2 Peter 3
1 This letter that I am now writing to you whom I love, is the second [letter] that I have written to you. [In both] these letters I have reminded you [about the things you already know, in order that I may] stimulate/cause you to think sincerely [about those things].
U nyattike ukure uni waye ahira ashi aroni am,
2 [I want you] to remember the words that were spoken by the holy prophets {that the holy prophets spoke} long ago, and also to remember what our Lord and Savior commanded, things that we, your apostles, told you about.
akoya mabuka kadure kamu riba mushi me una uringizi. In nyara iringi in nu buka anu alau anu kurzuzo utize, nan nu kuri uboo Asere unu bura ati nyo tana kadura sa wa aye shi.
3 It is important for you to understand that in the time [immediately] before Christ comes back, there will be people who will ridicule [the idea of his coming back. Those people will do whatever] evil things they wish to do.
Innu tuba irusin na gino me uguna umara uganiya anani basa wadi e wa zin ni basa wa zin nu tarsa mei maje a buru.
4 They will say, “[Although it was] promised [that Christ] will come back, ([nothing has happened that would indicate] that he is coming back./[what happened to the promise] that he is coming back?) [RHQ] We say that because ever since the [Christian] leaders [who lived] long ago died [EUP], everything [has remained the same]. Things are as [they always have been] since God created [the world!]”
Wazin nu gussa “Abani u inko abanga uze umeme? Dati uganiya acokoro a cokoro aru wahiri vat timumum ti e zi kasi udatti utuba ubara.
5 [They will say that because] they (deliberately overlook [the fact/have decided to ignore what they know]) that God, by commanding [long ago that it should be so], caused the heavens to exist, and he caused the earth to appear out of water and to be separate from the water.
U gaye uni wa gasime tize tiginoo, uguna dadati utuba utize ta Asere A sesere a cukuno akuri abari adizii a sesere amei, araa ati amei.
6 And God, by [commanding that it should be so], later destroyed the world [that existed] at that time, by causing the earth to be flooded with water {water to flood the earth}.
A ana ani unee uganiya uginome, mei maa tu uni, uwi.
7 Furthermore, [God], commanded that the heavens and the earth [that exist] now remain until the time when [he] will judge (ungodly people/people whose lives are not pleasing to him). And at that time [he] will destroy the heavens and the earth by burning them.
Atize ta Asere tini asesere nan nadizii sa arani aname utini, uhana u wui uginome sa adi weki anu zatu urusa utize ta Asere tize ahuwe.
8 Dear friends, I want you to understand well that the Lord [God is willing to wait a long time to judge the people in the world! How much time passes before] the Lord God [judges the people in the world does not matter to him! He considers] that one day [passes no more quickly than] 1,000 years, and [he also considers] that 1,000 years [pass as quickly as] one day passes [to us]!
A anime shi aroni am katti inyare shi ni guran nitize tiginome uguna ahira Ugomo Asere niye ni indai kasi tiweti nu dubu tini, tiwe tinu dubui kasi niye ni indai nini.
9 [Therefore, you should not think that because Christ has not yet come back to judge people], the Lord God is (delaying/slow to do) what he promised. Some people think that this is so, [and they say that Christ will never come back]. But [you should understand that the reason why Christ has not yet come back to judge people is that] God is being patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be lost [eternally]. Instead, he wants everyone to turn away from their sinful behavior.
Ugomom Asere mada disame innu buka umemeba, gusi sa aye wa zika ubuka udee umeme, uniriba isheu mani ahira a shi, mada nyarame kodavi mawiba, sen ke kovi makabi tize ta Asere.
10 Although [God is being patient, at] the time [MTY] [that he has chosen], the Lord [Jesus Christ] will [certainly] come back [to judge people]. He will come back [unexpectedly], like a thief [SIM] [comes unexpectedly]. At that time there will be a great roaring sound. The heavens will cease to exist. (The elements/The parts [of which the universe consists]) will be destroyed by fire, and the earth [that God made] and everything on it [that people have made] will disappear (OR, will be burned up).
Vat ani me uwui Asere udi e kasi ukari, asesere adi mari unugbejere kang, vat imum igebe sa ira anyimo me wadi ri ura, wa wi, adizi nan imum me sa itari asesere unee, vat wadi hunne me.
11 Because God will certainly destroy all these things like [I just said], you certainly know how you should behave. [RHQ] You should behave (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God])
Ingi vat adadu aginome adi hu ani, aya anu wani izi uguna i cukuno? Wuzani ticukum ti uzatu umadini anu utarsa Asere.
12 while you [eagerly/expectantly] wait for [Christ] to return on the day that God [has chosen] [MTY], and you should try to make that day come soon. Because of what [God] [PRS] [will do on that day], the heavens will be destroyed. (The elements/The parts of which the universe consist) will melt and burn up.
Ibe uwui Asere, i nyargi u aye uni, unu aye uni, adi wu ura asesere wa iri, vat imum igebe sa iraa anyimo awe, uraa udi tinika we.
13 Although [all those events/things will happen, we rejoice because] we are waiting for the new heavens and new earth that [God] has promised. The [only people who will be] in the new heavens and on this new earth will be [people who are] [PRS] righteous.
Barki u'inko utize tu memeti bee asesere aso nan adizi aso ahira sa katuma ka huma kadi wuzi ticukuim tume.
14 Therefore, dear friends, because you are waiting for these things [to happen], do all that you can [live] (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), [in order that Christ] will see that you [are] completely pure [DOU] [and that you are living] peacefully [with each other].
Barki anime, shi andesa ma hem inshi, sa izinu nyarga imum iginome, cukuno nin unurusa kati akemshi in madini, anu zatume imum izenzeng, ana ti cukum timang.
15 And think about this: Our Lord [Jesus Christ is] patient [because he wants] people to be saved. Our dear (brother/fellow believer) Paul also wrote wise words to you [about these same matters], because God enabled him to understand [these] ([events/things that will happen]).
Zikanin usheu Asere aru, ubura uni. Ane ani, uhenu uru me sa ta hem in me Bulus maa nyetike shi ni, usuro urusa umeme sa anya me.
16 In the [letters] that Paul wrote there are certain things that are difficult for people to understand. People [who are spiritually] ignorant and (unstable/do not believe firmly in Christ) interpret these things wrongly, as they also (interpret/explain the meaning of) the other parts of the Scriptures wrongly. The result is that they will destroy themselves [spiritually], and [God] will punish them.
Bulus maa wuzi tize tigino me, kasi sa ma wuzi avat amatakarda sa maa nyetike, tire timumum ti rani sa tizinu gitak urusa, tigebesa anu tame urusa nan andesa wa ciki in me iriba wa gamara abanga me, kasi sa wa gamara mare matagarda sa anyetikeanime wa hunguko ace awe iwono.
17 Therefore, dear friends, [since you already know about those who teach what is false], (guard against them/beware). Do not let those wicked people deceive you by telling you things that are wrong, with the result that you yourselves begin to doubt [what you now firmly believe].
Barkiani me, shi andesa ma hem inshi, sa isa rusa ani me, hiranikati uhunne me ana gbas udusan shi, irizi idiri imum besa sa izini.
18 [Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn g165)
Kinkini ini mum besa Asere awuza shi, unu bura uru Yeso nan urusa umeme. Ninonzo nicukuno ahira ameme aname, nan uhana aje sarki ubinani. Acukuno anime! cukuno anime! (aiōn g165)
