Kuwerenga Kwachiwiri

The Second Letter of Saint Peter 3: 18-14

3:8	Komabe moona, let this one thing not escape notice, wokondedwa kwambiri, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day.
3:9	The Lord is not delaying his promise, as some imagine, but he does act patiently for your sake, not wanting anyone to perish, but wanting all to be turned back to penance.
3:10	Then the day of the Lord shall arrive like a thief. Pa tsiku limenelo, the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and truly the elements shall be dissolved with heat; then the earth, and the works that are within it, shall be completely burned up.
3:11	Choncho, since all these things will be dissolved, what kind of people ought you to be? In behavior and in piety, be holy,
3:12	waiting for, and hurrying toward, the advent of the day of the Lord, by which the burning heavens shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt from the heat of the fire.
3:13	Komabe moona, in accord with his promises, we are looking forward to the new heavens and the new earth, in which justice lives.
3:14	Choncho, wokondedwa kwambiri, while awaiting these things, be diligent, so that you may be found to be immaculate and unassailable before him, in peace.

1:8	I have baptized you with water. Komabe moona, he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
