< 2 Peter 3 >
1 Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind:
Eshi ehusimbila awe, lugano elikalata elya bhele eliebhoshe katika enjele,
2 That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets, and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour.
ili uweze akomboshe amazu gagayagwilwe sasele naakowa ahwinza nashi endamilo ezya Gosi wetu nufyozi ashilile atwumwa.
3 Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
Omanye eli elyahwandile, huje ananzi bhahwiza esiku ezya mwisho bhahwibagaye namwe, bhabhalaga sabhahwaza amadala gabho bhibho.
4 Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? for since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Na whaigauli alulagano lwa wele? Aise bhetu bhafwiye ila evintu vyonti vyali esho afume huimwanzo na bhombaga.
5 For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God.
Bhahwilola ahwene aje ensi ne mwanya vya handile afumilane na menze ashilile amenze ge mwaha nyene, hwi izu lya Ngolobhe,
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
na aje ashilile izu lyakwe na menze gaibho nsii eshipindi eshu, yaibha ememile amenze, yananchishe.
7 But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men.
Ila esalezi emwanya nensi zitunzilwe hwizu lyelyo lyelyo kwa ajili isiku elyalongwe ne nfwa ya wantu bhasebhali no Ngolobhe.
8 But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Ene sewezizye aziongozyewe enongwa yaho, wantu mwemwe isiku limohwa Ngolobhe sawa namaha elfu moja na maha elfu sawa ni siku limo.
9 The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.
Sio aje Ongolobhe abhomba wolowolo atimizye olulagano, nanshi shabhasebhelela aje omwene vumilivu hulimwe omwene sagaziliha aje omomo ateje lakini aziliha aje kila muntu apate atubu.
10 But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up.
Japokuwa isiku lya Ngolobhe lihwenza na omwibha, emwanya yaishila lela hu mwoto. Eshi ne vintu vyonti vyavihweli vyaibhehwa wazi.
11 Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?
Afuatanaje evintu vyonti vyailongolela hwi idala eli, aje waibha muntu we namna wele okhale shizelu na maisha geshi Ngolobhe.
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?
Ehwanziwa amanye haraka olwenzelo lwi siku lya Ngolobhe Isiku elyo emwanya yailongolela hu mwoto nentu vyailongolela hu mwoto. Nentu vyai longolela ni lyoto ikhali.
13 But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.
Ila alengane no lulagano lwakwe tigolela emwanya empya nensi empya, ambabho whe lyoli bhaikhala.
14 Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.
Esho bhamwetu afwatane naje tisobheye evintu evi, hwitahidi abhene sinte na lalamishe abhe ne amani pamo no mwene.
15 And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
Oyenyaje ou vumilivu wa Ngolobhe wetu ashilile owokovu, nashi owamwetu okolo wetu o Paulo, shabhandishie amwe, ashilile ne nshibhi yatapewilwe.
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
O Paulo ayanga ego gonti mubarua yakwe, huli evintu evikhome avyelewe awantu wasebhali nenshinshi no uimara wavinankenye evintu evyo, nanshi shabhabhomba hwizu. Abhalile enfwa yabho.
17 You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness.
Esho, wamwetu afutanaje mgamenye ego hwilondaji mwemwe waganje watezye ni lenika lya khopezi natezye ougolosu wenyu.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn )
Ila mkule hu neema nenjo ya Ngolobhe omwokozi oYesu kristi. Eshi oumwamu uli nomwene hata salezi na wila wila. Amina. (aiōn )
