King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Simon 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:
1Simon Petrus, servus et apostolus Jesu Christi, iis qui coæqualem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in justitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Jesu Christi.
2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Jesu Domini nostri:
3According 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:
3Quomodo omnia nobis divinæ virtutis suæ, quæ ad vitam et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem ejus, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
4Whereby 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.
4per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per hæc efficiamini divinæ consortes naturæ: fugientes ejus, quæ in mundo est, concupiscentiæ corruptionem.
5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
5Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
6in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
7in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis caritatem.
8For 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.
8Hæc enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Jesu Christi cognitione.
9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
9Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
10Quapropter fratres, magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: hæc enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
11Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in æternum regnum Domini nostri et Salvatoris Jesu Christi.
12Wherefore 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.
12Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in præsenti veritate.
13Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
13Justum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
14Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
14certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Jesus Christus significavit mihi.
15Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
15Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.
16For 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.
16Non enim doctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Jesu Christi virtutem et præsentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
17For 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.
17Accipiens enim a Deo Patre honorem et gloriam, voce delapsa ad eum hujuscemodi a magnifica gloria: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui, ipsum audite.
18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
18Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de cælo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
19We 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:
19Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
20hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturæ propria interpretatione non fit.
21For 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.
21Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu Sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
