2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ:
Nye, Simɔn Petro, Yesu Kristo ƒe dɔla kple apostolo gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na ame siwo, to míaƒe Mawu kple Yesu Kristo ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye me la hã xɔ xɔse si xɔ asi abe mía tɔ ene la:
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ blibo me, to sidzedze Mawu kple Yesu míaƒe Aƒetɔ la me.
3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,
Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ tsɔ nu sia nu si míehiãna na agbe kple mawusosroɖa, to míaƒe sidzedze eya amea me, ame si yɔ mí to eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple dɔmenyonyo me.
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
To esiawo me wòtsɔ eƒe nunana gã kple ŋugbedodo xɔasi na mí, ale be to wo dzi míakpɔ gome le eƒe mawunyenye me, eye míasi le gbegblẽ si ŋutilã ƒe nudzodzro vɔ̃wo he va xexea me la nu.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
Le susu sia ta miɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe be miatsɔ nyuiwɔwɔ akpe ɖe miaƒe xɔse ŋu, sidzedze nakpe ɖe dɔmenyonyo ŋu,
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
ɖokuidziɖuɖu nakpe ɖe sidzedze ŋu, vevidodo nu nakpe ɖe ɖokuidziɖuɖu ŋu, mawumegbenɔnɔ nakpe ɖe vevidodo nu ŋu;
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
dɔmenyowɔwɔ na havi nakpe ɖe mawumegbenɔnɔ ŋu, eye lɔlɔ̃ hã nakpe ɖe dɔmenyowɔwɔ ŋu.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Elabena ne nɔnɔme siawo dzi ɖe edzi le mia me le agbɔsɔsɔ me la, woakpe ɖe mia ŋu be miaganye ŋutetemanɔŋutɔwo kple ame matsekuwo le miaƒe sidzedze míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo me o.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Ke ne nɔnɔme mawo mele ame aɖe me o la, enye ame si mekpɔa nu dea adzɔge o, eye eƒe ŋkuwo gbã, eye wòŋlɔ be be woklɔ ye ŋu tso yeƒe tsã nu vɔ̃wo me.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Eya ta nɔvinyewo, midze agbagba ɖe edzi wu tsã be miakpɔ kpeɖodzi na miaƒe yɔyɔ kple tiatia. Elabena ne miewɔ esiawo la, miada ƒu akpɔ o,
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
eye miaxɔ dzadoname tɔxɛ le míaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Ɖela, Yesu Kristo ƒe fiaɖuƒe mavɔ la me. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.
Togbɔ be mienya nu siawo, eye mieli ke ɖe nyateƒe si su mia si fifia la me hã la, manɔ ŋku ɖom wo dzi na mi ɣe sia ɣi.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
Mesusu be zi ale si mele ŋutilã ƒe agbadɔ sia me la, enyo be manɔ ŋku ɖom nu dzi na mi,
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
elabena menya be esusɔ vie maɖe agbadɔ sia ɖi abe ale si míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gblɔe nam kɔtɛe la ene.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Makpɔ egbɔ be meɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe si mate ŋui, be ne meva dzo la, miaɖo ŋku nu siawo dzi ɣe sia ɣi.
16 For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Menye gli siwo wokpa kple nunya la yome míedze esi míeƒo nu na mi tso míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋusẽ kple eƒe vava ŋuti o, ke boŋ míenye eƒe gãnyenye ƒe atsyɔ̃ si míekpɔ kple ŋku la ƒe ɖasefowo.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Elabena exɔ bubu kple ŋutikɔkɔe tso Mawu, Fofo la gbɔ esi gbe aɖe ɖi tso eƒe Gãnyenye ƒe Ŋutikɔkɔe me gblɔ be, “Ame siae nye Vinye si gbɔ nyemelɔ̃a nu le o, esi ŋu mekpɔa ŋudzedze le.”
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Míawo ŋutɔ míese gbe sia esi wòɖi tso dziƒo, esi míeli kplii le to kɔkɔe la dzi.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
Ale míegakpɔ kpeɖodzi na Mawu ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nyawo, eya ta anye nu dzeame ne mieɖo to wo, elabena ele abe ale si kekeli klẽna ɖe viviti me ene va se ɖe esime ŋkekea nava, eye ŋukeɣletivi la naklẽ ɖe miaƒe dziwo me.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
Gawu la, ele be miase egɔme be nyagblɔɖi aɖeke mele mawunya me si va eme to Mawu ƒe gbeƒãɖela la ŋutɔ ƒe nyameɖeɖe me o.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Elabena nyagblɔɖi ƒe dzɔtsoƒe metso amegbetɔ ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu me kpɔ o, ke boŋ ame xɔa gbe tso Mawu gbɔ abe ale si Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔe ene.
