2 Peter 3
1 This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you
Kwalino, ndikulembela kuli nduwe, oyandwa, olu lugwalo lwabili ndundakulembela nchiibalusyo chakuno mwibulusya mumizeezo yanu,
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
kuti mukayibuluke majwi akambiidwe chiindi abasinsimi basalali antomwe amulawo wa Mwami a Mufutuli wakapegwa kwinda mubatumwa.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
Kukusanguna echi ngachizibwe, kuti kuyosika basikaniako niako mumazuba amamanino.
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
Bayowamba kuti, “Ino kulikuli kuboola kwakwe nkwakasyomezya? Nkambo kakuti kuzwa chiindi nibakafwa bamataatesu, zyoonse zintu zichikkede kazili mbozyakabede, kuzwa kumatangunino azilengwa.”
5 For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,
Balalilubya lubya achaali kuti chiindi mukwinda mujwi lya Leza ijulu anyika zyakasika mpozibawo kazizwa mumeenda alubo mukwinda mumeenda,
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
alimwi eyo nyika kuchindi echo yakamwayulwa, yakazimazigwa ameenda.
7 But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Kwinda mujwi ndilyo ijulu anyika zyakabambililwa mulilo, zililondwedwe kazilindila elzo zuba lyalubeta alunyonyooko lwabantu batakwe bunaleza.
8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Pele nkuchili nchimutelede kuluba, nobayandwa, ncheechi chakuti ku Mwami buzuba bomwe buli mbuli chuulu chamwaaka, achilaacho chuulu chamyaaka chilimbuli buzuba bomwe.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Mwami tayendi bunini bunini pe kuzisyomezyo zyakwe, mbuli mbobayeeya bamwi kuti wanonoka. Pe pe, ngusibuuya andinywe. Tayandi pe kuti naba omwe wenu akafwidilile, pesi kuti woonse ajane mwenya wakusanduka.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
Nekubaboobo, ibuzuba bwa Mwami bulasika mbuboonya mbuli uubba: Imajulu ayoloba amuzuzumo mupati. Tunyenyezi tuyopya amulilo, ayilayo inyika amichito ilimulinjiiyo ziyoloba. Takulentanganana pe kuti ndelili ijwi lyamulaka wachi Giliki lyelede kubelesegwa kujwi lyakujinsya munchali wekkumi, akkati kakuti, kusyalamaya nakuti kuumpwa, ngakulaba kulisalila. kuli kuzumbuuzya kuti ndilili ijwi lingalila belesegwa. Kulisalila kwabili ngakulaba oku, Itunyeenyezi tuyotentwa amulilo, ayilayo nyika antomwe azichitwa mulinjiyo ziyoloba akutentwa.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Mbokunga zyoonsenezi ziyoloba enzila eyi, ino mulelede kuba bantu balibiyeni? Mulelede kupona mubusalali amubuumi bwabunaleza.
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
Mulelede kulangila akuyandisya kusika kwazuba lya Leza. Mubuzuba oobo, imajulu ayomwayulwa amulilo, atwalo tunyenyezi tuyoyeemuka amusikitila wakupya.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Pesi mbuli mbwakasyomezya, tulokulindila ijulu ipya anyika impya, oko baluleeme nkubayokkala.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Nkambo kaako, nomuyandwa, mbokunga mulangila ezi zintu, amusungwale kuti mukajanike kamutakwe kabata nikaba kampenda kunembo lyakwe, kamuli mulumuno.
15 Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,
Alubo, amuyeeye kuti kukkazika moyo kwa Mwami nkokweta lufutuko, mbubonya mbuli uyandwa mukwesu Pawulu mbwakamulembela, mukwinda mubusongo mbwakapedwe.
16 as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Pawulu ulamba zintu zyonsezi mumagwalo akwe, kwakuti mukati kawo mozili zintu ziyumu kukumvwisisisya. Nkabela batayiide abatakkalinkene balasandula sandula amwi magwalo, chakuli nyonyoona lwabo.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
Pele, nywebo nomuyandwa, mbokunga ezi zintu mulizizi kale, amukaliyaminine lwenu nkokuti tamukasowegwi abasilweeno batakwe mulawo mpawo mukaswekelwe lusyomo lwanu.
The World is Destroyed by Water
