2 Peter 1
1 Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God, and the 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 to you in 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 Seeing that his Divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness;
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 he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from 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 even for this very reason, 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 self-control, and to self-control endurance, and to endurance 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 love.
Anplis nan sentete nou, mete bonte fratènèl, e nan bonte fratènèl nou, mete lanmou.
8 For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full 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 cleansed 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 will 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 in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you 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 shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.
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 right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by 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 knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared 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 Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.
Konsa, mwen va osi fè dilijans pou nenpòt lè m fin ale, nou kapab toujou sonje bagay sa yo.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eye-witnesses 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 honor and glory, when such a voice as this was borne to him from the excellent glory: “This is my beloved Son, with 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 we heard borne from heaven 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 And we have more sure the prophetic word, to which ye do well in taking heed, as to a lamp shining 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 cometh from private interpretation.
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 moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.
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.
