2 Peter 3
1 Beloved, this second epistle I now write to you, in which epistles I stir up your sincere mind to remembrance:
nikulembela bhebhe, n'ganwa ej'he barua j'ha bhubhele ili kukujhumusya mu luhala,
2 to be mindful of the words before spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour.
ubhusiaghe kukhomboka malobhi agha ghaghajobhiki kabla ni manabii bhatakatifu ni kuhusu amri j'ha Bwana gwitu na mwokozi kwa kutumila mitume.
3 Knowing this first, that scoffers will come in the last days, walking after their own lusts,
ili kubhwandelu mana bhasaliti bhibhetakuhida mu ligono lya mwishu kubhasaliti muenga kyabhilota sawasawa ni matakwa ghabhu.
4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as at the beginning of the creation.
bhakajobhai “J'hij'henda ku ahadi j'ha kukherebhuka? Bha tata bhitu bhafwili, Lakini fenu fyoha fyaj'hele efu kuhomela kubhwandelu mwa bhuumbaji.
5 But this willfully escapes them, that, by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth subsisting from the water, and by water:
kuj'ha nchi ni mbingu fya j'handili naha kuhoma ni masi ni kup'hetela masi muandi muni, kwa litobhi lya litobhi lya k'yara,
6 by which the world that then was, being deluged with water, perished.
kwamba kup'hetela litobhi lyake na masi ghakawa bhulimwengu kaw kipindi e'khu, ikibhwa j'himemili masi, j'haharibibhu.
7 But the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured up, being kept for fire to a day of judgment, and destruction of ungodly men.
henu mbingu ni dunia situnzibhu kwa litobhi leluelu kwa ndabha j'ha muoto. Fihifadhibhu kwa ndabha j'ha ligono lya hukumu ni maj'hangamisi gha bhanu bhabhabeli kuj'ha bha k'yara.
8 But this one thing, let it not escape you, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
j'hibhuesya lepi kuchenga bhujumbe bhwaku, bhaganwa, ligono limonga kwa bwana ni kama miaka elfu moja. Ni miaka elfu moja ni kama ligono limonga.
9 The Lord does not delay his promise in the manner some account delaying; but he exercises long-suffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to reformation.
Sio kuj'ha Bwana iphomba molimoli kutimisya ahadi syake, kama kyaj'hifikiribhwa kuj'ha, Lakini muene mvumilivu kwandabha j'hinu, muene ilonda lepi hata mmonga ajhabgamilai, Lakini itamani kuhomesya muda ili bhoha bhakabhaghe kutubu.
10 However, as thief, the day of the Lord will come; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements burning shall be dissolved; and the earth, and the works that are upon it, shall be utterly burned.
ligono lya Bwana libetakuhida kama mmeji, mbingu j'hibeta kup'heta kwa kukuesya njuegho. Fenu fibeta kuteketesibhwa kwa muoto. Nchi ni fenu fioha fibetakufunulibhwa bhwasi.
11 Seeing, then, all these things shall be dissolved; --what sort of persons ought you to be, in holy behavior and godliness,
kuj'ha fenu fiyoha fibetakutekesibhwa kwa nj'hela ej'he, Je, ghwibeta kuj'ha munu ghwa aina gani? Utamaj'hi kitakatifu ni maisha gha kimungu.
12 expecting and earnestly desiring, the coming of the day of God; in which the heavens being set on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning, shall be melted?
kumanya ni kutambula haraka ujio bha ligono lya k'yara. Ligono e'lu mbingu j'hibetakuteketesibhwa ni muoto. Ni fenu fibetakuyeyuka ni joto likali.
13 But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens, and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness.
kutokana ni ahadi syake, twilendela mbingu nyipya ni nchi nyipya, ambapo bhenye haki bhib'heta kutama.
14 Wherefore, beloved, expecting these things, diligently endeavor to be found of him spotless, and irreproachable, in peace.
kwa kuj'ha twitarajila fenu efe, mwikwitangaghe kuj'ha makini ni kutokulaumika ni kuj'ha ni amani pamonga nu muene.
15 And reckon the long-suffering of our Lord, to be for salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you.
zingatilai bhuvumilivu bhwa Bwana ghwitu mu bhwokovu, kama n'ganwa ndombo bhitu Paulo, kyaabhalembili muenga, kutokana ni luhala lwa apelibhu.
16 As, indeed, in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things: in which there are some things hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
ilongelela agha ghoha mu barua syake, kuna fenu ambafyo ni figumu kufij'helebhwa. Bhanu bhabhaduli adabu ni bhuimara bhafyonangili fenu efu, Na kama kya bhibhomba ku maandiko. kulot'ela maangamizi ghabhu.
17 Therefore, beloved, foreknowing these things, be on your guard; lest being also carried away by the deceit of the lawless, you fall from your own steadfastness.
bhaganwa kwa kuj'ha mughamanyili aghu. Mwikilenda mwibhene ili kuj'ha mkatakupotosibhwa ni bhudesi bhwa bhalaghai ni kubhajhasya bhuaminifu.
The World is Destroyed by Water
