2 Petulo 2
1 Nekubeco, bashinshimi bandemishibili balikubapo pakati pa Baislayeli, kayi cimocimo, beshikwiyisha bandemishibili nibakaboneke pakati penu. Nibakalete biyisho byabwepeshi mubushinshi bishikononga, nibakamukane Mwami wabo walabalubula, neco nibakalitele lufu mwabwangu bwangu.
But there also came false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you, who will stealthily bring in destructive sects, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing quick destruction to themselves,
2 Bangi nibakakonkele nshila shakutalikanisha. Cebo ca bintu mbyebalenshinga, nabambi nibakatatike kunyansha Nshila ya ncinencine.
and many will follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth will be spoken of [as] evil,
3 Kupitila mubulyabi bwabo, aba beshikwiyisha bandemishibili nibakacaninepo pindi mutulabi ntweshi bakamwambilenga. Nomba cisubulo cabo calabambwa kaindi, kayi konongeka kwabo kulabapembelenga.
and in covetousness, with forged words, they will make merchandise of you, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
4 Pakwinga Lesa liya kubalekelelapo basa bangelo balepisha, nsombi walabawala mubufuni bwamulilo, umo mobasungwa ncetani mumushinshe, mobalapembelelenga busuba bwalombolosho. (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God did not spare messengers having sinned, but having cast [them] down to Tartarus with chains of deepest gloom, delivered [them], having been reserved to judgment, (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Kayi Lesa liya kubalekelela bantu bakaindi, nsombi walapulushako Nowa mukambaushi wa bululami pamo nebanendi basanu nebabili, pacindi ncalaleta mfula pacishi conse, iyo yalashina bantu bonse batasakamana Lesa.
and did not spare the old world, but kept the eighth person, Noah, a preacher of righteousness, having brought a flood on the world of the impious,
6 Kayi Lesa walapa cisubulo minshi ibili ya Sodomu ne Gomola njalatenta ne mulilo, kwambeti ibe citondesho kubantu beti bakabule kusakamana Lesa.
and having turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemned with an overthrow, having set [them as] an example to those about to be impious,
7 Nsombi walapulushamo Loti muntu walulama uyo walikupenga ne mikalilo yaipa yabufule njebalikwinsa yakutasakamana Lesa.
and He rescued righteous Lot, worn down by the conduct of the lawless in licentiousness,
8 Muntu walulama usa nambi walikwikala pakati pabo, walikunyumfwa nekubona micito yabo yaipa, kayi busuba ne busuba moyo wakendi walulama walikumupensha.
for the righteous [man] dwelling among them was tormented in [his] righteous soul, day by day, in seeing and hearing unlawful works—
9 Neco bantu bakendi Lesa basunkwanga neye ukute kwishiba mwakubapulushila. Nabo baipa wababambila busuba bwakubapa cisubulo pamusuba lwalombolosho.
the LORD has known to rescue [the] pious out of temptation, and to keep [the] unrighteous being punished to [the] day of judgment,
10 Makamaka nakape cisubulo bantu balakonkelenga lunkumbwa lwasafwana lwamibili yabo, nekunyansha bwendeleshi bwa Lesa. Beshikwiyisha bandemishibili kayi beshikulitunta, batasakamana muntu, bakute kutukana nekutapa bulemu bilengwa byalemekwa bya Kwilu.
and chiefly those following after the flesh in lust [and] defilement, and despising lordship. Bold, self-pleased, they are not afraid to speak evil of glorious ones,
11 Nomba kamuyeyani bangelo, bakute ngofu shinene shakumubili ne shakumushimu shapita beshikwiyisha bandemishibili. Nsombi nkabakute kusebensesha maswi akunyansha beshikwiyisha bandemishibili aba pamenso pa Lesa.
whereas messengers, being greater in strength and power, do not bear a slanderous judgment against them before the LORD;
12 Nomba aba bantu balyeti banyama babula mano balasemenwa kwikatwa ne bantu nekushiniwa. Cabo nikusampula bintu mbyabateshi. Ee Lesa nakabashine mbuli bantu ncebakute kushina banyama bamucisuwa.
and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed—in what things they are ignorant of, slandering—in their destruction will be destroyed;
13 Pakwinga bakute kukondwa ne nshila shabo bwepeshi, bakute kuyandowa kulya ne kunwa munshila yakutalilemeka lumwi kalubala njo! Balyeti mibata ne bulema bukute kwipisha cinso pacindi ncemukute kulya nabo.
doing unjustly, [they will receive] a reward of unrighteousness, esteeming pleasure in the day, [and] luxury—[they are] spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits, feasting with you,
14 Bakute kulangilishowa pabatukashi bapombo nekubanyengelela bakute myoyo yabula kushimpa cena. Myoyo yabo ilyowa nta pabuboni. Bantu bashinganwa!
having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of a curse,
15 Balashiya nshila yalulama, bataika mbuli ncalataika Balamu mwanendi Beoli walikuyanda kupewa cilambo pakwinsa cabula kwelela.
having forsaken a right way, they went astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the [son] of Bosor, who loved a reward of unrighteousness,
16 Mbongolo itamba, yalambeti muntu kukanisha buluya bwakendi.
and had a rebuke of his own iniquity—a mute donkey, having spoken in man’s voice, forbid the madness of the prophet.
17 Beshikwyisha bandemishibili balyeti mikalo yabula menshi, kayi balyeti makumbi alanyakiwanga nne mpepo, Lesa wababambila musena mumushinshe washipa mbi. (questioned)
These are wells without water, and clouds driven by a storm, to whom the deepest gloom of darkness has been kept throughout the age; (questioned)
18 Nabo nebeshikulituntowa ne maswi abuluya, kayi nelunkumbwa lwabo lwasesemya bakute kwikata nkola bantu balashiyi byaipa pakati pabo.
for speaking swollen words of vanity, they entice in desires of the flesh—licentiousness, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,
19 Bakute kubalaya sha kusunguluka kakuli nabo bacili basha ku micito yabola, muntu ukute kuba musha kuli uyo lamukomo.
promising liberty to them, themselves being servants of corruption, for by whom anyone has been overcome, he has been brought to servitude to this one also;
20 Pakwinga bantu balashiyi byaipa byacishici pakwishiba Mwami Mupulshi wetu Yesu Klistu, nomba panyuma pakendi besa bekatwa nekukomwa ne byaipa bimobimo, pamapwililisho bakute kwipa kupita ncebalikuba pakutanguna.
for if having escaped from the defilements of the world, in the acknowledging of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, and again being entangled by these things, they have been overcome, the last things have become worse to them than the first,
21 Caina shinga nebalabula kwishiba nshila yabbululami, kupita kwileka kabali balenshibi mulawo waswepa Lesa ngwalabapa.
for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of righteousness, than having acknowledged [it], to turn back from the holy command delivered to them,
22 Pakwinseco, balashininkishingeti niwakubinga mwambi ulambangeti, “Kabwa labwelele malushi ngwalaluka” Kayi naumbi wakwambeti, “Nkumba ilasamba cena, ilabwelele kuya kwalangana mumankatya.”
and that of the true proverb has happened to them: “A dog turned back on his own vomit,” and, “A sow having bathed herself—to rolling in mire.”
