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:
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Simone Petere, motlhanka le morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete. Lo ya kwa go: botlhe ba ba nang le tumelo e e tshwanang le ya rona. Tumelo e ke buang ka yone ke ya mofuta o Jesu Keresete Modimo le Mmoloki wa rona o e re nayang. E ntle jang e bile o tshiamo jang go naya mongwe le mongwe wa rona tumelo e, e e tshwanang.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
A o batla boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa Modimo thata le kagiso? Jalo ithute go mo itse botoka thata.
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,
Gonne fa o mo itse thata, o tlaa go naya ka nonofo ya gagwe, sengwe le sengwe se o se batlang go tshela botshelo jwa boammaaruri: O tlhakanela le rona le eleng kgalalelo le tshiamo ya gagwe.
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.
Mme ka yone fela nonofo e kgolo eo, o re neile khumo le masego a a hakgamatsang a o a solofeditseng, jaaka tsholofetso ya go re boloka mo dikeletsong le mo boleong jo bo re dikaganyeditseng, le go re naya mokgwa wa gagwe.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
Mme go nna le dimpho tse, lo tlhoka mo gogolo go feta tumelo; lo tshwanetse gape go dira thata go nna tshiamo, le fa go sa lekana. Gonne lo tshwanetse go ithuta go itse Modimo thata le go bona se o batlang lo se dira.
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
Gape, ithuteng go beela dikeletso tsa lona fa thoko gore lo tle lo nne pelotelele le tshiamo, ka boitumelo lo letla Modimo go tsamaya le lona.
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
Se se tlaa dira gore kgato e e latelang e kgonege, e e leng ya lona go itumelela batho ba bangwe le go ba rata, mme morago lo tlaa gola mo go ba rateng thata.
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.
Fa lo ntse lo tsweletse sentle mo tseleng e, lo tlaa nonofa mo moweng lo bo lo nna le maungo le tiriso mo go Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Mme mongwe yo o palelwang ke go sala mekgwa e ya tumelo morago, ke sefofu, ebile ga a bone sentle, mme o lebetse gore Modimo o mo golotse mo botshelong jo bogologolo jwa sebe le gore jaanong o ka tshela botshelo jo bo tiileng, botshelo jo bo siametseng Morena.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Jalo bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, dirang thata go supa tota gore lommogo le ba Modimo o ba biditseng le ba o ba tlhophileng, mme ga lo kitla lo kgotswa kgotsa lo wa.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Mme Modimo o tlaa lo bulela dikgoro tsa legodimo go tsena mo Bogosing jo bo sa khutleng jwa Morena le mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete. (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.
Ke rulaganyetsa go nna ke lo gakolola dilo tse ka metlha le fa lo setse lo di itse ebile tota lo tsamaya sentle!
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
Mme Morena Jesu Keresete o mpontshitse gore malatsi a me mo lefatsheng a badilwe, ke gaufi le go swa.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
Fela fa ke santse ke le fa ke ikaelela go nna ke lo romelela dikgakololo tse,
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
ke solofela go di gatelela sentle mo go lona gore lo tle lo di gakologelwe ka lobaka lo loleele fa ke sena go tloga.
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.
Gonne re ne re sa lo bolelele dinaane fa re lo tlhalosetsa nonofo ya Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete le go tla ga gagwe gape. Ka matlho a me ke bonye phatsimo e kgolo le kgalalelo ya gagwe!
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.”
Ke ne ke le gone mo thabeng e e boitshepo fa a phatshima ka tlotlo e o e neilweng ke Modimo Rraagwe;
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
ke utlwile lentswe leo le le galalelang la Bogosi le le neng le tswa legodimong, le re, “Yo ke Morwaake yo o rategang thata; ke itumela thata ka ene.”
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,
Jalo re bonye ebile re tlhomamisitse gore se Baporofiti ba se buileng se diragetse. Lo tlaa bo lo dira sentle go tlhokomela sengwe le sengwe se ba se kwadileng, gonne jaaka lesedi le phatshima mo felong fa go lefifi, mafoko a bone a re thusa go tlhaloganya dilo di le dintsi tse gongwe di ka bong di fifetse ebile di le thata. Mme fa lo ela tlhoko boammaaruri jo bo hakgamatsang jwa mafoko a baporofiti, jalo lesedi le tlaa phatsima mo meweng ya lona mme Keresete Naledi ya moso o tlaa phatsima mo dipelong tsa lona.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
Gonne ga go na polelelo-pele epe e e kwadilweng mo Lokwalong e e ikakanyeditsweng ke moporofiti ka bo ene. E ne e le ka Mowa O O Boitshepo o o neng o le mo bathong ba ba ratang Modimo o o ba neetseng molaetsa wa boammaruri o o tswang kwa Modimong.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
