2 Peter 1
1 To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an Apostle of Jesus Christ.
Siman Bitrus, bawa da kuma manzon Yesu Kiristi, Zuwa ga waɗanda ta wurin adalcin Allahnmu da Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi sun sami bangaskiya mai daraja irin tamu.
2 May blessing and peace be yours in ever-increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
Alheri da salama su zama naku a yalwace ta wurin sanin Allah da Yesu Ubangijinmu.
3 For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
Ikonsa na Allahntaka ya ba mu kome da muke bukata don rayuwa da kuma tsoron Allah ta wurin sanin wanda ya kira mu ta wurin ɗaukakarsa da nagartarsa.
4 For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
Ta wurin waɗannan ya ba mu alkawaransa masu girma da kuma masu daraja, domin ta wurinsu ku iya yin tarayya cikin Allahntakarsa, ku kuma kuɓuta daga lalatar da take cikin duniya wadda mugayen sha’awace-sha’awace suke jawowa.
5 Yes, and for this very reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
Saboda haka, ku yi iyakar ƙoƙari ku ƙara wa bangaskiyarku nagarta; ga nagarta kuwa, ku ƙara mata sani;
6 knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
ga sani kuma ku ƙara masa kamunkai; ga kamunkai kuma ku ƙara da daurewa; ga daurewa kuwa ku ƙara da tsoron Allah;
7 piety by brotherly affection, and brotherly affection by love.
ga tsoron Allah kuma ku ƙara da nuna alheri ga’yan’uwa; ga nuna alheri ga’yan’uwa kuma ku ƙara da ƙauna.
8 For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Domin in kuna ƙaruwa a waɗannan halaye, za su kāre ku daga rashin tasiri da rayuwa na rashin amfani cikin saninku na Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi.
9 Surely the man who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that he has been purified from his sins of the past!
Amma in wani ba shi da su, ba shi da hangen nesa ke nan kuma makaho ne, ya kuma manta cewa an tsarkake shi daga zunubansa na dā.
10 Therefore, Brothers, do your best to put God’s Call and Selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
Saboda haka’yan’uwana, ku ƙara aniya wajen tabbatar da kiranku da zaɓenku da aka yi. Gama in kuka yi waɗannan abubuwa, ba za ku taɓa fāɗuwa ba,
11 For thus you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
za ku sami kyakkyawar marabta cikin madawwamin mulkin Ubangijinmu da Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi. (aiōnios g166)
12 I shall, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the Truth that you now hold.
Saboda haka kullum zan tuna muku da waɗannan, ko da yake kun sansu kun kuma kahu ƙwarai cikin gaskiyar da kuke da ita yanzu.
13 But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this ‘tent,’ to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
A ganina ya dace in tunashe ku muddin ina raye cikin tentin wannan jiki,
14 for I know that the time for this ‘tent’ of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
domin na sani na kusa in ajiye shi a gefe, yadda Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi ya nuna mini a sarari.
15 So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
Zan kuwa yi iyakacin ƙoƙari in ga cewa bayan rabuwata kullum za ku iya tuna da waɗannan abubuwa.
16 For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the Coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.
Ba mu bi tatsuniyoyin da aka ƙaga da wayo sa’ad da muka gaya muku game da ikon Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi da zuwansa ba, sai dai mu shaidu ne na ɗaukakarsa mai girma da muka gani da ido.
17 For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when from the Glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these — ‘This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight.’
Gama ya sami girma da ɗaukaka daga Allah Uba sa’ad da murya ta zo masa daga Mafificiyar Ɗaukaka cewa, “Wannan Ɗana ne, wanda nake ƙauna; da shi nake jin daɗi ƙwarai.”
18 These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from Heaven, when we were with him on that Sacred Mountain.
Mu kanmu mun ji wannan muryar da ta zo daga sama sa’ad da muke tare da shi a kan dutse mai tsarki.
19 And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the Prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the Day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts.
Muna kuwa da maganar annabawa da aka ƙara tabbatar mana, zai fi kyau in kuka lura da ita, kamar hasken da yake haskakawa a wuri mai duhu, har yă zuwa wayewar gari da kuma haskakawar tauraron asubahi a zukatanku.
20 But first be assured of this: — There is no prophetic teaching found in Scripture that can be interpreted by man’s unaided reason;
Gaba da kome dai, dole ku gane cewa babu annabcin Nassin da ya fito daga fassarar annabi da kansa.
21 for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of man, but men, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
Gama annabci bai taɓa samo tushensa daga nufin mutum ba, sai dai mutane sun yi magana daga Allah yayinda Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya bishe su.
