2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah:
Mwen menm, Simon Pyè, sèvitè ak apòt Jezikri, m'ap ekri lèt sa a pou nou menm ki resevwa yon konfyans ki gen menm valè ak pa m' lan, gremesi Jezikri, Bondye nou ak Sovè nou ki fè nou gras.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua our Lord,
M'ap mande Bondye pou nou resevwa anpil benediksyon ak kè poze, gremesi konesans Bondye ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, nou genyen.
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,
Pouvwa Bondye a ban nou tou sa nou bezwen pou nou ka viv, pou nou ka sèvi li. Li fè nou konnen moun ki te rele nou an, lè li te fè nou wè pouvwa li ak bèl bagay li yo.
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.
Se konsa, Bondye ban nou pwomès li yo ki gwo anpil, ki gen anpil valè, pou nou kapab patisipe nan sa Bondye ye a, pou nou kapab chape anba koripsyon ki nan lemonn, akòz move lanvi ki nan kè moun.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
Se poutèt sa, nou dwe fè tou sa nou kapab pou nou pa rete ak konfyans nou gen nan Bondye a sèlman. Men, apa konfyans lan se pou nou gen bon kondit. Apa bon kondit la, se pou nou gen konesans.
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
Apa konesans la, se pou nou konn kontwole tèt nou. Apa konn kontwole tèt nou an, se pou nou gen pasyans. Apa pasyans la, se pou nou sèvi Bondye.
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
Apa sèvi Bondye a, se pou nou gen renmen pou frè yo. Apa renmen nou gen pou frè nou an, se pou nou gen renmen pou tout moun.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Si nou gen tout bagay sa yo nan nou, si nou devlope yo nan nou, nou p'ap rete bra kwaze. Se p'ap pou gremesi nou konnen ki moun Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ye.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Men, moun ki pa gen bagay sa yo nan yo, y'ap tankou yon avèg ki pa wè lwen, yo bliye jan Bondye te netwaye yo anba vye peche yo.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Se poutèt sa, frè m' yo, se pou nou fè jefò plis toujou pou nou rete fèm nan pozisyon kote Bondye mete nou an, li menm ki rele nou, ki chwazi nou. Si nou fè sa, nou p'ap janm tonbe.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
Konsa, la ban nou dwa antre lib nan peyi kote Jezikri, Seyè nou ak Sovè nou an, ap gouvènen tankou wa pou tout tan an. (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.
Se poutèt sa, nou te mèt konnen bagay sa yo deja, nou te mèt kanpe fèm nan verite nou resevwa a, mwen p'ap janm manke fè nou chonje bagay sa yo.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
Wi, toutotan mwen poko mouri, mwen kwè se yon devwa pou m' fè nou chonje bagay sa yo pou dòmi pa pran nou.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Yeshua the Messiah made clear to me.
Paske, mwen konnen mwen pa lwen mouri. Se Seyè a menm ki fè m' konn sa.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Men, m'ap fè tout posib mwen pou nou pa janm bliye bagay sa yo lè m' fin ale.
16 For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Paske, lè m' t'ap fè nou konnen jan Jezikri, Seyè nou an, te vini avèk pouvwa li, se pa t' istwa moun envante nan tèt yo mwen t'ap rakonte nou. Men, se paske mwen menm, mwen te wè Seyè a nan tout pouvwa li ak je pa mwen.
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.”
Mwen te la lè Bondye Papa a te ba li respè ak lwanj, lè nan mitan tout pouvwa a, vwa Bondye te pale, li di konsa: Ou se pitit mwen renmen anpil la, ou fè kè m' kontan anpil.
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Nou te tande vwa ki te soti nan syèl la, lè nou te la ansanm avè l' sou mòn kote Bondye te pale ak nou an.
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,
Se poutèt sa, mwen pran pawòl pwofèt yo pou pawòl ki sèten nèt. Nou menm tou nou byen fèt lè nou pran pawòl sa yo ak gwo konsiderasyon, tankou yon lanp k'ap klere nan fènwa a jouk jou a va pwente, jouk zetwal ki klere chak maten an va leve nan kè nou.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
Men, anvan tout bagay, se pou nou konn sa byen: pesonn pa gen dwa pran mesaj pwofèt ki ekri nan Liv la pou li ba li sans li vle.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Paske, pwofèt yo pa t' janm bay mesaj paske yo menm yo te vle. Okontrè, se Sentespri ki te pouse yo lè yo t'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye.
