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
Beloved, this is now the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them they are reminders to stir up your sincere mind,
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
so that you will recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
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
Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days. They will mock and proceed according to their own desires.
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
They will say, “Where is the promise of his return? From when our fathers fell asleep, all things have stayed the same, since the beginning of 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
They willfully forget that the heavens and the earth came to exist out of water and through water, long ago, by God's command,
6 ni toh khima ikpi be gbugblu mba kaba su ni gbugbu ima u tsufana
and that through these things, the world of that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
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 now the heavens and the earth are reserved for fire by that same command. They are reserved for the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
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
It should not escape your notice, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like 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 does not move slowly concerning his promises, as some consider slowness to be. Instead, he is patient toward you. He does not desire for any of you to perish, but for everyone to make room for 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
However, the day of the Lord will come as a thief: The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The elements will be burned with fire, and the earth and the deeds in it will be revealed.
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.
Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? You should live holy and godly lives.
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
You should expect and hasten the coming of the day of God. On that day, the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will be melted in great heat.
13 naki ni tu yo nyuma khi gbi shulu isama ni gbublu isama wa didimani he ni mima
But according to his promise, we are waiting for the new heavens and the new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
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
Therefore, beloved, since you expect these things, do your best to be found spotless and blameless before him, in peace.
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
Also, consider the patience of our Lord to be salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom that was given to him.
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.
Paul speaks of these things in all his letters, in which there are things that are difficult to understand. Ignorant and unstable men distort these things, as they also do the other scriptures, to 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
Therefore, beloved, since you know about these things beforehand, guard yourselves so that you are not led astray by the deceit of lawless people and you lose your own faithfulness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
