2 Pita 3
1 Ka püi he aw, ahin hin nami veia ka yuk lawa kca anghngihnaka kyaki. Ka yuk lawa kca ani nghngih üng, ahin he ning jah süm besak lü, nami mlung k’uma cungngaihnak ngcim a ve law vai ka hlüeia phäh ka ning jah mthümhletnaka kyaki.
This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;
2 Ahlana sahma ngcime naw ami pyena ngthue, nami ngsäe üngkhyüh ning jah peta Küikyan Bawi ja Bawipaa a ngthupete cen, nami süm be vai hlüei veng.
that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:
3 Akcüka nami ksing vai ta, akpäihnak khawmhnüpe üng ta ami mtisa hlüa awmihkie po law acun he. Amimi naw ning jah yaihei u lü,
knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,
4 “Ka law be khai ti lü khyütam am jah pe sü, am law be mä? Hawia ni a ve? Kami pupae pi thi pängki he, cunüngpi khawmdeknu mhnünceng üngkhyüh ami vea mäiha, asihna hin veei ham ve u” tia ngthähnak am ning jah nghngeka na law acun he.
and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 Ahlana Pamhnam naw ngthu pe se, khawmdek ja khankhaw ngtüi lawki tia mawng cun asihlinga hnusung law khaie. Khawmdek cun tui üngkhyüha tui am sehbei lü,
For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;
6 khawmdek kphyüm cun pi tui üngka naw lawkia mlikpitui am mthiha kyaki.
by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 Cunüngpi, atuh vekia khawmdek ja khankhawe ta ngthumkhyahnak khawmhnüp veia ve khaia Pamhnam naw pyenki. Acunüng, khyümhnam kaa vekia khyange ngthu jah mkhyah lü a jah mkhih vaia kcün üng, khankhawe ja khawmdek pi a jah mkhih hnga vaia a jah tak ni.
but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 Cunüngpi, ka püi he aw, Bawipaa phäh ta khawmhnüp mat ja kum thawng mat hin am hngalang, tängeiki xawi ti cun käh mhnih u bä.
But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Khyang hea ngaiha kba, Bawipa hin a khyütama khana cücawnki am ni. Acuna nghngün üng, “Khyang matca pi käh cimpye lü, khyang naküt a mkhyenak üngka naw nami ngjutcam be vai a hlüeia phäh” nami khana a mlung msaüki ni.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 Cunüngpi, Bawipa Khawmhnüp cun mpyukeia kba pha law khai. Acuna Khawmhnüp üng, khankhaw cun mpyüksea nghmüm lü khyükei khai. Khankhawa veki naküte cun meia däi lü cimpye päih khaie. Khawmdek ja a k’uma veki naküte pi khyükleih päih khaie.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Anaküt cun ahikba cimpye päih khaie. Nangmi ta ia khyanga ja na kyak kawm? Khankhaw meia däi lü a cimpyenak, khankhawa veki naküt angling am atuia ami ngkhyawnaka Khawmhnüp, Pamhnama Khawmhnüp pha law khai tia äpei lü, acukba thawnhlawk law khaia khana ktha na lü, na xünsak ngcingcaih lü Pamhnam üng na cuapei vai hin nglawi bawki ni.
Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in [all] holy living and godliness,
looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Cunüngpi, keimi naw ta Pamhnama bekhüt: ngsungpyunnaka venak im, khankhaw kthai ja khawmdek kthai cun kami mtäteikie.
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Acunakyase ka püi he aw, acuna Khawmhnüp nami mtätki ania mäiha Pamhnama hmuha ngcingcaih lü mkhyenak käh vekia, ani am nami ngkhawtng’ye vaia ktha na ua.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.
15 Khyang naküt küikyannak ami yah vaia kcünkdaw ning jah pe lü Bawipa naw a mlung a msaü cen käh mhnih ua. Pamhnam naw a peta pumngyam sumei lü kami püi Pawluh naw nami veia kca a yuk law üng ahina mawng ni a pyen.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;
16 A yuka kcae naküt üng ahina mawng ni aktunga a yuk. A yuknak üng am ngjakkya vai amsah veki. Am ksingkia khyange ja khyang vawvae naw acune am cutei lü akcea cangcime pi ami hleihleia jah lumlatkie ni. Acun cun amimäta khana cimpyenak cun pha law khai.
as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Cunüngpi, nangmi ka püi he naw ta nami ksing päng u ni. Thum kaa awmki he khyangea hmanak cen käh läklam lü, üpawmnakia nami venak üngkhyüh käh nami kyukngtäng vaia mceiei ua.
Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
