2 Petera 1
1 I Simeona Petera, fetrek’oro naho Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey, Ho amo fa nandrambe fatokisañe mirai-hasiñe ami’ty anay, añamy havantañan’ Añahare naho i Mpandrombak’ antikañeio—Iesoà Norizañey:
This letter comes from Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who share with us the same priceless trust in our God and Savior Jesus Christ, the one who is truly good and right.
2 Hasoa naho fañanintsiñe hiregorego ama’ areo handrendrehañe an’Andrianañahare naho Iesoà Talèntikañey.
May you have ever more grace and peace as you grow in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 Oniñe te i haozaran’ Añaharey ty nanolotse antikañe ze hene paiaeñe ami’ty haveloñe toy naho ami’ty fiambenañe Hake am-paharendrehañe to ie nikanjy antika ho ami’ty enge’e naho ty hasoa’ey.
Through his divine power we have been given everything that's important to live a God-centered life. This comes through knowing him who called us to himself by his own glory and goodness. In this way he's given us wonderful, priceless promises.
4 Ie ro nanolora’e an-tika o fampitamañe jabajaba naho sarotseo, soa t’ie ama’e ro hitraok’ ami’ty vintan’ Añahare naho fa nibolitits’ amo drao-lo’ ty voatse toio.
Through these promises you can share in the divine nature, being rid of the corruption caused by this world's evil desires.
5 Ie amy zay, milozoha hatovon-kavañonañe ami’ty fatokisa’areo naho hilala amy havañonañey,
For this same reason, do everything you can! Add to your trust in God, goodness; add to goodness, knowledge;
6 naho filieram-batañe amy hilalay naho fahaliñisañe amy filieram-batañey naho fiasian-Kake amy fahaliñisañey
add to knowledge, self-control; add to self-control, patience; add to patience, reverence;
7 naho firañetañe amy fiasiañey vaho fikokoañe amy firañetañey.
add to reverence, affection for fellow-believers, add to affection for fellow-believers, love.
8 Aa ie ama’ areo vaho miraorao, ro isebaña’e tsy halejolejo tsy ho po-bokatse ami’ty faharendrehañe i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
The more you have these qualities, the more they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 F’ie tsy ama’e, le rìpeke, toe fey, amy te nandikofa’e ty nañeferañe aze amo hakeo taoloo.
For anyone who doesn't have such qualities is short-sighted, or blind. They forget that they've been cleansed from their past sins.
10 Ie amy zao ry longo, imaneo an-joton-tro ty hañatò i fikanjiañe naho fijoboñañe anahareoy, amy t’ie mitoloñe am’ irezay, le lia’e tsy hitsikapy,
So, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined to make sure you are truly “called and chosen.” If you do this, you won't ever fall.
11 vaho hatobake ama’areo ty fizilihañe am-Pifehea-tsy modo’ i Talè naho Mpañàha an-tika, Iesoà Norizañey. (aiōnios g166)
You will receive a tremendous welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Aa le tsy hapoko t’ie ho tiahieñe am’irezay ndra te fa fohi’ areo vaho ijohaña’ areo ami’ty hatò ze ama’ areo henaneo.
That's why I always remind you about these things, even though you know them already, and you stand firm in the truth that you possess.
13 Eka ataoko mañeva ty hañetseketseke ty fitiahia’ areo, izaho mbe an-kiboho’ ty tsandriñe atoañe,
But I still think it's a good idea to encourage you by giving you reminders while I live.
14 fa apotako te hadoko aniany ty kibohotse toy, amy nampalangesa’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey amakoy.
I know the time when I shall leave this life will be coming soon— our Lord Jesus Christ has made this clear to me.
15 Aa le imaneako te izaho fa nonjoneñe añe, ty hahatiahia’areo nainai’e irezay.
I will do my best so that when I'm gone you will always be able to remember these things.
16 Tsy nañorike talily finoromporom-pañahy te nampandrendreha’ay ama’areo ty haozarañe naho fitotsaha’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey, f’ie valolombeloñe nahaisake i enge’ey,
We didn't follow made-up myths when we told you about the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ—we saw his majesty for ourselves.
17 ie nandrambe hasiñe naho engeñe aman’ Añahare Rae, naho niheo ama’e i fiarañanañañe boak’ amy Engem-bolonahetseiy, nanao ty hoe: Intoy ty Anak’ isoko, O toe norokoo.
He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice of majestic glory spoke to him and announced, “This is my Son, the one I love, and who truly pleases me.”
18 Tsinano’ay i fiarañanañañe boak’ andindìñe ey, t’ie nindre ama’e amy vohitse miavakey.
We ourselves heard this voice speak from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Toe aman-tika o tsaram-pitoky niventeñeo, le mahasoa anahareo ty hitsendreñe, hoe t’ie jiro mireandreañe am-pimoromoroñañe ao, ampara’ te manjirike i àndroy vaho mionjoñe i misaron-kazavañey.
We also have the confirming word of prophecy that's absolutely trustworthy, and you will benefit from paying close attention to it. It's like a lamp that shines in a dark place until the day dawns, and the morning star shines to illuminate your minds.
20 Le maharendreha hey añ’arofo ao te tsy amy sokitse masiñey ty fitokiañe niboak’ ami’ty fisafiria’ ondaty.
Most of all you should realize that no prophecy of scripture is a matter for interpretation based on the whims of an individual,
21 Amy te mbe lia’e tsy nanoeñe ami’ty zoton-tro’ ondaty ty fitokiañe, fe ondaty nentoe’ i Arofo-Masiñeio t’i ninday taroñe boak’ aman’ Añahare.
for no prophecy originated in human ideas, but prophets spoke for God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
