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,
Ry malala, ity no epistily faharoa soratako ho aminareo ankehitriny, ka izy roroa dia samy entiko mampifoha ny sainareo madio amin’ ny fampahatsiarovana,
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;
mba hahatsiarovanareo ny teny voalazan’ ny mpaminany masìna rahateo sy ny didin’ ny Tompo sady Mpamonjy izay nentin’ ny Apostoly nirahina ho atỳ aminareo;
3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,
efa fantatrareo voalohany indrindra fa amin’ ny andro farany dia hisy mpaniratsira avy haniratsira, mandeha araka ny filany
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.
ka manao hoe: Aiza ny teny fikasana ny amin’ ny fihaviany? Fa hatrizay nodian’ ny razana mandry dia maharitra tsy miova ny zavatra rehetra; eny, hatramin’ ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao aza.
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,
Fa minia jamba ireo ka tsy mahalala fa nisy hatramin’ ny ela ny lanitra, ary nisy tany koa, izay niseho avy tamin’ ny rano, sady rano no nanaovana azy tamin’ ny tenin’ Andriamanitra,
6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.
ary rano koa no nandravana izao rehetra izao taloha tamin’ ny nanasaforany azy;
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.
fa izao lanitra sy tany ankehitriny izao dia hazonin’ izany teny izany ho amin’ ny afo ka tehirizina ho amin’ ny andro fitsarana sy fandringanana ny ratsy fanahy.
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.
Nefa, ry malala, izao zavatra iray loha izao no aoka tsy hohadinoinareo: ny indray andro amin’ ny Tompo dia toy ny arivo taona, ary ny arivo taona toy ny indray andro.
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.
Ny Tompo tsy mahela ny teny fikasany, araka izay ataon’ ny sasany ho fahelany; fa mahari-po aminareo Izy, ka tsy tiany hisy ho very, fa mba ho tonga amin’ ny fibebahana izy rehetra,
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.
Fa ho avy tahaka ny mpangalatra ny andron’ ny Tompo, ary amin’ izany ny lanitra dia ho lasa amin’ ny firimorimoana mafy, ary ho levon’ ny afo ny tenan’ ny zavatra rehetra, ka hodorana avokoa ny tany sy ny asa izay eo aminy.
11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
Koa raha ho levona toy izany izao zavatra rehetra izao, dia olona tokony hanao ahoana moa ianareo amin’ ny fitondran-tena masìna sy ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra,
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?
sady manantena no mampahafaingana ny hihavian’ ny andron’ Andriamanitra, izay hahamay sy hahalevona ny lanitra ary handoro sy hampiempo ny tenan’ ny zavatra rehetra!
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
Kanefa isika, araka ny teny fikasany, dia manantena lanitra vaovao sy tany vaovao, izay itoeran’ ny fahamarinana.
14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;
Koa amin’ izany, ry malala, satria manantena izany zavatra izany ianareo, efa mazotoa mba ho hita tsy manan-tsiny amam-pondro eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo amin’ ny fihavanana.
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,
Ary ny fahari-pon’ ny Tompontsika dia ekeo ho famonjena, tahaka ny voasoratr’ i Paoly, rahalahy malalantsika, taminareo koa araka ny fahendrena nomena azy,
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.
tahaka ny ataony ao amin’ ny epistiliny rehetra koa, fa milaza izany zavatra izany ao aminy izy; ary amin’ ireo efa misy zavatra saro-pantarina, izay aolan’ ny olona kely fahalalana sady tsy miorina tsara, tahaka ny anaovany ny teny sasany amin’ ny Soratra Masìna koa, ka mahatonga fahaverezana ho an’ ny tenany.
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:
Koa, satria fantatrareo rahateo izany, ry malala, dia tandremo fandrao ho voataonan’ ny fahadisoan’ ny ratsy fanahy ianareo ka ho lavo hiala amin’ izay iorenanareo;
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)
fa mitomboa amin’ ny fahasoavana sy ny fahalalana an’ i Jesosy Kristy, Tompontsika sy Mpamonjy. Ho Azy anie ny voninahitra ankehitriny sy mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
