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]
O rañetse, intoy ty taratasiko faharoe nisokirako hampitsekake an-tiahy ty fitsakorean’ arofo’ areo ki’e,
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,
haniahy i saontsy nampisaontsieñe o mpitoky miavakeo taoloy naho i nandilia’ i Talè, toe Mpandrombakey, añamo Firàhe’ areooy.
3 knowing this first, that there will come scoffers in the last days, going on according to their own desires,
Maharendreha hey te hivotrake eo amo andro honka’eo o mpanivetiveo hanivetive, hañorike ty drao-rati’e;
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”;
hanao ty hoe: Aia ze o fampitamañe i fitotsaha’e zao? fa sikal’ ami’ty nirotan-droae’ay le kila mitoloñe ami’ty fanoe’e hirik’ami’ty fifotora’ ty voatse toy.
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,
Ie ifahara’e, le amoea’e te nampiboak’ o likerañeo haehae i tsaran’ Añaharey, naho boak’ an-drano vaho añivo rano ty nañoreñañe ty tane toy;
6 through which the world then, having been flooded by water, was destroyed;
ie ty nandrotsahañe ty tane toy tañ’ andro izay, ie niepoepoen-drano.
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.
Le ty amy tsaray, mihaja ho ami’ty afo o likerañeo naho ty tane toy henaneo, ho amy androm-pizakañe naho fandrotsahañe ondaty lo-tserekeoy.
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;
O rañetse, ko amoea’ areo itoy, te hoe arivo taoñe ty andro raike amy Talè, le hoe andro raike ty arivo taoñe.
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,
Tsy malaoñe amy nampitamae’ey t’i Talè, ami’ty fanoe’ ty ila’e ty hoe malaoñe; f’ie mahaliñe an-tika, tsy satri’e te ndra iaia ty ho momoke, fa te songa hisoloho.
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.
Ho tondroke hoe mpikizo an-kaleñe ty andro’ i Talè, ie hihelañe añe o likerañeo am-pitraontraoñañe, le kila ho tomontoe’ ty hamae vaho ho forototoe’ ty afo ty tane toy naho o fitoloña’eo.
11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be in holy behaviors and pious acts,
Aa kanao hene hiteno, h’ondaty manao akore v’inahareo am-pañaveloañe miavake vaho am-pañambenañe Hake?
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?
ie mitamà naho manaentàeñe i andron’ Añaharey, ama’e ty hamorototoe’ ty afo o likerañeo, vaho fonga hitranak’ ami’ty hamae’e.
13 And we wait for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness dwells;
Fe ty amy nampitama’ey, le misalala likeram-bao naho tane vao imoneñan-kavantañañe tika.
14 for this reason, beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, to be found by Him in peace,
Ie amy zao ry rañetse, kanao liñisañe, imaneo ty hahavazohoa’e anahareo an-kazavan-troke tsy aman-kandra tsy aman-kakeo.
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,
Itsakoreo te fandrombahañe ty fahaliñisa’ i Talèntikañey, hambañe amy nisokira’ i Paoly rahalahin-tika sarotsey amy hihitse natolots’ azey;
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.
ie mitaroñe i entañe zay amo hene taratasi’eo. Toe ao ty tsy mora rendreke ie vandibandire’ o bàdo naho mañali-foo, hambañe ami’ty fanoa’ iareo o sokitse masiñe ila’eo, himomoha’ iareo.
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,
Aa kanao fohi’ areo aolo ry rañetse, le mitaoa tsy hikapotrake ty figahiña’areo, hampandridrihe’e ty fandilara’ o tsereheñeo,
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)
F’ie mitomboa ami’ty hasoa naho ami’ty faharendrehañe i Talèntika Iesoà Mpandrombake Norizañey. Ama’e ty engeñe henaneo naho pak’ an-tsa tsy modo! Amena. (aiōn g165)
The Great Flood
