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:
Ndime Sayimoni Pita, ndemuzike nkendi mutumwa wa Jesu Kkilisito, kulibabo bakatambula lusyomo lwamubululami kwa Leza a Mufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Iluzyalo alumuuno ngaziyungizigwe mukuzibisya Leza a Jesu-Mwami wesu.
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.
Munguzu zyakwe zyabu Leza, zintu zyonse zyabuna Leza zyakapegwa kulindiswe kwinda mukumuziba lwakwe oyo iwakatwiita mubulemu bwakwe amukuzwidilila kwakwe.
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.
Kwinda mulizeezi wakatupa zisyomezyo zyakwe zibotu, kuti mulinzizyo tube achabilo chabuna Leza, akuyovunwa kubusofwazi bwaansi aano bwetelezegwa kuzwa kuzibi.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
Akambo kazeezi, amusungwale kukuyungizya bubotu mulusyomo lwanu, akukubota muyungizye luzibo,
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
kuluzibo muyungizye kulyendeelela, kukulyendelela muyungizye lukakatilo, kulukakatilo muyungizye buna Leza,
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
kubuna leza muyungizye luyando lwakuba bantu bamwi, kuluyando lwakuba bantu bamwi, muvuzye luyando.
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.
Kuti ezi zintu zyaba mulindinywe akukomena mulindinywe, ziyomukasya lwanu kukutazyala michelo nikuba kutazyala michelo yakuba luzibo lwa-Mwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
9 But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Pesi kufumbwa uyobula ezi zintu unoli waba simubonena afwifwi kwakuti unoli moofu, nkambo wakaluba kuti wakasalazigwa kuzwa kuzibi zyakwe zyachiindi.
10 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
Nkaambo kaako, nobakwesu, amuchiite bubotu bwiindilide kuchitila bwiitwe bwanu akusalwa kwanu kube kwanchoonzyo, nkambo na mwazichita zyonseezi, tamukoyolebwa pe.
11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Mukuchita obu muyofonkwedwa mubwingi lweenu imwenya wakuyonjila mubwami bwa Mwami a Mufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito. (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.
Nkeenkako ndinokkala nkelibambilide kunomuyeezya nywebo zintu ezi, nekuba mulizizi, alubo nekuba mulibasimi mukasimpe ako nkemwakabaako kwalino.
13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
Ndayeeya kuti nchibotu kulindime, kufumbwa nkechili aansi aano, kunokkala nkemutilimuna akumuyeezya.
14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
Nkambo ndizi loko kuti aano ansi iteente lyangu liyomwayulwa chakufwambana, nkambo Mwami Jesu Kkilisito wandiyubunwida obo.
15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
Alimwi ndilasungwala kuti musule akuzwa kwangu kamunochiyeyede kwalyoonse ezi zintu.
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.
Nkambo tetwakali kutobela zyabusongo bwakulipangila nitwakachita kuti muzibe nguzu akuboola kwa Mwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito, pesi twakali bakamboni bakabona bupati bwakwe.
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.”
Nkambo wakatambula kulemekwa abulemu kuzwa kuli Leza Taata awo ijwi nilyakeetwa kulinguwe mubulemu bupati, lyamba kuti, “Oyu Mwanawangu ngunjandisya, mulinguwe ndilakondwa.”
18 And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
Lwesu tobeni twakalimvwa ijwi eli lyakeetwa kuzwa kujulu awo mpotwakalamwi anguwe aatala achilundu chisalala.
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.
Nkambo tulalyo ijwi lyachisinsiimi lyakatusimya, kwakuti muyochita obotu na mwalitelela. Lilimbuli chimunisyo echo chimunika mumudima mane kukabe kubuchedo awo kumazwido entanda mumyoyo yanu.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
Ajulu azyonse, amube akumvwisisya kuti takwe pe businsimi bwamumagwalo bunga bulazwa mubupanduluzi bwamuntu.
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.
Nkambo takwepe businsimi bwakali bwazwa kukuyanda kwamuntu, pesi bantu bakali kwambula zyakali kuzwa kuli Leza awo nibakali kubwezegwa a Muuya Uusalala.
