< Petero II 3 >

1 E NA mea aloha, ke palapala aku nei au i keia palapala lua; ma keia mau mea a'u e hoala nei i ko oukou naau huali ma ka hoomanao ana:
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 I hoomanao oukou i na olelo i oleloia'i mamua, e ka poe kaula hemolele, a me ke kauoha a makou, a na lunaolelo a ka Haku, ka Hoola.
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Master and Saviour:
3 E ike mua oukou i keia; i na la mahope. e hiki mai ana no ka poe hoowahawaha, hilahila ole, a e hele ana no hoi lakou mamuli o ko lakou kuko iho.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 Me ka olelo mai, Auhea ka olelo oiaio no kona hiki ana mai? No ka mea, mai ka wa mai o ka hiamoe ana o na kupuna, ua waiho wale ia no na mea a pau, e like me ka wa i kinohi o ka honua nei.
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 No ka mea, ua hoonaaupo lakou i keia, no ko lakou makemake iho; eia, no ka olelo ana mai o ke Akua, mai ka wa kahiko loa mai na lani, a me ka honua e ku mai ana, mai ka wai mai, a ma ka wai hoi:
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of YHWH the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Ma ia mea no i make ai kela ao mamua, ma ka poipu ana o ka wai.
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 Aka, o ka lani, a me ka honua o keia manawa, ma ia olelo hookahi no, ua hoana e ia no ke ahi, ua malamaia hoi, no ka la hookolokolo a me ka make o na kanaka aia.
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of wicked men.
8 E na pokii, mai hoonaaupo oukou i keia mea hookahi; a, i ka Haku, ua like ka la hookahi, me na makahiki hookahi tausani, a o ke tausani raakahiki hoi, me ka la hookahi.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with YHWH as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Aole e hookaulua ka Haku ma ka mea ana i olelo mai ai, e like me ka kekahi poe i manao mai ai i ka lohi; aka, ua ahonui mai oia ia kakou; aole makemake oia e make kekahi, aka, e hoi mai na kanaka a pau i ka mihi.
YHWH is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 Aka, e hiki mai auanei ka la o ka Haku, me he aihue la i ka po; alaila e lilo no ka lani me ka halulu nui, a e wela hoi na kumu mua, a hehee wale, a e pau no ka honua nei i ke ahi, a me na mea a pau i hanaia maluna iho.
But the day of YHWH will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 A no ka lilo ana o keia mau mea a pau, heaha ke ano pono no oukou e noho hemolele ana, a me ka haipule,
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and reverence,
12 Me ka manao aku, a me ka makemake loa i ka hiki ana mai o ka la o ke Akua, ka manawa e wela'i na lani i ke ahi, a hehee wale, a e kakake mai no hoi na kumu mua i ka wela loa o ke ahi?
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of YHWH, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Aka, e like me ka olelo mua ana mai, ke kakali aku nei kakou i ka lani hou, a me ka honua hou, i kahi e noho ai o ka maikai.
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Nolaila, e na pokii e, no ko oukou manao ana i keia mau mea, e hooikaika oukou, i loaa oukou ia ia me ka maluhia, a me ke kina ole, a me ka hala ole.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 E hoomaopopo hoi, o ke ahonui o ko kakou Haku, o ke ola ia; o like me ka Paulo, ko kakou hoahanau aloha, i palapala mai ai ia oukou, ma ka naauao i haawiia mai nona.
And account that the longsuffering of our Master is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 No ka mea, ma ia mau palapala a pau, ua olelo no ia i keia mau mea; he pohihihi no hoi kekahi mau mea ma ia palapala, ua kapae hoi ka poe hoonaaupo a me ka poe ka kapekepeke, ia olelo e like me ka lakou hana aua i ka olelo hemolele a paut i mea e make ai lakou.
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 No ia mea la, ea, e na pokii, no ko oukou ao mua ia'ku, e ao oukou, o alakai hewa ia'ku oukou, e ka wahahee o ka poe aia, a haule mai ko oukou ku paa ana.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 E hooikaika oukou, i mahuahua ke alohaia mai, a me ko oukou ike ana aku i ko kakou Haku a Hoola hoi ia Iesu Kristo. Ia ia no ka hoonaniia'ku, ano no, a mau loa aku. Amene. (aiōn g165)
But grow in favour, and in the knowledge of our Master and Saviour Yahushua the Messiah. To him be glory both now and for ever. amein. (aiōn g165)
