1ܫܡܥܘܢ ܦܛܪܘܤ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܘܝܬ ܒܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܡܢ ܐܫܬܘܝܘ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
1Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܢܤܓܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܘܘܕܥܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3ܐܝܟ ܡܢ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܚܝܐ ܘܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܒܝܕ ܫܘܘܕܥܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܢ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܀
3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4ܕܒܐܝܕܝܗܝܢ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܘܝܩܝܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܝܗܒ ܕܒܝܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܕܟܝܢܐ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܟܕ ܥܪܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܒܠܐ ܕܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ ܀
4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5ܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܩܠܛܥܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܥܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܘܤܦܘ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܪܘܬܐ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܀
5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܡܚܡܤܢܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܡܤܢܢܘܬܐ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܚܡܬ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܪܚܡܬ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܀
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܫܟܝܚܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܝܠܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܡܩܝܡܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܘܘܕܥܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܫܟܝܚܢ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܕܛܥܐ ܕܘܟܝܐ ܕܚܛܗܘܗܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܀
9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10ܘܥܠ ܗܝ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܚܝ ܝܨܦܘ ܕܒܝܕ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܛܒܐ ܩܪܝܬܟܘܢ ܘܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܫܪܪܬܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܡܫܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܝܗܒܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12ܘܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܥܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܕ ܛܒ ܐܦ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܀
12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13ܕܟܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܒܪܬ ܠܝ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܒܦܓܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܥܝܪܟܘܢ ܒܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܀
13Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14ܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܘܢܕܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܝ ܒܥܓܠ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܘܕܥܢܝ ܀
14Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15ܝܨܦ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܡܦܩܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܀
15Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܒܬܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܕܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܙܠܝܢܢ ܐܘܕܥܢܟܘܢ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܀
16For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
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 ܀
17For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܩܠܐ ܫܡܥܢܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀
18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
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 ܀
19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20ܟܕ ܗܕܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܐ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܀
20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܡܬܘܡ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܬܢܓܕܝܢ ܡܠܠܘ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
