2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
Simone Pitolosi, muhikana ni mu apositola wa Jesu Keresite, kwavo vava tambuli intumelo ya vutokwa i swana uvu neswe hatu va i tabuli, intumero mu ku chena kwa Ireza ni Muhazi Jesu Keresite.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Chishemo ni nkozo chi werwe cha ku pima mu maano a Ireza ni Jesu Simwine wetu.
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
Zintu zonse ku amana maata a hitilila cha vuhalo ni vu Ireza ziva hewa kwetu cha maano a Ireza, ya vatu sumpili che nkanya yakwe ni vulotu.
4 Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Chezi, ava tuhi insepiso i ndotu ni vukando, njikuti muve mu vatambuli ku nkavero ya vwikalo vulotu, uvu hamuva lovoki ku vuchengeleli vwina mu nkanda kevaka lwa ntakazo imbi.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
Cheli ivaka, muchite cha kulikoza kuku kondisa che ntumelo yenu, ni cha ku kondisa kwenu, maano.
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
Cha maano enu, mu were kuli yendisa, mi kuku liyendisa kwenu, muwere kuli koza, mi mu kuli koza kwenu, mu were vu ireza.
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
Cha vu ireza vwenu, mu were ku zuminzana chense, mi mu ku zuminzana chense kwenu, mu were irato.
8 For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Chikuti izi zintu zina mwenu ni ku kula mwenu, kete muve vavulite zintu kamba kusa vika zihantu mu maano a Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
9 But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Kono yense yo vulite izi zintu u vona feela china hafuhi; ka voni. Chava zivali za ku jolozwa kuzwa ku zivi zakwe za kale.
10 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
Lyahanu, vakwangu, mu wongoze ku chita ku sumpwa kwenu ni buketwa vwenu mu vuli kolwisise. Ha mu chita izi zintu, kete mu chunchule.
11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Cheyi inzila menjililo mu muvuso wa kuya kuile ya Simwine wetu ni Muhazi Jesu Keresite mu zi hewe kwenu cha ku fuma. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
Kuzwaho mu ni kuli tukiseze kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ni ha kwina kuti mu zizi, mi nanga mu kolete kale mu vuniti hanu.
13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
Ni zeza kuti ku shiyeme kwangu ku mi kundunga cha kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ha ni sina mwelinu itente.
14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
Mukuti nizi kuti hahanu kani zwise itente lyangu, uvu nji Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite mwavani tondelezi.
15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
Kani li koze chenu kuti muku zeza inako yonse chezi zintu nanga cina hita.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
Mukuti kana tu ve chilili cha vutali matangu akulipangila hatu va mi wambili za ziho ni kuli vonahaza kwa Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite. Kono, tuva paki cha menso za vukando vwakwe.
17 For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Mukuti ava tambuli kuzwa kwa Ireza Ishwetu ku kutekwa ni nkanya liinzwi haliva letwa kwali che nkanya ikando ni icho, “Uzu mwanangu, u sakahala, cakwe ni sangite sinte.”
18 And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
Tu va zuwi ili liinzwi liva zwi mwi wulu, hatu vena naye he lindu li chena.
19 We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Twina ili liinzwi lwa chiporofita liva nitihazwa. Mu chita sinte ku twala ko maano. Li kola uvu ilambi li munika mu civaka che fifi hesi hakwiza kakusasani mi inkani ya kakusasana i zwa mu nkulo zenu.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
Mwi zive ichi tanzi, kuti kakwina chiporofita chete nichi torokwe muntu umwina.
21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Mukuti kawina ciporofita chivati chichiza che ntakazo yo muntu. Kono, vantu va hinditwe cha luhoho lu jolola lu wambitwe kuzwa kwa Ireza.
