2 Pedro 1
1 Si Simon Pedro, usa ka ulipon ug apostol ni Jesu-Cristo, alang niadtong midawat sa samang hamili nga pagtuo sama sa among nadawat, pagtuo diha sa pagkamatarong sa atong Dios ug Manluluwas nga si Jesu-Cristo.
I, Simon Peter, [am writing this letter to you. I] serve Jesus Christ, and am an apostle [appointed by] him. [I am sending this letter to you] whom God has caused to believe [in Christ] just like he [caused us(exc) apostles to believe in Christ]. You and we have (equally been given the/both been given the same) privilege of believing in Jesus Christ. He [is] God, he is righteous, he is the one whom we [worship], and he is our Savior.
2 Hinaot nga ang grasya maanaa kaninyo, ug hinaot nga ang kalinaw motubo pinaagi sa kahibalo sa Dios ug kang Jesus nga atong Ginoo.
[I pray that God] will continue to act very kindly towards you, and give you (a deep/very much) [inner] peace, because you [truly] know God and Jesus, who is our Lord.
3 Ang tanang mga butang nga may kalabotan sa balaanong gahom alang sa kinabuhi ug ang pagkadiosnon gihatag kanato pinaagi sa kahibalo sa Dios, nga nagtawag kanato pinaagi sa iyang kaugalingong himaya ug kaligdong.
[God] [PRS] has given us everything [that we need] in order that we might receive [eternal] life and in order that we might [live] (in a godly way/in a way that pleases him). He gives us that by the power that he has because he is God, and he has also given it to us as a result of our knowing him. He is the wonderful and perfect one who chose us [to be his people].
4 Pinaagi niini, gihatag niya kanato ang hamili ug dagko nga mga saad. Gibuhat niya kini aron nga mahimo kamong mag-aambit diha sa balaanong kinaiyahan, aron nga kamo makalikay gikan sa pagkamadunoton nga anaa sa kalibotan tungod sa daotang mga tinguha.
Being [glorious and perfect], he has promised us [that he will do] very great and (priceless/very precious) things [for us]. [He has also promised] you that by [believing what he has promised] you will be able to act [righteously], just like God acts [righteously], and that you will be free from being morally depraved/corrupted, and that you will not be [like] those who do not believe in Christ and are morally depraved because of their desire to do things that are evil.
5 Alang niini nga hinungdan, buhata ninyo ang labing maayo aron madugangan ang kaligdong pinaagi sa inyong pagtuo, ug pinaagi sa inyong kaligdong, mao ang kahibalo.
Because God has done all that, by trying very hard, make sure that you not only believe [in Christ], but that you are also living morally good lives. And make sure that you are not only living morally good lives, but that you also know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely).
6 Pinaagi sa inyong kahibalo, idugang ang pagpugong sa kaugalingon, ug pinaagi sa inyong pagpugong sa kaugalingon, idugang ang paglahutay, ug pinaagi sa inyong paglahutay, idugang ang pagkadiosnon.
And make sure that you not only know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely), but that you also control what you say and do. And make sure that you not only control what you say and do, but that you are also steadfast/patient. And make sure that you are not only (steadfast/patient when you suffer), but that you are also godly.
7 Pinaagi sa inyong pagkadiosnon, idugang ang inigsoon nga pagbati, ug pinaagi sa inyong inigsoon nga pagbati, idugang ang gugma.
And make sure that you not only (are godly/live in a way that pleases God), but that you also have a concern for your fellow believers, as brothers and sisters [ought to have] for each other. And make sure that you not only have a concern for your fellow believers, but that you also love [others].
8 Kung kining mga butanga anaa na kaninyo ug motubo na diha kaninyo, dili na kamo mahimong baog o dili mabungahon diha sa kahibalo sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo.
If you do these [things], and if [you do them] more and more, that demonstrates that knowing our Lord Jesus Christ (is very effective/produces good results) [LIT] in your lives.
9 Apan kadtong nakulangan niining mga butanga makakita lamang kung unsa ang anaa sa duol; ug siya usa ka buta. Nahikalimtan niya ang pagpanghinlo gikan sa iyang daan nga mga sala.
If these [qualities] are not present in people, it means they are not aware [that these things are important, just like a blind person is not aware of what is around him]. They [think only about earthly matters, just like] [MET] a shortsighted person [sees clearly only things that are near]. It seems that they have forgotten that God has forgiven them for their former sinful lives.
10 Busa, mga igsoon, buhata ninyo ang labing maayo aron nga ang inyong pagkatinawag ug pagkapinili masiguro alang sa inyong kaugalingon. Kung buhaton ninyo kining mga butanga, dili kamo mangapandol.
Instead of [acting like those people], try to confirm/prove by the way you conduct your lives that you are among those whom [God] has chosen [DOU] to be his people. If you do that, you will certainly never become separated from God,
11 Niini nga paagi ang agianan pasulod didto sa walay kataposan nga gingharian sa atong Ginoo ug Manluluwas nga si Jesu-Cristo madagayaon nga igahatag kaninyo. (aiōnios g166)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
12 Busa andam ako kanunay sa pagpahinumdom kaninyo niining mga butanga, bisan tuod nasayod na kamo niini, ug bisan tuod lig-on na kamo karon diha sa kamatuoran.
I intend to keep on reminding you very frequently [HYP] about these [matters], even though you [already] know them and are firmly convinced that they are true.
13 Ang akong hunahuna nga mao kini ang husto sa pagkutaw kaninyo inubanan sa usa ka pahimangno mahitungod niining mga butanga, samtang ania pa ako niining tolda.
I consider it right that I should help you [to continually think about these matters] by reminding you [about them] as long as I am alive [EUP],
14 Kay ako nasayod nga sa umaabot akong biyaan ang akong tolda, sumala sa gipakita sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo mipakita kanako.
because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
15 Akong buhaton ang labing maayo alang kaninyo aron kanunay nga mahinumdom niining mga butanga pagkahuman sa akong pagbiya.
Moreover, I will (make every effort/try hard) [by writing these things down] to enable you to remember them at all times after I have died [EUP].
16 Kay wala kami magsunod sa malinglahon nga tumotumong mga sugilanon sa dihang magsulti kami kaninyo mahitungod sa gahom ug hulagway sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo. Hinuon, nakasaksi kami sa iyang pagkahalangdon.
We [apostles] told you that our Lord Jesus Christ [acts] powerfully and that he is coming back [some day]. We were not basing [what we told you] on stories that we had cleverly (invented/made up). Instead, we told you what we ourselves saw with our own eyes, that [the] Lord Jesus is supremely great.
17 Kay gidawat niya ang kadungganan ug himaya gikan sa Dios nga Amahan sa dihang gipadala kaniya ang usa ka tingog pinaagi sa halangdong Himaya nga nag-ingon, “Mao kini ang akong Anak, ang Bugtong hinigugma, nga akong gikahimut-an pag-ayo.”
God, our Father, greatly honored him when God’s great glory/brightness surrounded him, and God [MTY] said, “This is my Son, whom I love very much; I am very pleased with him.”
18 Nadungog namo kining tingog nga migawas gikan sa langit, samtang nag-uban pa kami kaniya didto sa balaang bukid.
We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
19 Nakabaton kami niining pulong nga panagna nga hinimo nga may kasigurohan gayod, buhata ninyo ang labing maayo aron sa pagtagad niini. Sama kini sa lampara nga nagadan-ag sa usa ka mangit-ngit nga dapit hangtod nga moabot na ang kabuntagon ug mosubang na ang bituon sa kabuntagon sa inyong mga kasingkasing.
We also have [the Scriptures] that the prophets [wrote about Christ long ago], which are completely reliable/trustworthy. You should (pay attention to/think carefully about) [what they wrote], because [what they wrote enables you to know whether what is taught to you is true or whether it is false] [SIM], like a lamp that is shining in a dark place [enables people to see where they are going] [SIM]. [You should] ([pay attention to/think carefully about]) [what they wrote] until [our Lord Jesus Christ comes back and enables] you [SYN] [to know God fully, which will be like when] [MET] (a day dawns/daylight comes) and the morning star rises [and we can see it clearly].
20 Hibaloi kini pag-una, nga walay panagna ang mahitungod sa kinaugalingon nga paghubad.
It is important that you realize that no one can interpret/explain by himself [the meaning of] what the prophets wrote [in the Scriptures] without [the help of God’s Spirit] (OR, no [part of the] Scriptures originated with the prophet himself),
21 Kay wala gayoy panagna nga miabot pinaagi sa kabubut-on sa usa ka tawo. Hinuon, gigiyahan ang mga tawo pinaagi sa Balaang Espiritu nga nagsulti gikan sa Dios.
because no human beings decided [to make those prophecies]. On the contrary, those who spoke [messages from God] did that because it was the Holy Spirit who caused them to do [it, and therefore the Spirit must help us to interpret/understand their meaning].
