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,
O rañetse, intoy ty taratasiko faharoe nisokirako hampitsekake an-tiahy ty fitsakorean’ arofo’ areo ki’e,
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.
haniahy i saontsy nampisaontsieñe o mpitoky miavakeo taoloy naho i nandilia’ i Talè, toe Mpandrombakey, añamo Firàhe’ areooy.
3 Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days. They will mock and proceed according to their own desires.
Maharendreha hey te hivotrake eo amo andro honka’eo o mpanivetiveo hanivetive, hañorike ty drao-rati’e;
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.”
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 They willfully forget that the heavens and the earth came to exist out of water and through water, long ago, by God's command,
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 and that through these things, the world of that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
ie ty nandrotsahañe ty tane toy tañ’ andro izay, ie niepoepoen-drano.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? You should live holy and godly lives.
Aa kanao hene hiteno, h’ondaty manao akore v’inahareo am-pañaveloañe miavake vaho am-pañambenañe Hake?
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.
ie mitamà naho manaentàeñe i andron’ Añaharey, ama’e ty hamorototoe’ ty afo o likerañeo, vaho fonga hitranak’ ami’ty hamae’e.
13 But according to his promise, we are waiting for the new heavens and the new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
Fe ty amy nampitama’ey, le misalala likeram-bao naho tane vao imoneñan-kavantañañe tika.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you expect these things, do your best to be found spotless and blameless before 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 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.
Itsakoreo te fandrombahañe ty fahaliñisa’ i Talèntikañey, hambañe amy nisokira’ i Paoly rahalahin-tika sarotsey amy hihitse natolots’ azey;
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.
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 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.
Aa kanao fohi’ areo aolo ry rañetse, le mitaoa tsy hikapotrake ty figahiña’areo, hampandridrihe’e ty fandilara’ o tsereheñeo,
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the glory be to him both now and forever. 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)
