2 Petro 1
1 Saa krataa yi fi Simon Petro a ɔyɛ Yesu Kristo somfo ne ne somafo nkyɛn, Ɔde rekɔma wɔn a esiane yɛn Nyankopɔn ne yɛn Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo trenee nti, wɔama wɔn gyidi a ɛsom bo te sɛ yɛn de no ara pɛ no:
SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Adom ne asomdwoe a ɛdɔɔso a efi Onyankopɔn ne Yesu a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade no mmra mo so.
grace unto you and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God, even Jesus our Lord,
3 Onyankopɔn nam ne tumi so ama mo biribiara a ɛho hia ma asetena pa ne nyamesu. Nimdeɛ a yɛwɔ wɔ nea ofi nʼanuonyam ne nnepa mu frɛɛ yɛn no na ama yɛn saa tumi yi.
as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude:
4 Ɔnam nʼanuonyam ne nnepa so ahyɛ yɛn bɔ a ɛsom bo yiye. Ɛno nti, mobɛyɛ ne nyameyɛ no adedifo na moafi nea wiase yi porɔwee a akɔnnɔ bɔne de ba no mu.
whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.―
5 Esiane saa nti, mommɔ mmɔden mfa nneyɛe a ɛho tew nka mo gyidi ho; na momfa nimdeɛ nka nneyɛe a ɛho tew ho;
And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence;
6 na momfa ahohyɛso nka mo nimdeɛ ho; na momfa boasetɔ nka mo ahohyɛso ho; na momfa nyamesom pa nka mo boasetɔ ho;
and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety;
7 na momfa onuadɔ nka nyamesom pa ho, na momfa ɔdɔ ankasa nka onuadɔ ho.
and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love.
8 Eyinom ne su pa a ɛho hia mo. Na sɛ munya ma ɛdɔɔso a, ɛbɛma mo ayɛ nnam wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo ho nimdeɛ mu.
For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Na obiara a onni bi no yɛ onifuraefo a ontumi nhu ade. Ne werɛ afi sɛ wɔahohoro ne ho afi ne bɔne dedaw no mu.
But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days.
10 Enti me nuanom adɔfo, monyere mo ho wɔ dwuma no di mu, na enni mo ho adanse ampa ara sɛ Onyankopɔn afrɛ mo, ayi mo atena hɔ afebɔɔ. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, morenhintiw na morempa abaw nso.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble:
11 Sɛ mofa saa ɔkwan yi so a, wɔbɛma mo akɔ yɛn Awurade ne yɛn Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo Ahenni a ɛto ntwa da no mu. (aiōnios g166)
but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ne saa nti daa mekaakae mo saa asɛm yi a munim na ase atim wɔ nokware a moagye adi no mu no.
Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Misusuw sɛ, eye sɛ mmere dodow a mete ase yi, mɛbɔ mo nkae wɔ saa asɛm yi ho.
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you:
14 Minim sɛ ɛrenkyɛ biara megyaw saa ɔhonam yi hɔ sɛnea yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo daa no adi kyerɛɛ me no.
knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.
15 Mɛbɔ mmɔden sɛ mɛfa ɔkwan bi so ama moakae saa nsɛm yi bere biara wɔ me wu akyi.
I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things.
16 Ɛnyɛ anansesɛm na yɛte bɛka kyerɛɛ mo wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo tumi ne ba a ɔrebɛba no ho, na mmom yɛahu na yedi ne kɛseyɛ no ho adanse.
For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Yɛwɔ hɔ bi na Agya Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no anuonyam bere a nne bi fii Anuonyam kɛse mu kae se, “Oyi ne me Dɔba a ɔsɔ mʼani!” no.
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 Yɛn ankasa tee nne no sɛ efi ɔsoro reba bere a na yɛne no wɔ Bepɔw Kronkron no so no.
And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Ɛno nti ɛma yenya nkɔm a odiyifo no hyɛe no mu gyidi yiye. Ɛsɛ sɛ mutie no yiye efisɛ ɛte sɛ kanea a ɛhyerɛn wɔ sum mu kosi da a ade bɛkyɛ ama anɔpa nsoromma ahyerɛn wɔ mo koma mu no.
And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts.
20 Eyinom nyinaa akyi no, monkae saa asɛm yi: Obiara nni hɔ a ɔnam nʼankasa so betumi akyerɛ Kyerɛwsɛm mu nkɔmhyɛ ase.
Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man’s own suggestions.
21 Na nkɔmhyɛ biara mfi onipa pɛ mu, na mmom, Honhom Kronkron tumi mu na nnipa ka asɛm a efi Onyankopɔn.
For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.
