2 Peter 1

1 ¹Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to dem wey God give faith wey precious like our own, through di correct-and-holy way of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ²Make grace and peace multiply give una through as una know our Papa and Jesus our Oga.

Dem Wey Share di Papa Nature

³Im God-power don give us everything wey we need for life and to serve God, through as we know am, di One wey call us by im glory and excellence. ⁴Through these things im don give us im promise dem wey precious and big well-well, so that through dem una fit share di God-nature, as una don escape di corruption wey dey for di world from bad desire. ⁵So, as una dey try with all una power, add goodness to una faith, and to goodness, add knowledge; ⁶to knowledge, add self-control; to self-control, add endurance; to endurance, add to serve God, ⁷to serve God, add broda-love; to broda-love, add love. ⁸If una get these things, and dem dey grow, dem go make sure say una no be useless or say una no dey bear fruit for as una dey know our Oga Jesus Christ. ⁹Anybody wey no get these things dey blind, im no fit see far, im don forget say dem don clean am comot from im old sins. ¹⁰So, my broda and sista dem, try hard to confirm say God don call una and choose una; do these things and una no go ever fall. ¹¹For this way, dem go open door well-well give una make una enter di kingdom wey no dey end of our Oga and Savior Jesus Christ.

¹²So I go dey always remind una about these things, even though una know dem and una stand strong for di truth wey una hold now. ¹³I feel say e correct make I dey wake una up with reminder as I still dey inside this tent, ^a a v13 Peter call im body 'tent' — house wey no go last, wey im go soon comot leave am (look 2 Corinthians 5:1–4). ¹⁴since I know say I go soon drop my tent for one side, as our Oga Jesus Christ don show me. ¹⁵I go also try hard so that una fit always remember these things after I don go.

¹⁶Because no be clever story wey dem cook up we follow tell una about di power and coming of our Oga Jesus Christ—na our own eye see im majesty.

¹⁷Im collect honor and glory from our Papa when one voice come to am from di Majestic Glory: “This na my Pikin, di one wey I love; I dey happy well-well with am.” ^b b v17 Na di Papa own words be this for di mountain — im dey happy with im Pikin and im call am beloved, na di same voice wey Peter, James, and John hear for di transfiguration.

¹⁸We ourselves hear this voice come from heaven, because we dey with am for di holy mountain.

¹⁹We also get di prophetic word wey dem make sure pass—una dey do well to pay attention to am, like lamp wey dey shine for dark place, until day break and di morning star rise inside una heart. ²⁰Pass all, una must understand say no prophecy for Scripture come from person im own interpretation. ²¹No prophecy ever come by human will, but na men talk from our Papa, as the Holy Spirit dey carry dem along.
