2 Peter 1

1 USimoni Phetro, inceku lomphostoli kaJesu Khristu, Kulabo abamukele ukholo oluligugu njengolwethu ngokulunga kukaNkulunkulu wethu loMsindisi uJesu Khristu:

2 Umusa lokuthula kakube ngokwenu ngokwandileyo ngokumazi uNkulunkulu loJesu iNkosi yethu.

Ukwenza ukubizwa lokukhethwa komuntu kuqiniseke

3 Amandla akhe obuNkulunkulu asesinike konke esikuswelayo ekuphileni kanye lokumesaba uNkulunkulu ngokumazi kwethu yena owasibiza ngenkazimulo yakhe langokulunga.

4 Ngalokhu usesinike izithembiso zakhe ezinkulu kakhulu eziligugu, ukuze kuthi ngazo lihlanganyele esimeni sobuNkulunkulu njalo liphephe ekonakaleni kwasemhlabeni okubangelwa yizinkanuko ezimbi.

5 Ngenxa yalesisizatho, yenzani imizamo yonke ukuba lengeze ukulunga ekukholweni kwenu; lekulungeni, lengeze ukwazi; 6 lekwazini, lengeze ukuzithiba; lekuzithibeni, lengeze ukubekezela; lekubekezeleni, lengeze ukumesaba uNkulunkulu; 7 lekumesabeni uNkulunkulu, lengeze umusa wobuzalwane; lasemuseni wobuzalweni, lengeze uthando.

8 Ngoba uma lilalezizinto ngokwandileyo, zizalinqanda ekubeni ngabangafezi lutho labangelazithelo ekwazini kwenu iNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu. 9 Kodwa uma umuntu engelazo ubonela eduze njalo uyisiphofu, njalo usekhohliwe ukuthi usehlanjululwe ezonweni zakhe zakudala.

10 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, tshisekelani kakhulu ukwenza ukubizwa lokukhethwa kwenu kuqiniseke. Ngoba uma lisenza lezizinto, kalizukuwa, 11 njalo lizakwamukelwa ngokupheleleyo embusweni olaphakade weNkosi loMsindisi wethu uJesu Khristu.

Isiphrofetho soMbhalo

12 Ngakho ngizahlala ngilikhumbuza lezizinto, lanxa lizazi njalo liqinile ngokupheleleyo eqinisweni eselilalo.

13 Ngibona kufanele ukuba ngilikhumbuze nxa ngisaphila kulelithente lomzimba lo,

14 ngoba ngiyakwazi ukuthi ngizaphanga ngilibeke eceleni, njengoba iNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu isikwenze kwaba sobala kimi. 15 Njalo ngizakwenza imizamo yonke ukubona ukuthi emva kokusuka kwami lizahlala lizikhumbula lezizinto.

16 Sasingalandeli izinganekwane ezaqaliswa ngokuhlakanipha lapho silitshela ngamandla langokuza kwe-Nkosi yethu uJesu Khristu, kodwa sasingofakazi bobukhosi bakhe. 17 Ngoba wamukela udumo lenkazimulo kuNkulunkulu uBaba lapho ilizwi lafika kuye livela eNkazimulweni yoBukhosi, lisithi, “Le yiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngayo.” 18 Thina ngokwethu salizwa ilizwi lelo elavela ezulwini silaye phezu kwentaba engcwele.

19 Njalo ilizwi labaphrofethi seliqiniswe kakhulu, njalo kuzakuba kuhle kini ukuba lilinake njengesibane esikhanyise endaweni emnyama, usuku luze luse lendonsakusa ize iphume ezinhliziyweni zenu. 20 Phezu kwakho konke, kumele liqedisise ukuthi akukho siphrofetho soMbhalo esavela ngokuchasisa okungokomphrofethi.

21 Ngoba isiphrofetho kasizange sivele entandweni yomuntu, kodwa abantu bakhuluma kuvela kuNkulunkulu beholwa nguMoya oNgcwele.
