1Simon 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:
1 Man Simoŋ Pieer, jaamu Yeesu Krist ak ndawam, maa leen di bind, yeen ñi Yàlla jagleel ngëm gu rafet ni nun, aju ci njubu sunu Yàlla ak Musalkat, Yeesu Krist.
2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2 Na leen Yàlla dollil yiw ak jàmm, jaar ci xam ko ak Yeesu sunu Boroom.
3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
3 Dooley Yàlla moo nu may lépp lu aju ci dund gu sax ak ragal Yàlla, jaarale ko ci xam gi nu ko xam, moom mi nu woo ci kaw ndamam ak dooleem.
4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
4 Noonu la nu dige ay dig yu rafet, te réy ba ëpp xel, ngir nu gëm leen, te Yàlla sol nu jikoom, nu mucc ci yàqute, gi bànneexu bakkan samp ci àddina si.
5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
5 Na loolu tax ngeen góor-góorlu, ba yokk ci seen ngëm njàmbaar, ci njàmbaar googu ngeen yokk ci xam-xam, yokk ci noot sa bopp.
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
6 Noot sa bopp googu, ngeen yokk ci muñ, yokk ci ragal Yàlla,
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
7 yokk ci sopp mbokk, yokk ci bëgg ñépp.
8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Ndaxte bu leen jiko yooyu soloo, ba sax ci yeen, dina tax seen xam Yeesu Krist Boroom bi am njeriñ te jur mbaax.
9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
9 Waaye ku ñàkk jiko yooyu, ay bëtam dañoo lëndëm ba gumba, te fàtte na, ni ko Yàlla fóotale bàkkaari démb.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
10 Kon nag samay mbokk, gannaaw Yàlla da leena tànn te woo leen, góor-góorluleen ci feddali ko ak seen kem-kàttan. Ndaxte su ngeen ko defee, dungeen jeng mukk.
11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
11 Te noonu dingeen tàbbi ak ndam ci nguur gu sax gu sunu Boroom, di sunu Musalkat Yeesu Krist.
12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
12 Wóor na ma ne xam ngeen loolu, ba sampu ci dëgg gi leen Yàlla jagleel, waaye fas naa yéene, may sax ci di leen ko fàttali.
13Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
13 Te jàpp naa ko, muy sama warugar, feek maa ngi noyyi, ma di leen fàttali loolu, ba yee leen.
14Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
14 Ndaxte xam naa ne, léegi ma jóge fi, ni ma ko Yeesu Krist Boroom bi leerale woon.
15Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
15 Te dinaa góor-góorlu, ngir sama gannaaw ngeen di fàttaliku li ma leen doon wax.
16For 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.
16 Bi nu leen yégalee dooley Yeesu Krist sunu Boroom ak ñëwam ci biir ndam, sukkandikuwunu woon ciy léeb yu sësul fenn, waaye danoo teewe ag màggam.
17For 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.
17 Ndaxte Yàlla Baay bi sol na ko teraanga ak ndam, te baatub Aji Màgg ju tedd ji jib na ne: Sama Doom a ngii, di sama Soppe; ci moom laa ame bànneex.
18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
18 Te nun dégg nanu baat boobu jóge asamaan, bi nu nekkee ak moom ca tund wu tedd wa.
19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
19 Noonu bir na ne, waxu yonent yi wér na, te war ngeen koo fonk; mi ngi mel ni làmp, buy leer ci bérab bu lëndëm, ba kera fajar di xar, te biddiiwub njël bi feq, leeral seeni xol.
20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
20 Waaye jëkkleena xam ne, amul jenn waxu yonent ci Mbind mi, ju balle ci xelu boppam.
21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
21 Ndaxte kenn ci yonent yi musula wax ci coobareg boppam, waaye, Xel mu Sell mi daa na xiir nit ñi, ñu yégle kàddug Yàlla.
