2 Peter 1
1 Simount Petre, seruaunt and apostle of `Jhesu Crist, to hem that han take with vs the euene feith, in the riytwisnesse of oure God and sauyour Jhesu Crist,
Mimi Simoni Petro, mtumishi na mtume wa Yesu Kristo, nawaandikia ninyi ambao, kwa wema wake Mungu wetu, na Mwokozi Yesu Kristo, mmejaliwa imani ileile ya thamani kuu tuliyojaliwa sisi.
2 grace and pees be fillid to you, bi the knowing of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
Nawatakieni neema na amani tele katika kumjua Mungu na Yesu Bwana wetu.
3 Hou alle thingis of his godlich vertu, that ben to lijf and pitee, ben youun to vs, bi the knowyng of hym, that clepide vs for his owne glorie and vertu.
Kwa uwezo wake wa kimungu, Mungu ametujalia mambo yote tunayohitaji, ili tuishi maisha ya kumcha Mungu kwa kumjua yeye aliyetuita tuushiriki utukufu na wema wake yeye mwenyewe.
4 Bi whom he yaf to vs moost preciouse biheestis; that bi these thingis ye schulen be maad felows of Goddis kynde, and fle the corrupcioun of that coueytise, that is in the world.
Kwa namna hiyo ametujalia zawadi kuu na za thamani ambazo alituahidia, ili kwa zawadi hizo mpate kuziepa kabisa tamaa mbaya zilizomo duniani, na mpate kuishiriki hali yake ya kimungu.
5 And bringe ye in alle bisynesse, and mynystre ye in youre feith vertu, and `in vertu kunnyng;
Kwa sababu hiyo, fanyeni bidii ya kuongeza fadhila katika imani yenu: ongezeni elimu katika fadhila yenu,
6 in kunnyng abstinence, in abstynence pacience, in pacience pitee;
kuwa na kiasi katika elimu yenu, uvumilivu katika kuwa na kiasi, uchaji wa Mungu katika uvumilivu wenu,
7 in pitee, love of britherhod, and in loue of britherhod charite.
udugu katika uchaji wenu, na mapendo katika udugu wenu.
8 For if these ben with you, and ouercomen, thei schulen not make you voide, nethir with out fruyt, in the knowyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
Mkiwa na sifa hizo zote kwa wingi, zitawawezesheni kuwa watendaji na kupata faida katika kumjua Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
9 But to whom these ben not redi, he is blynd, and gropith with his hoond, and foryetith the purgyng of his elde trespassis.
Lakini mtu asiye na sifa hizo ni kipofu, hawezi kuona na amesahau kwamba alikwisha takaswa dhambi zake za zamani.
10 Wherfor, britheren, be ye more bisi, that by goode werkis ye make youre clepyng and chesyng certeyn; for ye doynge these thingis schulen not do synne ony tyme.
Kwa hiyo basi, ndugu zangu, fanyeni bidii zaidi kuufanya huo wito wenu mlioitiwa na Mungu uwe jambo la kudumu katika maisha yenu; kama mkiishi namna hiyo hamtaanguka kamwe.
11 For thus the entryng in to euerlastynge kyngdom of oure Lord and sauyour Jhesu Crist, schal be mynystrid to you plenteuousli. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa namna hiyo mtafaulu kupewa haki kamili ya kuingia katika Utawala wa milele wa Bwana na Mwokozi wetu Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
12 For which thing Y schal bigynne to moneste you euere more of these thingis; and Y wole that ye be kunnynge, and confermyd in this present treuthe.
Kwa hiyo nitaendelea kuwakumbusheni daima mambo haya, ingawa mmekwisha yafahamu, na mko imara katika ukweli mlioupokea.
13 Forsothe Y deme iustli, as long as Y am in this tabernacle, to reise you in monesting; and Y am certeyn,
Nadhani ni jambo jema kwangu, muda wote niishio hapa duniani, kuwapeni moyo na kuwakumbusheni juu ya mambo haya.
14 that the putting awei of my tabernacle is swift, bi this that oure Lord Jhesu Crist hath schewid to me.
Najua kwamba karibu nitauweka kando mwili huu wenye kufa, kama Bwana alivyoniambia waziwazi.
15 But Y schal yyue bisynesse, and ofte after my deth ye haue mynde of these thingis.
Basi, nitajitahidi kuwapatieni njia ya kuyakumbuka mambo haya kila wakati, baada ya kufariki kwangu.
16 For we not suynge vnwise talis, han maad knowun to you the vertu and the biforknowyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist; but we weren maad biholderis of his greetnesse.
Wakati tulipowafundisheni juu ya ukuu wa kuja kwake Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, hatukutegemea hadithi tupu zisizo na msingi. Sisi tuliuona utukufu wake kwa macho yetu wenyewe.
17 For he took of God the fadir onour and glorie, bi siche maner vois slidun doun to hym fro the greet glorie, This is my loued sone, in whom Y haue plesid to me; here ye hym.
Sisi tulikuwapo wakati alipopewa heshima na kutukuzwa na Mungu Baba, wakati sauti ilipomjia kutoka kwake yeye aliye Utukufu Mkuu, ikisema: “Huyu ni Mwanangu mpenzi, nimependezwa naye.”
18 And we herden this vois brouyt from heuene, whanne we weren with hym in the hooli hil.
Tena, sisi wenyewe tulisikia sauti hiyo kutoka mbinguni wakati tulipokuwa pamoja naye juu ya ule mlima mtakatifu.
19 And we han a saddere word of prophecie, to which ye yyuynge tent don wel, as to a lanterne that yyueth liyt in a derk place, til the dai bigynne to yyue liyt, and the dai sterre sprenge in youre hertis.
Tena, ujumbe wa manabii watuthibitishia jambo hilo; nanyi mwafanya vema kama mkiuzingatia, maana ni kama taa inayoangaza mahali penye giza mpaka Siku ile itakapopambazuka na mwanga wa nyota ya asubuhi utakapong'ara mioyoni mwenu.
20 And firste vndurstonde ye this thing, that ech prophesie of scripture is not maad bi propre interpretacioun;
Zaidi ya hayo, lakini, kumbukeni kwamba hakuna mtu yeyote awezaye kufafanua mwenyewe unabii ulio katika Maandiko Matakatifu.
21 for prophesie was not brouyt ony tyme bi mannus wille, but the hooli men of God inspirid with the Hooli Goost spaken.
Maana hakuna ujumbe wa kinabii unaotokana na matakwa ya binadamu, bali watu walinena ujumbe wa Mungu wakiongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu.
