2 Petro 1
1 Simoni Petro, Mmanda na mtume wa Yesu Kristo, kwa balo baipokile imani yeyelo ya thamani kati twaipokile twenga, imani yaibile nkati ya haki ya Nnongo na mwokozi witu Yesu Kristo.
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained faith, equally as precious as our own, in the plan of justification revealed by our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Neema ibe kwinu, amani iyongeyekeye pitya maarifa ga Nnongo na Ngwana witu Yesu.
grace be to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgment of God, and Jesus our Lord.
3 Pitya maarifa ga Nnongo tupatike makowe gake yote kwa ajili ya uchaji wa maisha. Boka kwa Nnongo ywatukemile kwa ajili ya uzuru wa utukufu wake.
As his divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who has called us by his glorious power,
4 Kwa ndela yee atitutumanisha ahadi ngolo ya thamani. Apangite nyoo ili kutupanga barithi ba asili ya Nnongo, kwa kadiri tuyendelya kuuleka ubou wa dunia yee.
through which things very great and precious favors that were promised have been given us, that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through desire:
5 Kwa sababu yee, mupange bidii kuongeza uzuri kwa ndela ya imani yinu, kwa sababu ya uzuri, maarifa.
so, even for this very purpose, uniting to these things all diligence, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
6 Pitya maarifa, kiasi, pitya kiasi saburi, na pitya saburi utauwa.
and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 Pitya utuwa upendo wa alongo na pitya upendo wa alongo, upendo.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8 Mana makowe aga gabile nkati yinu, yayendelya kukua nkati yinu, bai mwenga mwapangika kwaa tasa au bandu babeleka kwaa matunda katika maarifa ga Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they cause you to be neither idle, nor unfruitful as it respects the acknowledgment of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Lakini yeyote ywabile kwaa na makowe aga, ugabona makowe ga papipi kae; ywembe nga ipofu, atisahau utakaso ba sambi yake ya kale.
But he who is wanting in these things is blind, and closes his eyes, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Kwa eyo, alongo bango, mupange juhudi ili kujihakikishia uteule na wito kwa ajili yinu. Kati mugapanga aga, mwalowa kuikwaa.
Wherefore, brethren, give the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you will never fall.
11 Nga nyoo mwaipatia bingi ba nnango wa jingya katika upwalume wangayomoka wa Ngwana witu na nkochopoli Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
For thus will an entrance be given you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Kwa eyo nenga nalowa pangika tayari kuwakombokya makowe aga kila mara, hata kama mwayatanga, nambeambe mubile imara katika kweli.
Wherefore, I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Nawaza kuwa nibile sahihi kubaamsha na kuwakombokya nnani ya makowe aga, ningali nibile nkati ya hema lee.
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you by putting you in remembrance.
14 Kwa mana nitangite kuwa muda kwaa mrefu nalowa liondoa lihema lyango, kati Ngwana Yesu Kristo atubonekeya.
For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.
15 Nalowa jitahidi kwa bidii kwa ajili yinu ili mkombokeye makowe aga baada ya nenga kuboka.
But I will earnestly endeavor that you may be able, even after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Kwa mana twenga twafata kwaa hadithi zatijingya kwa ustadi palo patulongela nnani ya ngupu na kujidhihirisha kwa Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo, ila twenga tubile mashahidi ba utukufu wake.
For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Ywembe ywapokile utukufu na heshima boka kwa Nnongo tate palo lilobe liyowanike boka katika utukufu nkolo yatibaya.”Ayoo nga mwana wango, mpendwa wango ambaye ywatipendezwa niywembe.”
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came to him from the magnificent glory a voice, such as this: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
18 Tuyowine lilobe lee iboka kumaunde palo tubile niywembe katika chelo kitombe kitakatifu.
And this voice, which came from heaven, we heard when we were with him in the holy mount;
19 Tubile ni lee neno lya unabii lyalithibitike, ambalo kwa lee mwapanga vyema kuliteketeza. Kati taa ya'ing'ara mulibendo mpaka bwamba na ndondwa ga mawio zatibonekana katika mioyo yinu.
and we have the prophetic word better established. You do well to attend to this, as to a lamp that shines in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in your hearts;
20 Mutangite aga panga, ntopo unabii wauandikilwe kwa sababu ya kuwaza mwabene kwa nabii mwene.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture came from private interpretation:
21 Kwa mana ntopo unabii wabile kwa mapenzi ga bandu, ila bandu bapangilwe na Roho mtakatifu ywalongela boka kwa Nnongo.
for the prophecy came not at any time by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
