Voice setup help

Read uses your browser’s device speech, without a provider key. Studio creates media through a paid provider using your own key. INjeel cannot install voices or guarantee any accent, language, or Syriac voice. System settings and voices exposed to a browser can differ.

iPhone and iPad: In Settings → Accessibility, look for Read & Speak → Voices (called Spoken Content on older versions). Choose a language and dialect. For downloadable enhanced voices, Apple also documents VoiceOver → Speech → Add New Language; choose a voice/quality and allow the download to finish on Wi-Fi. You do not need to enable VoiceOver to use INjeel. Apple’s current guide · iOS/iPadOS voice downloads

Android: Open Settings → Accessibility → Text-to-speech output. Choose the preferred engine and language; use its voice-data/download options where available. Names and paths vary by manufacturer/engine; search Settings for “text-to-speech” if needed. Google’s settings and voice-data guide

macOS: Apple menu → System Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak. Choose System voice; open its additional voice controls to browse languages, country/region variants and downloadable voices. Wait until downloads finish, then choose the voice. Older versions may use Spoken Content. Apple’s Mac voice guide

Return here and reopen the voice selector. If new voices do not appear, refresh or reopen the app/browser. Select the voice and adjust Speed here; a system default need not override an explicit app selection. Android browsers may use their speech engine rather than a forced voice. Some voices use network services; availability and pronunciation depend on your device/browser, not the scripture’s historical pronunciation.

Shimon Petros, a servant and apostle of Y'shua the Mashiyach, to those who have been counted worthy of a faith equal in honor with us, by the righteousness of our Master and our Life-Giver Y'shua the Mashiyach;1

  1. Study Second Peter was not part of the original Peshitta, the twenty-two-book New Testament of the Syriac churches. The text in this edition is the later Syriac translation, as printed by the Bible Society.
2

܀

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach,

3

܀

as the one who has given us all things that belong to the power of Elohim for life and the fear of Elohim, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence,

4

܀

by which he has given you great and precious promises, so that by these you may become partakers of the nature of Elohim, while you flee from the corruption of the lust that is in the world.

5

܀

And for this very reason, while you bring in all diligence, add to your faith excellence; and to excellence, knowledge;

6

܀

and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, patience; and to patience, the fear of Elohim;

7

܀

and to the fear of Elohim, affection for the brotherhood; and to affection for the brotherhood, love.

8

܀

For when these are found in you and abound, they make you neither idle nor without fruit in the knowledge of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach.

9

܀

For he in whom these are not found is blind and does not see, and has forgotten the cleansing of his former sins.

10

܀

And for this, my brothers, be all the more diligent that by your good works you make your calling and election sure; for when you do these things you will never fall.

11

܀

For in this way entrance will be richly given to you into the everlasting kingdom of our Master and Life-Giver Y'shua the Mashiyach.

12

܀

And for this reason I am not weary of continually reminding you of these things, though you know them well and are established in this truth.

13

܀

And it seems right to me, so long as I am in this body, to awaken you by reminder;

14

܀

since I know that the putting off of my body is soon, as also our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach has made known to me.

15

܀

And I am careful that you also always have it, that even after my departure you will be making the remembrance of these things.

16

܀

For we did not go after fables crafted with skill when we made known to you the power and coming of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach, but it was when we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.

17

܀

For when he received from Elohim the Father honor and glory, when a voice came to him like this from the majestic glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased;

18

܀

we also heard this voice that came to him from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

19

܀

And we also have the sure word of prophecy, which you do well when you look to it as to a lamp that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the sun rises in your hearts;

20

܀

knowing this first, that no prophecy of the writing is of its own exposition.1

  1. Murdock The Greek of this difficult passage reads: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Syriac requires . . . . . , for . . . . . .; and then, supposing . . . . . to depend on . . . . . . . . . . . . . ., it obtains the significant interpretation, that no prophecy explains itself, and consequently cannot well be understood, until its fulfillment shall make it clear.
21

܀

For prophecy never came by the will of a son of man, but holy men of Elohim spoke as they were moved by the Ruach haKodesh.

Not in the original Peshitta canon. The Syriac here is the later translation printed with the New Testament.
