2 Peter 1
1 I, Simon Peter, [am writing this letter to you. I] serve Jesus Christ, and am an apostle [appointed by] him. [I am sending this letter to you] whom God has caused to believe [in Christ] just like he [caused us(exc) apostles to believe in Christ]. You and we have (equally been given the/both been given the same) privilege of believing in Jesus Christ. He [is] God, he is righteous, he is the one whom we [worship], and he is our Savior.
Simon Bitrus kucin nin gono kadura in Yesus Kristi, uncindu kita na lenge na ina seru uyinnu sa uyenu ucine urume nan ghiruk, uyinnu sa uyenu nan nya katwa kacine Kutelle in Yesus Kristi.
2 [I pray that God] will continue to act very kindly towards you, and give you (a deep/very much) [inner] peace, because you [truly] know God and Jesus, who is our Lord.
Na ubunu Kutelle so nan ghinu, na lissosin limang in yiru Kutelle kpin nan nya mine nnuzu in Yesu cikilari bit.
3 [God] [PRS] has given us everything [that we need] in order that we might receive [eternal] life and in order that we might [live] (in a godly way/in a way that pleases him). He gives us that by the power that he has because he is God, and he has also given it to us as a result of our knowing him. He is the wonderful and perfect one who chose us [to be his people].
Nafo imon likara Kutelle vat in lai nin fiu Kutelle in niari unuzu in yiru Kutelle, ulenge na ana yicila nari nan nya ngigibg nin lidu licine.
4 Being [glorious and perfect], he has promised us [that he will do] very great and (priceless/very precious) things [for us]. [He has also promised] you that by [believing what he has promised] you will be able to act [righteously], just like God acts [righteously], and that you will be free from being morally depraved/corrupted, and that you will not be [like] those who do not believe in Christ and are morally depraved because of their desire to do things that are evil.
Nan nyan ni lele, ana niari ucinu nnuu un likara ucine. ana su nani ti nan so anan se nikop nan nya nidowo kitene, kimal na ina se usurtu nnuzu likara linanzang nin su nimon yii.
5 Because God has done all that, by trying very hard, make sure that you not only believe [in Christ], but that you are also living morally good lives. And make sure that you are not only living morally good lives, but that you also know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely).
Bara imon irum ilele, shonon ati nsu nimon icine nan nyan in yinnu sa uyenu nin su katwa kacine nin yinu.
6 And make sure that you not only know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely), but that you also control what you say and do. And make sure that you not only control what you say and do, but that you are also steadfast/patient. And make sure that you are not only (steadfast/patient when you suffer), but that you are also godly.
Nan nya in yru seu uminu nati, nan nya nminu nati sen uteru nayi nan nyan teru nayi, yitan nin fiu Kutelle,
7 And make sure that you not only (are godly/live in a way that pleases God), but that you also have a concern for your fellow believers, as brothers and sisters [ought to have] for each other. And make sure that you not only have a concern for your fellow believers, but that you also love [others].
nan nya fiu Kutelle yitan nin su linuana, nan nya nsu linuana yitan nin su nati.
8 If you do these [things], and if [you do them] more and more, that demonstrates that knowing our Lord Jesus Christ (is very effective/produces good results) [LIT] in your lives.
Asa ile imone di nan nya mine, idin kunju nan nya mine, na ima yitu are ba sa anan sali mumat nan nyan in yirun in cikilari Yesu Kristi.
9 If these [qualities] are not present in people, it means they are not aware [that these things are important, just like a blind person is not aware of what is around him]. They [think only about earthly matters, just like] [MET] a shortsighted person [sees clearly only things that are near]. It seems that they have forgotten that God has forgiven them for their former sinful lives.
Ama ulenge na a dira ilenge imone, adin yenju imon ile na idi susutari cas; adi udu. Ame nshawa ukusu nalapia kuse me.
10 Instead of [acting like those people], try to confirm/prove by the way you conduct your lives that you are among those whom [God] has chosen [DOU] to be his people. If you do that, you will certainly never become separated from God,
Bara nani, linuana, shonon ati it uyiculu mine nin feru mine durso nati mine. Asa idn ile imone, na ima tirzu ba.
11 and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
Bara nani mmari midya wari mma niminu nan nya kilari tigo. Ncikalari bite nin nan tucu Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)
12 I intend to keep on reminding you very frequently [HYP] about these [matters], even though you [already] know them and are firmly convinced that they are true.
Bara nani, ko nin shi mma lizizin muni ile imone, in yiru iyiru inin, idi nin nakara nan nya kidegene nene.
13 I consider it right that I should help you [to continually think about these matters] by reminding you [about them] as long as I am alive [EUP],
Ndin yenju kubi nda dert nzunzun minue nlizun minu nbelen nile imone, ligang lissosin ning nan nya kudanga kone.
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
Bara meng yiru nine men ma kalu kadanga nghe, nafo na cikilari bite Yesus Kristi na dursoi.
15 Moreover, I will (make every effort/try hard) [by writing these things down] to enable you to remember them at all times after I have died [EUP].
Meng ba su ligan. ....? nighe, bara anughe inan lizizino ilenge imone kimal nnyiu nighe.
16 We [apostles] told you that our Lord Jesus Christ [acts] powerfully and that he is coming back [some day]. We were not basing [what we told you] on stories that we had cleverly (invented/made up). Instead, we told you what we ourselves saw with our own eyes, that [the] Lord Jesus is supremely great.
Bara na arik wa dortu ti beliu minu gegeme ba ubeleng likara nin dak ncikilari bite Yesu Kristi, ama ti wa ti iyizi nba in yenun gongong me.
17 God, our Father, greatly honored him when God’s great glory/brightness surrounded him, and God [MTY] said, “This is my Son, whom I love very much; I am very pleased with him.”
Bara awa seru kiti Kutelle ucife uzazunu nin gongong na liwui wa nuzu kitene kani nin likara nin gongong li woro, “Ulengene usaun nighari, unan su nayi ning, ulenge na ayi ning di nin su me kang.”
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Ti wa lanza liwui tone na liwa nuzu kitene Kutelle: na tiwa di ligowe nan ghe kitene kikup liau.
19 We also have [the Scriptures] that the prophets [wrote about Christ long ago], which are completely reliable/trustworthy. You should (pay attention to/think carefully about) [what they wrote], because [what they wrote enables you to know whether what is taught to you is true or whether it is false] [SIM], like a lamp that is shining in a dark place [enables people to see where they are going] [SIM]. [You should] ([pay attention to/think carefully about]) [what they wrote] until [our Lord Jesus Christ comes back and enables] you [SYN] [to know God fully, which will be like when] [MET] (a day dawns/daylight comes) and the morning star rises [and we can see it clearly].
Ti di nin lirun anabci ulenge na uso kidegen, ulenge na ucara i ceo unin umasin nafo ula na uta kanan nan nyan kitin sirti na kwuidinding nda fiini nkwuidinding nta nkanang nibinai mine.
20 It is important that you realize that no one can interpret/explain by himself [the meaning of] what the prophets wrote [in the Scriptures] without [the help of God’s Spirit] (OR, no [part of the] Scriptures originated with the prophet himself),
Tun cizinan i yining ulele, nworu anabci ale nainyertine na udin nuzu nkpilizu nnan liru nin nin Kutellere litime ba.
21 because no human beings decided [to make those prophecies]. On the contrary, those who spoke [messages from God] did that because it was the Holy Spirit who caused them to do [it, and therefore the Spirit must help us to interpret/understand their meaning].
Bara na amon anabci na dak unuzu nkpilizu unit ba, ama anitari Uruhu din dortu nin ghinu i pila ulirue i bele uning.
