2 Peter 1
1 Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God, and the Saviour Jesus Christ:
Simoni Petro, muranda nemuapositori waJesu Kristu, kune avo vakawana rutendo rwunokosha rwakafanana nerwedu mukururama kwaMwari wedu neMuponesi wedu Jesu Kristu:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.
Nyasha nerugare ngazviwanzwe kwamuri paruzivo rwaMwari nerwaJesu Ishe wedu.
3 Seeing that his Divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness;
Sesimba rake reuMwari rakatipa zvinhu zvese zveupenyu nekunamata Mwari kubudikidza neruzivo rwaiye wakatidana kubudikidza nekubwinya uye kunaka;
4 through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust;
akatipa nazvo zvivimbiso zvikurusa uye zvinokosha; kuti naizvozvi muve vagovani vechizvarirwo cheuMwari, mapukunyuka kuora kuri panyika kubudikidza nekuchiva.
5 even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge,
Zvino nekuda kweizviwo maita kushingaira kwese, wedzerai parutendo rwenyu kunaka, nepakunaka ruzivo,
6 and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control endurance, and to endurance godliness,
neparuzivo kuzvidzora, nepakuzvidzora moyo murefu, nepamoyo murefu kunamata Mwari,
7 and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
nepakunamata Mwari rudo rwehama, neparudo rwehama, rudo.
8 For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nokuti kana zvinhu izvi zviri mamuri, uye zvichiwanda, hazvikuitii vasingashandi kana vanoshaiwa zvibereko pakuziva Ishe wedu, Jesu Kristu.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
Nokuti asina zvinhu izvi, ibofu, anoonera pedo, wakanganwa kunatswa kwezvivi zvake zvekare.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will never fall.
Naizvozvo, hama, shingairai zvikuru kusimbisa kudanwa nekusanangurwa kwenyu; nokuti kana muchiita zvinhu izvi hamungatongogumburwi narinhi.
11 For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Nokuti saizvozvo muchawedzerwa zvakanyanya kupinda muushe husingaperi hwaIshe wedu neMuponesi Jesu Kristu. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.
Naizvozvo handingashaiwi hanya nekukuyeudzirai zvinhu izvi nguva dzese, kunyange muchiziva, uye makasimbiswa pachokwadi chiripo.
13 Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;
Uye ndinoona zvakanaka kuti kana ndichingori mutabhenakeri ino chete ndikumutsei nechiyeuchidzo;
14 knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me.
ndichiziva kuti kunokurumidza kubviswa kwetabhenakeri yangu, Ishe wedu Jesu Kristuwo sezvaakandiratidza.
15 Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.
Asi neni ndichashingaira kuti nguva dzese shure kwekuenda kwangu muve nechiyeuchidzo chezvinhu izvi.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eye-witnesses of his majesty.
Nokuti hatina kutevera ngano dzakarukwa nenjere patakakuzivisai simba nekuuya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, asi takange tiri vakazvionera kubwinya kwake.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice as this was borne to him from the excellent glory: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Nokuti wakagamuchira kubva kuna Mwari Baba rukudzo nekubwinya, inzwi rakadai parakasvika kwaari pakubwinya kukuru-kuru richiti: Uyu Mwanakomana wangu anodika, wandinofara maari ini;
18 And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him in the holy mount.
uye inzwi iri isu takarinzwa richibva kudenga pataiva naye mugomo dzvene.
19 And we have more sure the prophetic word, to which ye do well in taking heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts;
Uye tine shoko rakasimba kwazvo rechiporofita, ramunoita zvakanaka muchirichenjerera sekumwenje unovhenekera panzvimbo ine rima, kusvikira utonga huchitsvuka, nenyamasase ichibudira mumoyo yenyu;
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture cometh from private interpretation.
muchiziva izvi pakutanga, kuti hakuna chiporofita cherugwaro chinobva mududziro yemwene wacho.
21 For prophecy never came by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.
Nokuti hakuna kumbouyiswa chiporofita nechido chemunhu, asi vanhu vatsvene vaMwari vakataura vachisundwa neMweya Mutsvene.
