(Зач. 64) Сі́монъ Пе́тръ, ра́бъ и посла́нникъ Іису́съ Христо́въ, равноче́стную съ на́ми получи́вшимъ вѣ́ру въ пра́вдѣ Бо́га на́шего и Спа́са Іису́са Христа́:

¹

Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

²

благода́ть ва́мъ и ми́ръ да умно́жится въ позна́ніи Бо́га, и Христа́ Іису́са Го́спода на́шего.

²

Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

³

Я́ко вся́ на́мъ боже́ственныя си́лы Єго́, я́же къ животу́ и благоче́стію, по́дана ра́зумомъ [позна́ніємъ] призва́вшаго на́съ сла́вою и добродѣ́телію,

³

seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us through glory and virtue;

⁴

и́миже честна́я на́мъ и вели́кая обѣтова́нія дарова́шася, да си́хъ ра́ди бу́дете боже́ственнаго прича́стницы єстества́, отбѣ́гше, я́же въ мі́рѣ, по́хотныя тли́:

⁴

whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

⁵

и въ са́моє же сіє́, тща́ніє все́ привне́сше, подади́те въ вѣ́рѣ ва́шей добродѣ́тель, въ добродѣ́тели же ра́зумъ,

⁵

Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;

⁶

въ ра́зумѣ же воздержа́ніє, въ воздержа́ніи же терпѣ́ніє, въ терпѣ́ніи же благоче́стіє,

⁶

and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness;

⁷

во благоче́стіи же братолю́біє, въ братолю́біи же любо́вь.

⁷

and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.

⁸

Сія́ бо су́щая въ ва́съ и мно́жащаяся, не пра́здныхъ ниже́ безпло́дныхъ сотворя́тъ вы́ въ Го́спода на́шего Іису́са Христа́ позна́ніє:

⁸

For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹

єму́же бо нѣ́сть си́хъ, слѣ́пъ є́сть, мжа́й, забве́ніє пріє́мъ очище́нія дре́внихъ свои́хъ грѣхо́въ.

⁹

For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

¹⁰

(Зач. 65) Тѣ́мже па́че, бра́тіє, потщи́теся извѣ́стно ва́ше зва́ніє и избра́ніє твори́ти: сія́ бо творя́ще, не и́мате согрѣши́ти никогда́же,

¹⁰

Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:

¹¹

си́це бо оби́лно припода́стся ва́мъ вхо́дъ въ вѣ́чноє Ца́рство Го́спода на́шего и Спа́са Іису́са Христа́.

¹¹

for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

¹²

Сего́ ра́ди не облѣню́ся воспомина́ти при́сно ва́мъ о си́хъ, а́ще и вѣ́дите, и утвержде́ни єсте́ въ настоя́щей и́стинѣ.

¹²

Wherefore I shall not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with you.

¹³

Пра́ведно бо мню́, доне́лѣже є́смь въ се́мъ тѣлеси́, возставля́ти ва́съ воспомина́ніємъ,

¹³

And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

¹⁴

вѣ́дый, я́ко ско́ро є́сть отложе́ніє тѣлесе́ моєго́, я́коже и Госпо́дь на́шъ Іису́съ Христо́съ сказа́ мнѣ́.

¹⁴

knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me.

¹⁵

Потщу́ся же и всегда́ имѣ́ти ва́съ по моє́мъ исхо́дѣ па́мять о си́хъ твори́ти.

¹⁵

Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance.

¹⁶

Не ухищре́ннымъ бо ба́снемъ послѣ́довавше сказа́хомъ ва́мъ си́лу и прише́ствіє Го́спода на́шего Іису́са Христа́, но самови́дцы бы́вше вели́чествія О́наго.

¹⁶

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

¹⁷

Пріє́мъ бо от Бо́га Отца́ че́сть и сла́ву, гла́су прише́дшу къ Нему́ такову́ от велелѣ́пныя сла́вы: Се́й є́сть Сы́нъ Мо́й возлю́бленный, о Не́мже А́зъ благоизво́лихъ.

¹⁷

For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:

¹⁸

И се́й гла́съ мы́ слы́шахомъ съ небесе́ сше́дшь, съ Ни́мъ су́ще на горѣ́ святѣ́й.

¹⁸

and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.

¹⁹

И и́мамы извѣ́стнѣйшеє проро́ческоє сло́во: єму́же внима́юще я́коже свѣти́лу сія́ющу въ те́мнѣмъ мѣ́стѣ, до́брѣ творите́, до́ндеже де́нь озари́тъ, и денни́ца возсія́єтъ въ сердца́хъ ва́шихъ,

¹⁹

And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the daystar arise in your hearts:

²⁰

(Зач. 66) сіє́ пре́жде вѣ́дуще, я́ко вся́ко проро́чество кни́жноє по своєму́ ска́занію не быва́єтъ.

²⁰

knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.

²¹

Ни бо́ во́лею бы́сть когда́ человѣ́комъ проро́чество, но от Свята́го Ду́ха просвѣща́єми глаго́лаша святі́и Бо́жіи человѣ́цы.

²¹

For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spake, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
