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 an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior 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 through the knowledge of God, and 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.
According as his divine power hath given to us all things that [pertain] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to 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.
Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having 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.
And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue 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 temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 Ni mu kwalamba Akunnungu kwenu njonjechesye umbusanga wa chilongo ni mu umbusanga wa chilongo njonjechesye unonyelo kwa ŵandu wose.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 Pakuŵa indu yi yachulukaga kukwenu, chiintende ŵangaŵa ŵa ulesi nipele chintende yambone nkwamanyilila Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the 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.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified 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.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
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 an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Kwa ligongo lyo chimbunde kumkumbusya gelego moŵa gose, namose mmasile kwimanyilila ni nli chilimbile mu usyene wammupochele.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and are established in the present truth.
13 Nguganichisya kuti ili yambone kwangune, pandili pachilambo pano, kunjimusya kwa kunkumbusya nkati gelega.
Indeed, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
14 Ngumanyilila kuti mandichile kuuleka umi wa pachilambo, mpela yatite pakuunosya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.
15 Nipele chilimbile kutenda chachili chose chingukombola kuti pachimale kuwa nkombole kuikumbuchila yele yose katema kose.
Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Katema patwanjiganyaga nkati machili gaakwika nago Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, nginitukuya ndamo syangalimate. Uweji twachinsyene twauweni ukulu wakwe.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were 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 received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, 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.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on 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 also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
20 Nkupunda yeleyo, mmanyilile kaje kuti ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kusagamukula nsyene utenga wa Akunnungu wauli Mmalembelo.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Pakuŵa utenga wa Akunnungu nganiuika kwa usache wa mundu, nambo ŵandu ŵausasile achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke [as they were] moved by the Holy Spirit.
