< 2 Bitrus 1 >

1 Simon Bitrus kucin nin gono kadura in Yesus Kristi, uncindu kita na lenge na ina seru uyinnu sa uyenu ucine urume nan ghiruk, uyinnu sa uyenu nan nya katwa kacine Kutelle in Yesus Kristi.
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 Na ubunu Kutelle so nan ghinu, na lissosin limang in yiru Kutelle kpin nan nya mine nnuzu in Yesu cikilari bit.
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Nafo imon likara Kutelle vat in lai nin fiu Kutelle in niari unuzu in yiru Kutelle, ulenge na ana yicila nari nan nya ngigibg nin lidu licine.
According as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue:
4 Nan nyan ni lele, ana niari ucinu nnuu un likara ucine. ana su nani ti nan so anan se nikop nan nya nidowo kitene, kimal na ina se usurtu nnuzu likara linanzang nin su nimon yii.
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these all of you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Bara imon irum ilele, shonon ati nsu nimon icine nan nyan in yinnu sa uyenu nin su katwa kacine nin yinu.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 Nan nya in yru seu uminu nati, nan nya nminu nati sen uteru nayi nan nyan teru nayi, yitan nin fiu Kutelle,
And to knowledge wilful restrain; and to wilful restrain patience; and to patience godliness;
7 nan nya fiu Kutelle yitan nin su linuana, nan nya nsu linuana yitan nin su nati.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love. (agape)
8 Asa ile imone di nan nya mine, idin kunju nan nya mine, na ima yitu are ba sa anan sali mumat nan nyan in yirun in cikilari Yesu Kristi.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that all of you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Ama ulenge na a dira ilenge imone, adin yenju imon ile na idi susutari cas; adi udu. Ame nshawa ukusu nalapia kuse me.
But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see far off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Bara nani, linuana, shonon ati it uyiculu mine nin feru mine durso nati mine. Asa idn ile imone, na ima tirzu ba.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if all of you do these things, all of you shall never fall:
11 Bara nani mmari midya wari mma niminu nan nya kilari tigo. Ncikalari bite nin nan tucu Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Bara nani, ko nin shi mma lizizin muni ile imone, in yiru iyiru inin, idi nin nakara nan nya kidegene nene.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though all of you know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Ndin yenju kubi nda dert nzunzun minue nlizun minu nbelen nile imone, ligang lissosin ning nan nya kudanga kone.
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Bara meng yiru nine men ma kalu kadanga nghe, nafo na cikilari bite Yesus Kristi na dursoi.
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
15 Meng ba su ligan. ....? nighe, bara anughe inan lizizino ilenge imone kimal nnyiu nighe.
Moreover I will endeavour that all of you may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Bara na arik wa dortu ti beliu minu gegeme ba ubeleng likara nin dak ncikilari bite Yesu Kristi, ama ti wa ti iyizi nba in yenun gongong me.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 Bara awa seru kiti Kutelle ucife uzazunu nin gongong na liwui wa nuzu kitene kani nin likara nin gongong li woro, “Ulengene usaun nighari, unan su nayi ning, ulenge na ayi ning di nin su me kang.”
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 Ti wa lanza liwui tone na liwa nuzu kitene Kutelle: na tiwa di ligowe nan ghe kitene kikup liau.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 Ti di nin lirun anabci ulenge na uso kidegen, ulenge na ucara i ceo unin umasin nafo ula na uta kanan nan nyan kitin sirti na kwuidinding nda fiini nkwuidinding nta nkanang nibinai mine.
We have also a more sure word (logos) of prophecy; unto which all of you do well that all of you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Tun cizinan i yining ulele, nworu anabci ale nainyertine na udin nuzu nkpilizu nnan liru nin nin Kutellere litime ba.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Bara na amon anabci na dak unuzu nkpilizu unit ba, ama anitari Uruhu din dortu nin ghinu i pila ulirue i bele uning.
For the 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. (pneuma)
