2 Petulo 3
1 lino nikukulembela uve ghwe mughanike ikalata iji ja vuvili neke kukusimula ku luhala,
Beloved, this is now the second letter that I am writing to you. In both of them I have tried to stir up your sincere mind by way of reminder,
2 neke kuuti uwesie kukumbuka amasio ghanoghakajovilue ye vakyale avavili avimike ni ndaghilo ja Mutwa ghwitu nu mpoki kwa kutumila avasung'hwa.
so that you remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commandment of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
3 ukagule ili taasi, kuuti avakaning'hani vilikwisa mu fighono fya vusililo kukuvakana umue, na kulutila palikimo ni noghelua saavo.
First of all, you must understand that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts.
4 na kuposia kuuti lulikughi ulufingo lwa kugomoka? avaatwa viitu valyafwile, na fi finu fyoni filyale nahele kuhuma muvwandilo vwa vuvumbi.
They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has since the beginning of creation.”
5 vakahwene vasyemilue kuuti iisi na kukyanya fikatengwile kuhumila mu malenga, ku lisio lya Nguluve.
They deliberately overlook the fact that by the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth emerged through the water and was separated from the water.
6 na kuuti ilisio lyake na malenga jikava iisi ku n'siki ughuo, ndeve jikamemile amalenga jikanangika.
And by the water and the word, the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7 neke lino kukyanya na pa iisi sivikilue ku lisio lililio vwimila umwoto. fivikilue vwimila ikighono kya kuhighua na kubudua vano nava Nguluve.
Furthermore, by his word the heavens and the earth that now exist have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly.
8 vaghanike iji najilikwepesia imhola jaako, kuuti ikighono kimo kwa Mutwa ghahwene maka... na maka... kihwene kighono kimo.
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
9 nakwekuti uMutwa ivomba lukeluke kumalikisia ulufingo, ndavule fino tusagha kuuti fye luliiva, neke umwene nya lugudo vwimila jiinu umwene nainoghelua nambe jumonga afue, neke inoghelua kukwongelesia un'siku kuuti mweni mukave kulaata.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
10 nambe ikighono kya Nguluve kilikwisa hwene mulyasi, in'kyanya... jilikila kwa kutosia ikelele... ifinu vilinyanyua nu mwoto. iisi ni finu fyoni fino mwefile filiiva pavuvalafu.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11 ulwakuva ifinu fyoni filibudua ku sila iji, pe ghuliva muunhu muki kukukala mwimike mu vwumi vwa Nguluve.
Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed, what sort of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness,
12 lutuvaghiile kukagula ng'haaning'haani lwake, uvwisilo vwa kighono kwa Nguluve. ikighono ikio kilinyanyua nu mwoto. ni finu filiyeyuka nu lufuke ulukali.
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God. On that day the heavens will be set on fire and destroyed, and the elements will melt in the intense heat.
13 neke kuhumilanila nu lufingo lwake, tughula in'kyanya imia ni iisi imia pano avanyakyang'hani vilikukala.
But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14 lino vaghanike ulwakuva tuhuvila ifinu ifi, mwitange kuva maaso kange kisila lupikano na kuuva nu lughano palikino nu mwene.
Therefore, beloved, as you wait for these things, be diligent to be found at peace, spotless and blameless in his sight.
15 na kugadilila ulugudo lwa Mutwa ghwitu mu vuvangi, ndavule lumbu liitu u Paulo vule akavalembile umue, kuhumilanila mu vukoola vuno akapelilue.
And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.
16 UPaulo ijova isio sooni mu kalata sake, kuli ni fiinu fino fyumu kukwelevua. avaanhu avasila sooni nu vukangafu vafinanginie ifinu ifio, ndavule vivomba mu malembe kulutila uvufue vwave....
He speaks about these things in all his letters. Some of the things he says are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people twist to their own destruction, just as they do with the other Scriptures.
17 lino vaghanike ulwakuva mukagwile aghuo, mujimililaghe jumue neke kuuti namungasyanguaghe nu vusyangi va vadesi na kusofia uvunywilifu.
Therefore, beloved, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you will not be led astray by the error of these lawless men and fall from your own secure position.
The World is Destroyed by Water
