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.
Siimon Pier, Jesu Kristo ŋuantieb yen u tuon sunl, ku din yab ga t mɔ ya dindal liel, kl tie t tienu mon kund yen t letua Jesu Kristo 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.
T tienu yen te yomdaano Jesu ŋal balg yen u yan duam nya ye yen i
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].
Nan u tien paalu ntenti yal bu piel g tod ti tin ya pia l mia yen t ŋand, lan na yua yinti n ten ti ya bam kl tie u yabdu yen u ŋanol po,
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.
lan yul ceod ku puoni yal yab k gɔ ŋan ŋam k yoyen ti klan Piet lan tɔgn l kan yin mɔ ji ya naan yen u tien, nan yin san k ŋa t jɔgnd yal ye dul nan kdugn t nian biid po.
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).
Li ya po mono ced ki bu mond k tug i dindan l k taan yen t ŋand, i ya taan yen ti ŋand yin pugn n bam.
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.
i ya pugn n ban m yin ya tie bon kul k dagd, i ya tie g dagd yin pugn f juunl, i ya pugn l juunl yin pugn l paniigl, i ya pugn l paniigl yi pugn tŋaand
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].
i ya pugn t ŋaand yin pugn n buam yen i lieb i ya pugn n buam yen i lieb i nugi m ya tien i leib po.
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.
G dugn l kul ya yeyenti, boŋanli, l kanŋa t pam t yomdan Jesu banm n.
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 k pia l banm kul ne tie juam i, u k nɔ Pagm, u sund o tuon bikpela kul piinu u.
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,
L ya po ced k maad n nidjab k i yin mond g ya se gal tie. Wan yini yen wan Lougol: nand, k dugn i ya se yeen, i kan ban k baa.
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)
Lani k t bu kua t yomdaan Jiesu Kristo diem n. (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.
L po ced kn bu mond Kŋam ktiedi l bona, yen yin den lban mono k yin gɔ ŋam kya se dinne i momonin.
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 la kl tie n po ninmonli min da pia imian ne min mond k find i k ŋam k ce gli.
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
Nan tyom dano Jiesu Kristo n dan dogd k Waantnand yen, n ban kinkuum jikpag.
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].
Ama n mond k n kuum puolpo mono, yin ŋa tian lbona po.
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.
T ktug kpelug lanya ka kpanjam ka k tundi yiesu paalu yen u guanm, ama t tudi nan tinm mono nlao yen t nimbinl yeni.
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.”
u ga tba u tien kan t kpiagol yen t yabnd ya yogu k t Tienu bu maadyeno tapolpo k maad u ne tie n bibuadigi, n ta n buam kul tu g tien u ya poi.
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
k t den ye yeno l jualpo kt gbad u niel k l nan tapol po
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].
T gɔ ban k tin ŋam g cɔln n magnuam yal ne kl tie nan l fidle yal yien l bubonl na tie momoni ya ca yen lan pan Panel ku siŋagun. ŋma big n ji Pii ti paln.
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),
Tn gɔ ŋam g ya ban k u tien magnuam ne g dabd t sogl Tuntuna,
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].
K dugn l ktie nuPosaal yanbuam po ka knmagnuam bang nan, ama foŋam n ŋmagol b mub kb maad u Tien po.
