< 2 Peter 1 >

1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
Simona Petera, mpanompo sy Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy, mamangy izay efa nahazo finoana soa tahaka ny anay amin’ ny fahamarinan’ i Jesosy Kristy, Andriamanitsika sy Mpamonjy:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana amin’ ny fahalalana tsara an’ Andriamanitra sy Jesosy Tompontsika.
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
Efa nomen’ ny herin’ Andriamanitra ho antsika ny zavatra rehetra momba ny fiainana sy ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fahalalana Ilay niantso antsika tamin’ ny voninahiny sy ny fahatsarany;
4 Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
ary izany no nahatanterahany amintsika ireo teny fikasana sady soa no lehibe indrindra, mba ho tonga mpiray amin’ ny fomban’ Andriamanitra amin’ izany ianareo, rehefa afa-nandositra ny fahalotoana izay eo amin’ izao tontolo izao noho ny filàna;
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
koa noho izany dia manaova izay zotom-po rehetra kosa ianareo, ka amin’ ny finoanareo dia manehoa fahatanjahan-tsaina, ary amin’ ny fahatanjahan-tsainareo dia fahalalana,
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
ary amin’ ny fahalalanareo dia fahononam-po, ary amin’ ny fahononam-ponareo dia faharetana, ary amin’ ny faharetanareo dia toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra,
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
ary amin’ ny toe-panahinareo araka an’ Andriamanitra dia fitiavana ny rahalahy, ary amin’ ny fitiavanareo ny rahalahy dia fitiavana ny olona rehetra.
8 For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Fa raha anananareo izany zavatra izany, sady anananareo betsaka, dia tsy avelan’ izany ho malaina na tsy hahavokatra ianareo amin’ ny fahalalana tsara an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
9 But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Fa izay tsy manana izany zavatra izany kosa dia toa jamba ka tsy mahajery lavitra, sady nanadino ny nanadiovana azy tamin’ ny fahotany voalohany izy.
10 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
Ary amin’ izany dia mazotoa kokoa, ry rahalahy, hampitoetra ny fiantsoana sy ny fifidianana anareo; fa raha manao izany zavatra izany ianareo, dia tsy ho tafintohina akory mandrakizay;
11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
fa toy izany no hanomezana malalaka ho anareo ny fidirana ho any amin’ ny fanjakana mandrakizay, izay an’ i Jesosy Kristy, Tompontsika sy Mpamonjy antsika. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
Koa hazoto mandrakariva hampahatsiaro anareo ny amin’ izany zavatra izany aho, na dia efa fantatrareo aza, ka efa naorina tsara amin’ ny fahamarinana izay efa eo aminareo.
13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
Fa raha mbola eto amin’ ity trano-lay ity aho, dia ataoko fa mety ny hampifoha anareo amin’ ny fampahatsiarovana anareo,
14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
satria fantatro fa ho avy tampoka ny hanesorana ny trano-laiko, dia toy ny nasehon’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika tamiko koa.
15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
Ary dia hataoko izay zakako mba hisy hahatsiarovanareo izany zavatra izany mandrakariva, rehefa maty aho.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
Fa tsy nanaraka izay anganongano noforonin’ ny fahafetsen’ ny saina izahay, raha nampahafantatra anareo ny hery sy ny fihavian’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika; fa efa hitan’ ny masonay ny fiandrianany.
17 For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Fa nahazo laza amam-boninahitra tamin’ Andriamanitra Ray Izy, raha tonga teo aminy avy tamin’ ny voninahitra lehibe indrindra ilay feo nanao hoe: “Ity no Zanako malalako izay sitrako”.
18 And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
Ary renay io feo avy tany an-danitra io, raha niara-nipetraka taminy tany an-tendrombohitra masìna izahay.
19 We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Ary manana ny teny faminaniana atao mafy orina kokoa isika; koa raha mandinika izany ianareo, dia manao tsara, fa toy ny jiro mahazava ao amin’ ny fitoerana maizimaizina izany, mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro, ka miposaka ao am-ponareo ny fitarik’ andro;
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
fa fantatrareo voalohany indrindra fa ny famoahan-kevitry ny faminaniana ao amin’ ny Soratra Masìna dia tsy efan’ ny fisainan’ ny olona fotsiny ihany;
21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
fa tsy nisy faminaniana avy tamin’ ny sitrapon’ ny olona tany aloha rehetra; fa avy tamin’ Andriamanitra no nitenenan’ ny olona araka izay nitondran’ ny Fanahy Masìna azy.
