2 Petili 1
1 Nene Simoni Petili, mtumisi na mtumi wa Yesu Kilisitu. Nikuvayandikila nyenye mwempokili sadika yilayila yabwina neju yetapokili tete, kwa njila ya ubwina wa Chapanga witu na msangula Yesu Kilisitu.
Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Nikuvaganila ubwina wa Chapanga na uteke wamahele mukummanya Chapanga na Yesu BAMBU witu.
Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord:
3 Kwa makakala gaki ga chi Chapanga, Chapanga atipelili mambu goha getigana muni titama cha kumuyupa na kumlumba Chapanga kwa kummanya mwene mweatikemili titama nayu mkulu na ubwina waki mwene.
As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.
4 Ndava yeniyo atipelili njombi yaki yikulu na zabwina zeajovili akutipela, muni ndava ya njombi zenizo muni muyepa mnogo uhakau weuvi pamulima, na kuvya ngati Chapanga cheigana tivyai.
By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
5 Ndava yeniyo, mkangamala myonjokesa ubwina musadika, na ubwina winu myonjokesa mumanya winu,
And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
6 mukumanya kwinu muyonjokesa kujilongosa mwavene, na mukujilongosa mwavene muyonjokesa usindimala na mukusindimala muyonjokesa kumyogopa Chapanga,
And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
7 na mukuyogopa Chapanga myonjokesa unkozi wa chiulongo na pa genago yonjokesa uganu kwa vandu voha.
And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
8 Mkavya na mambu genago kwa umahele, yati mwivya lepi vakata nambu mwemhotola kukita gabwina na kuvatangatila vangi mukumanya BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Nambu mundu mweangavya na mambu ago ivya ngalola, angahotola kulola vindu vya kutali na akosiwi kuvya amali kunyambiswa kumbudila kwaki Chapanga kwa kadeni.
For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Hinu ndi, valongo vangu mkangamala neju ukemela winu na uhaguliwa wewakitiwi na Chapanga uvya lijambu leliyendelela changali mwishu muwumi winu, ngati mkatama chenicho mgwa lepi mukumbudila Chapanga.
Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
11 Kwa kukita genago yati myidikiliwa njwe kuyingila muunkosi wa magono goha gangali mwishu wa BAMBU na Msangula witu Yesu Kilisitu. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Hinu yati niyendelela kuvakumbusa magono goha mambu aga, pamonga mmali kugamanya na mkangamili muuchakaka wemwaupokili.
For which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed in the present truth.
13 Niwona ndi lijambu labwina kwangu, lukumbi lwoha lwenitama mumi pamulima apa, kuvakenyemusa na kuvakumbusa kuvala mambu aga.
But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
14 Muni nimanyili kuvya papipi yati nikuyivika patali higa iyi yeyifwa, ngati BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu cheanijovili hotohoto.
Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
15 Hinu, ndi yati nikita chochoha chenihotola, muni nikafwayi mugakumbukai mambu aga lukumbi lwoha.
And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things.
16 Lukumbi petivawulili kuuvala ukulu wa kubwela kwaki BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, tavajovili lepi humu za udese kuhuma kwa vandu vevachenjili. Tete talolili ukulu waki mwene kwa mihu gitu.
For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
17 Tete tavi lukumbi lweapewili utopesa na ukulu kuhuma kwa Chapanga dadi, lukumbi lwami palwambwelili mwene mweavi na Ukulu Mkulu, lukajova, “Uyu ndi Mwanangu Mganu mweniganisiwi nayu.”
For he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
18 Kangi, tavete tayuwini lwami ulo kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, lukumbi patavili pamonga nayu panani ya chitumbi chamsopi.
And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 Kavili, ujumbi wewajoviwi vamlota va Chapanga timanyili kuvya wavili wa chakaka na nyenye yati mkita chabwina ngati mukuuyuwanila ujumbi wenuo, muni ngati hahi cheyikuvalangasila muchitita mbaka ligono pekwicha na Kilisitu mweavili ndondo peilangisa mumitima yinu.
And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Neju pa ago, mkumbuka kawaka mundu mweihotola kudandaula mwene ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga weuvili mu Mayandiku Gamsopi.
Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
21 Muni katu kawaka ujumbi Chapanga wabweli lepi ngati vandu chevigana vene, nambu vandu vajovili ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga valongwiswi na Mpungu Msopi.
For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.
