2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received the same precious faith as we have received, faith in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Na Haimona Pita, he pononga, a he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga kua whiwhi tahi nei tatou ki te whakapono utu nui, i runga o te tika o to tatou Atua, o Ihu Karaiti, o te Kaiwhakaora.
2 May grace and peace increase in measure in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Kia whakanuia te aroha noa me te rangimarie ki a koutou, i runga i te matauranga ki te Atua, ki a Ihu hoki, ki to tatou Ariki.
3 All the things concerning divine power for life and godliness have been given to us through the knowledge of God, who called us through his own glory and excellence.
Kua homai na hoki e tona kaha Atua ki a tatou nga mea katoa mo te ora, mo te karakia pai, i te mea ka matau nei ki te Kaikaranga i a tatou i runga i te kororia, i te pai:
4 Through these, he gave us precious and great promises, so that you might be sharers in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world that is caused by evil desires.
Na enei hoki i riro mai ai i a tatou nga kupu whakaari, he mea nui whakaharahara, he mea utu nui; ma enei hoki koutou ka whiwhi ai ki te ahua Atua, i a koutou ka mawhiti nei i te pirau i te ao, ara i to te hiahia.
5 For this reason, do your best to add goodness to your faith; and to goodness add knowledge;
Ma reira nei hoki, me whakapau rawa to koutou uaua, honoa iho ano te pai ki runga ki to koutou whakapono; ki runga hoki ki te pai ko te matauranga;
6 to knowledge add self-control; to self-control add endurance; to endurance add godliness;
Ki runga ki te matauranga ko te pehi o te hiahia; ki runga ki te pehi o te hiahia ko te manawanui; ki runga ki te manawanui ko te karakia pai;
7 to godliness add brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection add love.
Ki runga ki te karakia pai ko te atawhai ki nga teina; ki runga ki te atawhai ki nga teina ko te aroha.
8 If these things are in you and grow in you, you will not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ki te mea hoki kei a koutou enei mea, ki te nui haere hoki, ka meinga koutou kia kaua e mangere, kia kaua e huakore i runga i te matauranga ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti.
9 But whoever lacks these things is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Ko te tangata hoki kahore nei i a ia enei mea, he matapo, he atarua, kua wareware ki te horoinga o ona hara o mua.
10 Therefore, brothers, do your best to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you will not stumble.
Mo konei, e oku teina, kia puta to koutou uaua ki te whakapumau i to koutou karangatanga, i to koutou whiriwhiringa: ki te penei hoki ta koutou mahi e kore rawa koutou e tapepa:
11 In this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Penei hoki ka whiwhi nui koutou ki te huarahi tomo atu ki te rangatiratanga mutungakore o to tatou Ariki, ara o te Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu Karaiti. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will always be ready to remind you of these things, although you know them, and although you are strong in the truth you now have.
Mo reira ano e kore ahau e mangere ki te whakamahara tonu i a koutou ki enei mea, e matau ana raia koutou, kua oti ano te whakau ki runga ki te mea pono, kei a koutou na.
13 It is proper for me to think, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by way of reminder.
Ki toku whakaaro hoki, i ahau e noho ana i tenei tapenakara, he mea tika ano kia whakaoho ahau i a koutou, kia whakamahara;
14 For I know that the putting off of my tent will be soon, because our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed this to me.
E mohio ana hoki ahau e kore e wheau ka mahue tenei tapenakara oku, ka pera ano me ta to tatou Ariki, me ta Ihu Karaiti, i whakakite mai ai ki ahau.
15 I will make every effort to see that after my departure you may be always able to remember these things.
Ka puta ano hoki toku uaua kia mau tonu to koutou mahara ki enei mea i muri i toku matenga.
16 For we did not follow cleverly invented myths when we made known to you the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Ehara hoki i te mea he whai ta matou i nga kupu i totoa e te whakaaro tinihanga, i te whakapuakanga o te kaha, o te haerenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou; engari he kaititiro ano matou ki tona nui.
17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice was brought to him by the Majestic Glory saying, “This is my beloved Son, with him I am well pleased.”
I riro hoki ia ia he honore, he kororia na te Atua Matua, i te putanga mai o taua reo ki a ia i roto i te kororia nui rawa, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai.
18 We ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
I rongo ano matou ki tenei reo e puta mai ana i te rangi, i a matou i tona taha i runga i te maunga tapu.
19 For we have this prophetic word made more sure, and you do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Katahi ka u rawa te kupu poropiti ki a tatou inaianei; pai tonu ki te anga to koutou whakaaro ki reira, he rama hoki e tiaho ana i te wahi pouri, kia puao ra ano te ra, kia ara ra ano te whetu o te ata i roto i o koutou ngakau:
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy comes from someone's own interpretation.
Kia mohio hoki i te tuatahi, kahore he poropititanga o te karaipiture nona ake ona tikanga.
21 For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man, but men spoke from God when they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Ehara hoki i te mea na te whakaaro o te tangata i puta mai ai te poropititanga i mua, engari he mea whakamahara na te Wairua Tapu i korero ai nga tangata tapu a te Atua.
