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.
Mini SIMONO PIELIJESU KILISITInaacemo leni o tondo n diani yi poli tili, yinba yaaba n taa leni ti ki baa ya dandanli n tie bonmoanla, kelima ti TIENU leni JESU KILISITI ti candaano teginma po.
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.
Li ŋanbili leni mi yanduanma n ya pugidi yipo boncianla, kelimau TIENU leni ti DIEDO JESU ya bandima po.
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].
u TIENU ya paciamu po, O den puni ti li bonla kuli yaala n ba todi ti li miali nni leni u TIENU tuona nni, ki teni tin bandi wani yua n den yini ti, kpigidi leni o ŋanbili.
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.
Li tie lani yapo yo ke o puni ti wan den niani ya ǹoanianciai yii n tie bonbuakamoanla, ke yin tua yaaba n pia u TIENU tagu kelimalaa ǹoanuiani yaapo, ki faabi leni mi yanbuabiadima n cuani ya joangindi ŋanduna nni.
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).
Kelima lani yaapo yin moandi leni yi fidu kuli ki ya pugidi yi dandanli po u tagiŋamu, ki ya go pugidi u tagiŋamu po mi banmdima;
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.
ki ya go pugidi mi bandima po li yukubili, ki go ya pugidi li yukubili po li juunli, ki go ya pugidi li juunli po u TIENU todima.
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].
ki go ya pugidi u TIENU todima po mi kpiilibuama, ki ya go pugidi mi kpiilibuama po mi buama.
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.
Kelima laa bonla ya ye yi niinni ki pugidi-pugidi, li ba teni yin ya tuuni, ki go teni yin ya kpedi ti DIEDO JESU KILISITI ya bandima nniki pugida.
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 yua n ki pia laa bonla o niinni, tie juamo ke o nuni ŋuubi, ki sundi ke u TIENU ŋuudi ki ŋanbi o ki ǹani opo wan den tieni ya tuonbiadi ŋali yogu.
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,
Li ytie lani yaapo n kpiiba, yin moandi mani ki cie mi kpiama, ki teni u TIENU n yini yi ki gandi yi maama n ya se ki pa boŋanla. Kelima yi ya tiendi yeni yi kan ŋmadi ki ba ŋali abada.
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)
Leni yeni yo yi ba baa u TIENU n luodi ki yaani yipo yi DIEDO leni ti candaano JESU KILISITI yaama n kan pendi ŋali abda ya niinni. (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.
Li tie lani yapo yo ke n baa tiadi yi laa bonla yogunu kuli ba ke yi bani la, ki go se ke li pa i moamoani nni.
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],
N sua ke li tiegi ŋali ke n da ye li naa gbandieli nni mii tigini yi leni laa tiadima;
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
kelima n bani nani ti DIEDO JESU KILISITI n den doagidin po maama ke n ǹama li gbandieli ne niinni kan waagi;
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].
n go ba tieni ŋania ki teni ke n ya ǹani yi siiga puoli yin fidi ki ya tiadi laa bonla po yogunu kuli.
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.
Laa tie ke ti den ŋua bi nisaaliba n tia ki ǹani ya telimi leni bu nunfanbu ka ki wangi yi ti DIEDO JESU KILISITI gua cuama leni o paalu maama, ama kelima tin den laa o leni ti nunceli.
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.”
O den ba ti jigidi leni ti kpiagidi u TIENU ya n tie BAA ya kani ya yogunu ke u nialu den ǹani u TIENU bali kpiagidi nni ki yedi: one n tie n bija buadiga, n pali n mani yua yaapo ŋali boncianla.
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Ti den gbadi ke laa nialu maadi tanpoli po tin den ye leni o ya juali n gagidi ki ŋani yuli po ya yogunu yo.
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].
Lanwani ti dugi ke bi sawalipuaba maama tie moamoani cain. Li pundi yin fangi laa maama boŋanla, kelima mi tie nani ya fidisanga n yieni ya kaanu n biigi niinni yeni ŋali lan ba faa, mi yenma n yendi, ke ki taŋaŋmabiga mo n pudi yi pala nni.
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),
Yin kpa bandi ke oba kan fidi ki bundi baa mayenma ya sawalimaama n ye i diani nni o yuli po;
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].
kelima sawalimaama kuli ki ye o nisaalo yanbuama po. Ama u TIENU Fuoma Yua n den tudi ba ke bi maadi u TIENU n yedi yaala.
