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 were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you; who will privately introduce destructive sects, denying even the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Bangi nibakakonkele nshila shakutalikanisha. Cebo ca bintu mbyebalenshinga, nabambi nibakatatike kunyansha Nshila ya ncinencine.
And many will follow their lewd practices, on account of whom, they way of truth will be evil spoken of.
3 Kupitila mubulyabi bwabo, aba beshikwiyisha bandemishibili nibakacaninepo pindi mutulabi ntweshi bakamwambilenga. Nomba cisubulo cabo calabambwa kaindi, kayi konongeka kwabo kulabapembelenga.
And through covetousness, they will make merchandise of you, by fictitious tales: to whom the punishment threatened of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.
4 Pakwinga Lesa liya kubalekelelapo basa bangelo balepisha, nsombi walabawala mubufuni bwamulilo, umo mobasungwa ncetani mumushinshe, mobalapembelelenga busuba bwalombolosho. (Tartaroō g5020)
For God, indeed, did not spare the angels who sinned, but with chains of darkness confining them in Tartarus, delivered them over to be kept for 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 saved Noah, the eighth, a proclaimer of righteousness, when he brought the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 Kayi Lesa walapa cisubulo minshi ibili ya Sodomu ne Gomola njalatenta ne mulilo, kwambeti ibe citondesho kubantu beti bakabule kusakamana Lesa.
and having reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, punished them with an overthrow, making them an example to those who should afterward live ungodly:
7 Nsombi walapulushamo Loti muntu walulama uyo walikupenga ne mikalilo yaipa yabufule njebalikwinsa yakutasakamana Lesa.
and rescued righteous Lot, exceedingly grieved by the lewd behavior of the lawless:
8 Muntu walulama usa nambi walikwikala pakati pabo, walikunyumfwa nekubona micito yabo yaipa, kayi busuba ne busuba moyo wakendi walulama walikumupensha.
(for; --that righteous man, dwelling among them, by the sight and report of their unlawful deeds, tormented his righteous soul from day to day; )
9 Neco bantu bakendi Lesa basunkwanga neye ukute kwishiba mwakubapulushila. Nabo baipa wababambila busuba bwakubapa cisubulo pamusuba lwalombolosho.
the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous to a day of judgment to be punished;
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.
but especially those who go after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and who despise government: being audacious, self-willed, who fear not to revile dignitaries;
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, angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not bring a reviling accusation 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.
But these, as natural, irrational animals, made for capture and destruction, speaking evil of matters which they do not understand, shall be utterly destroyed by their own corruptions;
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.
receiving the due reward of unrighteousness. These delight to spend the day in luxurious festivity: they are spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits when they feast with you;
14 Bakute kulangilishowa pabatukashi bapombo nekubanyengelela bakute myoyo yabula kushimpa cena. Myoyo yabo ilyowa nta pabuboni. Bantu bashinganwa!
having eyes full of the adulteress, incessantly sinning, alluring unstable souls; having a heart exercised with insatiable desires; an accursed progeny:
15 Balashiya nshila yalulama, bataika mbuli ncalataika Balamu mwanendi Beoli walikuyanda kupewa cilambo pakwinsa cabula kwelela.
having forsaken the right path, they have wandered, following in the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity,
16 Mbongolo itamba, yalambeti muntu kukanisha buluya bwakendi.
and was convicted of his transgression; the dumb brute, speaking with man's voice, reprimanded 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, clouds driven by a tempest; for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever:
18 Nabo nebeshikulituntowa ne maswi abuluya, kayi nelunkumbwa lwabo lwasesemya bakute kwikata nkola bantu balashiyi byaipa pakati pabo.
for, speaking great swelling words of falsehood, they allure by the lusts of the flesh, even by lasciviousness, those who have actually fled away from them who are living in error.
19 Bakute kubalaya sha kusunguluka kakuli nabo bacili basha ku micito yabola, muntu ukute kuba musha kuli uyo lamukomo.
They promise them liberty, whilst they themselves are slaves of corruption: for every one is enslaved by that which overcomes him.
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.
Now, if, having fled away from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and being again entangled, they are overcome by them; their last condition is worse than the first.
21 Caina shinga nebalabula kwishiba nshila yabbululami, kupita kwileka kabali balenshibi mulawo waswepa Lesa ngwalabapa.
Therefore, it has been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, turn away from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Pakwinseco, balashininkishingeti niwakubinga mwambi ulambangeti, “Kabwa labwelele malushi ngwalaluka” Kayi naumbi wakwambeti, “Nkumba ilasamba cena, ilabwelele kuya kwalangana mumankatya.”
But the saying of the true proverb has happened to them: "The dog is returned to his own vomit; and the washed hog, to its wallowing in the mire."
