2 Petro 1
1 Simon Petro, omukosi na intumwa ya Yesu Kristo, ku bhaliya bhalamiye elikilisha liliya liliya lya kisi kutyo chalamiye eswe, elikilisha linu lili mu bhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga no mwilusi weswe Yesu Kristo.
This letter comes from Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who share with us the same priceless trust in our God and Savior Jesus Christ, the one who is truly good and right.
2 Echigongo chibhe kwemwe; omulembe gwiyongeshe okutula mu bhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga no Mukama weswe Yesu.
May you have ever more grace and peace as you grow in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 Okutula mu bhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga chamabhona amagambo gaye gona kulwo bhwiyami bhwo bhulame, okusoka ku Nyamuanga unu achibhilikiye kwo bhujima bhwa likusho lyaye.
Through his divine power we have been given everything that's important to live a God-centered life. This comes through knowing him who called us to himself by his own glory and goodness. In this way he's given us wonderful, priceless promises.
4 Kwa injila inu achiyanile obhwisige bhwo bhulago bhukulu bhwe kisi. Akolele linu kwo kuchikola chibhe abhali bhwo mwandu bhwo bhusimuka bhwa Nyamuanga, kutyo echigendelela okusiga amabhibhi ge chalo chinu.
Through these promises you can share in the divine nature, being rid of the corruption caused by this world's evil desires.
5 Kwa injuno inu, mukole amanaga okwongesha obhujima kwa injila yo kwikilisha kwemwe, kwo bhujima, obhwengeso.
For this same reason, do everything you can! Add to your trust in God, goodness; add to goodness, knowledge;
6 Okutula ku bhwengeso, echitilu, no kutula ku chitilu, okwigumulisha, no kutula okwigumilisha, obhulengelesi.
add to knowledge, self-control; add to self-control, patience; add to patience, reverence;
7 Okutula ku bhulengelesi elyenda lya bhaili no kutula ku lyenda lya bhaili, obhenji.
add to reverence, affection for fellow-believers, add to affection for fellow-believers, love.
8 Labha emisango jinu jili mwimwe, jikagendelela okukula mwimwe, mbe emwe mutakubha bhagumba amwi abhanu abho bhatakwibhula amatwasho ku bhwengesho bhwo Mukama weswe Yesu Kristo.
The more you have these qualities, the more they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Mbe nawe wona wona oyo atali ne misango jinu, kalola emisango ja yei la; omwene ni muofu, alabhiwe kutyo osibhwe ebhiyeno bhyaye bhya kala.
For anyone who doesn't have such qualities is short-sighted, or blind. They forget that they've been cleansed from their past sins.
10 Ku lwejo, bhaili, mwikomeshe koleleki mumenye obhusolwa no kubhilikilwa kwemwe. Labha mukakola ganu, mutakwikujula.
So, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined to make sure you are truly “called and chosen.” If you do this, you won't ever fall.
11 Kutyo omwibhonela obhwanfu bhwo mulyango gwo kwingilila mu bhukama bhwa kajanende bhwo Mukama weswe no mukisha Yesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
You will receive a tremendous welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Mbe kutyo anye enibha mwangu okubhejukisha emisango jinu bhuli mwanya, nolwo kutyo mujimenyele, woli mwabheye bhakomeye mu chimali.
That's why I always remind you about these things, even though you know them already, and you stand firm in the truth that you possess.
13 Eniganilisha ati nikolele ja bhwana okubhemusha no kubhejukisha ingulu ye misango jinu, nichalimo mwihema linu.
But I still think it's a good idea to encourage you by giving you reminders while I live.
14 Kwo kubha enimenya ati omwanya nti mulela enisoshao lihema lyani, lya kutyo Omukama Yesu Kristo anyelesishe.
I know the time when I shall leave this life will be coming soon— our Lord Jesus Christ has made this clear to me.
15 Enikomesha kwa managa gona ingulu yemwe koleleki mwijuke emisango jinu nolwo nikabha nagendele.
I will do my best so that when I'm gone you will always be able to remember these things.
16 Kwo kubha eswe chitalubhile jingani ejo jiigisibhwe ku bhwekisi ao chabhabhwiliye ingulu ya managa no kwitula abhwelu Omukama weswe Yesu Kristo, tali eswe chabheye bhabhambasi bha likusho lyaye.
We didn't follow made-up myths when we told you about the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ—we saw his majesty for ourselves.
17 Omwene alamiye likusho na lisima okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata ao obhulaka bhunguwe okusoka mwikusho likulu nibhwaika ati, “Unu niwe Omwana wani, omwendwa wani oyo nikondelesibhwe nage.”
He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice of majestic glory spoke to him and announced, “This is my Son, the one I love, and who truly pleases me.”
18 Chonguwe obhulaka bhunu mbusokelela mwigulu ao chaliga chili nage ku chima chiliya echelu.
We ourselves heard this voice speak from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Chilinagwo omusango gunu gwo bhulagi ogwo gumaliliye, ogwo omukola je kisi okugungwa. Ni kuti itala eyo eyaka muchisute okingila okusuluka na jinyota ja machelelesha ejo ejibhonekana mu myoyo jemwe.
We also have the confirming word of prophecy that's absolutely trustworthy, and you will benefit from paying close attention to it. It's like a lamp that shines in a dark place until the day dawns, and the morning star shines to illuminate your minds.
20 Mumenye ganu ati, bhutalio bhulagi obhwo obhwandikwa kwo kwiganilisha kwo mulagi omwene.
Most of all you should realize that no prophecy of scripture is a matter for interpretation based on the whims of an individual,
21 Kwo kubha bhutalio bhulagi obhwo bhwejile kwe lyenda lyo munu, tali abhanu bhasakiwe no Mwoyo Omwelu oyo alomele okusoka ku Nyamuanga.
for no prophecy originated in human ideas, but prophets spoke for God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
