2 Peter 3
1 This second letter, beloved, I now write to you, in both which I stir up your pure minds by putting you in remembrance;
Nambeambe, nendakukuandikiya wenga, mpendwa yee barua ya ibele ili kukuamsha katika akili,
2 that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;
ili panga uweze kombokya maneno galongelwa kabla na manabii batakatifu na kuhusu amri ya Ngwana witu na mkochopoli kwa tumya mitume.
3 knowing this first, that there will come in the last days open scoffers following their own lusts,
Ulitange lee kwanza, panga basaliti baisa katika masoba ga mwisho kubasaliti mwenga, kabayenda sawasawa na malengo gabe.
4 and saying, Where is his promised coming? for, from the time when the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as then, and as they have continued from the beginning of the creation.
Na pababaya, “Ibile kwaako ahadi ya kerebuka? Tate bitu bawile, Lakini ilebe yote ibile nyoo tangu mwanzo wa uumbaji.
5 For of this they are willingly ignorant, that of old by the word of God there were heavens, and an earth formed out of the water and by the water,
Mana bapangite kati basahau panga nnema ni kumaunde itumbwilwe bokana na mase na pitya mase zamani za kale, kwa neno lya Nnongo,
6 by means of which the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished;
na panga pitya neno lyake na mase gapangite ga ulimwengu kwa kipindi chelo, mana itei imejaa mase, itiharibika.
7 but the present heavens and the present earth are by his word kept in store, reserved for fire against the day of judgment and the perdition of ungodly men.
Lakini nambeambe kumaunde na nnema itunzwile kwa neno lelo lelo kwa ajili ya mwoti. Yatihifadhiwa kwa ajili ya lisoba lya hukumu na maangamizi ga bandu babile kwaa Nnongo.
8 But forget not, beloved, this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Ayee iweza kwaa kuuchenga ujumbe wako, mwapendwile, panga lisoba limo kwa ngwana ni kati miaka elfu jimo. Na miaka elfu moja ni kati lisoba limo.
9 The Lord is not tardy concerning his promise, as some men count tardiness; but is long-suffering toward you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Ayee panga kwaa Ngwana apanga mbole mbole kutimiza ahadi, kati yaifikiriwa kuwa, Lakini ywembe ni mvumilivu kwa ajili yinu, ywembe utamani kwaa hata yumo aangamie. Lakini utamaniya kutoa muda ili bote bapate kutubu.
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 melt with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein will be burned up.
Ingawa, lisoba lya Ngwana ipangike kati mwii, kumaunde yapeta kwa kukombwa lilobe. Ilebe yalowa tiniwa mwoto. Nchi ni ilebe yote ibile yalowa bekwa wazi.
11 Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conduct and godliness,
Kwa kuwa ilebe yote vyalowa teketea kwa ndela yee. Je wapangika mundu wa aina gani? Utame kitakatifu na maisha ga ki'Nngongo.
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat!
Upalikwa kutanga na kuyowa haraka ujio wa lisoba lya Nnongo. Lisoba lee kumaunde kwalowa teketezwa kwa mwoto. Na ilebe yalowayeyuka katika lyoto kali.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Lakini bokana na ahadi yake, twalenda liunde lyayambe na nnema wayambe, ambapo wabile mu haki walowa tama.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, be diligent that ye may be found without spot and blameless before him in peace,
Nga nyo bapendwa kwa mana twatarajia ilebe yee, jitahidi kuwa makini na laumiwa kwaa na kuwa na amani pamope niywembe.
15 and account the long-suffering of our Lord salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,
Uzingatie uvumilivu wa Ngwana witu katika ukochopoli, kati mpendwa muinja witu Paulo, ywaandikiya mwenga, bokana na hekima ambayo apeyilwe.
16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which things are some that are hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as also the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Paulo alongela kuhusu ago gote katika barua yake, kubile ni ilebe ambayo ni igumu kuitanga. Bandu babile kwaa na adamu na uimara bativiharibu ilebe nga nyo, Na mana bapangite kwa maandiki. Kueleka maangamizi yabembe.
17 Do ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things beforehand, beware lest, being led away with the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own steadfastness.
Nga nyo, apendwa kwa kuwa mugatangite ago. Mujilinde bene ili panga kana mupotoshwe na abocho wa balaghai na kupoteza uaminifu.
The World is Destroyed by Water
