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, in the righteousness of our God, and of 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 unto you, in the acknowledgement 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.
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 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 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 Saboda haka, ku yi iyakar ƙoƙari ku ƙara wa bangaskiyarku nagarta; ga nagarta kuwa, ku ƙara mata sani;
And to this giving all diligence, add to your faith fortitude;
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 fortitude knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience piety;
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 piety brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection 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 be in you and abound, they will not suffer you to be idle, 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 hath not these, is blind, or short-sighted, having forgot his baptismal purification from his former 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,
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 za ku sami kyakkyawar marabta cikin madawwamin mulkin Ubangijinmu da Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi. (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 Saboda haka kullum zan tuna muku da waɗannan, ko da yake kun sansu kun kuma kahu ƙwarai cikin gaskiyar da kuke da ita yanzu.
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 A ganina ya dace in tunashe ku muddin ina raye cikin tentin wannan jiki,
And I think it my duty, while I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by way of remembrance:
14 domin na sani na kusa in ajiye shi a gefe, yadda Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi ya nuna mini a sarari.
knowing that I must soon lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Zan kuwa yi iyakacin ƙoƙari in ga cewa bayan rabuwata kullum za ku iya tuna da waɗannan abubuwa.
And I will endeavour that after my departure also ye may always be able to call these things to 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 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 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 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 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, from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in 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 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 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 scripture is of 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 was not delivered of old at the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit.
