2 Bitrus 1
1 Siman Bitrus, bawa da manzon Almasihu Yesu, zuwa ga wadanda suka karbi bangaskiya mai daraja kamar yadda muka karba, bangaskiya cikin adalcin Allahnmu da Yesu Almasihu.
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 Bari alheri ya kasance tare da ku; bari salama ta karu ta wurin sanin Allah da na Yesu Ubangijinmu.
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Dukkan abubuwan ikon Allah na rayuwa da Allahntaka an bamu su ta wurin sanin Allah, wanda ya kira mu ta wurin daukakarsa da nagarta.
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Ta wurin wanan, ya bamu babban alkawari mai daraja. Yayi wanan ne saboda ku zama masu rabo cikin Allahntaka, yayin da ku ka kubuta daga lalacewa da ke cikin duniya saboda mugayen sha'awace sha, awace.
Whereby are given unto 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 wanan dalilin kuyi iyakacin kokarinku ku kara nagarta ta wurin bangaskiyarku, kuma ta wurin adalci, sani.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 Ta wurin sani ku kara da kamun kai, kuma ta wurin kamun kanku, ku kara da jimrewa, ta wurin jimrewarku, ku kara da bin Allah.
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 Ta wurin bin Allah, ku kara da kauna irin ta 'yan'uwa, ta wurin kauna irin ta 'yan'uwa, ku kara kauna.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 Idan wadannan abubuwan suna cikinku, kuma suka yi girma a cikinku, baza a sami bakarare ko rashin 'ya'ya cikin sanin Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu ba.
For if these things be 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 duk wanda ya rasa wadannan abubuwan yana kallon abin da ke kusa ne kawai; ya makance. Ya manta da cewa an wake shi daga tsofaffin zunubansa.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Saboda haka, 'yan'uwa, kuyi iyakacin kokari ku tabbatar da kiranku da zabenku. Idan kun yi wadannan abubuwan, baza ku yi tuntube ba.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 Ta haka zaku sami shiga cikin mulki na har'abada na Ubangijinmu da Maicetonmu Yesu Almasihu. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Saboda haka a shirye nake kulayomi in tunashe ku game da wadannan abubuwan, ko da yake kun san su, kuma kun yi karfi cikin gaskiya yanzu.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Ina tunani daidai ne in zuga ku da tuni game da wadannan abubuwan, tun ina cikin wannan jiki.
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Domin na sani jim kadan zan bar wannan jiki, kamar yadda Yesu Almasihu ya nuna mani.
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Zan yi iyakancin kokarina kulayomi domin ku rika tunawa da abubuwan, bayan kaurata.
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Domin bamu bi labaru da aka kago na nuna wayo cikinsu ba, da muka fada maku game da iko da bayyanuwar Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu, amma mu shaidu ne na ikonsa.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 Gama ya karbi daukaka da daraja daga wurin Allah Uba lokacin da murya ta zo daga ikon mai daukaka cewa, “Wannan shine dana, kaunataccena, wanda nake jin dadinsa kwarai.”
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 Mun ji muryar nan da ta zo daga sama, lokacin da mu ke tare da shi a dutse mai tsarki.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 Muna da wannan kalmar annabci wanda akwai tabbaci sosai, kun yi daidai idan kun mayar da hankali a kansu. Yana nan kamar fitillar da take walkiya a wuri mai duhu kafin asubahi ya zo, kuma tauraron asubahi ya tashi cikin zukatanku.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Ku san da wannan tun da farko, cewa babu annabci da ke bisa ga fasarar mutum.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Domin babu annabcin da ya taba zuwa ta wurin nufin mutum. Maimakon haka, Ruhu Mai Tsarki ne ke iza su, su fadi maganar Allah.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
