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:
Symeon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to them who have obtained like precious faith with us, through the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ blibo me, to sidzedze Mawu kple Yesu míaƒe Aƒetɔ la me.
Favor and peace be multiplied to you, through 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.
As his divine power has gifted to us all things which are necessary to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and virtue.
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.
On account of which, the greatest and most precious promises are freely given to us, that by these we might be made partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world, through lust.
5 Le susu sia ta miɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe be miatsɔ nyuiwɔwɔ akpe ɖe miaƒe xɔse ŋu, sidzedze nakpe ɖe dɔmenyonyo ŋu,
And for this very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;
6 ɖokuidziɖuɖu nakpe ɖe sidzedze ŋu, vevidodo nu nakpe ɖe ɖokuidziɖuɖu ŋu, mawumegbenɔnɔ nakpe ɖe vevidodo nu ŋu;
and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 dɔmenyowɔwɔ na havi nakpe ɖe mawumegbenɔnɔ ŋu, eye lɔlɔ̃ hã nakpe ɖe dɔmenyowɔwɔ ŋu.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, 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.
for these things being in you, and abounding, make you to be neither slothful, nor unfruitful, in the 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.
But he who has not these things, is blind, shutting his eyes, having become forgetful of the purification of his old 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,
Wherefore, the rather, brethren, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never fall;
11 eye miaxɔ dzadoname tɔxɛ le míaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Ɖela, Yesu Kristo ƒe fiaɖuƒe mavɔ la me. (aiōnios g166)
and thus there shall be richly ministered to you, an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour 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.
Wherefore, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, although you know, and are established in the present truth.
13 Mesusu be zi ale si mele ŋutilã ƒe agbadɔ sia me la, enyo be manɔ ŋku ɖom nu dzi na mi,
Yes, I think it fit, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance;
14 elabena menya be esusɔ vie maɖe agbadɔ sia ɖi abe ale si míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gblɔe nam kɔtɛe la ene.
knowing, that the putting off of this, my tabernacle, is soon to happen, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed 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.
Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
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.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his grandeur;
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.”
for when he received from God the Father honor and glory, a vice to this effect came to him from the magnificent glory, "This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight."
18 Míawo ŋutɔ míese gbe sia esi wòɖi tso dziƒo, esi míeli kplii le to kɔkɔe la dzi.
And this voice we heard come from heaven, being 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.
so we have the prophetic word more firm; to which you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in your hearts.
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.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy brought by the will of man;
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.
but the holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
