< 2 Pita 1 >
1 Na Haimona Pita, he pononga, a he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga kua whiwhi tahi nei tatou ki te whakapono utu nui, i runga o te tika o to tatou Atua, o Ihu Karaiti, o te Kaiwhakaora.
USimoni Phethro, inceku lompostoli kaJesu Khristu, Kulabo abamukele ukholo oluligugu njengolwethu ngokulunga kukaNkulunkulu wethu loMsindisi uJesu Khristu:
2 Kia whakanuia te aroha noa me te rangimarie ki a koutou, i runga i te matauranga ki te Atua, ki a Ihu hoki, ki to tatou Ariki.
Umusa lokuthula kakube ngokwenu ngokwandileyo ngokumazi uNkulunkulu loJesu iNkosi yethu.
3 Kua homai na hoki e tona kaha Atua ki a tatou nga mea katoa mo te ora, mo te karakia pai, i te mea ka matau nei ki te Kaikaranga i a tatou i runga i te kororia, i te pai:
Amandla akhe obuNkulunkulu asesinike konke esikudingayo ekuphileni kanye lokumesaba uNkulunkulu ngokumazi kwethu yena owasibiza ngenkazimulo yakhe langokulunga.
4 Na enei hoki i riro mai ai i a tatou nga kupu whakaari, he mea nui whakaharahara, he mea utu nui; ma enei hoki koutou ka whiwhi ai ki te ahua Atua, i a koutou ka mawhiti nei i te pirau i te ao, ara i to te hiahia.
Ngalokhu-ke usesinike izithembiso zakhe ezinkulu kakhulu eziligugu, ukuze kuthi ngazo lihlanganyele esimeni sobuNkulunkulu njalo liphephe ekonakaleni kwasemhlabeni okubangelwa yizinkanuko ezimbi.
5 Ma reira nei hoki, me whakapau rawa to koutou uaua, honoa iho ano te pai ki runga ki to koutou whakapono; ki runga hoki ki te pai ko te matauranga;
Ngenxa yalesisizatho, yenzani imizamo yonke ukuba lengeze ukulunga ekukholweni kwenu; lekulungeni lengeze ukwazi;
6 Ki runga ki te matauranga ko te pehi o te hiahia; ki runga ki te pehi o te hiahia ko te manawanui; ki runga ki te manawanui ko te karakia pai;
ekwazini lengeze ukuzithiba; ekuzithibeni lengeze ukubekezela; ekubekezeleni lengeze ukumesaba uNkulunkulu;
7 Ki runga ki te karakia pai ko te atawhai ki nga teina; ki runga ki te atawhai ki nga teina ko te aroha.
ekumesabeni uNkulunkulu lengeze umusa wobuzalwane; lasemuseni wobuzalwane lengeze uthando.
8 Ki te mea hoki kei a koutou enei mea, ki te nui haere hoki, ka meinga koutou kia kaua e mangere, kia kaua e huakore i runga i te matauranga ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti.
Ngoba nxa lilalezizinto ngokwanda kwazo, zizalinqanda ekubeni ngabangafezi lutho labangelazithelo ekwazini kwenu iNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu.
9 Ko te tangata hoki kahore nei i a ia enei mea, he matapo, he atarua, kua wareware ki te horoinga o ona hara o mua.
Kodwa nxa umuntu engelazo ubona kalufifi njalo uyisiphofu, ekhohlwa ukuthi usehlanjululwe ezonweni zakhe zakudala.
10 Mo konei, e oku teina, kia puta to koutou uaua ki te whakapumau i to koutou karangatanga, i to koutou whiriwhiringa: ki te penei hoki ta koutou mahi e kore rawa koutou e tapepa:
Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, tshisekelani kakhulu ukwenza ukubizwa lokukhethwa kwenu kuqiniseke. Ngoba nxa lisenza lezizinto kalizukuwa,
11 Penei hoki ka whiwhi nui koutou ki te huarahi tomo atu ki te rangatiratanga mutungakore o to tatou Ariki, ara o te Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu Karaiti. (aiōnios )
njalo lizakwamukelwa ngokupheleleyo embusweni olaphakade weNkosi loMsindisi wethu uJesu Khristu. (aiōnios )
12 Mo reira ano e kore ahau e mangere ki te whakamahara tonu i a koutou ki enei mea, e matau ana raia koutou, kua oti ano te whakau ki runga ki te mea pono, kei a koutou na.
Ngakho ngizahlala ngilikhumbuza lezizinto, lanxa lizazi njalo liqinile ngokupheleleyo eqinisweni eselilalo.
13 Ki toku whakaaro hoki, i ahau e noho ana i tenei tapenakara, he mea tika ano kia whakaoho ahau i a koutou, kia whakamahara;
Ngibona kufanele ukuba ngilikhumbuze nxa ngisaphila kulelithente lomzimba lo,
14 E mohio ana hoki ahau e kore e wheau ka mahue tenei tapenakara oku, ka pera ano me ta to tatou Ariki, me ta Ihu Karaiti, i whakakite mai ai ki ahau.
ngoba ngiyakwazi ukuthi ngizaphanga ngilibeke eceleni, njengoba iNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu isikwenze kwabasobala kimi.
15 Ka puta ano hoki toku uaua kia mau tonu to koutou mahara ki enei mea i muri i toku matenga.
Njalo ngizakwenza imizamo yonke ukubona ukuthi emva kokusuka kwami lizahlala lizikhumbula lezizinto.
16 Ehara hoki i te mea he whai ta matou i nga kupu i totoa e te whakaaro tinihanga, i te whakapuakanga o te kaha, o te haerenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou; engari he kaititiro ano matou ki tona nui.
Sasingalandeli izinganekwane ezaqaliswa ngokuhlakanipha lapho silitshela ngamandla langokuza kweNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu kodwa sasingofakazi bobukhosi bakhe.
17 I riro hoki ia ia he honore, he kororia na te Atua Matua, i te putanga mai o taua reo ki a ia i roto i te kororia nui rawa, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai.
Ngoba wamukela udumo lenkazimulo kuNkulunkulu uBaba lapho ilizwi lifika kuye livela eNkazimulweni yoBukhosi, lisithi, “Le yiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngayo.”
18 I rongo ano matou ki tenei reo e puta mai ana i te rangi, i a matou i tona taha i runga i te maunga tapu.
Thina ngokwethu salizwa ilizwi lelo elavela ezulwini silaye phezu kwentaba engcwele.
19 Katahi ka u rawa te kupu poropiti ki a tatou inaianei; pai tonu ki te anga to koutou whakaaro ki reira, he rama hoki e tiaho ana i te wahi pouri, kia puao ra ano te ra, kia ara ra ano te whetu o te ata i roto i o koutou ngakau:
Njalo ilizwi labaphrofethi seliqiniswe kakhulu, futhi kuzakuba kuhle kini ukuba lilinake njengesibane esikhanyise endaweni emnyama, kuze kuse lendonsakusa ize iphume ezinhliziyweni zenu.
20 Kia mohio hoki i te tuatahi, kahore he poropititanga o te karaipiture nona ake ona tikanga.
Phezu kwakho konke, kumele liqedisise ukuthi akukho siphrofethi soMbhalo esavela ngokuchasisa okungokomphrofethi.
21 Ehara hoki i te mea na te whakaaro o te tangata i puta mai ai te poropititanga i mua, engari he mea whakamahara na te Wairua Tapu i korero ai nga tangata tapu a te Atua.
Ngoba isiphrofethi kasizange sivele entandweni yomuntu, kodwa abantu bakhuluma kuvela kuNkulunkulu beholwa nguMoya oNgcwele.
