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, servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted an equal faith with us in the justice of our God and in our Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Manemu na ponga gongereki kwa mwenga mukummana Mlungu na Yesu Mtuwa gwetu.
Grace to you. And may peace be fulfilled according to the plan of God and of Christ 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.
in the same manner that all things which are for life and piety have been given to us by his Divine virtue, through the plan of him who has called us to our own glory and virtue.
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 Christ, he has given us the greatest and most precious promises, so that by these things you may become sharers in the Divine Nature, fleeing from the corruption of that desire which is in the world.
5 Toziya ayi, mgangamali kwongera njimiru yenu kwa uheri na kwa uheri wenu kwongera kuvimana,
But as for you, taking up every concern, minister virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;
6 na kwa kuvimana kwenu mwongeri kulikolamlima na kwa kulikolamlima kwenu mwongeri uhepelera na kwa uhepelera wenu mwongeri kumguwira Mlungu.
and in knowledge, moderation; and in moderation, patience; and in patience, piety;
7 Kwa kumguwira Mlungu mwongeri uganja wa shirongu na kwa uganja wa shirongu mwongeri mafiliru.
and in piety, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
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 are with you, and if they abound, they will cause you to be neither empty, nor without fruit, within the plan 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.
For he who does not have these things at hand is blind and groping, being forgetful of his purification from his former offenses.
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,
Because of this, brothers, be all the more diligent, so that by good works you may make certain your calling and election. For in doing these things, you do not sin at any time.
11 na mwenga hamulekeziwi nakamu kwingira muufalumi wa mashaka goseri wa Mtuwa na Mlopoziya gwetu Yesu Kristu. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way, you shall be provided abundantly with an entrance 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.
For this reason, I will always begin to admonish you about these things, even though, certainly, you know them and are confirmed in the present truth.
13 Mona kuwera shitwatira shiherepa kwaneni kuwayumusiya na kuwaholuziya vitwatira avi, shipindi shoseri shanulikala pasipanu,
But I consider it just, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up with admonishments.
14 toziya nuvimana kuwera kanongola hanfuwi, Mtuwa Yesu kristu ntambu yakang'ambiriti pota kufifa.
For it is certain that the laying to rest of this, my tabernacle, is approaching swiftly, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has also indicated to me.
15 Su hantendi kila shaweza nakaka su pakuhowa kwaneni, mwenga hamuwezi kuvihola vitwatira avi shipindi shoseri.
Therefore, I will present a work for you to have, so that, frequently after my passing, you may call to mind these things.
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 it was not by following fanciful doctrines that we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were made eyewitnesses of his greatness.
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 honor and glory from God the Father, whose voice descended to him from the magnificent glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
18 Kayi twenga twaweni tupikaniriti liziwu ali kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu shipindi patuweriti pamuhera nayomberi palugongu lunanagala.
We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
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 so, we have an even firmer prophetic word, to which you would do well to listen, as to a light shining within a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts.
20 Pa aga, mfiruwa kuvimana kuwera kwahera muntu yakaweza kuwutakulira kwa mahala gakuwi mweni mana ya umbuyi yawuwera Mumalembu Mananagala.
Understand this first: that every prophecy of Scripture does not result from one’s own interpretation.
21 Toziya kwahera ujumbi wa shimbuyi woseri yawulawirana na mafiliru ga shimuntu, kumbiti wantu walaviyiti umbuyi wa Mlungu pawalongoziwa na Rohu Mnanagala.
For prophecy was not conveyed by human will at any time. Instead, holy men were speaking about God while inspired by the Holy Spirit.
