων εμπαικται κατα τασ ιδιασ επιθυμιασ αυτων πορευομενοι
3knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, 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
4and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, 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 they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,
6δι ων ο τοτε κοσμοσ υδατι κατακλυσθεισ απωλετο
6by which means the world that existed then, 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 that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8εν δε τουτο μη λανθανετω υμασ αγαπητοι οτι μια ημερα παρα κυριω ωσ χιλια ετη και χιλια ετη ωσ ημερα μια
8But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord 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 is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
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 will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
11τουτων ουν παντων λυομενων ποταπουσ δει υπαρχειν υμασ εν αγιαισ αναστροφαισ και ευσεβειαισ
11Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
12προσδοκωντασ και σπευδοντασ την παρουσιαν τησ του θεου ημερασ δι ην ουρανοι πυρουμενοι λυθησονται και στοιχεια καυσουμενα τηκεται
12looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13καινουσ δε ουρανουσ και γην καινην κατα το επαγγελμα αυτου προσδοκωμεν εν οισ δικαιοσυνη κατοικει
13But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14διο αγαπητοι ταυτα προσδοκωντεσ σπουδασατε ασπιλοι και αμωμητοι αυτω ευρεθηναι εν ειρηνη
14Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
15και την του κυριου ημων μακροθυμιαν σωτηριαν ηγεισθε καθωσ και ο αγαπητοσ ημων αδελφοσ παυλοσ κατα την αυτω δοθεισαν σοφιαν εγραψεν υμιν
15Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote 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 of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to 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, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, 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 the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
