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:
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Simone Petere, motlhanka le morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete. Lo ya kwa go: botlhe ba ba nang le tumelo e e tshwanang le ya rona. Tumelo e ke buang ka yone ke ya mofuta o Jesu Keresete Modimo le Mmoloki wa rona o e re nayang. E ntle jang e bile o tshiamo jang go naya mongwe le mongwe wa rona tumelo e, e e tshwanang.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the acknowledgment of God and of Jesus our Lord!
A o batla boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa Modimo thata le kagiso? Jalo ithute go mo itse botoka thata.
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,
Gonne fa o mo itse thata, o tlaa go naya ka nonofo ya gagwe, sengwe le sengwe se o se batlang go tshela botshelo jwa boammaaruri: O tlhakanela le rona le eleng kgalalelo le tshiamo ya gagwe.
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.
Mme ka yone fela nonofo e kgolo eo, o re neile khumo le masego a a hakgamatsang a o a solofeditseng, jaaka tsholofetso ya go re boloka mo dikeletsong le mo boleong jo bo re dikaganyeditseng, le go re naya mokgwa wa gagwe.
5 And [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with virtue—knowledge,
Mme go nna le dimpho tse, lo tlhoka mo gogolo go feta tumelo; lo tshwanetse gape go dira thata go nna tshiamo, le fa go sa lekana. Gonne lo tshwanetse go ithuta go itse Modimo thata le go bona se o batlang lo se dira.
6 and with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
Gape, ithuteng go beela dikeletso tsa lona fa thoko gore lo tle lo nne pelotelele le tshiamo, ka boitumelo lo letla Modimo go tsamaya le lona.
7 and with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
Se se tlaa dira gore kgato e e latelang e kgonege, e e leng ya lona go itumelela batho ba bangwe le go ba rata, mme morago lo tlaa gola mo go ba rateng thata.
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,
Fa lo ntse lo tsweletse sentle mo tseleng e, lo tlaa nonofa mo moweng lo bo lo nna le maungo le tiriso mo go Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
Mme mongwe yo o palelwang ke go sala mekgwa e ya tumelo morago, ke sefofu, ebile ga a bone sentle, mme o lebetse gore Modimo o mo golotse mo botshelong jo bogologolo jwa sebe le gore jaanong o ka tshela botshelo jo bo tiileng, botshelo jo bo siametseng Morena.
10 therefore, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
Jalo bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, dirang thata go supa tota gore lommogo le ba Modimo o ba biditseng le ba o ba tlhophileng, mme ga lo kitla lo kgotswa kgotsa lo wa.
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)
Mme Modimo o tlaa lo bulela dikgoro tsa legodimo go tsena mo Bogosing jo bo sa khutleng jwa Morena le mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete. (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,
Ke rulaganyetsa go nna ke lo gakolola dilo tse ka metlha le fa lo setse lo di itse ebile tota lo tsamaya sentle!
13 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
Mme Morena Jesu Keresete o mpontshitse gore malatsi a me mo lefatsheng a badilwe, ke gaufi le go swa.
14 having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
Fela fa ke santse ke le fa ke ikaelela go nna ke lo romelela dikgakololo tse,
15 And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
ke solofela go di gatelela sentle mo go lona gore lo tle lo di gakologelwe ka lobaka lo loleele fa ke sena go tloga.
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—
Gonne re ne re sa lo bolelele dinaane fa re lo tlhalosetsa nonofo ya Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete le go tla ga gagwe gape. Ka matlho a me ke bonye phatsimo e kgolo le kgalalelo ya gagwe!
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”;
Ke ne ke le gone mo thabeng e e boitshepo fa a phatshima ka tlotlo e o e neilweng ke Modimo Rraagwe;
18 and we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
ke utlwile lentswe leo le le galalelang la Bogosi le le neng le tswa legodimong, le re, “Yo ke Morwaake yo o rategang thata; ke itumela thata ka ene.”
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;
Jalo re bonye ebile re tlhomamisitse gore se Baporofiti ba se buileng se diragetse. Lo tlaa bo lo dira sentle go tlhokomela sengwe le sengwe se ba se kwadileng, gonne jaaka lesedi le phatshima mo felong fa go lefifi, mafoko a bone a re thusa go tlhaloganya dilo di le dintsi tse gongwe di ka bong di fifetse ebile di le thata. Mme fa lo ela tlhoko boammaaruri jo bo hakgamatsang jwa mafoko a baporofiti, jalo lesedi le tlaa phatsima mo meweng ya lona mme Keresete Naledi ya moso o tlaa phatsima mo dipelong tsa lona.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Writing comes of private exposition,
Gonne ga go na polelelo-pele epe e e kwadilweng mo Lokwalong e e ikakanyeditsweng ke moporofiti ka bo ene. E ne e le ka Mowa O O Boitshepo o o neng o le mo bathong ba ba ratang Modimo o o ba neetseng molaetsa wa boammaruri o o tswang kwa Modimong.
21 for prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
