2 Piè 1
1 Mwen menm, Simon Pyè, sèvitè ak apòt Jezikri, m'ap ekri lèt sa a pou nou menm ki resevwa yon konfyans ki gen menm valè ak pa m' lan, gremesi Jezikri, Bondye nou ak Sovè nou ki fè nou gras.
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 M'ap mande Bondye pou nou resevwa anpil benediksyon ak kè poze, gremesi konesans Bondye ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, nou genyen.
Favor and peace be multiplied to you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.
3 Pouvwa Bondye a ban nou tou sa nou bezwen pou nou ka viv, pou nou ka sèvi li. Li fè nou konnen moun ki te rele nou an, lè li te fè nou wè pouvwa li ak bèl bagay li yo.
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 Se konsa, Bondye ban nou pwomès li yo ki gwo anpil, ki gen anpil valè, pou nou kapab patisipe nan sa Bondye ye a, pou nou kapab chape anba koripsyon ki nan lemonn, akòz move lanvi ki nan kè moun.
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 Se poutèt sa, nou dwe fè tou sa nou kapab pou nou pa rete ak konfyans nou gen nan Bondye a sèlman. Men, apa konfyans lan se pou nou gen bon kondit. Apa bon kondit la, se pou nou gen konesans.
And for this very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;
6 Apa konesans la, se pou nou konn kontwole tèt nou. Apa konn kontwole tèt nou an, se pou nou gen pasyans. Apa pasyans la, se pou nou sèvi Bondye.
and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 Apa sèvi Bondye a, se pou nou gen renmen pou frè yo. Apa renmen nou gen pou frè nou an, se pou nou gen renmen pou tout moun.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love:
8 Si nou gen tout bagay sa yo nan nou, si nou devlope yo nan nou, nou p'ap rete bra kwaze. Se p'ap pou gremesi nou konnen ki moun Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ye.
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 Men, moun ki pa gen bagay sa yo nan yo, y'ap tankou yon avèg ki pa wè lwen, yo bliye jan Bondye te netwaye yo anba vye peche yo.
But he who has not these things, is blind, shutting his eyes, having become forgetful of the purification of his old sins.
10 Se poutèt sa, frè m' yo, se pou nou fè jefò plis toujou pou nou rete fèm nan pozisyon kote Bondye mete nou an, li menm ki rele nou, ki chwazi nou. Si nou fè sa, nou p'ap janm tonbe.
Wherefore, the rather, brethren, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never fall;
11 Konsa, la ban nou dwa antre lib nan peyi kote Jezikri, Seyè nou ak Sovè nou an, ap gouvènen tankou wa pou tout tan an. (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 Se poutèt sa, nou te mèt konnen bagay sa yo deja, nou te mèt kanpe fèm nan verite nou resevwa a, mwen p'ap janm manke fè nou chonje bagay sa yo.
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 Wi, toutotan mwen poko mouri, mwen kwè se yon devwa pou m' fè nou chonje bagay sa yo pou dòmi pa pran nou.
Yes, I think it fit, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance;
14 Paske, mwen konnen mwen pa lwen mouri. Se Seyè a menm ki fè m' konn sa.
knowing, that the putting off of this, my tabernacle, is soon to happen, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
15 Men, m'ap fè tout posib mwen pou nou pa janm bliye bagay sa yo lè m' fin ale.
Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Paske, lè m' t'ap fè nou konnen jan Jezikri, Seyè nou an, te vini avèk pouvwa li, se pa t' istwa moun envante nan tèt yo mwen t'ap rakonte nou. Men, se paske mwen menm, mwen te wè Seyè a nan tout pouvwa li ak je pa mwen.
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 Mwen te la lè Bondye Papa a te ba li respè ak lwanj, lè nan mitan tout pouvwa a, vwa Bondye te pale, li di konsa: Ou se pitit mwen renmen anpil la, ou fè kè m' kontan anpil.
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 Nou te tande vwa ki te soti nan syèl la, lè nou te la ansanm avè l' sou mòn kote Bondye te pale ak nou an.
And this voice we heard come from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain:
19 Se poutèt sa, mwen pran pawòl pwofèt yo pou pawòl ki sèten nèt. Nou menm tou nou byen fèt lè nou pran pawòl sa yo ak gwo konsiderasyon, tankou yon lanp k'ap klere nan fènwa a jouk jou a va pwente, jouk zetwal ki klere chak maten an va leve nan kè nou.
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 Men, anvan tout bagay, se pou nou konn sa byen: pesonn pa gen dwa pran mesaj pwofèt ki ekri nan Liv la pou li ba li sans li vle.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy brought by the will of man;
21 Paske, pwofèt yo pa t' janm bay mesaj paske yo menm yo te vle. Okontrè, se Sentespri ki te pouse yo lè yo t'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye.
but the holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
