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]
lino nikukulembela uve ghwe mughanike ikalata iji ja vuvili neke kukusimula ku luhala,
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,
neke kuuti uwesie kukumbuka amasio ghanoghakajovilue ye vakyale avavili avimike ni ndaghilo ja Mutwa ghwitu nu mpoki kwa kutumila avasung'hwa.
3 knowing this first, that there will come scoffers in the last days, going on according to their own desires,
ukagule ili taasi, kuuti avakaning'hani vilikwisa mu fighono fya vusililo kukuvakana umue, na kulutila palikimo ni noghelua saavo.
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”;
na kuposia kuuti lulikughi ulufingo lwa kugomoka? avaatwa viitu valyafwile, na fi finu fyoni filyale nahele kuhuma muvwandilo vwa vuvumbi.
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,
vakahwene vasyemilue kuuti iisi na kukyanya fikatengwile kuhumila mu malenga, ku lisio lya Nguluve.
6 through which the world then, having been flooded by water, was destroyed;
na kuuti ilisio lyake na malenga jikava iisi ku n'siki ughuo, ndeve jikamemile amalenga jikanangika.
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.
neke lino kukyanya na pa iisi sivikilue ku lisio lililio vwimila umwoto. fivikilue vwimila ikighono kya kuhighua na kubudua vano nava Nguluve.
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;
vaghanike iji najilikwepesia imhola jaako, kuuti ikighono kimo kwa Mutwa ghahwene maka... na maka... kihwene kighono kimo.
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,
nakwekuti uMutwa ivomba lukeluke kumalikisia ulufingo, ndavule fino tusagha kuuti fye luliiva, neke umwene nya lugudo vwimila jiinu umwene nainoghelua nambe jumonga afue, neke inoghelua kukwongelesia un'siku kuuti mweni mukave kulaata.
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.
nambe ikighono kya Nguluve kilikwisa hwene mulyasi, in'kyanya... jilikila kwa kutosia ikelele... ifinu vilinyanyua nu mwoto. iisi ni finu fyoni fino mwefile filiiva pavuvalafu.
11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be in holy behaviors and pious acts,
ulwakuva ifinu fyoni filibudua ku sila iji, pe ghuliva muunhu muki kukukala mwimike mu vwumi vwa Nguluve.
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?
lutuvaghiile kukagula ng'haaning'haani lwake, uvwisilo vwa kighono kwa Nguluve. ikighono ikio kilinyanyua nu mwoto. ni finu filiyeyuka nu lufuke ulukali.
13 And we wait for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness dwells;
neke kuhumilanila nu lufingo lwake, tughula in'kyanya imia ni iisi imia pano avanyakyang'hani vilikukala.
14 for this reason, beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, to be found by Him in peace,
lino vaghanike ulwakuva tuhuvila ifinu ifi, mwitange kuva maaso kange kisila lupikano na kuuva nu lughano palikino nu mwene.
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,
na kugadilila ulugudo lwa Mutwa ghwitu mu vuvangi, ndavule lumbu liitu u Paulo vule akavalembile umue, kuhumilanila mu vukoola vuno akapelilue.
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.
UPaulo ijova isio sooni mu kalata sake, kuli ni fiinu fino fyumu kukwelevua. avaanhu avasila sooni nu vukangafu vafinanginie ifinu ifio, ndavule vivomba mu malembe kulutila uvufue vwave....
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,
lino vaghanike ulwakuva mukagwile aghuo, mujimililaghe jumue neke kuuti namungasyanguaghe nu vusyangi va vadesi na kusofia uvunywilifu.
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)
pepano mukulaghe mu vumosi nu vumanyi vwa Mutwa nu m'poki ghitu uYesu Kilisite. kange uvwimike vuli nu mwene lino nifighono fyoni. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
