Petro 2 1
1 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:
This letter comes from Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who share with us the same priceless trust in our God and Savior Jesus Christ, the one who is truly good and right.
2 Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ blibo me, to sidzedze Mawu kple Yesu míaƒe Aƒetɔ la me.
May you have ever more grace and peace as you grow in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 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.
Through his divine power we have been given everything that's important to live a God-centered life. This comes through knowing him who called us to himself by his own glory and goodness. In this way he's given us wonderful, priceless promises.
4 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.
Through these promises you can share in the divine nature, being rid of the corruption caused by this world's evil desires.
5 Le susu sia ta miɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe be miatsɔ nyuiwɔwɔ akpe ɖe miaƒe xɔse ŋu, sidzedze nakpe ɖe dɔmenyonyo ŋu,
For this same reason, do everything you can! Add to your trust in God, goodness; add to goodness, knowledge;
6 ɖokuidziɖuɖu nakpe ɖe sidzedze ŋu, vevidodo nu nakpe ɖe ɖokuidziɖuɖu ŋu, mawumegbenɔnɔ nakpe ɖe vevidodo nu ŋu;
add to knowledge, self-control; add to self-control, patience; add to patience, reverence;
7 dɔmenyowɔwɔ na havi nakpe ɖe mawumegbenɔnɔ ŋu, eye lɔlɔ̃ hã nakpe ɖe dɔmenyowɔwɔ ŋu.
add to reverence, affection for fellow-believers, add to affection for fellow-believers, love.
8 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.
The more you have these qualities, the more they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 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.
For anyone who doesn't have such qualities is short-sighted, or blind. They forget that they've been cleansed from their past sins.
10 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,
So, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined to make sure you are truly “called and chosen.” If you do this, you won't ever fall.
11 eye miaxɔ dzadoname tɔxɛ le míaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Ɖela, Yesu Kristo ƒe fiaɖuƒe mavɔ la me. (aiōnios g166)
You will receive a tremendous welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 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.
That's why I always remind you about these things, even though you know them already, and you stand firm in the truth that you possess.
13 Mesusu be zi ale si mele ŋutilã ƒe agbadɔ sia me la, enyo be manɔ ŋku ɖom nu dzi na mi,
But I still think it's a good idea to encourage you by giving you reminders while I live.
14 elabena menya be esusɔ vie maɖe agbadɔ sia ɖi abe ale si míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gblɔe nam kɔtɛe la ene.
I know the time when I shall leave this life will be coming soon— our Lord Jesus Christ has made this clear to me.
15 Makpɔ egbɔ be meɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe si mate ŋui, be ne meva dzo la, miaɖo ŋku nu siawo dzi ɣe sia ɣi.
I will do my best so that when I'm gone you will always be able to remember these things.
16 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.
We didn't follow made-up myths when we told you about the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ—we saw his majesty for ourselves.
17 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.”
He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice of majestic glory spoke to him and announced, “This is my Son, the one I love, and who truly pleases me.”
18 Míawo ŋutɔ míese gbe sia esi wòɖi tso dziƒo, esi míeli kplii le to kɔkɔe la dzi.
We ourselves heard this voice speak from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 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.
We also have the confirming word of prophecy that's absolutely trustworthy, and you will benefit from paying close attention to it. It's like a lamp that shines in a dark place until the day dawns, and the morning star shines to illuminate your minds.
20 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.
Most of all you should realize that no prophecy of scripture is a matter for interpretation based on the whims of an individual,
21 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.
for no prophecy originated in human ideas, but prophets spoke for God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
