2 Petero 1
1 Nĩ niĩ Simoni Petero, ndungata na mũtũmwo wa Jesũ Kristũ, Ngũmwandĩkĩra marũa maya inyuĩ arĩa mũrĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra wĩtĩkio wa goro o ta ũrĩa tũrĩ naguo nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wa Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa arĩ we Ngai witũ na Mũtũhonokia:
Simon Peter, the servant of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those receiving like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Wega na thayũ iromũingĩhĩra nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyana na Ngai, o na Jesũ Mwathani witũ.
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
3 Rĩu-rĩ, hinya wake wa ũngai nĩũtũheete kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũbataragia nĩguo tũhote gũtũũra muoyo na twĩamũrĩire Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyana nake ũcio watwĩtire tũgĩe na riiri wake mwene o na wagĩrĩru wake.
As His divine power having given unto us all things which appertain to life and godliness, through the perfect knowledge of the one having called us to his own glory and virtue:
4 Nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩatũheete maũndũ manene mũno ma ciĩranĩro ciake cia goro, nĩgeetha nĩ ũndũ wacio mũgwatanagĩre nake mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wa ũngai wake na mwĩtheemage kuuma kũrĩ ũbuthu wa gũkũ thĩ ũrĩa ũrehagwo nĩ merirĩria mooru.
through which precious and greatest promises have been given unto us; that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Na nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu kĩũmbe, kĩĩrutanĩriei mũno nĩguo muonganĩrĩrie wĩtĩkio wanyu na wagĩrĩru; naguo wagĩrĩru mũwonganĩrĩrie na ũmenyo;
And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge;
6 naguo ũmenyo mũwonganĩrĩrie na kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ; nakuo kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria macio-rĩ, mũkuonganĩrĩrie na gũkirĩrĩria; nakuo gũkirĩrĩria mũkuonganĩrĩrie na kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai;
and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness;
7 nakuo kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai mũkuonganĩrĩrie na gũtuga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ; nakuo gũtuga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ mũkuonganĩrĩrie na wendani.
and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love.
8 Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩgĩa na mawega macio na mamũingĩhĩre mũno-rĩ, nĩmarĩgiragia mũgũtare kana mwage maciaro harĩ ũhoro wa kũmenya Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 No mũndũ angĩaga maũndũ macio-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio ndarona wega na nĩ mũtumumu, na nĩariganĩirwo atĩ aatheririo nĩguo atigane na mehia make ma tene.
for he unto whom these things are not present is blind, not seeing afar off, having received the forgetfulness of his purgation from his old sins.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, ĩkagĩrai kĩyo makĩria nĩguo mũtũme gwĩtwo kwanyu na gũthuurwo kwanyu kũrũme biũ. Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩĩka maũndũ macio-rĩ, gũtirĩ hĩndĩ mũkaagũa,
Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall.
11 na nĩmũgetĩkĩrio na ũtugi mũtoonye thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki wa tene na tene wa Mwathani na Mũhonokia witũ Jesũ Kristũ. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũtũũra ndĩmũririkanagia maũndũ macio, o na mwakorwo nĩmũmamenyete, na nĩmũhaandĩtwo wega thĩinĩ wa ũhoro wa ma ũrĩa mũrĩ naguo.
Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth.
13 Na ngwĩciiria nĩ kwagĩrĩire ndĩmũririkanagie maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra thĩinĩ wa hema ĩno ya mwĩrĩ ũyũ,
But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance;
14 tondũ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ica ikuhĩ nĩngũmĩĩaũra, o ta ũrĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ aanyonirie.
knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
15 Na nĩngwĩrutanĩria mũno nyone atĩ ndaarĩkia gũkua nĩmũrĩhotaga kũririkana maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ciothe.
And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa twamũmenyithirie ũhoro wa hinya na wa gũũka kwa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ-rĩ, tũtiahũthĩrire ngʼano cia gwĩtungĩra na wara, no ithuĩ nĩ kwĩonera tweyoneire ũkaru wake na maitho maitũ.
For not having followed cunningly devised fables, have we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 Nĩgũkorwo nĩaheirwo gĩtĩĩo na riiri kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgambo wamũkorire uumĩte kũrĩ Ũrĩa Mwene Riiri ũrĩa Mũnene ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete mũno; nĩ ngenaga mũno nĩ ũndũ wake.”
For having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice having been borne to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 Ithuĩ ene nĩtweiguĩrĩire mũgambo ũcio ũkiuma igũrũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa twarĩ nake kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩtheru.
We, being with him in the holy mount, heard this voice borne from heaven.
19 Na ningĩ ũhoro ũrĩa warathirwo nĩ anabii ũrĩa twĩ naguo nĩwĩkĩrĩtwo hinya makĩria, na no mwĩke wega mũngĩũthikĩrĩria, ũhaana ta ũtheri ũkwara handũ harĩ nduma, o nginya gũkĩe nayo njata ya rũciinĩ ĩkenge ngoro-inĩ cianyu.
And we have the more certain word of prophecy; to which you do well giving heed, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day may dawn, and the morning-star may rise in your hearts:
20 No mbere ya maũndũ mothe-rĩ, no nginya mũmenye atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wanarathwo Maandĩko-inĩ Matheru ũngĩtaũrwo nĩ mũnabii na ũtaũri wake mwene.
know this in the first place, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
21 Nĩgũkorwo kĩhumo kĩa ũnabii gĩtioimanire na kwenda kwa mũndũ, no andũ nĩmaririe ũhoro uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa Roho Mũtheru aamatongoririe.
For in the olden time prophecy did not come by the will of man: but men moved by the Holy Ghost spoke from God.
