2 Peter 1
1 SIMON PETER, a servant and legate of Jesus the Messiah, to those who have obtained equally precious faith with us, through the righteousness of Our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus the Messiah;
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 May grace and peace abound to you through the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
Chishemo ni nkozo chi werwe cha ku pima mu maano a Ireza ni Jesu Simwine wetu.
3 as the giver to us of all things that be of the power of God, unto life and the fear of God, through the recognition of him who hath called us unto his own glory and moral excellence:
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 wherein he hath given you very great and precious promises; that by them ye might become partakers of the nature of God, while ye flee from the corruptions of the lusts that are in the world.
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 And, while ye apply all diligence in the matter, add to your faith moral excellence; and to moral excellence, knowledge;
Cheli ivaka, muchite cha kulikoza kuku kondisa che ntumelo yenu, ni cha ku kondisa kwenu, maano.
6 and to knowledge, perseverance; and to perseverance, patience; and to patience, the fear of God;
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 to the fear of God, sympathy with the brotherhood; and to sympathy with the brotherhood, love.
Cha vu ireza vwenu, mu were ku zuminzana chense, mi mu ku zuminzana chense kwenu, mu were irato.
8 For, while these are found in you, and abounding, they render you not slothful, and not unfruitful, in the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
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, in whom these things are not found, is blind and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purgation of his former 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 And therefore, my brethren, be ye exceedingly diligent to make your calling and election sure, by your good actions: for, by so doing, ye will never fall away.
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 will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah. (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 And for this reason I am not wearied in reminding you continually of these things; although ye know them well, and are established in this 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 And it seemeth right to me, so long as I am in this body, to excite you by monition;
Ni zeza kuti ku shiyeme kwangu ku mi kundunga cha kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ha ni sina mwelinu itente.
14 since I know, that the demise of my body is speedy, as also my Lord Jesus the Messiah hath showed me.
Mukuti nizi kuti hahanu kani zwise itente lyangu, uvu nji Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite mwavani tondelezi.
15 And I am anxious, that, after my departure, ye too may have it always with you to make mention of these things.
Kani li koze chenu kuti muku zeza inako yonse chezi zintu nanga cina hita.
16 For we have not gone after fables artfully framed, in making known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; but it was after we had been spectators 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, when he received from God the Father honor and glory, and, after the splendid glory of his majesty, a voice came to him thus: 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 also heard this identical voice from heaven, which came to him while we were with him in the holy mount.
Tu va zuwi ili liinzwi liva zwi mwi wulu, hatu vena naye he lindu li chena.
19 And we have moreover a sure word of prophecy; and ye will do well, if ye look to it as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day shall dawn, and the sun shall arise 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 ye having the previous knowledge, that no prophecy is an exposition of its own text.
Mwi zive ichi tanzi, kuti kakwina chiporofita chete nichi torokwe muntu umwina.
21 For at no time was it by the pleasure of man, that the prophecy came; but holy men of God spoke, as they were 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.
