2 Peter 3
1 This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
Waganja wangu, alu vinu ndo luhamba lwa pili lwanuwalembera. Mumahamba aga mawili njeriti kuyumusiya nfiru ziherepa mumahala genu kwa kuwaholuziya vitwatira avi.
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles:
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 in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and 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, from the day that 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 willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
Womberi kwa ng'anji wawulekiti unanaka awu kuwera Mlungu katakuliti shisoweru, mpindi ziweriti kwanjira makashu na pasipanu panyawitwi kulawa mumashi,
6 by which means the world that then was, being deluged with water, was destroyed.
na Mlungu kagalagiliriti mafuriku ga mashi gahalibisiyi pasipanu pa makashu.
7 But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
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 do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord 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 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient toward you, not wishing 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 the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works on it will not be found.
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 Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
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 earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will 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 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Kumbiti kulawirana na lagila lya Mlungu, twankuhepa kuwera hakuweri na mpindi ya syayi na pasipanu pa syayi, pahala pa wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
Waganja wangu, pamuwera mwankulihepa lishaka lilii, mgangamali mukuherepa nentu pota na likosa lyoseri kulongolu kwa Mlungu, na kuwera na ponga nayomberi.
15 Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to 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 of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to 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 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
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.
The Great Flood
