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.
Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior 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 in the acknowledgment 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 has given to us all things pertaining to life and piety, through the acknowledgment of Him who called us through 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.
through which the most great and precious promises have been given to us, that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption [and] lust in the world.
5 Saboda haka, ku yi iyakar ƙoƙari ku ƙara wa bangaskiyarku nagarta; ga nagarta kuwa, ku ƙara mata sani;
And [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with 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 with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—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 with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
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 these things being in you and abounding, make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to 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.
for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of 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, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
11 za ku sami kyakkyawar marabta cikin madawwamin mulkin Ubangijinmu da Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi. (aiōnios g166)
in this way the entrance into the continuous kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplemented to you. (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 always be ready to remind you about these things, although you have known [them] and have been established in the present truth,
13 A ganina ya dace in tunashe ku muddin ina raye cikin tentin wannan jiki,
and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
14 domin na sani na kusa in ajiye shi a gefe, yadda Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi ya nuna mini a sarari.
having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
15 Zan kuwa yi iyakacin ƙoƙari in ga cewa bayan rabuwata kullum za ku iya tuna da waɗannan abubuwa.
And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
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 having not followed out skillfully devised fables, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having become 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 having received honor and glory from God the Father, such a voice being borne to Him by the Excellent Glory: “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted”;
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 we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
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.
And we have a more firm prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day may dawn, and [the] morning star may 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 Writing comes of private exposition,
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 never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
