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:
Simeon 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 Savior, Jesus Christ:
2 Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ blibo me, to sidzedze Mawu kple Yesu míaƒe Aƒetɔ la me.
Grace to you and peace be multiplied 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.
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;
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.
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.
5 Le susu sia ta miɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe be miatsɔ nyuiwɔwɔ akpe ɖe miaƒe xɔse ŋu, sidzedze nakpe ɖe dɔmenyonyo ŋu,
Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6 ɖokuidziɖuɖu nakpe ɖe sidzedze ŋu, vevidodo nu nakpe ɖe ɖokuidziɖuɖu ŋu, mawumegbenɔnɔ nakpe ɖe vevidodo nu ŋu;
and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
7 dɔmenyowɔwɔ na havi nakpe ɖe mawumegbenɔnɔ ŋu, eye lɔlɔ̃ hã nakpe ɖe dɔmenyowɔwɔ ŋu.
and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, 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 if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to 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.
For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from 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,
Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 eye miaxɔ dzadoname tɔxɛ le míaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Ɖela, Yesu Kristo ƒe fiaɖuƒe mavɔ la me. (aiōnios g166)
For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting 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.
Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, 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,
I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
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 my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made 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.
Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
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 did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
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 he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18 Míawo ŋutɔ míese gbe sia esi wòɖi tso dziƒo, esi míeli kplii le to kɔkɔe la dzi.
We heard this voice come out of 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 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:
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 of Scripture is of private interpretation.
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 ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
