2 Peter 1
1 Simoni Piela, kisadi ayi mvuala wu Yesu Klisto mfidisidi nkanda kuidi bobo batambula minu ki thalu yimosi banga beto mu nzila yi busonga bu Nzambi eto ayi Mvulusi eto Yesu Klisto.
SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Bika baluwokisila nlemvo ayi ndembama mu nzila yi nzayilu yi Nzambi ayi Yesu, Pfumu eto.
grace unto you and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God, even Jesus our Lord,
3 Lulendo luandi, lutuvana bima bioso biobi tuvua mfunu mu luzingu ayi mu kukiyekula mu nzila yi zaba mutu wowo wututela mu nkembo andi ayi muvanganga mambote.
as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude:
4 Mu nzila yoyi katuvanina zitsila zinneni ayi zilutidi thalu muingi mu ziawu beno mamveno lufubakana mu kithuadi mu lunitu lu kinzambi beno bu lutina mbivusu yi nzinunu yidi va ntoto.
whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.―
5 Mu diambu diodi bika lutula zingolo zieno mu buela vanganga mambote va mbata minu kieno; nzayilu va mbata vanganga mambote;
And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence;
6 kukiyala va mbata nzayilu; thatumunu va mbata kukiyala; kukiyekula kuidi Nzambi va mbata thatumunu;
and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety;
7 luzolo lu kikhomba va mbata kukiyekula kudi Nzambi; bosi luzolo va mbata luzolo lu kikhomba.
and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love.
8 Bila enati mambu mama madi yeno ayi enati mawu malembo yilama mu beno buna malendi kulukitula miolo ko ayi bisita ko mu nzayilu eno yi Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Bila mutu kambulu mambu mama widi banga phofo ayi kamonanga mbote ko. Wuzimbakana ti wuvedoso mu masumu mandi ma thama.
But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days.
10 Diawu, bakhomba ziama, bika lumonisa bufula mu kindisa lutelo lueno ayi tsobobolo eno. Bila enati lumvanga mambu mama buna lulendi bua ko,
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble:
11 ayi buna bela kuluyakula bumbote mu kipfumu ki mvu ka mvu ki Pfumu eto ayi Mvulusi eto Yesu Klisto. (aiōnios g166)
but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Diawu ndiela kulutebulanga mu zithangu zioso moyo mu mambu mama; ka diambu ko luzebi mawu ayi luidi bakinda mu kiedika ki thangu yayi.
Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Vayi minu mbueni ti didi diambu disonga mu kulutebula moyo bu ndikidi zingi mu nitu yayi
Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you:
14 bila nzebi ti fioti kuandi fisiedi buna ndieka bika nitu beni banga bumbonisina Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.
15 Vayi ndiela tula zingolo mu diambu lutebukilanga mambu mama moyo ka diambu ko minu ndiedi.
I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things.
16 Bila tusia landakana zinongo zituama yindulu bumbote ko mu thangu tuluzabikisa lulendo ayi ndizulu yi Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto vayi beto tuba bambangi bamona nzitusu andi.
For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Bila wutambula nzitusu ayi nkembo kuidi Nzambi Tata mu thangu mbembo yitotukila mu nkembo wunneni wu Nzambi yituba ti: “Niani niandi muanꞌama wu luzolo; khini yiwombo kakumbonisanga.”
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 Ayi beto mamveto tuwa mbembo beni yitotukila ku diyilu mu thangu tuba yandi va kimosi va mbata mongo wunlongo.
And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Ayi tubeki mambu ma mimbikudi makitulu makinda; mu mawu lufueti lubukila bila madi banga muinda wunlema mu tombi nate buisi butona kienzuka ayi mbuetete yi nsuka yintotuka mu mintima mieno.
And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts.
20 Mu mamo momo bika lutuama zaba ti kadi mutu wumosi kalendi sudikisa ko kadi mbikudulu yimosi yi masonoko mu diela diandi veka.
Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man’s own suggestions.
21 Bila mbikudulu yiyizilanga mu luzolo lu mutu ko vayi batu banlongo ba Nzambi bayoluka bu badiatusu kuidi pheve Yinlongo.
For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.
