2 Peter 3
1 Beloved, this is now the second letter that I am writing to you. In both of them I have tried to stir up your sincere mind by way of reminder,
Kwalino, ndikulembela kuli nduwe, oyandwa, olu lugwalo lwabili ndundakulembela nchiibalusyo chakuno mwibulusya mumizeezo yanu,
2 so that you remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commandment of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
kuti mukayibuluke majwi akambiidwe chiindi abasinsimi basalali antomwe amulawo wa Mwami a Mufutuli wakapegwa kwinda mubatumwa.
3 First of all, you must understand that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts.
Kukusanguna echi ngachizibwe, kuti kuyosika basikaniako niako mumazuba amamanino.
4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has since the beginning of creation.”
Bayowamba kuti, “Ino kulikuli kuboola kwakwe nkwakasyomezya? Nkambo kakuti kuzwa chiindi nibakafwa bamataatesu, zyoonse zintu zichikkede kazili mbozyakabede, kuzwa kumatangunino azilengwa.”
5 They deliberately overlook the fact that by the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth emerged through the water and was separated from the water.
Balalilubya lubya achaali kuti chiindi mukwinda mujwi lya Leza ijulu anyika zyakasika mpozibawo kazizwa mumeenda alubo mukwinda mumeenda,
6 And by the water and the word, the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
alimwi eyo nyika kuchindi echo yakamwayulwa, yakazimazigwa ameenda.
7 Furthermore, by his word the heavens and the earth that now exist have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly.
Kwinda mujwi ndilyo ijulu anyika zyakabambililwa mulilo, zililondwedwe kazilindila elzo zuba lyalubeta alunyonyooko lwabantu batakwe bunaleza.
8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
Pele nkuchili nchimutelede kuluba, nobayandwa, ncheechi chakuti ku Mwami buzuba bomwe buli mbuli chuulu chamwaaka, achilaacho chuulu chamyaaka chilimbuli buzuba bomwe.
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Mwami tayendi bunini bunini pe kuzisyomezyo zyakwe, mbuli mbobayeeya bamwi kuti wanonoka. Pe pe, ngusibuuya andinywe. Tayandi pe kuti naba omwe wenu akafwidilile, pesi kuti woonse ajane mwenya wakusanduka.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
Nekubaboobo, ibuzuba bwa Mwami bulasika mbuboonya mbuli uubba: Imajulu ayoloba amuzuzumo mupati. Tunyenyezi tuyopya amulilo, ayilayo inyika amichito ilimulinjiiyo ziyoloba. Takulentanganana pe kuti ndelili ijwi lyamulaka wachi Giliki lyelede kubelesegwa kujwi lyakujinsya munchali wekkumi, akkati kakuti, kusyalamaya nakuti kuumpwa, ngakulaba kulisalila. kuli kuzumbuuzya kuti ndilili ijwi lingalila belesegwa. Kulisalila kwabili ngakulaba oku, Itunyeenyezi tuyotentwa amulilo, ayilayo nyika antomwe azichitwa mulinjiyo ziyoloba akutentwa.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed, what sort of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness,
Mbokunga zyoonsenezi ziyoloba enzila eyi, ino mulelede kuba bantu balibiyeni? Mulelede kupona mubusalali amubuumi bwabunaleza.
12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God. On that day the heavens will be set on fire and destroyed, and the elements will melt in the intense heat.
Mulelede kulangila akuyandisya kusika kwazuba lya Leza. Mubuzuba oobo, imajulu ayomwayulwa amulilo, atwalo tunyenyezi tuyoyeemuka amusikitila wakupya.
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Pesi mbuli mbwakasyomezya, tulokulindila ijulu ipya anyika impya, oko baluleeme nkubayokkala.
14 Therefore, beloved, as you wait for these things, be diligent to be found at peace, spotless and blameless in his sight.
Nkambo kaako, nomuyandwa, mbokunga mulangila ezi zintu, amusungwale kuti mukajanike kamutakwe kabata nikaba kampenda kunembo lyakwe, kamuli mulumuno.
15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.
Alubo, amuyeeye kuti kukkazika moyo kwa Mwami nkokweta lufutuko, mbubonya mbuli uyandwa mukwesu Pawulu mbwakamulembela, mukwinda mubusongo mbwakapedwe.
16 He speaks about these things in all his letters. Some of the things he says are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people twist to their own destruction, just as they do with the other Scriptures.
Pawulu ulamba zintu zyonsezi mumagwalo akwe, kwakuti mukati kawo mozili zintu ziyumu kukumvwisisisya. Nkabela batayiide abatakkalinkene balasandula sandula amwi magwalo, chakuli nyonyoona lwabo.
17 Therefore, beloved, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you will not be led astray by the error of these lawless men and fall from your own secure position.
Pele, nywebo nomuyandwa, mbokunga ezi zintu mulizizi kale, amukaliyaminine lwenu nkokuti tamukasowegwi abasilweeno batakwe mulawo mpawo mukaswekelwe lusyomo lwanu.
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Pesi kamuya bukomena kuluzyalo amuluzibo lwa Mwami a Mufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito. Akube bulemu kulinguwe kwalyoonse sunu mane kukabe ikutamani. Ameni! (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
