< 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.
False prophets came to the people, and false teachers will also come to you. They will secretly bring with them destructive heresies, and they will deny the master who bought them. They are bringing quick destruction upon themselves.
2 Bangi nibakakonkele nshila shakutalikanisha. Cebo ca bintu mbyebalenshinga, nabambi nibakatatike kunyansha Nshila ya ncinencine.
Many will follow their sensuality, and through them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
3 Kupitila mubulyabi bwabo, aba beshikwiyisha bandemishibili nibakacaninepo pindi mutulabi ntweshi bakamwambilenga. Nomba cisubulo cabo calabambwa kaindi, kayi konongeka kwabo kulabapembelenga.
In their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. For a long time their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
4 Pakwinga Lesa liya kubalekelelapo basa bangelo balepisha, nsombi walabawala mubufuni bwamulilo, umo mobasungwa ncetani mumushinshe, mobalapembelelenga busuba bwalombolosho. (Tartaroō )
For God did not spare the angels who sinned. Instead he handed them down to Tartarus to be kept in chains of lower darkness until the judgment. (Tartaroō )
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.
Also, he did not spare the ancient world. Instead, he preserved Noah, who was a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when he brought a flood on 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.
God also reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes and condemned them to destruction, as an example of what is to happen to the ungodly.
7 Nsombi walapulushamo Loti muntu walulama uyo walikupenga ne mikalilo yaipa yabufule njebalikwinsa yakutasakamana Lesa.
But as for the righteous Lot, he was oppressed by the sensual behavior of lawless people.
8 Muntu walulama usa nambi walikwikala pakati pabo, walikunyumfwa nekubona micito yabo yaipa, kayi busuba ne busuba moyo wakendi walulama walikumupensha.
So that righteous man, who was living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul because of what he saw and heard.
9 Neco bantu bakendi Lesa basunkwanga neye ukute kwishiba mwakubapulushila. Nabo baipa wababambila busuba bwakubapa cisubulo pamusuba lwalombolosho.
The Lord knows how to rescue godly men out of trials, and how to hold unrighteous men for punishment at 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.
This is especially true for those who continue in the corrupt desires of the flesh and who despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are not afraid to blaspheme the 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.
Angels have greater strength and power, but they do not bring insulting judgments against them to 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 unreasoning animals are naturally made for capture and destruction. They do not know what they insult. They 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.
They will receive the reward of their wrongdoing. They think that luxury during the day is a pleasure. They are stains and blemishes. They enjoy their deceitful actions while they are feasting with you.
14 Bakute kulangilishowa pabatukashi bapombo nekubanyengelela bakute myoyo yabula kushimpa cena. Myoyo yabo ilyowa nta pabuboni. Bantu bashinganwa!
They have eyes full of adultery, they are never satisfied with sin. They entice unstable souls into wrongdoing, and they have their hearts trained in covetousness. They are cursed children!
15 Balashiya nshila yalulama, bataika mbuli ncalataika Balamu mwanendi Beoli walikuyanda kupewa cilambo pakwinsa cabula kwelela.
They have abandoned the right way and have wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to receive payment for unrighteousness.
16 Mbongolo itamba, yalambeti muntu kukanisha buluya bwakendi.
But he obtained a rebuke for his own transgression—a mute donkey speaking in a human voice stopped the prophet's insanity.
17 Beshikwyisha bandemishibili balyeti mikalo yabula menshi, kayi balyeti makumbi alanyakiwanga nne mpepo, Lesa wababambila musena mumushinshe washipa mbi. ()
These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. The gloom of thick darkness is reserved for them.
18 Nabo nebeshikulituntowa ne maswi abuluya, kayi nelunkumbwa lwabo lwasesemya bakute kwikata nkola bantu balashiyi byaipa pakati pabo.
They speak with vain arrogance. They entice people through the lusts of the flesh. They entice people who try to escape from those who live in error.
19 Bakute kubalaya sha kusunguluka kakuli nabo bacili basha ku micito yabola, muntu ukute kuba musha kuli uyo lamukomo.
They promise freedom to them, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For a man is a slave to whatever 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.
If they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 Caina shinga nebalabula kwishiba nshila yabbululami, kupita kwileka kabali balenshibi mulawo waswepa Lesa ngwalabapa.
It would have been better for them not to know the way of righteousness than to know it and 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.”
This proverb is true for them: “A dog returns to its own vomit, and a washed pig returns to the mud.”
