2 Petelo 1
1 Ngai Simona Petelo, mosali mpe ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto; Epai ya bato oyo bazwaki kondima ya motuya moko na kondima na biso, na nzela ya bosembo ya Yesu-Klisto, Nzambe na biso mpe Mobikisi na biso:
Shim'on Peter, a servant and emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah:
2 Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino na bofuluki, na nzela ya koyeba Nzambe mpe Yesu, Nkolo na biso!
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua our Lord,
3 Nzambe apesaki biso, na nzela ya nguya na Ye ya bonzambe, nyonso oyo tosengeli na yango mpo na kobika bomoi ya botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe mpe mpo na kokangama na Ye; asalaki yango na kopesa biso boyebi ya Ye oyo abenga biso mpo ete tosangana na nkembo mpe na bolamu na Ye.
seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;
4 Na nzela ya nkembo mpe bolamu yango, apesaki biso bilaka minene mpe ya motuya makasi mpo ete, na nzela na yango, bosangana na bonzambe mpe bokima libebi oyo baposa mabe ezali kovandisa kati na mokili.
by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5 Mpo na yango, bosala makasi mpo na kobakisa na likolo ya kondima na bino, bolamu; na likolo ya bolamu, boyebi;
Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6 na likolo ya boyebi, komikanga; na likolo ya komikanga, mpiko; na likolo ya mpiko, botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe;
and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
7 na likolo ya botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, bondeko ya solo; mpe na likolo ya bondeko ya solo, bolingo.
and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
8 Pamba te soki bozali na bizaleli oyo ya malamu kati na bino mpe botondi na yango, ekosala ete bozala basali ya goyigoyi te mpe bokola makasi na boyebi ya Nzambe na biso mpe ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
9 Kasi moto nyonso oyo azangi yango amonaka mosika te, azali lokola mokufi miso; abosani ete basila kopetola ye, wuta kala, na masumu na ye.
For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
10 Yango wana, bandeko na ngai, bosala lisusu makasi koleka mpo na kolakisa na bato ete Nzambe abenga penza bino mpe apona bino; pamba te soki bosali bongo, bokotikala kokweya te.
Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 Na bongo, bokoyambama malamu kati na Bokonzi ya seko ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo mpe Mobikisi na biso. (aiōnios g166)
For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
12 Boye, nakobanda kozongisaka yango tango nyonso na makanisi na bino, atako boyebi yango malamu mpe bokangami makasi na bosolo oyo bozali na yango sik’oyo.
Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Namoni ete ezali malamu mpo na ngai kolamusa makanisi na bino awa nazali nanu na bomoi kati na ndako ya kapo ya nzoto oyo;
I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
14 pamba te nayebi malamu ete, kala mingi te, nakokabwana na nzoto yango, ndenge Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, ayebisaki ngai yango.
knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Yeshua the Messiah made clear to me.
15 Nzokande, nakosala makasi mpo ete bozalaka tango nyonso na makoki ya kokanisaka yango, ezala nasila na ngai kokende.
Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
16 Solo, tango toyebisaki bino makambo oyo etali koya ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, kati na nguya na yango nyonso, tolandaki te basambole oyo bato basalaka na mayele na bango, kasi na miso na biso moko, tomonaki Ye kati na kongenga nyonso ya nkembo na Ye.
For we did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 Pamba te Nzambe Tata apesaki Ye lokumu mpe nkembo, tango mongongo kowuta na nkembo monene ya Nzambe elobaki na Ye: « Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Ye mingi. »
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18 Mpe, biso moko, tango tozalaki elongo na Ye na likolo ya ngomba ya bule, toyokaki mongongo yango kowuta na Likolo.
We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Tozali lisusu kondima bosolo ya maloba ya basakoli oyo, bozali solo kosala malamu wana bozali kotia makanisi na bino kati na yango lokola na mwinda oyo ezali kopela kati na esika ya molili, kino tongo etana mpe monzoto ya tongo engenga kati na mitema na bino.
We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:
20 Liboso na nyonso, boyeba malamu ete moko te, na mayele na ye moko, akoki kolimbola maloba ya basakoli, oyo ezali kati na Makomi,
knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 pamba te maloba yango ya basakoli eyaki te na nzela ya mokano ya moto, kasi ezali Molimo Mosantu nde atindikaki bato na koloba kowuta na Nzambe.
For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
