2 Peter 1
1 Simoni Peteru, ìránṣẹ́ àti aposteli Jesu Kristi, Sí àwọn tí ó gba irú iyebíye ìgbàgbọ́ kan náà pẹ̀lú wá nínú òdodo Ọlọ́run wa àti ti Jesu Kristi Olùgbàlà:
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 Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà máa bí sí i fún yín nínú ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run àti ti Jesu Olúwa wa.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 Bí agbára rẹ̀ bí Ọlọ́run ti fún wa ní ohun gbogbo tí a nílò fún ṣe ti ìyè àti ti ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, nípa ìmọ̀ ẹni tí ó pè wá nípa Ògo àti ìṣeun rẹ̀.
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 Nípa èyí tí ó fi àwọn ìlérí rẹ̀ tí ó tóbi púpọ̀ tí ó ṣe iyebíye fún wa: pé nípa ìwọ̀nyí ni kí ẹ̀yin lè di alábápín nínú àbùdá ti Ọlọ́run, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá ti yọ kúrò nínú ìbàjẹ́ tí ó ń bẹ nínú ayé nípa ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́.
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 Àti nítorí ìdí èyí, ẹ máa ṣe àìsimi gbogbo, ẹ fi ìwà rere kún ìgbàgbọ́, àti ìmọ̀ kún ìwà rere;
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
6 àti àìrékọjá kún ìmọ̀; àti sùúrù kún àìrékọjá; àti ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run kún sùúrù.
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7 Àti ìfẹ́ ọmọnìkejì kún ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run; àti ìfẹ́ni kún ìfẹ́ ọmọnìkejì.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8 Nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ní nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí wọ́n bá sì pọ̀, wọn kì yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ ṣe ọ̀lẹ tàbí aláìléso nínú ìmọ̀ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ṣe aláìní nǹkan wọ̀nyí, kò lè ríran ní òkèèrè, ó fọjú, ó sì ti gbàgbé pé a ti wẹ òun nù kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ àtijọ́.
But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10 Nítorí náà, ará ẹ túbọ̀ máa ṣe àìsimi láti sọ ìpè àti yíyàn yín di dájúdájú, nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ẹ̀yin kì yóò ṣubú.
Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
11 Nítorí báyìí ni a ó pèsè fún yín lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ láti wọ ìjọba àìnípẹ̀kun ti Olúwa àti Olùgbàlà wa Jesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)
and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Nítorí náà, èmi ó máa rán yin létí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí nígbà gbogbo, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ wọ́n, tí ẹsẹ̀ yín sì múlẹ̀ nínú òtítọ́ tí ẹ ní báyìí.
Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
13 Èmi sì rò pé ó tọ́ láti máa mú wọn wá sí ìrántí yín, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí èmí ba ń bẹ nínú àgọ́ ara yìí.
I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
14 Bí èmi ti mọ̀ pé, bíbọ́ àgọ́ ara mi yìí sílẹ̀ kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀, àní, bí Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi ti fihàn mí.
because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 Èmi ó sì máa ṣaápọn pẹ̀lú, kí ẹ̀yin lè máa rántí nǹkan wọ̀nyí nígbà gbogbo lẹ́yìn ikú mi.
And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
16 Nítorí kì í ṣe bí ẹni tí ó ń tọ ìtàn asán lẹ́yìn tí a fi ọgbọ́nkọ́gbọ́n là sílẹ̀, nígbà tí àwa sọ fún yín ní ti agbára àti wíwá Jesu Kristi Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n ẹlẹ́rìí ọláńlá rẹ̀ ni àwa jẹ́.
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 Nítorí tí Ó gba ọlá àti ògo láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba, nígbà tí irú ohùn yìí fọ̀ sí i láti inú ògo ńlá náà wá pé, “Èyí ni àyànfẹ́ ọmọ mi, ẹni tí inú mi dùn sí gidigidi.”
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 Àwa pẹ̀lú sì gbọ́ ohun yìí tí ó ti ọ̀run wá nígbà tí àwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní orí òkè mímọ́ náà.
And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19 Àwa sì ní ìfẹsẹ̀múlẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì dunjúdunjú sí i, èyí tí ó yẹ kí ẹ kíyèsi gẹ́gẹ́ bí fìtílà tó ń mọ́lẹ̀ níbi tí òkùnkùn gbé wà, títí ilẹ̀ yóò fi mọ́, tí ìràwọ̀ òwúrọ̀ yóò sì yọ lọ́kàn yín.
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 Ju gbogbo rẹ̀ lọ, kí ẹ ní òye yìí pé kò sí àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ìwé mímọ́ kankan tí ó wáyé nípa ìtumọ̀ wòlíì fún rara rẹ̀.
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
21 Nítorí àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ kan kò ti ipá ìfẹ́ ènìyàn wá rí; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run bí a ti ń darí wọn láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ wá.
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.
