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;
Thintlo rhoek, nangmih taengah capat a pabae kan daek coeng he. Te rhoi dongah kopoek a caih la thoelhnah neh nangmih kan haeng.
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:
Tonghma cim rhoek lamkah olka neh khangkung Boeipa kah olpaek te nangmih kah caeltueih rhoek loh a thui te poek.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and walking after their own lusts,
Nangmih taengah, “Khohnin hnukkhueng ah tamdaengkung rhoek om ni, amih te hoehhamnah ah hlangrhong la pongpa uh,” a ti uh.
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."
Te vaengah amah a lonah olkhueh tah melam a om?” a ti. Pa rhoek aka ip uh parhi te a cungkuem tah suentae a tongnah lamkah bangla nguel coeng.
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;
He tah amih loh phah a ngaih uh. Vaan tah ana om daengrhae tih tui lamloh diklai ana om ta. Te vaengah tui dong lamloh Pathen kah ol ana tueng ta.
6 by which means the world that then was, being deluged with water, was destroyed.
Diklai tah tui nen te a lii tih a thup uh.
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.
Tedae vaan neh diklai tah ol neh amah la a tung hmai dongkah la om coeng. Baltalh hlang rhoek kah laitloeknah neh pocinah khohnin ham khaw a tuem pah coeng.
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.
Tedae he tah pakhat long khaw nangmih taengah phah boel saeh. Thintlo rhoek aw, khohnin pakhat he Boeipa taengah tah kum thawngkhat bangla, kum thawngkhat khaw hnin at bangla om.
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.
Boeipa loh olkhueh ham a hnong moenih. A ngen loh a hnong bangla a poek uh. Tedae nangmih taengah a thinsen. Pakhat khaw thup ham pawt tih yutnah dongla boeih ael sak a ngaih.
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.
Tedae Boeipa kah khohnin loh hlanghuen bangla ha pawk ni. Te vaengah vaan tah khum khungdaeng ni. A niing khaw ung vetih hmata ni. Diklai neh a khuikah bibi khaw phoe ni.
11 Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
A cungkuem he a hlam tangloeng coeng. A cim omih neh hingcimnah dongah nangmih te metla om nim a kuek?
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?
Pathen kah a khohnin a lonah te lamtawn uh lamtah rhingda uh. Te kongah vaan ke a rhoh vetih a hlak ni. A niing khaw ung vetih tlae ni.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Tedae a olkhueh vanbangla vaan thai neh diklai thai n'lamtawn uh. Te ah ni duengnah loh kho a sak.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
Te dongah thintlo rhoek, hekah he aka lamtawn loh a cuemhmuet neh hmabuet la amah te ngaimongnah neh hmuh ham haam uh lah.
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;
Te dongah mamih boeipa kah thinsennah, khangnah te poek uh. Mamih kah manuca thintlo Paul long khaw a taengah a paek cueihnah tarhingah nangmih ham a daek coeng.
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.
He kawng he amih taengah capat neh boeih a thui van coeng. Te khuiah olkael bet om. Te te lunghmang neh yutho rhoek loh a tloe cacim bangla amah ah a pocinah la a vil uh.
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.
Te dongah nangmih thintlo rhoek tah ming lamtah khoembael uh. Te daengah ni cungpoeh halang rhoek kah tholhhiknah dongah na rhoihbaih uh tih na thincaknah te na hlong uh pawt eh.
The World is Destroyed by Water
