2 Peter 3
1 My friends, this is my second letter to you. In both of them I've tried to stir you up and remind you to think clearly with pure minds.
E NA mea aloha, ke palapala aku nei au i keia palapala lua; ma keia mau mea a'u e hoala nei i ko oukou naau huali ma ka hoomanao ana:
2 Remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets, and what the Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles.
I hoomanao oukou i na olelo i oleloia'i mamua, e ka poe kaula hemolele, a me ke kauoha a makou, a na lunaolelo a ka Haku, ka Hoola.
3 Above all you should know that derisive people will come in the last days, full of mockery and following their own evil desires.
E ike mua oukou i keia; i na la mahope. e hiki mai ana no ka poe hoowahawaha, hilahila ole, a e hele ana no hoi lakou mamuli o ko lakou kuko iho.
4 “So what happened to this coming he promised?” they ask. “Right from the time our ancestors died, everything's continued as it always has, ever since creation began.”
Me ka olelo mai, Auhea ka olelo oiaio no kona hiki ana mai? No ka mea, mai ka wa mai o ka hiamoe ana o na kupuna, ua waiho wale ia no na mea a pau, e like me ka wa i kinohi o ka honua nei.
5 But they deliberately ignore the fact that by God's command the heavens were created long ago. The earth came into existence from the water, and was surrounded by water.
No ka mea, ua hoonaaupo lakou i keia, no ko lakou makemake iho; eia, no ka olelo ana mai o ke Akua, mai ka wa kahiko loa mai na lani, a me ka honua e ku mai ana, mai ka wai mai, a ma ka wai hoi:
6 It was through water that the world that then existed was destroyed—through being flooded by water.
Ma ia mea no i make ai kela ao mamua, ma ka poipu ana o ka wai.
7 But by means of that same divine command the heavens and the earth that now exist are reserved for destruction by fire at the day of judgment when the wicked will be destroyed.
Aka, o ka lani, a me ka honua o keia manawa, ma ia olelo hookahi no, ua hoana e ia no ke ahi, ua malamaia hoi, no ka la hookolokolo a me ka make o na kanaka aia.
8 However, my friends, don't forget this one thing: that for the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day.
E na pokii, mai hoonaaupo oukou i keia mea hookahi; a, i ka Haku, ua like ka la hookahi, me na makahiki hookahi tausani, a o ke tausani raakahiki hoi, me ka la hookahi.
9 The Lord is not delaying the fulfillment of his promise, as some define delay, but he is being very patient with you. He doesn't want anyone to be lost, but everyone to come and repent.
Aole e hookaulua ka Haku ma ka mea ana i olelo mai ai, e like me ka kekahi poe i manao mai ai i ka lohi; aka, ua ahonui mai oia ia kakou; aole makemake oia e make kekahi, aka, e hoi mai na kanaka a pau i ka mihi.
10 However, the day of the Lord will come, unexpectedly like a thief. The heavens will explode with a thunderous roar, and the elements will be destroyed as they are burned up. The earth and everything in it will vanish.
Aka, e hiki mai auanei ka la o ka Haku, me he aihue la i ka po; alaila e lilo no ka lani me ka halulu nui, a e wela hoi na kumu mua, a hehee wale, a e pau no ka honua nei i ke ahi, a me na mea a pau i hanaia maluna iho.
11 Since everything is going to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? You should be living lives that are pure, dedicated to God,
A no ka lilo ana o keia mau mea a pau, heaha ke ano pono no oukou e noho hemolele ana, a me ka haipule,
12 waiting expectantly and being eager for the coming of the day of God. That day the heavens will catch fire and be destroyed, and the elements will melt in the heat.
Me ka manao aku, a me ka makemake loa i ka hiki ana mai o ka la o ke Akua, ka manawa e wela'i na lani i ke ahi, a hehee wale, a e kakake mai no hoi na kumu mua i ka wela loa o ke ahi?
13 But as for us, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth that God has promised where everything is good and right.
Aka, e like me ka olelo mua ana mai, ke kakali aku nei kakou i ka lani hou, a me ka honua hou, i kahi e noho ai o ka maikai.
14 So, my friends, since you're anticipating these things, make sure you'll be found pure and blameless, and at peace with God.
Nolaila, e na pokii e, no ko oukou manao ana i keia mau mea, e hooikaika oukou, i loaa oukou ia ia me ka maluhia, a me ke kina ole, a me ka hala ole.
15 Remember that it is our Lord's patience that gives the opportunity for salvation. That's what our dear brother Paul was explaining to you in all his letters with the wisdom given to him by God.
E hoomaopopo hoi, o ke ahonui o ko kakou Haku, o ke ola ia; o like me ka Paulo, ko kakou hoahanau aloha, i palapala mai ai ia oukou, ma ka naauao i haawiia mai nona.
16 He spoke about these things, though some of what he wrote is certainly hard to understand. Some ignorant and unbalanced people have twisted what he wrote to their own loss—just as they do other scriptures.
No ka mea, ma ia mau palapala a pau, ua olelo no ia i keia mau mea; he pohihihi no hoi kekahi mau mea ma ia palapala, ua kapae hoi ka poe hoonaaupo a me ka poe ka kapekepeke, ia olelo e like me ka lakou hana aua i ka olelo hemolele a paut i mea e make ai lakou.
17 My friends, since you already know this, make sure that these errors of the wicked don't lead you astray, and you don't fall from your firm position.
No ia mea la, ea, e na pokii, no ko oukou ao mua ia'ku, e ao oukou, o alakai hewa ia'ku oukou, e ka wahahee o ka poe aia, a haule mai ko oukou ku paa ana.
18 May you grow in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May he have glory, both now and forever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
E hooikaika oukou, i mahuahua ke alohaia mai, a me ko oukou ike ana aku i ko kakou Haku a Hoola hoi ia Iesu Kristo. Ia ia no ka hoonaniia'ku, ano no, a mau loa aku. Amene. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
