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
Hanu, Ni ñolela inwe, vasakiwa, ili iñolo lyo vuveli lye nkupuzo mu ku ndunga vuniti bwa muhupulo wenu,
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,
nji kuti muzeze manzwi ava wambwiwa ku masule ni vapolofita va jolola ni intaelo ya Simwine wetu ni Muhazi ya vahewa cha va apositola.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
Mwizive ichi intanzi, kuti vasheununi kaveze mu mazuva a mamaninikizo. Ka vasheunune ni kuzwila havusu ku ya chentakazo zavo vene.
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.”
Kavati, “Inahi insepiso ya kuvola kwa kwe? Kuzwa vazazi vetu ha valala, zintu zonse zivekali muswana, ku zwa ku matangilo a ku vumbwa.”
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,
Ka vazivale kavomu kuti mawulu ni hansi zi vezi kuva cha kuzwa mu menzi mi ni cha menzi, kuzwililila uko, che ntaelo ya Ireza,
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
mi ka chezi zintu, inkanda ye yina inako iva sinyiwa, cha ku miniswa ni menzi.
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.
Kono hanu mawulu ni hansi zi vikilwe kwiza ku hiswa ni mulilo che ntaelo iswana. Zi vikilwe izuva lye nkatulo mi ni insinyeho kwa vantu va sena Ireza.
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.
Kanzi mukangwa ku lemuha, vasakiwa, kuti izuva lyonke kwa Simwine likolovu lule lwa mwazuva, mi mazuva ena lule a kolovu izuva lyonke.
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.
Simwine ka yendi cha kulyehi ku ya che sepiso zakwe, sina vamwi ha vaindinda cha kulyeha mukuva. Kono, inkulonde kwenu. Kalakazi ni heva zumwi kwenu ku sinyeha, kono kuyense ave ni chivaka cha kuvaka.
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.
Nihakuvavulyo, izuva lya Simwine kalize uvu musa: mawulu ka zihite ni muhuwo we lata. Mi zintu kazi zihiswe ni mulilo, mi hansi ni mitendo zina mwateni ka zipatululwe.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Sina zonse izi zintu kazi sinyehe mweyi inzila, kamuve muvantu venavule? Mulukela kuhala vuhalo vu jolola ni mihalilo ya vu ireza.
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?
Mu swanela ku lindila ni kuhwelisa kwiza kwe izuva lya Ireza. Helyo zuva, mawulu kasinyiwe cha mulilo, mi zivumbatu kazi wanjumuke mwi ijeje ikando.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Kono chakuya che insepiso yakwe, tulindile mawulu mahya ni hansi hahya, mwete kuve ni kuluka.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Kuzwaho, vasakiwa, sina hamulindile izi zintu, muchite mu muwolela muwanike ni musena kavala ku sanyazahala havusu vwake, mwinkozo.
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,
Hape, muzeze inkulonde ya Simwine wetu cha kuhazwa, sina mwena mwetu Paulusi yosakahana ha va miñoleli, chakuya cha vutali vuvahewa kwali.
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.
Paulusi uwamba chezi zintu muwonse mañolo akwe, muali mwina zintu zi kukutu ku kuzizuwisisa. Vakwame va sezi mi ni va sawondeki mwezi zintu, sina havapanga vulyo zimwi intimana, kwi insinyeho yavo.
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.
Kuzwaho, vasakiwa, sina hamwizi izi zintu, mulivukeleze njikuti kanzi muzwiswa cha vuchengi bwa vantu vafokola mi muzovelwe ku sepahala kwenu.
The Great Flood
