Petere II 1
1 Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Simone Petere, motlhanka le morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete. Lo ya kwa go: botlhe ba ba nang le tumelo e e tshwanang le ya rona. Tumelo e ke buang ka yone ke ya mofuta o Jesu Keresete Modimo le Mmoloki wa rona o e re nayang. E ntle jang e bile o tshiamo jang go naya mongwe le mongwe wa rona tumelo e, e e tshwanang.
Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 A o batla boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa Modimo thata le kagiso? Jalo ithute go mo itse botoka thata.
Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement of God and of Jesus our Lord!
3 Gonne fa o mo itse thata, o tlaa go naya ka nonofo ya gagwe, sengwe le sengwe se o se batlang go tshela botshelo jwa boammaaruri: O tlhakanela le rona le eleng kgalalelo le tshiamo ya gagwe.
As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness,
4 Mme ka yone fela nonofo e kgolo eo, o re neile khumo le masego a a hakgamatsang a o a solofeditseng, jaaka tsholofetso ya go re boloka mo dikeletsong le mo boleong jo bo re dikaganyeditseng, le go re naya mokgwa wa gagwe.
through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.
5 Mme go nna le dimpho tse, lo tlhoka mo gogolo go feta tumelo; lo tshwanetse gape go dira thata go nna tshiamo, le fa go sa lekana. Gonne lo tshwanetse go ithuta go itse Modimo thata le go bona se o batlang lo se dira.
And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,
6 Gape, ithuteng go beela dikeletso tsa lona fa thoko gore lo tle lo nne pelotelele le tshiamo, ka boitumelo lo letla Modimo go tsamaya le lona.
and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,
7 Se se tlaa dira gore kgato e e latelang e kgonege, e e leng ya lona go itumelela batho ba bangwe le go ba rata, mme morago lo tlaa gola mo go ba rateng thata.
and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;
8 Fa lo ntse lo tsweletse sentle mo tseleng e, lo tlaa nonofa mo moweng lo bo lo nna le maungo le tiriso mo go Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,
9 Mme mongwe yo o palelwang ke go sala mekgwa e ya tumelo morago, ke sefofu, ebile ga a bone sentle, mme o lebetse gore Modimo o mo golotse mo botshelong jo bogologolo jwa sebe le gore jaanong o ka tshela botshelo jo bo tiileng, botshelo jo bo siametseng Morena.
for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
10 Jalo bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, dirang thata go supa tota gore lommogo le ba Modimo o ba biditseng le ba o ba tlhophileng, mme ga lo kitla lo kgotswa kgotsa lo wa.
wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,
11 Mme Modimo o tlaa lo bulela dikgoro tsa legodimo go tsena mo Bogosing jo bo sa khutleng jwa Morena le mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete. (aiōnios g166)
for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ke rulaganyetsa go nna ke lo gakolola dilo tse ka metlha le fa lo setse lo di itse ebile tota lo tsamaya sentle!
Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth,
13 Mme Morena Jesu Keresete o mpontshitse gore malatsi a me mo lefatsheng a badilwe, ke gaufi le go swa.
and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding [you],
14 Fela fa ke santse ke le fa ke ikaelela go nna ke lo romelela dikgakololo tse,
having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,
15 ke solofela go di gatelela sentle mo go lona gore lo tle lo di gakologelwe ka lobaka lo loleele fa ke sena go tloga.
and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.
16 Gonne re ne re sa lo bolelele dinaane fa re lo tlhalosetsa nonofo ya Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete le go tla ga gagwe gape. Ka matlho a me ke bonye phatsimo e kgolo le kgalalelo ya gagwe!
For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty —
17 Ke ne ke le gone mo thabeng e e boitshepo fa a phatshima ka tlotlo e o e neilweng ke Modimo Rraagwe;
for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: 'This is My Son — the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;'
18 ke utlwile lentswe leo le le galalelang la Bogosi le le neng le tswa legodimong, le re, “Yo ke Morwaake yo o rategang thata; ke itumela thata ka ene.”
and this voice we — we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount.
19 Jalo re bonye ebile re tlhomamisitse gore se Baporofiti ba se buileng se diragetse. Lo tlaa bo lo dira sentle go tlhokomela sengwe le sengwe se ba se kwadileng, gonne jaaka lesedi le phatshima mo felong fa go lefifi, mafoko a bone a re thusa go tlhaloganya dilo di le dintsi tse gongwe di ka bong di fifetse ebile di le thata. Mme fa lo ela tlhoko boammaaruri jo bo hakgamatsang jwa mafoko a baporofiti, jalo lesedi le tlaa phatsima mo meweng ya lona mme Keresete Naledi ya moso o tlaa phatsima mo dipelong tsa lona.
And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise — in your hearts;
20 Gonne ga go na polelelo-pele epe e e kwadilweng mo Lokwalong e e ikakanyeditsweng ke moporofiti ka bo ene. E ne e le ka Mowa O O Boitshepo o o neng o le mo bathong ba ba ratang Modimo o o ba neetseng molaetsa wa boammaruri o o tswang kwa Modimong.
this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,
for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.
