2 Peter 3
1 This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you
O rañetse, intoy ty taratasiko faharoe nisokirako hampitsekake an-tiahy ty fitsakorean’ arofo’ areo ki’e,
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
haniahy i saontsy nampisaontsieñe o mpitoky miavakeo taoloy naho i nandilia’ i Talè, toe Mpandrombakey, añamo Firàhe’ areooy.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
Maharendreha hey te hivotrake eo amo andro honka’eo o mpanivetiveo hanivetive, hañorike ty drao-rati’e;
4 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.”
hanao ty hoe: Aia ze o fampitamañe i fitotsaha’e zao? fa sikal’ ami’ty nirotan-droae’ay le kila mitoloñe ami’ty fanoe’e hirik’ami’ty fifotora’ ty voatse toy.
5 For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,
Ie ifahara’e, le amoea’e te nampiboak’ o likerañeo haehae i tsaran’ Añaharey, naho boak’ an-drano vaho añivo rano ty nañoreñañe ty tane toy;
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
ie ty nandrotsahañe ty tane toy tañ’ andro izay, ie niepoepoen-drano.
7 But the heavens that exist now 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.
Le ty amy tsaray, mihaja ho ami’ty afo o likerañeo naho ty tane toy henaneo, ho amy androm-pizakañe naho fandrotsahañe ondaty lo-tserekeoy.
8 But do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
O rañetse, ko amoea’ areo itoy, te hoe arivo taoñe ty andro raike amy Talè, le hoe andro raike ty arivo taoñe.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Tsy malaoñe amy nampitamae’ey t’i Talè, ami’ty fanoe’ ty ila’e ty hoe malaoñe; f’ie mahaliñe an-tika, tsy satri’e te ndra iaia ty ho momoke, fa te songa hisoloho.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
Ho tondroke hoe mpikizo an-kaleñe ty andro’ i Talè, ie hihelañe añe o likerañeo am-pitraontraoñañe, le kila ho tomontoe’ ty hamae vaho ho forototoe’ ty afo ty tane toy naho o fitoloña’eo.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Aa kanao hene hiteno, h’ondaty manao akore v’inahareo am-pañaveloañe miavake vaho am-pañambenañe Hake?
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
ie mitamà naho manaentàeñe i andron’ Añaharey, ama’e ty hamorototoe’ ty afo o likerañeo, vaho fonga hitranak’ ami’ty hamae’e.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Fe ty amy nampitama’ey, le misalala likeram-bao naho tane vao imoneñan-kavantañañe tika.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Ie amy zao ry rañetse, kanao liñisañe, imaneo ty hahavazohoa’e anahareo an-kazavan-troke tsy aman-kandra tsy aman-kakeo.
15 Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,
Itsakoreo te fandrombahañe ty fahaliñisa’ i Talèntikañey, hambañe amy nisokira’ i Paoly rahalahin-tika sarotsey amy hihitse natolots’ azey;
16 as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
ie mitaroñe i entañe zay amo hene taratasi’eo. Toe ao ty tsy mora rendreke ie vandibandire’ o bàdo naho mañali-foo, hambañe ami’ty fanoa’ iareo o sokitse masiñe ila’eo, himomoha’ iareo.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
Aa kanao fohi’ areo aolo ry rañetse, le mitaoa tsy hikapotrake ty figahiña’areo, hampandridrihe’e ty fandilara’ o tsereheñeo,
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and in the day of that age (aiōn g165). Amen.
F’ie mitomboa ami’ty hasoa naho ami’ty faharendrehañe i Talèntika Iesoà Mpandrombake Norizañey. Ama’e ty engeñe henaneo naho pak’ an-tsa tsy modo! Amena. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
