< 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:
ᎠᏴ ᏌᏩᏂ ᏈᏓ, ᎠᎸᎾᏝᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᏅᏏᏛ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎦᏥᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎨᏥᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ ᎣᎩᏁᎸ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ, ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᏁ ᎤᏓᏅᏘᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎦᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎢᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

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,
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏩᏔᏅᎢ ᎢᎩᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏕᏛᏅ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎢᎩᏯᏅᏛ ᏥᎩ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏍᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
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.

5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᎶᏟᏂᎬᏁᎲ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᏔᎵ ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏔᎵ ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗᏃ ᎨᏒ ᏔᎵ ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᎵᏏᎾᎯᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎵᏏᎾᎯᏍᏙᏗᏃ ᎨᏒ ᏔᎵ ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏗᏨᏂᏗᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᏗᏨᏂᏗᏳᏃ ᎨᏒ ᏔᎵ ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

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.
ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎣᏤᎭ ᎠᎴ ᏱᎧᏁᏉᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏂᎬᏂᏌ ᎥᏝ ᎢᏥᏍᎦᏃᎸ ᎠᎴ ᏂᏥᏁᏉᏣᏛᎾ ᏱᎦᎩ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵᎦ.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
ᏄᏪᎲᎾᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎨᏫᏉ ᎠᎴ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎬᏩᎪᏩᏛᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏩᎨᏫᏒᎯ ᎠᏥᏅᎦᎸᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᎤᏍᎦᏅᏥᏙᎸᎢ.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎢᏣᏟᏂᎬᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᏄᏜᏓᏏᏛᏒᎾ ᎢᏨᏁᏗᏱ ᎡᏥᏯᏅᎲ ᎠᎴ ᎡᏣᏑᏰᏒᎢ; ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏱᏂᏣᏛᏁᎭ, ᎥᏝ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏱᏙᎨᏥᏅᎩ.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᏂᏣᏛᏁᎲ ᎤᏣᏔᏅᎯ ᎡᏥᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏴᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏗᎨᏒ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎢᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ. (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.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᏴᏓᎨᎵᏏ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎢᏨᏯᏅᏓᏗᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ, ᎢᏥᎦᎳᎭᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᏣᎵᏂᎪᏒ ᎾᎿᎭᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎪᎯ ᏥᏣᏛᎩᎭ.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
ᎥᎥ, ᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎨᎵᎭ ᎢᎪᎯᏛ ᎠᏂ ᎯᎠ ᎦᎵᏦᏛ ᏥᏯᎥᎢ, ᎢᏨᏰᏍᏛᏙᏗᏱ ᎢᏨᏯᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᏥᎦᏔᎲ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎾᏉ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎠᎩᏗᏱ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏆᏤᎵ ᎦᎵᏦᏛᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎾᏋᏁᎸᎢ.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
ᎠᎴ ᏓᎦᏟᏂᎬᏁᎵ ᎠᎩᎶᏐᏅᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎨᏨᎨᏫᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ.
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.
ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎠᎵᏏᎾᎯᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏎᏉ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏲᎩᏍᏓᏩᏛᏎ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏨᏴᏁᎸ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎷᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ; ᏱᎩᎪᎲᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏒᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ.
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.”
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᎸᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎢᎦᏚᎸᏌᏛᎢ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎧᏁᎬ ᏧᎷᏤᎸ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎢᎦ-ᏚᎸᏌᏛ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᎤᎯ, [ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎦᏪᏍᎬᎩ, ] ᎯᎠ ᏥᎨᏳᎢ ᎠᏇᏥ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏥᏰᎸᎢ ᏥᎩ.
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᎤᏁᏨ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᏅᏓᏳᎶᏒᎯ ᎣᎦᏛᎦᏅᎩ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎦᎸᏉᏗ ᎣᏓᎸ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎣᏤᏙᎲᎢ.
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,
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᏄᏜᏓᏏᏛᏒᎾ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎠᏙᎴᎰᏒᎯ ᎢᎩᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏱᏂᏣᏛᎦ ᏱᏣᎦᏌᏯᏍᏔᏅ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᎦ-ᏚᎸᏌᏛ ᎤᎵᏏᎬ ᏨᎦᏌᏯᏍᏗᏍᎪᎢ, ᎬᏂ ᎢᎦ ᏓᎦᏙᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏑᎾᎴ ᎡᎯ ᏃᏈᏏ ᏓᎧᎸᎩ ᏗᏥᎾᏫᏱ;
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
ᎢᎬᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᎦᏙᎥᏎᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏌᏉ ᎤᏅ ᎠᏙᎴᎰᏒᎯ ᎪᏪᎸᎢ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎨᏒ ᏗᎬᏁᏢᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
ᎤᎾᏙᎴᎰᏒᏰᏃ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏎᎢ ᎥᏝ ᏴᏫᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᏴᏗᏓᎴᏁᎢ; ᎠᏃᏍᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏤᎵᎦ ᎠᏂᏁᎨ ᎢᏳᏂᏪᏍᏗᏱ ᏄᏅᏁᎲ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ.
