2 Peter 3
1 I indeed, beloved, write unto you this second epistle; in which I stir up your pure mind by remembrance:
Ka püi he aw, ahin hin nami veia ka yuk lawa kca anghngihnaka kyaki. Ka yuk lawa kca ani nghngih üng, ahin he ning jah süm besak lü, nami mlung k’uma cungngaihnak ngcim a ve law vai ka hlüeia phäh ka ning jah mthümhletnaka kyaki.
2 to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles:
Ahlana sahma ngcime naw ami pyena ngthue, nami ngsäe üngkhyüh ning jah peta Küikyan Bawi ja Bawipaa a ngthupete cen, nami süm be vai hlüei veng.
3 knowing this first, that at the last days mockers will come forth in scoffing, walking according to their own lusts,
Akcüka nami ksing vai ta, akpäihnak khawmhnüpe üng ta ami mtisa hlüa awmihkie po law acun he. Amimi naw ning jah yaihei u lü,
4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the day when the fathers fell asleep, all things remain as from the beginning of creation.
“Ka law be khai ti lü khyütam am jah pe sü, am law be mä? Hawia ni a ve? Kami pupae pi thi pängki he, cunüngpi khawmdeknu mhnünceng üngkhyüh ami vea mäiha, asihna hin veei ham ve u” tia ngthähnak am ning jah nghngeka na law acun he.
5 For they willingly forget this, that the heavens were in the olden time, and the earth standing out of the water and through the water, by the word of God;
Ahlana Pamhnam naw ngthu pe se, khawmdek ja khankhaw ngtüi lawki tia mawng cun asihlinga hnusung law khaie. Khawmdek cun tui üngkhyüha tui am sehbei lü,
6 by which the world at that time, being flooded with water, perished:
khawmdek kphyüm cun pi tui üngka naw lawkia mlikpitui am mthiha kyaki.
7 but now the heavens and the earth have been kept according to the same word, being reserved for fire in the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
Cunüngpi, atuh vekia khawmdek ja khankhawe ta ngthumkhyahnak khawmhnüp veia ve khaia Pamhnam naw pyenki. Acunüng, khyümhnam kaa vekia khyange ngthu jah mkhyah lü a jah mkhih vaia kcün üng, khankhawe ja khawmdek pi a jah mkhih hnga vaia a jah tak ni.
8 But let not this one thing be forgotten, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Cunüngpi, ka püi he aw, Bawipaa phäh ta khawmhnüp mat ja kum thawng mat hin am hngalang, tängeiki xawi ti cun käh mhnih u bä.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some people count slackness; but is long-suffering for your sakes, not wishing that any should perish, but all come to repentance.
Khyang hea ngaiha kba, Bawipa hin a khyütama khana cücawnki am ni. Acuna nghngün üng, “Khyang matca pi käh cimpye lü, khyang naküt a mkhyenak üngka naw nami ngjutcam be vai a hlüeia phäh” nami khana a mlung msaüki ni.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements being scorched up will be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it will be burnt up.
Cunüngpi, Bawipa Khawmhnüp cun mpyukeia kba pha law khai. Acuna Khawmhnüp üng, khankhaw cun mpyüksea nghmüm lü khyükei khai. Khankhawa veki naküte cun meia däi lü cimpye päih khaie. Khawmdek ja a k’uma veki naküte pi khyükleih päih khaie.
11 Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness,
Anaküt cun ahikba cimpye päih khaie. Nangmi ta ia khyanga ja na kyak kawm? Khankhaw meia däi lü a cimpyenak, khankhawa veki naküt angling am atuia ami ngkhyawnaka Khawmhnüp, Pamhnama Khawmhnüp pha law khai tia äpei lü, acukba thawnhlawk law khaia khana ktha na lü, na xünsak ngcingcaih lü Pamhnam üng na cuapei vai hin nglawi bawki ni.
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements being scorched up are melted?
13 But, according to his promises, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, wherein righteousness dwells.
Cunüngpi, keimi naw ta Pamhnama bekhüt: ngsungpyunnaka venak im, khankhaw kthai ja khawmdek kthai cun kami mtäteikie.
14 Therefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and blameless unto him in peace:
Acunakyase ka püi he aw, acuna Khawmhnüp nami mtätki ania mäiha Pamhnama hmuha ngcingcaih lü mkhyenak käh vekia, ani am nami ngkhawtng’ye vaia ktha na ua.
15 and consider the longsuffering of the Lord's salvation; as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom which was given unto him has written unto you;
Khyang naküt küikyannak ami yah vaia kcünkdaw ning jah pe lü Bawipa naw a mlung a msaü cen käh mhnih ua. Pamhnam naw a peta pumngyam sumei lü kami püi Pawluh naw nami veia kca a yuk law üng ahina mawng ni a pyen.
16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in the same concerning these things; in which there are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unestablished wrest, as they also do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
A yuka kcae naküt üng ahina mawng ni aktunga a yuk. A yuknak üng am ngjakkya vai amsah veki. Am ksingkia khyange ja khyang vawvae naw acune am cutei lü akcea cangcime pi ami hleihleia jah lumlatkie ni. Acun cun amimäta khana cimpyenak cun pha law khai.
17 Then you, beloved, foreknowing watch, lest, having been led away by the delusion of the ungodly, you may fall from your own stedfastness:
Cunüngpi, nangmi ka püi he naw ta nami ksing päng u ni. Thum kaa awmki he khyangea hmanak cen käh läklam lü, üpawmnakia nami venak üngkhyüh käh nami kyukngtäng vaia mceiei ua.
18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of the age. (aiōn g165)
Mi Bawi ja mi Küikyan Bawi Jesuh Khritaw ksingkhyapnak ja bäkhäknak üng angläta dämduh u bä. Hlüngtainak cun ania veia atuh ja angläta ve se! Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
