< 2 Peter 1 >

1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
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:
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Adom ne asomdwoe a ɛdɔɔso a efi Onyankopɔn ne Yesu a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade no mmra mo so.
3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,
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.
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
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.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
Esiane saa nti, mommɔ mmɔden mfa nneyɛe a ɛho tew nka mo gyidi ho; na momfa nimdeɛ nka nneyɛe a ɛho tew ho;
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
na momfa ahohyɛso nka mo nimdeɛ ho; na momfa boasetɔ nka mo ahohyɛso ho; na momfa nyamesom pa nka mo boasetɔ ho;
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
na momfa onuadɔ nka nyamesom pa ho, na momfa ɔdɔ ankasa nka onuadɔ ho.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
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.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
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.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
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)
12 Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.
Ne saa nti daa mekaakae mo saa asɛm yi a munim na ase atim wɔ nokware a moagye adi no mu no.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
Misusuw sɛ, eye sɛ mmere dodow a mete ase yi, mɛbɔ mo nkae wɔ saa asɛm yi ho.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
Minim sɛ ɛrenkyɛ biara megyaw saa ɔhonam yi hɔ sɛnea yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo daa no adi kyerɛɛ me no.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Mɛbɔ mmɔden sɛ mɛfa ɔkwan bi so ama moakae saa nsɛm yi bere biara wɔ me wu akyi.
16 For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
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.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
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.
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Yɛn ankasa tee nne no sɛ efi ɔsoro reba bere a na yɛne no wɔ Bepɔw Kronkron no so no.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
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.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
Eyinom nyinaa akyi no, monkae saa asɛm yi: Obiara nni hɔ a ɔnam nʼankasa so betumi akyerɛ Kyerɛwsɛm mu nkɔmhyɛ ase.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Na nkɔmhyɛ biara mfi onipa pɛ mu, na mmom, Honhom Kronkron tumi mu na nnipa ka asɛm a efi Onyankopɔn.
