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 servant and legate of Jesus the Messiah, to those who have obtained equally precious faith with us, through the righteousness of Our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus the Messiah;
2 Ngunsachila umbone wa Akunnungu ni chitendewele kwa kuchuluka mkwamanyilila Akunnungu ni Che Yesu Ambuje ŵetu.
May grace and peace abound to you through the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
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 the giver to us of all things that be of the power of God, unto life and the fear of God, through the recognition of him who hath called us unto his own glory and moral excellence:
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.
wherein he hath given you very great and precious promises; that by them ye might become partakers of the nature of God, while ye flee from the corruptions of the lusts that are in the world.
5 Kwa ligongo lyo, nlimbichile nkonjechesya umbone mu chikulupi chenu ni mu umbone wo njonjechesye umanyilisi wenu.
And, while ye apply all diligence in the matter, add to your faith moral excellence; and to moral excellence, 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, perseverance; and to perseverance, patience; and to patience, the fear of God;
7 Ni mu kwalamba Akunnungu kwenu njonjechesye umbusanga wa chilongo ni mu umbusanga wa chilongo njonjechesye unonyelo kwa ŵandu wose.
and to the fear of God, sympathy with the brotherhood; and to sympathy with the brotherhood, 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 in you, and abounding, they render you not slothful, and not unfruitful, in the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
9 Nambo mundu jwanganakola yele yose ali jwangalola, ngakukombola kulola indu yaitalichile, nombe aliŵalile kuti amasile kuswejekwa sambi syao sya kalakala.
For he, in whom these things are not found, is blind and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purgation 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.
And therefore, my brethren, be ye exceedingly diligent to make your calling and election sure, by your good actions: for, by so doing, ye will never fall away.
11 Pakuŵa mwatendaga yele, chinkundikwe kwinjila mu Umwenye wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wa Ambuje ni Nkulupusyo jwetu Che Yesu Kilisito. (aiōnios g166)
For thus will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
12 Kwa ligongo lyo chimbunde kumkumbusya gelego moŵa gose, namose mmasile kwimanyilila ni nli chilimbile mu usyene wammupochele.
And for this reason I am not wearied in reminding you continually of these things; although ye know them well, and are established in this truth.
13 Nguganichisya kuti ili yambone kwangune, pandili pachilambo pano, kunjimusya kwa kunkumbusya nkati gelega.
And it seemeth right to me, so long as I am in this body, to excite you by monition;
14 Ngumanyilila kuti mandichile kuuleka umi wa pachilambo, mpela yatite pakuunosya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
since I know, that the demise of my body is speedy, as also my Lord Jesus the Messiah hath showed me.
15 Nipele chilimbile kutenda chachili chose chingukombola kuti pachimale kuwa nkombole kuikumbuchila yele yose katema kose.
And I am anxious, that, after my departure, ye too may have it always with you to make mention of these things.
16 Katema patwanjiganyaga nkati machili gaakwika nago Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, nginitukuya ndamo syangalimate. Uweji twachinsyene twauweni ukulu wakwe.
For we have not gone after fables artfully framed, in making known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; but it was after we had been 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 God the Father honor and glory, and, after the splendid glory of his majesty, a voice came to him thus: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased;
18 Uweji twachinsyene twalipikene lye liloŵe kutyochela kwinani patwaliji pamo nawo pachanya chikwesya chachiswela.
we also heard this identical voice from heaven, which came to him while 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.
And we have moreover a sure word of prophecy; and ye will do well, if ye look to it as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day shall dawn, and the sun shall arise in your hearts;
20 Nkupunda yeleyo, mmanyilile kaje kuti ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kusagamukula nsyene utenga wa Akunnungu wauli Mmalembelo.
ye having the previous knowledge, that no prophecy is an exposition of its own text.
21 Pakuŵa utenga wa Akunnungu nganiuika kwa usache wa mundu, nambo ŵandu ŵausasile achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
For at no time was it by the pleasure of man, that the prophecy came; but holy men of God spoke, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
