1Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
1Ko au Saimone Pita, ko e tamaioʻeiki mo e ʻaposetolo ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, kiate kinautolu kuo lavaʻi mo kimautolu ʻae tui mahuʻinga ko ia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻo hotau ʻOtua mo e Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi:
2Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord:
2Ke tupulekina kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e monūʻia ʻi he ʻilo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki,
3As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.
3ʻO fakatatau ki he foaki kiate kitautolu ʻe heʻene mālohi fakaʻotua ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki he moʻui mo e angafakaʻotua, ʻi he ʻilo kiate ia kuo ne uiuiʻi ʻakitautolu ki he hakeʻaki mo e māʻoniʻoni:
4By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
4ʻAia kuo foaki ai kiate kitautolu ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa ʻoku lahi ʻaupito mo mahuʻinga: koeʻuhi ke mou kau ai ʻi he anga ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻomou hao mei he kovi ʻoku ʻi māmani ʻi he holi kovi.
5And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
5Pea koeʻuhi ko ia, ke mou mātuʻaki fai lahi, ʻo taki hake hoʻomou tui ki he lototoʻa; pea ki he lototoʻa ʻae ʻilo;
6And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
6Pea ki he ʻilo ʻae faʻa taʻofi; pea ki he faʻa taʻofi ʻae faʻa kātaki; pea ki he faʻa kātaki ʻae angafakaʻotua;
7And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
7Pea ki he angafakaʻotua ʻae angalelei fakakāinga; pea ki he angalelei fakakāinga ʻae ʻofa.
8For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8He kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ngaahi meʻa ni, mo tupulekina, ʻe ʻikai ai te mou fakapikopiko pe taʻefua ʻi he ʻilo ki hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
9For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
9Ka ko ia ʻoku masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku kui ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mamata mamaʻo atu, pea kuo ngalo ʻiate ia hono fakamaʻa mei heʻene muʻaki angahala.
10Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
10Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ke ʻāsili ai hoʻomou fai feinga ke fakatuʻumaʻu homou ui mo homou fili: he kapau te mou fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou hinga:
11For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
11He ko ia ʻe tuku ai kiate kimoutolu ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻae hūʻanga ki he puleʻanga taʻengata ʻo hotau ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi.
12For which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed in the present truth.
12Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻeku fakamanatuʻi maʻuaipē ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni, ka ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ia, pea ʻoku mou tuʻumaʻu ʻi he moʻoni ni.
13But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
13Ka ʻoku ou pehē, ʻoku totonu, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi he fale fehikitaki ni, ke langaki mo fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu;
14Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
14ʻI heʻeku ʻilo, ʻe toe siʻi pea te u tukuange hoku fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko e fakahā mai kiate au ʻe hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
15And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things.
15Ka te u fai tōtōaki, koeʻuhi, ka hili ʻeku mate, kemou faʻa manatu maʻuaipē ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
16For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
16He naʻe ʻikai temau angimui ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa naʻe fakatupu ʻe he poto fakakākā, ʻi he ʻemau fakaʻilo kiate kimoutolu ʻae mālohi mo e hoko mai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ka ko e kau mamata ʻakimautolu ki hono nāunau.
17For he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
17He naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ongoongolelei mo e nāunau mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ʻi he hoko mai kiate ia ʻae leʻo ko ia mei he nāunau lelei lahi ʻaupito, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai.”
18And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
18Pea ko e leʻo ni naʻe haʻu mei he langi naʻa mau ongoʻi, ʻi heʻemau fakataha mo ia ʻi he moʻunga tapu.
19And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
19Pea ʻoku tau maʻu foki ʻae lea moʻoni lahi ʻoe kikite; ʻaia ko hoʻomou fai lelei ʻa hoʻomou tokanga ki ai, ʻo hangē ha maama ʻoku ulo ʻi he potu fakapoʻuli, kaeʻoua ke mafoa ʻae ata, pea hopo hake ʻae fetuʻuʻaho ʻi homou loto:
20Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
20ʻO tomuʻa ʻilo ʻa eni, ʻoku ʻikai ha kikite ʻi he tohitapu ʻoku tupu meiate ia pe ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
21For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.
21He ko e kikite ʻi muʻa naʻe ʻikai tupu mei he faʻiteliha ʻae tangata: ka naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hono ueʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
