2 Petro 1
1 Simoni Petro, muranda nomupostori waJesu Kristu, kuna vaya vakagamuchira kutenda kunokosha sokwedu, kubudikidza nokururama kwaMwari wedu noMuponesi wedu Jesu Kristu:
Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi, zviwande kubudikidza nokuziva kwaMwari nokwaJesu Ishe wedu.
May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Simba rake dzvene rakatipa zvinhu zvose zvatinoda zvoupenyu uye noumwari kubudikidza nokumuziva kwedu iye akatidana nokubwinya nokunaka kwake chaiko.
seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.
4 Kubudikidza naizvozvo, akatipa zvipikirwa zvake zvikuru kwazvo zvinokosha kuti nazvo, mugone kugoverwa umwari uye mugotiza kuora kwomunyika kunouyiswa nokuchiva.
It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.
5 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, shingairai kuti muwedzere kunaka pakutenda kwenyu; uye pakunaka, muwedzere kuziva;
But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;
6 napakuziva muwedzere kuzvidzora; napakuzvidzora, muwedzere kutsungirira; napakutsungirira, muwedzere umwari;
along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
7 napaumwari muwedzere kuda vatendi; napakuda vatendi, muwedzere rudo.
along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
8 Nokuti kana mune zvinhu izvi, zvichiramba zvichiwanda, zvichakuitai kuti musava nousimbe uye musashayiwa zvibereko mukuziva kwenyu Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu.
If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Asi kana munhu asina zvinhu izvi, anoona zviri pedyo uye ibofu, uye akanganwa kuti iye akanatswa pazvivi zvake zvakare.
For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.
10 Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, shingairai kwazvo kuti muite kuti kudanwa kwenyu nokusanangurwa kwenyu kusimbe. Nokuti kana muchiita zvinhu izvi, hamungatongogumburwi,
For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.
11 nokuti muchagamuchirwa nomufaro mukuru muumambo husingaperi hwaIshe noMuponesi wedu Jesu Kristu. (aiōnios g166)
And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. (aiōnios g166)
12 Saka ndicharamba ndichikuyeuchidzai zvinhu izvi, kunyange zvazvo muchizviziva uye makanyatsosimba muchokwadi chamunacho zvino.
For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
13 Ndinofunga kuti zvakanaka kuti ndimutse ndangariro dzenyu ndichiri mutende romuviri uno,
But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.
14 nokuti ndinoziva kuti ndichakurumidza kuibvisa, sezvandakaratidzwa pachena naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.
15 Uye ndichashingaira kuti ndione kuti shure kwokuenda kwangu mucharamba muchirangarira zvinhu izvi.
So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.
16 Nokuti hatina kutevera ngano dzakarukwa nouchenjeri patakakuudzai nezvesimba uye nokuuya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, asi takanga tiri zvapupu zvakaona kubwinya kwake.
For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.
17 Nokuti akagamuchira kukudzwa nokubwinya kwakabva kuna Mwari Baba pakauya inzwi kwaari richibva kudenga mukubwinya kukuru richiti, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu, wandinoda; wandinofarira kwazvo.”
He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."
18 Isu pachedu takanzwa inzwi iri rakabva kudenga patakanga tinaye mugomo dzvene.
And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19 Uye tine shoko ravaprofita rakasimba kwazvo, uye muchaita zvakanaka kuti muriteerere, rakaita sechiedza chinovhenekera murima, kusvikira utonga hwatsvuka uye nyamasase ichibuda mumwoyo yenyu.
And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Pamusoro pazvo zvose, munofanira kunzwisisa kuti hakuna chiprofita choRugwaro chakauya nokungodudzira kwomuprofita pachake oga.
But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;
21 Nokuti hakuna chiprofita chakatongouya nokuda kwomunhu, asi vanhu vakataura zvaibva kuna Mwari vachisundwa noMweya Mutsvene.
for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
