2 Petro 3
1 Mbe oli, enikwandikila awe, omwendwa inyarubha inu eya kabhili koleleki nikusisimule obhwenge,
I indeed, beloved, write unto you this second epistle; in which I stir up your pure mind by remembrance:
2 koleleki utule okwijuka emisango ejo jaikilwe na bhalagi abhelu no kumenya echilagilo cho Mukama weswe no mwilusi kwo kulabha ku ntumwa.
to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles:
3 Umenye gunu kwamba, ati abhalomi abha iniku abhaja mu nsiku jo bhutelo okubhalomela emwe iniku, mbalibhata okulubhana no kwenda kwebhwe.
knowing this first, that at the last days mockers will come forth in scoffing, walking according to their own lusts,
4 Mbe nibhaika “Gulyaki omulago gwo kusubha? Bhalata bheswe bhafuye, Mbe nawe ebhinu bhyona bhyaliga bhili kutiyo okusokelela kubhwambilo bhwo kuanga.
and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the day when the fathers fell asleep, all things remain as from the beginning of creation.
5 Mbekola okulabhilwa ati insi no lwile bhyambile okusoka mu manji no kulabha mu manji munsiku ja kala, kwo musango gwa Nyamuanga,
For they willingly forget this, that the heavens were in the olden time, and the earth standing out of the water and through the water, by the word of God;
6 na ati kwo kulabha ku musango gwaye na manji nigabha insi ku mwanya ogwo, ijuye amanji yanyamuwe.
by which the world at that time, being flooded with water, perished:
7 Mbe nawe oli olwile ne chalo jibhikilwe kwo musango ogwo gwo kulwo mulilo. Bhibhikilwe ku indamu na masingalisho ga abhanu bhanu bhatali bha Nyamuanga.
but now the heavens and the earth have been kept according to the same word, being reserved for fire in the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
8 Inu itakutula kwiindya obhubhambasi bhwao, bhendwa, ati olusiku lumwi ku Latabhugenyi ni kuti emyaka chiumbi. Ne myaka chiumbi ni kuti lusiku lumwi.
But let not this one thing be forgotten, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Itali ati Omukama kakola okukumisha omulago, lwa kutyo ejiganilisibhwa okubha, Mbe nawe omwenikili ni mwikomesha ingulu yemwe, omwene atakwenda nolwo umwi asingalike, Mbe nawe endele okusosha omwanya koleleki bhona bhante.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some people count slackness; but is long-suffering for your sakes, not wishing that any should perish, but all come to repentance.
10 Nawe olusiku lwo Mukama olwija lwo mwifi, olwile olulabhao nilusekana. Ebhinu ebhisingalisibhwa no mulilo. Insi ne bhinu bhyona bhinu bhilimo ebhisululwa abhwelu.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements being scorched up will be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it will be burnt up.
11 Kulwo kubha ebhinu bhyona ebhisingalisibhwa mu njila inu. Mbe oubha munu wa kutiki? Wiyanje kisi mukalibhatiye ka Nyamuanga.
Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness,
12 Owendibhwa okumenya no kwikenga bhwangu mu lusiku lwo kwija Nyamuanga. Olusiku olwo olwile olusingalisibhwa no mulilo. Ne bhinu ebhinyalaganyibhwa na libhasi lya lisubha.
looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements being scorched up are melted?
13 Mbe nawe okulubhana no mulago gwaye, chilindiliye olwile luyaya na insi inyaya, ao abhalengelesi bhalinyanja.
But, according to his promises, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, wherein righteousness dwells.
14 Mbe bhendwa kulwo kubha echilindilila ebhinu bhinu, wikomeshe okwangalila ubhe no mulembe amwi nage.
Therefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and blameless unto him in peace:
15 Yangalila okwikomesha kwa Latabhugenyi weswe mu mwelulo, lwo mwendwa weswe Paulo, kutyo abhandikiye emwe, okulubhana no bhwengeso bhunu ayanilwe.
and consider the longsuffering of the Lord's salvation; as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom which was given unto him has written unto you;
16 Paulo kalomelela ago gona munyalubha jaye, bhilio ebhinu bhinu bhikomeye okubhimenya. Abhanu bhanu bhatana esima no kwimelegulu bhabhinyamuye ebhinu ebhyo, lwa kutyo abhakola mu maandiko okugenda mumasingalisho gebhwe.
as also in all his epistles, speaking in the same concerning these things; in which there are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unestablished wrest, as they also do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Kutyo, bhendwa kwo kubha omugamenya ago, mwiyangalile abhene koleleki mwasiga okubhushwa no bhujigi bhwa bhabheyi no kubhusha obhulengelesi.
Then you, beloved, foreknowing watch, lest, having been led away by the delusion of the ungodly, you may fall from your own stedfastness:
The World is Destroyed by Water
