2 Peter 3
1 This second letter, beloved, I now write to you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎪᏪᎵ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎢᏨᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᏕᏨᏰᏍᏓᏁ ᎤᏠᎾᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏯᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
2 That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᎤᏂᏃᎮᏛ ᎨᏥᎸᏉᏗ ᎠᎾᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᏦᎦᏕᏲᏅᎯ ᎣᎩᏅᏏᏛ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᎴ ᏗᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ.
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎢᏣᏅᏖᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᏅᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᎷᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏂᏐᏢᎢᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᎾᏚᎸᏅᎥᏍᎬ ᎠᏂᏍᏓᏩᏕᎩ,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠ ᎢᏯᏂᏪᏍᎩ, ᎦᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᎤᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎢ? ᎠᏂᎦᏴᎵᎨᏰᏃ ᎬᏩᏂᎵᏅᏨᎯ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᎴᏅᏛ, ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏉ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏥᏄᏍᏛᏉ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲ ᎤᏬᏢᏅᏅ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏅᏛ.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᎾᏚᎸᏛ ᎾᏂᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏁᏨ ᏅᏧᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅ ᎦᎸᎶ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏎᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎠᎹᏱ ᎦᏚ ᏧᎦᏚᏕᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏭᎯ ᏥᎦᏙᎨᎢ;
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎾᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏎ ᎠᎹᏱᎭ ᏥᏄᎵᏍᏔᏁᎢ, ᎤᏲᏤᎢ.
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved to fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎪᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᎤᏁᏨ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᏓᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ, ᎠᏥᎸᏱ ᏭᎾᎵᏰᎢᎶᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏓᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᎬᏂ ᏗᎫᎪᏙᏗᏱ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎨᏥᏛᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᏚᎾᏁᎶᏛᎾ.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏑᏓᎴᎩ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏂᏥᎦᏔᎲᎾᏉ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏌᏉ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏙᏗᎧᏂᏍᎬ ᏌᏉ ᎢᏯᎦᏴᎵ ᎢᏧᏕᏘᏴᏛ ᎤᏠᏱ, ᏌᏉᏃ ᎢᏯᎦᏴᎵ ᎢᏧᏕᏘᏴᏛ ᏌᏉ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏠᏱ.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏍᎦᏃᎵᏳ ᏱᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅ ᎢᏳᏛᏁᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎦᏃᎳ ᏣᏁᎵᎭ, ᎬᏂᏗᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎩᎦᏘᏴᎢ, ᏄᏚᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗᏱ, ᏂᎦᏗᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏂᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏓᏅᏛᎢ.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᎦ ᎠᏎ ᏓᎦᎷᏥ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᏃᏍᎩᏍᎩ ᏒᏃᏱ ᏥᎦᎷᎪᎢ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᏓᎦᎶᏐᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏃᏴᎨᏍᏗ, ᎪᏢᏔᏅᎯᏃ ᎠᏓᏪᎵᎩᏍᎬ ᏛᎪᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎾᎿᎭᏃ ᎪᏢᏅᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎪᎲᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎤᏗᏒᎲᏍᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᏂᎦᎥ ᏂᏥᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᏱᎩ ᎢᏣᎴᏂᏙᎲᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ!
12 Looking for and hastening to the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
ᏱᏥᎦᏖᏃᎭ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏱᏣᏚᎵᎭ ᎤᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᎦ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎦᎸᎶ ᎤᏥᏍᏢ ᏨᏛᏗᏒᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᏢᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏓᏪᎵᎩᏍᎬ ᏛᏗᏌᏂ.
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅ ᎢᏗᎦᏖᏃᎭ ᎢᏤ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎢᏤ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎾᎿᎭᎡᎲ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ.
14 Why, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏥᏥᎦᏖᏃᎭ, ᎢᏣᏟᏂᎬᏏ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛ ᎢᏨᏓᏅᏛ ᎢᏥᏩᏛᏗᏱ ᏄᏓᏓᎸᎾ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏁᏤᎵᏎᎲᎾ.
15 And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given to him has written to you;
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎬᏂᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵᎦ ᎠᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᏎᏍᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎡᏗᎨᏳᎢ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᏉᎳ ᎬᏗᏍᎬ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏥᏁᎸ ᏥᏦᏪᎳᏁᎸ;
16 As also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏬᏪᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏕᎬᏁᎰ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ; ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏓᏑᏯ ᎢᎦᏛ ᎠᏍᏓᏱᏳ ᎪᎵᏍᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏂᏭᎾᏕᎶᏆᎥᎾ ᎠᎴ ᏗᏂᏩᎾᎦᎳ ᏓᏂᏁᏟᏴᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᏐᎢ ᎪᏪᎵ ᏂᏓᏅᏁᎲᎢ, ᎤᏅᏒᏉ ᎤᏂᏛᏗᏍᎩ ᎨᏒᎢ.
17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᏥᏥᎦᏔᎭ, ᎢᏤᏯᏔᎮᏍᏗ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎠᏂᎾᎦᎾ ᎤᏂᎵᏓᏍᏔᏅ ᏕᏣᏘᏂᏒ ᏗᏥᏅᏨᎩ ᏗᏥᏲᏒᎩ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᏂᏣᏛᏅᎢ.
