2 Peter 3
1 This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,
Adɔfonom, eyi ne krataa a ɛto so abien a makyerɛw abrɛ mo. Mekyerɛw sɛ mede rebɛkae mo, de akanyan mo adwene.
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.
Mepɛ sɛ mokae nsɛm a adiyifo akronkron no kaa no mmere bi a atwam no ne mmara a efi Awurade ne Agyenkwa a wɔde faa mo asomafo so maa mo no.
3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,
Nea edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ mote ase sɛ nna a edi akyiri no mu no, nnipa bi bɛba a wɔn ara wɔn honam akɔnnɔ na ebedi wɔn so. Wobedi mo ho fɛw
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.
aka se, “Ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ se ɔbɛba. Wanka? Na ɔwɔ he? Yɛn agyanom awuwu dedaw, nanso biribiara te sɛ nea ɛte fi adebɔ mfiase!”
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.
Wɔhyɛ da ma wɔn werɛ fi nokware no sɛ, efi tete na Onyankopɔn kasa maa ɔsoro bae, na wofi nsu mu de nsu yɛɛ asase.
6 Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
Akyiri no wɔde nsuyiri bɛsɛee saa bere wiase no.
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.
Nanso Onyankopɔn ahyɛ sɛ ɔsoro ne asase ntena hɔ nkosi atemmuda. Afei wɔbɛsɔ ogya wɔ mu de asɛe nnebɔneyɛfo.
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.
Nanso anuanom, mommma mo werɛ mfi ade baako sɛ Awurade ani so de, nsonoe nni da koro ne mfe apem ntam. Ne fam de, abien no nyinaa yɛ pɛ.
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.
Awurade ntwentwɛn ne nan ase wɔ ne bɔ a wahyɛ ho sɛnea ebinom susuw no. Mmom ɔwɔ mo ho ntoboase, efisɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ wɔbɛsɛe obiara, na mmom ɔpɛ sɛ obiara sakra fi ne bɔne ho.
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.
Na Awurade da no bɛba sɛ ɔkorɔmfo. Da no, ɔsoro bɛbobɔ mu na ayera na wim nneɛma bɛhyew na asɛe na asase ne so nneɛma nyinaa nso bɛda adi.
11 Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
Na sɛ saa ɔkwan yi so na wɔbɛfa asɛe ade nyinaa a, na ɔbra bɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ? Ɛsɛ sɛ mo bra yɛ kronkron na mode mo ho ma Onyankopɔn.
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?
Monhwɛ saa da no kwan na monyɛ mo nneɛma pɛpɛɛpɛ; da a Onyankopɔn bɛto ɔsoro mu gya na wim nneɛma anan na ayera wɔ ogyaframa mu no.
13 But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.
Nanso yɛtwɛn nea Onyankopɔn ahyɛ yɛn ho bɔ no, ɔsoro foforo ne asase foforo a ɛhɔ na trenee bɛtena.
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.
Enti anuanom, mugu so retwɛn da no, mommɔ mmɔden sɛ mobɛyɛ kronkron a mfomso biara nni mo ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim na mo ne no atena wɔ asomdwoe mu.
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,
Monkae nhu sɛ Awurade wɔ ntoboase efisɛ ɔpɛ sɛ obiara nya nkwagye. Ɛno na yɛn nua Paulo nam nyansa a Onyankopɔn de maa no no so kyerɛw mo no.
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.
Saa ɔkwan koro no ara so na ɔfa kyerɛw ne nkrataa no na saa nsɛm yi ara so nso na ogyina kyerɛwee. Wɔn a wonnim na wɔnnyɛ den no ntumi nkyerɛ nsɛm bi a ɛyɛ den wɔ ne nkrataa no mu no ase yiye. Saa ara na wɔyɛ Kyerɛwsɛm nkae no de ɔsɛe ba wɔn so no.
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.
Nanso anuanom, esiane sɛ wɔadi kan abɔ mo kɔkɔ no nti, monwɛn na wɔn a wonni mmara so no mfomso no antwe mo amfi mo tebea pa hɔ.
