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.
An Simon Petro, misumba kendo jaote mar Yesu Kristo, Andikonu un joma oseyudo yie ma nengone tek marom gi yiewa nimar Nyasachwa kod Jawarwa Yesu Kristo ema nomiyowago kuom adierane:
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.
Ngʼwono kod kwe mogundho obed kodu kumedo ngʼeyo Nyasaye kod Yesu ma Ruodhwa.
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].
Teko mar Nyasaye maduongʼ osemiyowa gik moko duto ma wadwaro mondo wabed mangima ka waluoro Nyasaye, kuom ngʼeyo Jal mane oluongowa kuom duongʼne owuon kod berne.
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.
Kuom magi osemiyowa singruokne maduongʼ kendo ma nengogi tek, mondo e kuom gigo unyalo kawo kit Nyasaye kendo mondo utony ua e kethruok ma gombo maricho ma pinyni kelo.
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).
Kuom mano, temuru matek kaka unyalo mondo umed ber e yieu, to bende medeuru ngʼeyo;
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.
to ngʼeyo to medeuru ritruok, to ritruok medeuru horuok, to horuok to medeuru luoro Nyasaye,
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].
to luoro Nyasaye to medeuru ngʼwono mar owete; to ngʼwono mar owete to medeuru hera.
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.
Nikech ka un gi kit timbego mogundho, to gibiro gengʼou mondo kik ubed joma nono ma ok nyag olemo e ngʼeyo ma un-go kuom Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo.
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.
To ka ngʼato onge gi kidogi e ngimane to en ngʼama neno machiegni kendo ma muofu nimar wiye osewil ni ne osepwodhe oweyo richoge machon.
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,
Emomiyo, jowetena, meduru bedo gi siso mar rito luong mane oluongugo kod yiero maru ka un gi adier. Nikech ka utimo gigi to ok unupodhi,
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)
kendo unuyud rwak malich ei pinyruoth mochwere mar Ruodhwa kendo Jawarwa Yesu Kristo. (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.
Omiyo pod aparonu wechegi, kata obedo ni ungʼeyogi kendo uguroru motegno e adiera makoro un-go.
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],
Aparo ni en gima ber mondo achiew pachu ka pod anie kiru mar ringruokni,
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
nikech angʼeyo ni achiegni weyo kiruni mana kaka Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo osenyisa maler.
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].
Kendo abiro temo matek mondo ane ni ka aseweyou to ubiro siko kuparo wechegi.
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.
Ne ok waluwo sigendini ma dhano ochuogo gi riekone kane wanyisou teko kod biro mar Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, to wawegi ne wan joneno mar duongʼne.
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.”
Nikech ne oyudo luor kod duongʼ kuom Nyasaye Wuoro kane dwol obirone moa e Duongʼ Mamalo Moloyo, kawacho niya, “Ma e Wuoda mahero, en ema chunya mor kode!”
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Wan wawegi ne wawinjo dwolno mane oa e poloni, kane wan kode ewi got maler.
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].
Omiyo wawacho weche jonabi mane gikoro makoro oselernwa tiendgi. Ka uchiko itu ne wechegi to ubiro konyoru, nikech gichalo gi ler marieny kawuok e mudho, nyaka chop odiechiengʼno yawre mi ler mar sulwe mokinyi meny chunjeu.
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),
To moloyo mago duto, nyaka ungʼe ni onge wach mokor mar Muma ma janabi nyalo loko tiendgi gi pache owuon.
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].
Nikech weche mokor manie Muma ne ok owuok e pach dhano, to Nyasaye ema nomiyo ji owuoyo, ka gin e bwo teko mar Roho Maler.
