< 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.
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be among you lying teachers, who will introduce divisions of perdition, and they will deny him who bought them, the Lord, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Sooni ŵajinji chagakuye matala gao gangalumbana gagakwichisya soni, ni kwa ligongo lya ŵelewo, litala lya usyene chilitukanikwe.
And many persons will follow their indulgences; through such persons, the way of truth will be blasphemed.
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.
And in avarice, they will negotiate about you with false words. Their judgment, in the near future, is not delayed, and their perdition 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 God did not spare those Angels who sinned, but instead delivered them, as if dragged down by infernal ropes, into the torments of the underworld, to be reserved unto 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.
And he did not spare the original world, but he preserved the eighth one, Noah, the herald of justice, bringing the flood upon the world of the impious.
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.
And he reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemning them to be overthrown, setting them as an example to anyone who might act impiously.
7 Ŵankulupwisye che Lutu, mundu jwambone, juŵalasile nnope muntima kwa utame wa wamba wa ŵandu ŵaŵagakanile Malajisyo.
And he rescued a just man, Lot, who was oppressed by the unjust and lewd behavior of the wicked.
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 in seeing and in hearing, he was just, though he lived with those who, from day to day, crucified the just soul with works of iniquity.
9 Nipele, Ambuje akumanyilila yakuti pakwakulupusya nkulinjikwa ŵandu ŵakwalamba Akunnungu, ni yakuti pakwaŵika ŵa sambi nkulaga mpaka lyuŵa lya kulamulikwa kwawo.
Thus, the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trials, and how to reserve the iniquitous for torments 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.
even more so, those who walk after the flesh in unclean desires, and who despise proper authority. Boldly pleasing themselves, they do not dread to introduce divisions by blaspheming;
11 Nambo achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ali ni ukombole ni machili kwapunda ŵakwiganya ŵa unami, ngakwaŵechetela atamuno kwatukana ŵele ŵakwiganya ŵa unami paujo pa Ambuje.
whereas the Angels, who are greater in strength and virtue, did not bring against themselves such a deplorable judgment.
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.
Yet truly, these others, like irrational beasts, naturally fall into traps and into ruin by blaspheming whatever they do not understand, and so they shall perish in their corruption,
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.
receiving the reward of injustice, the fruition of valuing the delights of the day: defilements and stains, overflowing with self-indulgences, taking pleasure in their feasts 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.
having eyes full of adultery and of incessant offenses, luring unstable souls, having a heart well-trained in avarice, sons of curses!
15 Alesile litala lyegoloche, asochele ni kulikuya litala lya Balaamu, mwana ju che Beoli juŵanonyelwe nnope mbiya, syakapegwile kwa kutenda yangalumbana,
Abandoning the straight path, they wandered astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of iniquity.
16 nambo ŵakalipilwe kwa ligongo lya ungalumbana wakwe. Nipele mbunda jingajikuŵecheta, jaŵechete mpela mundu, ni kugasiŵila masoka ga jwakulondola jo.
Yet truly, he had a correction of his madness: the mute animal under the yoke, which, by speaking with a human voice, forbid the folly of the prophet.
17 Ŵele ŵandu ali mpela isima yangali meesi ni mpela maunde gamapujikwe ni chimbunga. Akunnungu ŵaŵichile liuto lya kutama papali ni chipi totoloo. ()
These ones are like fountains without water, and like clouds stirred up by whirlwinds. For them, the mist of darkness is reserved.
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.
For, speaking with the arrogance of vanity, they lure, by the desires of fleshly pleasures, those who are fleeing to some extent, who are being turned from 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.
promising them freedoms, while they themselves are the servants of corruption. For by whatever a man is overcome, of this also is he the servant.
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.
For if, after taking refuge from the defilements of the world in the understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again become entangled and overcome by these things, then the latter state becomes worse than the former.
21 Pakuŵa ikaliji mmbaya kwa ŵanyawo iŵaga ngakanalimanyilile litala lyambone paujo pa Akunnungu, kupunda kulimanyilila, nipele kulileka ni kulipotesya lilajisyo lyaliswela lyapegwilwe.
For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of justice than, after acknowledging it, to turn away from that holy commandment which was handed 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.
For the truth of the proverb has happened to them: The dog has returned to his own vomit, and the washed sow has returned to her wallowing in the mud.
