2 Peteru 1
1 Neni Simoni Peteru, mtenda lihengu na ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu, nankuwalembera mwenga kwa uheri wa Yesu Kristu yakawera Mlungu gwetu na Mlopoziya gwetu, mpananwa njimiru teratera na yatwenga.
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 Manemu na ponga gongereki kwa mwenga mukummana Mlungu na Yesu Mtuwa gwetu.
grace be to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgment of God, and Jesus our Lord.
3 Kwa makakala gakuwi ga shimlungu, Mlungu katupanana vitwatira vyoseri vyatuvifira mumakaliru ga kumguwira kwa kummana mweni yakatushemiti tutendi pamuhera muukulu na kwa uheri wa ukwisa wakuwi na uherepa wakuwi.
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 Kupitira avi yomberi katupanana twenga mafupu makulu na ga mana nentu, su kwa mafupu aga mpati kuzishapira upotuziya wa matamata zidoda zyaziwera pasipanu na kutenda pamuhera muntambu yakuwi ya shimlungu.
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 Toziya ayi, mgangamali kwongera njimiru yenu kwa uheri na kwa uheri wenu kwongera kuvimana,
so, even for this very purpose, uniting to these things all diligence, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
6 na kwa kuvimana kwenu mwongeri kulikolamlima na kwa kulikolamlima kwenu mwongeri uhepelera na kwa uhepelera wenu mwongeri kumguwira Mlungu.
and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 Kwa kumguwira Mlungu mwongeri uganja wa shirongu na kwa uganja wa shirongu mwongeri mafiliru.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8 Pamuhera na goseri aga kwa uvuwa, haziwatendi muweri watenda lihengu yawafaa na kuwera na mota mukummana Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
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 Kumbiti muntu yakahera aga kawera lwisi na kaweza ndiri kuwona na kalyaluwa kuwera kapungitwi kala vidoda vyakuwi vya makashu.
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 Su walongu wangu, mgangamali nentu kuwutenda ushemwa wenu na usyagula wenu kwa Mlungu, shiweri shitwatira sha mashaka goseri. Handa pamulikala ntambu ayi, hapeni mulikwali nakamu,
Wherefore, brethren, give the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you will never fall.
11 na mwenga hamulekeziwi nakamu kwingira muufalumi wa mashaka goseri wa Mtuwa na Mlopoziya gwetu Yesu Kristu. (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 Su hanendereyi kuwaholuziya mashaka goseri vitwatira avi, tembera muvimaniti kala na mgangamala muunakaka yamuwuwankiti.
Wherefore, I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Mona kuwera shitwatira shiherepa kwaneni kuwayumusiya na kuwaholuziya vitwatira avi, shipindi shoseri shanulikala pasipanu,
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you by putting you in remembrance.
14 toziya nuvimana kuwera kanongola hanfuwi, Mtuwa Yesu kristu ntambu yakang'ambiriti pota kufifa.
For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.
15 Su hantendi kila shaweza nakaka su pakuhowa kwaneni, mwenga hamuwezi kuvihola vitwatira avi shipindi shoseri.
But I will earnestly endeavor that you may be able, even after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Shipindi patuwafunditi kuusu makakala gakuwi na kwiza kwakuwi Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, tulitumbira ndiri tambu hera zya upayira. Twenga tuwoniti ukwisa wakuwi kwa masu getu twaweni.
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 Twenga tuweriti shipindi pakapananitwi ligoya na ukwisa kulawa kwa Mlungu Tati, shipindi liziwu palimwiziriti kulawa kwakuwi yomberi yakawera Mlungu Mkulu, palilonga, “Ayu ndo Mwana gwangu yanumfira nentu, nherepeziwa nayomberi.”
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 Kayi twenga twaweni tupikaniriti liziwu ali kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu shipindi patuweriti pamuhera nayomberi palugongu lunanagala.
And this voice, which came from heaven, we heard when we were with him in the holy mount;
19 Na twenga twana unakaka nentu kuusu ujumbi wa wambuyi wa Mlungu na mwenga hamutendi weri pamushipikanira nakaka, toziya shiwera gambira shikoluboyi shashilangalira muluwindu mpaka papawera mandawira na ntondu ya mandawira ilawiri mumyoyu mwenu.
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 Pa aga, mfiruwa kuvimana kuwera kwahera muntu yakaweza kuwutakulira kwa mahala gakuwi mweni mana ya umbuyi yawuwera Mumalembu Mananagala.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture came from private interpretation:
21 Toziya kwahera ujumbi wa shimbuyi woseri yawulawirana na mafiliru ga shimuntu, kumbiti wantu walaviyiti umbuyi wa Mlungu pawalongoziwa na Rohu Mnanagala.
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.
