< 2 Peter 1 >
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith as precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
Ọ bụ Saimọn Pita, odibo na onyeozi nke Jisọs Kraịst, Na-edegara ndị niile anyị na ha ketara otu ụdị okwukwe a dị oke ọnụahịa, nʼime ezi omume nke Chineke na Onye nzọpụta anyị Jisọs Kraịst akwụkwọ ozi a:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Ka amara na udo bara unu ụba, site na mmazu nke Chineke na nke Jisọs Onyenwe anyị.
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue.
O sitela nʼike o ji bụrụ Chi nye anyị ihe niile dị anyị mkpa ibi ndụ na-asọpụrụ ya, site nʼọmụma nke anyị mara ya, bụ onye ahụ kpọrọ anyị site nʼebube ya na ịdị mma ya.
4 Through these he has given us his precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires.
O sitela nʼihe ndị a nye anyị nkwa dị ukwuu na nke dị oke ọnụahịa, ka anyị site na ha keta oke nʼụdịdị nsọ ya, si otu a gbanarị ịrụ arụ dị nʼụwa, nke ọchịchọ ọjọọ na-ebute.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, your virtue with knowledge,
Nʼihi nke a, gbalịsienụ ike ịtụkwasị ịdị mma nʼelu okwukwe unu, ma na-atụkwasịkwanụ ihe ọmụma nʼelu ịdị mma,
6 your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,
tụkwasịkwanụ imerụ ihe nʼoke nʼelu ihe ọmụma, tụkwasịkwanụ ntachiobi nʼelu imerụ ihe na oke, ma na-atụkwasịkwanụ ibi ndụ dị ka ndị Chineke nʼelu ntachiobi.
7 your godliness with brotherly affection, and your brotherly affection with love.
Tụkwasịkwanụ obiọma nye ụmụnna nʼelu ibi ndụ dị ka ndị Chineke, ma na-atụkwasịkwanụ ịhụnanya nʼelu obiọma nye ụmụnna.
8 For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ọ bụrụ na unu enwe ihe ndị a nʼụzọ ha jubigakwara oke nʼime unu, mgbe ahụ ha ga-eme ka unu ndị na-adịghị amị mkpụrụ, bụrụ ndị na-amị mkpụrụ, na ndị bara uru nʼihe unu maara banyere Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten the cleansing of his former sins.
Ma onye ọbụla na-atụkwasịghị ihe ndị a nʼokwukwe ya nọ nʼọchịchịrị. Ọ naghị ahụ ụzọ. Ọ bụkwa onye na-echefu na a sachapụla ya mmehie ya, ndị o mere nʼoge gara aga.
10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm that you are among those whom God has called and chosen, because if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Nʼihi ya ụmụnna m, gbalịsienụ ike iguzosike nʼọkpụkpọ na nhọpụta unu. Nke a ga-eme ka unu hapụ ịsọ ngọngọ maọbụ daa.
11 For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you. (aiōnios )
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, a ga-enye unu ohere dị ukwuu iji bata nʼalaeze ebighị ebi nke Onyenwe anyị na Onye nzọpụta anyị Jisọs Kraịst. (aiōnios )
12 Therefore, I will not neglect to keep reminding you about these things, though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
Aga m na-aga nʼihu na-echetara unu ihe ndị a site nʼoge ruo nʼoge. Ọ bụ ezie na unu maara na ha na-eguzosikwa ike nʼeziokwu ahụ unu natara.
13 I think it is right, as long as I am in this bodily tent, to stir you up by way of reminder,
Ana m agụ ya nʼihe ziri ezi ịkpọte mmụọ unu na uche unu site nʼichetara unu ihe ndị a ugbu a m dị ndụ nʼanụ ahụ a.
14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst agwala m hoohaa, na m ga-eyipụ ya nʼoge na-adịghị anya.
15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure you will be able to recall these things at any time.
Aga m agbalịsi ike ịhụ na mgbe m hapụchara ụwa nke a, unu ga na-echeta ihe ndị a mgbe niile.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Ihe niile anyị na-akọrọ unu abụghị akụkọ ifo mmadụ kọrọ site nʼamamihe ya. Nʼihi na anyị kọwaara unu ihe banyere ike Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst na ọbịbịa ọ ga-abịa ọzọ. Ọ bụ anya anyị abụọ ka anyị ji hụ ebube nke ịbụ eze ya.
17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice came to him from the Majestic Glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Nʼihi na ọ natara nsọpụrụ na ebube site nʼaka Chineke bụ Nna mgbe olu ahụ si nʼebube ahụ dị ukwuu daa sị, “Onye a bụ Ọkpara m, onye m hụrụ nʼanya, onye ihe ya dị m ezi mma.”
18 We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Anyị onwe anyị nụrụ olu ahụ si nʼeluigwe daa mgbe anyị so ya nọdụ nʼelu ugwu nsọ ahụ.
19 So we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed. You will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Anyị nwapụtara na okwu ndị amụma ahụ bụ ihe mezuru emezu. Unu onwe unu kwesikwara ilezi anya nʼokwu ndị ahụ, dịka a ga-asị na ha bụ ìhè na-enwu nʼebe ọchịchịrị gbara nke na-adị ruo mgbe chi bọrọ, mgbe e mere ka kpakpando ọtụtụ walie nʼobi unu.
20 First of all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation.
Nke ka nke, ghọtanụ na okwu amụma ọbụla dị nʼakwụkwọ nsọ abụghị nke e dere dịka akọnuche mmadụ si dị.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Nʼihi na o nweghị okwu amụma ọbụla nke e chepụtara dị ka ọchịchọ obi mmadụ si dị, kama mgbe ndị mmadụ kwuru okwu nʼaha Chineke, ọ bụ Mmụọ Nsọ duru ha.
