2 Peter 1
1 To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
Simoni Petro, Mmanda na mtume wa Yesu Kristo, kwa balo baipokile imani yeyelo ya thamani kati twaipokile twenga, imani yaibile nkati ya haki ya Nnongo na mwokozi witu Yesu Kristo.
2 May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
Neema ibe kwinu, amani iyongeyekeye pitya maarifa ga Nnongo na Ngwana witu Yesu.
3 For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
Pitya maarifa ga Nnongo tupatike makowe gake yote kwa ajili ya uchaji wa maisha. Boka kwa Nnongo ywatukemile kwa ajili ya uzuru wa utukufu wake.
4 For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
Kwa ndela yee atitutumanisha ahadi ngolo ya thamani. Apangite nyoo ili kutupanga barithi ba asili ya Nnongo, kwa kadiri tuyendelya kuuleka ubou wa dunia yee.
5 Yes, and for this reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
Kwa sababu yee, mupange bidii kuongeza uzuri kwa ndela ya imani yinu, kwa sababu ya uzuri, maarifa.
6 knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
Pitya maarifa, kiasi, pitya kiasi saburi, na pitya saburi utauwa.
7 piety by mutual affection, and mutual affection by love.
Pitya utuwa upendo wa alongo na pitya upendo wa alongo, upendo.
8 For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mana makowe aga gabile nkati yinu, yayendelya kukua nkati yinu, bai mwenga mwapangika kwaa tasa au bandu babeleka kwaa matunda katika maarifa ga Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
9 Surely the person who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that they have been purified from their sins of the past!
Lakini yeyote ywabile kwaa na makowe aga, ugabona makowe ga papipi kae; ywembe nga ipofu, atisahau utakaso ba sambi yake ya kale.
10 Therefore, friends, do your best to put God’s call and selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
Kwa eyo, alongo bango, mupange juhudi ili kujihakikishia uteule na wito kwa ajili yinu. Kati mugapanga aga, mwalowa kuikwaa.
11 For in this way you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Nga nyoo mwaipatia bingi ba nnango wa jingya katika upwalume wangayomoka wa Ngwana witu na nkochopoli Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
12 I will, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the truth that you now hold.
Kwa eyo nenga nalowa pangika tayari kuwakombokya makowe aga kila mara, hata kama mwayatanga, nambeambe mubile imara katika kweli.
13 But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this “tent,” to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
Nawaza kuwa nibile sahihi kubaamsha na kuwakombokya nnani ya makowe aga, ningali nibile nkati ya hema lee.
14 for I know that the time for this “tent” of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
Kwa mana nitangite kuwa muda kwaa mrefu nalowa liondoa lihema lyango, kati Ngwana Yesu Kristo atubonekeya.
15 So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
Nalowa jitahidi kwa bidii kwa ajili yinu ili mkombokeye makowe aga baada ya nenga kuboka.
16 For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.
Kwa mana twenga twafata kwaa hadithi zatijingya kwa ustadi palo patulongela nnani ya ngupu na kujidhihirisha kwa Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo, ila twenga tubile mashahidi ba utukufu wake.
17 For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when from the glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these – “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy.”
Ywembe ywapokile utukufu na heshima boka kwa Nnongo tate palo lilobe liyowanike boka katika utukufu nkolo yatibaya.”Ayoo nga mwana wango, mpendwa wango ambaye ywatipendezwa niywembe.”
18 These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from heaven, when we were with him on that sacred mountain.
Tuyowine lilobe lee iboka kumaunde palo tubile niywembe katika chelo kitombe kitakatifu.
19 And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Tubile ni lee neno lya unabii lyalithibitike, ambalo kwa lee mwapanga vyema kuliteketeza. Kati taa ya'ing'ara mulibendo mpaka bwamba na ndondwa ga mawio zatibonekana katika mioyo yinu.
20 But first be assured of this: There is no prophetic teaching found in scripture that can be interpreted by a person’s unaided reason;
Mutangite aga panga, ntopo unabii wauandikilwe kwa sababu ya kuwaza mwabene kwa nabii mwene.
21 for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of people, but people, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
Kwa mana ntopo unabii wabile kwa mapenzi ga bandu, ila bandu bapangilwe na Roho mtakatifu ywalongela boka kwa Nnongo.
