¹Siimeon Peetrus, Jeesuse Kristuse sulane ja apostel - neile, kelle osaks on saanud meie omaga sama kallis usk meie Jumala ja Päästja Jeesuse Kristuse õiguse läbi:

¹Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

²Armu ja rahu saagu teile rohkesti Jumala ja Jeesuse, meie Issanda tundmise kaudu!

²Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

³Tema jumalik vägi on meile kinkinud kõik, mis on vajalik eluks ja vagaduseks, tema tundmise kaudu, kes meid on kutsunud omaenese kirkuse ja väärikusega.

³seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;

⁴Sel viisil on meile kingitud kõige kallimad ja suuremad tõotused, et te nende kaudu võiksite põgeneda kaduvusest, mis valitseb maailmas himude tõttu, ja saada jumaliku loomuse osaliseks.

⁴by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

⁵Just seepärast te peategi olema kõigiti valmis arendama oma usus voorust, vooruses tunnetust,

⁵Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

⁶tunnetuses kasinust, kasinuses kannatlikkust, kannatlikkuses vagadust,

⁶and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;

⁷vagaduses vennalikkust, vennalikkuses armastust,

⁷and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

⁸sest kui teil seda kõike on, ja veel rikkalikult, siis te ei jää laisaks ega viljatuks meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse tundmises;

⁸For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹kuid kellel seda pole, on pime ja lühinägelik; ta on unustanud, et on puhastatud oma endistest pattudest.

⁹For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

¹⁰Seepärast, vennad, olge veelgi innukamad kindlustama oma kutsumist ja äravalimist, sest kui te seda teete, ei väärata te iial.

¹⁰Therefore, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

¹¹Sest nõnda võimaldatakse teile takistamatu sissepääs meie Issanda ja Päästja Jeesuse Kristuse igavesse kuningriiki.

¹¹For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

¹²Seepärast ma tahan teile kõike seda üha meelde tuletada, kuigi te seda küll teate ja olete kinnitatud teile antud tões.

¹²Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.

¹³Ma pean aga õigeks teid meenutamise abil virgutada, niikaua kui ma olen selles telgis,

¹³I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;

¹⁴teades, et mu telgi mahavõtmine on varsti käes, nagu ka meie Issand Jeesus Kristus on mulle seda teatanud.

¹⁴knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.

¹⁵Aga ma tahan hoolt kanda, et teie igal ajal ka pärast minu lahkumist võiksite neid asju mäletada.

¹⁵Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.

¹⁶Meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse väge ja tulemist ei ole me teile teatanud mingeid targutavaid müüte jäljendades, vaid me oleme tema suurust näinud oma silmaga.

¹⁶For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

¹⁷Sest ta sai au ja kirkust Jumalalt Isalt, kui ilmvõrratult kirkuselt kostis talle hääl: 'See on minu armas Poeg, temast on mul hea meel!' -

¹⁷For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35

¹⁸Ja seda häält me kuulsime tulevat taevast, kui me olime koos temaga pühal mäel.

¹⁸We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

¹⁹Ja nii on meil midagi kindlamat prohvetisõnast ja te teete hästi, kui panete tähele seda nagu lampi, mis paistab hämaras paigas, kuni päev hakkab hahetama ning koidutäht tõuseb teie südameis.

¹⁹We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

²⁰Seda mõistke esmalt, et ühtki prohvetiennustust Pühakirjas ei või omapäi seletada,

²⁰knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

²¹sest iialgi pole ühtegi prohvetiennustust esile toodud inimese tahtel, vaid Pühast Vaimust kantuina on inimesed rääkinud, saades sõnumi Jumala käest.

²¹For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
