3:1 ⧉ ⤴︎ Ταύτην ἤδη , ἀγαπητοί , δευτέραν ὑμῖν γράφω ἐπιστολήν , ἐν αἷς διεγείρω ὑμῶν ἐν ὑπομνήσει τὴν εἰλικρινῆ διάνοιαν ,
Hanc ecce vobis , carissimi , secundam scribo epistolam , in quibus vestram excito in commonitione sinceram mentem :
ወዛቲ ይእቲ አኀውየ ዳግሚትየ ዘጸሐፍኩ ለክሙ መጽሐፈ ከመ አንሥእክሙ በዘክሮ ወትዕቀብዋ በልብክሙ ለጽድቅ ።
This 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
3:2 ⧉ ⤴︎ μνησθῆναι τῶν προειρημένων ῥημάτων ὑπὸ τῶν ἁγίων προφητῶν καὶ τῆς τῶν ἀποστόλων ὑμῶν ἐντολῆς τοῦ κυρίου καὶ σωτῆρος ·
ut memores sitis eorum , quae praedixi , verborum , a sanctis prophetis et apostolorum vestrorum , praeceptorum Domini et Salvatoris .
ወከመ ትዘከሩ ቃለ ነቢያት ቀደምት ቅዱሳን ዘይቤሉ ወትእዛዘ እግዚእነ ወመድኀኒነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ዘአዘዘ ለነ ለሐዋርያት ።
that 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,
3:3 ⧉ ⤴︎ τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες , ὅτι ἐλεύσονται ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐν ἐμπαιγμονῇ ἐμπαῖκται κατὰ τὰς ἰδίας αὐτῶν ἐπιθυμίας πορευόμενοι
Hoc primum scientes , quod venient in novissimis diebus in deceptione illusores , juxta proprias concupiscentias ambulantes ,
ወዘንተኒ ቅድሙ አእምሮ ከመ ሀለዎሙ ይምጽኡ በደኃሪ መዋዕል መስተአብዳን ለአስተአብዶ እለ የሐውሩ በፍትወተ ልቦሙ ወይብሉ አይቴ ውእቱ ቃሉ ዘይቤ ከመ ሀለዎ ይምጻእ ።
knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
3:4 ⧉ ⤴︎ καὶ λέγοντες , ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ ; ἀφ’ ἧς γὰρ οἱ πατέρες ἐκοιμήθησαν , πάντα οὕτως διαμένει ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς κτίσεως .
dicentes : Ubi est promissio , aut adventus ejus ? ex quo enim patres dormierunt , omnia sic perseverant ab initio creaturae .
ናሁ እመሰ አበዊነ ቀደምት ሞቱ እስመ ኵሉ ግብር ሀለወ በከመ ሀሎ እምፍጥረተ ዓለም ።
and 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.”
3:5 ⧉ ⤴︎ λανθάνει γὰρ αὐτοὺς τοῦτο θέλοντας , ὅτι οὐρανοὶ ἦσαν ἔκπαλαι καὶ γῆ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ δι’ ὕδατος συνεστῶσα τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ λόγῳ ,
Latet enim eos hoc volentes , quod caeli erant prius , et terra de aqua , et per aquam consistens Dei verbo :
ወኢየአምርዎ ለዝንቱ በፈቃዶሙ ከመ ሰማያትኒ ተፈጥራ እምትካት ወምድርኒ እምነ ማይ ወበማይ ጸንዐት በቃለ እግዚአብሔር ።
For 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,
3:6 ⧉ ⤴︎ δι’ ὧν ὁ τότε κόσμος ὕδατι κατακλυσθεὶς ἀπώλετο ·
per quae , ille tunc mundus aqua inundatus , periit .
ወዓለመ ትካትኒ ቦቱ አጥፍአ በማየ አይኅ ።
by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
3:7 ⧉ ⤴︎ οἱ δὲ νῦν οὐρανοὶ καὶ ἡ γῆ τῷ αὐτῷ λόγῳ τεθησαυρισμένοι εἰσὶν πυρί , τηρούμενοι εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως καὶ ἀπωλείας τῶν ἀσεβῶν ἀνθρώπων .
Caeli autem , qui nunc sunt , et terra eodem verbo repositi sunt , igni reservati in diem judicii , et perditionis impiorum hominum .
ወይእዜኒ ሰማይ ወምድር በውእቱ ቃል ዝጉባን ለእሳት ወዕቁባን እሙንቱ እስከ ዕለተ ደይን ወድምሳሴ ኃጥኣን ሰብእ ።
But 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.
3:8 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἓν δὲ τοῦτο μὴ λανθανέτω ὑμᾶς , ἀγαπητοί , ὅτι μία ἡμέρα παρὰ κυρίῳ ὡς χίλια ἔτη καὶ χίλια ἔτη ὡς ἡμέρα μία .
Unum vero hoc non lateat vos , carissimi , quia unus dies apud Dominum sicut mille anni , et mille anni sicut dies unus .
ወዘንተ ባሕቱ ኢትርስዑ አኀዊነ እስመ አሐቲ ዕለት በኀበ እግዚአብሔር ከመ ዐሠርቱ ምእት ዓመት ወዐሠርቱ ምእት ዓመት ከመ አሐቲ ዕለት ።
But 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.
3:9 ⧉ ⤴︎ οὐ βραδύνει κύριος τῆς ἐπαγγελίας , ὥς τινες βραδύτητα ἡγοῦνται , ἀλλὰ μακροθυμεῖ δι’ ὑμᾶς , μὴ βουλόμενός τινας ἀπολέσθαι ἀλλὰ πάντας εἰς μετάνοιαν χωρῆσαι .
Non tardat Dominus promissionem suam , sicut quidam existimant : sed patienter agit propter vos , nolens aliquos perire , sed omnes ad poenitentiam reverti .
ኢያጐነዲ እግዚአብሔር ቃለ ዘነበበ እስመቦ እለ ይብሉ ከመ ይጐነዲ ወባሕቱ ይትዔገሥ በእንቲኣሆሙ እስመ ኢይፈቅድ መነሂ ያማስን አላ ይነስሑ ለኵሉ ሰብእ ያርሕብ ።
The 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.
3:10 ⧉ ⤴︎ Ἥξει δὲ ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης , ἐν ᾗ οἱ οὐρανοὶ ῥοιζηδὸν παρελεύσονται , στοιχεῖα δὲ καυσούμενα λυθήσεται , καὶ γῆ καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ ἔργα κατακαήσεται .
Adveniet autem dies Domini ut fur : in quo caeli magno impetu transient , elementa vero calore solventur , terra autem et quae in ipsa sunt opera , exurentur .
ወዕለቱሰ ለእግዚአብሔር ግብተ ትመጽእ ከመ ሰራቂ እንተ ባቲ ሰማያትኒ ይትረኀዋ ወይሴስላ ወኵሉ ፍጥረት ዘቀዲሙ በውዕየተ እሳት ይትመሰው ወምድርኒ ወኵሉ ዘላዕሌሃ ግብር ይውዒ ።
But 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.
3:11 ⧉ ⤴︎ τούτων οὖν πάντων λυομένων ποταποὺς δεῖ ὑπάρχειν ὑμᾶς ἐν ἁγίαις ἀναστροφαῖς καὶ εὐσεβείαις ,
Cum igitur haec omnia dissolvenda sunt , quales oportet vos esse in sanctis conversationibus , et pietatibus ,
ወዝንቱ ኵሉ ተመሲዎ ጐጕኡ ከመ ተሀልዉ በምግባር ቅዱስ ዘጽድቅ ።
Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
3:12 ⧉ ⤴︎ προσδοκῶντας καὶ σπεύδοντας τὴν παρουσίαν τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμέρας , δι’ ἣν οὐρανοὶ πυρούμενοι λυθήσονται καὶ στοιχεῖα καυσούμενα τήκεται .
exspectantes , et properantes in adventum diei Domini , per quem caeli ardentes solventur , et elementa ignis ardore tabescent ?
እንዘ ትሴፈዉ ዕለተ ምጽአቱ ለእግዚአብሔር እንተ ባቲ ሰማያትኒ ይረስና ወይትመሰዋ ወኵሉ ፍጥረት ይውዒ ወይትመሰው ።
looking 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?
3:13 ⧉ ⤴︎ καινοὺς δὲ οὐρανοὺς καὶ καινὴν γῆν κατὰ τὰ ἐπαγγέλματα αὐτοῦ προσδοκῶμεν , ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ .
Novos vero caelos , et novam terram secundum promissa ipsius exspectamus , in quibus justitia habitat .
ሐዳሳተ ሰማያተ ወሐዳሰ ምድረ ንሴፎ ዘውስቴቶን የኀድር ጽድቅ ።
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
3:14 ⧉ ⤴︎ Διό , ἀγαπητοί , ταῦτα προσδοκῶντες σπουδάσατε ἄσπιλοι καὶ ἀμώμητοι αὐτῷ εὑρεθῆναι ἐν εἰρήνῃ ,
Propter quod , carissimi , haec exspectantes , satagite immaculati , et inviolati ei inveniri in pace :
ወይእዜኒ አኀውየ ዘንተ እንዘ ትሴፈዉ ጐጕኡ ይርከብክሙ ዘእንበለ ርስሐት ወዘእንበለ ጌጋይ እንዘ ትሰናአዉ ።
Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
3:15 ⧉ ⤴︎ καὶ τὴν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν μακροθυμίαν σωτηρίαν ἡγεῖσθε , καθὼς καὶ ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἡμῶν ἀδελφὸς Παῦλος κατὰ τὴν δοθεῖσαν αὐτῷ σοφίαν ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν ,
et Domini nostri longanimitatem , salutem arbitremini : sicut et carissimus frater noster Paulus secundum datam sibi sapientiam scripsit vobis ,
ወትዕግሥቱሰ ለእግዚእነ የሀብክሙ መድኀኒተ በከመ እኁነ ጳውሎስ ዘናፈቅር ጸሐፈ ለክሙ በእንተ ዘወሀቦ እግዚአብሔር ጥበበ ።
Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,
3:16 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὡς καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς λαλῶν ἐν αὐταῖς περὶ τούτων , ἐν αἷς ἐστιν δυσνόητά τινα , ἃ οἱ ἀμαθεῖς καὶ ἀστήρικτοι στρεβλοῦσιν ὡς καὶ τὰς λοιπὰς γραφὰς πρὸς τὴν ἰδίαν αὐτῶν ἀπώλειαν .
sicut et omnibus epistolis , loquens in eis de his in quibus sunt quaedam difficilia intellectu , quae indocti et instabiles depravant , sicut et ceteras Scripturas , ad suam ipsorum perditionem .
ዘከመ ሀሎ ውስተ ኵሉ መጻሕፍቲሁ ዘነበበ ውስቴቶን በእንቲኣሁ ለዝንቱ ወዘሰ ነበቡ እሙራን ሰብእ እለ ይሌብውዎ ወእለሰ አልቦሙ ትምህርት እለ ኢለበዉ ይመይጥዎ ለቃለ መጽሐፍ ከመ ሜጥዎን ለብዙኃት መጻሕፍት ለግዕዞሙ ወያማስኑ ።
as 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.
3:17 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὑμεῖς οὖν , ἀγαπητοί , προγινώσκοντες φυλάσσεσθε ἵνα μὴ τῇ τῶν ἀθέσμων πλάνῃ συναπαχθέντες ἐκπέσητε τοῦ ἰδίου στηριγμοῦ ,
Vos igitur fratres , praescientes custodite , ne insipientium errore traducti excidatis a propria firmitate :
ወአንትሙሰ አኀዊነ አቅድሙ አእምሮ ወተዐቀቡ ከመ ኢትስሐቱ በዘኢይበቍዕ ትምህርት ከመ ኢትደቁ እምነ ምጽናዕክሙ ።
You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
3:18 ⧉ ⤴︎ αὐξάνετε δὲ ἐν χάριτι καὶ γνώσει τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ . αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ νῦν καὶ εἰς ἡμέραν αἰῶνος .
crescite vero in gratia , et in cognitione Domini nostri , et Salvatoris Jesu Christi . Ipsi gloria et nunc , et in diem aeternitatis . Amen .
ተባዝኁ በእግዚእነ ወበአኰቴቱ ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ መድኃኒነ ወእግዚአብሔር አብ ዘሎቱ ስብሐት ይእዜኒ ወዘልፈኒ ወለዓለመ ዓለም አሜን ። መልአት መልእክተ ጴጥሮስ ዳግሚት ። ወስብሐት ለእግዚአብሔር አሜን ።
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
