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.
I Simeona Petera, fetrek’oro naho Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey, Ho amo fa nandrambe fatokisañe mirai-hasiñe ami’ty anay, añamy havantañan’ Añahare naho i Mpandrombak’ antikañeio—Iesoà Norizañey:
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.
Hasoa naho fañanintsiñe hiregorego ama’ areo handrendrehañe an’Andrianañahare naho Iesoà Talèntikañey.
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].
Oniñe te i haozaran’ Añaharey ty nanolotse antikañe ze hene paiaeñe ami’ty haveloñe toy naho ami’ty fiambenañe Hake am-paharendrehañe to ie nikanjy antika ho ami’ty enge’e naho ty hasoa’ey.
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.
Ie ro nanolora’e an-tika o fampitamañe jabajaba naho sarotseo, soa t’ie ama’e ro hitraok’ ami’ty vintan’ Añahare naho fa nibolitits’ amo drao-lo’ ty voatse toio.
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).
Ie amy zay, milozoha hatovon-kavañonañe ami’ty fatokisa’areo naho hilala amy havañonañey,
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.
naho filieram-batañe amy hilalay naho fahaliñisañe amy filieram-batañey naho fiasian-Kake amy fahaliñisañey
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].
naho firañetañe amy fiasiañey vaho fikokoañe amy firañetañey.
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.
Aa ie ama’ areo vaho miraorao, ro isebaña’e tsy halejolejo tsy ho po-bokatse ami’ty faharendrehañe i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
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.
F’ie tsy ama’e, le rìpeke, toe fey, amy te nandikofa’e ty nañeferañe aze amo hakeo taoloo.
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,
Ie amy zao ry longo, imaneo an-joton-tro ty hañatò i fikanjiañe naho fijoboñañe anahareoy, amy t’ie mitoloñe am’ irezay, le lia’e tsy hitsikapy,
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)
vaho hatobake ama’areo ty fizilihañe am-Pifehea-tsy modo’ i Talè naho Mpañàha an-tika, Iesoà Norizañey. (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.
Aa le tsy hapoko t’ie ho tiahieñe am’irezay ndra te fa fohi’ areo vaho ijohaña’ areo ami’ty hatò ze ama’ areo henaneo.
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],
Eka ataoko mañeva ty hañetseketseke ty fitiahia’ areo, izaho mbe an-kiboho’ ty tsandriñe atoañe,
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
fa apotako te hadoko aniany ty kibohotse toy, amy nampalangesa’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey amakoy.
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].
Aa le imaneako te izaho fa nonjoneñe añe, ty hahatiahia’areo nainai’e irezay.
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.
Tsy nañorike talily finoromporom-pañahy te nampandrendreha’ay ama’areo ty haozarañe naho fitotsaha’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey, f’ie valolombeloñe nahaisake i enge’ey,
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.”
ie nandrambe hasiñe naho engeñe aman’ Añahare Rae, naho niheo ama’e i fiarañanañañe boak’ amy Engem-bolonahetseiy, nanao ty hoe: Intoy ty Anak’ isoko, O toe norokoo.
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Tsinano’ay i fiarañanañañe boak’ andindìñe ey, t’ie nindre ama’e amy vohitse miavakey.
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].
Toe aman-tika o tsaram-pitoky niventeñeo, le mahasoa anahareo ty hitsendreñe, hoe t’ie jiro mireandreañe am-pimoromoroñañe ao, ampara’ te manjirike i àndroy vaho mionjoñe i misaron-kazavañey.
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),
Le maharendreha hey añ’arofo ao te tsy amy sokitse masiñey ty fitokiañe niboak’ ami’ty fisafiria’ ondaty.
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].
Amy te mbe lia’e tsy nanoeñe ami’ty zoton-tro’ ondaty ty fitokiañe, fe ondaty nentoe’ i Arofo-Masiñeio t’i ninday taroñe boak’ aman’ Añahare.
