¹Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹Anigoo ah Simoon Butros, oo addoon iyo rasuulba u ah Ciise Masiix, waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa kuwa helay iimaan qaali ah oo keenna la mid ah, oo ku helay xaqnimada Ilaaheenna iyo Badbaadiyeheenna Ciise Masiix.

²Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement of God and of Jesus our Lord!

²Nimco iyo nabadu ha idinku bateen xagga aqoonta Ilaah iyo Rabbigeenna Ciise.

³As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness,

³Maxaa yeelay, Ilaah xooggiisu wuxuu ina siiyey wax kasta oo ku saabsan nolosha iyo cibaadadaba, oo wuxuu inagu siiyey aqoonta kan inoogu yeedhay ammaantiisa iyo wanaaggiisa.

⁴through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.

⁴Wuxuu kuwaas inagu siiyey ballamadiisa qaaliga ah oo aad iyo aad u waaweyn, inaad kuwaas ku noqotaan kuwo ka qayb qaata dabiicadda Ilaah, idinkoo ka baxsaday kharribaadda dunida ku jirta ee ku timid damaca jidhka.

⁵And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,

⁵Sababtaas daraaddeed idinkuna aad u dadaala, oo rumaysadkiinna waxaad ku dartaan wanaag, wanaaggiinnana aqoon,

⁶and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,

⁶aqoontiinnana iscelin, iscelintiinnana dulqaadasho, dulqaadashadiinnana cibaado,

⁷and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;

⁷cibaadadiinnana kalgacayl walaalnimo, kalgacaylkiinna walaalnimona jacayl.

⁸for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁸Haddii aad waxyaalahaas leedihiin oo ay idinku badan yihiin, iyagu waxay idinka dhigayaan kuwo aan cajisiin ama midhalaawayaal ahayn xagga aqoonta Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix.

⁹for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;

⁹Waayo, kii waxyaalahaasu ka maqan yihiin wuu indha la' yahay oo arag gaaban yahay, oo wuxuu illoobay in dembiyadiisii hore laga safeeyey.

¹⁰wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,

¹⁰Sidaas daraaddeed, walaalayaalow, aad ugu dadaala inaad xaqiijisaan in laydiin yeedhay oo laydin doortay, waayo, haddii aad waxyaalahaas samaysaan, weligiin ma turunturoon doontaan.

¹¹for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹¹Saas daraaddeed aad baa laydiin siin doonaa gelidda boqortooyada daa'imiska ah oo Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix oo Badbaadiyeheenna ah.

¹²Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth,

¹²Sidaas daraaddeed anigu had iyo goorba diyaar baan u ahaan doonaa inaan waxyaalahan idin xusuusiyo, in kastoo weliba aad taqaaniin oo laydinku adkeeyey runta aad haysataan.

¹³and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding [you],

¹³Waxaa ila qumman in in alla intii aan jidhkan ku jiro aan xusuusin idinku guubaabiyo.

¹⁴having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,

¹⁴Waayo, waan ogahay inay dhaqso u imanayso goortii aan jidhkan ka tegi lahaa siduu Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix i ogeysiiyey.

¹⁵and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.

¹⁵Waxaan ku dadaali doonaa inaad tegiddayda dabadeed mar kastaba awooddaan inaad waxyaalahan xusuusataan.

¹⁶For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty —

¹⁶Annagu ma aannu raacin sheekooyin khiyaano lagu hindisay, markii aannu idin ogeysiinnay xoogga iyo imaatinka Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix, laakiinse waxaannu ahayn markhaatiyaal indhaha ku arkay weynaantiisa.

¹⁷for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: `This is My Son — the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;`

¹⁷Waayo, isagu wuxuu xagga Ilaaha Aabbaha ah ka helay maamuus iyo ammaan markii cod sidaas ahu isaga uga yimid xagga ammaanta aad u weyn ee yidhi, Kanu waa Wiilkayga aan jeclahay oo aan ku faraxsanahay.

¹⁸and this voice we — we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount.

¹⁸Oo codkaas aannu maqalnay wuxuu ka yimid samada markii aannu buurta quduuska ah isaga la joognay.

¹⁹And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise — in your hearts;

¹⁹Oo waxaynu haysannaa hadalka nebiyadii sii sheegeen, oo aad loo sii xaqiijiyey, oo waad ku wanaagsan tihiin inaad u fiirsataan hadalkaas sida laambad meel gudcur ah ka ifaysa, ilaa waagu beryayo oo xiddigta waaberi qalbigiinna ka soo baxdo,

²⁰this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,

²⁰idinkoo taas horta garanaya in wixii nebiyadii sii sheegeen oo la qoray ayan lahayn micnayn gooni ah.Waayo, wixii nebiyadii sii sheegeen weligood kuma ay iman dadka doonistiisa, laakiinse dad Ruuxa Quduuska ahu waday ayaa xagga Ilaah kaga hadlay.

²¹for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.

²¹Waayo, wixii nebiyadii sii sheegeen weligood kuma ay iman dadka doonistiisa, laakiinse dad Ruuxa Quduuska ahu waday ayaa xagga Ilaah kaga hadlay.
