2 Petro 1
1 Simon petro, N'tumwa na Mtume ghwa Yesu Kristu, Kwa bhala bhabhajijhambelili imani j'helaj'hela j'ha thamani kama kyatuj'hi j'hambelili tete, imani j'haijhele j'ha ij'hele mugati mu haki j'ha k'yara ni mwokozi ghwitu Yesu Kristu.
Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Neema ijhiaghe kwa jhomu; amani j'hij'hongesikabaghe kup'hetela maarifa gha k'yara ni Bwana bhitu Yesu
May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
3 Kup'hetela maarifa gha k'yara tukabhili mambo ghake ghoha kwandabha j'ha uchaji bhwa maisha, kuh'omela kwa k'yara j'heatukutilisha, kwandabha j'ha bhunofu bhwa bhutukufu bhwake.
Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;
4 Kwa nj'hela ej'he atutumainisili ahadi kuu sya thamani. Abhombi naha ili kutubhomba bharithi bha asili j'ha k'yara, kwa kadri kyatwi j'hendilela kubhuleka bhuovu bhwa dunia ej'he.
And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
5 Kwa ndabha ej'he mubhombaghe bidii kujhongesya bhunofu kwa nj'ela j'ha imani j'hinu, kwandabha j'ha bhunofu, maarifa.
So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,
6 Kup'hetela maarifa, kiasi, ni kup'hetela kiasi saburi, bhwibeta kukhoma.
And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,
7 Kup'hetela bhutaua luganu lwa ndongobhu ni kup'hetela lugano lwa ndongobhu, luganu.
And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.
8 Kama mambo agha ghaj'hele mugati mwinu, kyaghij'hendelela kukhola mugati mwinu, basi muenga mwibeta lepi kuj'ha tasa au bhanu mwa mwihogola lepi matunda mu maarifa gha Bwana Yesu Kristu.
For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Lakini j'hej'hoha j'haabeli kuj'ha ni mambo agha akaghabhona mambo gha karibu tu; muene kipofu. ajhebhelili bhutakaso bhwa dhambi sya muandi
For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.
10 bhalongo bhangu, m'mbombaghe juhudi ili kwihakikishia bhuteule ni bhwito kwandabha j'hinu. Kama m'mbeta kubhomba agha m'betalei kwikungufula.
For this reason, my brothers, take all the more care to make your selection and approval certain; for if you do these things you will never have a fall:
11 m'beta kwikabhila bhwingi bhwa lango lya kuj'hingilila mu mufalme bhwa milele bhwa Bwana ghwitu ni mwokozi Yesu Kristu (aiōnios g166)
For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 nene nibetakuj'ha tayari kubhakhombosya mambo agha kila mara, hata kama mughamanyili ni henu muj'hele imara mu bhukweli.
For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.
13 kuj'ha njele kinofu kubhasisimula ni kubhakhombosya juu j'ha mambo agha, ningali j'hele mu lihema e'le.
And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;
14 maana nimanyili kuj'ha si mda mrefu nibhoke nikajhibhosya hema j'hangu, kama Bwana Yesu Kristu kyaandasisye.
For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 kwitanga kwa bidii kwa ndabha j'hinu ili mkhombokaj'hi mambo agha baada j'ha nene kubhoka.
And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.
16 tete twafwatiti lepi hadithi syasij'hingisibhu kwa ustadi pala patwabhabholili juu j'ha ngofu ni kukidhihirisha kwa Bwana bhwitu Yesu Kristu, bali tete twaj'hele mashahidi bha bhutukufu bhwake.
For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.
17 aj'hamb'elili bhutukufu ni litengo kuhoma kwa k'yara tata pale sauti bhoj'hip'helekiki kuhoma mu bhutukufu mbaha kyaj'hijobha, “Ojho ndo mwanabhangu, n'ganwa ghwangu ambaj'he nikyelili naku.
For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
18 sauti ej'he kuhomela kumbinguni pala bhotujhenakupa kid'onda kitakatifu.
And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 e'le lilobhi lya bhunabii lyalithibitiki, ambalyo mwibhomba kinofu kulitekelesya. Ni kama taa kyaj'hing'ara mu ngisi mpaka kwibhalala ni matondo gha mawio kyasibhonekana mu mi'teema ghinu.
And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;
20 Mumanyaghe agha j'he kuj'ha j'hij'helepi bhunabii bhwabhwij'handikibhwa kwa ndabha j'ha kujifikirisya kwa nabii muene.
Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.
21 kuj'ha bhuj'helepi bhunabii bhwabhuhidili kwa mapenzi gha mwanadamu, isipokuj'ha bhanadamu bhabhwezeshibhu ni Roho Mtakatifu j'haalongili kuh'omela kwa K'yara.
For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
