2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
Simon Pierre, yon sèvitè-atache nèt, e apòt a Jésus Kri, a sila ki te resevwa yon lafwa menm jan ak nou yo, pa ladwati Bondye ak Sovè nou an, Jésus Kri:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
Ke lagras ak lapè vin miltipliye a nou menm nan konesans a Bondye ak Jésus, Senyè nou an,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
akoz nou wè ke pwisans diven Li an bannou tout bagay ki apatyen a lavi ak sentete, atravè vrè konesans a Li, ki te rele nou pa pwòp glwa ak ekselans Li.
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Paske pa sila yo, Li te bannou pwomès presye e manyifik Li, pouke nan yo, nou ta kapab vin patisipan nan nati sen an, e chape de koripsyon ki nan mond lan pa konvwatiz lachè a.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
Alò, pou rezon sa a tou, avèk tout dilijans nan lafwa nou, mete ekselans moral, e nan ekselans moral nou, mete konesans.
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
Sou konesans nou, mete bon kontwòl tèt nou, e nan bon kontwòl tèt nou, mete pèseverans, e nan pèseverans nou, mete sentete.
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
Anplis nan sentete nou, mete bonte fratènèl, e nan bonte fratènèl nou, mete lanmou.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paske si kalite sa yo nan nou e ap ogmante, yo p ap rann nou ni initil, ni san fwi nan vrè konesans Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Paske, sila ki manke kalite sa yo avèg oswa pa wè klè, akoz li bliye ke li te netwaye de ansyen peche li yo.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Konsa, frè m yo, se pou nou vin pi dilijan pou fè sèten de chwa ak apèl Li de nou menm nan. Paske otan ke n ap pratike bagay sa yo, nou p ap janm glise tonbe.
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Paske lè nou aji nan fason sa a, antre nan wayòm etènèl Senyè ak Sovè nou an, Jésus Kri, va toujou disponib a nou menm an abondans. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and be established in the present truth.
Konsa, mwen va toujou prè pou fè nou sonje bagay sa yo, malgre nou deja konnen yo, e etabli nan verite ki deja la avèk nou an.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
Paske mwen konsidere li bon, toutotan mwen ap demere nan kay tèrès sila a, pou vire memwa nou pou fè nou sonje,
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
avèk konesans ke moman pou mete akote kay tèrès mwen an toupre kòm osi Jésus Kri te fè m byen konprann nan.
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
Konsa, mwen va osi fè dilijans pou nenpòt lè m fin ale, nou kapab toujou sonje bagay sa yo.
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Paske nou pa t swiv vye listwa koken lè nou te fè nou konnen pwisans ak retou a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, men zye nou te temwen majeste Li.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Paske, lè Li te resevwa laglwa ak lonè Bondye, Papa a, yon pawòl konsa te fèt a Li pa Laglwa Majeste a: “Sa se Fis byeneme Mwen an; avèk Li, Mwen byen kontan.”
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Epi nou menm te tande pawòl sa yo, fèt depi nan syèl la, lè nou te avèk Li sou mòn sen an.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Konsa, nou gen pawòl pwofesi yo fèt pi asire. A sila nou dwe prete atansyon an tankou se yon lanp k ap klere yon kote ki fènwa, jiskaske bajou kase e zetwal granmmaten an leve nan kè nou.
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Men konnen sa davans, ke nanpwen pwofesi nan lekriti sen an ki sijè a pwòp entèpretasyon prive.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
Paske okenn pwofesi pa t janm fèt pa volonte a moun, men lèzòm, dirije pa Lespri Sen an te pale pawòl yo ki te soti nan Bondye.
