< 2 Peter 1 >

1 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
Simona Petera, mpanompo sy Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy, mamangy izay efa nahazo finoana soa tahaka ny anay amin’ ny fahamarinan’ i Jesosy Kristy, Andriamanitsika sy Mpamonjy:
2 Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement of God and of Jesus our Lord!
hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana amin’ ny fahalalana tsara an’ Andriamanitra sy Jesosy Tompontsika.
3 As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness,
Efa nomen’ ny herin’ Andriamanitra ho antsika ny zavatra rehetra momba ny fiainana sy ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fahalalana Ilay niantso antsika tamin’ ny voninahiny sy ny fahatsarany;
4 through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.
ary izany no nahatanterahany amintsika ireo teny fikasana sady soa no lehibe indrindra, mba ho tonga mpiray amin’ ny fomban’ Andriamanitra amin’ izany ianareo, rehefa afa-nandositra ny fahalotoana izay eo amin’ izao tontolo izao noho ny filàna;
5 And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,
koa noho izany dia manaova izay zotom-po rehetra kosa ianareo, ka amin’ ny finoanareo dia manehoa fahatanjahan-tsaina, ary amin’ ny fahatanjahan-tsainareo dia fahalalana,
6 and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,
ary amin’ ny fahalalanareo dia fahononam-po, ary amin’ ny fahononam-ponareo dia faharetana, ary amin’ ny faharetanareo dia toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra,
7 and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;
ary amin’ ny toe-panahinareo araka an’ Andriamanitra dia fitiavana ny rahalahy, ary amin’ ny fitiavanareo ny rahalahy dia fitiavana ny olona rehetra.
8 for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Fa raha anananareo izany zavatra izany, sady anananareo betsaka, dia tsy avelan’ izany ho malaina na tsy hahavokatra ianareo amin’ ny fahalalana tsara an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
Fa izay tsy manana izany zavatra izany kosa dia toa jamba ka tsy mahajery lavitra, sady nanadino ny nanadiovana azy tamin’ ny fahotany voalohany izy.
10 wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,
Ary amin’ izany dia mazotoa kokoa, ry rahalahy, hampitoetra ny fiantsoana sy ny fifidianana anareo; fa raha manao izany zavatra izany ianareo, dia tsy ho tafintohina akory mandrakizay;
11 for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
fa toy izany no hanomezana malalaka ho anareo ny fidirana ho any amin’ ny fanjakana mandrakizay, izay an’ i Jesosy Kristy, Tompontsika sy Mpamonjy antsika. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth,
Koa hazoto mandrakariva hampahatsiaro anareo ny amin’ izany zavatra izany aho, na dia efa fantatrareo aza, ka efa naorina tsara amin’ ny fahamarinana izay efa eo aminareo.
13 and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding [you],
Fa raha mbola eto amin’ ity trano-lay ity aho, dia ataoko fa mety ny hampifoha anareo amin’ ny fampahatsiarovana anareo,
14 having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,
satria fantatro fa ho avy tampoka ny hanesorana ny trano-laiko, dia toy ny nasehon’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika tamiko koa.
15 and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.
Ary dia hataoko izay zakako mba hisy hahatsiarovanareo izany zavatra izany mandrakariva, rehefa maty aho.
16 For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty —
Fa tsy nanaraka izay anganongano noforonin’ ny fahafetsen’ ny saina izahay, raha nampahafantatra anareo ny hery sy ny fihavian’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika; fa efa hitan’ ny masonay ny fiandrianany.
17 for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: 'This is My Son — the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;'
Fa nahazo laza amam-boninahitra tamin’ Andriamanitra Ray Izy, raha tonga teo aminy avy tamin’ ny voninahitra lehibe indrindra ilay feo nanao hoe: “Ity no Zanako malalako izay sitrako”.
18 and this voice we — we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount.
Ary renay io feo avy tany an-danitra io, raha niara-nipetraka taminy tany an-tendrombohitra masìna izahay.
19 And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise — in your hearts;
Ary manana ny teny faminaniana atao mafy orina kokoa isika; koa raha mandinika izany ianareo, dia manao tsara, fa toy ny jiro mahazava ao amin’ ny fitoerana maizimaizina izany, mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro, ka miposaka ao am-ponareo ny fitarik’ andro;
20 this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,
fa fantatrareo voalohany indrindra fa ny famoahan-kevitry ny faminaniana ao amin’ ny Soratra Masìna dia tsy efan’ ny fisainan’ ny olona fotsiny ihany;
21 for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.
fa tsy nisy faminaniana avy tamin’ ny sitrapon’ ny olona tany aloha rehetra; fa avy tamin’ Andriamanitra no nitenenan’ ny olona araka izay nitondran’ ny Fanahy Masìna azy.
