< 2 Peter 3 >
1 This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,
Achambusanga ŵangu, achichi chili chikalata chaaŵili chingunnembela mwanya. Mu ikalata iŵili yo liinjile kusijimusya nganisyo syenu syambone kwa kunkumbusya indu yi.
2 To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour.
Ngusaka nkumbuchile maloŵe gaŵagaŵechete kalakala ŵakulondola ŵaswela ŵa Akunnungu, ni lilajisyo lya Ambuje ni Nkulupusyo limpegwilwe ni achinduna ŵenu.
3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,
Chikanaŵe chachili chose mmanyilile kuti moŵa gambesi chaiche ŵandu ŵakulongoswa ni misese jao jangalumbana, nombewo chachimpanganyichisya ya chipongwe,
4 And say, Where is the promise of his comming? for since the fathers died, all things continue alike from the beginning of the creation.
achitiji, “Ŵalanjile kuti chaiche! Ana sambano ali kwapi? Pakuŵa chitandile lyuŵa liŵawile achambuje ŵetu, indu yose ili ilaila chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.”
5 For this they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the water, by the word of God.
Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa akuliŵalila melepe kuti kalakala Akunnungu paŵaŵechete liloŵe pe kwinani ni chilambo yagumbikwe. Ni ŵachigumbile chilambo kutyochela mmesi ni kwa meesi,
6 Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
ni kwa malajisyo ga Akunnungu, chilambo cha ndanda chila chajonanjikwe kwa chikumbameesi.
7 But the heauens and earth, which are nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued vnto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of vngodly men.
Nambo kwinani kwa sambano ni chilambo iŵichikwe kwa Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ligongo lya kujonanjikwa kwa mooto. Iŵichikwe mpaka lyuŵa lya kulamulikwa ni konanjikwa kwa ŵandu ŵangakwalamba Akunnungu.
8 Dearely beloued, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, as a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres as one day.
Nambo, ŵakunonyelwa ŵangu, ngasinliŵalila chindu chimo chati, kwa Ambuje, lyuŵa limo lili nti yaka elufu moja ni yaka elufu moja nti lyuŵa limo.
9 The Lord of that promise is not slacke (as some men count slackenesse) but is pacient toward vs, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance.
Ambuje ngakukaŵa kuchitimisya chilanga chao mpela ŵane yakuti kuganisya kuti chakaŵe. Ŵelewo akwete upililiu kukwenu, pakuŵa ngakusaka hata mundu jumo ajonanjikwe nambo kuti wose aleche sambi.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a noyse, and the elements shall melt with heate, and the earth with the workes that are therein, shalbe burnt vp.
Nambo lyuŵa lya Ambuje chiliiche chisisimuchile mpela kwika kwa jwawii, pa lyuŵa lyo kwinani chikutyoche kwa chisindo chachikulungwa ni indu yose yaili kwinani mpela ila lyuŵa, ni ndondwa ni lilanguka lineline chiijonanjikwe kwa mooto. Chilambo chino ni indi yose yaili mwelemo chijonanjikwe.
11 Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
Pakuŵa indu yose chijonanjikwe kwanti yele, ana nkusachilwa ŵanyamwe kuŵa ŵandu ŵanti uli? Nkusachilwa ntameje mu uswela ni kwalamba Akunnungu,
12 Looking for, and hasting vnto the comming of that day of God, by the which the heauens being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements shall melt with heate?
nchilindililaga Lyuŵa lya Akunnungu ni kulitenda liiche kwakwanguya, pa lyele lyuŵa lyo kwinani chikutiniswe kwa mooto ni konanjikwa ni indu yose yaili kwinani chiinyelenduche.
13 But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.
Nambo malinga ni chilanga chao, tukulolela kwinani kwasambano ni chilambo chasambano mwati jwalijose akuipanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
14 Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blamelesse.
Kwayele achambusanga ŵangu, nchilolelaga Lyuŵa lyo, nlilimbisye kuti mmoneche ŵaswela ni ŵangali chileŵo paujo pa Akunnungu ni kutama nawo kwa chitendewele.
15 And suppose that the long suffering of our Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto him wrote to you,
Ni ŵanyamwe nkumbuchile kuti upililiu wa Ambuje ŵetu uli lipesa lyakumpa kuti nkulupuswe, mpela njetu che Paolo iŵatite pakunnembela kwa lunda lwapegwilwe ni Akunnungu.
16 As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of these thinges: among the which some thinges are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other Scriptures vnto their owne destruction.
Gele ni gaŵaŵechete mu ikalata yao yose pakukunguluchila indu yo. Mu ikalata yao kwana indu impepe yakulimba kuimanyilila, indu yati ŵandu ŵakuloŵela ni ŵandu ŵakugalaukagalauka akuilyungasya mpela yakuti kugagalausya Malembelo ga Akunnungu gane. Kwayele akuliulaga achinsyene.
17 Ye therefore beloued, seeing ye know these thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse.
Nambo ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu, mmasile kuimanyilila chile ayi. Nlilolechesye kuti nkalyungasikwa ni uwonasi wa majiganyo gangalumbana ga ŵandu ŵangakugajitichisya malajisyo kuti nkagwa kutyochela mu aila indu inkuikulupilila.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be glory both now and for euermore. Amen. (aiōn )
Nambo njendelechele kukula mu umbone wa Akunnungu, ni iyoyo mu nkwamanyilila Ambuje ni Nkulupusyo jwetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Kwa ŵelewo uŵe ukulu sambano namose moŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn )
