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.
Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaareynne iya aylley, taani, Simooni Phexiroosi, nu Xoossaanne nuna ashshiya Yesuus Kiristtoosa xillotethaa baggara nuyssa mela al77o ammano ekkidayssatas ha dabddaabbiya xaafas.
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.
Xoossaanne nu Godaa Yesuusa eron aadho keehatethaynne saroy hinttew kumo.
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].
Ba bonchchoninne lo77otethan nuna xeegida iya eron de7osinne Xoossaa daanidi daanaw koshshiyaba ubbaa Xoossay ba wolqqan nuus immis.
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.
Hintte iita amo gaason medhettiya ha alamiyan de7iya bashshaafe kessi ekkanaadanne Xoossaa xoossatethan shaakettanaada, ha imotata baggara daro al77onne gita ufayssaa nuus immis.
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).
Hessa gisho, minnidi, hintte ammanuwa bolla lo77otethi, lo77otetha bolla eratethi,
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.
eratetha bolla bana haaro, bana haaro bolla gencca, gencca bolla Xoossaa daano,
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].
Xoossaa daano bolla ishatetha keehatethi, ishatetha keehatetha bolla siiqo gujjite.
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.
Hayssati hinttew daridi de7iyabaa gidikko, Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa eron maaddiya asinne ayfera de7iya asi oothana.
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.
Shin hessati baynna oonikka matan de7iyabaa xalaala be7iya qooqe. I ba kase nagaraappe geeyidayssa dogis.
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,
Hessa gisho, ta ishato, hintte xeessanne hintte dooruwa miinthanaw kaseyssafe aathidi minnite. Hintte hessata oothiyabaa gidikko, dhubetteketa.
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)
Hessan nu Godaanne nuna ashshiya Yesuus Kiristtoosa merinaa kawotethaa geliya kumetha maatay hinttew imettana. (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.
Hessa gisho, hintte hayssata eriyabaanne he oykkida tuman minnidi de7iyabaa gidikkoka, taani hayssata ubba wode hinttena hassayiso aggike.
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],
Taani shemppora de7ida wode ubban hinttena hassayisanayssi koshshiyabaa gada qoppays.
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
Nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosi taw qonccisadayssada taani ha hayqqiya asatethaa gam77onna qaara yeggada baanayssa erays.
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].
Taani hinttefe shaakettikokka hintte hayssata ubba wode akeekana mela taw dandda7ettiyabaa ubbaa oothana.
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.
Nuuni Godaa Kiristtoosa wolqqaanne iya yuussabaa hinttew odey, iya gita bonchchuwa be7idippe attin medhdhi kessida hayse gidenna.
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.”
Daro wolqqaama bonchchuwafe, “Taani ufayttiya, ta dosiya na7ay hayssa” yaagiya qaalay yida wode, Xoossaa Aawappe bonchchonne galata ekkis.
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Nuuni geeshsha deriya bolla iyara de7iya wode he qaalay saloppe yishin si7ida.
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].
Nuus hessafe aadhdhiya ammanettida tinbbite qaali de7ees. Sa7i wonttana gakkanawunne bakkali hintte wozanan dolana gakkanaw, dhuman poo7iya poo7o asi naageyssada, hintte he qaalaa naagikko lo77o ootheeta.
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),
Ubbaafe kasetidi hayssa erite. Geeshsha Maxaafan xaafettida tinbbite qaala oonikka ba dosidaada birshshanaw dandda7enna.
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].
Tinbbite ubbaa, Xoossay kiittida asati Geeshsha Ayyaanay kaalethin, odidosonappe attin asa shenen odibookkona
