2 Petro 1
1 Krataa yi firi Simon Petro a meyɛ Yesu Kristo ɔsomfoɔ ne ne ɔsomafoɔ nkyɛn, Mede kɔma wɔn a ɛsiane yɛn Onyankopɔn ne yɛn Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo tenenee enti, wɔama wɔn gyidie a ɛsom bo te sɛ yɛn deɛ no ara pɛ no:
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
2 Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛdɔɔso a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn ne Yesu a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade no mmra mo so.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 Onyankopɔn nam ne tumi so ama mo biribiara a ɛho hia ma asetena pa ne nyamesu. Nimdeɛ a yɛwɔ wɔ deɛ ɔfiri nʼanimuonyam ne nnepa mu frɛɛ yɛn no na ama yɛn saa tumi yi.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
4 Ɔnam nʼanimuonyam ne ne nnepa so ahyɛ yɛn bɔ a ɛsom bo yie. Ɛno enti, wama yɛn ne su kronkron no bi, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛfiri ewiase yi porɔeɛ a akɔnnɔ bɔne de ba no mu.
Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5 Esiane saa enti, mommɔ mmɔden mfa nneyɛeɛ a ɛho teɛ nka mo gyidie ho; na momfa nimdeɛ nka nneyɛeɛ a ɛho teɛ ho;
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
6 na momfa ahohyɛsoɔ nka mo nimdeɛ ho; na momfa boasetɔ nka mo ahohyɛsoɔ ho; na momfa nyamesom pa nka mo boasetɔ ho;
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7 na momfa onuadɔ nka nyamesom pa ho, na momfa ɔdɔ amapa nka onuadɔ ho.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8 Yeinom ne su pa a ɛho hia mo. Na sɛ monya ma ɛdɔɔso a, ɛbɛma mo ayɛ nnam wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo ho nimdeɛ mu.
For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Na obiara a ɔnni bi no yɛ onifirani a ɔntumi nhunu adeɛ. Ne werɛ afiri sɛ wɔahohoro ne bɔne dada.
But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10 Enti, me nuanom adɔfoɔ, monyere mo ho wɔ dwuma no die mu, na ɛnni mo ho adanseɛ ampa ara sɛ Onyankopɔn afrɛ mo, ayi mo atena hɔ afebɔɔ. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, morensunti na morempa aba nso.
Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
11 Sɛ mofa saa ɛkwan yi so a, wɔbɛma mo akɔ yɛn Awurade ne yɛn Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo Ahennie a ɛtoɔ ntwa da no mu. (aiōnios g166)
and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ne saa enti, daa mekaakae mo saa asɛm yi a monim na atim nokorɛ a moagye adi no mu no.
Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
13 Mesusu sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ mmerɛ dodoɔ a mete ase yi, mɛbɔ mo nkaeɛ wɔ saa asɛm yi ho.
I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
14 Menim sɛ ɛrenkyɛre biara mɛgya saa ɔhonam yi hɔ sɛdeɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo daa no adi kyerɛɛ me no.
because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 Mɛbɔ mmɔden sɛ mɛfa ɛkwan biara so ama mo akae saa nsɛm yi ɛberɛ biara wɔ me wuo akyi.
And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
16 Ɛnyɛ anansesɛm na yɛte bɛka kyerɛɛ mo wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo tumi ne ba a ɔrebɛba no ho, na mmom, yɛahunu na yɛdi ne kɛseyɛ no ho adanseɛ.
For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
17 Yɛwɔ hɔ bi na Agya Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no animuonyam ɛberɛ a nne bi firi Animuonyam kɛseɛ mu kaa sɛ, “Yei ne me Dɔba a ɔsɔ mʼani!” no.
For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
18 Yɛn ankasa tee nne no sɛ ɛfiri ɔsoro reba ɛberɛ a na yɛne no wɔ Bepɔ Kronkron no so no.
And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19 Ɛno enti, ɛma yɛnya nkɔm a odiyifoɔ no hyɛeɛ no mu gyidie yie. Ɛsɛ sɛ motie no yie ɛfiri sɛ, ɛte sɛ kanea a ɛhyerɛn wɔ sum mu kɔsi da a adeɛ bɛkye ama anɔpa nsoromma ahyerɛn wɔ mo akoma mu no.
We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Yeinom nyinaa akyi no, monkae saa asɛm yi: Obiara nni hɔ a ɔnam nʼankasa so bɛtumi akyerɛ Atwerɛsɛm mu nkɔmhyɛ ase.
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
21 Na nkɔmhyɛ biara mfiri onipa pɛ mu, na mmom, Honhom Kronkron tumi mu na nnipa ka asɛm a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn.
For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
