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],

Lo ke lokwalo lwa me lwa bobedi, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, mme mo go tsone tsoopedi ke lekile go lo gakolola, fa lo ntetla kaga boammaaruri jo lo setseng lo bo itse:

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,

boammaaruri jo lo bo ithutileng mo baporofiting ba ba boitshepo le mo go rona Baaposetoloi ba re lo tliseditseng mafoko a Morena le Mmoloki wa rona.

3 this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,

Sa ntlha, ke batla go lo gakolola gore mo malatsing a bofelo, go tlaa tla basotli ba ba tlaa dirang bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo akanyang, mme ba sotla boammaaruri.

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;'

Se e tlaa nna tsela ya bone ya kganetsanyo: “Kana Keresete o solofeditse go tla gape, a mme o tsile? Jaanong o kae? Ga a kitla a tla! Ka ntlha ya eng, fela jaaka mongwe le mongwe a ka gakologelwa, sengwe le sengwe se ntse fela jaaka mo letsatsing la ntlha la lobopo.”

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,

Ba itebatsa ka bomo boammaaruri jo: Gore Modimo o ne wa senya lefatshe ka morwalela o o boitshegang bogologolo o sena go dira magodimo ka lefoko la taolo ya One, mme wa dirisa metse go dira lefatshe le go le dikaganyetsa.

6 through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed;

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.

Mme Modimo o ne wa laola lefatshe le magodimo go bolokelwa molelo ka letsatsi la katlholo, fa botlhe ba ba senang boModimo ba tlaa nyelediwa.

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;

Mme se lebaleng se, ditsala tse di rategang, gore letsatsi kgotsa dingwaga tse di sekete go simologa gompieno mo Moreneng di tshwana fela le ka moso.

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,

Tota ga o bonya kaga tsholofetso ya One ya go bowa, ntswa ka nako tse dingwe go tle go bonale go ntse jalo. Mme o letile, ka mabaka a a utlwalang gore ga o batle ope a nyelela, mme o naya baleofi lobaka lwa go ikwatlhaya.

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.

Ruri letsatsi la Morena le e tla, le tla jaaka legodu, mme magodimo a tlaa feta ka modumo o mogolo le mebele ya selegodimo e tlaa nyelela mo molelong, mme lefatshe le sengwe le sengwe se se mo go lone se tlaa tshujwa ka molelo.

11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?

Mme jalo ere ka sengwe le sengwe se se re dikaganyeditseng se tlaa nyerologa, re tshwanetse ra bo re tshela botshelo jo bo boitshepo jo bo nang le boModimo jo bo ntseng jang? Re tlaa tshwanelwa ke go tshela botshelo jo bo boitshepo jwa Bo-Modimo.

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;

Lo tshwanetse go lebelela letsatsi leo lwa ba lwa le ipaakanyetsa, letsatsi le Modimo o tlaa tshubang magodimo ka molelo, mme mebele ya selegodimo e tlaa nyerologa e nyelela mo dikgabong.

13 and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell;

Mme re lebeletse tsholofetso ya Modimo ya magodimo a masha le lefatshe le lesha morago ga lobaka, kwa go tlaa bong go le tshiamo fela.

14 wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,

Ditsala tse di rategang, e re fa lo ntse lo lebeletse dilo tse go diragala le go tla ga gagwe, lekang thata go tshela lo sa leofe; lo bo lo nne kagiso mo go mongwe le mongwe gore a tle a lo itumelele motlhang a bowang.

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,

Mme gakologelwang gore ke eng fa a diegile go tla. O re naya nako ya gore re tseye molaetsa wa gagwe wa poloko re o ise kwa go ba bangwe.

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.

Mokaulengwe yo o botlhale yo o rategang Paulo o buile ka dilo tse mo dikwalong tse dintsi tsa gagwe. Dikakgelo dingwe tsa gagwe ga di motlhofo go tlhaloganngwa, mme go na le batho ba ba dieleele ka bomo, ba ba agang ba batla dithanolo, ditlhaloso tse di sa tlwaelesegang, ba pitikolotse dikwalo tsa gagwe gore di reye sengwe se se pharologanyo thata le se a neng a se raya, fela jaaka ba dira mo dintlheng tse dingwe tsa dikwalo tse di boitshepo mme phelelo ya bone ke tshenyego.

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,

Ke lo tlhagisa pele ga nako, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, gore lo tle lo itlhokomele lo se ka lwa tsewa ke diphoso tsa batho ba ba bosula ba, e se re kgotsa lwa etsaetsega lwa tlhakana nabo.

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)

Mme golang mo nonofong ya semowa lo itsanye sentle le Morena le Mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete. A mo go ene go nne kgalalelo yotlhe le boitumelo jwa tlotlo, go tloga fano le ka bosakhutleng. Salang sentle. Ke nna, Petere. (aiōn g165)
