2 Peter 3

1 This now, beloved, [is the] second to you I am writing letter, in which I am stirring up of you in putting [you] in remembrance pure mind

Ikozvino iyi, vadikanwi, itsamba yechipiri yandinokunyorerai; panaidzodzi mbiri ndinomutsa murangariro wenyu wakachena nechiyeuchidzo,

2 remembering the spoken beforehand declarations — by the holy prophets and of the apostles (of you *N+KO) commandment of the Lord and Savior;

kuti murangarire mashoko akambotaurwa nevaporofita vatsvene, nemurairo wedu tiri vaapasitori vaIshe neMuponesi;

3 this first knowing that they will come in ([these] last *N+kO) of the days (with scoffing *NO) scoffers according to [their] own evil desires of them following

muchiziva ichi pakutanga, kuti kuchauya pakuguma kwemazuva vanongoseka, vachifamba maererano neruchiva rwavo pachavo,

4 and saying; Where is the promise of the coming of Him? From [the time] that for the fathers fell asleep, all things as they were continue from [the] beginning of creation.

uye vachiti: Chiripi chivimbiso chekuuya kwake? Nokuti kubva zvarara madzibaba zvinhu zvese zvakaramba zvakadaro kubva pakutanga kwekusikwa.

5 It is concealed from indeed them this willingly that heavens were existing long ago and [the] earth out of water and through water having been composed by the of God word,

Nokuti ichi vanokanganwa maune, kuti matenga aivapo kubva kare, nenyika, iripo kubva mumvura, kubudikidza nemvura, neshoko raMwari;

6 through ([means of] those [waters] *NK+O) the at that time world with water having been deluged perished.

nazvo nyika yaivapo nguva iyo yakafukidzwa nemvura yakaparadzwa.

7 But now [the] heavens and the earth by the (same *NK+O) word stored up they are for fire being kept unto [the] day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Asi matenga nenyika zviripo ikozvino zvakachengetwa neirori shoko, zvakachengeterwa moto pazuva rekutongwa nerekuparadzwa kwevanhu vasingadi Mwari.

8 [This] one however thing not should be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] like a thousand years and a thousand years like day one.

Asi chinhu chimwe ichi ngachirege kusazikanwa nemwi, vadikanwi, kuti zuva rimwe kuna Ishe rakaita samakore ane churu, nemakore ane churu sezuva rimwe.

9 Not does delay (the *k) Lord the promise, as some slowness esteem; but is patient toward (you *N+KO) not willing [for] any to perish but all to repentance to come.

Ishe haanonoki maererano nechivimbiso, sevamwe vanoti kunonoka; asi ane moyo murefu kwatiri, asingadi kuti ani nani aparare asi vese vasvike pakutendeuka.

10 Will come however (the *k) day of [the] Lord like a thief (in [the] night *K) in which the heavens with a roar will pass away, elements then burning with heat (it will be dissolved, *N+kO) and [the] earth and the in it works (not *O) (will be exposed. *N+KO)

Asi zuva raIshe richasvika sembavha usiku, naro matenga achapfuura nekutinhira kukuru, nezvekutanga zvichaguranyiwa nekupisa kukuru, nenyika nemabasa ari mairi achapiswa.

11 When these things (in this way *N+KO) all being dissolved what kind ought to be you In holy conduct and in godliness

Sezvo zvinhu izvi zvese zvichaparadzwa, imwi munofanira kuva vakadini pamafambiro matsvene nekunamata Mwari,

12 expecting and hastening the coming of the of God day, through which [the] heavens being set on fire will be dissolved and [the] elements burning with heat are melting?

makatarisira nekumhanyira kusvika kwezuva raMwari; naro matenga achipiswa achaparadzwa, nezvekutanga zvinyunguduke nekupisa kukuru.

13 New however heavens and earth a new according to the promise of Him we are awaiting, in which righteousness dwells.

Asi sechivimbiso chake tinotarisira matenga matsva nenyika itsva, mazviri munogara kururama.

14 Therefore, beloved, these things expecting do be diligent without spot and without blemish by Him to be found in peace,

Naizvozvo vadikanwi, zvamunotarisira zvinhu izvi, shingairai kuti muwanikwe naye murugare, musina gwapa uye musingamhuriki.

15 And the of the Lord of us patience [as] salvation do esteem, even as also the beloved of us brother Paul according to the having been given to him wisdom wrote to you,

Zvino muti moyo murefu waIshe wedu ruponeso, hama yedu inodikanwa Pauro sezvaakakunyoreraiwo zvichienderana nenjere dzakapiwa kwaari;

16 as also in all (the *ko) letters speaking in them concerning these things; among (which [letters] *N+kO) are difficult to be understood some things, which the ignorant and unestablished (distort *NK+o) as also the other Scriptures to the own of them destruction.

semutsamba dzake dzesewo, achitaura madziri maererano nezvinhu izvi; madziri mune zvimwe zvikukutu kunzwisisika, izvo avo vasina kudzidza nevasina kusimba vanozviminamisa, semamwewo magwaro, kusvika pakuparadzwa kwavo pachavo.

17 you yourselves therefore, beloved, knowing [this] beforehand do beware that not by the of the lawless error having been led away you may fall from the [your] own steadfastness,

Naizvozvo imwi, vadikanwi, zvamagara muchiziva, chenjerai kuti murege kutsauswa pamwe nekunyengera kwevasina murairo, muwe pakusimba kwenyu.

18 do grow however in grace and in knowledge of the Lord of us and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him [be] the glory both now and to [the] day of eternity, Amen. (aiōn g165)

Asi kurai munyasha neparuzivo rwaIshe wedu neMuponesi Jesu Kristu. Rukudzo ngaruende kwaari ikozvinowo uye kusvika zuva rekusingaperi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
