2 Peter 1
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
Simone Pitolosi, muhikana ni mu apositola wa Jesu Keresite, kwavo vava tambuli intumelo ya vutokwa i swana uvu neswe hatu va i tabuli, intumero mu ku chena kwa Ireza ni Muhazi Jesu Keresite.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Chishemo ni nkozo chi werwe cha ku pima mu maano a Ireza ni Jesu Simwine wetu.
3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;
Zintu zonse ku amana maata a hitilila cha vuhalo ni vu Ireza ziva hewa kwetu cha maano a Ireza, ya vatu sumpili che nkanya yakwe ni vulotu.
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
Chezi, ava tuhi insepiso i ndotu ni vukando, njikuti muve mu vatambuli ku nkavero ya vwikalo vulotu, uvu hamuva lovoki ku vuchengeleli vwina mu nkanda kevaka lwa ntakazo imbi.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
Cheli ivaka, muchite cha kulikoza kuku kondisa che ntumelo yenu, ni cha ku kondisa kwenu, maano.
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
Cha maano enu, mu were kuli yendisa, mi kuku liyendisa kwenu, muwere kuli koza, mi mu kuli koza kwenu, mu were vu ireza.
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
Cha vu ireza vwenu, mu were ku zuminzana chense, mi mu ku zuminzana chense kwenu, mu were irato.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Chikuti izi zintu zina mwenu ni ku kula mwenu, kete muve vavulite zintu kamba kusa vika zihantu mu maano a Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
Kono yense yo vulite izi zintu u vona feela china hafuhi; ka voni. Chava zivali za ku jolozwa kuzwa ku zivi zakwe za kale.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Lyahanu, vakwangu, mu wongoze ku chita ku sumpwa kwenu ni buketwa vwenu mu vuli kolwisise. Ha mu chita izi zintu, kete mu chunchule.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Cheyi inzila menjililo mu muvuso wa kuya kuile ya Simwine wetu ni Muhazi Jesu Keresite mu zi hewe kwenu cha ku fuma. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
Kuzwaho mu ni kuli tukiseze kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ni ha kwina kuti mu zizi, mi nanga mu kolete kale mu vuniti hanu.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
Ni zeza kuti ku shiyeme kwangu ku mi kundunga cha kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ha ni sina mwelinu itente.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
Mukuti nizi kuti hahanu kani zwise itente lyangu, uvu nji Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite mwavani tondelezi.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Kani li koze chenu kuti muku zeza inako yonse chezi zintu nanga cina hita.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Mukuti kana tu ve chilili cha vutali matangu akulipangila hatu va mi wambili za ziho ni kuli vonahaza kwa Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite. Kono, tuva paki cha menso za vukando vwakwe.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Mukuti ava tambuli kuzwa kwa Ireza Ishwetu ku kutekwa ni nkanya liinzwi haliva letwa kwali che nkanya ikando ni icho, “Uzu mwanangu, u sakahala, cakwe ni sangite sinte.”
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Tu va zuwi ili liinzwi liva zwi mwi wulu, hatu vena naye he lindu li chena.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:
Twina ili liinzwi lwa chiporofita liva nitihazwa. Mu chita sinte ku twala ko maano. Li kola uvu ilambi li munika mu civaka che fifi hesi hakwiza kakusasani mi inkani ya kakusasana i zwa mu nkulo zenu.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
Mwi zive ichi tanzi, kuti kakwina chiporofita chete nichi torokwe muntu umwina.
21 For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Mukuti kawina ciporofita chivati chichiza che ntakazo yo muntu. Kono, vantu va hinditwe cha luhoho lu jolola lu wambitwe kuzwa kwa Ireza.
