< 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:
Simona Petera, mpanompo sy Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy, mamangy izay efa nahazo finoana soa tahaka ny anay amin’ ny fahamarinan’ i Jesosy Kristy, Andriamanitsika sy Mpamonjy:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the acknowledgment of God and of Jesus our Lord!
hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana amin’ ny fahalalana tsara an’ Andriamanitra sy Jesosy Tompontsika.
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,
Efa nomen’ ny herin’ Andriamanitra ho antsika ny zavatra rehetra momba ny fiainana sy ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fahalalana Ilay niantso antsika tamin’ ny voninahiny sy ny fahatsarany;
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.
ary izany no nahatanterahany amintsika ireo teny fikasana sady soa no lehibe indrindra, mba ho tonga mpiray amin’ ny fomban’ Andriamanitra amin’ izany ianareo, rehefa afa-nandositra ny fahalotoana izay eo amin’ izao tontolo izao noho ny filàna;
5 And [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with virtue—knowledge,
koa noho izany dia manaova izay zotom-po rehetra kosa ianareo, ka amin’ ny finoanareo dia manehoa fahatanjahan-tsaina, ary amin’ ny fahatanjahan-tsainareo dia fahalalana,
6 and with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
ary amin’ ny fahalalanareo dia fahononam-po, ary amin’ ny fahononam-ponareo dia faharetana, ary amin’ ny faharetanareo dia toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra,
7 and with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
ary amin’ ny toe-panahinareo araka an’ Andriamanitra dia fitiavana ny rahalahy, ary amin’ ny fitiavanareo ny rahalahy dia fitiavana ny olona rehetra.
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 raha anananareo izany zavatra izany, sady anananareo betsaka, dia tsy avelan’ izany ho malaina na tsy hahavokatra ianareo amin’ ny fahalalana tsara an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
Fa izay tsy manana izany zavatra izany kosa dia toa jamba ka tsy mahajery lavitra, sady nanadino ny nanadiovana azy tamin’ ny fahotany voalohany izy.
10 therefore, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
Ary amin’ izany dia mazotoa kokoa, ry rahalahy, hampitoetra ny fiantsoana sy ny fifidianana anareo; fa raha manao izany zavatra izany ianareo, dia tsy ho tafintohina akory mandrakizay;
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)
fa toy izany no hanomezana malalaka ho anareo ny fidirana ho any amin’ ny fanjakana mandrakizay, izay an’ i Jesosy Kristy, Tompontsika sy Mpamonjy antsika. (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,
Koa hazoto mandrakariva hampahatsiaro anareo ny amin’ izany zavatra izany aho, na dia efa fantatrareo aza, ka efa naorina tsara amin’ ny fahamarinana izay efa eo aminareo.
13 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
Fa raha mbola eto amin’ ity trano-lay ity aho, dia ataoko fa mety ny hampifoha anareo amin’ ny fampahatsiarovana anareo,
14 having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
satria fantatro fa ho avy tampoka ny hanesorana ny trano-laiko, dia toy ny nasehon’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika tamiko koa.
15 And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
Ary dia hataoko izay zakako mba hisy hahatsiarovanareo izany zavatra izany mandrakariva, rehefa maty aho.
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—
Fa tsy nanaraka izay anganongano noforonin’ ny fahafetsen’ ny saina izahay, raha nampahafantatra anareo ny hery sy ny fihavian’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika; fa efa hitan’ ny masonay ny fiandrianany.
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”;
Fa nahazo laza amam-boninahitra tamin’ Andriamanitra Ray Izy, raha tonga teo aminy avy tamin’ ny voninahitra lehibe indrindra ilay feo nanao hoe: “Ity no Zanako malalako izay sitrako”.
18 and we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
Ary renay io feo avy tany an-danitra io, raha niara-nipetraka taminy tany an-tendrombohitra masìna izahay.
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;
Ary manana ny teny faminaniana atao mafy orina kokoa isika; koa raha mandinika izany ianareo, dia manao tsara, fa toy ny jiro mahazava ao amin’ ny fitoerana maizimaizina izany, mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro, ka miposaka ao am-ponareo ny fitarik’ andro;
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Writing comes of private exposition,
fa fantatrareo voalohany indrindra fa ny famoahan-kevitry ny faminaniana ao amin’ ny Soratra Masìna dia tsy efan’ ny fisainan’ ny olona fotsiny ihany;
21 for prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
fa tsy nisy faminaniana avy tamin’ ny sitrapon’ ny olona tany aloha rehetra; fa avy tamin’ Andriamanitra no nitenenan’ ny olona araka izay nitondran’ ny Fanahy Masìna azy.
