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,
प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूका निष्कपट मनलाई उत्साहित तुल्याउन म यो दोस्रो पत्र लेख्दै छु,
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;
ताकि तिमीहरूले पवित्र अगमवक्ताहरूले बोलेका वचनहरू र तिमीहरूका प्रेरितहरूद्वारा हाम्रा प्रभु र मुक्तिदाताका आज्ञाहरूको याद गर्न सक ।
3 knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,
पहिले यो कुरा जान कि अन्तिम दिनहरूमा गिल्ला गर्नेहरू तिमीहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्दै र आफ्नै इच्छामा हिँड्दै आउनेछन् ।
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.
अनि यसो भन्दै आउनेछन्, “उहाँको आगमनको प्रतिज्ञा कहाँ गयो? हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू बितेर गए, तर सृष्टिको सुरुदेखि नै सबै चिज उस्तै छन् ।”
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,
धेरै वर्षअगि वचनद्वारा नै स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी पानीबाट बनाइएका थिए भन्ने कुरा तिनीहरू स्वेच्छाले बिर्सन्छन् ।
6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.
अनि त्यस बेलाको पृथ्वी उहाँको वचन र जल प्रलयद्वारा नष्ट भयो
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.
अनि स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी आगोको न्यायको निम्ति र दुष्टहरूको विनाशको लागि त्यही वचनद्वारा सुरक्षित राखिएको छ ।
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.
प्रिय हो, यो कुरा नभुल कि प्रभुको लागि एक दिन एक हजार वर्ष र एक हजार वर्ष एक दिनझैँ हुन्छ ।
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.
अरूले सोचेजस्तै परमेश्वर आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञाको बारेमा ढिलो गर्नुहुन्न, तर तिमीहरूको निम्ति उहाँ धैर्यवान् हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ तिमीहरूमध्ये कोही पनि नाश होस् भन्ने चाहनुहुन्न, तर उहाँले सबैलाई पश्चात्ताप गर्ने समय दिने चाहना गर्नुहुन्छ ।
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.
तर परमेश्वरको समय चोरजस्तै गरी आउनेछ । ठुलो आवाजसहित आकाश बितेर जानेछ । आगोले तत्त्वहरू पगाल्नेछ र पृथ्वी अनि यसमा भएका कामहरू प्रकट हुनेछन् ।
11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
सबै कुरा यसरी नै नाश गरिनेछन् भने तिमीहरू कस्ता मानिसहरू हुनुपर्ने हो? तिमीहरूले पवित्र र धर्मी जीवन जिउनुपर्छ ।
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?
तिमीहरूले व्यग्रतासाथ परमेश्वरको आगमनको लागि आशा गर्नुपर्छ । त्यस दिन आकाशहरू आगोद्वारा नष्ट गरिनेछ र तत्त्वहरूलाई प्रचण्ड तापले पगाल्नेछन् ।
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
तर उहाँको प्रतिज्ञाअनुसार हामी नयाँ स्वर्ग र नयाँ पृथ्वीको पर्खाइमा छौँ, जहाँ धार्मिकताले बास गर्छ ।
14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;
त्यसकारण प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू गरेका हुनाले दागरहित र खोटरहित अनि उहाँको शान्तिमा हुनको निम्ति सक्दो प्रयास गर ।
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,
र हाम्रा प्रभुको धैर्यलाई मुक्ति ठान, जसरी हाम्रा प्रिय भाइ पावलले उनलाई दिइएको ज्ञानद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई लेखेका छन् ।
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.
पावलले उनका सबै पत्रहरूमा यी कुराहरूको बारेमा उल्लेख गरेका छन्, जहाँ बुझ्न कठिन हुने कुराहरू पनि छन् । अनुशासनहीन र अस्थिर मानिसहरूले यी कुराहरूलाई बङ्ग्याउँछन् जसरी तिनीहरूले धर्मशास्त्रका अरू वचनहरूलाई बङ्ग्याउँदै आफ्नो विनाश निम्त्याउँछन् ।
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:
त्यसकारण प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू जानेको हुनाले आफैँलाई सुरक्षित राख ताकि व्यवस्थाहीन मानिसहरूको छलले तिमीहरूलाई टाढा नलैजाओस्, र तिमीहरूले आफ्नो विश्वासयोग्यतालाई नगुमाओ ।
The World is Destroyed by Water
