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.
SHEMUN PETROS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, to those who by faith the same in preciousness with us have been made equal, through the righteousness of our Lord and our Redeemer Jeshu Meshiha.
2 Ngunsachila umbone wa Akunnungu ni chitendewele kwa kuchuluka mkwamanyilila Akunnungu ni Che Yesu Ambuje ŵetu.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
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.
As He who all (things) which of the divine power are unto life and godliness hath given (us), through the knowledge of Him who hath called us unto the glory of him and of 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 annunciations great and precious which he hath given to you, that by them you may be partakers of the divine nature, while you escape the corruption of the lusts which are in the world;
5 Kwa ligongo lyo, nlimbichile nkonjechesya umbone mu chikulupi chenu ni mu umbone wo njonjechesye umanyilisi wenu.
So, with this, bringing in all diligence, add to your faith virtue; but to virtue knowledge,
6 Mu umanyilisi wenu njonjechesye kuukombola ntima ni mu kuukombola ntima mo njonjechesye upililiu ni mu upililiu wenu njonjechesye kwalamba Akunnungu.
but to knowledge perseverance, but to perseverance patience, but to patience godliness,
7 Ni mu kwalamba Akunnungu kwenu njonjechesye umbusanga wa chilongo ni mu umbusanga wa chilongo njonjechesye unonyelo kwa ŵandu wose.
but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love.
8 Pakuŵa indu yi yachulukaga kukwenu, chiintende ŵangaŵa ŵa ulesi nipele chintende yambone nkwamanyilila Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
For while these are found with you, and abound, neither slothfulness nor unfruitfulness will stand against you in the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
9 Nambo mundu jwanganakola yele yose ali jwangalola, ngakukombola kulola indu yaitalichile, nombe aliŵalile kuti amasile kuswejekwa sambi syao sya kalakala.
For he with whom these are not found is blind, and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purification of his former sins.
10 Kwa ligongo lyo achinjangu nchalile kukutenda kuŵilanjikwa kwenu ni kusagulikwa ni Akunnungu kuŵe chindu chachikwendelechela pangali mbesi, mwatendaga yele ngangwa ng'oo.
Upon this the more, my brethren, be careful, that by your good works your calling and your election you may confirm; for, while you do these, you will never lapse;
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 abundantly shall be given to you the entrance of the eternal kingdom of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha. (aiōnios g166)
12 Kwa ligongo lyo chimbunde kumkumbusya gelego moŵa gose, namose mmasile kwimanyilila ni nli chilimbile mu usyene wammupochele.
Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth.
13 Nguganichisya kuti ili yambone kwangune, pandili pachilambo pano, kunjimusya kwa kunkumbusya nkati gelega.
But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance:
14 Ngumanyilila kuti mandichile kuuleka umi wa pachilambo, mpela yatite pakuunosya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be, ) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know.
15 Nipele chilimbile kutenda chachili chose chingukombola kuti pachimale kuwa nkombole kuikumbuchila yele yose katema kose.
But be careful also that (these) you may continually have; that also after my going forth the memorial of them you may observe.
16 Katema patwanjiganyaga nkati machili gaakwika nago Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, nginitukuya ndamo syangalimate. Uweji twachinsyene twauweni ukulu wakwe.
For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators 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 when he received from Aloha the Father honour and glory, while a voice came to him as this, after the glorious beauty of his majesty, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted;
18 Uweji twachinsyene twalipikene lye liloŵe kutyochela kwinani patwaliji pamo nawo pachanya chikwesya chachiswela.
we also this voice heard from heaven, as it came to him when we were with him in the holy mount.
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.
We have that which is sure also, the word of prophecy; that into which you do well to look, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the sun arise in your hearts.
20 Nkupunda yeleyo, mmanyilile kaje kuti ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kusagamukula nsyene utenga wa Akunnungu wauli Mmalembelo.
While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution is not.
21 Pakuŵa utenga wa Akunnungu nganiuika kwa usache wa mundu, nambo ŵandu ŵausasile achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
For not by the will of man came any prophecy, but while by the Holy Spirit led spake the holy men of God.
