2 Peter 3
1 This second letter I now write to you, beloved; in both of these I arouse your pure mind to remembrance,
Ulu ni huhosimbila uve vigane ekalata yavile ili uhu kamelesia katiha uluhala,
2 that you may be mindful of the words formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:
ili uweswe uhukomboha amamenyu agajoviwe kabula unya malago uKlisite nuhuhusu indagelo cha upohi vito uvihu tupoha uvitumela avakongi.
3 knowing this first, that there will come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
Uwelewe huwanjo uhuta avitulanongwa kihwicha hu sihu icha humwisio uhuva changanya yumwe vu viluta ni amli cha vene.
4 and saying: Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Nichova uhuta yele ndahu uludehano ulwa huki livuha dada veto vafuile lakini ifinu ivi vyahumile huwanja uhwavumbile.
5 For they are willingly ignorant of this, that by the word of God, the heavens of old had their being as also the earth consisting of water and subsisting by water,
Vahefanya uhusamwe ihelunga vihumine na magasi nuhugendela amagasiga hatale hulimenyu ilwa Nguluve,
6 by which things the world that then was, having been overflowed with water, perished.
uhusendela mlimenyu ilia mwene nama gasi gavaha kilonga huhepindi ihwo hagaviwe amagasi heha nangeha.
7 But the heavens and the earth that now are, by the same word are kept in store, reserved for fire against the day of judgment, and perdition of ungodly men.
Ululeno hukianya napasi kutonjiwe hulimenye lelelwo ilwa moto levehiwe hwa ajili ya yahuhegiwe uhwongomela awanu avalevuvule uNguluve.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Sayiweswa uhunanga elimenyu iliaho husihu yemo hwanguluke ni kama miaha mia moja elfu moja ni kama sihu yemo.
9 The Lord does not delay concerning his promise, as some men count delay, but he is long-suffering toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Sio khuva uNguluve ivomba mlamola uhutimeswa ulu dehano kama umyihweleveha umwene mwaminifu hwa ajili yenyo umwene sinogwa ihungomela lakini ihumia usehe ili uhwe pala imbivi.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth, and the works that are on it, shall be burned up.
Inave, isihu ya Nguluve yifiha yiva kama undiasi ehelunga hela genda hwa huchova ekelele ifinu vilanangeha no mwoto. Ihelonga hwini helava mbuvalafu.
11 Seeing, then, that all these things shall be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in all holy behavior, and godliness,
Uhuva ifinu vyoni nangeha hunjela eye. Je ulava mnu vani utame he Klisite na emitamelo gwa he Nguluve.
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, because of which coming the heavens shall dis solve in fire, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.
Yinogwa uhelewa halaga uhwicha hwa Nguluve isihu eyo ehelunga helanangeha nu moto nifinu vilayeyoha no moto.
13 But we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness.
Uhuhumana ne ahadi ya mwene tugojela ehelunga ehepya ambamo avenya lweli vitama.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you expect such things, earnestly strive, by being spotless and blameless, to be found by him in peace:
Leno vagane tutegemela ifinu ifi etange sana uhusita uhulalameha nuhuva ne amani nave.
15 and count the long-suffering of our Lord, salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, has written to you;
Ni fata ukwe yomelecha hwa Nguluve katika uhwohwolewa kama vagane va Paulo, avasimbile umwe uhuhumana nuhwedeha ambayo ahapohilwe.
16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
UPaulo alihujovela ago goni mkalata iya mwene hule finu ifi gumu uhuvyelewa avanu vava vakosiche eadabu na uvuimala vafinangile ifinu ivyo numvivombela uhusimba huhwa huhwelekea uhwongomela hwavene.
17 Do you, therefore, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, beware, lest, being led away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
Hivyo vagane uhuva mlumanyile ago lolelanaga ili msite uhuyagwa edeme mwevena ili msite uhuyagwa nuvudesi uwavapohaji nu huvayacha uwe lweli.
The Great Flood
