< 2 Peter 3 >
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
Waganja wangu, alu vinu ndo luhamba lwa pili lwanuwalembera. Mumahamba aga mawili njeriti kuyumusiya nfiru ziherepa mumahala genu kwa kuwaholuziya vitwatira avi.
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Master and Saviour:
Nfira muviholi visoweru vyavilongitwi makashu na wambuyi wananagala wa Mlungu, na lilagaliru lilii lyawapananitwi na Mtuwa na Mlopoziya kupitira wantumintumi wenu.
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
Pamberi pa aga, mfiruwa kuvimana kuwera mashaka ga upeleru hawizi wantu weni magenderanu gawu gakolwamlima na matamata zyawu zidoda, na hawawabezi.
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Womberi hawalongi, “Yomberi kawalagiliti kuwera hakizi, su vinu kakoshi? Vitwatira ndo viraa virii kwanjira wambuyi wetu pawahowiti, vintu ndo viraa virii ntambu yaviweriti kwanja pa kuwumbwa pasipanu!”
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of YHWH the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Womberi kwa ng'anji wawulekiti unanaka awu kuwera Mlungu katakuliti shisoweru, mpindi ziweriti kwanjira makashu na pasipanu panyawitwi kulawa mumashi,
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
na Mlungu kagalagiliriti mafuriku ga mashi gahalibisiyi pasipanu pa makashu.
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 wicked men.
Kumbiti kwa shisoweru shilaa ashi mpindi zya vinu na pasipanu zitulwa kwajili ya kuhalibisiwa kwa motu, pazitulwa mpaka lishaka lilii lya kuwatoza na kuwagamiziya wantu yawamguwira ndiri Mlungu.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with YHWH as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Waganja wangu, kumbiti namulyaluwa shintu shimu! Kulongolu kwa Mtuwa, lishaka limu liwera gambira vinja elufu yimu na vinja elufu yimu iwera gambira lishaka limu.
9 YHWH is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Mtuwa kakawa ndiri kugatenda galii gakalagiliti gambira wantu wamonga ntambu yawalihola kuwera hakakawi. Yomberi kahepelera toziya ya mwenga, toziya kafira ndiri ata yumu gwenu kagamiri, kumbiti kawakwega woseri wapati kuleka vidoda vyawatenda.
10 But the day of YHWH will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Kumbiti lishaka lya Mtuwa halizi gambira shimpegu. Mpindi haziyagamiri kwa lirindimiru likulu, na kila shintu sha kulyera hashagamiziwi kwa motu, na pasipanu na kila shintu shashiweramu havilekwi hera.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and reverence,
Toziya kila shintu hashiharabisiwi kwa ntambu ayi, su mwenga hamuweri wantu wantambu gaa? Mwenga mfiruwa kulikala makaliru mananagala na kumjimira Mlungu na kumpanana ligoya,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of YHWH, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
pamulihepa lishaka lilii lya Mlungu na kulitenda lizi kanongola, lishaka lyeni mpindi hazilunguziwi nakamu kwa motu na kuhalibisiwa, na vintu vya kulyera haviyeyuki kwa livuki.
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Kumbiti kulawirana na lagila lya Mlungu, twankuhepa kuwera hakuweri na mpindi ya syayi na pasipanu pa syayi, pahala pa wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Waganja wangu, pamuwera mwankulihepa lishaka lilii, mgangamali mukuherepa nentu pota na likosa lyoseri kulongolu kwa Mlungu, na kuwera na ponga nayomberi.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Master is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
Mwenga mfiruwa kuwona uhepelera wa Mtuwa kuwera ndo lupenu lyakawapanana su mpati kulopoziwa gambira Paulu mlongu gwetu yatumfira ntambu yakawalembiriti kwa luhala lyakapananitwi na Mlungu.
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Yomberi kalembiti shintu shilaa shilii mumahamba goseri pakavilongera vitwatira avi. Mumahamba gakuwi galii kwana vitwatira vyamonga vyavikamala kuvimana, wantu yawawera wazigizigi na yawagangamala ndiri ntambu yawagalambula mana ya Malembu Mananagala gamonga, su wagapotuziya kwa magomiziwu gawu weni.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Kumbiti kwa mwenga walongu wangu, mushimaniti kala shitwatira ashi. Su mulikali weri namwiza kupotuziwa na mafundu ga makosa ga wantu yawagajimira ndiri malagaliru na kuguwa kulawa muwugangamala wenu uherepa.
18 But grow in favour, and in the knowledge of our Master and Saviour Yahushua the Messiah. To him be glory both now and for ever. amein. (aiōn )
Kumbiti mwendereyi kukula mumanemu na kumumana Mtuwa na Mlopoziya gwetu Yesu Kristu. Ukwisa uweri kwakuwi, vinu na ata mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn )
