2 Petro 3
1 nikulembela bhebhe, n'ganwa ej'he barua j'ha bhubhele ili kukujhumusya mu luhala,
Beloved, this is now the second letter that I am writing to you. In both of them I have tried to stir up your sincere mind by way of reminder,
2 ubhusiaghe kukhomboka malobhi agha ghaghajobhiki kabla ni manabii bhatakatifu ni kuhusu amri j'ha Bwana gwitu na mwokozi kwa kutumila mitume.
so that you remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commandment of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
3 ili kubhwandelu mana bhasaliti bhibhetakuhida mu ligono lya mwishu kubhasaliti muenga kyabhilota sawasawa ni matakwa ghabhu.
First of all, you must understand that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts.
4 bhakajobhai “J'hij'henda ku ahadi j'ha kukherebhuka? Bha tata bhitu bhafwili, Lakini fenu fyoha fyaj'hele efu kuhomela kubhwandelu mwa bhuumbaji.
They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has since the beginning of creation.”
5 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,
They deliberately overlook the fact that by the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth emerged through the water and was separated from the water.
6 kwamba kup'hetela litobhi lyake na masi ghakawa bhulimwengu kaw kipindi e'khu, ikibhwa j'himemili masi, j'haharibibhu.
And by the water and the word, the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7 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.
Furthermore, by his word the heavens and the earth that now exist have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly.
8 j'hibhuesya lepi kuchenga bhujumbe bhwaku, bhaganwa, ligono limonga kwa bwana ni kama miaka elfu moja. Ni miaka elfu moja ni kama ligono limonga.
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
9 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.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
10 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.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11 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.
Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed, what sort of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness,
12 kumanya ni kutambula haraka ujio bha ligono lya k'yara. Ligono e'lu mbingu j'hibetakuteketesibhwa ni muoto. Ni fenu fibetakuyeyuka ni joto likali.
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God. On that day the heavens will be set on fire and destroyed, and the elements will melt in the intense heat.
13 kutokana ni ahadi syake, twilendela mbingu nyipya ni nchi nyipya, ambapo bhenye haki bhib'heta kutama.
But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14 kwa kuj'ha twitarajila fenu efe, mwikwitangaghe kuj'ha makini ni kutokulaumika ni kuj'ha ni amani pamonga nu muene.
Therefore, beloved, as you wait for these things, be diligent to be found at peace, spotless and blameless in his sight.
15 zingatilai bhuvumilivu bhwa Bwana ghwitu mu bhwokovu, kama n'ganwa ndombo bhitu Paulo, kyaabhalembili muenga, kutokana ni luhala lwa apelibhu.
And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.
16 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.
He speaks about these things in all his letters. Some of the things he says are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people twist to their own destruction, just as they do with the other Scriptures.
17 bhaganwa kwa kuj'ha mughamanyili aghu. Mwikilenda mwibhene ili kuj'ha mkatakupotosibhwa ni bhudesi bhwa bhalaghai ni kubhajhasya bhuaminifu.
Therefore, beloved, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you will not be led astray by the error of these lawless men and fall from your own secure position.
The World is Destroyed by Water
