< 2 Peter 1 >
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
Simoni Peteru, ìránṣẹ́ àti aposteli Jesu Kristi, Sí àwọn tí ó gba irú iyebíye ìgbàgbọ́ kan náà pẹ̀lú wá nínú òdodo Ọlọ́run wa àti ti Jesu Kristi Olùgbàlà:
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà máa bí sí i fún yín nínú ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run àti ti Jesu Olúwa wa.
3 seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;
Bí agbára rẹ̀ bí Ọlọ́run ti fún wa ní ohun gbogbo tí a nílò fún ṣe ti ìyè àti ti ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, nípa ìmọ̀ ẹni tí ó pè wá nípa Ògo àti ìṣeun rẹ̀.
4 whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
Nípa èyí tí ó fi àwọn ìlérí rẹ̀ tí ó tóbi púpọ̀ tí ó ṣe iyebíye fún wa: pé nípa ìwọ̀nyí ni kí ẹ̀yin lè di alábápín nínú àbùdá ti Ọlọ́run, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá ti yọ kúrò nínú ìbàjẹ́ tí ó ń bẹ nínú ayé nípa ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́.
5 Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge;
Àti nítorí ìdí èyí, ẹ máa ṣe àìsimi gbogbo, ẹ fi ìwà rere kún ìgbàgbọ́, àti ìmọ̀ kún ìwà rere;
6 and in [your] knowledge temperance; and in [your] temperance patience; and in [your] patience godliness;
àti àìrékọjá kún ìmọ̀; àti sùúrù kún àìrékọjá; àti ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run kún sùúrù.
7 and in [your] godliness love of the brethren; and in [your] love of the brethren love.
Àti ìfẹ́ ọmọnìkejì kún ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run; àti ìfẹ́ni kún ìfẹ́ ọmọnìkejì.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ní nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí wọ́n bá sì pọ̀, wọn kì yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ ṣe ọ̀lẹ tàbí aláìléso nínú ìmọ̀ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
9 For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ṣe aláìní nǹkan wọ̀nyí, kò lè ríran ní òkèèrè, ó fọjú, ó sì ti gbàgbé pé a ti wẹ òun nù kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ àtijọ́.
10 Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:
Nítorí náà, ará ẹ túbọ̀ máa ṣe àìsimi láti sọ ìpè àti yíyàn yín di dájúdájú, nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ẹ̀yin kì yóò ṣubú.
11 for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
Nítorí báyìí ni a ó pèsè fún yín lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ láti wọ ìjọba àìnípẹ̀kun ti Olúwa àti Olùgbàlà wa Jesu Kristi. (aiōnios )
12 Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with [you].
Nítorí náà, èmi ó máa rán yin létí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí nígbà gbogbo, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ wọ́n, tí ẹsẹ̀ yín sì múlẹ̀ nínú òtítọ́ tí ẹ ní báyìí.
13 And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
Èmi sì rò pé ó tọ́ láti máa mú wọn wá sí ìrántí yín, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí èmí ba ń bẹ nínú àgọ́ ara yìí.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me.
Bí èmi ti mọ̀ pé, bíbọ́ àgọ́ ara mi yìí sílẹ̀ kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀, àní, bí Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi ti fihàn mí.
15 Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance.
Èmi ó sì máa ṣaápọn pẹ̀lú, kí ẹ̀yin lè máa rántí nǹkan wọ̀nyí nígbà gbogbo lẹ́yìn ikú mi.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Nítorí kì í ṣe bí ẹni tí ó ń tọ ìtàn asán lẹ́yìn tí a fi ọgbọ́nkọ́gbọ́n là sílẹ̀, nígbà tí àwa sọ fún yín ní ti agbára àti wíwá Jesu Kristi Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n ẹlẹ́rìí ọláńlá rẹ̀ ni àwa jẹ́.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:
Nítorí tí Ó gba ọlá àti ògo láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba, nígbà tí irú ohùn yìí fọ̀ sí i láti inú ògo ńlá náà wá pé, “Èyí ni àyànfẹ́ ọmọ mi, ẹni tí inú mi dùn sí gidigidi.”
18 and this voice we [ourselves] heard come out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Àwa pẹ̀lú sì gbọ́ ohun yìí tí ó ti ọ̀run wá nígbà tí àwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní orí òkè mímọ́ náà.
19 And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
Àwa sì ní ìfẹsẹ̀múlẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì dunjúdunjú sí i, èyí tí ó yẹ kí ẹ kíyèsi gẹ́gẹ́ bí fìtílà tó ń mọ́lẹ̀ níbi tí òkùnkùn gbé wà, títí ilẹ̀ yóò fi mọ́, tí ìràwọ̀ òwúrọ̀ yóò sì yọ lọ́kàn yín.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
Ju gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ, kí ẹ ní òye yìí pé kò sí àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ìwé mímọ́ kankan tí ó wáyé nípa ìtumọ̀ wòlíì fún rara rẹ̀.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Ghost.
Nítorí àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ kan kò ti ipá ìfẹ́ ènìyàn wá rí; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run bí a ti ń darí wọn láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ wá.
