2 Petorosi 1
1 Simone Pitolosi, muhikana ni mu apositola wa Jesu Keresite, kwavo vava tambuli intumelo ya vutokwa i swana uvu neswe hatu va i tabuli, intumero mu ku chena kwa Ireza ni Muhazi Jesu Keresite.
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Chishemo ni nkozo chi werwe cha ku pima mu maano a Ireza ni Jesu Simwine wetu.
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Zintu zonse ku amana maata a hitilila cha vuhalo ni vu Ireza ziva hewa kwetu cha maano a Ireza, ya vatu sumpili che nkanya yakwe ni vulotu.
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Chezi, ava tuhi insepiso i ndotu ni vukando, njikuti muve mu vatambuli ku nkavero ya vwikalo vulotu, uvu hamuva lovoki ku vuchengeleli vwina mu nkanda kevaka lwa ntakazo imbi.
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Cheli ivaka, muchite cha kulikoza kuku kondisa che ntumelo yenu, ni cha ku kondisa kwenu, maano.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 Cha maano enu, mu were kuli yendisa, mi kuku liyendisa kwenu, muwere kuli koza, mi mu kuli koza kwenu, mu were vu ireza.
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 Cha vu ireza vwenu, mu were ku zuminzana chense, mi mu ku zuminzana chense kwenu, mu were irato.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 Chikuti izi zintu zina mwenu ni ku kula mwenu, kete muve vavulite zintu kamba kusa vika zihantu mu maano a Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Kono yense yo vulite izi zintu u vona feela china hafuhi; ka voni. Chava zivali za ku jolozwa kuzwa ku zivi zakwe za kale.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Lyahanu, vakwangu, mu wongoze ku chita ku sumpwa kwenu ni buketwa vwenu mu vuli kolwisise. Ha mu chita izi zintu, kete mu chunchule.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 Cheyi inzila menjililo mu muvuso wa kuya kuile ya Simwine wetu ni Muhazi Jesu Keresite mu zi hewe kwenu cha ku fuma. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Kuzwaho mu ni kuli tukiseze kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ni ha kwina kuti mu zizi, mi nanga mu kolete kale mu vuniti hanu.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Ni zeza kuti ku shiyeme kwangu ku mi kundunga cha kumi nahanisa chezi zintu, ha ni sina mwelinu itente.
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Mukuti nizi kuti hahanu kani zwise itente lyangu, uvu nji Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite mwavani tondelezi.
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Kani li koze chenu kuti muku zeza inako yonse chezi zintu nanga cina hita.
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Mukuti kana tu ve chilili cha vutali matangu akulipangila hatu va mi wambili za ziho ni kuli vonahaza kwa Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite. Kono, tuva paki cha menso za vukando vwakwe.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 Mukuti ava tambuli kuzwa kwa Ireza Ishwetu ku kutekwa ni nkanya liinzwi haliva letwa kwali che nkanya ikando ni icho, “Uzu mwanangu, u sakahala, cakwe ni sangite sinte.”
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 Tu va zuwi ili liinzwi liva zwi mwi wulu, hatu vena naye he lindu li chena.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 Twina ili liinzwi lwa chiporofita liva nitihazwa. Mu chita sinte ku twala ko maano. Li kola uvu ilambi li munika mu civaka che fifi hesi hakwiza kakusasani mi inkani ya kakusasana i zwa mu nkulo zenu.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Mwi zive ichi tanzi, kuti kakwina chiporofita chete nichi torokwe muntu umwina.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Mukuti kawina ciporofita chivati chichiza che ntakazo yo muntu. Kono, vantu va hinditwe cha luhoho lu jolola lu wambitwe kuzwa kwa Ireza.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
