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,
Ndị enyi m, nke a bụ akwụkwọ nke abụọ m na-edetara unu. Nʼime ha abụọ, ihe m mere bụ ichetara unu ihe ndị ahụ niile unu maara na itute uche unu banyere echiche zuruoke.
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;
Achọrọ m ka unu cheta okwu ndị amụma dị nsọ kwuru mgbe ochie na iwu nke Onyenwe anyị na Onye nzọpụta anyị nyere site na ndị ozi ya.
3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,
Na mbụ, unu ga-amata nke a, na nʼoge ikpeazụ, ndị na-akwa emo ga-apụta, site nʼịkwa emo gbaso agụ ihe ọjọọ niile nke anụ ahụ ha chọrọ
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.
na-asị, “O kwere unu nkwa na ọ ga-abịa, gịnị mere na ọ bịabeghị? Kemgbe nna nna anyị ha nwụrụ, ihe niile ka dị otu ha dị na mbụ, site nʼokike ụwa.”
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,
Ha kpachaara anya chefuo na site nʼogologo oge gara aga, e sitere nʼokwu ọnụ Chineke kee eluigwe ma meekwa ka ụwa dịrị site na mmiri nke gbara ụwa gburugburu.
6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.
Ọ bụkwa site na mmiri ndị a ka e ji bibie ma laa nʼiyi ụwa nke dị nʼoge ahụ.
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.
Ọ bụkwa otu okwu ahụ ka e ji nye iwu ka e chebe eluigwe na ụwa tutu ruo ụbọchị ahụ, mgbe a ga-eji ọkụ laa ha nʼiyi nʼụbọchị ahụ a ga-ekpe ndị niile na-amaghị Chineke ikpe, laakwa ha nʼiyi.
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.
Ndị enyi m, unu echefula otu okwu a, nʼanya Chineke, otu ụbọchị dịka puku afọ, puku afọ dịkwa ka otu ụbọchị.
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.
Onyenwe anyị anaghị anọ ọdụ nʼimezu nkwa ya, dịka ndị ụfọdụ nʼahụta ya na ọ bụ ịnọ ọdụ. Kama o nwere ntachiobi nʼebe unu nọ, nʼihi na ọ chọghị ka onye ọbụla laa nʼiyi, kama ọ chọrọ ka onye ọbụla bịaruo na nchegharị.
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.
Ma ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị ga-abịa dịka onye ohi. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, eluigwe ga-eji oke ụzụ gafee. Ihe niile dị nʼeluigwe ga-agba ọkụ, laa nʼiyi. Ụwa na ọrụ niile a rụrụ nʼime ya ga-erepịakwa ọkụ nʼotu ntabi anya.
11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
Ebe ọ bụ na ihe niile gbara anyị gburugburu ga-esi otu a laa nʼiyi, ụdị ndị dị aṅaa ka unu kwesiri ịbụ? Unu kwesiri ị na-ebi ndụ dị nsọ na nke ịsọpụrụ Chineke,
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?
dịka unu na-ele anya ọbịbịa ụbọchị nke Chineke, na-echesikwa ya ike ka ọ bịa ngwangwa. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ụbọchị a ga-amụnye eluigwe niile ọkụ, mee ka ihe niile dị na ya gbaze bụrụ ihe na-agaghị adịkwa.
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
Ma anyị na-ele anya mmezu nkwa ahụ o kwere, nkwa inye anyị eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ ebe ezi omume naanị ga-adị.
14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;
Bikonu ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, mgbe unu nọ na-ele anya ihe ndị a, jisienụ ike hụ na aka unu dị ọcha, ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta na ndị ha na ya dị nʼudo.
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,
Chetakwanụ na ntachiobi Onyenwe anyị pụtara nzọpụta, dịka ezi nwanna anyị Pọl jiri amamihe Chineke nyere ya deere unu ihe banyere ya.
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.
O na-ede otu ihe ahụ nʼakwụkwọ ozi ya niile, na-ekwu ihe banyere ihe ndị a nʼime ha. E nwere ụfọdụ ihe o kwuru nke siri ike ịghọta nke ndị nzuzu na ndị na-amaghị ihe na-akọwa dịka ha si chepụta nʼobi ha. Ha asụgharịala ihe o dere dịka ha na-emekwa mpaghara akwụkwọ nsọ ụfọdụ, si otu a wetara onwe ha ịla nʼiyi.
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:
Ya mere, ezi ndị enyi m, ebe unu matara nke a, nọrọnụ na nche ka a ghara isite na njehie ndị na-emebi iwu duhie unu, ime ka unu si nʼọnọdụ unu daa.
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)
Bụrụnụ ndị na-eto eto nʼime amara. Bụrụkwanụ ndị na-aga nʼihu ịmụta ihe banyere Onyenwe anyị na Onye nzọpụta anyị Jisọs Kraịst nke ọma. Ka otuto dịrị ya ugbu a na mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
