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.
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:
2 Na leen Yàlla dollil yiw ak jàmm, jaar ci xam ko ak Yeesu sunu Boroom.
2Grace and peace be multiplied to you in [the] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
5But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
6 Noot sa bopp googu, ngeen yokk ci muñ, yokk ci ragal Yàlla,
6in knowledge temperance, in temperance endurance, in endurance godliness,
7 yokk ci sopp mbokk, yokk ci bëgg ñépp.
7in godliness brotherly love, in brotherly love love:
8 Ndaxte bu leen jiko yooyu soloo, ba sax ci yeen, dina tax seen xam Yeesu Krist Boroom bi am njeriñ te jur mbaax.
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;
9 Waaye ku ñàkk jiko yooyu, ay bëtam dañoo lëndëm ba gumba, te fàtte na, ni ko Yàlla fóotale bàkkaari démb.
9for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins.
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.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;
11 Te noonu dingeen tàbbi ak ndam ci nguur gu sax gu sunu Boroom, di sunu Musalkat Yeesu Krist.
11for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you.
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.
12Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing [them] and established in the present truth.
13 Te jàpp naa ko, muy sama warugar, feek maa ngi noyyi, ma di leen fàttali loolu, ba yee leen.
13But I account it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance,
14 Ndaxte xam naa ne, léegi ma jóge fi, ni ma ko Yeesu Krist Boroom bi leerale woon.
14knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily [to take place], as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me;
15 Te dinaa góor-góorlu, ngir sama gannaaw ngeen di fàttaliku li ma leen doon wax.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
18 Te nun dégg nanu baat boobu jóge asamaan, bi nu nekkee ak moom ca tund wu tedd wa.
18and this voice *we* heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
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.
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;
20 Waaye jëkkleena xam ne, amul jenn waxu yonent ci Mbind mi, ju balle ci xelu boppam.
20knowing this first, that [the scope of] no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation,
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.
21for prophecy was not ever uttered by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of [the] Holy Spirit.
