2 Peter 3
1 This [is] now, beloved, a second letter I write to you, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you]
Hanu, Ni ñolela inwe, vasakiwa, ili iñolo lyo vuveli lye nkupuzo mu ku ndunga vuniti bwa muhupulo wenu,
2 to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior,
nji kuti muzeze manzwi ava wambwiwa ku masule ni vapolofita va jolola ni intaelo ya Simwine wetu ni Muhazi ya vahewa cha va apositola.
3 knowing this first, that there will come scoffers in the last days, going on according to their own desires,
Mwizive ichi intanzi, kuti vasheununi kaveze mu mazuva a mamaninikizo. Ka vasheunune ni kuzwila havusu ku ya chentakazo zavo vene.
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation”;
Kavati, “Inahi insepiso ya kuvola kwa kwe? Kuzwa vazazi vetu ha valala, zintu zonse zivekali muswana, ku zwa ku matangilo a ku vumbwa.”
5 for this they willingly conceal, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth having been established by the word of God out of water and through water,
Ka vazivale kavomu kuti mawulu ni hansi zi vezi kuva cha kuzwa mu menzi mi ni cha menzi, kuzwililila uko, che ntaelo ya Ireza,
6 through which the world then, having been flooded by water, was destroyed;
mi ka chezi zintu, inkanda ye yina inako iva sinyiwa, cha ku miniswa ni menzi.
7 and by the same word, the present heavens and earth, having been stored up for fire, are being preserved until [the] day of judgment and destruction of impious men.
Kono hanu mawulu ni hansi zi vikilwe kwiza ku hiswa ni mulilo che ntaelo iswana. Zi vikilwe izuva lye nkatulo mi ni insinyeho kwa vantu va sena Ireza.
8 And do not let this one thing be concealed from you, beloved, that one day with the LORD [is] as one thousand years and one thousand years as one day;
Kanzi mukangwa ku lemuha, vasakiwa, kuti izuva lyonke kwa Simwine likolovu lule lwa mwazuva, mi mazuva ena lule a kolovu izuva lyonke.
9 the LORD is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not intending any to be lost, but all to come to conversion,
Simwine ka yendi cha kulyehi ku ya che sepiso zakwe, sina vamwi ha vaindinda cha kulyeha mukuva. Kono, inkulonde kwenu. Kalakazi ni heva zumwi kwenu ku sinyeha, kono kuyense ave ni chivaka cha kuvaka.
10 and it will come—the Day of the LORD—as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements will be dissolved with burning heat, and [the] earth and the works in it will not be found.
Nihakuvavulyo, izuva lya Simwine kalize uvu musa: mawulu ka zihite ni muhuwo we lata. Mi zintu kazi zihiswe ni mulilo, mi hansi ni mitendo zina mwateni ka zipatululwe.
11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be in holy behaviors and pious acts,
Sina zonse izi zintu kazi sinyehe mweyi inzila, kamuve muvantu venavule? Mulukela kuhala vuhalo vu jolola ni mihalilo ya vu ireza.
12 waiting for and hurrying the coming of the Day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with burning heat?
Mu swanela ku lindila ni kuhwelisa kwiza kwe izuva lya Ireza. Helyo zuva, mawulu kasinyiwe cha mulilo, mi zivumbatu kazi wanjumuke mwi ijeje ikando.
13 And we wait for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness dwells;
Kono chakuya che insepiso yakwe, tulindile mawulu mahya ni hansi hahya, mwete kuve ni kuluka.
14 for this reason, beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, to be found by Him in peace,
Kuzwaho, vasakiwa, sina hamulindile izi zintu, muchite mu muwolela muwanike ni musena kavala ku sanyazahala havusu vwake, mwinkozo.
15 and count the long-suffering of our Lord [as] salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul—according to the wisdom given to him—wrote to you,
Hape, muzeze inkulonde ya Simwine wetu cha kuhazwa, sina mwena mwetu Paulusi yosakahana ha va miñoleli, chakuya cha vutali vuvahewa kwali.
16 as also in all the letters, speaking in them concerning these things, among which are some things [that are] hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable twist, as also the other Writings, to their own destruction.
Paulusi uwamba chezi zintu muwonse mañolo akwe, muali mwina zintu zi kukutu ku kuzizuwisisa. Vakwame va sezi mi ni va sawondeki mwezi zintu, sina havapanga vulyo zimwi intimana, kwi insinyeho yavo.
17 You, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, you may fall from your own steadfastness,
Kuzwaho, vasakiwa, sina hamwizi izi zintu, mulivukeleze njikuti kanzi muzwiswa cha vuchengi bwa vantu vafokola mi muzovelwe ku sepahala kwenu.
18 and increase in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; to Him [is] the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kono mukule mu chishemo ni nzivo ya Simwine ni Muhazi wetu Jesu Kirisite. Mi ikanya ive kwali konse hanu ni kuya kuvusu uko. Kuvevulyo! (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
