2 Petro 1
1 Simoni Petro, Mmanda na mtume wa Yesu Kristo, kwa balo baipokile imani yeyelo ya thamani kati twaipokile twenga, imani yaibile nkati ya haki ya Nnongo na mwokozi witu Yesu Kristo.
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Neema ibe kwinu, amani iyongeyekeye pitya maarifa ga Nnongo na Ngwana witu Yesu.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Pitya maarifa ga Nnongo tupatike makowe gake yote kwa ajili ya uchaji wa maisha. Boka kwa Nnongo ywatukemile kwa ajili ya uzuru wa utukufu wake.
According as his divine power hath given to us all things that [pertain] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Kwa ndela yee atitutumanisha ahadi ngolo ya thamani. Apangite nyoo ili kutupanga barithi ba asili ya Nnongo, kwa kadiri tuyendelya kuuleka ubou wa dunia yee.
Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Kwa sababu yee, mupange bidii kuongeza uzuri kwa ndela ya imani yinu, kwa sababu ya uzuri, maarifa.
And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 Pitya maarifa, kiasi, pitya kiasi saburi, na pitya saburi utauwa.
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 Pitya utuwa upendo wa alongo na pitya upendo wa alongo, upendo.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 Mana makowe aga gabile nkati yinu, yayendelya kukua nkati yinu, bai mwenga mwapangika kwaa tasa au bandu babeleka kwaa matunda katika maarifa ga Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Lakini yeyote ywabile kwaa na makowe aga, ugabona makowe ga papipi kae; ywembe nga ipofu, atisahau utakaso ba sambi yake ya kale.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old sins.
10 Kwa eyo, alongo bango, mupange juhudi ili kujihakikishia uteule na wito kwa ajili yinu. Kati mugapanga aga, mwalowa kuikwaa.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 Nga nyoo mwaipatia bingi ba nnango wa jingya katika upwalume wangayomoka wa Ngwana witu na nkochopoli Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Kwa eyo nenga nalowa pangika tayari kuwakombokya makowe aga kila mara, hata kama mwayatanga, nambeambe mubile imara katika kweli.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and are established in the present truth.
13 Nawaza kuwa nibile sahihi kubaamsha na kuwakombokya nnani ya makowe aga, ningali nibile nkati ya hema lee.
Indeed, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
14 Kwa mana nitangite kuwa muda kwaa mrefu nalowa liondoa lihema lyango, kati Ngwana Yesu Kristo atubonekeya.
Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.
15 Nalowa jitahidi kwa bidii kwa ajili yinu ili mkombokeye makowe aga baada ya nenga kuboka.
Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 Kwa mana twenga twafata kwaa hadithi zatijingya kwa ustadi palo patulongela nnani ya ngupu na kujidhihirisha kwa Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo, ila twenga tubile mashahidi ba utukufu wake.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 Ywembe ywapokile utukufu na heshima boka kwa Nnongo tate palo lilobe liyowanike boka katika utukufu nkolo yatibaya.”Ayoo nga mwana wango, mpendwa wango ambaye ywatipendezwa niywembe.”
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 Tuyowine lilobe lee iboka kumaunde palo tubile niywembe katika chelo kitombe kitakatifu.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount.
19 Tubile ni lee neno lya unabii lyalithibitike, ambalo kwa lee mwapanga vyema kuliteketeza. Kati taa ya'ing'ara mulibendo mpaka bwamba na ndondwa ga mawio zatibonekana katika mioyo yinu.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
20 Mutangite aga panga, ntopo unabii wauandikilwe kwa sababu ya kuwaza mwabene kwa nabii mwene.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 Kwa mana ntopo unabii wabile kwa mapenzi ga bandu, ila bandu bapangilwe na Roho mtakatifu ywalongela boka kwa Nnongo.
For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke [as they were] moved by the Holy Spirit.
