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:
Nze Simooni Peetero omuddu era omutume wa Yesu Kristo mpandiikira abo abaafuna okukkiriza okw’omuwendo nga ffe, mu butuukirivu bwa Katonda waffe era Omulokozi waffe Yesu Kristo,
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
ekisa n’emirembe byeyongerenga mu mmwe nga mutegeera Katonda ne Yesu Mukama waffe.
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,
Kubanga mu maanyi g’obwakatonda bwe, mwe twaweerwa ebintu byonna olw’obulamu buno n’okutya Katonda mu kumanya oyo eyatuyita olw’ekitiibwa kye n’obulungi bwe ye.
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.
Ebyo bye byatuweesa ebisuubizo eby’omuwendo ebikulu, mu byo mulyoke mugabanire awamu obuzaaliranwa bw’obwakatonda, muwone okuzikirira okuva mu kwegomba okubi okw’omu nsi.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
Noolwekyo mufubenga nnyo, okukkiriza kwammwe mukwongereko obulungi, ne ku bulungi mwongereko okutegeera,
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
ne ku kutegeera mwongereko okwefuganga, ne ku kwefuganga mwongereko obugumiikiriza, ne ku bugumiikiriza mwongereko okutya Katonda,
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
ne ku kutya Katonda mwongereko okufaayo ku booluganda abalala bonna ne ku kufaayo ku booluganda bonna abalala mwongereko okwagalananga.
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.
Kubanga bwe muba n’ebyo ne byeyongera obungi, bibafuula ba mugaso era ababala ebibala olw’okutegeera Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Oyo atalina ebyo muzibe wa maaso era awunaawuna, era yeerabidde bwe yanaazibwako ebibi bye eby’edda.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Kale, abooluganda mweyongerenga okunywerera mu kulondebwa kwammwe ne mu kuyitibwa kwammwe. Kubanga bwe munaakolanga bwe mutyo temulyesittala n’omulundi n’ogumu.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Era mulyanirizibwa n’essanyu lingi nnyo mu bwakabaka bwa Mukama waffe era Omulokozi waffe Yesu Kristo. (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.
Noolwekyo, ebyo nzija kubibajjukizanga buli kiseera, newaakubadde nga mubimanyi, era nga ddala munyweredde mu mazima ge mwategeera.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
Era ndowooza nti kiŋŋwanira nga nkyali mu mubiri guno, okubakubirizanga nga nneeyongera okubibajjukiza.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
Kubanga mmanyi nga nnaatera okuva mu mubiri guno, nga Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo bwe yantegeeza.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Kyenva nfuba ennyo okukola kyonna kye nsobola, ne bwe ndivaawo mube ng’ebyo byonna mubijjukira.
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.
Kubanga tetwagoberera ngero bugero ezaagunjibwa wabula twabategeeza ebyo bye twalabirako ddala, eby’amaanyi n’okukomawo kwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, era n’obukulu bwe.
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.”
Kubanga Katonda Kitaffe yamuwa ekitiibwa n’ettendo, eddoboozi bwe lyawulikika okuva mu ggulu mu kitiibwa ekingi ekimasamasa nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange omwagalwa gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Ffe bwe twali awamu naye ku lusozi olutukuvu, twawulirira ddala eddoboozi eryo eryava mu ggulu.
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,
Kyetuvudde tweyongera okukakasa ebyo bannabbi bye baategeeza, era bwe munaabigonderanga munaabanga mukoze bulungi. Kubanga biri ng’ettaala eyaka mu kizikiza okutuusa obudde lwe bukya, emunyeenye ey’enkya n’eryoka eyaka mu mitima gyammwe.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
Okusooka mukimanye nga buli bunnabbi obuli mu byawandiikibwa, tewali ayinza kubunnyonnyola ku bubwe yekka.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Kubanga bannabbi tebaayogeranga byabwe ku bwabwe, wabula baategeezanga ebyo Katonda bye yabalagiranga nga Mwoyo Mutukuvu bwe yabibawanga.
