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.
Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice 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 accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ 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 of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.
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
By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
5 ni tu naki bi ka ti mi gbengbene bi ni ndu tie ndi ndi ni tie ndindi ni yosron bi ndu nho.
And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, 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 knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
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 godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
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 if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge 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 that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from 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, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom 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.
For which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed 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.
But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
14 mi toh ni vi nton tsa me mi ka ikpa yi don na wa yesu Almasihu a tsoro me.
Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
15 me ti ni gbegble mu chachu du yi kata tika ikpi beyi a u meta kayi don.
And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory 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 we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
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 he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
18 ki wo lan yirji shu niton wa ki na he baba ni tita u tsatsra.
And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were 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 the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star 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
Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
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 prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.
