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 an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
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.
According as his divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
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.
By which are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Esiane saa enti, mommɔ mmɔden mfa nneyɛeɛ a ɛho teɛ nka mo gyidie ho; na momfa nimdeɛ nka nneyɛeɛ a ɛho teɛ ho;
And besides this, giving all diligence, 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 patience; and to patience 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 charity.
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 these things are in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the 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 he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old 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 the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
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)
For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour 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 not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Mesusu sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ mmerɛ dodoɔ a mete ase yi, mɛbɔ mo nkaeɛ wɔ saa asɛm yi ho.
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Menim sɛ ɛrenkyɛre biara mɛgya saa ɔhonam yi hɔ sɛdeɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo daa no adi kyerɛɛ me no.
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.
15 Mɛbɔ mmɔden sɛ mɛfa ɛkwan biara so ama mo akae saa nsɛm yi ɛberɛ biara wɔ me wuo akyi.
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
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 have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but 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 from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, 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 this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount.
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 have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise 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.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Na nkɔmhyɛ biara mfiri onipa pɛ mu, na mmom, Honhom Kronkron tumi mu na nnipa ka asɛm a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn.
For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
