2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Simone Petere, motlhanka le morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete. Lo ya kwa go: botlhe ba ba nang le tumelo e e tshwanang le ya rona. Tumelo e ke buang ka yone ke ya mofuta o Jesu Keresete Modimo le Mmoloki wa rona o e re nayang. E ntle jang e bile o tshiamo jang go naya mongwe le mongwe wa rona tumelo e, e e tshwanang.
2 May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
A o batla boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa Modimo thata le kagiso? Jalo ithute go mo itse botoka thata.
3 seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.
Gonne fa o mo itse thata, o tlaa go naya ka nonofo ya gagwe, sengwe le sengwe se o se batlang go tshela botshelo jwa boammaaruri: O tlhakanela le rona le eleng kgalalelo le tshiamo ya gagwe.
4 It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.
Mme ka yone fela nonofo e kgolo eo, o re neile khumo le masego a a hakgamatsang a o a solofeditseng, jaaka tsholofetso ya go re boloka mo dikeletsong le mo boleong jo bo re dikaganyeditseng, le go re naya mokgwa wa gagwe.
5 But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;
Mme go nna le dimpho tse, lo tlhoka mo gogolo go feta tumelo; lo tshwanetse gape go dira thata go nna tshiamo, le fa go sa lekana. Gonne lo tshwanetse go ithuta go itse Modimo thata le go bona se o batlang lo se dira.
6 along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
Gape, ithuteng go beela dikeletso tsa lona fa thoko gore lo tle lo nne pelotelele le tshiamo, ka boitumelo lo letla Modimo go tsamaya le lona.
7 along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
Se se tlaa dira gore kgato e e latelang e kgonege, e e leng ya lona go itumelela batho ba bangwe le go ba rata, mme morago lo tlaa gola mo go ba rateng thata.
8 If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Fa lo ntse lo tsweletse sentle mo tseleng e, lo tlaa nonofa mo moweng lo bo lo nna le maungo le tiriso mo go Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
9 For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.
Mme mongwe yo o palelwang ke go sala mekgwa e ya tumelo morago, ke sefofu, ebile ga a bone sentle, mme o lebetse gore Modimo o mo golotse mo botshelong jo bogologolo jwa sebe le gore jaanong o ka tshela botshelo jo bo tiileng, botshelo jo bo siametseng Morena.
10 For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.
Jalo bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, dirang thata go supa tota gore lommogo le ba Modimo o ba biditseng le ba o ba tlhophileng, mme ga lo kitla lo kgotswa kgotsa lo wa.
11 And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. (aiōnios g166)
Mme Modimo o tlaa lo bulela dikgoro tsa legodimo go tsena mo Bogosing jo bo sa khutleng jwa Morena le mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete. (aiōnios g166)
12 For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
Ke rulaganyetsa go nna ke lo gakolola dilo tse ka metlha le fa lo setse lo di itse ebile tota lo tsamaya sentle!
13 But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.
Mme Morena Jesu Keresete o mpontshitse gore malatsi a me mo lefatsheng a badilwe, ke gaufi le go swa.
14 For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.
Fela fa ke santse ke le fa ke ikaelela go nna ke lo romelela dikgakololo tse,
15 So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.
ke solofela go di gatelela sentle mo go lona gore lo tle lo di gakologelwe ka lobaka lo loleele fa ke sena go tloga.
16 For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.
Gonne re ne re sa lo bolelele dinaane fa re lo tlhalosetsa nonofo ya Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete le go tla ga gagwe gape. Ka matlho a me ke bonye phatsimo e kgolo le kgalalelo ya gagwe!
17 He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."
Ke ne ke le gone mo thabeng e e boitshepo fa a phatshima ka tlotlo e o e neilweng ke Modimo Rraagwe;
18 And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
ke utlwile lentswe leo le le galalelang la Bogosi le le neng le tswa legodimong, le re, “Yo ke Morwaake yo o rategang thata; ke itumela thata ka ene.”
19 And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Jalo re bonye ebile re tlhomamisitse gore se Baporofiti ba se buileng se diragetse. Lo tlaa bo lo dira sentle go tlhokomela sengwe le sengwe se ba se kwadileng, gonne jaaka lesedi le phatshima mo felong fa go lefifi, mafoko a bone a re thusa go tlhaloganya dilo di le dintsi tse gongwe di ka bong di fifetse ebile di le thata. Mme fa lo ela tlhoko boammaaruri jo bo hakgamatsang jwa mafoko a baporofiti, jalo lesedi le tlaa phatsima mo meweng ya lona mme Keresete Naledi ya moso o tlaa phatsima mo dipelong tsa lona.
20 But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;
Gonne ga go na polelelo-pele epe e e kwadilweng mo Lokwalong e e ikakanyeditsweng ke moporofiti ka bo ene. E ne e le ka Mowa O O Boitshepo o o neng o le mo bathong ba ba ratang Modimo o o ba neetseng molaetsa wa boammaruri o o tswang kwa Modimong.
21 for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
