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
lino nikukulembela uve ghwe mughanike ikalata iji ja vuvili neke kukusimula ku luhala,
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,
neke kuuti uwesie kukumbuka amasio ghanoghakajovilue ye vakyale avavili avimike ni ndaghilo ja Mutwa ghwitu nu mpoki kwa kutumila avasung'hwa.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
ukagule ili taasi, kuuti avakaning'hani vilikwisa mu fighono fya vusililo kukuvakana umue, na kulutila palikimo ni noghelua saavo.
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.”
na kuposia kuuti lulikughi ulufingo lwa kugomoka? avaatwa viitu valyafwile, na fi finu fyoni filyale nahele kuhuma muvwandilo vwa vuvumbi.
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,
vakahwene vasyemilue kuuti iisi na kukyanya fikatengwile kuhumila mu malenga, ku lisio lya Nguluve.
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
na kuuti ilisio lyake na malenga jikava iisi ku n'siki ughuo, ndeve jikamemile amalenga jikanangika.
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.
neke lino kukyanya na pa iisi sivikilue ku lisio lililio vwimila umwoto. fivikilue vwimila ikighono kya kuhighua na kubudua vano nava Nguluve.
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.
vaghanike iji najilikwepesia imhola jaako, kuuti ikighono kimo kwa Mutwa ghahwene maka... na maka... kihwene kighono kimo.
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.
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.
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.
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.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
ulwakuva ifinu fyoni filibudua ku sila iji, pe ghuliva muunhu muki kukukala mwimike mu vwumi vwa Nguluve.
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?
lutuvaghiile kukagula ng'haaning'haani lwake, uvwisilo vwa kighono kwa Nguluve. ikighono ikio kilinyanyua nu mwoto. ni finu filiyeyuka nu lufuke ulukali.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
neke kuhumilanila nu lufingo lwake, tughula in'kyanya imia ni iisi imia pano avanyakyang'hani vilikukala.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
lino vaghanike ulwakuva tuhuvila ifinu ifi, mwitange kuva maaso kange kisila lupikano na kuuva nu lughano palikino nu mwene.
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,
na kugadilila ulugudo lwa Mutwa ghwitu mu vuvangi, ndavule lumbu liitu u Paulo vule akavalembile umue, kuhumilanila mu vukoola vuno akapelilue.
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.
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....
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.
lino vaghanike ulwakuva mukagwile aghuo, mujimililaghe jumue neke kuuti namungasyanguaghe nu vusyangi va vadesi na kusofia uvunywilifu.
