2 Peter 3
1 Beloved, this is now my second letter to you. Both of them are reminders to stir you to wholesome thinking
ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎪᏪᎵ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎢᏨᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᏕᏨᏰᏍᏓᏁ ᎤᏠᎾᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏯᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
2 by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᎤᏂᏃᎮᏛ ᎨᏥᎸᏉᏗ ᎠᎾᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᏦᎦᏕᏲᏅᎯ ᎣᎩᏅᏏᏛ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᎴ ᏗᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ.
3 Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎢᏣᏅᏖᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᏅᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᎷᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏂᏐᏢᎢᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᎾᏚᎸᏅᎥᏍᎬ ᎠᏂᏍᏓᏩᏕᎩ,
4 “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.”
ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠ ᎢᏯᏂᏪᏍᎩ, ᎦᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᎤᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎢ? ᎠᏂᎦᏴᎵᎨᏰᏃ ᎬᏩᏂᎵᏅᏨᎯ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᎴᏅᏛ, ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏉ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏥᏄᏍᏛᏉ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲ ᎤᏬᏢᏅᏅ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏅᏛ.
5 But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᎾᏚᎸᏛ ᎾᏂᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏁᏨ ᏅᏧᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅ ᎦᎸᎶ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏎᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎠᎹᏱ ᎦᏚ ᏧᎦᏚᏕᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏭᎯ ᏥᎦᏙᎨᎢ;
6 through which the world of that time perished in the flood.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎾᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏎ ᎠᎹᏱᎭ ᏥᏄᎵᏍᏔᏁᎢ, ᎤᏲᏤᎢ.
7 And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎪᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᎤᏁᏨ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᏓᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ, ᎠᏥᎸᏱ ᏭᎾᎵᏰᎢᎶᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏓᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᎬᏂ ᏗᎫᎪᏙᏗᏱ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎨᏥᏛᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᏚᎾᏁᎶᏛᎾ.
8 Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏑᏓᎴᎩ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏂᏥᎦᏔᎲᎾᏉ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏌᏉ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏙᏗᎧᏂᏍᎬ ᏌᏉ ᎢᏯᎦᏴᎵ ᎢᏧᏕᏘᏴᏛ ᎤᏠᏱ, ᏌᏉᏃ ᎢᏯᎦᏴᎵ ᎢᏧᏕᏘᏴᏛ ᏌᏉ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏠᏱ.
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏍᎦᏃᎵᏳ ᏱᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅ ᎢᏳᏛᏁᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎦᏃᎳ ᏣᏁᎵᎭ, ᎬᏂᏗᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎩᎦᏘᏴᎢ, ᏄᏚᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗᏱ, ᏂᎦᏗᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏂᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏓᏅᏛᎢ.
10 But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.
ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᎦ ᎠᏎ ᏓᎦᎷᏥ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᏃᏍᎩᏍᎩ ᏒᏃᏱ ᏥᎦᎷᎪᎢ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᏓᎦᎶᏐᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏃᏴᎨᏍᏗ, ᎪᏢᏔᏅᎯᏃ ᎠᏓᏪᎵᎩᏍᎬ ᏛᎪᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎾᎿᎭᏃ ᎪᏢᏅᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎪᎲᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎤᏗᏒᎲᏍᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᏂᏥᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᏱᎩ ᎢᏣᎴᏂᏙᎲᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ!
12 as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.
ᏱᏥᎦᏖᏃᎭ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏱᏣᏚᎵᎭ ᎤᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᎦ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎦᎸᎶ ᎤᏥᏍᏢ ᏨᏛᏗᏒᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᏢᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏓᏪᎵᎩᏍᎬ ᏛᏗᏌᏂ.
13 But in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅ ᎢᏗᎦᏖᏃᎭ ᎢᏤ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎢᏤ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎾᎿᎭᎡᎲ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ.
14 Therefore, beloved, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace—spotless and blameless in His sight.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏥᏥᎦᏖᏃᎭ, ᎢᏣᏟᏂᎬᏏ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛ ᎢᏨᏓᏅᏛ ᎢᏥᏩᏛᏗᏱ ᏄᏓᏓᎸᎾ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏁᏤᎵᏎᎲᎾ.
15 Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎬᏂᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵᎦ ᎠᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᏎᏍᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎡᏗᎨᏳᎢ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᏉᎳ ᎬᏗᏍᎬ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏥᏁᎸ ᏥᏦᏪᎳᏁᎸ;
16 He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏬᏪᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏕᎬᏁᎰ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ; ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏓᏑᏯ ᎢᎦᏛ ᎠᏍᏓᏱᏳ ᎪᎵᏍᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏂᏭᎾᏕᎶᏆᎥᎾ ᎠᎴ ᏗᏂᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᏓᏂᏁᏟᏴᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᏐᎢ ᎪᏪᎵ ᏂᏓᏅᏁᎲᎢ, ᎤᏅᏒᏉ ᎤᏂᏛᏗᏍᎩ ᎨᏒᎢ.
17 Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᏥᏥᎦᏔᎭ, ᎢᏤᏯᏔᎮᏍᏗ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎠᏂᎾᎦᎾ ᎤᏂᎵᏓᏍᏔᏅ ᏕᏣᏘᏂᏒ ᏗᏥᏅᏨᎩ ᏗᏥᏲᏒᎩ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᏂᏣᏛᏅᎢ.
The World is Destroyed by Water
