2 Pita 1
1 sima Bitru igra nivren u tondu yesu kristi ba yarson christi ni bi aw kikpa. yosron ni mi ti ndi ndi trsimbu ni yesu almasihu.
Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 ni ndu ti ndindi ndu sisron bi nho nigon u toh ijri ni yesu bachiimbu.
Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement of God and of Jesus our Lord!
3 didi ikpi bi sisenri ndidima a nota ntu toh irji wadi a ota zu ni gbiresan u bima.
As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness,
4 ni tuki a yo nyu bi rigmar didima nita wu du khi kpande ubu ni irji. wa khi dju nimi memeteh u ibrji ni gbublua wa a ii ye u sorkpa
through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.
5 ni tu naki bi ka ti mi gbengbene bi ni ndu tie ndi ndi ni tie ndindi ni yosron bi ndu nho.
And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,
6 ni vutu ni tu yotutya bi be ka yotutya nivu sonyo ni mi vu sonro bi ka yotu ni hwu irji.
and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,
7 ni mi hwu irji br ka yotu ni son bebeh umrivyayi ni tu son bebe u mrivayi ni tu son bebe u umrivayi be ka yoyu ni son kpabi.
and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;
8 ikpi beyi ba ta he nimi bi; u ba gbronni mi bi indji ribi na kudjur na ni tui toh u irji bu yesu Almasihu sun ni krju ko ka sun hanma ni ngrji na ni toh bachrimbr yesu.
for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,
9 indji wa a wabi kpi yi hanama ani ya ikpe wa ahe whiwhir mi gen kawa yar shishi. a kpa ri su andi ba ngwala rju ni mi min chiche latre mba
for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
10 nit kima mrivaye bi ka te ni gbegble bi wawu de toh ni yao bia ni chur bia beta ti kpi beyi be na kubuza na
wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,
for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 ni tu nakima me son si gbeh chachu de ti yi kaa ni yu kpi be yi me toh de be toh mba naki u be ka tigbegble ni najaaji u zezah.
Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth,
13 ime me rimeren naki du mi chon yi du yi tika ni kpi be yi u me rihe ni mi kpayi.
and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding [you],
14 mi toh ni vi nton tsa me mi ka ikpa yi don na wa yesu Almasihu a tsoro me.
having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,
15 me ti ni gbegble mu chachu du yi kata tika ikpi beyi a u meta kayi don.
and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.
16 ni tu khita khi na hwu ibaltre u wuri mba na u khi hla ni yiwa gbegble ni ye irji bu yesu Almasihu u khta khto gbegble ma.
For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty —
17 na kima a kpah gibresan u bima ni irji ite bu niton wa nlan a ye ni mi gegble u gbiresan da tere e wayi wa weh a hi iveremu u sonmu wa ani sime sonro u njaaji.
for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: 'This is My Son — the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;'
18 ki wo lan yirji shu niton wa ki na he baba ni tita u tsatsra.
and this voice we — we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount.
19 khi he ni ilan tere wa khi toh ani ye njaaji khi ta yo soron ni mba ani he na ilu wa a ni kpah ni bua na tsitse wa ani kpah ni buu ble ani kpah ni mi sunron bi.
And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise — in your hearts;
20 bika to wayi arjini mumla mu andi be toh kima ni mumlamu ba idi. wawuu a tozu na he ni tu kpeiri zan indji mla du toh ba hla itereri wa ani na ye ni kpakyeme u idi u idi tu tere
this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,
21 ba nati bre tozu ni sonsron ni tu irji wa mba he niibrji u tsa indji na ni ndu he naki a hi a hi brji tsatsra mba ni yo ba ni ndu ba latre rii.
for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.
