2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, my beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your sincere mind in remembrance,
Mbe oli, enikwandikila awe, omwendwa inyarubha inu eya kabhili koleleki nikusisimule obhwenge,
2 that ye may be mindful of the words formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: knowing this first,
koleleki utule okwijuka emisango ejo jaikilwe na bhalagi abhelu no kumenya echilagilo cho Mukama weswe no mwilusi kwo kulabha ku ntumwa.
3 that there will come in the last days scoffers,
Umenye gunu kwamba, ati abhalomi abha iniku abhaja mu nsiku jo bhutelo okubhalomela emwe iniku, mbalibhata okulubhana no kwenda kwebhwe.
4 walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the declaration of his coming? for except that the fathers are fallen asleep, all things remain as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Mbe nibhaika “Gulyaki omulago gwo kusubha? Bhalata bheswe bhafuye, Mbe nawe ebhinu bhyona bhyaliga bhili kutiyo okusokelela kubhwambilo bhwo kuanga.
5 For they are willingly ignorant of this, that by the Word of God the heavens were made of old, and the earth too from the water, and subsisting on the water.
Mbekola okulabhilwa ati insi no lwile bhyambile okusoka mu manji no kulabha mu manji munsiku ja kala, kwo musango gwa Nyamuanga,
6 Whence the old world being drowned in water perished.
na ati kwo kulabha ku musango gwaye na manji nigabha insi ku mwanya ogwo, ijuye amanji yanyamuwe.
7 But the heavens and the earth, that now are, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire on the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men.
Mbe nawe oli olwile ne chalo jibhikilwe kwo musango ogwo gwo kulwo mulilo. Bhibhikilwe ku indamu na masingalisho ga abhanu bhanu bhatali bha Nyamuanga.
8 But, beloved; be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Inu itakutula kwiindya obhubhambasi bhwao, bhendwa, ati olusiku lumwi ku Latabhugenyi ni kuti emyaka chiumbi. Ne myaka chiumbi ni kuti lusiku lumwi.
9 The Lord is not slow as to his promise (as some count it slowness) but is long-suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Itali ati Omukama kakola okukumisha omulago, lwa kutyo ejiganilisibhwa okubha, Mbe nawe omwenikili ni mwikomesha ingulu yemwe, omwene atakwenda nolwo umwi asingalike, Mbe nawe endele okusosha omwanya koleleki bhona bhante.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burnt up.
Nawe olusiku lwo Mukama olwija lwo mwifi, olwile olulabhao nilusekana. Ebhinu ebhisingalisibhwa no mulilo. Insi ne bhinu bhyona bhinu bhilimo ebhisululwa abhwelu.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
Kulwo kubha ebhinu bhyona ebhisingalisibhwa mu njila inu. Mbe oubha munu wa kutiki? Wiyanje kisi mukalibhatiye ka Nyamuanga.
12 expecting and hastening on the coming of the day of God, whereby the heavens being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the burning elements shall be melted.
Owendibhwa okumenya no kwikenga bhwangu mu lusiku lwo kwija Nyamuanga. Olusiku olwo olwile olusingalisibhwa no mulilo. Ne bhinu ebhinyalaganyibhwa na libhasi lya lisubha.
13 But we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth.
Mbe nawe okulubhana no mulago gwaye, chilindiliye olwile luyaya na insi inyaya, ao abhalengelesi bhalinyanja.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye expect these things, give diligence to be found of Him in peace, spotless and blameless;
Mbe bhendwa kulwo kubha echilindilila ebhinu bhinu, wikomeshe okwangalila ubhe no mulembe amwi nage.
15 and account the long-suffering of our Lord salvation, as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written unto you;
Yangalila okwikomesha kwa Latabhugenyi weswe mu mwelulo, lwo mwendwa weswe Paulo, kutyo abhandikiye emwe, okulubhana no bhwengeso bhunu ayanilwe.
16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things: in which are some things hard to be understood, which the illiterate and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
Paulo kalomelela ago gona munyalubha jaye, bhilio ebhinu bhinu bhikomeye okubhimenya. Abhanu bhanu bhatana esima no kwimelegulu bhabhinyamuye ebhinu ebhyo, lwa kutyo abhakola mu maandiko okugenda mumasingalisho gebhwe.
17 Do ye therefore, beloved, as ye know these things before, take heed least being seduced together with them by the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness.
Kutyo, bhendwa kwo kubha omugamenya ago, mwiyangalile abhene koleleki mwasiga okubhushwa no bhujigi bhwa bhabheyi no kubhusha obhulengelesi.
The Great Flood
