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, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Wega na thayũ iromũingĩhĩra nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyana na Ngai, o na Jesũ Mwathani witũ.
grace and peace be multiplied unto you, in the acknowledgement of God, and of Jesus 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 hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who hath called us by that 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.
by which are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped 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 to this giving all diligence, add to your faith fortitude;
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 fortitude knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience piety;
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 piety brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection charity.
8 Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩgĩa na mawega macio na mamũingĩhĩre mũno-rĩ, nĩmarĩgiragia mũgũtare kana mwage maciaro harĩ ũhoro wa kũmenya Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
For if these be in you and abound, they will not suffer you to be idle, nor unfruitful in the 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.
But he, that hath not these, is blind, or short-sighted, having forgot his baptismal purification from his former 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,
Wherefore, my brethren, be the more diligent thus to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things ye shall 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 so an entrance shall be administered unto you abundantly into the everlasting 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.
Wherefore I will not neglect to put you always in mind of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Na ngwĩciiria nĩ kwagĩrĩire ndĩmũririkanagie maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra thĩinĩ wa hema ĩno ya mwĩrĩ ũyũ,
And I think it my duty, while I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by way of remembrance:
14 tondũ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ica ikuhĩ nĩngũmĩĩaũra, o ta ũrĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ aanyonirie.
knowing that I must soon lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Na nĩngwĩrutanĩria mũno nyone atĩ ndaarĩkia gũkua nĩmũrĩhotaga kũririkana maũndũ maya hĩndĩ ciothe.
And I will endeavour that after my departure also ye may always be able to call these things to remembrance.
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 we did not follow artfully devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but were eye-witnesses 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 He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice came to Him from the magnificent glory, saying, "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.
And this voice, from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount.
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.
We have also the more sure word of the prophets, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning-star 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.
knowing this first, 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 prophecy was not delivered of old at the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit.
