2 Bitrus 1
1 Siman Bitrus, bawa da kuma manzon Yesu Kiristi, Zuwa ga waɗanda ta wurin adalcin Allahnmu da Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi sun sami bangaskiya mai daraja irin tamu.
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Alheri da salama su zama naku a yalwace ta wurin sanin Allah da Yesu Ubangijinmu.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Ikonsa na Allahntaka ya ba mu kome da muke bukata don rayuwa da kuma tsoron Allah ta wurin sanin wanda ya kira mu ta wurin ɗaukakarsa da nagartarsa.
According as his divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Ta wurin waɗannan ya ba mu alkawaransa masu girma da kuma masu daraja, domin ta wurinsu ku iya yin tarayya cikin Allahntakarsa, ku kuma kuɓuta daga lalatar da take cikin duniya wadda mugayen sha’awace-sha’awace suke jawowa.
By which are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Saboda haka, ku yi iyakar ƙoƙari ku ƙara wa bangaskiyarku nagarta; ga nagarta kuwa, ku ƙara mata sani;
And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 ga sani kuma ku ƙara masa kamunkai; ga kamunkai kuma ku ƙara da daurewa; ga daurewa kuwa ku ƙara da tsoron Allah;
And to knowledge self-control; and to self-control patience; and to patience godliness;
7 ga tsoron Allah kuma ku ƙara da nuna alheri ga’yan’uwa; ga nuna alheri ga’yan’uwa kuma ku ƙara da ƙauna.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 Domin in kuna ƙaruwa a waɗannan halaye, za su kāre ku daga rashin tasiri da rayuwa na rashin amfani cikin saninku na Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi.
For if these things are in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Amma in wani ba shi da su, ba shi da hangen nesa ke nan kuma makaho ne, ya kuma manta cewa an tsarkake shi daga zunubansa na dā.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old sins.
10 Saboda haka’yan’uwana, ku ƙara aniya wajen tabbatar da kiranku da zaɓenku da aka yi. Gama in kuka yi waɗannan abubuwa, ba za ku taɓa fāɗuwa ba,
Therefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 za ku sami kyakkyawar marabta cikin madawwamin mulkin Ubangijinmu da Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Saboda haka kullum zan tuna muku da waɗannan, ko da yake kun sansu kun kuma kahu ƙwarai cikin gaskiyar da kuke da ita yanzu.
Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 A ganina ya dace in tunashe ku muddin ina raye cikin tentin wannan jiki,
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 domin na sani na kusa in ajiye shi a gefe, yadda Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi ya nuna mini a sarari.
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.
15 Zan kuwa yi iyakacin ƙoƙari in ga cewa bayan rabuwata kullum za ku iya tuna da waɗannan abubuwa.
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Ba mu bi tatsuniyoyin da aka ƙaga da wayo sa’ad da muka gaya muku game da ikon Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi da zuwansa ba, sai dai mu shaidu ne na ɗaukakarsa mai girma da muka gani da ido.
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 eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 Gama ya sami girma da ɗaukaka daga Allah Uba sa’ad da murya ta zo masa daga Mafificiyar Ɗaukaka cewa, “Wannan Ɗana ne, wanda nake ƙauna; da shi nake jin daɗi ƙwarai.”
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 Mu kanmu mun ji wannan muryar da ta zo daga sama sa’ad da muke tare da shi a kan dutse mai tsarki.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount.
19 Muna kuwa da maganar annabawa da aka ƙara tabbatar mana, zai fi kyau in kuka lura da ita, kamar hasken da yake haskakawa a wuri mai duhu, har yă zuwa wayewar gari da kuma haskakawar tauraron asubahi a zukatanku.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Gaba da kome dai, dole ku gane cewa babu annabcin Nassin da ya fito daga fassarar annabi da kansa.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Gama annabci bai taɓa samo tushensa daga nufin mutum ba, sai dai mutane sun yi magana daga Allah yayinda Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya bishe su.
For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
