2 Peter 3
1 This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you],
Osiepena mageno, maa koro en barupa mar ariyo ma andikonu. Asendikonugi giduto kargi ariyo mondo aparnu kendo achiew pachu obed moyawore.
2 to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,
Adwaro ni mondo upar weche mane jonabi maler okoro chon kod chik mane omiu koa kuom Ruodhwa kendo Jawarwa kokadho kuom joote magu.
3 this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,
Mokwongo nyaka ungʼe ni e ndalo mogik jomoko machayo ji nobi ka gichayou kendo ka giluwo gombogi maricho.
4 and saying, 'Where is the promise of his presence? for since the fathers did fall asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the 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 for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word 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 through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed;
Kendo pigno nolokore ataro ma Nyasaye nokethego piny machon.
7 and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.
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 And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as 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 regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,
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 and it will come — the day of the Lord — as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be 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 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?
Ka gigi duto ibiro kethi kamano, koro to onego ubed jomachal nadi? Onego udag e ngima maler kendo moluoro Nyasaye,
12 waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt;
ka urito odiechiengʼ mar Nyasaye, kendo ka utemo beru mondo ochop piyo. Odiechiengʼno polo nowangʼ mi nokethe, kendo chwech mag polo noleny kawangʼ.
13 and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell;
Wan to warito gik ma Nyasaye osesingonwa, ma en polo manyien gi piny manyien, kama timbe makare ema noyudre.
14 wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found 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 the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul — according to the wisdom given to him — did write to you,
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 as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto 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 Ye, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, ye may 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 and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him [is] the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen. (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)
