2 Pita 3
1 ziza me hhan vuvue ni yi wu be suhmu i wayi a hi hhan vuvumu u hari me soh ti yi kade chu yi ni immere u njaaji du yi ka de che yi ni immere u njaaji
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in [both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 du yi tika illan tere annabawa tsratsra wa bs hla ni bau ni mummla ni kpakyeme irji bu ni wa kpeta chuwo ni tu mazanibua
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 be itoh ni mummla mba hla de bi zah di mba ye ni toh u kaikle mba ta zayi nda kakpi u sonkpa mba yo koshi shi mba
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 mba tere kwmaye ma ahe tse wa mba tere a ni kwmye? ni toh wa mba tibu be sisemu mba qhu ikpiomba he wawu na u mummla na wa mbati mba
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
5 ni nayeh mba tere mba kparisu de shulu ni meme mba na he ni mima tu ni sisemu ni kpa kyeme u irji
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 ni toh khima ikpi be gbugblu mba kaba su ni gbugbu ima u tsufana
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 ni meme u ziz a ti mba zi si gbi ilu ni kpakyeme khi ma mba ti baki ni gbe ivi u bla tre ni ni kasu ni be wa bana hhu iko na
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 na kparisu wayi na be sonmu ivi iri ni trji a he na ise dubd ni irji isei dubu a he na ivi riri mba he naki
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 irji na kaci ni yo nyun ma na wa beri mba mba ya kaci ni tu kima ani vu sonro ni yi ana sondu ko riri bi du kasuna ani yi toh du yiye kpa ti njaaji.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 na ki ivi u ye irji ani ye na idi u yibi ishulu ni kasu ni gudjur u gbagba ilu ni gon ikpi u gbugblu wa mba he ni mima mba djur ni rah
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 tu de ikpi beyi mba kasu na ki bebe idi mba ki a mla de khi he naki? amka de khi sonson u tsara tsran hwu.
[Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness,
12 son ni yo isorobi de irji a ni ye gbagbla ni vikima mba kaa shulussu ni ilu naki koge ni koge i shan ni huu lu u varvara me
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 naki ni tu yo nyuma khi gbi shulu isama ni gbublu isama wa didimani he ni mima
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 nakima be sonmu tude be yo sonro ni kpi beyi be ti ni gbegble be du mba na toye ni tsi chudu ni dhi na ko ni kpi meme ma na ni koshshi mai du mba toyi ni mi si sonro
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 na ki be ka vu sonro irji a he u kpachu yi na wa Bulus isironro vayi bu a hanatawu ni toh ma wa mba noa
And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 Bulus a tere ni tu kpi beki wawu wa mba he ni mi han vuvumaa ni muma ikpi bari mba he ni ya toh be wa mba na toh kpi ana ni idi be wa mbana son kpieme na ba kwma tere siran na ki nda guru bsri yo niko mba du mbawuu kpamba.
As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 na ki be sonmu be rigga de toh ikpi be yiyei be ka ya kpabi na duba guru yi na ni guru u idi be wa mbana huu dika hre de na toh kpakyeme ini mi bi na
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
