2 OPetro 1
1 Simoni Peturo, Utumwi na tumwa owa Yesu Kilisti hwabhala bhambilile ololezyo lulola olwemonde nashi satahambilile ate, ololesyo lwali mhati mlyoli eya Ngolobhi ofwozi wetu OYesu Kilisti.
To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Savior Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
2 Owene ubhe hulimwe owinza wojelole ashelelee enjele enzya Ngolobhi no Gosi wetu oYesu Kilisti.
May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
3 Ashelelee enjele ezya Ngolobhi zyajile enongwa zyekwe zyoti aeje oputi owesiku, Atume hwa Ngolobhi yatikwizi zye hu winza tutumle hwakwe.
For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
4 Hwidala eli asobhezyezye nantele nakazye evintu abhambile eli nantele atibheshe bhagali hulisi zya Ngolobhe. Shatihwendelela azileshe embibhi ezyamusi ene.
For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
5 Nantele humbombo ene digani alongozye owinza widala elinza lyenyu, nantele, owinza, njele.
Yes, and for this reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
6 Ashilile enjele hashe ashele hashe sabuli ashilile sabuli outauwa.
knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
7 Ashilile outauwa lugano olwa holo na shililo olugano olwaholo, nolugano.
piety by mutual affection, and mutual affection by love.
8 Nkashile enongwa ezi zi hweli muhati mwenyu, nkamuhwedelela akulemuhali mwenyu eshi amwe saga mbhe sembhe bhantu bhasepapa amadondolo nantele enjile ezye gosi wetu oYesu Kristi.
For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Nantele wawoli yasagali nenongwaezi, azilola eviluvili pepe wene, omwene sagalola ayewelwe alyozyo lwembibhi zya kwa hale.
Surely the person who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that they have been purified from their sins of the past!
10 Eshi mwaholobhane mbombo ahwiyomezwe nantele ohwiyenye oteule no kwizwo hwajili yetu nkashele mubhombe ego sagamubhabomele.
Therefore, friends, do your best to put God’s call and selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
11 Esho mbhahwipele evinji hundwango ogwahwijilelile mwa mwene owilawila hwa gosi wetu nofyozi oYesu Kilisti. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Eshi ane embabhehani abhakombosye engwa ezyo wila hata nkashele mgamenye, neshi mlishinza ashilile hulyoli.
I will, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the truth that you now hold.
13 Esebhaje endishinza abha damzye na bhakombosya juu yenogwa ene, sudi sehwi nantele mwihenje eli.
But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this ‘tent,’ to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
14 Nantele emenye aje esikundodo ebusongole ihenje lyane nashi ogosi oYesu Kilisti sandanjile.
for I know that the time for this ‘tent’ of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
15 Embajenzye nanali hwajili mkomboshe enongwa ezyo nkashile ane nasogola.
So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
16 Nkashi atesagatafwatile embagulwe zyazya hinjie nu sitadi pala patabhabholele juu ya nguvu na hwibhonesya hwa Gosi wetu oYesu Kilisti nantele atali bhashahidi owa hwitutamle hwakwe.
For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Omwene ahambilile otutumsane heshima afume hwa Ngolobhe baba pala izu hovwelwe afume hwa tutamu gosi uyanyile. Ono mwana wane yegene nantele ganewane yesangwelwe tee.”
For he received honor and glory from God the Father, when from the glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these – ‘This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy.’
18 Tahovwe zyeizu eli palifuma humwanya pala patahali nawo hula hwigamba elinza.
These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from heaven, when we were with him on that sacred mountain.
19 Abalyo hwelyo mubhomba shinza alenganye, nashi okhozyo palukhozya enkisi paka pahusha huntondwe zyazibhonehana mazasha zwazibhaneha humoyo genyu.
And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Mmanye ega aje naumo okuwa wasimbwa hunsebho senbho hukuwa yoyo.
But first be assured of this: There is no prophetic teaching found in scripture that can be interpreted by a person’s unaided reason;
21 Nantenamo okwa yahezeleda lya bhatu pewilwe Ompepo Fijiliya yajile fume hwa Ngolobhe.
for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of people, but people, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
