2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Ndime Sayimoni Pita, ndemuzike nkendi mutumwa wa Jesu Kkilisito, kulibabo bakatambula lusyomo lwamubululami kwa Leza a Mufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
2 Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord:
Iluzyalo alumuuno ngaziyungizigwe mukuzibisya Leza a Jesu-Mwami wesu.
3 As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.
Munguzu zyakwe zyabu Leza, zintu zyonse zyabuna Leza zyakapegwa kulindiswe kwinda mukumuziba lwakwe oyo iwakatwiita mubulemu bwakwe amukuzwidilila kwakwe.
4 By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
Kwinda mulizeezi wakatupa zisyomezyo zyakwe zibotu, kuti mulinzizyo tube achabilo chabuna Leza, akuyovunwa kubusofwazi bwaansi aano bwetelezegwa kuzwa kuzibi.
5 And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
Akambo kazeezi, amusungwale kukuyungizya bubotu mulusyomo lwanu, akukubota muyungizye luzibo,
6 And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
kuluzibo muyungizye kulyendeelela, kukulyendelela muyungizye lukakatilo, kulukakatilo muyungizye buna Leza,
7 And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
kubuna leza muyungizye luyando lwakuba bantu bamwi, kuluyando lwakuba bantu bamwi, muvuzye luyando.
8 For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the 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 For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Pesi kufumbwa uyobula ezi zintu unoli waba simubonena afwifwi kwakuti unoli moofu, nkambo wakaluba kuti wakasalazigwa kuzwa kuzibi zyakwe zyachiindi.
10 Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
Nkaambo kaako, nobakwesu, amuchiite bubotu bwiindilide kuchitila bwiitwe bwanu akusalwa kwanu kube kwanchoonzyo, nkambo na mwazichita zyonseezi, tamukoyolebwa pe.
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Mukuchita obu muyofonkwedwa mubwingi lweenu imwenya wakuyonjila mubwami bwa Mwami a Mufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito. (aiōnios g166)
12 For which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed in the present truth.
Nkeenkako ndinokkala nkelibambilide kunomuyeezya nywebo zintu ezi, nekuba mulizizi, alubo nekuba mulibasimi mukasimpe ako nkemwakabaako kwalino.
13 But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
Ndayeeya kuti nchibotu kulindime, kufumbwa nkechili aansi aano, kunokkala nkemutilimuna akumuyeezya.
14 Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
Nkambo ndizi loko kuti aano ansi iteente lyangu liyomwayulwa chakufwambana, nkambo Mwami Jesu Kkilisito wandiyubunwida obo.
15 And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things.
Alimwi ndilasungwala kuti musule akuzwa kwangu kamunochiyeyede kwalyoonse ezi zintu.
16 For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
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 from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Nkambo wakatambula kulemekwa abulemu kuzwa kuli Leza Taata awo ijwi nilyakeetwa kulinguwe mubulemu bupati, lyamba kuti, “Oyu Mwanawangu ngunjandisya, mulinguwe ndilakondwa.”
18 And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Lwesu tobeni twakalimvwa ijwi eli lyakeetwa kuzwa kujulu awo mpotwakalamwi anguwe aatala achilundu chisalala.
19 And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise 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 Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
Ajulu azyonse, amube akumvwisisya kuti takwe pe businsimi bwamumagwalo bunga bulazwa mubupanduluzi bwamuntu.
21 For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.
Nkambo takwepe businsimi bwakali bwazwa kukuyanda kwamuntu, pesi bantu bakali kwambula zyakali kuzwa kuli Leza awo nibakali kubwezegwa a Muuya Uusalala.
