2 Peter 3
1 This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in [both] which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind,
Kwalino, ndikulembela kuli nduwe, oyandwa, olu lugwalo lwabili ndundakulembela nchiibalusyo chakuno mwibulusya mumizeezo yanu,
2 to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;
kuti mukayibuluke majwi akambiidwe chiindi abasinsimi basalali antomwe amulawo wa Mwami a Mufutuli wakapegwa kwinda mubatumwa.
3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to 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 time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus 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 this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in 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 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.
alimwi eyo nyika kuchindi echo yakamwayulwa, yakazimazigwa ameenda.
7 But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a 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 let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] 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 does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any 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 which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt 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 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
Mbokunga zyoonsenezi ziyoloba enzila eyi, ino mulelede kuba bantu balibiyeni? Mulelede kupona mubusalali amubuumi bwabunaleza.
12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?
Mulelede kulangila akuyandisya kusika kwazuba lya Leza. Mubuzuba oobo, imajulu ayomwayulwa amulilo, atwalo tunyenyezi tuyoyeemuka amusikitila wakupya.
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
Pesi mbuli mbwakasyomezya, tulokulindila ijulu ipya anyika impya, oko baluleeme nkubayokkala.
14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;
Nkambo kaako, nomuyandwa, mbokunga mulangila ezi zintu, amusungwale kuti mukajanike kamutakwe kabata nikaba kampenda kunembo lyakwe, kamuli mulumuno.
15 and account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him,
Alubo, amuyeeye kuti kukkazika moyo kwa Mwami nkokweta lufutuko, mbubonya mbuli uyandwa mukwesu Pawulu mbwakamulembela, mukwinda mubusongo mbwakapedwe.
16 as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also 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 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these] things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness:
Pele, nywebo nomuyandwa, mbokunga ezi zintu mulizizi kale, amukaliyaminine lwenu nkokuti tamukasowegwi abasilweeno batakwe mulawo mpawo mukaswekelwe lusyomo lwanu.
18 but grow in grace, and in [the] knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Pesi kamuya bukomena kuluzyalo amuluzibo lwa Mwami a Mufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito. Akube bulemu kulinguwe kwalyoonse sunu mane kukabe ikutamani. Ameni! (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
