< 2 Peter 1 >
1 SHEMUN PETROS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, to those who by faith the same in preciousness with us have been made equal, through the righteousness of our Lord and our Redeemer Jeshu Meshiha.
Ngai Simona Petelo, mosali mpe ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto; Epai ya bato oyo bazwaki kondima ya motuya moko na kondima na biso, na nzela ya bosembo ya Yesu-Klisto, Nzambe na biso mpe Mobikisi na biso:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino na bofuluki, na nzela ya koyeba Nzambe mpe Yesu, Nkolo na biso!
3 As He who all (things) which of the divine power are unto life and godliness hath given (us), through the knowledge of Him who hath called us unto the glory of him and of virtue,
Nzambe apesaki biso, na nzela ya nguya na Ye ya bonzambe, nyonso oyo tosengeli na yango mpo na kobika bomoi ya botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe mpe mpo na kokangama na Ye; asalaki yango na kopesa biso boyebi ya Ye oyo abenga biso mpo ete tosangana na nkembo mpe na bolamu na Ye.
4 by annunciations great and precious which he hath given to you, that by them you may be partakers of the divine nature, while you escape the corruption of the lusts which are in the world;
Na nzela ya nkembo mpe bolamu yango, apesaki biso bilaka minene mpe ya motuya makasi mpo ete, na nzela na yango, bosangana na bonzambe mpe bokima libebi oyo baposa mabe ezali kovandisa kati na mokili.
5 So, with this, bringing in all diligence, add to your faith virtue; but to virtue knowledge,
Mpo na yango, bosala makasi mpo na kobakisa na likolo ya kondima na bino, bolamu; na likolo ya bolamu, boyebi;
6 but to knowledge perseverance, but to perseverance patience, but to patience godliness,
na likolo ya boyebi, komikanga; na likolo ya komikanga, mpiko; na likolo ya mpiko, botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe;
7 but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love.
na likolo ya botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, bondeko ya solo; mpe na likolo ya bondeko ya solo, bolingo.
8 For while these are found with you, and abound, neither slothfulness nor unfruitfulness will stand against you in the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
Pamba te soki bozali na bizaleli oyo ya malamu kati na bino mpe botondi na yango, ekosala ete bozala basali ya goyigoyi te mpe bokola makasi na boyebi ya Nzambe na biso mpe ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
9 For he with whom these are not found is blind, and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purification of his former sins.
Kasi moto nyonso oyo azangi yango amonaka mosika te, azali lokola mokufi miso; abosani ete basila kopetola ye, wuta kala, na masumu na ye.
10 Upon this the more, my brethren, be careful, that by your good works your calling and your election you may confirm; for, while you do these, you will never lapse;
Yango wana, bandeko na ngai, bosala lisusu makasi koleka mpo na kolakisa na bato ete Nzambe abenga penza bino mpe apona bino; pamba te soki bosali bongo, bokotikala kokweya te.
11 for so abundantly shall be given to you the entrance of the eternal kingdom of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha. (aiōnios )
Na bongo, bokoyambama malamu kati na Bokonzi ya seko ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo mpe Mobikisi na biso. (aiōnios )
12 Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth.
Boye, nakobanda kozongisaka yango tango nyonso na makanisi na bino, atako boyebi yango malamu mpe bokangami makasi na bosolo oyo bozali na yango sik’oyo.
13 But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance:
Namoni ete ezali malamu mpo na ngai kolamusa makanisi na bino awa nazali nanu na bomoi kati na ndako ya kapo ya nzoto oyo;
14 knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be, ) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know.
pamba te nayebi malamu ete, kala mingi te, nakokabwana na nzoto yango, ndenge Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, ayebisaki ngai yango.
15 But be careful also that (these) you may continually have; that also after my going forth the memorial of them you may observe.
Nzokande, nakosala makasi mpo ete bozalaka tango nyonso na makoki ya kokanisaka yango, ezala nasila na ngai kokende.
16 For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators of his majesty.
Solo, tango toyebisaki bino makambo oyo etali koya ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, kati na nguya na yango nyonso, tolandaki te basambole oyo bato basalaka na mayele na bango, kasi na miso na biso moko, tomonaki Ye kati na kongenga nyonso ya nkembo na Ye.
17 For when he received from Aloha the Father honour and glory, while a voice came to him as this, after the glorious beauty of his majesty, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted;
Pamba te Nzambe Tata apesaki Ye lokumu mpe nkembo, tango mongongo kowuta na nkembo monene ya Nzambe elobaki na Ye: « Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Ye mingi. »
18 we also this voice heard from heaven, as it came to him when we were with him in the holy mount.
Mpe, biso moko, tango tozalaki elongo na Ye na likolo ya ngomba ya bule, toyokaki mongongo yango kowuta na Likolo.
19 We have that which is sure also, the word of prophecy; that into which you do well to look, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the sun arise in your hearts.
Tozali lisusu kondima bosolo ya maloba ya basakoli oyo, bozali solo kosala malamu wana bozali kotia makanisi na bino kati na yango lokola na mwinda oyo ezali kopela kati na esika ya molili, kino tongo etana mpe monzoto ya tongo engenga kati na mitema na bino.
20 While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution is not.
Liboso na nyonso, boyeba malamu ete moko te, na mayele na ye moko, akoki kolimbola maloba ya basakoli, oyo ezali kati na Makomi,
21 For not by the will of man came any prophecy, but while by the Holy Spirit led spake the holy men of God.
pamba te maloba yango ya basakoli eyaki te na nzela ya mokano ya moto, kasi ezali Molimo Mosantu nde atindikaki bato na koloba kowuta na Nzambe.
