2 Peter — Chapter 1
| 1 | 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: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God...: Gr. of our God and Saviour} | 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 unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, | لِتَكْثُرْ لَكُمُ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ وَٱلسَّلَامُ بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱللهِ وَيَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا. |
| 3 | 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: {to: or, by} | كَمَا أَنَّ قُدْرَتَهُ ٱلْإِلَهِيَّةَ قَدْ وَهَبَتْ لَنَا كُلَّ مَا هُوَ لِلْحَيَاةِ وَٱلتَّقْوَى، بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلَّذِي دَعَانَا بِٱلْمَجْدِ وَٱلْفَضِيلَةِ، |
| 4 | 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. | ٱللَّذَيْنِ بِهِمَا قَدْ وَهَبَ لَنَا ٱلْمَوَاعِيدَ ٱلْعُظْمَى وَٱلثَّمِينَةَ، لِكَيْ تَصِيرُوا بِهَا شُرَكَاءَ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ ٱلْإِلَهِيَّةِ، هَارِبِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفَسَادِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ بِٱلشَّهْوَةِ. |
| 5 | And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; | وَلِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ \-وَأَنْتُمْ بَاذِلُونَ كُلَّ ٱجْتِهَادٍ\- قَدِّمُوا فِي إِيمَانِكُمْ فَضِيلَةً، وَفِي ٱلْفَضِيلَةِ مَعْرِفَةً، |
| 6 | And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; | وَفِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ تَعَفُّفًا، وَفِي ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ صَبْرًا، وَفِي ٱلصَّبْرِ تَقْوَى، |
| 7 | And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. | وَفِي ٱلتَّقْوَى مَوَدَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً، وَفِي ٱلْمَوَدَّةِ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةِ مَحَبَّةً. |
| 8 | 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. {barren: Gr. idle} | لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ إِذَا كَانَتْ فِيكُمْ وَكَثُرَتْ، تُصَيِّرُكُمْ لَا مُتَكَاسِلِينَ وَلَا غَيْرَ مُثْمِرِينَ لِمَعْرِفَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. |
| 9 | But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. | لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ هَذِهِ، هُوَ أَعْمَى قَصِيرُ ٱلْبَصَرِ، قَدْ نَسِيَ تَطْهِيرَ خَطَايَاهُ ٱلسَّالِفَةِ. |
| 10 | Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: | لِذَلِكَ بِٱلْأَكْثَرِ ٱجْتَهِدُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا دَعْوَتَكُمْ وَٱخْتِيَارَكُمْ ثَابِتَيْنِ. لِأَنَّكُمْ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ، لَنْ تَزِلُّوا أَبَدًا. |
| 11 | For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. | لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ بِسِعَةٍ دُخُولٌ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ رَبِّنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ. |
| 12 | 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. | لِذَلِكَ لَا أُهْمِلُ أَنْ أُذَكِّرَكُمْ دَائِمًا بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَالِمِينَ وَمُثَبَّتِينَ فِي ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْحَاضِرِ. |
| 13 | Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting {you} in remembrance; | وَلَكِنِّي أَحْسِبُهُ حَقًّا \- مَا دُمْتُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَسْكَنِ\- أَنْ أُنْهِضَكُمْ بِٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ، |
| 14 | Knowing that shortly I must put off {this} my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. | عَالِمًا أَنَّ خَلْعَ مَسْكَنِي قَرِيبٌ، كَمَا أَعْلَنَ لِي رَبُّنَا يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا. |
| 15 | Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. | فَأَجْتَهِدُ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدَ خُرُوجِي، تَتَذَكَّرُونَ كُلَّ حِينٍ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. |
| 16 | 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. | لِأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَتْبَعْ خُرَافَاتٍ مُصَنَّعَةً، إِذْ عَرَّفْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَمَجِيئِهِ، بَلْ قَدْ كُنَّا مُعَايِنِينَ عَظَمَتَهُ. |
| 17 | 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. | 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 this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. | وَنَحْنُ سَمِعْنَا هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتَ مُقْبِلًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، إِذْ كُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ. |
| 19 | 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: | 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 | Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. | عَالِمِينَ هَذَا أَوَّلًا: أَنَّ كُلَّ نُبُوَّةِ ٱلْكِتَابِ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ خَاصٍّ. |
| 21 | 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. {in old time: or, at any time} | لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَأْتِ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ بِمَشِيئَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ تَكَلَّمَ أُنَاسُ ٱللهِ ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ مَسُوقِينَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ. |

2 Peter — Chapter 2
| 1 | But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. | وَلَكِنْ، كَانَ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ أَنْبِيَاءُ كَذَبَةٌ، كَمَا سَيَكُونُ فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا مُعَلِّمُونَ كَذَبَةٌ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَدُسُّونَ بِدَعَ هَلَاكٍ. وَإِذْ هُمْ يُنْكِرُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَرَاهُمْ، يَجْلِبُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ هَلَاكًا سَرِيعًا. |
| 2 | And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read} | وَسَيَتْبَعُ كَثِيرُونَ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ. ٱلَّذِينَ بِسَبَبِهِمْ يُجَدَّفُ عَلَى طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَقِّ. |
| 3 | And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. | وَهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّمَعِ يَتَّجِرُونَ بِكُمْ بِأَقْوَالٍ مُصَنَّعَةٍ، ٱلَّذِينَ دَيْنُونَتُهُمْ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ لَا تَتَوَانَى، وَهَلَاكُهُمْ لَا يَنْعَسُ. |
| 4 | For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast {them} down to hell, and delivered {them} into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; | لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ لَمْ يُشْفِقْ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةٍ قَدْ أَخْطَأُوا، بَلْ فِي سَلَاسِلِ ٱلظَّلَامِ طَرَحَهُمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، وَسَلَّمَهُمْ مَحْرُوسِينَ لِلْقَضَاءِ، |
| 5 | And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth {person}, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; | وَلَمْ يُشْفِقْ عَلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا حَفِظَ نُوحًا ثَامِنًا كَارِزًا لِلْبِرِّ، إِذْ جَلَبَ طُوفَانًا عَلَى عَالَمِ ٱلْفُجَّارِ. |
| 6 | And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned {them} with an overthrow, making {them} an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; | وَإِذْ رَمَّدَ مَدِينَتَيْ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، حَكَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا بِٱلِٱنْقِلَابِ، وَاضِعًا عِبْرَةً لِلْعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ يَفْجُرُوا، |
| 7 | And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: | وَأَنْقَذَ لُوطًا ٱلْبَارَّ، مَغْلُوبًا مِنْ سِيرَةِ ٱلْأَرْدِيَاءِ فِي ٱلدَّعَارَةِ. |
| 8 | (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed {his} righteous soul from day to day with {their} unlawful deeds;) | إِذْ كَانَ ٱلْبَارُّ، بِٱلنَّظَرِ وَٱلسَّمْعِ وَهُوَ سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَهُمْ، يُعَذِّبُ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا نَفْسَهُ ٱلْبَارَّةَ بِٱلْأَفْعَالِ ٱلْأَثِيمَةِ. |
| 9 | The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: | يَعْلَمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يُنْقِذَ ٱلْأَتْقِيَاءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةِ، وَيَحْفَظَ ٱلْأَثَمَةَ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ مُعَاقَبِينَ، |
| 10 | But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous {are they}, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. {government: or, dominion} | وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْهَبُونَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْجَسَدِ فِي شَهْوَةِ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ، وَيَسْتَهِينُونَ بِٱلسِّيَادَةِ. جَسُورُونَ، مُعْجِبُونَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، لَا يَرْتَعِبُونَ أَنْ يَفْتَرُوا عَلَى ذَوِي ٱلْأَمْجَادِ، |
| 11 | Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. {them: some read, themselves} | حَيْثُ مَلَائِكَةٌ\- وَهُمْ أَعْظَمُ قُوَّةً وَقُدْرَةً \- لَا يُقَدِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ حُكْمَ ٱفْتِرَاءٍ. |
| 12 | But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; | أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَكَحَيَوَانَاتٍ غَيْرِ نَاطِقَةٍ، طَبِيعِيَّةٍ، مَوْلُودَةٍ لِلصَّيْدِ وَٱلْهَلَاكِ، يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى مَا يَجْهَلُونَ، فَسَيَهْلِكُونَ فِي فَسَادِهِمْ، |
| 13 | And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, {as} they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots {they are} and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; | آخِذِينَ أُجْرَةَ ٱلْإِثْمِ. ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْسِبُونَ تَنَعُّمَ يَوْمٍ لَذَّةً. أَدْنَاسٌ وَعُيُوبٌ، يَتَنَعَّمُونَ فِي غُرُورِهِمْ صَانِعِينَ وَلَائِمَ مَعَكُمْ. |
| 14 | Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress} | لَهُمْ عُيُونٌ مَمْلُوَّةٌ فِسْقًا، لَا تَكُفُّ عَنِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، خَادِعُونَ ٱلنُّفُوسَ غَيْرَ ٱلثَّابِتَةِ. لَهُمْ قَلْبٌ مُتَدَرِّبٌ فِي ٱلطَّمَعِ. أَوْلَادُ ٱللَّعْنَةِ. |
| 15 | Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam {the son} of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; | قَدْ تَرَكُوا ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ، فَضَلُّوا، تَابِعِينَ طَرِيقَ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَصُورَ ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّ أُجْرَةَ ٱلْإِثْمِ. |
| 16 | But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. | وَلَكِنَّهُ حَصَلَ عَلَى تَوْبِيخِ تَعَدِّيهِ، إِذْ مَنَعَ حَمَاقَةَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ حِمَارٌ أَعْجَمُ نَاطِقًا بِصَوْتِ إِنْسَانٍ. |
| 17 | These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. | هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ آبَارٌ بِلَا مَاءٍ، غُيُومٌ يَسُوقُهَا ٱلنَّوْءُ. ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ حُفِظَ لَهُمْ قَتَامُ ٱلظَّلَامِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. |
| 18 | For when they speak great swelling {words} of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, {through much} wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read} | لِأَنَّهُمْ إِذْ يَنْطِقُونَ بِعَظَائِمِ ٱلْبُطْلِ، يَخْدَعُونَ بِشَهَوَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِ فِي ٱلدَّعَارَةِ، مَنْ هَرَبَ قَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ فِي ٱلضَّلَالِ، |
| 19 | While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. | وَاعِدِينَ إِيَّاهُمْ بِٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ، وَهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ عَبِيدُ ٱلْفَسَادِ. لِأَنَّ مَا ٱنْغَلَبَ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ، فَهُوَ لَهُ مُسْتَعْبَدٌ أَيْضًا! |
| 20 | For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. | لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا كَانُوا، بَعْدَمَا هَرَبُوا مِنْ نَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْمُخَلِّصِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، يَرْتَبِكُونَ أَيْضًا فِيهَا، فَيَنْغَلِبُونَ، فَقَدْ صَارَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَاخِرُ أَشَرَّ مِنَ ٱلْأَوَائِلِ. |
| 21 | For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known {it}, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. | لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ لَوْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلْبِرِّ، مِنْ أَنَّهُمْ بَعْدَمَا عَرَفُوا، يَرْتَدُّونَ عَنِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ ٱلْمُسَلَّمَةِ لَهُمْ. |
| 22 | But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog {is} turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. | قَدْ أَصَابَهُمْ مَا فِي ٱلْمَثَلِ ٱلصَّادِقِ: «كَلْبٌ قَدْ عَادَ إِلَى قَيْئِهِ»، وَ«خِنْزِيرَةٌ مُغْتَسِلَةٌ إِلَى مَرَاغَةِ ٱلْحَمْأَةِ». |

2 Peter — Chapter 3
| 1 | This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in {both} which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: | هَذِهِ أَكْتُبُهَا ٱلْآنَ إِلَيْكُمْ رِسَالَةً ثَانِيَةً أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، فِيهِمَا أُنْهِضُ بِٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ ذِهْنَكُمُ ٱلنَّقِيَّ، |
| 2 | That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: | لِتَذْكُرُوا ٱلْأَقْوَالَ ٱلَّتِي قَالَهَا سَابِقًا ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ، وَوَصِيَّتَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلرُّسُلَ، وَصِيَّةَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْمُخَلِّصِ. |
| 3 | Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, | عَالِمِينَ هَذَا أَوَّلًا: أَنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ قَوْمٌ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ، سَالِكِينَ بِحَسَبِ شَهَوَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، |
| 4 | And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as {they were} from the beginning of the creation. | وَقَائِلِينَ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ مَوْعِدُ مَجِيئِهِ؟ لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ حِينَ رَقَدَ ٱلْآبَاءُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بَاقٍ هَكَذَا مِنْ بَدْءِ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ». |
| 5 | For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: {standing: Gr. consisting} | لِأَنَّ هَذَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِإِرَادَتِهِمْ: أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَانَتْ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ قَائِمَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ وَبِٱلْمَاءِ، |
| 6 | Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: | ٱللَّوَاتِي بِهِنَّ ٱلْعَالَمُ ٱلْكَائِنُ حِينَئِذٍ فَاضَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَاءُ فَهَلَكَ. |
| 7 | But 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 ungodly men. | وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْكَائِنَةُ ٱلْآنَ، فَهِيَ مَخْزُونَةٌ بِتِلْكَ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ عَيْنِهَا، مَحْفُوظَةً لِلنَّارِ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ وَهَلَاكِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْفُجَّارِ. |
| 8 | But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day {is} with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. | وَلَكِنْ لَا يَخْفَ عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَا ٱلشَّيْءُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ: أَنَّ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ، وَأَلْفَ سَنَةٍ كَيَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ. |
| 9 | The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. | لَا يَتَبَاطَأُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ وَعْدِهِ كَمَا يَحْسِبُ قَوْمٌ ٱلتَّبَاطُؤَ، لَكِنَّهُ يَتَأَنَّى عَلَيْنَا، وَهُوَ لَا يَشَاءُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ أُنَاسٌ، بَلْ أَنْ يُقْبِلَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ إِلَى ٱلتَّوْبَةِ. |
| 10 | But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. | وَلَكِنْ سَيَأْتِي كَلِصٍّ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ، يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَزُولُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ بِضَجِيجٍ، وَتَنْحَلُّ ٱلْعَنَاصِرُ مُحْتَرِقَةً، وَتَحْتَرِقُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْمَصْنُوعَاتُ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا. |
| 11 | {Seeing} then {that} all these things shall be dissolved, what manner {of persons} ought ye to be in {all} holy conversation and godliness, | فَبِمَا أَنَّ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا تَنْحَلُّ، أَيَّ أُنَاسٍ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ فِي سِيرَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ وَتَقْوَى؟ |
| 12 | Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? {hasting...: or, hasting the coming} | مُنْتَظِرِينَ وَطَالِبِينَ سُرْعَةَ مَجِيءِ يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِي بِهِ تَنْحَلُّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مُلْتَهِبَةً، وَٱلْعَنَاصِرُ مُحْتَرِقَةً تَذُوبُ. |
| 13 | Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. | وَلَكِنَّنَا بِحَسَبِ وَعْدِهِ نَنْتَظِرُ سَمَاوَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً، وَأَرْضًا جَدِيدَةً، يَسْكُنُ فِيهَا ٱلْبِرُّ. |
| 14 | Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. | لِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، إِذْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَظِرُونَ هَذِهِ، ٱجْتَهِدُوا لِتُوجَدُوا عِنْدَهُ بِلَا دَنَسٍ وَلَا عَيْبٍ، فِي سَلَامٍ. |
| 15 | And account {that} the longsuffering of our Lord {is} salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; | وَٱحْسِبُوا أَنَاةَ رَبِّنَا خَلَاصًا، كَمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَخُونَا ٱلْحَبِيبُ بُولُسُ أَيْضًا بِحَسَبِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لَهُ، |
| 16 | As also in all {his} epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as {they do} also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. | كَمَا فِي ٱلرَّسَائِلِ كُلِّهَا أَيْضًا، مُتَكَلِّمًا فِيهَا عَنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَشْيَاءُ عَسِرَةُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، يُحَرِّفُهَا غَيْرُ ٱلْعُلَمَاءِ وَغَيْرُ ٱلثَّابِتِينَ، كَبَاقِي ٱلْكُتُبِ أَيْضًا، لِهَلَاكِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ. |
| 17 | Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know {these things} before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. | فَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، إِذْ قَدْ سَبَقْتُمْ فَعَرَفْتُمُ، ٱحْتَرِسُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَنْقَادُوا بِضَلَالِ ٱلْأَرْدِيَاءِ، فَتَسْقُطُوا مِنْ ثَبَاتِكُمْ. |
| 18 | But grow in grace, and {in} the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him {be} glory both now and for ever. Amen. | وَلَكِنِ ٱنْمُوا فِي ٱلنِّعْمَةِ وَفِي مَعْرِفَةِ رَبِّنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ ٱلْآنَ وَإِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلدَّهْرِ. آمِينَ. |
