< 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
Ka lungpataw e naw: nangmouh koe hete apâhni e ca hah bout na patawn awh. Kai ni hete ca kahni touh hoi nangmanaw na kâhruetcuet nahanelah nangmae kathounge lungthin hah ka pâhlaw teh a thahmei sak.
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
Hethateh, kathounge profetnaw ni a dei tangcoung e thoseh, gunceinaw koehoi patuen na pang awh e Bawi hoi rungngangkung lah kaawm e kâpoelawknaw thoseh, nangmanaw ni let bouk na pouk awh nahane doeh.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
Ahmaloe poung lah na panue awh hane teh, tami ka dudam e teh a hnukteng e hnin nah dudam nalaihoi tâcawt vaiteh, amae takngai e patetlah a cei awh vaiteh,
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.”
Jisuh tho nahane hnin hoi kâkuen e lawkkamnaw teh nâmaw a o, mintoenaw a due hnin hoiyah a cawngca pueng kamtawng koe e patetlah nahoehmaw pou ao awh heh vaw telah a dei awh han.
5 For 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,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut lawk lahoi kalvannaw teh ayan hoi ka la awm niteh, talai haiyah tui lahoi tui thung hoi a kamnue toe.
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
Hatnavah, talaivan teh tui ni muen a khu teh, tui lahoi a rawk tie teh khoeroe pahnim hanelah a ngai awh.
7 But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Atu kaawm e kalvannaw hoi talai teh hote lawk lahoi yah, hmaisawi hanelah sut hruek lah ao teh, cathutlaipa e taminaw e kamkonae hoi lawkcengnae hnin totouh la rouk e lah ao toe.
8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Hatei, ka lungpataw e naw: Cathut hanelah teh hnin touh heh kum 1,000 touh e patetlah kum 1,000 touh e heh hnin touh e patetlah ao tie hah pahnim awh hanh.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
A hnawng poung telah tami tangawn ni pouk e patetlah Cathut teh a lawkkam dawk hnawng hoeh. Apihai rawk laipalah, tami pueng ni yon pankângai awh nahanlah a ngainae ao dawkvah, maimae lathueng a lungsawnae doeh.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, 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 that are in it will be burned up.
Hateiteh, Bawipa e hnin teh, tamru a tho e patetlah a tho han. Hote hnin toteh kalvannaw teh cairing lahoi a kahma awh han. Talai teh kâan lawi a tui lah dui a lawng han. Talai hoi talai van e hno sak puengpa hai a kak awh han.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Hete hnonaw pueng teh be raphoe lah ao han dawkvah, nangmanaw teh bangpatetlae tami lah maw na o kawi vaw. Nangmouh teh kathoung hringnae hoi cathutlae hringnae dawk khosak awh nateh,
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?
Cathut e hnin hah ngaihawi laihoi, hote hnin phanae hah rang sak hanelah ao. Hot hnin a pha toteh kalvannaw teh ngeng kang vaiteh a kamko han. Talai hai kabet poung e kahû hoi atui lah a kamyawt han.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Hatei, maimouh teh Bawipa amae lawkkam patetlah lannae aonae koe kalvan katha hoi talai katha ngaihawi awh.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Hatdawkvah, ka lungpataw e naw: nangmouh teh hotnaw hah na ngaihawi awh dawkvah, tounhoehe tami, ka khinhoehe tami patetlah Bawipa hmalah roumnae hmu awh nahan kâyawm awh sei.
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,
Maimouh ni lungpataw e Pawl nihai, ahni koevah a poe e lungangnae hoi, nangmouh koe a thut e patetlah maimae Bawipa a lungsawnae hah rungngangnae coe awh nahane doeh telah pouk awh.
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.
Ahni ni alouke canaw dawk hai hete akongnaw hoi kâkuen lah a dei. Hote canaw thung dawkvah, thai panuek han ka ru e youn touh ao. Panuenae kayoun niteh a lung kacakhoehe taminaw teh alouke Ca Kathoungnaw dawk a tawm awh e patetlah hote ca hai amamouh ngainae koe a sawn awh teh, amamouh rawknae koe a pha sak awh.
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.
Hatdawkvah ka lungpataw e naw: nangmouh ni hetnaw teh sut na panue awh toung dawkvah, kadumyennaw e lamthung dawk dawn laipalah, mamae lungcaknae hah pahma awh hoeh nahan mahoima kâkhenyawn awh sei.
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Maimae Bawi hoi rungngangkung Jisuh Khrih lungmanae dawk hai thoseh, Bawipa panuenae dawk hai thoseh, roung awh. Atu hoi a yungyoe e hnin totouh Bawipa koe bawilennae awm lawiseh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
