2 Peter 3
1 Beloved, this is now the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them they are reminders to stir up your sincere mind,
Kwalino, ndikulembela kuli nduwe, oyandwa, olu lugwalo lwabili ndundakulembela nchiibalusyo chakuno mwibulusya mumizeezo yanu,
2 so that you will recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command 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 Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days. They will mock and proceed according to their own desires.
Kukusanguna echi ngachizibwe, kuti kuyosika basikaniako niako mumazuba amamanino.
4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his return? From when our fathers fell asleep, all things have stayed the same, 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 willfully forget that the heavens and the earth came to exist out of water and through water, long ago, by God's command,
Balalilubya lubya achaali kuti chiindi mukwinda mujwi lya Leza ijulu anyika zyakasika mpozibawo kazizwa mumeenda alubo mukwinda mumeenda,
6 and that through these things, the world of that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
alimwi eyo nyika kuchindi echo yakamwayulwa, yakazimazigwa ameenda.
7 But now the heavens and the earth are reserved for fire by that same command. They are reserved for the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
Kwinda mujwi ndilyo ijulu anyika zyakabambililwa mulilo, zililondwedwe kazilindila elzo zuba lyalubeta alunyonyooko lwabantu batakwe bunaleza.
8 It should not escape your notice, beloved, that one day with the Lord 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 does not move slowly concerning his promises, as some consider slowness to be. Instead, he is patient toward you. He does not desire for any of you to perish, but for everyone to make room for 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 However, the day of the Lord will come as a thief: The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The elements will be burned with fire, and the earth and the deeds in it will be revealed.
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 Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? You should live holy and godly lives.
Mbokunga zyoonsenezi ziyoloba enzila eyi, ino mulelede kuba bantu balibiyeni? Mulelede kupona mubusalali amubuumi bwabunaleza.
12 You should expect and hasten the coming of the day of God. On that day, the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will be melted in great 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 are waiting for the new heavens and the new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
Pesi mbuli mbwakasyomezya, tulokulindila ijulu ipya anyika impya, oko baluleeme nkubayokkala.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you expect these things, do your best to be found spotless and blameless before him, in peace.
Nkambo kaako, nomuyandwa, mbokunga mulangila ezi zintu, amusungwale kuti mukajanike kamutakwe kabata nikaba kampenda kunembo lyakwe, kamuli mulumuno.
15 Also, consider the patience of our Lord to be salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom that was given to him.
Alubo, amuyeeye kuti kukkazika moyo kwa Mwami nkokweta lufutuko, mbubonya mbuli uyandwa mukwesu Pawulu mbwakamulembela, mukwinda mubusongo mbwakapedwe.
16 Paul speaks of these things in all his letters, in which there are things that are difficult to understand. Ignorant and unstable men distort these things, as they also do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
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 know about these things beforehand, guard yourselves so that you are not led astray by the deceit of lawless people and you lose your own faithfulness.
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. May the glory be to him both now and forever. 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
