1Simon Peter, bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have received like precious faith with us through [the] righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
1ܫܡܥܘܢ ܦܛܪܘܤ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܘܝܬ ܒܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܡܢ ܐܫܬܘܝܘ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
2Grace and peace be multiplied to you in [the] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
2ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܢܤܓܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܘܘܕܥܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
3As his divine power has given to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us by glory and virtue,
3ܐܝܟ ܡܢ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܚܝܐ ܘܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܒܝܕ ܫܘܘܕܥܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܢ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܀
4through which he has given to us the greatest and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of [the] divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
4ܕܒܐܝܕܝܗܝܢ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܘܝܩܝܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܝܗܒ ܕܒܝܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܕܟܝܢܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܟܕ ܥܪܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܒܠܐ ܕܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ ܀
5But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
5ܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܩܠܛܥܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܥܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܘܤܦܘ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܀
6in knowledge temperance, in temperance endurance, in endurance godliness,
6ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܡܚܡܤܢܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܡܤܢܢܘܬܐ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
7in godliness brotherly love, in brotherly love love:
7ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܚܡܬ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܪܚܡܬ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܀
8for these things existing and abounding in you make [you] to be neither idle nor unfruitful as regards the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
8ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܫܟܝܚܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܝܠܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܡܩܝܡܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܘܘܕܥܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
9for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins.
9ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܫܟܝܚܢ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܕܛܥܐ ܕܘܟܝܐ ܕܚܛܗܘܗܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܀
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;
10ܘܥܠ ܗܝ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܚܝ ܝܨܦܘ ܕܒܝܕ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܛܒܐ ܩܪܝܬܟܘܢ ܘܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܫܪܪܬܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܡܫܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
11for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you.
11ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܝܗܒܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
12Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing [them] and established in the present truth.
12ܘܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܥܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܕ ܛܒ ܐܦ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܀
13But I account it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance,
13ܕܟܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܒܪܬ ܠܝ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܒܦܓܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܥܝܪܟܘܢ ܒܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܀
14knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily [to take place], as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me;
14ܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܘܢܕܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܝ ܒܥܓܠ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܘܕܥܢܝ ܀
15but I will use diligence, that after my departure ye should have also, at any time, [in your power] to call to mind these things.
15ܝܨܦ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܡܦܩܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܀
16For we have not made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly imagined fables, but having been eyewitnesses of *his* majesty.
16ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܒܬܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܕܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܙܠܝܢܢ ܐܘܕܥܢܟܘܢ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܀
17For he received from God [the] Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom *I* have found my delight;
17ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܢܤܒ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܟܕ ܩܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܦܐܝܬ ܒܪܒܘܬܗ ܕܗܢܘ ܒܪܝ ܗܘ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܐܨܛܒܝܬ ܀
18and this voice *we* heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
18ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܩܠܐ ܫܡܥܢܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀
19And we have the prophetic word [made] surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until [the] day dawn and [the] morning star arise in your hearts;
19ܘܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܐܦ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܕ ܒܗ ܚܝܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܫܪܓܐ ܕܡܢܗܪ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܥܡܘܛܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܝܡܡܐ ܢܢܗܪ ܘܫܡܫܐ ܢܕܢܚ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܀
20knowing this first, that [the scope of] no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation,
20ܟܕ ܗܕܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܐ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܀
21for prophecy was not ever uttered by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of [the] Holy Spirit.
21ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܡܬܘܡ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܬܢܓܕܝܢ ܡܠܠܘ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
