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,
Hanu, Ni ñolela inwe, vasakiwa, ili iñolo lyo vuveli lye nkupuzo mu ku ndunga vuniti bwa muhupulo wenu,
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,
nji kuti muzeze manzwi ava wambwiwa ku masule ni vapolofita va jolola ni intaelo ya Simwine wetu ni Muhazi ya vahewa cha va apositola.
3 that there will come in the last days scoffers,
Mwizive ichi intanzi, kuti vasheununi kaveze mu mazuva a mamaninikizo. Ka vasheunune ni kuzwila havusu ku ya chentakazo zavo vene.
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.
Kavati, “Inahi insepiso ya kuvola kwa kwe? Kuzwa vazazi vetu ha valala, zintu zonse zivekali muswana, ku zwa ku matangilo a ku vumbwa.”
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.
Ka vazivale kavomu kuti mawulu ni hansi zi vezi kuva cha kuzwa mu menzi mi ni cha menzi, kuzwililila uko, che ntaelo ya Ireza,
6 Whence the old world being drowned in water perished.
mi ka chezi zintu, inkanda ye yina inako iva sinyiwa, cha ku miniswa ni menzi.
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.
Kono hanu mawulu ni hansi zi vikilwe kwiza ku hiswa ni mulilo che ntaelo iswana. Zi vikilwe izuva lye nkatulo mi ni insinyeho kwa vantu va sena Ireza.
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.
Kanzi mukangwa ku lemuha, vasakiwa, kuti izuva lyonke kwa Simwine likolovu lule lwa mwazuva, mi mazuva ena lule a kolovu izuva lyonke.
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.
Simwine ka yendi cha kulyehi ku ya che sepiso zakwe, sina vamwi ha vaindinda cha kulyeha mukuva. Kono, inkulonde kwenu. Kalakazi ni heva zumwi kwenu ku sinyeha, kono kuyense ave ni chivaka cha kuvaka.
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.
Nihakuvavulyo, izuva lya Simwine kalize uvu musa: mawulu ka zihite ni muhuwo we lata. Mi zintu kazi zihiswe ni mulilo, mi hansi ni mitendo zina mwateni ka zipatululwe.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
Sina zonse izi zintu kazi sinyehe mweyi inzila, kamuve muvantu venavule? Mulukela kuhala vuhalo vu jolola ni mihalilo ya vu ireza.
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.
Mu swanela ku lindila ni kuhwelisa kwiza kwe izuva lya Ireza. Helyo zuva, mawulu kasinyiwe cha mulilo, mi zivumbatu kazi wanjumuke mwi ijeje ikando.
13 But we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth.
Kono chakuya che insepiso yakwe, tulindile mawulu mahya ni hansi hahya, mwete kuve ni kuluka.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye expect these things, give diligence to be found of Him in peace, spotless and blameless;
Kuzwaho, vasakiwa, sina hamulindile izi zintu, muchite mu muwolela muwanike ni musena kavala ku sanyazahala havusu vwake, mwinkozo.
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;
Hape, muzeze inkulonde ya Simwine wetu cha kuhazwa, sina mwena mwetu Paulusi yosakahana ha va miñoleli, chakuya cha vutali vuvahewa kwali.
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.
Paulusi uwamba chezi zintu muwonse mañolo akwe, muali mwina zintu zi kukutu ku kuzizuwisisa. Vakwame va sezi mi ni va sawondeki mwezi zintu, sina havapanga vulyo zimwi intimana, kwi insinyeho yavo.
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.
Kuzwaho, vasakiwa, sina hamwizi izi zintu, mulivukeleze njikuti kanzi muzwiswa cha vuchengi bwa vantu vafokola mi muzovelwe ku sepahala kwenu.
The World is Destroyed by Water
