2 Peter 3
1 Beloved, this is now my second letter to you. Both of them are reminders to stir you to wholesome thinking
Itungili, kuukilisilya uwe, mulowa ili ibada nila kabiili iti ku ukimbukiilya mu mahala,
2 by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
iti kina uhume kukimbukiilya makani nai aligitigwe ze ikili ni anya kidagu ni kutula ilagiilyo nila Mukulu witu hangi muguni ku kutumila i itumi.
3 Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
Ulinge iti ng'wandyo, kina ia hugi aziiza mu mahiku a mpelo; kumuhuga unyenye, aze alongolekile iniganiie nu ulowa nu ao.
4 “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.”
Hangi azeligitya, “Likoli pii ilago ni la kusuka? aTata itu ai akule, kuiti intu yihi ai ituile uu puma ng'wandyo nua u umbwaa.
5 But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
Akitendisa kiwa kina ihi ni ilunde aiyandilye kupumiila ni mazi ikali nia kali, ku ikani ni lang'wa Itunda,
6 through which the world of that time perished in the flood.
ni kina kukiila lukani ni mazi akatula unkumbigulu ku mahiku nanso, Ize ituile izue mazi ai ibepigwe.
7 And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Kuiti itungili ilunde ni ihi i ekilwe ku lukani lulo luulo kunsoko a moto. IIekilwe kunsoko a luhiku nula ulamulwa nu ulimiligwa nua antu ni shanga ang'wa Itunda.
8 Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
Iki shanga kihumile kuhuga utung'waa nuako, alowa, kina luhuku lung'wi ku mukulu ingi anga i miaka magana anzogu ling'wi, Ni miaka magana a nzogu ling'wi ingi anga luhiku lung'wi.
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
Shanga kina Mukulu witumaa ku uembeelu kupikiilya ilagiilyo, anga ni isigiiwe kutula. Kuiti nuanso ingi mugimya kunsoko anyu, nuanso u, mugila nsula ga nung'wi walimile, Kuiti ukete nsula kupumya itungo iti ihi alije kila itunu.
10 But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.
Anga itule, luhiku nula Mukulu lukupembya anga umii, ilunde likakila ku kukuta ung'wano. Iintu yukulimiligwa ku moto. Ihi ni intu ni imoli ikukunukulwa ng'walyi.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness
Kunsoko i intuihi yukulimiligwa ku nzila yiyi. Itii ukutula muntu nua mpyani kii? Wikie ki elu nu likalo nu ki itunda.
12 as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.
Ikuloeigwe kulinga nu kumanya upepeele u upembyi nua luhiku nualang'wa Itunda. Luhiku nulanso ilunde likalimiligwa ku moto, Ni intu yuku huluganigwa mu upyu utaki.
13 But in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Kuiti kupembelya ni ilago ni lakwe, kulindiie ilunde igeni ni ihi ngeni naiza anya tai ane akikie.
14 Therefore, beloved, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace—spotless and blameless in His sight.
Uugwa alowa kunsoko kusumbiiye intu izi, kagupa kutula wimukendegeeli nu kuhita kusokigwa nu kutula nu ulyuuku palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
15 Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him.
Hangi komaniiilya u ugimya nua Mukulu witu mu ugunwa, anga mulowa heu itu uPaulo, nai umukilisiiye unyenye, kupembelya nu ukulu niiza ai winkeeigwe.
16 He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
uPauo ukuganula aya ihi mu ma bada akwe, akoli maintu nize makaku kumalinga, Antu niagila nu upolo nu ukomu aibipilye i intu nianso Ni anga niakituma ku ukilisigwa, kutunga ulimiligwa nuao.
17 Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.
Iti gwa, alowa kunsoko mulingile nanso. Isunji akola iti kina muleke kulimiligwa nu ukongelwa nua uteele nu kulimilya u uhuiili.
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kuiti mukule mu ukende nu uhugu nua Mukulu hangi muguni uYesu Kilisto, NI itungili ikulyo likoli nu ng'wenso itungili ni kali na kali. Amina. (aiōn g165)
The Great Flood
