< 2 Petulo 2 >
1 Kalakala ko ŵapali ŵakulondola ŵa unami pasikati ja ŵandu, iyoyo peyo chapagwe ŵakwiganya ŵa unami pasikati jenu. Nombewo chajinjisye kwa kalamuka majiganyo ga unami gagakwika nawo uwonasi ni kwakana Ambuje ŵaŵammombwele. Ni kwa litala lyo chakuichisye konasika kwawo kwa chitema.
Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Sooni ŵajinji chagakuye matala gao gangalumbana gagakwichisya soni, ni kwa ligongo lya ŵelewo, litala lya usyene chilitukanikwe.
Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.
3 Ni kwa misese jao jangalumbana chalipatile mbiya kutyochela kukwenu kwa litala lya kunsalila ngano syapanganyisye achinsyene. Nambo Akunnungu ŵamasile kulamula chitandile kalakala kuti chiŵalamule. Nombewo ali meeso pe kuti ŵajonanje.
In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.
4 Akunnungu nganatenda chanasa kwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani paŵatesile sambi, nambo ŵajasile ku jehanamu. Kweleko ataŵikwe minyolo mu chipi totoloo, achilindililaga lyuŵa lya kulamulikwa. (Tartaroō )
For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; (Tartaroō )
5 Iyoyopeyo Akunnungu nganachitendela chanasa chilambo cha kalakala, pelepo pajanyele ula jijaichenacho chikumba meesi chichaunichile pachilambo chose cha ŵandu ŵangakwalamba Akunnungu. Nambo ŵankulupwisye che Nuhu juŵaliji nkulalichila indu yambone iŵasakaga Akunnungu pamo ni ŵandu ŵane saba.
if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight;
6 Ni Akunnungu ŵajilamwile misi ja ku Sodoma ni ku Gomola, ŵajijonasile kwa mooto. Ni kwa litala lyo alosisye chitagu cha indu ichitendekwe kwa ŵandu ŵangakwalamba Akunnungu.
if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly;
7 Ŵankulupwisye che Lutu, mundu jwambone, juŵalasile nnope muntima kwa utame wa wamba wa ŵandu ŵaŵagakanile Malajisyo.
and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
8 Pakuŵa che Lutu mundu jwambone jo ŵatemi pasikati jao, ŵaiweni ni kwipikana indu yangalumbana iŵatendaga ŵandu wo ni kila lyuŵa ntima wao waliji nkulagaswa kwannope.
(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—
9 Nipele, Ambuje akumanyilila yakuti pakwakulupusya nkulinjikwa ŵandu ŵakwalamba Akunnungu, ni yakuti pakwaŵika ŵa sambi nkulaga mpaka lyuŵa lya kulamulikwa kwawo.
if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
10 Nambo nnopennope ŵelewo ŵakujikuya tama jangalumbana ja chiilu ni kuunyelusya ukulu wa Akunnungu. Ŵakwiganya ŵa unami ŵa ali ŵakukanila ni ŵakulifuna, akuitukana yepanganyikwe ya kwinani yaili ni ukulu.
Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.
11 Nambo achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ali ni ukombole ni machili kwapunda ŵakwiganya ŵa unami, ngakwaŵechetela atamuno kwatukana ŵele ŵakwiganya ŵa unami paujo pa Ambuje.
Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
12 Nambo ŵandu ŵa akuchitukana chachilichose changakuchimanyilila. Ali mpela inyama yangali lunda, yaikuŵelekwa kuti ikamulikwe ni kusinjikwa. Ni ŵele ŵandu wo chajonanjikwe mpela inyama yo.
These men are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be captured and destroyed. They blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed.
13 Chalipwe malagasyo kwa ligongo lya malagasyo gagatesile. Ŵanyawo akusengwa kwa kupanganya indu yaili yose yaikujisengwasya misese ja chiilu musimusi pe. Ŵandu wo akwete wende wakusakala ni kwichisya soni paakuchingangana nomwe mu chindimba cha yakulya akuno ali nkugasengwela matala gao ga kulambusya.
The harm they will suffer is the wages of their wickedness. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deception as they feast with you.
14 Meeso gao gamagumbale igwagwa, ngaakuleka kutenda sambi ng'oo. Ŵakwanyenga ŵandu ŵangakwima chilimbile mu itanje. Mitima jao jisyoŵelele kusaka mbiya. Akunnungu ŵalwesisye ŵele ŵandu.
Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.
15 Alesile litala lyegoloche, asochele ni kulikuya litala lya Balaamu, mwana ju che Beoli juŵanonyelwe nnope mbiya, syakapegwile kwa kutenda yangalumbana,
They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
16 nambo ŵakalipilwe kwa ligongo lya ungalumbana wakwe. Nipele mbunda jingajikuŵecheta, jaŵechete mpela mundu, ni kugasiŵila masoka ga jwakulondola jo.
But he was rebuked for his transgression by a donkey, otherwise without speech, that spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
17 Ŵele ŵandu ali mpela isima yangali meesi ni mpela maunde gamapujikwe ni chimbunga. Akunnungu ŵaŵichile liuto lya kutama papali ni chipi totoloo. ()
These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
18 Pakuŵa ŵakwiganya ŵa unami wo, akuŵecheta maloŵe ga kulikanganichila ni gangalimate ni kwa misese jao jangalumbana, akwatanjisya ŵandu ŵatandite kuliŵambasya kutyochela mwa ŵandu ŵakutama mu sambi.
With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
19 Akwapa ŵandu ŵane chilanga chakuti chalecheleswe namuno achinsyene wo ali achikapolo ŵa indu yaikukombola kuujonanga umi wao. Pakuŵa mundu akuŵa kapolo mu chachili chose chakukamulwa nacho.
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
20 Ŵandu ŵamasile kukulupuka mu kusocheya kwa chilambo kwa kwamanyilila Ambuje ni Nkulupusyo Che Yesu Kilisito, atanjilaga ni kulepela ni sambi, ŵandu wo chaŵe ŵangalumbana kwannope kupunda iŵaliji kundanda.
If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.
21 Pakuŵa ikaliji mmbaya kwa ŵanyawo iŵaga ngakanalimanyilile litala lyambone paujo pa Akunnungu, kupunda kulimanyilila, nipele kulileka ni kulipotesya lilajisyo lyaliswela lyapegwilwe.
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.
22 Nambo iwoneche kukwao malinga ni chitagu cha usyenesyene chati, “Mbwa aujilile yaalukwile nsyene,” ni “Liguluŵe lyejoje likuuja kugalagata pa matope.” Ni yaili kukwawo sambano.
Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”
