2 Petelo 3
1 Itungili, kuukilisilya uwe, mulowa ili ibada nila kabiili iti ku ukimbukiilya mu mahala,
Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind:
2 iti kina uhume kukimbukiilya makani nai aligitigwe ze ikili ni anya kidagu ni kutula ilagiilyo nila Mukulu witu hangi muguni ku kutumila i itumi.
That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets, and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour.
3 Ulinge iti ng'wandyo, kina ia hugi aziiza mu mahiku a mpelo; kumuhuga unyenye, aze alongolekile iniganiie nu ulowa nu ao.
Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 Hangi azeligitya, “Likoli pii ilago ni la kusuka? aTata itu ai akule, kuiti intu yihi ai ituile uu puma ng'wandyo nua u umbwaa.
Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? for since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 Akitendisa kiwa kina ihi ni ilunde aiyandilye kupumiila ni mazi ikali nia kali, ku ikani ni lang'wa Itunda,
For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God.
6 ni kina kukiila lukani ni mazi akatula unkumbigulu ku mahiku nanso, Ize ituile izue mazi ai ibepigwe.
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
7 Kuiti itungili ilunde ni ihi i ekilwe ku lukani lulo luulo kunsoko a moto. IIekilwe kunsoko a luhiku nula ulamulwa nu ulimiligwa nua antu ni shanga ang'wa Itunda.
But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men.
8 Iki shanga kihumile kuhuga utung'waa nuako, alowa, kina luhuku lung'wi ku mukulu ingi anga i miaka magana anzogu ling'wi, Ni miaka magana a nzogu ling'wi ingi anga luhiku lung'wi.
But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Shanga kina Mukulu witumaa ku uembeelu kupikiilya ilagiilyo, anga ni isigiiwe kutula. Kuiti nuanso ingi mugimya kunsoko anyu, nuanso u, mugila nsula ga nung'wi walimile, Kuiti ukete nsula kupumya itungo iti ihi alije kila itunu.
The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.
10 Anga itule, luhiku nula Mukulu lukupembya anga umii, ilunde likakila ku kukuta ung'wano. Iintu yukulimiligwa ku moto. Ihi ni intu ni imoli ikukunukulwa ng'walyi.
But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up.
11 Kunsoko i intuihi yukulimiligwa ku nzila yiyi. Itii ukutula muntu nua mpyani kii? Wikie ki elu nu likalo nu ki itunda.
Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?
12 Ikuloeigwe kulinga nu kumanya upepeele u upembyi nua luhiku nualang'wa Itunda. Luhiku nulanso ilunde likalimiligwa ku moto, Ni intu yuku huluganigwa mu upyu utaki.
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?
13 Kuiti kupembelya ni ilago ni lakwe, kulindiie ilunde igeni ni ihi ngeni naiza anya tai ane akikie.
But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.
14 Uugwa alowa kunsoko kusumbiiye intu izi, kagupa kutula wimukendegeeli nu kuhita kusokigwa nu kutula nu ulyuuku palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.
15 Hangi komaniiilya u ugimya nua Mukulu witu mu ugunwa, anga mulowa heu itu uPaulo, nai umukilisiiye unyenye, kupembelya nu ukulu niiza ai winkeeigwe.
And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
16 uPauo ukuganula aya ihi mu ma bada akwe, akoli maintu nize makaku kumalinga, Antu niagila nu upolo nu ukomu aibipilye i intu nianso Ni anga niakituma ku ukilisigwa, kutunga ulimiligwa nuao.
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Iti gwa, alowa kunsoko mulingile nanso. Isunji akola iti kina muleke kulimiligwa nu ukongelwa nua uteele nu kulimilya u uhuiili.
You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness.
18 Kuiti mukule mu ukende nu uhugu nua Mukulu hangi muguni uYesu Kilisto, NI itungili ikulyo likoli nu ng'wenso itungili ni kali na kali. Amina. (aiōn g165)
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
