< 2 Peteru 2 >

1 Palawiriti wambuyi yawapayira pakati pa wantu na ntambu iraa ayi wafunda wa upayira hawalawili pakati penu. Wantu awa hawayingiziyi mafundu ga upayira gagajega uharabisiya na kumlema Mtuwa yakawakomboriti na kwa njira ayi hawajegi vumu maharabisiwu makulu kwawu weni.
But there were false prophets, too, among the people, just as among you also there will be false teachers. These will secretly bring in destructive sects, denying even the Master who bought them, and bringing swift ruin upon themselves.
2 Kayi wantu wavuwa hawazifati njira zyawu zya undiyandiya na toziya ya shilii shawatenda su njira ya unakaka hayigilangwi.
Then there will be many who will follow their immorality, because of whom the Way of the Truth will be maligned.
3 Kwa matamata zyawu zidoda zya ulunda hawapati mota kwa kuwagambira tambu zya upayira. Mlungu katuliti kwanjira makashu kuwera hakawatozi na kagonja ndiri, nakaka hakawaharabisiyi nakamu!
In their covetousness, with cunning words, they will make merchandise of you; those whose doom has not been idle from of old, and whose destruction has not been slumbering.
4 Mlungu kawalekiti ndiri wantumintumi wa kumpindi pawatenditi vidoda, su kawasiti pahala pa ntabiku, kweni aku watawitwi kwa minyololu muluwindu dunu pawahepa lishaka lya kutoza kwawu. (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to chains of darkness, and reserved them for judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Viraa Mlungu kapalekiti ndiri pasipanu pa makashu, su kajegiti mafuriku gavuwa paisi kwa wantu yawamguwiriti ndiri Mlungu, kumbiti Nuhu yakawubweriti uheri, Mlungu kamlopoziyiti mweni pamuhera na wantu wamonga saba.
if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon an ungodly world;
6 Viraa Mlungu kalutoziti lushi zya Sodoma na Gomora na kalilunguziyiti tikitiki kwa motu, kazitenda ziweri mfanu gwa vitwatira haviwapati wantu yawamguwira ndiri Mlungu,
if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, thus holding them up as a warning to all who would live ungodly;
7 na kamlopoziyiti Lutu, muntu yakamfiriziyiti Mlungu, muntu yakahinginikiti nentu na mgenderanu gwa undiyandiya gwa wantu yawatenditi ukondola.
and he delivered righteous Lot who was worn out by the lascivious life of the wicked
8 Lutu yakaweriti muntu yakamfiriziyiti Mlungu, kalikaliti pakati pawu na kila lishaka moyu gwakuwi guweriti na hinginiku nentu kwa kupikinira na kugawona matendu gawu ga udoda gawatenditi.
(for that righteous man, living among them, tormented his righteous soul in seeing and hearing, day after day, their lawless deeds),
9 Payiwera hangu, Mtuwa kavimana ntambu ya kuwalopoziya mumajeru wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na ntambu ya kuwatula wantu yawatenda ukondola su kawaazibu mulishaka lya utoza.
then be sure that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the wicked (who are even now enduring punishment) for the "Day of Judgment";
10 Nakamu kwa walii yawafata matamata zidoda zya nshimba na kuwubeza uwezu wa Mlungu. Kwa msindu na masinganu, wantu awa watira ndiri na wavitakulira madoda viwumbi vyaviwera na ukwisa kumpindi.
especially those who spend their lives following the flesh in the lust of defilement, and in despising all authority. Audacious and wilful, they feel no awe in railing against dignities;
11 Kumbiti ata wantumintumi wa kumpindi, womberi wawera na uwezu na makakala nentu, wawasitaki ndiri kwakwigiranga viwumbi avi kulongolu kwa Mtuwa.
even where angels, though surpassing them in strength and might, do not bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
12 Kumbiti wantu awa wavigilanga vitwatira vyawavimana ndiri, su womberi walifana na wankanyama yawahera mahala, wayiwuka na shakapanu wakamulwa na kulagwa na gambira wankanyama wakalipa womberi viraa hawagamiziwi nakamu.
But these men, like irrational creatures, mere animals, born to be taken and destroyed, continually rail about matters of which they know nothing. In their corruption they will surely be destroyed,
13 Womberi hawapati ntabiku kwa ntabiku yawayijegiti. Nemeleru zyawu ndo kutenda vitwatira vya staleyi zya nshimba paliwala. Womberi wawera madodisiya na soni hera pawanemelera njira zyawu zya upayira pawatenda msambu pamuhera na mwenga.
suffering wrong as the wage of wrong which they have done. These are men who count it pleasure to carouse in open daylight; they are spots and blemishes reveling in their deceit, even while they are feasting with you.
14 Masu gawu gamema uhumba na hapeni waleki kutenda vidoda. Wazyangazyanga walii yawagangamala ndiri, womberi moyu yawu izowelera kuwera na matamata zya ulunda, wapangilirwa na Mlungu.
They have eyes full of harlots, eyes that cannot stop sinning. They entice unsteady souls. Their heart is trained in greed. They are an accursed generation.
15 Wayileka njira yayinyoshikiti, womberi wagamiriti na kufata njira ya yakayigendiriti Balamu mwana gwa Biori yakafiriti shibenamgongu sha ukondola.
They have forsaken the right way; they have lost their way, and followed the road of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrong-doing.
16 Kumbiti toziya ukondola wakuwi su kakalipiritwi na nkanyama punda yakatakula ndiri na katakuliti kwa liziwu lya muntu na kumlewelera mbuyi ayu gwa Mlungu yakafiriti kutenda shintu sha lukwali.
He was, however, rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with a man’s voice, and stopped the madness of the prophet.
17 Wantu awa wawera gambira mbwiru zyaziyumiti ama gambira mawundu yagasukumitwi na lipuga likulu, luwindu dunu litulwa kala kwajili womberi. (questioned)
Such men are like waterless springs, or mists storm-driven; for them the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
18 Toziya womberi watakuliti visoweru vizigizigi na kwa matamata zidoda zya nshimba na undiyandiya wawazyanga wantu yawanjiti kulitula gweka pa wantu yawalikaliti muwupayira.
For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they entangle, by their lasciviousness, in the lusts of the flesh, those who are just about to escape from the men that live in misconduct.
19 Womberi wawalagira ulekeziwu, uganu womberi weni wawera wamanda wa ukondola toziya muntu kawera mumanda gwa shintu shoseri shashimkolamlima.
They promise them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of rottenness! (For indeed a man is the slave of anything which masters him.)
20 Wantu yawalituliti gweka muukondola wa pasipanu kwa kumumana Mtuwa na Mlopoziya gwetu Yesu Kristu, shakapanu wajimira kayi kugomiziwa na kusinda, su wantu awa hawaweri wadoda kuliku kwanja ntambu yawaweriti.
For if, after having escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, men are again entangled in them and overpowered, their last state is become worse than their first.
21 Meiweri mbaka kwa womberi kuwera mewavimani ndiri nakamu njira yaimfiriziya Mlungu kuliku kuyimana shakapanu kuyileka na kulyagamiziya lilagaliru linanagala lyawapananitwi.
Indeed it would have been better for them not to have known the Way of Righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them.
22 Kwana mesali yayilonga, “Ng'ang'a kagawuyira galii gakatapikiti,” na, “Mtumbi yakaguluritwi kala kagalagataga kayi mumadika.” Ntambu ayi iwera kwawu vinu.
In their case it has happened according to the true proverb, The dog returns again to his own vomit, and The sow, after washing, to her wallowing in the mire.
