2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
Na Haimona Pita, he pononga, a he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga kua whiwhi tahi nei tatou ki te whakapono utu nui, i runga o te tika o to tatou Atua, o Ihu Karaiti, o te Kaiwhakaora.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Kia whakanuia te aroha noa me te rangimarie ki a koutou, i runga i te matauranga ki te Atua, ki a Ihu hoki, ki to tatou Ariki.
3 as all things of his divine power to us, things toward life and piety, which were granted through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue.
Kua homai na hoki e tona kaha Atua ki a tatou nga mea katoa mo te ora, mo te karakia pai, i te mea ka matau nei ki te Kaikaranga i a tatou i runga i te kororia, i te pai:
4 Because of which, the precious and greatest promises have been given to us, so that through these ye might become companions of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in lust.
Na enei hoki i riro mai ai i a tatou nga kupu whakaari, he mea nui whakaharahara, he mea utu nui; ma enei hoki koutou ka whiwhi ai ki te ahua Atua, i a koutou ka mawhiti nei i te pirau i te ao, ara i to te hiahia.
5 Now this same thing also, having applied all eagerness, furnish in your faith, virtue, and in virtue, knowledge,
Ma reira nei hoki, me whakapau rawa to koutou uaua, honoa iho ano te pai ki runga ki to koutou whakapono; ki runga hoki ki te pai ko te matauranga;
6 and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, piety,
Ki runga ki te matauranga ko te pehi o te hiahia; ki runga ki te pehi o te hiahia ko te manawanui; ki runga ki te manawanui ko te karakia pai;
7 and in piety, brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection, love.
Ki runga ki te karakia pai ko te atawhai ki nga teina; ki runga ki te atawhai ki nga teina ko te aroha.
8 For these things existing in you and abounding, it leads to not being idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ki te mea hoki kei a koutou enei mea, ki te nui haere hoki, ka meinga koutou kia kaua e mangere, kia kaua e huakore i runga i te matauranga ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti.
9 For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being near-sighted, having deliberately forgotten the purification of his former sins.
Ko te tangata hoki kahore nei i a ia enei mea, he matapo, he atarua, kua wareware ki te horoinga o ona hara o mua.
10 Therefore, brothers, instead be diligent to make your calling and selection sure, for doing these things, ye would, no, not ever stumble.
Mo konei, e oku teina, kia puta to koutou uaua ki te whakapumau i to koutou karangatanga, i to koutou whiriwhiringa: ki te penei hoki ta koutou mahi e kore rawa koutou e tapepa:
11 For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Penei hoki ka whiwhi nui koutou ki te huarahi tomo atu ki te rangatiratanga mutungakore o to tatou Ariki, ara o te Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu Karaiti. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will not neglect to always remind you about these things, although having known them, and having been established in the present truth.
Mo reira ano e kore ahau e mangere ki te whakamahara tonu i a koutou ki enei mea, e matau ana raia koutou, kua oti ano te whakau ki runga ki te mea pono, kei a koutou na.
13 But I think it right, inasmuch as I am in this tent, to arouse you in memory.
Ki toku whakaaro hoki, i ahau e noho ana i tenei tapenakara, he mea tika ano kia whakaoho ahau i a koutou, kia whakamahara;
14 Knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me.
E mohio ana hoki ahau e kore e wheau ka mahue tenei tapenakara oku, ka pera ano me ta to tatou Ariki, me ta Ihu Karaiti, i whakakite mai ai ki ahau.
15 And also I will endeavor for you to always have, after my departure, the memory of these things to apply.
Ka puta ano hoki toku uaua kia mau tonu to koutou mahara ki enei mea i muri i toku matenga.
16 For we revealed to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, not men who followed in cunningly devised myths, but men who became eyewitnesses of the majesty of that man.
Ehara hoki i te mea he whai ta matou i nga kupu i totoa e te whakaaro tinihanga, i te whakapuakanga o te kaha, o te haerenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou; engari he kaititiro ano matou ki tona nui.
17 For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased.
I riro hoki ia ia he honore, he kororia na te Atua Matua, i te putanga mai o taua reo ki a ia i roto i te kororia nui rawa, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai.
18 And we heard this voice, which was brought out of heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
I rongo ano matou ki tenei reo e puta mai ana i te rangi, i a matou i tona taha i runga i te maunga tapu.
19 And we have the prophetic word sure, to which ye do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar arises in your hearts.
Katahi ka u rawa te kupu poropiti ki a tatou inaianei; pai tonu ki te anga to koutou whakaaro ki reira, he rama hoki e tiaho ana i te wahi pouri, kia puao ra ano te ra, kia ara ra ano te whetu o te ata i roto i o koutou ngakau:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture comes to pass of a personal interpretation.
Kia mohio hoki i te tuatahi, kahore he poropititanga o te karaipiture nona ake ona tikanga.
21 For no prophecy was ever brought by a will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being led by the Holy Spirit.
Ehara hoki i te mea na te whakaaro o te tangata i puta mai ai te poropititanga i mua, engari he mea whakamahara na te Wairua Tapu i korero ai nga tangata tapu a te Atua.
