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:
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 to you in the acknowledgment 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 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,
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 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.
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 [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with 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 with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
Sou konesans nou, mete bon kontwòl tèt nou, e nan bon kontwòl tèt nou, mete pèseverans, e nan pèseverans nou, mete sentete.
7 and with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
Anplis nan sentete nou, mete bonte fratènèl, e nan bonte fratènèl nou, mete lanmou.
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,
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 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of 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 therefore, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
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 in this way the entrance into the continuous kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplemented to you. (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 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,
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 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
Paske mwen konsidere li bon, toutotan mwen ap demere nan kay tèrès sila a, pou vire memwa nou pou fè nou sonje,
14 having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
avèk konesans ke moman pou mete akote kay tèrès mwen an toupre kòm osi Jésus Kri te fè m byen konprann nan.
15 And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
Konsa, mwen va osi fè dilijans pou nenpòt lè m fin ale, nou kapab toujou sonje bagay sa yo.
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—
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 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”;
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 we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
Epi nou menm te tande pawòl sa yo, fèt depi nan syèl la, lè nou te avèk Li sou mòn sen an.
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;
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 Writing comes of private exposition,
Men konnen sa davans, ke nanpwen pwofesi nan lekriti sen an ki sijè a pwòp entèpretasyon prive.
21 for prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
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.
