II Peter 1

Simona Petera, mpanompo sy Apostolin'i Jesosy Kristy, mamangy izay efa nahazo finoana soa tahaka ny anay amin'ny fahamarinan'i Jesosy Kristy, Andriamanitsika sy Mpamonjy:

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana amin'ny fahalalana tsara an'Andriamanitra sy Jesosy Tompontsika.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

Efa nomen'ny herin'Andriamanitra ho antsika ny zavatra rehetra momba ny fiainana sy ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra amin'ny fahalalana Ilay niantso antsika tamin'ny voninahiny sy ny fahatsarany;

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

ary izany no nahatanterahany amintsika ireo teny fikasana sady soa no lehibe indrindra, mba ho tonga mpiray amin'ny fomban'Andriamanitra amin'izany ianareo, rehefa afa-nandositra ny fahalotoana izay eo amin'izao tontolo izao noho ny filàna;

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

koa noho izany dia manaova izay zotom-po rehetra kosa ianareo, ka amin'ny finoanareo dia manehoa fahatanjahan-tsaina, ary amin'ny fahatanjahan-tsainareo dia fahalalana,

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

ary amin'ny fahalalanareo dia fahononam-po, ary amin'ny fahononam-ponareo dia faharetana, ary amin'ny faharetanareo dia toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra,

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

ary amin'ny toe-panahinareo araka an'Andriamanitra dia fitiavana ny rahalahy, ary amin'ny fitiavanareo ny rahalahy dia fitiavana ny olona rehetra.

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

Fa raha anananareo izany zavatra izany, sady anananareo betsaka, dia tsy avelan'izany ho malaina na tsy hahavokatra ianareo amin'ny fahalalana tsara an'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Fa izay tsy manana izany zavatra izany kosa dia toa jamba ka tsy mahajery lavitra, sady nanadino ny nanadiovana azy tamin'ny fahotany voalohany izy.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

Ary amin'izany dia mazotoa kokoa, ry rahalahy, hampitoetra ny fiantsoana sy ny fifidianana anareo; fa raha manao izany zavatra izany ianareo, dia tsy ho tafintohina akory mandrakizay;

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

fa toy izany no hanomezana malalaka ho anareo ny fidirana ho any amin'ny fanjakana mandrakizay, izay an'i Jesosy Kristy, Tompontsika sy Mpamonjy antsika.

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Koa hazoto mandrakariva hampahatsiaro anareo ny amin'izany zavatra izany aho, na dia efa fantatrareo aza, ka efa naorina tsara amin'ny fahamarinana izay efa eo aminareo.

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

Fa raha mbola eto amin'ity trano-lay ity aho, dia ataoko fa mety ny hampifoha anareo amin'ny fampahatsiarovana anareo,

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

satria fantatro fa ho avy tampoka ny hanesorana ny trano-laiko, dia toy ny nasehon'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika tamiko koa.

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

Ary dia hataoko izay zakako mba hisy hahatsiarovanareo izany zavatra izany mandrakariva, rehefa maty aho.

Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

Fa tsy nanaraka izay anganongano noforonin'ny fahafetsen'ny saina izahay, raha nampahafantatra anareo ny hery sy ny fihavian'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika; fa efa hitan'ny masonay ny fiandrianany.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Fa nahazo laza amam-boninahitra tamin'Andriamanitra Ray Izy, raha tonga teo aminy avy tamin'ny voninahitra lehibe indrindra ilay feo nanao hoe: "Ity no Zanako malalako izay sitrako" (Mat. 17.5).

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Ary renay io feo avy tany an-danitra io, raha niara-nipetraka taminy tany an-tendrombohitra masina izahay.

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

Ary manana ny teny faminaniana atao mafy orina kokoa isika; koa raha mandinika izany ianareo, dia manao tsara, fa toy ny jiro mahazava ao amin'ny fitoerana maizimaizina izany, mandra-pahazavan'ny andro, ka miposaka ao am-ponareo ny fitarik'andro;

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

fa fantatrareo voalohany indrindra fa ny famoahan-kevitry ny faminaniana ao amin'ny Soratra Masina dia tsy efan'ny fisainan'ny olona fotsiny ihany;

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

fa tsy nisy faminaniana avy tamin'ny sitrapon'ny olona tany aloha rehetra; fa avy tamin'Andriamanitra no nitenenan'ny olona araka izay nitondran'ny Fanahy Masina azy.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
