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.
Symeon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to them who have obtained like precious faith with us, through 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.
Favor and peace be multiplied to you, through the knowledge 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 his divine power has gifted to us all things which are necessary to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to 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
On account of which, the greatest and most precious promises are freely given to us, that by these we might be made partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world, through lust.
5 ni tu naki bi ka ti mi gbengbene bi ni ndu tie ndi ndi ni tie ndindi ni yosron bi ndu nho.
And for this very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;
6 ni vutu ni tu yotutya bi be ka yotutya nivu sonyo ni mi vu sonro bi ka yotu ni hwu irji.
and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to 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 to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, 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 in you, and abounding, make you to be neither slothful, 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
But he who has not these things, is blind, shutting his eyes, having become forgetful of the purification 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, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never fall;
and thus there shall be richly ministered to you, an entrance 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.
Wherefore, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, although you know, and are 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.
Yes, I think it fit, 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.
knowing, that the putting off of this, my tabernacle, is soon to happen, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
15 me ti ni gbegble mu chachu du yi kata tika ikpi beyi a u meta kayi don.
Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
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 followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his grandeur;
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 when he received from God the Father honor and glory, a vice to this effect came to him from the magnificent glory, "This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight."
18 ki wo lan yirji shu niton wa ki na he baba ni tita u tsatsra.
And this voice we heard come from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain:
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.
so we have the prophetic word more firm; to which you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning 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
Knowing this first, that no prophecy brought by the will of man;
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.
but the holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
