2 Pedro 1
1 Ni Simon Pedro, maysa a tagabu ken apostol ni Jesu-Cristo, kadagidiay a nakaawat iti isu met laeng a napateg a pammati kas inawatmi, pammati iti kinalinteg iti Diostayo ken Manangisalakan a ni Jesu-Cristo.
I, Simon Peter, [am writing this letter to you. I] serve Jesus Christ, and am an apostle [appointed by] him. [I am sending this letter to you] whom God has caused to believe [in Christ] just like he [caused us(exc) apostles to believe in Christ]. You and we have (equally been given the/both been given the same) privilege of believing in Jesus Christ. He [is] God, he is righteous, he is the one whom we [worship], and he is our Savior.
2 Umadda koma ti parabur kadakayo; rumang-ay koma ti kapia babaen iti pannakaammoyo iti Dios ken ni Jesus nga Apotayo.
[I pray that God] will continue to act very kindly towards you, and give you (a deep/very much) [inner] peace, because you [truly] know God and Jesus, who is our Lord.
3 Iti panakabalin ti Dios, amin a banbanag a kasapulan tapno maaddaantayo iti biag ken agbiagtayo iti nadiosan a panagbiag ket naipaay kadatayo babaen iti pannakaammo iti Dios a nangayab kadatayo babaen iti bukodna a dayag ken kinaimbag.
[God] [PRS] has given us everything [that we need] in order that we might receive [eternal] life and in order that we might [live] (in a godly way/in a way that pleases him). He gives us that by the power that he has because he is God, and he has also given it to us as a result of our knowing him. He is the wonderful and perfect one who chose us [to be his people].
4 Babaen kadagitoy, intedna kadatayo dagiti napateg ken naindaklan a karkari. Inaramidna daytoy tapno mabalinyo iti makibingay iti nadiosan a kababalinna, iti panangliklikyo iti pannakadadael nga adda iti lubong gapu kadagiti dakes a tarigagay.
Being [glorious and perfect], he has promised us [that he will do] very great and (priceless/very precious) things [for us]. [He has also promised] you that by [believing what he has promised] you will be able to act [righteously], just like God acts [righteously], and that you will be free from being morally depraved/corrupted, and that you will not be [like] those who do not believe in Christ and are morally depraved because of their desire to do things that are evil.
5 Gapu iti daytoy, aramidenyo ti amin a kabaelanyo a manginayon iti kinaimbag iti pammatiyo, ken iti kinaimbagyo, inayonyo ti pannakaammo.
Because God has done all that, by trying very hard, make sure that you not only believe [in Christ], but that you are also living morally good lives. And make sure that you are not only living morally good lives, but that you also know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely).
6 Iti pannakaammoyo, inayonyo ti kinamanagteppel, ken iti kinamanagteppelyo, inayonyo ti panagibtur, ken iti panagibturyo, inayonyo ti nadiosan a panagbiag.
And make sure that you not only know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely), but that you also control what you say and do. And make sure that you not only control what you say and do, but that you are also steadfast/patient. And make sure that you are not only (steadfast/patient when you suffer), but that you are also godly.
7 Iti nadiosan a panagbiagyo, inayonyo ti nainkabsatan a panangipateg, ken iti nainkabsatan a panangipateg, inayonyo ti ayat.
And make sure that you not only (are godly/live in a way that pleases God), but that you also have a concern for your fellow believers, as brothers and sisters [ought to have] for each other. And make sure that you not only have a concern for your fellow believers, but that you also love [others].
8 No adda kadakayo dagitoy a banbanag ken dumakdakkelda kadakayo, saankayonto nga agbalin a baog wenno saan a nabunga iti pannakaammo kenni Apotayo a Jesu-Cristo.
If you do these [things], and if [you do them] more and more, that demonstrates that knowing our Lord Jesus Christ (is very effective/produces good results) [LIT] in your lives.
9 Ngem siasinoman nga agkurang kadagitoy a banbanag ket ti asideg laeng ti makitana; bulsek isuna. Nalipatanna ti pannakadalusna manipud kadagiti nagkauna a basbasolna.
If these [qualities] are not present in people, it means they are not aware [that these things are important, just like a blind person is not aware of what is around him]. They [think only about earthly matters, just like] [MET] a shortsighted person [sees clearly only things that are near]. It seems that they have forgotten that God has forgiven them for their former sinful lives.
10 Ngarud, kakabsat, aramidenyo ti amin a kabaelanyo a mamagbalin iti nakaayaban ken pannakapiliyo a natalged para kadakayo. No aramidenyo dagitoy a banbanag, saankayonto a maitibkol.
Instead of [acting like those people], try to confirm/prove by the way you conduct your lives that you are among those whom [God] has chosen [DOU] to be his people. If you do that, you will certainly never become separated from God,
11 Iti kasta, aglaplapusananto a maipaay kadakayo ti pagserkan iti agnanayon a pagarian ti Apo ken Mangisalakantayo a ni Jesu-Cristo. (aiōnios g166)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ngarud, nakasaganaak a kankanayon a mangipalagip kadakayo kadagitoy a banbanag, numan pay ammoyon dagitoy, ken natibkerkayon iti kinapudno.
I intend to keep on reminding you very frequently [HYP] about these [matters], even though you [already] know them and are firmly convinced that they are true.
13 Panagkunak ket maiparbeng a riingenkayo ken palagipankayo maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag, kabayatan nga addaak iti daytoy a tolda.
I consider it right that I should help you [to continually think about these matters] by reminding you [about them] as long as I am alive [EUP],
14 Ta ammok nga ikkatekto daytoy a toldak iti mabiit, kas impakita kaniak ni Apotayo a Jesu-Cristo.
because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
15 Aramidek ti amin a kabaelak tapno kanayonyonto a laglagipen dagitoy a banbanag kalpasan iti ipapanawko.
Moreover, I will (make every effort/try hard) [by writing these things down] to enable you to remember them at all times after I have died [EUP].
16 Ta saanmi a sinurot dagiti sinisikap a binalabala laeng ti panunot idi imbagami kadakayo ti maipapan iti pannakabalin ken ti panagparang ni Apotayo a Jesu-Cristo, ngem nasaksianmi ti kinatan-okna.
We [apostles] told you that our Lord Jesus Christ [acts] powerfully and that he is coming back [some day]. We were not basing [what we told you] on stories that we had cleverly (invented/made up). Instead, we told you what we ourselves saw with our own eyes, that [the] Lord Jesus is supremely great.
17 Inawatna manipud iti Dios Ama ti dayaw ken dayag idi ibagbaga ti timek kenkuana manipud iti Natan-ok a Dayag a kunana, “Daytoy ti Anakko nga ay-ayatek, a pakaay-aywak la unay.”
God, our Father, greatly honored him when God’s great glory/brightness surrounded him, and God [MTY] said, “This is my Son, whom I love very much; I am very pleased with him.”
18 Nangngegmi daytoy a timek a nagtaud sadi langit, kabayatan a kadduami isuna idiay tapaw ti nasantoan a bantay.
We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
19 Adda kadakami daytoy a sao a naipadto a napatalged, nga isu iti ipangpangagyo a nasayaat. Maiyarig daytoy iti agranranniag a silaw iti nasipnget a disso agingga a dumteng ti agsapa ken agsingising ti bituen iti agsapa kadagiti puspusoyo.
We also have [the Scriptures] that the prophets [wrote about Christ long ago], which are completely reliable/trustworthy. You should (pay attention to/think carefully about) [what they wrote], because [what they wrote enables you to know whether what is taught to you is true or whether it is false] [SIM], like a lamp that is shining in a dark place [enables people to see where they are going] [SIM]. [You should] ([pay attention to/think carefully about]) [what they wrote] until [our Lord Jesus Christ comes back and enables] you [SYN] [to know God fully, which will be like when] [MET] (a day dawns/daylight comes) and the morning star rises [and we can see it clearly].
20 Ammoenyo nga umuna daytoy, nga iti naisurat a padto ket saan a nagtaud iti bukod a kapanunotan ti profeta
It is important that you realize that no one can interpret/explain by himself [the meaning of] what the prophets wrote [in the Scriptures] without [the help of God’s Spirit] (OR, no [part of the] Scriptures originated with the prophet himself),
21 Ta awan ti padto nga immay babaen iti pagayatan ti tao, ngem babaen kadagiti tattao nga indalan ti Espiritu Santo a nangisao iti sao a nagtaud iti Dios.
because no human beings decided [to make those prophecies]. On the contrary, those who spoke [messages from God] did that because it was the Holy Spirit who caused them to do [it, and therefore the Spirit must help us to interpret/understand their meaning].
