2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted an equal faith with us in the justice of our God and in our Savior Jesus Christ.
Ngai Simona Petelo, mosali mpe ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto; Epai ya bato oyo bazwaki kondima ya motuya moko na kondima na biso, na nzela ya bosembo ya Yesu-Klisto, Nzambe na biso mpe Mobikisi na biso:
2 Grace to you. And may peace be fulfilled according to the plan of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord,
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino na bofuluki, na nzela ya koyeba Nzambe mpe Yesu, Nkolo na biso!
3 in the same manner that all things which are for life and piety have been given to us by his Divine virtue, through the plan of him who has called us to our own glory and virtue.
Nzambe apesaki biso, na nzela ya nguya na Ye ya bonzambe, nyonso oyo tosengeli na yango mpo na kobika bomoi ya botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe mpe mpo na kokangama na Ye; asalaki yango na kopesa biso boyebi ya Ye oyo abenga biso mpo ete tosangana na nkembo mpe na bolamu na Ye.
4 Through Christ, he has given us the greatest and most precious promises, so that by these things you may become sharers in the Divine Nature, fleeing from the corruption of that desire which is in the world.
Na nzela ya nkembo mpe bolamu yango, apesaki biso bilaka minene mpe ya motuya makasi mpo ete, na nzela na yango, bosangana na bonzambe mpe bokima libebi oyo baposa mabe ezali kovandisa kati na mokili.
5 But as for you, taking up every concern, minister virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;
Mpo na yango, bosala makasi mpo na kobakisa na likolo ya kondima na bino, bolamu; na likolo ya bolamu, boyebi;
6 and in knowledge, moderation; and in moderation, patience; and in patience, piety;
na likolo ya boyebi, komikanga; na likolo ya komikanga, mpiko; na likolo ya mpiko, botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe;
7 and in piety, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
na likolo ya botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, bondeko ya solo; mpe na likolo ya bondeko ya solo, bolingo.
8 For if these things are with you, and if they abound, they will cause you to be neither empty, nor without fruit, within the plan of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pamba te soki bozali na bizaleli oyo ya malamu kati na bino mpe botondi na yango, ekosala ete bozala basali ya goyigoyi te mpe bokola makasi na boyebi ya Nzambe na biso mpe ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
9 For he who does not have these things at hand is blind and groping, being forgetful of his purification from his former offenses.
Kasi moto nyonso oyo azangi yango amonaka mosika te, azali lokola mokufi miso; abosani ete basila kopetola ye, wuta kala, na masumu na ye.
10 Because of this, brothers, be all the more diligent, so that by good works you may make certain your calling and election. For in doing these things, you do not sin at any time.
Yango wana, bandeko na ngai, bosala lisusu makasi koleka mpo na kolakisa na bato ete Nzambe abenga penza bino mpe apona bino; pamba te soki bosali bongo, bokotikala kokweya te.
11 For in this way, you shall be provided abundantly with an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Na bongo, bokoyambama malamu kati na Bokonzi ya seko ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo mpe Mobikisi na biso. (aiōnios g166)
12 For this reason, I will always begin to admonish you about these things, even though, certainly, you know them and are confirmed in the present truth.
Boye, nakobanda kozongisaka yango tango nyonso na makanisi na bino, atako boyebi yango malamu mpe bokangami makasi na bosolo oyo bozali na yango sik’oyo.
13 But I consider it just, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up with admonishments.
Namoni ete ezali malamu mpo na ngai kolamusa makanisi na bino awa nazali nanu na bomoi kati na ndako ya kapo ya nzoto oyo;
14 For it is certain that the laying to rest of this, my tabernacle, is approaching swiftly, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has also indicated to me.
pamba te nayebi malamu ete, kala mingi te, nakokabwana na nzoto yango, ndenge Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, ayebisaki ngai yango.
15 Therefore, I will present a work for you to have, so that, frequently after my passing, you may call to mind these things.
Nzokande, nakosala makasi mpo ete bozalaka tango nyonso na makoki ya kokanisaka yango, ezala nasila na ngai kokende.
16 For it was not by following fanciful doctrines that we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were made eyewitnesses of his greatness.
Solo, tango toyebisaki bino makambo oyo etali koya ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, kati na nguya na yango nyonso, tolandaki te basambole oyo bato basalaka na mayele na bango, kasi na miso na biso moko, tomonaki Ye kati na kongenga nyonso ya nkembo na Ye.
17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father, whose voice descended to him from the magnificent glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Pamba te Nzambe Tata apesaki Ye lokumu mpe nkembo, tango mongongo kowuta na nkembo monene ya Nzambe elobaki na Ye: « Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Ye mingi. »
18 We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Mpe, biso moko, tango tozalaki elongo na Ye na likolo ya ngomba ya bule, toyokaki mongongo yango kowuta na Likolo.
19 And so, we have an even firmer prophetic word, to which you would do well to listen, as to a light shining within a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts.
Tozali lisusu kondima bosolo ya maloba ya basakoli oyo, bozali solo kosala malamu wana bozali kotia makanisi na bino kati na yango lokola na mwinda oyo ezali kopela kati na esika ya molili, kino tongo etana mpe monzoto ya tongo engenga kati na mitema na bino.
20 Understand this first: that every prophecy of Scripture does not result from one’s own interpretation.
Liboso na nyonso, boyeba malamu ete moko te, na mayele na ye moko, akoki kolimbola maloba ya basakoli, oyo ezali kati na Makomi,
21 For prophecy was not conveyed by human will at any time. Instead, holy men were speaking about God while inspired by the Holy Spirit.
pamba te maloba yango ya basakoli eyaki te na nzela ya mokano ya moto, kasi ezali Molimo Mosantu nde atindikaki bato na koloba kowuta na Nzambe.
