2 Peter 3
1 This, dear friends, is my second letter to you. In both of them I have tried, by appealing to your remembrance, to arouse your better feelings.
Ulu ni huhosimbila uve vigane ekalata yavile ili uhu kamelesia katiha uluhala,
2 I want you to recall what was foretold by the holy prophets, as well as the command of our Lord and Savior given to you through your apostles.
ili uweswe uhukomboha amamenyu agajoviwe kabula unya malago uKlisite nuhuhusu indagelo cha upohi vito uvihu tupoha uvitumela avakongi.
3 First be assured of this, that, as the age draws to an end, scoffers, led by their own passions,
Uwelewe huwanjo uhuta avitulanongwa kihwicha hu sihu icha humwisio uhuva changanya yumwe vu viluta ni amli cha vene.
4 will come and ask scoffingly – ‘Where is his promised coming? Ever since our ancestors passed to their rest, everything remains just as it was when the world was first created!’
Nichova uhuta yele ndahu uludehano ulwa huki livuha dada veto vafuile lakini ifinu ivi vyahumile huwanja uhwavumbile.
5 For they willfully shut their eyes to the fact that long ago the heavens existed; and the earth, also – formed out of water and by the action of water, by the fiat of God;
Vahefanya uhusamwe ihelunga vihumine na magasi nuhugendela amagasiga hatale hulimenyu ilwa Nguluve,
6 and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed in a deluge of water.
uhusendela mlimenyu ilia mwene nama gasi gavaha kilonga huhepindi ihwo hagaviwe amagasi heha nangeha.
7 But the present heavens and earth, by the same fiat, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the day of the judgment and destruction of the godless.
Ululeno hukianya napasi kutonjiwe hulimenye lelelwo ilwa moto levehiwe hwa ajili ya yahuhegiwe uhwongomela awanu avalevuvule uNguluve.
8 But you, dear friends, must never shut your eyes to the fact that, to the Lord, one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Sayiweswa uhunanga elimenyu iliaho husihu yemo hwanguluke ni kama miaha mia moja elfu moja ni kama sihu yemo.
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some count slowness; but he is forbearing with you, as it is not his will that any of you should perish, but that all should be brought to repentance.
Sio khuva uNguluve ivomba mlamola uhutimeswa ulu dehano kama umyihweleveha umwene mwaminifu hwa ajili yenyo umwene sinogwa ihungomela lakini ihumia usehe ili uhwe pala imbivi.
10 The day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that day the heavens will pass away with a crash, the elements will be burnt up and dissolved, and the earth and all that is in it will be disclosed.
Inave, isihu ya Nguluve yifiha yiva kama undiasi ehelunga hela genda hwa huchova ekelele ifinu vilanangeha no mwoto. Ihelonga hwini helava mbuvalafu.
11 Now, since all these things are in the process of dissolution, think what you yourselves ought to be – what holy and pious lives you ought to lead,
Uhuva ifinu vyoni nangeha hunjela eye. Je ulava mnu vani utame he Klisite na emitamelo gwa he Nguluve.
12 while you wait for the coming of the day of God and strive to make it come soon. At its coming the heavens will be dissolved in fire, and the elements melted by heat,
Yinogwa uhelewa halaga uhwicha hwa Nguluve isihu eyo ehelunga helanangeha nu moto nifinu vilayeyoha no moto.
13 but we look for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will have its home, in fulfillment of the promise of God.
Uhuhumana ne ahadi ya mwene tugojela ehelunga ehepya ambamo avenya lweli vitama.
14 Therefore, dear friends, in expectation of these things, make every effort to be found by him spotless, blameless, and at peace.
Leno vagane tutegemela ifinu ifi etange sana uhusita uhulalameha nuhuva ne amani nave.
15 Regard our Lord’s forbearance as your one hope of salvation. This is what our dear friend Paul wrote to you, with the wisdom that God gave him.
Ni fata ukwe yomelecha hwa Nguluve katika uhwohwolewa kama vagane va Paulo, avasimbile umwe uhuhumana nuhwedeha ambayo ahapohilwe.
16 It is the same in all his letters, when he speaks in them about these subjects. There are some things in them difficult to understand, which untaught and weak people distort, just as they do all other writings, to their own ruin.
UPaulo alihujovela ago goni mkalata iya mwene hule finu ifi gumu uhuvyelewa avanu vava vakosiche eadabu na uvuimala vafinangile ifinu ivyo numvivombela uhusimba huhwa huhwelekea uhwongomela hwavene.
17 You must, therefore, dear friends, now that you know this beforehand, be on your guard against being led away by the errors of reckless people, and so lapsing from your present steadfastness;
Hivyo vagane uhuva mlumanyile ago lolelanaga ili msite uhuyagwa edeme mwevena ili msite uhuyagwa nuvudesi uwavapohaji nu huvayacha uwe lweli.
The World is Destroyed by Water
