2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have received like precious faith with us through [the] righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
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 in [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 As his divine power has given to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us by glory and virtue,
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 which he has given to us the greatest and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of [the] divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
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 But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
Cheli ivaka, muchite cha kulikoza kuku kondisa che ntumelo yenu, ni cha ku kondisa kwenu, maano.
6 in knowledge temperance, in temperance endurance, in endurance 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 in godliness brotherly love, in brotherly love love:
Cha vu ireza vwenu, mu were ku zuminzana chense, mi mu ku zuminzana chense kwenu, mu were irato.
8 for these things existing and abounding in you make [you] to be neither idle nor unfruitful as regards the 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 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former 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 Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;
Lyahanu, vakwangu, mu wongoze ku chita ku sumpwa kwenu ni buketwa vwenu mu vuli kolwisise. Ha mu chita izi zintu, kete mu chunchule.
11 for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you. (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 Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing [them] and established in the present truth.
Kuzwaho mu ni kuli tukiseze kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ni ha kwina kuti mu zizi, mi nanga mu kolete kale mu vuniti hanu.
13 But I account it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance,
Ni zeza kuti ku shiyeme kwangu ku mi kundunga cha kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ha ni sina mwelinu itente.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily [to take place], as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me;
Mukuti nizi kuti hahanu kani zwise itente lyangu, uvu nji Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite mwavani tondelezi.
15 but I will use diligence, that after my departure ye should have also, at any time, [in your power] to call to mind these things.
Kani li koze chenu kuti muku zeza inako yonse chezi zintu nanga cina hita.
16 For we have not made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly imagined fables, but having been 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 from God [the] Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight;
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 this voice we heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
Tu va zuwi ili liinzwi liva zwi mwi wulu, hatu vena naye he lindu li chena.
19 And we have the prophetic word [made] surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until [the] day dawn and [the] morning star arise 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 knowing this first, that [the scope of] no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation,
Mwi zive ichi tanzi, kuti kakwina chiporofita chete nichi torokwe muntu umwina.
21 for prophecy was not ever uttered by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of [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.
