2 Petili 2
1 Pahumalili na vamlota vaudese pagati ya vandu, na mewawa vawula va udese yati vihumila pagati yinu. Vandu venavo yati viyingisa chamfiyu mawuliwu ga udese na kumbela BAMBU mweavagombwili, ndava yeniyo yati vakujiletela kuyongomela kwavi vene.
Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
2 Kavili vandu vamahele yati vakuzilanda njila zavi zezileta soni, ndava yavi, vandu vangi yati vakuyivevesa njila ya chakaka.
And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
3 Ndava ya mnogo wavi uhakau yati vakujipatila mashonga kuhuma kwinu kwa kuvajovela humu za udese. Nambu Chapanga amalili kuhamula kuhumila kadeni kuvya yati akuvahamula, na avi mihu chakaka yati akuvakoma.
Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
4 Yikavya Chapanga avahengili lepi lipyana vamitumi va kunani kwa Chapanga vevambudili, nambu avatagili pandu pepavi na mang'ahiso kuni vakungiwi minyololo kuchitita ng'ong'olo, vilindila ligono la kuhamuliwa. (Tartaroō g5020)
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Mewawa Chapanga ahengili lepi lipyana mulima wa kadeni, penapo peatonyisi fula yeyaletili manji gamahele gaugubika mulima wewavili na vandu vangamyogopa Chapanga. Nambu amsangwili Nuhu mweavi akuvakokosela vandu vakita gegakumganisa Chapanga, pamonga na vandu vangi saba.
He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
6 Chapanga abunili milima ya Sodoma na Gomola, akayitinyisa kwa motu, akayikita yivya luhumu lwa mambu gegakuvapata vandu vangamyogopa Chapanga.
He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
7 Amsangwili Lutu, mweakitayi gegakumganisa Chapanga, ndi mweaviniswi na kutama kwavi kwa uhakau kwa vandu vevabelili Malagizu.
But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
8 Loti atamili pagati ya vandu avo, na ang'ahiki neju mumtima waki kila ligono pealolayi na kuyuwana matendu gavi gahakau gevakitayi.
That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
9 Hinu ndi, BAMBU amanyili chakuvagombola mukulingiwa vandu vevakumuyupa Chapanga, nambu amanyili kuvavika vandu vahakau mumbunu mbaka ligono Chapanga peihamula vandu va mulima,
And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
10 ndi vala vevilanda umnogo uhakau weuhakasa wa higa na kuvevesa uhotola. Vawula ava va udese ndi vinonopa mitima na vevimeka, vakuviliga na vavitopesa lepi viumbi vyevina ukulu vya kunani kwa Chapanga.
[He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
11 Nambu hati vamitumu va Chapanga vana makakala neju kuliku vawula vaudese avo, nambu vakuvatakila lepi na kuvaliga viumbi avo palongolo ya BAMBU.
In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
12 Vandu avo veviliga chochoha chila vangachimanya. Ndi ngati hinyama yangali luhala, ndi vevilekewa na mwanakandahi vikamuliwa na kuhinjwa, kwevilanda chevawumbiwi. Yati vikomiwa ndava ya uhalabisa wavi vene.
Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
13 Yati vilipiswa mang'ahiso ndava ya mang'ahiso gevahengili. Vene vihekelela kukita chochoha chechikuvaganisa mu mnogo wa higa zavi kangi ndi muhi njwee. Vandu venavo vana mwenendu uhakau na soni peviwungana na nyenye mukuvagongolela wa mselebuko wa muchakulya chinu, kuni vihekelela njila zavi za udese.
God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
14 Mihu gavi gamemili ukemi na katu vileka lepi kumbudila Chapanga. Vene vakuvalongosa vandu vangayima chakukangamala mumitegu ya kumbudila Chapanga. Mitima yavi yiyovalili kuvya na mnogo wa kuvya na vindu vyamahele. Vene vapewi likoto na Chapanga!
They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
15 Vayilekili njila yaselede, vakayaga na kuyilanda njila ya Balaamu, mwana wa Beoli ndi mwayovalili kupata mashonga kwa kukita uhakau,
They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
16 akaywangiwa ndava ya uhakau waki. Lipunda langahotola kujova, likalongela kwa lwami lwa mundu, adivalili lupengu lwa mlota uyo.
But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
17 Vandu avo ndi ngati chinyepa zeziyumili ngati mahundi gegibuluswa na mpungu, Chapanga avavikili matamilu gavi pahala pa chitita chikulu. (questioned)
These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
18 Vijova malovi gakumeka na gangavya gabwina, na kwa mnogo wavi uhakau wa higa kuvayonja vandu vala vevajibagwili magono gagaga na vandu vevitama mukumbudila Chapanga.
By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
19 Vakuvajovela vandu yati vilekekeswa kuhuma kuuvanda, pamonga vene ndi vavanda va vindu vyevihabisa wumi wavi, muni mundu ndi mvanda wa chochoha chila chechimtalalila.
[The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
20 Vandu vevamalili kulema muubuda wa mumulima kwa kugana kummanya BAMBU na Msangula witu Yesu Kilisitu, kangi vayidakili kukamuliwa na kuhotoleka lepi na uhaku, vandu venavo yati vivya vahakau neju kuliku pevatumbwili.
Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
21 Ngayivi mbanga kwavi ngati ngavakotoka kumanya njila yeniyo ya kumganisa Chapanga kuliku kuyimanya na kangi kuyileka na kuyagisa malagizu gamsopi gevapokili.
[Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
22 Yivii ngati humu yeyijova, “Libwa liwuyila madekelu gaki lene” Na yingi yeyijova, “Liguluvi lelisambiswi libilinduka kangi mumadakali!” Ndi cheyivili kwavi hinu.
[The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
