2 Petulo 1
1 Njame, Shimoni Petulo, musebenshi kayi mutumwa wa Yesu Klistu, ndalembelenga bantu balatambula lushomo ulo nenjafwe ndotwalatambula. Balalutambula cebo ca bululami bwa Lesa ne Mupulushi wetu Yesu Klistu.
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Lesa amunyumfwile nkumbo nekumupa lumuno lwesula pakumwishiba Lesa ne Yesu Mwami wetu.
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Lesa mwangofu shakendi latupa byonse mbyetulayandanga mubuyumi bwa ciklistu kupitila mulwinshibo lwa uyo walatukuweti tuyabane bulemu ne kwina kwakendi.
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Munshila ilico latupa cipo cinene cilayandikinga ncalatulaya, kwambeti kupitila mubipo bilicisa mukakonshe kuleya lunkumbwa lwaipa luli mucishici, kwambeti mutambuleko buyumi bwa Lesa.
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Lino kamubani nempapa musankanye mikalilo yaina pa lushomo lwenu, nawo mano mwasankanye pa mikalilo yenu yaina,
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 kayi pa mano musankanyepo kulikanisha, pakulikanisha musankanyepo kulimbikila, kayi pa kulimbikila musankanyepo buyumi bwa kukambilila Lesa,
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 pabuyumi bwa kukambilila Lesa, musankanyepo nkumbo, pankumbo musankanyepo lusuno.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 Na mikalilo iyi ifula mulinjamwe, nteti mukalilwe nekuba babula pindu pa mano akwishiba cena Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Nomba abo babula mikalilo ilicisa bashipilwa, nkabela kubona patali sobwe, kayi balalubu kwambeti balasukwa bwipishi bwabo bwakaindi.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Ecebo cakendi mobanse bame, kamubani nekangwabu kwambeti mushininkisheti Lesa ewalamukuwa nekumusala. Mwenseco nkamwela kuwa mulushomo sobwe.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 Neco nakamucalwile cishinga cakwingilila mu Bwami butapu bwa Lesa wetu ne mupulushi wetu Yesu Klistu. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ecebo cakendi ame ndayandanga kandimwanusha cindi conse, nambi mucishi ne kushoma ne moyo wonse cancine ncine ncemwalatambula.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Ndabonongeti caina kwambeti kandicili muyumi ndimuyuminishenga pakumwanushako.
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Pakwinga ndicisheti ndilipepi kufwa, mbuli Yesu Klistu ncalanjishibisha.
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Nomba ninjelekeshe kubambeti nambi nkafumepo mukapitilishe kubyanuka cindi conse.
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Afwe tuliya kukonkela tulabi, mpotwalamwishibisha kwisa kwangofu kwa Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu. Nsombi twalensa kubona ne menso etu bukulene bwakendi.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 Neye walatambula bulemu bunene kuli Lesa Bata, mpwalanyumfwika maswi alafuma kuli Bata Balemekeshewa kupita bonse akwambeti, “Uyu e Mwaname ngonsuni, mulyendiye ndakondwa”
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 Maswi awa alafumina kwilu afwe twalanyumfwa pakwinga twalikuba nendi pa mulundu waswepa usa.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 Neco tucishi lino nditu kwambeti maswi asa abashinshimi nacancinencine. Caina kwambeti lino mulangishishe pa lampi ilamunikinga mumushinshe, mpaka cindi cakumaca ntanda mpweshikatatike kumunika mumyoyo mwenu.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Nomba cakutanguna kamwishibani, paliya muntu wela kucikonsha kusansulula cena maswi abashinshimi alembwa mu Mabala.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Pakwinga maswi abushinshimi aliya kufumina kukuyanda kwa bantu sobwe, nsombi Mushimu Uswepa ewalikubambisha maswi alikufumina kuli Lesa.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
