1 From Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
To everyone who shares with us in the privilege of believing that our God and Savior Jesus Christ will do what is just and fair.
2 I pray that God will be kind to you and will let you live in perfect peace! May you keep learning more and more about God and our Lord Jesus.
Living as the Lord's Followers
3 We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God's own power, when we learned he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness. 4 God made great and marvelous promises, so his nature would become part of us. Then we could escape our evil desires and the corrupt influences of this world.
5 Do your best to improve your faith by adding goodness, understanding, 6 self-control, patience, devotion to God, 7 concern for others, and love. 8 If you keep growing in this way, it will show that what you know about our Lord Jesus Christ has made your lives useful and meaningful. 9 But if you don't grow, you are like someone who is nearsighted or blind, and you have forgotten that your past sins are forgiven.
10 My friends, you must do all you can to show God has really chosen and selected you. If you keep on doing this, you won't stumble and fall. 11 Then our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will give you a glorious welcome into his kingdom that will last forever.
12 You are holding firmly to the truth you were given. But I am still going to remind you of these things. 13 In fact, I think I should keep on reminding you until I leave this body. 14 And our Lord Jesus Christ has already told me that I will soon leave it behind. 15 This is why I am doing my best to make sure that each of you remembers all of this after I am gone.
The Message about the Glory of Christ
16 When we told you about the power and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not telling clever stories someone had made up. But with our own eyes we saw his true greatness. 17 God, our great and wonderful Father, truly honored him by saying, “This is my own dear Son, and I am pleased with him.” 18 We were there with Jesus on the holy mountain and heard this voice speak from heaven.
19 All of this makes us even more certain that what the prophets said is true. So you should pay close attention to their message, as you would to a lamp shining in some dark place. You must keep on paying attention until daylight comes and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 But you need to realize that no one alone can understand any of the prophecies in the Scriptures. 21 The prophets did not think these things up on their own, but they were guided by the Spirit of God.

1 Seimaņs Pīters Jezus Kristus Apostols un kolps, tim, kas caur attaisnōšonu nu myusu Dīva un Pesteitōja Jezus Kristus ir sajāmuši tū pošu dōrgū ticeibu, kai mes.
2 Žēlesteiba jums un mīrs lai ir pastōveigi pōrpiļneibā caur Dīva un myusu Kunga Jezus (Kristus) pazeišonu.
Ticeibā jōir uzticeigim.
3 Vysu, kas padīveigai dzeivei pīkreit, Jō dīviškais spāks mums dōvynōja caur tū, ka Jys mums deve Tō pazeišonu, kas myusus ir paaicynōjis caur sovu gūdu un spāku. 4 Caur tū mums ir dūtas vysvērteigōkōs un vyslelōkōs apsūleišonas, lai caur tom jyus nu samaitojūšom pasauļa izprīcom atsaturātu un byutu dīviškōs dobas daleibnīki. 5 Tōpēc pīlīcit vysas pyules un parōdit sovā ticeibā darbeibu, darbeibā saprasšonu, 6 saprasšonā attureibu, attureibā pacīteibu, pacīteibā padīveibu, 7 padīveibā brōliskū mīlesteibu, brōliskajā mīlesteibā (Dīva) mīlesteibu. 8 Jo šytī tykumi pi jums ir un arvīnu pīaug, tad napametit jūs bezdarbeigus un bez auglim myusu Kunga Jezus Kristus pazeišonā. 9 Un kam šytūs tykumu nava, tys ir tyvredzeigs un okls, un ir aizmērsis, ka nu ogrōkajim grākim jys ir nūteireits. 10 Tōpēc, brōli, ryupejitēs veļ vairōk, lai sovu paaicynōjumu un izlaseišonu nūdrūšynōtu (caur lobim dorbim); un jo jyus tū dareisit, tad jyus nikod napaklupsit, 11 bet gon jums byus plaši atvārta īeja myusu Kunga un Pesteitōja Jezus Kristus vaļsteibā.
12 Tōpēc es jyusus vīnmār grybu pamūdynōt, lai gon jyus zynot un par šytū patīseibu asot stypri pōrlīcynōti. 13 Koleidz es šytamā nūmetnē dzeivoju, muns pīnōkums ir jyusus pamūdynōt un pōrsorgōt. 14 Es zynu, ka munu nūmetni jau ōtri nūjauks, kai man atklōja myusu Kungs Jezus Kristus. 15 Bet es centeigi grybu par tū pasaryupēt, ka pēc munas aizīšonas jyus šytōs lītas paturātu atmiņā.
16 Na pēc gudri izdūmōtom pōsokom ejūt, mes jums sludynōjom myusu Kunga Jezus Kristus varu un atnōkšonu, bet gon mēs tū darejom kai jō majestates oculīcinīki. 17 Jys sajēme nu Dīva Tāva gūdu un slavu un uz Jū atsateic augstōs majestates saucīņs: Šytys ir muns nūmīļōtais dāls, Jys man labpateik. (Jō klausot). 18 Šytū saucīni mes skaidri dzērdējom nu dabasim, kad mes ar Jū bejom uz svātō kolna.
19 Tōpēc arī pravīša vōrds mums ir naapšaubams. Jyus dorat labi, jo jyus pi tō turitēs, kai pi luktura, kurs tymsumā mat storus, koleidz izauss dīna un iyusu sirdīs uzlēks reita zvaigzne.
20 Esit par tū apzineigi, ka Rokstu pravītōjums nav atkareigs nu poša izpēteišonas, 21 jo nivīns pravītōjums nav cēlīs nu cylvāka grybas, bet gon svātī Dīva cylvāki runōja Svātō Gora pamūdynōti.
