2 Peter 3

1 This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in [both] which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind,

Ka it te awng, tu in hi laithak ni na sia, note kung ah kong at hi; ka laithak a nina sung ah a thiangtho na thinsung uh phawk tawntungna taw in kong hanthawn hi:

2 to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;

Kamsang thiangtho te in tanglai a sonkholsa thu te le ko sawltak te zang in Topa le Ngumpa i thupitna sia phawktawntung tu in ka at a hihi:

3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,

Hi tu sia amasabel in heak tu a hihi, ni tawpkhak ni ciang in ngual nu nau thei te hongpai tu a, amate i cilesa deina bang in nungta uh hi,

4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus from [the] beginning of [the] creation.

Taciang amate in, hongpai kik tu thu hong kamciam pa koisung ah om ziam? banghangziam cile i pu le i pa te a mut zawk uh bitphuana a kipatcil pan kipan in na theampo sia ama ngeina bang in om nginge hi, ci hi.

5 For this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God,

Banghangziam cile Pathian thu tungtawn in vantung om a, leitung zong tui sung pan le tuisung ah om hi ci thu sia, a he ngawl bang in a om uh hang a hihi:

6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.

Tabang in leitung sia tui taw khu a, susia siat hi:

7 But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Ahihang tu hun in a om vantung le leitung sia Pathian he ngawl te thukhenna le suksiatna ni in mei taw hal tu in a khetlai a hihi.

8 But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Ahizong ka it te awng, Topa mai ah nikhat sia kum tulkhat bang a hihi, taciang kum tulkhat sia nikhat bang a hihi, ci thu khat sia mangil heak vun.

9 [The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Mi pawlkhat te in a kamciam taw kisai in Topa sia haisang mama hi, ci in ngaisun napi, zuanhai ngawl hi, ahihang khatbeak zong mangthang ngawl tu le mi theampo ki sikkikna ah theng tu a dei hu in thinsautak in hong ngak hi.

10 But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

Ahizong Topa nisia zan ciang in nguta bang in hong theng tu hi; tua ni sia vantung ah aw nging mama taw bo tu a, taciang piansak nate theampo zong a satlei hu in tui siat hi, leitung le a sung a om piansak nate theampo zong kang siat tu hi.

11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,

Hi te theampo bosiat tu ahi hu in, a thiangtho nuntakzia le Pathian mi hina taw na nuntak tu uh hi ngawl ziam?

12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?

Vantung sia mei in kang in bo tu a, van ah a ki omsak theampo zong a satlei hu in tui siat tu hi, tua Pathian ni hong thet tu sia lawptak in na ngak vun.

13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

Ahihang eite sia, ama kamciam bang in thutang suana om na mun vanthak le leithak i en tek hi.

14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;

Tua ahikom, ka it te awng, tabang nate na lamet uh hu in, Ama in note sia thinnopna, a niin bang ngawl le paubang ngawl in hong mu thei natu in hanciam tavun.

15 and account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him,

Ka it ka suapui pa Paul in Pathian i piak ciimna taw note tung ah a at na sung ah a om bang in, Topa sia eite ngupna atu in a thinsau mama hi;

16 as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

Ama laithak theampo sung ah, a tel haksa thu pawlkhat om hi, lai sin ngawl te le a kho ngawl te in laithiangtho dang sung ah mihing te in a khiakna khial in a telkhial uh bang in, amate le amate ki suksiat na suak tawntung hi.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these] things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness:

Tua ahikom ka it te awng, mihing pha ngawl te in a khialna taw hong makai ngawl in, note a kip a kho mun pan in na pu thei ngawl natu in, hi thu te hong hesak zo ahikom kidawm in om tavun.

18 but grow in grace, and in [the] knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Ahihang hesuakna sung ah ahizong, ka Topa le Ngumpa Jesus Christ heakna sung ah ahizong in, khang tavun. Ama tung ah minthanna sia tu le a tawntung in om paisuak tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)
