2 Peteru 3
1 Waganja wangu, alu vinu ndo luhamba lwa pili lwanuwalembera. Mumahamba aga mawili njeriti kuyumusiya nfiru ziherepa mumahala genu kwa kuwaholuziya vitwatira avi.
This [is] now, beloved, a second letter I write to you, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you]
2 Nfira muviholi visoweru vyavilongitwi makashu na wambuyi wananagala wa Mlungu, na lilagaliru lilii lyawapananitwi na Mtuwa na Mlopoziya kupitira wantumintumi wenu.
to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior,
3 Pamberi pa aga, mfiruwa kuvimana kuwera mashaka ga upeleru hawizi wantu weni magenderanu gawu gakolwamlima na matamata zyawu zidoda, na hawawabezi.
knowing this first, that there will come scoffers in the last days, going on according to their own desires,
4 Womberi hawalongi, “Yomberi kawalagiliti kuwera hakizi, su vinu kakoshi? Vitwatira ndo viraa virii kwanjira wambuyi wetu pawahowiti, vintu ndo viraa virii ntambu yaviweriti kwanja pa kuwumbwa pasipanu!”
and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation”;
5 Womberi kwa ng'anji wawulekiti unanaka awu kuwera Mlungu katakuliti shisoweru, mpindi ziweriti kwanjira makashu na pasipanu panyawitwi kulawa mumashi,
for this they willingly conceal, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth having been established by the word of God out of water and through water,
6 na Mlungu kagalagiliriti mafuriku ga mashi gahalibisiyi pasipanu pa makashu.
through which the world then, having been flooded by water, was destroyed;
7 Kumbiti kwa shisoweru shilaa ashi mpindi zya vinu na pasipanu zitulwa kwajili ya kuhalibisiwa kwa motu, pazitulwa mpaka lishaka lilii lya kuwatoza na kuwagamiziya wantu yawamguwira ndiri Mlungu.
and by the same word, the present heavens and earth, having been stored up for fire, are being preserved until [the] day of judgment and destruction of impious men.
8 Waganja wangu, kumbiti namulyaluwa shintu shimu! Kulongolu kwa Mtuwa, lishaka limu liwera gambira vinja elufu yimu na vinja elufu yimu iwera gambira lishaka limu.
And do not let this one thing be concealed from you, beloved, that one day with the LORD [is] as one thousand years and one thousand years as one day;
9 Mtuwa kakawa ndiri kugatenda galii gakalagiliti gambira wantu wamonga ntambu yawalihola kuwera hakakawi. Yomberi kahepelera toziya ya mwenga, toziya kafira ndiri ata yumu gwenu kagamiri, kumbiti kawakwega woseri wapati kuleka vidoda vyawatenda.
the LORD is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not intending any to be lost, but all to come to conversion,
10 Kumbiti lishaka lya Mtuwa halizi gambira shimpegu. Mpindi haziyagamiri kwa lirindimiru likulu, na kila shintu sha kulyera hashagamiziwi kwa motu, na pasipanu na kila shintu shashiweramu havilekwi hera.
and it will come—the Day of the LORD—as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements will be dissolved with burning heat, and [the] earth and the works in it will not be found.
11 Toziya kila shintu hashiharabisiwi kwa ntambu ayi, su mwenga hamuweri wantu wantambu gaa? Mwenga mfiruwa kulikala makaliru mananagala na kumjimira Mlungu na kumpanana ligoya,
All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be in holy behaviors and pious acts,
12 pamulihepa lishaka lilii lya Mlungu na kulitenda lizi kanongola, lishaka lyeni mpindi hazilunguziwi nakamu kwa motu na kuhalibisiwa, na vintu vya kulyera haviyeyuki kwa livuki.
waiting for and hurrying the coming of the Day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with burning heat?
13 Kumbiti kulawirana na lagila lya Mlungu, twankuhepa kuwera hakuweri na mpindi ya syayi na pasipanu pa syayi, pahala pa wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu.
And we wait for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness dwells;
14 Waganja wangu, pamuwera mwankulihepa lishaka lilii, mgangamali mukuherepa nentu pota na likosa lyoseri kulongolu kwa Mlungu, na kuwera na ponga nayomberi.
for this reason, beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, to be found by Him in peace,
15 Mwenga mfiruwa kuwona uhepelera wa Mtuwa kuwera ndo lupenu lyakawapanana su mpati kulopoziwa gambira Paulu mlongu gwetu yatumfira ntambu yakawalembiriti kwa luhala lyakapananitwi na Mlungu.
and count the long-suffering of our Lord [as] salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul—according to the wisdom given to him—wrote to you,
16 Yomberi kalembiti shintu shilaa shilii mumahamba goseri pakavilongera vitwatira avi. Mumahamba gakuwi galii kwana vitwatira vyamonga vyavikamala kuvimana, wantu yawawera wazigizigi na yawagangamala ndiri ntambu yawagalambula mana ya Malembu Mananagala gamonga, su wagapotuziya kwa magomiziwu gawu weni.
as also in all the letters, speaking in them concerning these things, among which are some things [that are] hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable twist, as also the other Writings, to their own destruction.
17 Kumbiti kwa mwenga walongu wangu, mushimaniti kala shitwatira ashi. Su mulikali weri namwiza kupotuziwa na mafundu ga makosa ga wantu yawagajimira ndiri malagaliru na kuguwa kulawa muwugangamala wenu uherepa.
You, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, you may fall from your own steadfastness,
18 Kumbiti mwendereyi kukula mumanemu na kumumana Mtuwa na Mlopoziya gwetu Yesu Kristu. Ukwisa uweri kwakuwi, vinu na ata mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn g165)
and increase in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; to Him [is] the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
