2 Piè 1
1 Simon Pierre, yon sèvitè-atache nèt, e apòt a Jésus Kri, a sila ki te resevwa yon lafwa menm jan ak nou yo, pa ladwati Bondye ak Sovè nou an, Jésus Kri:
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 Ke lagras ak lapè vin miltipliye a nou menm nan konesans a Bondye ak Jésus, Senyè nou an,
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 akoz nou wè ke pwisans diven Li an bannou tout bagay ki apatyen a lavi ak sentete, atravè vrè konesans a Li, ki te rele nou pa pwòp glwa ak ekselans Li.
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 Paske pa sila yo, Li te bannou pwomès presye e manyifik Li, pouke nan yo, nou ta kapab vin patisipan nan nati sen an, e chape de koripsyon ki nan mond lan pa konvwatiz lachè a.
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 Alò, pou rezon sa a tou, avèk tout dilijans nan lafwa nou, mete ekselans moral, e nan ekselans moral nou, mete konesans.
Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6 Sou konesans nou, mete bon kontwòl tèt nou, e nan bon kontwòl tèt nou, mete pèseverans, e nan pèseverans nou, mete sentete.
and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
7 Anplis nan sentete nou, mete bonte fratènèl, e nan bonte fratènèl nou, mete lanmou.
and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
8 Paske si kalite sa yo nan nou e ap ogmante, yo p ap rann nou ni initil, ni san fwi nan vrè konesans Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
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 Paske, sila ki manke kalite sa yo avèg oswa pa wè klè, akoz li bliye ke li te netwaye de ansyen peche li yo.
For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
10 Konsa, frè m yo, se pou nou vin pi dilijan pou fè sèten de chwa ak apèl Li de nou menm nan. Paske otan ke n ap pratike bagay sa yo, nou p ap janm glise tonbe.
Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 Paske lè nou aji nan fason sa a, antre nan wayòm etènèl Senyè ak Sovè nou an, Jésus Kri, va toujou disponib a nou menm an abondans. (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 Konsa, mwen va toujou prè pou fè nou sonje bagay sa yo, malgre nou deja konnen yo, e etabli nan verite ki deja la avèk nou an.
Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Paske mwen konsidere li bon, toutotan mwen ap demere nan kay tèrès sila a, pou vire memwa nou pou fè nou sonje,
I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
14 avèk konesans ke moman pou mete akote kay tèrès mwen an toupre kòm osi Jésus Kri te fè m byen konprann nan.
knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15 Konsa, mwen va osi fè dilijans pou nenpòt lè m fin ale, nou kapab toujou sonje bagay sa yo.
Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
16 Paske nou pa t swiv vye listwa koken lè nou te fè nou konnen pwisans ak retou a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, men zye nou te temwen majeste Li.
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 Paske, lè Li te resevwa laglwa ak lonè Bondye, Papa a, yon pawòl konsa te fèt a Li pa Laglwa Majeste a: “Sa se Fis byeneme Mwen an; avèk Li, Mwen byen kontan.”
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 Epi nou menm te tande pawòl sa yo, fèt depi nan syèl la, lè nou te avèk Li sou mòn sen an.
We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Konsa, nou gen pawòl pwofesi yo fèt pi asire. A sila nou dwe prete atansyon an tankou se yon lanp k ap klere yon kote ki fènwa, jiskaske bajou kase e zetwal granmmaten an leve nan kè nou.
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 Men konnen sa davans, ke nanpwen pwofesi nan lekriti sen an ki sijè a pwòp entèpretasyon prive.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 Paske okenn pwofesi pa t janm fèt pa volonte a moun, men lèzòm, dirije pa Lespri Sen an te pale pawòl yo ki te soti nan Bondye.
For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
