2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter a seruant and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to you which haue obteined like precious faith with vs by the righteousnesse of our God and Sauiour Iesus Christ:
Nĩ niĩ Simoni Petero, ndungata na mũtũmwo wa Jesũ Kristũ, Ngũmwandĩkĩra marũa maya inyuĩ arĩa mũrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra wĩtĩkio wa goro o ta ũrĩa tũrĩ naguo nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wa Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa arĩ we Ngai witũ na Mũtũhonokia:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus our Lord,
Wega na thayũ iromũingĩhĩra nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyana na Ngai, o na Jesũ Mwathani witũ.
3 According as his diuine power hath giuen vnto vs all things that perteine vnto life and godlinesse, through the acknowledging of him that hath called vs vnto glory and vertue.
Rĩu-rĩ, hinya wake wa ũngai nĩũtũheete kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũbataragia nĩguo tũhote gũtũũra muoyo na twĩamũrĩire Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyana nake ũcio watwĩtire tũgĩe na riiri wake mwene o na wagĩrĩru wake.
4 Whereby most great and precious promises are giuen vnto vs, that by them ye should be partakers of the diuine nature, in that ye flee the corruption, which is in the worlde through lust.
Nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩatũheete maũndũ manene mũno ma ciĩranĩro ciake cia goro, nĩgeetha nĩ ũndũ wacio mũgwatanagĩre nake mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wa ũngai wake na mwĩtheemage kuuma kũrĩ ũbuthu wa gũkũ thĩ ũrĩa ũrehagwo nĩ merirĩria mooru.
5 Therefore giue euen all diligence thereunto: ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith: and with vertue, knowledge:
Na nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu kĩũmbe, kĩĩrutanĩriei mũno nĩguo muonganĩrĩrie wĩtĩkio wanyu na wagĩrĩru; naguo wagĩrĩru mũwonganĩrĩrie na ũmenyo;
6 And with knowledge, temperance: and with temperance, patience: and with patience, godlines:
naguo ũmenyo mũwonganĩrĩrie na kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ; nakuo kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria macio-rĩ, mũkuonganĩrĩrie na gũkirĩrĩria; nakuo gũkirĩrĩria mũkuonganĩrĩrie na kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai;
7 And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and with brotherly kindnes, loue.
nakuo kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai mũkuonganĩrĩrie na gũtuga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ; nakuo gũtuga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ mũkuonganĩrĩrie na wendani.
8 For if these things be among you, and abound, they will make you that ye neither shalbe idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our Lord Iesus Christ:
Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩgĩa na mawega macio na mamũingĩhĩre mũno-rĩ, nĩmarĩgiragia mũgũtare kana mwage maciaro harĩ ũhoro wa kũmenya Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
9 For he that hath not these things, is blinde, and can not see farre off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his olde sinnes.
No mũndũ angĩaga maũndũ macio-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio ndarona wega na nĩ mũtumumu, na nĩariganĩirwo atĩ aatheririo nĩguo atigane na mehia make ma tene.
10 Wherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, ĩkagĩrai kĩyo makĩria nĩguo mũtũme gwĩtwo kwanyu na gũthuurwo kwanyu kũrũme biũ. Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩĩka maũndũ macio-rĩ, gũtirĩ hĩndĩ mũkaagũa,
11 For by this meanes an entring shalbe ministred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
na nĩmũgetĩkĩrio na ũtugi mũtoonye thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki wa tene na tene wa Mwathani na Mũhonokia witũ Jesũ Kristũ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though that ye haue knowledge, and be stablished in the present trueth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũtũũra ndĩmũririkanagia maũndũ macio, o na mwakorwo nĩmũmamenyete, na nĩmũhaandĩtwo wega thĩinĩ wa ũhoro wa ma ũrĩa mũrĩ naguo.
13 For I thinke it meete as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you in remembrance,
Na ngwĩciiria nĩ kwagĩrĩire ndĩmũririkanagie maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra thĩinĩ wa hema ĩno ya mwĩrĩ ũyũ,
14 Seeing I knowe that the time is at hand that I must lay downe this my tabernacle, euen as our Lord Iesus Christ hath shewed me.
tondũ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ica ikuhĩ nĩngũmĩĩaũra, o ta ũrĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ aanyonirie.
15 I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye also may be able to haue remembrance of these things after my departing.
Na nĩngwĩrutanĩria mũno nyone atĩ ndaarĩkia gũkua nĩmũrĩhotaga kũririkana maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ciothe.
16 For we followed not deceiuable fables when we opened vnto you the power, and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but with our eyes we saw his maiestie:
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa twamũmenyithirie ũhoro wa hinya na wa gũũka kwa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ-rĩ, tũtiahũthĩrire ngʼano cia gwĩtungĩra na wara, no ithuĩ nĩ kwĩonera tweyoneire ũkaru wake na maitho maitũ.
17 For he receiued of God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voyce to him from that excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩaheirwo gĩtĩĩo na riiri kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgambo wamũkorire uumĩte kũrĩ Ũrĩa Mwene Riiri ũrĩa Mũnene ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete mũno; nĩ ngenaga mũno nĩ ũndũ wake.”
18 And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount.
Ithuĩ ene nĩtweiguĩrĩire mũgambo ũcio ũkiuma igũrũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa twarĩ nake kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩtheru.
19 We haue also a most sure worde of the Prophets, to the which ye doe well that yee take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts.
Na ningĩ ũhoro ũrĩa warathirwo nĩ anabii ũrĩa twĩ naguo nĩwĩkĩrĩtwo hinya makĩria, na no mwĩke wega mũngĩũthikĩrĩria, ũhaana ta ũtheri ũkwara handũ harĩ nduma, o nginya gũkĩe nayo njata ya rũciinĩ ĩkenge ngoro-inĩ cianyu.
20 So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation.
No mbere ya maũndũ mothe-rĩ, no nginya mũmenye atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wanarathwo Maandĩko-inĩ Matheru ũngĩtaũrwo nĩ mũnabii na ũtaũri wake mwene.
21 For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost.
Nĩgũkorwo kĩhumo kĩa ũnabii gĩtioimanire na kwenda kwa mũndũ, no andũ nĩmaririe ũhoro uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa Roho Mũtheru aamatongoririe.
