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:
Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Hasoa naho fañanintsiñe hiregorego ama’ areo handrendrehañe an’Andrianañahare naho Iesoà Talèntikañey.
May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, 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.
Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;
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.
And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
5 Ie amy zay, milozoha hatovon-kavañonañe ami’ty fatokisa’areo naho hilala amy havañonañey,
So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,
6 naho filieram-batañe amy hilalay naho fahaliñisañe amy filieram-batañey naho fiasian-Kake amy fahaliñisañey
And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,
7 naho firañetañe amy fiasiañey vaho fikokoañe amy firañetañey.
And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.
8 Aa ie ama’ areo vaho miraorao, ro isebaña’e tsy halejolejo tsy ho po-bokatse ami’ty faharendrehañe i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the 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 the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old 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,
For this reason, my brothers, take all the more care to make your selection and approval certain; for if you do these things you will never have a fall:
11 vaho hatobake ama’areo ty fizilihañe am-Pifehea-tsy modo’ i Talè naho Mpañàha an-tika, Iesoà Norizañey. (aiōnios g166)
For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour 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.
For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.
13 Eka ataoko mañeva ty hañetseketseke ty fitiahia’ areo, izaho mbe an-kiboho’ ty tsandriñe atoañe,
And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;
14 fa apotako te hadoko aniany ty kibohotse toy, amy nampalangesa’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey amakoy.
For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 Aa le imaneako te izaho fa nonjoneñe añe, ty hahatiahia’areo nainai’e irezay.
And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.
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,
For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.
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.
For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
18 Tsinano’ay i fiarañanañañe boak’ andindìñe ey, t’ie nindre ama’e amy vohitse miavakey.
And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, 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.
And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;
20 Le maharendreha hey añ’arofo ao te tsy amy sokitse masiñey ty fitokiañe niboak’ ami’ty fisafiria’ ondaty.
Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.
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 these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
