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.
To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
2 Na ubunu Kutelle so nan ghinu, na lissosin limang in yiru Kutelle kpin nan nya mine nnuzu in Yesu cikilari bit.
May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure, as you advance in 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.
For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
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.
For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
5 Bara imon irum ilele, shonon ati nsu nimon icine nan nyan in yinnu sa uyenu nin su katwa kacine nin yinu.
Yes, and for this reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
6 Nan nya in yru seu uminu nati, nan nya nminu nati sen uteru nayi nan nyan teru nayi, yitan nin fiu Kutelle,
knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
7 nan nya fiu Kutelle yitan nin su linuana, nan nya nsu linuana yitan nin su nati.
piety by mutual affection, and mutual affection by love.
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, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller 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.
Surely the person who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that they have been purified from their sins of the past!
10 Bara nani, linuana, shonon ati it uyiculu mine nin feru mine durso nati mine. Asa idn ile imone, na ima tirzu ba.
Therefore, friends, do your best to put God’s call and selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
11 Bara nani mmari midya wari mma niminu nan nya kilari tigo. Ncikalari bite nin nan tucu Yesu Kristi. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal 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.
I will, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the truth that you now hold.
13 Ndin yenju kubi nda dert nzunzun minue nlizun minu nbelen nile imone, ligang lissosin ning nan nya kudanga kone.
But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this “tent,” to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
14 Bara meng yiru nine men ma kalu kadanga nghe, nafo na cikilari bite Yesus Kristi na dursoi.
for I know that the time for this “tent” of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
15 Meng ba su ligan. ....? nighe, bara anughe inan lizizino ilenge imone kimal nnyiu nighe.
So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
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 were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses 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 honour and glory from God the Father, when from the glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these – “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy.”
18 Ti wa lanza liwui tone na liwa nuzu kitene Kutelle: na tiwa di ligowe nan ghe kitene kikup liau.
These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from heaven, when we were with him on that sacred mountain.
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.
And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Tun cizinan i yining ulele, nworu anabci ale nainyertine na udin nuzu nkpilizu nnan liru nin nin Kutellere litime ba.
But first be assured of this: There is no prophetic teaching found in scripture that can be interpreted by a person’s unaided reason;
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 no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of people, but people, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
