2 Peter 3
1 This [is] now, beloved, a second letter I write to you, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you]
Ka lungpataw e naw: nangmouh koe hete apâhni e ca hah bout na patawn awh. Kai ni hete ca kahni touh hoi nangmanaw na kâhruetcuet nahanelah nangmae kathounge lungthin hah ka pâhlaw teh a thahmei sak.
2 to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior,
Hethateh, kathounge profetnaw ni a dei tangcoung e thoseh, gunceinaw koehoi patuen na pang awh e Bawi hoi rungngangkung lah kaawm e kâpoelawknaw thoseh, nangmanaw ni let bouk na pouk awh nahane doeh.
3 knowing this first, that there will come scoffers in the last days, going on according to their own desires,
Ahmaloe poung lah na panue awh hane teh, tami ka dudam e teh a hnukteng e hnin nah dudam nalaihoi tâcawt vaiteh, amae takngai e patetlah a cei awh vaiteh,
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation”;
Jisuh tho nahane hnin hoi kâkuen e lawkkamnaw teh nâmaw a o, mintoenaw a due hnin hoiyah a cawngca pueng kamtawng koe e patetlah nahoehmaw pou ao awh heh vaw telah a dei awh han.
5 for this they willingly conceal, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth having been established by the word of God out of water and through water,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut lawk lahoi kalvannaw teh ayan hoi ka la awm niteh, talai haiyah tui lahoi tui thung hoi a kamnue toe.
6 through which the world then, having been flooded by water, was destroyed;
Hatnavah, talaivan teh tui ni muen a khu teh, tui lahoi a rawk tie teh khoeroe pahnim hanelah a ngai awh.
7 and by the same word, the present heavens and earth, having been stored up for fire, are being preserved until [the] day of judgment and destruction of impious men.
Atu kaawm e kalvannaw hoi talai teh hote lawk lahoi yah, hmaisawi hanelah sut hruek lah ao teh, cathutlaipa e taminaw e kamkonae hoi lawkcengnae hnin totouh la rouk e lah ao toe.
8 And do not let this one thing be concealed from you, beloved, that one day with the LORD [is] as one thousand years and one thousand years as one day;
Hatei, ka lungpataw e naw: Cathut hanelah teh hnin touh heh kum 1,000 touh e patetlah kum 1,000 touh e heh hnin touh e patetlah ao tie hah pahnim awh hanh.
9 the LORD is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not intending any to be lost, but all to come to conversion,
A hnawng poung telah tami tangawn ni pouk e patetlah Cathut teh a lawkkam dawk hnawng hoeh. Apihai rawk laipalah, tami pueng ni yon pankângai awh nahanlah a ngainae ao dawkvah, maimae lathueng a lungsawnae doeh.
10 and it will come—the Day of the LORD—as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements will be dissolved with burning heat, and [the] earth and the works in it will not be found.
Hateiteh, Bawipa e hnin teh, tamru a tho e patetlah a tho han. Hote hnin toteh kalvannaw teh cairing lahoi a kahma awh han. Talai teh kâan lawi a tui lah dui a lawng han. Talai hoi talai van e hno sak puengpa hai a kak awh han.
11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be in holy behaviors and pious acts,
Hete hnonaw pueng teh be raphoe lah ao han dawkvah, nangmanaw teh bangpatetlae tami lah maw na o kawi vaw. Nangmouh teh kathoung hringnae hoi cathutlae hringnae dawk khosak awh nateh,
12 waiting for and hurrying the coming of the Day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with burning heat?
Cathut e hnin hah ngaihawi laihoi, hote hnin phanae hah rang sak hanelah ao. Hot hnin a pha toteh kalvannaw teh ngeng kang vaiteh a kamko han. Talai hai kabet poung e kahû hoi atui lah a kamyawt han.
13 And we wait for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness dwells;
Hatei, maimouh teh Bawipa amae lawkkam patetlah lannae aonae koe kalvan katha hoi talai katha ngaihawi awh.
14 for this reason, beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, to be found by Him in peace,
Hatdawkvah, ka lungpataw e naw: nangmouh teh hotnaw hah na ngaihawi awh dawkvah, tounhoehe tami, ka khinhoehe tami patetlah Bawipa hmalah roumnae hmu awh nahan kâyawm awh sei.
15 and count the long-suffering of our Lord [as] salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul—according to the wisdom given to him—wrote to you,
Maimouh ni lungpataw e Pawl nihai, ahni koevah a poe e lungangnae hoi, nangmouh koe a thut e patetlah maimae Bawipa a lungsawnae hah rungngangnae coe awh nahane doeh telah pouk awh.
16 as also in all the letters, speaking in them concerning these things, among which are some things [that are] hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable twist, as also the other Writings, to their own destruction.
Ahni ni alouke canaw dawk hai hete akongnaw hoi kâkuen lah a dei. Hote canaw thung dawkvah, thai panuek han ka ru e youn touh ao. Panuenae kayoun niteh a lung kacakhoehe taminaw teh alouke Ca Kathoungnaw dawk a tawm awh e patetlah hote ca hai amamouh ngainae koe a sawn awh teh, amamouh rawknae koe a pha sak awh.
17 You, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, you may fall from your own steadfastness,
Hatdawkvah ka lungpataw e naw: nangmouh ni hetnaw teh sut na panue awh toung dawkvah, kadumyennaw e lamthung dawk dawn laipalah, mamae lungcaknae hah pahma awh hoeh nahan mahoima kâkhenyawn awh sei.
18 and increase in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; to Him [is] the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Maimae Bawi hoi rungngangkung Jisuh Khrih lungmanae dawk hai thoseh, Bawipa panuenae dawk hai thoseh, roung awh. Atu hoi a yungyoe e hnin totouh Bawipa koe bawilennae awm lawiseh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
