2 Petulo 1
1 Une che Simoni Petulo, jwakutumichila ni nduna ju Che Yesu Kilisito. Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe umpochele chikulupi chachikulu chambone nnope mpela chitwapochele uweji kwa litala lya umbone wa Akunnungu ŵetu ni Nkulupusyo jwetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Ngunsachila umbone wa Akunnungu ni chitendewele kwa kuchuluka mkwamanyilila Akunnungu ni Che Yesu Ambuje ŵetu.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you by the God and Father of Jesus our Lord.
3 Kwa ukombole wao, Akunnungu atupele yose itukuilajila mu umi wa kwalamba ni kwanonyelesya kwa litala lya kwamanyilila ŵelewo ŵatuŵilasile tujinjile mu ukulu wao ni umbone wao asyene.
For his power divine has granted to us everything needful for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue.
4 Kwanti yele atupele chilanga chachikulungwa ni cha ndalama, kuti kwa litala lyo tukombole kuwambala uwonasi waukwika kwa ligongo lya misese jangalumbana ja pachilambo, ni kuŵa mpela Akunnungu yakuti pakusaka tuŵe.
By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Kwa ligongo lyo, nlimbichile nkonjechesya umbone mu chikulupi chenu ni mu umbone wo njonjechesye umanyilisi wenu.
For this very reason do your best to add to your faith manliness, and to manliness knowledge,
6 Mu umanyilisi wenu njonjechesye kuukombola ntima ni mu kuukombola ntima mo njonjechesye upililiu ni mu upililiu wenu njonjechesye kwalamba Akunnungu.
and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control stedfastness, and to stedfastness piety,
7 Ni mu kwalamba Akunnungu kwenu njonjechesye umbusanga wa chilongo ni mu umbusanga wa chilongo njonjechesye unonyelo kwa ŵandu wose.
and to piety brotherly love, and to brotherly love, love itself.
8 Pakuŵa indu yi yachulukaga kukwenu, chiintende ŵangaŵa ŵa ulesi nipele chintende yambone nkwamanyilila Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure, they render you not idle nor unfruitful, until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Nambo mundu jwanganakola yele yose ali jwangalola, ngakukombola kulola indu yaitalichile, nombe aliŵalile kuti amasile kuswejekwa sambi syao sya kalakala.
For the man who lacks these virtues is blind, short-sighted, forgetful of his cleansing from his old sins.
10 Kwa ligongo lyo achinjangu nchalile kukutenda kuŵilanjikwa kwenu ni kusagulikwa ni Akunnungu kuŵe chindu chachikwendelechela pangali mbesi, mwatendaga yele ngangwa ng'oo.
So, brothers, take diligent care to make your calling and election sure; for if you do this, you will never stumble.
11 Pakuŵa mwatendaga yele, chinkundikwe kwinjila mu Umwenye wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wa Ambuje ni Nkulupusyo jwetu Che Yesu Kilisito. (aiōnios g166)
For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you. (aiōnios g166)
12 Kwa ligongo lyo chimbunde kumkumbusya gelego moŵa gose, namose mmasile kwimanyilila ni nli chilimbile mu usyene wammupochele.
I shall therefore be always ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it, and are firmly founded in the truth which is with you.
13 Nguganichisya kuti ili yambone kwangune, pandili pachilambo pano, kunjimusya kwa kunkumbusya nkati gelega.
So I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to rouse you by way of reminding you,
14 Ngumanyilila kuti mandichile kuuleka umi wa pachilambo, mpela yatite pakuunosya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
since I know that the time for me to strike tent comes swiftly on, even as our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out to me.
15 Nipele chilimbile kutenda chachili chose chingukombola kuti pachimale kuwa nkombole kuikumbuchila yele yose katema kose.
So I will do my best to enable you, even after my departure, continually to call these things to mind.
16 Katema patwanjiganyaga nkati machili gaakwika nago Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, nginitukuya ndamo syangalimate. Uweji twachinsyene twauweni ukulu wakwe.
For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty.
17 Pakuŵa uweji twapali katema kaŵapegwile luchimbichimbi ni ukulu kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati, palyaichile liloŵe kutyochela kwa ŵele ŵaali ukulu wekulu, lichitiji, “Aju ni Mwanangu jwakunonyelwa, jungunonyelwa najo.”
For he did receive honor and glory from God the Father, when there was borne such a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight;
18 Uweji twachinsyene twalipikene lye liloŵe kutyochela kwinani patwaliji pamo nawo pachanya chikwesya chachiswela.
and this voice we ourselves heard, borne to us out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy hill.
19 Tukukulupilila kuti, utenga uŵaŵechetekwe ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu waliji wa usyene, nomwe nkutenda yambone iŵaga chimuupikanile. Pakuŵa utenga wo ukwikanawo lilanguka lyalikulanguchisya mu chipi mpaka kucha ni lilanguka lya ndondwa ja nng'aandu pachililanguchisye mmitima jenu.
And so we possess the word of prophecy made yet more sure. Unto this you do well to give heed as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Nkupunda yeleyo, mmanyilile kaje kuti ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kusagamukula nsyene utenga wa Akunnungu wauli Mmalembelo.
But first be assured of this - that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 Pakuŵa utenga wa Akunnungu nganiuika kwa usache wa mundu, nambo ŵandu ŵausasile achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke for God.
