2 Peter 3
1 This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you
nikulembela bhebhe, n'ganwa ej'he barua j'ha bhubhele ili kukujhumusya mu luhala,
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
ubhusiaghe kukhomboka malobhi agha ghaghajobhiki kabla ni manabii bhatakatifu ni kuhusu amri j'ha Bwana gwitu na mwokozi kwa kutumila mitume.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
ili kubhwandelu mana bhasaliti bhibhetakuhida mu ligono lya mwishu kubhasaliti muenga kyabhilota sawasawa ni matakwa ghabhu.
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
bhakajobhai “J'hij'henda ku ahadi j'ha kukherebhuka? Bha tata bhitu bhafwili, Lakini fenu fyoha fyaj'hele efu kuhomela kubhwandelu mwa bhuumbaji.
5 For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,
kuj'ha nchi ni mbingu fya j'handili naha kuhoma ni masi ni kup'hetela masi muandi muni, kwa litobhi lya litobhi lya k'yara,
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
kwamba kup'hetela litobhi lyake na masi ghakawa bhulimwengu kaw kipindi e'khu, ikibhwa j'himemili masi, j'haharibibhu.
7 But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
henu mbingu ni dunia situnzibhu kwa litobhi leluelu kwa ndabha j'ha muoto. Fihifadhibhu kwa ndabha j'ha ligono lya hukumu ni maj'hangamisi gha bhanu bhabhabeli kuj'ha bha k'yara.
8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
j'hibhuesya lepi kuchenga bhujumbe bhwaku, bhaganwa, ligono limonga kwa bwana ni kama miaka elfu moja. Ni miaka elfu moja ni kama ligono limonga.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Sio kuj'ha Bwana iphomba molimoli kutimisya ahadi syake, kama kyaj'hifikiribhwa kuj'ha, Lakini muene mvumilivu kwandabha j'hinu, muene ilonda lepi hata mmonga ajhabgamilai, Lakini itamani kuhomesya muda ili bhoha bhakabhaghe kutubu.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
ligono lya Bwana libetakuhida kama mmeji, mbingu j'hibeta kup'heta kwa kukuesya njuegho. Fenu fibeta kuteketesibhwa kwa muoto. Nchi ni fenu fioha fibetakufunulibhwa bhwasi.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
kuj'ha fenu fiyoha fibetakutekesibhwa kwa nj'hela ej'he, Je, ghwibeta kuj'ha munu ghwa aina gani? Utamaj'hi kitakatifu ni maisha gha kimungu.
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
kumanya ni kutambula haraka ujio bha ligono lya k'yara. Ligono e'lu mbingu j'hibetakuteketesibhwa ni muoto. Ni fenu fibetakuyeyuka ni joto likali.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
kutokana ni ahadi syake, twilendela mbingu nyipya ni nchi nyipya, ambapo bhenye haki bhib'heta kutama.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
kwa kuj'ha twitarajila fenu efe, mwikwitangaghe kuj'ha makini ni kutokulaumika ni kuj'ha ni amani pamonga nu muene.
15 Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,
zingatilai bhuvumilivu bhwa Bwana ghwitu mu bhwokovu, kama n'ganwa ndombo bhitu Paulo, kyaabhalembili muenga, kutokana ni luhala lwa apelibhu.
16 as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
ilongelela agha ghoha mu barua syake, kuna fenu ambafyo ni figumu kufij'helebhwa. Bhanu bhabhaduli adabu ni bhuimara bhafyonangili fenu efu, Na kama kya bhibhomba ku maandiko. kulot'ela maangamizi ghabhu.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
bhaganwa kwa kuj'ha mughamanyili aghu. Mwikilenda mwibhene ili kuj'ha mkatakupotosibhwa ni bhudesi bhwa bhalaghai ni kubhajhasya bhuaminifu.
The World is Destroyed by Water
