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:
1Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
2Ke tupulekina kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e monūʻia ʻi he ʻilo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki,
2Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
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:
3seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,
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.
4by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5Pea koeʻuhi ko ia, ke mou mātuʻaki fai lahi, ʻo taki hake hoʻomou tui ki he lototoʻa; pea ki he lototoʻa ʻae ʻilo;
5Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6Pea ki he ʻilo ʻae faʻa taʻofi; pea ki he faʻa taʻofi ʻae faʻa kātaki; pea ki he faʻa kātaki ʻae angafakaʻotua;
6and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
7Pea ki he angafakaʻotua ʻae angalelei fakakāinga; pea ki he angalelei fakakāinga ʻae ʻofa.
7and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
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.
8For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
9For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
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:
10Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
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.
11For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
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.
12Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.
13Ka ʻoku ou pehē, ʻoku totonu, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi he fale fehikitaki ni, ke langaki mo fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu;
13I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
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.
14knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15Ka te u fai tōtōaki, koeʻuhi, ka hili ʻeku mate, kemou faʻa manatu maʻuaipē ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
15Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
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.
16For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
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.”
17For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
18Pea ko e leʻo ni naʻe haʻu mei he langi naʻa mau ongoʻi, ʻi heʻemau fakataha mo ia ʻi he moʻunga tapu.
18We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
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:
19We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
20ʻO tomuʻa ʻilo ʻa eni, ʻoku ʻikai ha kikite ʻi he tohitapu ʻoku tupu meiate ia pe ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
20knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
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.
21For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
