2 Peter 3
1 This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,
Nambeambe, nendakukuandikiya wenga, mpendwa yee barua ya ibele ili kukuamsha katika akili,
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.
ili panga uweze kombokya maneno galongelwa kabla na manabii batakatifu na kuhusu amri ya Ngwana witu na mkochopoli kwa tumya mitume.
3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,
Ulitange lee kwanza, panga basaliti baisa katika masoba ga mwisho kubasaliti mwenga, kabayenda sawasawa na malengo gabe.
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.
Na pababaya, “Ibile kwaako ahadi ya kerebuka? Tate bitu bawile, Lakini ilebe yote ibile nyoo tangu mwanzo wa uumbaji.
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.
Mana bapangite kati basahau panga nnema ni kumaunde itumbwilwe bokana na mase na pitya mase zamani za kale, kwa neno lya Nnongo,
6 Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
na panga pitya neno lyake na mase gapangite ga ulimwengu kwa kipindi chelo, mana itei imejaa mase, itiharibika.
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.
Lakini nambeambe kumaunde na nnema itunzwile kwa neno lelo lelo kwa ajili ya mwoti. Yatihifadhiwa kwa ajili ya lisoba lya hukumu na maangamizi ga bandu babile kwaa Nnongo.
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.
Ayee iweza kwaa kuuchenga ujumbe wako, mwapendwile, panga lisoba limo kwa ngwana ni kati miaka elfu jimo. Na miaka elfu moja ni kati lisoba 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.
Ayee panga kwaa Ngwana apanga mbole mbole kutimiza ahadi, kati yaifikiriwa kuwa, Lakini ywembe ni mvumilivu kwa ajili yinu, ywembe utamani kwaa hata yumo aangamie. Lakini utamaniya kutoa muda ili bote bapate kutubu.
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.
Ingawa, lisoba lya Ngwana ipangike kati mwii, kumaunde yapeta kwa kukombwa lilobe. Ilebe yalowa tiniwa mwoto. Nchi ni ilebe yote ibile yalowa bekwa wazi.
11 Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
Kwa kuwa ilebe yote vyalowa teketea kwa ndela yee. Je wapangika mundu wa aina gani? Utame kitakatifu na maisha ga ki'Nngongo.
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?
Upalikwa kutanga na kuyowa haraka ujio wa lisoba lya Nnongo. Lisoba lee kumaunde kwalowa teketezwa kwa mwoto. Na ilebe yalowayeyuka katika lyoto kali.
13 But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.
Lakini bokana na ahadi yake, twalenda liunde lyayambe na nnema wayambe, ambapo wabile mu haki walowa tama.
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.
Nga nyo bapendwa kwa mana twatarajia ilebe yee, jitahidi kuwa makini na laumiwa kwaa na kuwa na amani pamope niywembe.
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,
Uzingatie uvumilivu wa Ngwana witu katika ukochopoli, kati mpendwa muinja witu Paulo, ywaandikiya mwenga, bokana na hekima ambayo apeyilwe.
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.
Paulo alongela kuhusu ago gote katika barua yake, kubile ni ilebe ambayo ni igumu kuitanga. Bandu babile kwaa na adamu na uimara bativiharibu ilebe nga nyo, Na mana bapangite kwa maandiki. Kueleka maangamizi yabembe.
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.
Nga nyo, apendwa kwa kuwa mugatangite ago. Mujilinde bene ili panga kana mupotoshwe na abocho wa balaghai na kupoteza uaminifu.
The World is Destroyed by Water
