1Nekk Semɛun Buṭrus, d aqeddac, d amceggeɛ n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, i wid akk yesɛan liman am nukni, s lḥeqq n Sidi Ṛebbi Illu-nneɣ akk-d umsellek nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.
1Simon Peter, bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have received like precious faith with us through [the] righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2Ṛṛeḥma ț-țalwit a wen-d tețțunefkent s tugeț, s tmusni n Sidi Ṛebbi akk-d Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa.
2Grace and peace be multiplied to you in [the] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3Tazmert n Sidi Ṛebbi tefka yaɣ-ed ayen akk ilaqen i tudert d ṭṭaɛa ; yis i ɣ-d-isbeggen win akken i ɣ-ixtaṛen s ṛṛeḥma-s ț-țmanegt-is.
3As his divine power has given to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us by glory and virtue,
4Yis-sent daɣen i ɣ-d-tețțunefkent lemɛahdat yesɛan azal d ameqqran, iwakken s tmanegt-agi-ines akk-d ṛṛeḥma-s, aț-țekkim di lecɣal n Sidi Ṛebbi, aț-țbeɛdem ɣef ṭṭmeɛ ițțawin ɣer lefsad n ddunit.
4through which he has given to us the greatest and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of [the] divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5Ɣef ayagi, ǧehdet, ẓewṛet iwakken aț-țernum i liman-nwen tikli yeṣfan, i tikli yeṣfan tamusni ;
5But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
6i tmusni rnut ḥekmet deg yiman nwen, ṣebṛet, i ṣṣbeṛ rnut ṭṭaɛa,
6in knowledge temperance, in temperance endurance, in endurance godliness,
7i ṭṭaɛa tagmaț, i tegmaț leḥmala.
7in godliness brotherly love, in brotherly love love:
8Ma yella wannect-agi deg-wen s tugeț, ur tețțilim ara d imeɛdazen, yerna ur tețɣimim ara mbla tamusni n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.
8for these things existing and abounding in you make [you] to be neither idle nor unfruitful as regards the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9Ma d win ixuṣṣen deg wannect-agi, am uderɣal isferfuden, ur ițwali ara, ițțu akk ddnubat-is iɛeddan i s-isemmeḥ Sidi Ṛebbi.
9for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins.
10Ay atmaten, ẓewṛet, sǧehdet iman-nwen deg wannect-agi imi d Sidi Ṛebbi i wen-d-issawlen, d nețța i kkun-ixtaṛen. Ma txedmem ayagi, ur tɣellim ara.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;
11S wakka daɣen ara wen-teldi tewwurt iwakken aț-țkecmem ɣer tgeldit ițdumun n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, amsellek-nneɣ.
11for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you.
12A wen-d-țɛawadeɣ dayem annect-agi meṛṛa ɣas akken tesnem tideț-agi yerna teṭṭfem deg-s.
12Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing [them] and established in the present truth.
13Skud mazal-iyi ddreɣ, ilaq-iyi a kkun-nhuɣ iwakken ur tɣeflem ara.
13But I account it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance,
14Axaṭer ẓriɣ belli qṛib ad ṛuḥeɣ si ddunit-agi, am akken i yi-d-ixebbeṛ Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ ;
14knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily [to take place], as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me;
15daymi i xeddmeɣ ayen iwumi zemreɣ iwakken ɣas mmuteɣ, a d-temmektim ayen akk i wen slemdeɣ.
15but I will use diligence, that after my departure ye should have also, at any time, [in your power] to call to mind these things.
16Mačči ț-țimucuha i wen-d newwi mi i wen-d-neḥka ɣef tezmert n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ ț-țuɣalin-is, meɛna s wallen-nneɣ i nwala tamanegt-is.
16For we have not made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly imagined fables, but having been eyewitnesses of *his* majesty.
17Nella yid-es asm' akken i s-d isbeggen Baba Ṛebbi ccan ț-țezmert, asm' akken i d-inṭeq Bab n tmanegt s imeslayen-agi : Wagi d Mmi eɛzizen deg-s i gella lfeṛḥ-iw.
17For he received from God [the] Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom *I* have found my delight;
18Sṣut-agi i d-ikkan seg igenni, nesla-yas s yiman-nneɣ mi nella yid-es deg udrar iqedsen,
18and this voice *we* heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
19yerna numen s wayen i ɣ-d xebbṛen lenbiya di tira iqedsen belli ț-țideț ; nenha-kkun aț-țerrem ddehn nwen ɣuṛ-sent, axaṭer ț-țaftilt iceɛlen di ṭṭlam alamma yuli wass, alamma ifeǧǧeǧ yitri n ṣṣbeḥ deg ulawen nwen.
19And we have the prophetic word [made] surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until [the] day dawn and [the] morning star arise in your hearts;
20Uqbel kullec, ẓret belli imeslayen akk i d-nnan lenbiya, yuran di tektabt iqedsen, ur d-kkin ara s ɣuṛ-sen ;
20knowing this first, that [the scope of] no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation,
21axaṭeṛ ulac ayen i d-xebbṛen s tmusni-nsen nutni, meɛna s tezmert n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen i d-nnan imeslayen i d-ikkan s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi.
21for prophecy was not ever uttered by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of [the] Holy Spirit.
