Simon Pierre, serviteur et apôtre de Jésus Christ, à ceux qui ont reçu en partage une foi du même prix que la nôtre, par la justice de notre Dieu et du Sauveur Jésus Christ:

que la grâce et la paix vous soient multipliées par la connaissance de Dieu et de Jésus notre Seigneur!

Comme sa divine puissance nous a donné tout ce qui contribue à la vie et à la piété, au moyen de la connaissance de celui qui nous a appelés par sa propre gloire et par sa vertu,

lesquelles nous assurent de sa part les plus grandes et les plus précieuses promesses, afin que par elles vous deveniez participants de la nature divine, en fuyant la corruption qui existe dans le monde par la convoitise,

à cause de cela même, faites tous vos efforts pour joindre à votre foi la vertu, à la vertu la science,

à la science la tempérance, à la tempérance la patience, à la patience la piété,

à la piété l'amour fraternel, à l'amour fraternel la charité.

Car si ces choses sont en vous, et y sont avec abondance, elles ne vous laisseront point oisifs ni stériles pour la connaissance de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ.

Mais celui en qui ces choses ne sont point est aveugle, il ne voit pas de loin, et il a mis en oubli la purification de ses anciens péchés.

10 C'est pourquoi, frères, appliquez-vous d'autant plus à affermir votre vocation et votre élection; car, en faisant cela, vous ne broncherez jamais.

11 C'est ainsi, en effet, que l'entrée dans le royaume éternel de notre Seigneur et Sauveur Jésus Christ vous sera pleinement accordée.

12 Voilà pourquoi je prendrai soin de vous rappeler ces choses, bien que vous les sachiez et que vous soyez affermis dans la vérité présente.

13 Et je regarde comme un devoir, aussi longtemps que je suis dans cette tente, de vous tenir en éveil par des avertissements,

14 car je sais que je la quitterai subitement, ainsi que notre Seigneur Jésus Christ me l'a fait connaître.

15 Mais j'aurai soin qu'après mon départ vous puissiez toujours vous souvenir de ces choses.

16 Ce n'est pas, en effet, en suivant des fables habilement conçues, que nous vous avons fait connaître la puissance et l'avènement de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, mais c'est comme ayant vu sa majesté de nos propres yeux.

17 Car il a reçu de Dieu le Père honneur et gloire, quand la gloire magnifique lui fit entendre une voix qui disait: Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai mis toute mon affection.

18 Et nous avons entendu cette voix venant du ciel, lorsque nous étions avec lui sur la sainte montagne.

19 Et nous tenons pour d'autant plus certaine la parole prophétique, à laquelle vous faites bien de prêter attention, comme à une lampe qui brille dans un lieu obscur, jusqu'à ce que le jour vienne à paraître et que l'étoile du matin se lève dans vos coeurs;

20 sachant tout d'abord vous-mêmes qu'aucune prophétie de l'Écriture ne peut être un objet d'interprétation particulière,

21 car ce n'est pas par une volonté d'homme qu'une prophétie a jamais été apportée, mais c'est poussés par le Saint Esprit que des hommes ont parlé de la part de Dieu.

Greeting the Faithful

Simon Peter, a bondservant and (A)apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have [a]obtained (B)like[b] precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

(C)Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His (D)divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him (E)who called us by glory and virtue, (F)by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be (G)partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [c]corruption that is in the world through lust.

Fruitful Growth in the Faith

But also for this very reason, (H)giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue (I)knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control [d]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and (J)to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither [e]barren (K)nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is (L)shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent (M)to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Peter’s Approaching Death

12 For this reason (N)I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, (O)though you know and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, (P)as long as I am in this [f]tent, (Q)to stir you up by reminding you, 14 (R)knowing that shortly I must [g]put off my tent, just as (S)our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my [h]decease.

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word(T)

16 For we did not follow (U)cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the (V)power and (W)coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were (X)eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: (Y)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on (Z)the holy mountain.

19 [i]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a (AA)light that shines in a dark place, (AB)until (AC)the day dawns and the morning star rises in your (AD)hearts; 20 knowing this first, that (AE)no prophecy of Scripture is of any private [j]interpretation, 21 for (AF)prophecy never came by the will of man, (AG)but [k]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Simon Petru, rob şi apostol al lui Isus Cristos, către cei care, prin dreptatea Dumnezeului şi Mântuitorului nostru Isus Cristos, au primit o credinţă la fel de preţioasă ca a noastră: harul şi pacea să vă fie înmulţite prin cunoaşterea lui Dumnezeu şi a lui Isus, Domnul nostru!

Chemarea şi alegerea creştinului

Dumnezeiasca Lui putere ne-a dăruit toate lucrurile necesare pentru viaţă şi evlavie, prin cunoaşterea Celui Ce ne-a chemat prin slava şi virtutea Lui. Prin aceste lucruri, El ne-a dăruit promisiunile Lui preţioase şi foarte mari, pentru ca, prin acestea, scăpând de depravarea care este în lume din cauza poftelor, să deveniţi părtaşi ai naturii dumnezeieşti.

De aceea, daţi-vă toată silinţa să adăugaţi la credinţa voastră virtutea, la virtute – cunoaşterea, la cunoaştere – înfrânarea, la înfrânare – răbdarea, la răbdare – evlavia, la evlavie – dragostea frăţească, iar la dragostea frăţească – dragostea de oameni. Căci dacă aceste lucruri sunt într-adevăr ale voastre şi abundă printre voi, ele nu vă vor lăsa să fiţi nici ineficienţi, nici neroditori în ce priveşte cunoaşterea Domnului nostru Isus Cristos. Dar cel căruia îi lipsesc aceste lucruri este orb, sau cel puţin miop; a uitat că a primit curăţirea de vechile lui păcate. 10 De aceea, fraţilor, străduiţi-vă chiar mai mult să vă întăriţi chemarea şi alegerea voastră, pentru că, făcând aceste lucruri, nu vă veţi împiedica niciodată! 11 Căci astfel vă va fi acordată din belşug intrarea în Împărăţia[a] veşnică a Domnului şi Mântuitorului nostru Isus Cristos.

Martori ai slavei lui Cristos

12 De aceea voi fi gata să vă reamintesc întotdeauna aceste lucruri, măcar că le ştiţi şi sunteţi bine fundamentaţi în adevărul pe care-l deţineţi. 13 Dar consider că este drept ca, atâta timp cât sunt în cortul[b] acesta, să vă reîmprospătez memoria, 14 întrucât ştiu că mutarea cortului meu este iminentă, după cum mi-a făcut clar Domnul nostru Isus Cristos. 15 Mă voi strădui deci să vă fac să păstraţi în amintire aceste lucruri şi după plecarea mea.

16 Căci v-am făcut cunoscută puterea şi venirea Domnului nostru Isus Cristos, nu urmând nişte mituri alcătuite cu îndemânare, ci noi am fost martori oculari ai măreţiei Lui. 17 El a primit onoare şi slavă de la Dumnezeu Tatăl, atunci când, din slava sublimă, I s-a adresat un glas care zicea: „Acesta este Fiul Meu preaiubit în Care-Mi găsesc plăcerea!“[c] 18 Noi înşine am auzit acest glas adresându-se din cer, în timp ce eram cu El pe muntele cel sfânt. 19 Şi avem, de asemenea, mesajul profetic demn de încredere, la care bine faceţi că luaţi aminte, pentru că este ca o lampă care luminează într-un loc întunecos, până când zorii şi steaua de dimineaţă vor răsări în inimile voastre. 20 Înainte de toate, trebuie să ştiţi că nici o profeţie din Scriptură nu s-a născut din propria imaginaţie[d] a cuiva. 21 Căci nici o profeţie n-a fost adusă vreodată prin voia omului, ci oamenii au vorbit de la Dumnezeu, conduşi de Duhul Sfânt.

Simon Peter, a servant(A) and apostle of Jesus Christ,(B)

To those who through the righteousness(C) of our God and Savior Jesus Christ(D) have received a faith as precious as ours:

Grace and peace be yours in abundance(E) through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.(F)

Confirming One’s Calling and Election

His divine power(G) has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him(H) who called us(I) by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises,(J) so that through them you may participate in the divine nature,(K) having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.(L)

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;(M) and to knowledge, self-control;(N) and to self-control, perseverance;(O) and to perseverance, godliness;(P) and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.(Q) For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive(R) in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.(S) But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,(T) forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.(U)

10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling(V) and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,(W) 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom(X) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(Y)

Prophecy of Scripture

12 So I will always remind you of these things,(Z) even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth(AA) you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory(AB) as long as I live in the tent of this body,(AC) 14 because I know that I will soon put it aside,(AD) as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.(AE) 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure(AF) you will always be able to remember these things.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power,(AG) but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.(AH) 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”[b](AI) 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.(AJ)

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable,(AK) and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light(AL) shining in a dark place, until the day dawns(AM) and the morning star(AN) rises in your hearts.(AO) 20 Above all, you must understand(AP) that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God(AQ) as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.(AR)
