2 Peter 3
1 This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in [both] which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind,
nikulembela bhebhe, n'ganwa ej'he barua j'ha bhubhele ili kukujhumusya mu luhala,
2 to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;
ubhusiaghe kukhomboka malobhi agha ghaghajobhiki kabla ni manabii bhatakatifu ni kuhusu amri j'ha Bwana gwitu na mwokozi kwa kutumila mitume.
3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,
ili kubhwandelu mana bhasaliti bhibhetakuhida mu ligono lya mwishu kubhasaliti muenga kyabhilota sawasawa ni matakwa ghabhu.
4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus from [the] beginning of [the] creation.
bhakajobhai “J'hij'henda ku ahadi j'ha kukherebhuka? Bha tata bhitu bhafwili, Lakini fenu fyoha fyaj'hele efu kuhomela kubhwandelu mwa bhuumbaji.
5 For this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God,
kuj'ha nchi ni mbingu fya j'handili naha kuhoma ni masi ni kup'hetela masi muandi muni, kwa litobhi lya litobhi lya k'yara,
6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.
kwamba kup'hetela litobhi lyake na masi ghakawa bhulimwengu kaw kipindi e'khu, ikibhwa j'himemili masi, j'haharibibhu.
7 But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
henu mbingu ni dunia situnzibhu kwa litobhi leluelu kwa ndabha j'ha muoto. Fihifadhibhu kwa ndabha j'ha ligono lya hukumu ni maj'hangamisi gha bhanu bhabhabeli kuj'ha bha k'yara.
8 But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
j'hibhuesya lepi kuchenga bhujumbe bhwaku, bhaganwa, ligono limonga kwa bwana ni kama miaka elfu moja. Ni miaka elfu moja ni kama ligono limonga.
9 [The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Sio kuj'ha Bwana iphomba molimoli kutimisya ahadi syake, kama kyaj'hifikiribhwa kuj'ha, Lakini muene mvumilivu kwandabha j'hinu, muene ilonda lepi hata mmonga ajhabgamilai, Lakini itamani kuhomesya muda ili bhoha bhakabhaghe kutubu.
10 But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.
ligono lya Bwana libetakuhida kama mmeji, mbingu j'hibeta kup'heta kwa kukuesya njuegho. Fenu fibeta kuteketesibhwa kwa muoto. Nchi ni fenu fioha fibetakufunulibhwa bhwasi.
11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
kuj'ha fenu fiyoha fibetakutekesibhwa kwa nj'hela ej'he, Je, ghwibeta kuj'ha munu ghwa aina gani? Utamaj'hi kitakatifu ni maisha gha kimungu.
12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?
kumanya ni kutambula haraka ujio bha ligono lya k'yara. Ligono e'lu mbingu j'hibetakuteketesibhwa ni muoto. Ni fenu fibetakuyeyuka ni joto likali.
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
kutokana ni ahadi syake, twilendela mbingu nyipya ni nchi nyipya, ambapo bhenye haki bhib'heta kutama.
14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;
kwa kuj'ha twitarajila fenu efe, mwikwitangaghe kuj'ha makini ni kutokulaumika ni kuj'ha ni amani pamonga nu muene.
15 and account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him,
zingatilai bhuvumilivu bhwa Bwana ghwitu mu bhwokovu, kama n'ganwa ndombo bhitu Paulo, kyaabhalembili muenga, kutokana ni luhala lwa apelibhu.
16 as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
ilongelela agha ghoha mu barua syake, kuna fenu ambafyo ni figumu kufij'helebhwa. Bhanu bhabhaduli adabu ni bhuimara bhafyonangili fenu efu, Na kama kya bhibhomba ku maandiko. kulot'ela maangamizi ghabhu.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these] things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness:
bhaganwa kwa kuj'ha mughamanyili aghu. Mwikilenda mwibhene ili kuj'ha mkatakupotosibhwa ni bhudesi bhwa bhalaghai ni kubhajhasya bhuaminifu.
The Great Flood
