< 2 Pitar 1 >
1 Jisu Kristo gv pakbu akobv rinv okv ngo Apostol Simon Pitar lokv— Ngonugv aingbv Pwknvyarnv gvlo tarwkbak yachoknv lamtv lokv okv ngonugv ringnvbaanv Jisu Kristo gv lokv arvdoya choknv mvngjwng jinam vdwlo kumrwksinam gaamv:
To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an Apostle of Jesus Christ.
2 Pwknvyarnv okv ngonugv Ahtu Jisunyi nonugv chinam lokv nonu gvlo akomaring bv anyuaya namv okv sarsopoyo namv doolwk yilaka.
May blessing and peace be yours in ever-increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
3 Yvvdw ngonua ninyigv yunglit okv alvnam baak dubv vla ngonua goknv, um ngonu chinggv rila jvjvnv dormo singdunglo singnam lvgabv ogu ogugo dinchi pvkudw ho mvnwng nga Pwknvyarnv gv kairungnv jwkrwa ngonua jitoku.
For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
4 Svkvnv lamtv lo hv milvkunam lo arv doyachoknv okv achialv bv kainv amin am jitoku, svbv amin jiku sokv nonu nyiamooku sokv yonwngla mvyakmvchak nam lokv kilin dukubv, okv Pwknvyarnv ridung nga paaming gvvdu kubv.
For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
5 Holvgabv vbvrinamv nonugv lvgvlvma lokv nonugv mvngjwng lo alvnam am lwkpwng toka; nonugv alvnv chingkikpakik nama lwkpwng toka.
Yes, and for this very reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
6 Nonugv chingkikpakik nam lokv saktv nvnvlo lwkpwng toka; nonugv saktvnam lokv himv gvnvlo lwkpwng toka; nonugv himvnam lokv Pwknvyarnv mvngnam am lwkpwng toka;
knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
7 nonugv Pwknvyarnv mvngnam lokv kristan pakmi sinama lwkpwng toka; okv nonugv kristan pakmi sinam lokv paknama lwkpwng toka.
piety by brotherly affection, and brotherly affection by love.
8 Sikvnv alamai am nonu dinchi svngv, okv nonu gvlo bunua doolwk mobolo, vv bunu nonua ngonu Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv chingkikpakik am nonu gvlo asaryaung more okv chvrv more.
For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Vbvritola soogv vdwsi yvvbunu gvlo dooma dudw bunu abwkajek mabv ho nonu kaapa nyomadu okv nonugv kvvlo rimur rikunam am kakpung kunam am mvngpa kuma duku.
Surely the man who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that he has been purified from his sins of the past!
10 Vkvlvgabv, ngoogv ajin vdw, nonua Pwknvyarnv gv goknam am okv ninyigv gaknam am doobwng rungdubv ritolaka; holvgabv svkvnv sum nonu vbvribolo nonugv mvngjwng nam sum vdwloka kayu mare.
Therefore, Brothers, do your best to put God’s Call and Selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
11 Svkvnv riku lamtv lokv nonugv Ahtu okv ringnv Jisu Kristo gv turbwngjiku karv lo aala dubv Pwknvyarnv jire. (aiōnios )
For thus you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
12 Okv nonu vdwv jvjvrungnv sum adakrungbv hargap pvvla laarwk pvvsudu okv bunua chinpvvla doodu vbvrijvka svkvnv sum ngo nonua mvngpa la ribvre.
I shall, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the Truth that you now hold.
13 Ngoogv turyi dvdv so svkvnv vdw sum nonuam mimpa yala miyar yanam si ngoogv tarwkbaknv kudungkua ngv vla mvngsu dunv.
But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this ‘tent,’ to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
14 Ngonugv Ahtu Jisu gv nga mindalvpa bv minjinam aingbv, ngoogv so nyejikunv adwnamar sum kayu yiku nvpv vla ngo chinsudu.
for I know that the time for this ‘tent’ of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
15 Vbvrikunamv, ngoogv siro kokwng lojvka svkvnv sum nonu lvgabv mvngpa bvbv sila dubv, ngo vdwgo lvgvlvmabv risv vdw vkvgo rila vvpv jire.
So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
16 Ngonu Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv kairungbv aasv nga chimu dubv vla mvnammvsubv higu mvnam vdwa mvngging madunv. Ninyigv Kairungnv am ngonu nyikdadw lo kaatar lwknam lokv minji doonv.
For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the Coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Vdwlo hv mvngdv okv yunglit nama, Pwknvyarnv Abu gv lokv jito kubvdw ngonu hoka dooto, vdwlo ninyia vlvgo aala Kaiyachokbv Yunglit kunv gv lokv vbv minjila, “Si ngoogv Paknam Kuunyilo ngv, ngo ninyia alvrungbv mvngpu dunv!”
For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when from the Glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these — ‘This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight.’
18 Vdwlo ngonu darwknv moodw lo ninyigv lvkobv doola riyilo, ngonu atubongv awv soogv vlv nga nyidomooku lokv aadu bv tvvtar lwkto.
These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from Heaven, when we were with him on that Sacred Mountain.
19 Vbvrikunamv nyijwk vdwgv doin japgo kunama ngonu alvyabv mvngjwng yaya duku. Nonu svkvnv sum alvjvbv tvvgap suto laka, ogulvgavbolo Sikvnv si mvdurupum aingbv ridu oogv kanvparam lo loung bv arupua lobv hunglwknam apiabv okv nonugv haapoklo arukamchi gv karlumpumbum loung ngv hunglwkdu.
And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the Prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the Day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts.
20 Ogubvrijvka, mvnwng gv aolo sum mvnggap tvlaka yvvka Darwknv Kitap lo nyijwk vdwgv nyikrw kaanama atubogv yvvka minbwk jila nyumare.
But first be assured of this: — There is no prophetic teaching found in Scripture that can be interpreted by man’s unaided reason;
21 Vkvlvgavbolo nyijwk vdwgv doin milwk minamv vdwloka nyia mvngnam lokv aamato, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gvlokv aanv doina nyi vdwgv japyilo japnv vdwv Darwknv Dow gv arwnglo doonyato.
for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of man, but men, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
