2 Peter 3
1 This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
ziza me hhan vuvue ni yi wu be suhmu i wayi a hi hhan vuvumu u hari me soh ti yi kade chu yi ni immere u njaaji du yi ka de che yi ni immere u njaaji
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles:
du yi tika illan tere annabawa tsratsra wa bs hla ni bau ni mummla ni kpakyeme irji bu ni wa kpeta chuwo ni tu mazanibua
3 knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and walking after their own lusts,
be itoh ni mummla mba hla de bi zah di mba ye ni toh u kaikle mba ta zayi nda kakpi u sonkpa mba yo koshi shi mba
4 and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
mba tere kwmaye ma ahe tse wa mba tere a ni kwmye? ni toh wa mba tibu be sisemu mba qhu ikpiomba he wawu na u mummla na wa mbati mba
5 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
ni nayeh mba tere mba kparisu de shulu ni meme mba na he ni mima tu ni sisemu ni kpa kyeme u irji
6 by which means the world that then was, being deluged with water, was destroyed.
ni toh khima ikpi be gbugblu mba kaba su ni gbugbu ima u tsufana
7 But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
ni meme u ziz a ti mba zi si gbi ilu ni kpakyeme khi ma mba ti baki ni gbe ivi u bla tre ni ni kasu ni be wa bana hhu iko na
8 But do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
na kparisu wayi na be sonmu ivi iri ni trji a he na ise dubd ni irji isei dubu a he na ivi riri mba he naki
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
irji na kaci ni yo nyun ma na wa beri mba mba ya kaci ni tu kima ani vu sonro ni yi ana sondu ko riri bi du kasuna ani yi toh du yiye kpa ti njaaji.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works on it will not be found.
na ki ivi u ye irji ani ye na idi u yibi ishulu ni kasu ni gudjur u gbagba ilu ni gon ikpi u gbugblu wa mba he ni mima mba djur ni rah
11 Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
tu de ikpi beyi mba kasu na ki bebe idi mba ki a mla de khi he naki? amka de khi sonson u tsara tsran hwu.
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
son ni yo isorobi de irji a ni ye gbagbla ni vikima mba kaa shulussu ni ilu naki koge ni koge i shan ni huu lu u varvara me
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
naki ni tu yo nyuma khi gbi shulu isama ni gbublu isama wa didimani he ni mima
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
nakima be sonmu tude be yo sonro ni kpi beyi be ti ni gbegble be du mba na toye ni tsi chudu ni dhi na ko ni kpi meme ma na ni koshshi mai du mba toyi ni mi si sonro
15 Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;
na ki be ka vu sonro irji a he u kpachu yi na wa Bulus isironro vayi bu a hanatawu ni toh ma wa mba noa
16 as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Bulus a tere ni tu kpi beki wawu wa mba he ni mi han vuvumaa ni muma ikpi bari mba he ni ya toh be wa mba na toh kpi ana ni idi be wa mbana son kpieme na ba kwma tere siran na ki nda guru bsri yo niko mba du mbawuu kpamba.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
na ki be sonmu be rigga de toh ikpi be yiyei be ka ya kpabi na duba guru yi na ni guru u idi be wa mbana huu dika hre de na toh kpakyeme ini mi bi na
The Great Flood
