(Заⷱ҇ ѯ҃и҃.) Сїѐ оу҆жѐ, возлю́бленнїи, второ́е ва́мъ пишꙋ̀ посла́нїе, въ ни́хже возбꙋжда́ю воспомина́нїемъ ва́шъ чи́стый смы́слъ,

¹

This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;

²

помѧнꙋ́ти пре́жде речє́нныѧ глаго́лы ѿ ст҃ы́хъ прⷪ҇рѡ́къ, и҆ а҆пⷭ҇лъ ва́шихъ за́повѣдь гдⷭ҇а и҆ сп҃са:

²

that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles:

³

сїѐ пре́жде вѣ́дѧще, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїидꙋ́тъ въ послѣ̑днїѧ днѝ рꙋга́телє, по свои́хъ по́хотѣхъ ходѧ́ще

³

knowing this first, that in the end of days mockers shall come, walking after their own lusts,

⁴

и҆ глаго́люще: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть ѡ҆бѣтова́нїе прише́ствїѧ є҆гѡ̀, ѿне́лѣже бо ѻ҆тцы̀ оу҆спо́ша, всѧ̑ та́кѡ пребыва́ютъ ѿ нача́ла созда́нїѧ.

⁴

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.

⁵

Таи́тсѧ бо и҆̀мъ сїѐ хотѧ́щымъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ небеса̀ бѣ́ша и҆спе́рва, и҆ землѧ̀ ѿ воды̀ и҆ водо́ю [и҆ посредѣ̀ воды̀] соста́влена, бж҃їимъ сло́вомъ:

⁵

For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;

⁶

тѣ́мже тогда́шнїи мі́ръ, водо́ю потопле́нъ бы́въ, поги́бе.

⁶

by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

⁷

А҆ нн҃ѣшнѧѧ небеса̀ и҆ землѧ̀ тѣ́мже сло́вомъ сокровє́на сꙋ́ть, ѻ҆гню̀ блюдѡ́ма на де́нь сꙋда̀ и҆ поги́бели нечести́выхъ человѣ̑къ.

⁷

but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by his word have been stored up, reserved for fire against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

⁸

Є҆ди́но же сїѐ да не оу҆таи́тсѧ ва́съ, возлю́бленнїи, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́нъ де́нь пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ты́сѧща лѣ́тъ, и҆ ты́сѧща лѣ́тъ ꙗ҆́кѡ де́нь є҆ди́нъ.

⁸

But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

⁹

Не косни́тъ гдⷭ҇ь ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ, ꙗ҆́коже нѣ́цыи коснѣ́нїе мнѧ́тъ: но долготе́рпитъ на на́съ, не хотѧ̀ да кто̀ поги́бнетъ, но да всѝ въ покаѧ́нїе прїи́дꙋтъ.

⁹

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

¹⁰

Прїи́детъ же де́нь гдⷭ҇ень ꙗ҆́кѡ та́ть въ нощѝ, въ ѻ҆́ньже небеса̀ оу҆́бѡ съ шꙋ́момъ ми́мѡ и҆́дꙋтъ [по́йдꙋтъ], стїхі̑и же сжига́ємы разорѧ́тсѧ, землѧ́ же и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на не́й дѣла̀ сгорѧ́тъ.

¹⁰

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

¹¹

Си̑мъ оу҆̀бо всѣ̑мъ разорѧ́ємымъ, ка̑цѣмъ подоба́етъ бы́ти ва́мъ во ст҃ы́хъ пребыва́нїихъ и҆ бл҃гоче́стїихъ,

¹¹

Seeing then that these things are all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness,

¹²

ча́ющымъ и҆ скорѣ́е бы́ти жела́ющымъ прише́ствїѧ бж҃їѧгѡ днѐ, є҆гѡ́же ра́ди небеса̀ жегѡ́ма разорѧ́тсѧ, и҆ стїхі̑и ѡ҆палѧ́ємы раста́ютсѧ;

¹²

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

¹³

Но́ва же нб҃сѐ и҆ но́вы землѝ по ѡ҆бѣтова́нїю є҆гѡ̀ ча́емъ, въ ни́хже пра́вда живе́тъ.

¹³

But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

¹⁴

Тѣ́мже, возлю́бленнїи, си́хъ ча́юще, потщи́тесѧ нескве́рни и҆ непоро́чни томꙋ̀ ѡ҆брѣсти́сѧ въ ми́рѣ,

¹⁴

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.

¹⁵

и҆ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ долготерпѣ́нїе спⷭ҇нїе непщꙋ́йте, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ возлю́бленный на́шъ бра́тъ па́ѵелъ по да́ннѣй є҆мꙋ̀ премⷣрости написа̀ ва́мъ,

¹⁵

And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;

¹⁶

ꙗ҆́коже и҆ во всѣ́хъ свои́хъ посла́нїихъ, глаго́лѧ въ ни́хъ ѡ҆ си́хъ: въ ни́хже сꙋ́ть неꙋдо́бь разꙋ̑мна нѣ̑каѧ, ꙗ҆̀же ненаꙋче́ни и҆ неꙋтвержде́ни развраща́ютъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ прѡ́чаѧ писа̑нїѧ, къ свое́й поги́бели и҆́мъ.

¹⁶

as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unsteadfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

¹⁷

Вы́ же оу҆̀бо, возлю́бленнїи, предвѣ́дѧще храни́тесѧ, да не ле́стїю беззако́нныхъ сведе́ни бы́вше, ѿпаде́те своегѡ̀ оу҆твержде́нїѧ,

¹⁷

Ye therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own steadfastness.

¹⁸

но да расте́те во блгⷣти и҆ ра́зꙋмѣ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ и҆ сп҃са і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀. Томꙋ̀ сла́ва и҆ нн҃ѣ и҆ въ де́нь вѣ́ка. А҆ми́нь.

¹⁸

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
