2 Peter 3
1 Beloved, this is now the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them they are reminders to stir up your sincere mind,
Osiepena mageno, maa koro en barupa mar ariyo ma andikonu. Asendikonugi giduto kargi ariyo mondo aparnu kendo achiew pachu obed moyawore.
2 so that you will recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
Adwaro ni mondo upar weche mane jonabi maler okoro chon kod chik mane omiu koa kuom Ruodhwa kendo Jawarwa kokadho kuom joote magu.
3 Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days. They will mock and proceed according to their own desires.
Mokwongo nyaka ungʼe ni e ndalo mogik jomoko machayo ji nobi ka gichayou kendo ka giluwo gombogi maricho.
4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his return? From when our fathers fell asleep, all things have stayed the same, since the beginning of creation.”
Ka gipenjou niya “Ruodhu mane osingore ni onego bed ni duogono to ere? Donge nyaka ne kwerewa tho gik moko osebedo mana machalre nyaka aa chakruok chwech piny!”
5 They willfully forget that the heavens and the earth came to exist out of water and through water, long ago, by God's command,
To jogi wigi wil mar oyiem ni chon gi lala wach Nyasaye nomiyo polo obedo kendo piny ne ochwe koa kuom pi kendo pi ema nochweyego.
6 and that through these things, the world of that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
Kendo pigno nolokore ataro ma Nyasaye nokethego piny machon.
7 But now the heavens and the earth are reserved for fire by that same command. They are reserved for the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
Kuom wach nogo ema omiyo polo gi piny masani okan ni mach. Okan-gi nyaka chop odiechiengʼno ma joma ochayo Nyasaye nongʼadnigi bura mi notiekgi chuth.
8 It should not escape your notice, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
To wiu kik wil gi gimoro achielni osiepena mageno: Ni kuom Ruoth odiechiengʼ achiel chalre gi higni alufu achiel, kendo higni alufu achiel chalre gi odiechiengʼ achiel.
9 The Lord does not move slowly concerning his promises, as some consider slowness to be. Instead, he is patient toward you. He does not desire for any of you to perish, but for everyone to make room for repentance.
Ruoth ok odeko kuom chopo singruokne, kaka jomoko paro. Un ema oweyonu thuolo mondo ulokru, nikech ohore mos ka odwaro ni kik ngʼato lal kata achiel, to odwaro mondo ji duto olokre owe richogi.
10 However, the day of the Lord will come as a thief: The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The elements will be burned with fire, and the earth and the deeds in it will be revealed.
To odiechieng Ruoth nobi apoya mana kaka jakuo. Polo noleny nono ka mor matek kendo gik mochwe manie kor polo nowangʼ mi keth chuth, to piny gi gik moko duto manie iye nolal nono.
11 Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? You should live holy and godly lives.
Ka gigi duto ibiro kethi kamano, koro to onego ubed jomachal nadi? Onego udag e ngima maler kendo moluoro Nyasaye,
12 You should expect and hasten the coming of the day of God. On that day, the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will be melted in great heat.
ka urito odiechiengʼ mar Nyasaye, kendo ka utemo beru mondo ochop piyo. Odiechiengʼno polo nowangʼ mi nokethe, kendo chwech mag polo noleny kawangʼ.
13 But according to his promise, we are waiting for the new heavens and the new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
Wan to warito gik ma Nyasaye osesingonwa, ma en polo manyien gi piny manyien, kama timbe makare ema noyudre.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you expect these things, do your best to be found spotless and blameless before him, in peace.
Emomiyo, osiepena mageno, ka pod urito odiechiengʼno to temuru matek kaka unyalo mondo ubed jomaler maonge ketho e nyim Nyasaye, kendo beduru gi kwe kode.
15 Also, consider the patience of our Lord to be salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom that was given to him.
Beduru kungʼeyo ni deko mar Ruodhwa oweyo mana thuolo mar yudo warruok, mana kaka Paulo owadwa mwageno bende osendikonu gi rieko mane Nyasaye omiye.
16 Paul speaks of these things in all his letters, in which there are things that are difficult to understand. Ignorant and unstable men distort these things, as they also do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
Barupenego duto ondiko machalre, kowuoyo kuom wechegi. Barupene otingʼo weche moko ma tiendgi tek ma joma kia kaachiel gi jo-hubagabaga gwenyo, mana kaka gigwenyo Ndiko mamoko bende, to timgino biro kelonegi chandruok.
17 Therefore, beloved, since you know about these things beforehand, guard yourselves so that you are not led astray by the deceit of lawless people and you lose your own faithfulness.
Emomiyo, osiepena mageno, kaka koro usengʼeyo wachni, ritreuru mondo kik ywau gi kethruok mag jomaricho mi ulwar ua kama ber muchungʼie.
