2 Peter 3
1 This letter which I am now writing to you, dear friends, is my second letter. In both my letters I seek to revive in your honest minds the memory of certain things,
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 may recall the words spoken long ago by the holy Prophets, and the commandments of our Lord and Saviour given you 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 But, above all, remember that, in the last days, men will come who make a mock at everything--men governed only by their own passions,
Mokwongo nyaka ungʼe ni e ndalo mogik jomoko machayo ji nobi ka gichayou kendo ka giluwo gombogi maricho.
4 and, asking, "What has become of His promised Return? For from the time our forefathers fell asleep all things continue as they have been ever since the creation of the world."
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 For they are wilfully blind to the fact that there were heavens which existed of old, and an earth, the latter arising out of water and extending continuously through water, by the command of God;
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, by means of these, the then existing race of men was overwhelmed with water and perished.
Kendo pigno nolokore ataro ma Nyasaye nokethego piny machon.
7 But the present heavens and the present earth are, by the command of the same God, kept stored up, reserved for fire in preparation for a day of judgement and of destruction for the ungodly.
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 But there is one thing, dear friends, which you must not forget. With the Lord one day resembles a thousand years and a thousand years resemble 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 is not slow in fulfilling His promise, in the sense in which some men speak of slowness. But He bears patiently with you, His desire being that no one should perish but that all should come to 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 The day of the Lord will come like a thief--it will be a day on which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, the elements be destroyed in the fierce heat, and the earth and all the works of man be utterly burnt up.
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 are thus pre-destined to dissolution, what sort of men ought you to be found to be in all holy living and godly conduct,
Ka gigi duto ibiro kethi kamano, koro to onego ubed jomachal nadi? Onego udag e ngima maler kendo moluoro Nyasaye,
12 eagerly looking forward to the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens, all ablaze, will be destroyed, and the elements will melt in the fierce 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 in accordance with His promise we are expecting new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will dwell.
Wan to warito gik ma Nyasaye osesingonwa, ma en polo manyien gi piny manyien, kama timbe makare ema noyudre.
14 Therefore, dear friends, since you have these expectations, earnestly seek to be found in His presence, free from blemish or reproach, 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 And always regard the patient forbearance of our Lord as salvation, as our dear brother Paul also has written to you in virtue of the wisdom granted 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 That is what he says in all his letters, when speaking in them of these things. In those letters there are some statements hard to understand, which ill-taught and unprincipled people pervert, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.
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 You, therefore, dear friends, having been warned beforehand, must continually be on your guard so as not to be led astray by the false teaching of immoral men nor fall from your own stedfastness.
Emomiyo, osiepena mageno, kaka koro usengʼeyo wachni, ritreuru mondo kik ywau gi kethruok mag jomaricho mi ulwar ua kama ber muchungʼie.
18 But be always growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be all glory, both now and to the day of Eternity! (aiōn g165)
To dhiuru nyime kudongo e ngʼwono kod ngʼeyo ma un-go kuom Ruodhwa kendo Jawarwa Yesu Kristo. En ema oyud duongʼ tinende kendo nyaka chiengʼ! Amin. (aiōn g165)
