2 KaPetros 1 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

1 ¹USimon Petros, umkhonzi nompostile kaYesu Krestu, kubo abanikwe ukholo olunqabileyo njengolwethu ngobulungisa bukaThixo wethu noMsindisi uYesu Krestu: ²Makwandiswe kuni ubabalo noxolo ngokwazi uBawo wethu noYesu iNkosi yethu.

Abahlulelani Bemvelo kaBawo

³Amandla akhe obuThixo asinike konke esikusweleyo ebomini nasekuzinikeleni kuThixo, ngokwazi lowo wasibizayo ngozuko nobungangamela bakhe. ⁴Ngazo ezi zinto wasinika amadinga akhe anqabileyo namakhulu kunene, ukuze ngawo nibelane ngemvelo yobuThixo, senibalekile ukonakala kwehlabathi okuvela ezinkanukweni ezimbi. ⁵Ngoko ke, nikhuthale ngako konke, yongezani ukulunga elukholweni lwenu, nasekulungeni yongezani ukwazi; ⁶nasekwazini, ukuzeyisa; nasekuzeyiseni, ukunyamezela; nasekunyamezeleni, ukuhlonela uThixo; ⁷nasekuhloneleni uThixo, uthando lobuzalwana; nothando lobuzalwana, uthando. ⁸Ukuba ninazo ezi zinto, zisanda, ziya kunenza ningabi ngabangenamsebenzi nabangenaziqhamo ekumazini iNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu. ⁹Osukuba engenazo ezi zinto uyimfama, akaboni kude, ekulibele ukuba wahlanjululwa ezonweni zakhe zangaphambili. ¹⁰Ngoko ke, bazalwana, zamani ukuqinisa ukubizwa nokunyulwa kwenu; yenzani ezi zinto, anisayi kukha nikhubeke. ¹¹Ngaloo ndlela niya kunikwa ngokutyebileyo ukungena ebukumkanini obungunaphakade beNkosi yethu noMsindisi uYesu Krestu.

¹²Ngoko ke ndohlala ndinikhumbuza ngezi zinto, nangona niyazi nimi niqinile enyanisweni eninayo ngoku. ¹³Ndikubona kufanelekile ukuhlala ndinivuselela ngezikhumbuzo ngexa ndisahleli kule ntente, ^a a v13 UPetros ubiza umzimba wakhe wenyama ngokuthi 'yintente' — indawo yokuhlala yethutyana aza kuyishiya kungekudala (jonga kweyesi-2 kwabaseKorinte 5:1-4). ¹⁴kuba ndiyazi ukuba kungekudala ndiya kuyibeka ecaleni intente yam, njengoko iNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu yandibonisayo. ¹⁵Ndiya kuzama kananjalo ukuze nikwazi ukuhlala nizikhumbule ezi zinto emva kokumka kwam.

¹⁶Kaloku asizange silandele iintsomi eziqanjwe ngobungcweti ekunixeleleni ngamandla nokufika kweNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu—saye singababoneli bobungangamsha bayo.

¹⁷Wamkela imbeko nozuko kuBawo wethu, oko kwafika kuye izwi livela kuZuko Olungangamsha, lisithi: “Lo nguNyana wam, endimthandayo; ndikholisiwe nguye.” ^b b v17 La ngamazwi kaBawo wethu ngokwakhe entabeni — ukholiswa nguNyana wakhe, ambize ngonguNyana oyintanda, kwaliliya lona izwi ekwalivayo uPetros, uYakobi, noYohane ekuguqukeni kwesimo.

¹⁸Thina ngokwethu saliva eli zwi lisiza livela ezulwini, kuba sasinaye kuloo ntaba ingcwele.

¹⁹Kananjalo sinelizwi labaprofeti eliqiniseke ngakumbi—nenza kakuhle ukulinyamekela, njengesibane esikhanya endaweni emnyama, ide kuse imini, kuphume ikhwezi lokusa ezintliziyweni zenu. ²⁰Ngaphezu kwako konke, nifanele ukuqonda ukuba akukho siprofeto sesibhalo esivela kwingcaciso yomntu ngokwakhe. ²¹Akuzange kubekho siprofeto esivela ngokuthanda komntu, kodwa abantu bathetha bevela kuBawo wethu, beqhutywa nguMoya oyiNgcwele.
