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:
Beloved, this is now the second letter that I am writing to you. In both of them I have tried to stir up your sincere mind by way of reminder,
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.
so that you remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commandment of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
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.
First of all, you must understand that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to 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.
They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has since the beginning of 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:
They deliberately overlook the fact that by the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth emerged through the water and was separated from the water.
6 Ma ia mea no i make ai kela ao mamua, ma ka poipu ana o ka wai.
And by the water and the word, the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
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.
Furthermore, by his word the heavens and the earth that now exist have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly.
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 do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like 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.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing 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 the Lord will come like a thief in the night. On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will 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,
Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed, what sort of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness,
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?
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God. On that day the heavens will be set on fire and destroyed, and the elements will melt in the intense 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.
But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
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.
Therefore, beloved, as you wait for these things, be diligent to be found at peace, spotless and blameless in his sight.
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 count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.
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.
He speaks about these things in all his letters. Some of the things he says are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people twist to their own destruction, just as they do with the other Scriptures.
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.
Therefore, beloved, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you will not be led astray by the error of these lawless men and fall from your own secure position.
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 the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
