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.
Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith as precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Nikuvaganila ubwina wa Chapanga na uteke wamahele mukummanya Chapanga na Yesu BAMBU witu.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of 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.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by 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.
Through these he has given us his precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires.
5 Ndava yeniyo, mkangamala myonjokesa ubwina musadika, na ubwina winu myonjokesa mumanya winu,
For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, your virtue with knowledge,
6 mukumanya kwinu muyonjokesa kujilongosa mwavene, na mukujilongosa mwavene muyonjokesa usindimala na mukusindimala muyonjokesa kumyogopa Chapanga,
your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,
7 na mukuyogopa Chapanga myonjokesa unkozi wa chiulongo na pa genago yonjokesa uganu kwa vandu voha.
your godliness with brotherly affection, and your brotherly affection with love.
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 you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and 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 whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten the cleansing of his former 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.
Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm that you are among those whom God has called and chosen, because if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 Kwa kukita genago yati myidikiliwa njwe kuyingila muunkosi wa magono goha gangali mwishu wa BAMBU na Msangula witu Yesu Kilisitu. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you. (aiōnios g166)
12 Hinu yati niyendelela kuvakumbusa magono goha mambu aga, pamonga mmali kugamanya na mkangamili muuchakaka wemwaupokili.
Therefore, I will not neglect to keep reminding you about these things, though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
13 Niwona ndi lijambu labwina kwangu, lukumbi lwoha lwenitama mumi pamulima apa, kuvakenyemusa na kuvakumbusa kuvala mambu aga.
I think it is right, as long as I am in this bodily tent, to stir you up by way of reminder,
14 Muni nimanyili kuvya papipi yati nikuyivika patali higa iyi yeyifwa, ngati BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu cheanijovili hotohoto.
because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15 Hinu, ndi yati nikita chochoha chenihotola, muni nikafwayi mugakumbukai mambu aga lukumbi lwoha.
And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure you will be able to recall these things at any time.
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 did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
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 honor and glory from God the Father when that voice came to him from the Majestic Glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
18 Kangi, tavete tayuwini lwami ulo kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, lukumbi patavili pamonga nayu panani ya chitumbi chamsopi.
We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
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.
So we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed. You will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Neju pa ago, mkumbuka kawaka mundu mweihotola kudandaula mwene ujumbi kuhuma kwa Chapanga weuvili mu Mayandiku Gamsopi.
First of all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own 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 no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
