2 Peter 1
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus 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 in the acknowledgment of God and of Jesus our Lord!
Wega na thayũ iromũingĩhĩra nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyana na Ngai, o na Jesũ Mwathani witũ.
3 As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and piety, through the acknowledgment of Him who called us through glory and virtue,
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 through which the most great and precious promises have been given to us, that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption [and] lust in the world.
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 And [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with virtue—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—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
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 piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
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 these things being in you and abounding, make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus 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 with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
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 therefore, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
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 in this way the entrance into the continuous kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplemented to you. (aiōnios g166)
na nĩmũgetĩkĩrio na ũtugi mũtoonye thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki wa tene na tene wa Mwathani na Mũhonokia witũ Jesũ Kristũ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you about these things, although you have known [them] and have been established in the present truth,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũtũũra ndĩmũririkanagia maũndũ macio, o na mwakorwo nĩmũmamenyete, na nĩmũhaandĩtwo wega thĩinĩ wa ũhoro wa ma ũrĩa mũrĩ naguo.
13 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
Na ngwĩciiria nĩ kwagĩrĩire ndĩmũririkanagie maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra thĩinĩ wa hema ĩno ya mwĩrĩ ũyũ,
14 having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
tondũ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ica ikuhĩ nĩngũmĩĩaũra, o ta ũrĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ aanyonirie.
15 And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
Na nĩngwĩrutanĩria mũno nyone atĩ ndaarĩkia gũkua nĩmũrĩhotaga kũririkana maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ciothe.
16 For having not followed out skillfully devised fables, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having become eyewitnesses of His majesty—
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 having received honor and glory from God the Father, such a voice being borne to Him by the Excellent Glory: “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted”;
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 we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
Ithuĩ ene nĩtweiguĩrĩire mũgambo ũcio ũkiuma igũrũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa twarĩ nake kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩtheru.
19 And we have a more firm prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day may dawn, and [the] morning star may 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 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Writing comes of private exposition,
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 prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
Nĩgũkorwo kĩhumo kĩa ũnabii gĩtioimanire na kwenda kwa mũndũ, no andũ nĩmaririe ũhoro uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa Roho Mũtheru aamatongoririe.
