2 Peter 3
1 This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,
hē priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ yathā pavitrabhaviṣyadvaktr̥bhiḥ pūrvvōktāni vākyāni trātrā prabhunā prēritānām asmākam ādēśañca sāratha tathā yuṣmān smārayitvā
2 To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour.
yuṣmākaṁ saralabhāvaṁ prabōdhayitum ahaṁ dvitīyam idaṁ patraṁ likhāmi|
3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,
prathamaṁ yuṣmābhiridaṁ jñāyatāṁ yat śēṣē kālē svēcchācāriṇō nindakā upasthāya
4 And say, Where is the promise of his comming? for since the fathers died, all things continue alike from the beginning of the creation.
vadiṣyanti prabhōrāgamanasya pratijñā kutra? yataḥ pitr̥lōkānāṁ mahānidrāgamanāt paraṁ sarvvāṇi sr̥ṣṭērārambhakālē yathā tathaivāvatiṣṭhantē|
5 For this they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the water, by the word of God.
pūrvvam īśvarasya vākyēnākāśamaṇḍalaṁ jalād utpannā jalē santiṣṭhamānā ca pr̥thivyavidyataitad anicchukatātastē na jānānti,
6 Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
tatastātkālikasaṁsārō jalēnāplāvitō vināśaṁ gataḥ|
7 But the heauens and earth, which are nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued vnto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of vngodly men.
kintvadhunā varttamānē ākāśabhūmaṇḍalē tēnaiva vākyēna vahnyarthaṁ guptē vicāradinaṁ duṣṭamānavānāṁ vināśañca yāvad rakṣyatē|
8 Dearely beloued, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, as a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres as one day.
hē priyatamāḥ, yūyam ētadēkaṁ vākyam anavagatā mā bhavata yat prabhōḥ sākṣād dinamēkaṁ varṣasahasravad varṣasahasrañca dinaikavat|
9 The Lord of that promise is not slacke (as some men count slackenesse) but is pacient toward vs, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance.
kēcid yathā vilambaṁ manyantē tathā prabhuḥ svapratijñāyāṁ vilambatē tannahi kintu kō'pi yanna vinaśyēt sarvvaṁ ēva manaḥparāvarttanaṁ gacchēyurityabhilaṣan sō 'smān prati dīrghasahiṣṇutāṁ vidadhāti|
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a noyse, and the elements shall melt with heate, and the earth with the workes that are therein, shalbe burnt vp.
kintu kṣapāyāṁ caura iva prabhō rdinam āgamiṣyati tasmin mahāśabdēna gaganamaṇḍalaṁ lōpsyatē mūlavastūni ca tāpēna galiṣyantē pr̥thivī tanmadhyasthitāni karmmāṇi ca dhakṣyantē|
11 Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
ataḥ sarvvairētai rvikārē gantavyē sati yasmin ākāśamaṇḍalaṁ dāhēna vikāriṣyatē mūlavastūni ca tāpēna galiṣyantē
12 Looking for, and hasting vnto the comming of that day of God, by the which the heauens being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements shall melt with heate?
tasyēśvaradinasyāgamanaṁ pratīkṣamāṇairākāṅkṣamāṇaiśca yūṣmābhi rdharmmācārēśvarabhaktibhyāṁ kīdr̥śai rlōkai rbhavitavyaṁ?
13 But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.
tathāpi vayaṁ tasya pratijñānusārēṇa dharmmasya vāsasthānaṁ nūtanam ākāśamaṇḍalaṁ nūtanaṁ bhūmaṇḍalañca pratīkṣāmahē|
14 Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blamelesse.
ataēva hē priyatamāḥ, tāni pratīkṣamāṇā yūyaṁ niṣkalaṅkā aninditāśca bhūtvā yat śāntyāśritāstiṣṭhathaitasmin yatadhvaṁ|
15 And suppose that the long suffering of our Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto him wrote to you,
asmākaṁ prabhō rdīrghasahiṣṇutāñca paritrāṇajanikāṁ manyadhvaṁ| asmākaṁ priyabhrātrē paulāya yat jñānam adāyi tadanusārēṇa sō'pi patrē yuṣmān prati tadēvālikhat|
16 As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of these thinges: among the which some thinges are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other Scriptures vnto their owne destruction.
svakīyasarvvapatrēṣu caitānyadhi prastutya tadēva gadati| tēṣu patrēṣu katipayāni durūhyāṇi vākyāni vidyantē yē ca lōkā ajñānāścañcalāśca tē nijavināśārtham anyaśāstrīyavacanānīva tānyapi vikārayanti|
17 Ye therefore beloued, seeing ye know these thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse.
tasmād hē priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ pūrvvaṁ buddhvā sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata, adhārmmikāṇāṁ bhrāntisrōtasāpahr̥tāḥ svakīyasusthiratvāt mā bhraśyata|
The Great Flood
