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.
Saminu sa agusa me Birus, urere u Yeso, unakaura ka Yeso, uhena ahira an desa a nya we muriba mu inko iriba i huma usandu iriba iriba iru, ahira katuma ka ge be sa Asere unu ubura uru ma ma wuzi duru.
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.
Nihuma man ti cukum ti man ti wa gbardang ahira ashi, uwutu urusa Asere nan Yeso.
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].
Asere unu bari umeme ma uwuzi duru u aye u aye urizo uti mum mum sa ta wuna urii u ira nan utarsa ume, urusa udesa ma titin duru barki ukem uni nonzo nan ni ti eki nume.
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.
An desa ahira awe ma wuzin duru urizo nan utira utize gbardang tumeme in ni nonzo, barki ahira imum igino me icukuno ana tanu nan Asere ahira anipum, barki sa ya aka ahira ucurome uginome sa ura unē nan aje aburi azenzen sa ayozo.
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).
Barki ahira aginome ani, wuzani seke, i kinki u inko iriba ini iriba ihuma, iriba ihuma rusa imum igebesa izi irizi.
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.
Irusa imumu ihuma, nan umeki unice nan utira iriba nan utarsa Asere.
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].
Utarsa Asere nan uhem uni henu, uhem uni henu nan uhem.
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.
Ingi izin in mu riba mu ginome ma cukuno mushi, ingi imum iginome i ukingizi, idi wu shi ida cukuno sarki imum iwuzaba, nan anu zatu imum iwuza ahira Yeso ba.
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.
Barki vat desa ma dira mu ruba mu ginome, me urubo mani nani uhira umeme uzi cin-cin, ma perkeme a kpici me madini mameme mu datti.
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,
Barki anime, shi ni henu kinki u nya ace barki utittta sa atitti shi nan uzauka ushi sa awuzi. Barki ingi ya tarsa ida irizo shi ba.
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)
A'enime, adi nya shi unaaa uribe akura Asere unu ubura uru. (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.
Barki anime tida venken duru uringizi ushi imum igino ba, isa rusa, ya tunno in nikara ahira unya iriba iginome sa izini.
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],
Uhira um imum i huma ini, ingi in vengize anyimo anipum in geme, in dingi uboo ushi unaa uringizi.
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
In sa rusa ma aye mamu uharzina nan nipum num nigeme, kasi sa Asere am Yeso ma bezum.
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].
Indi wuzi ubinani ini kara num, barki iringizi in ini inka madusa.
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.
Da itenten imacico ini ta tarsa, sa buka shi ubari ugomo Asere, nan ti cukum tumeme, ni nonzo nume nini ta iri jenjeng.
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.”
Ma kabi ubari nan ninonzo ahira Asere ugomo, ma kuri ma nonzikome, ni magmirang ni ē aseseri, ''unu ugeme vana um mani sa ahem in me, desa in wuza iriba irum nan me kadure.''
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Hare wani ta kunna myyran niginome sa atuzo aseseri, barki tazi nigome nan me azeseri anipo ni lau niginome.
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].
Uhana ukani a kinki duru abaga aginome, ya wuna uri ahira ashi me, iwuzi seke ahira tini, kasi upitila u nyinza masāa ahira amarēe uhana usana ahira, bi wirang bi usana ahira bbi nya masā iriba ishime.
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),
Unu tuba rusani, rusani ashi anime agi ba tire tize sada ki apoki amatagarda barki iriba unubu.
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].
Barki tize tiginome ada kenze tini ahira iriba unu, anu wani wani cas bi be biriri bi wuza nan we, Asere aboo tize ati nyo tuweme.
