< 2 Pita 3 >
1 Ndị enyi m, nke a bụ akwụkwọ nke abụọ m na-edetara unu. Nʼime ha abụọ, ihe m mere bụ ichetara unu ihe ndị ahụ niile unu maara na itute uche unu banyere echiche zuruoke.
This now, beloved, [is the] second to you I am writing letter, in which I am stirring up of you in putting [you] in remembrance pure mind
2 Achọrọ m ka unu cheta okwu ndị amụma dị nsọ kwuru mgbe ochie na iwu nke Onyenwe anyị na Onye nzọpụta anyị nyere site na ndị ozi ya.
remembering the spoken beforehand declarations — by the holy prophets and of the apostles (of you *N(K)O*) commandment of the Lord and Savior;
3 Na mbụ, unu ga-amata nke a, na nʼoge ikpeazụ, ndị na-akwa emo ga-apụta, site nʼịkwa emo gbaso agụ ihe ọjọọ niile nke anụ ahụ ha chọrọ
this first knowing that they will come in ([these] last *N(k)O*) of the days (with scoffing *NO*) scoffers according to [their] own evil desires of them following
4 na-asị, “O kwere unu nkwa na ọ ga-abịa, gịnị mere na ọ bịabeghị? Kemgbe nna nna anyị ha nwụrụ, ihe niile ka dị otu ha dị na mbụ, site nʼokike ụwa.”
and saying; Where is the promise of the coming of Him? From [the time] that for the fathers fell asleep, all things as they were continue from [the] beginning of creation.
5 Ha kpachaara anya chefuo na site nʼogologo oge gara aga, e sitere nʼokwu ọnụ Chineke kee eluigwe ma meekwa ka ụwa dịrị site na mmiri nke gbara ụwa gburugburu.
It is concealed from indeed them this willingly that heavens were existing long ago and [the] earth out of water and through water having been composed by the of God word,
6 Ọ bụkwa site na mmiri ndị a ka e ji bibie ma laa nʼiyi ụwa nke dị nʼoge ahụ.
through ([means of] those [waters] *NK(O)*) the at that time world with water having been deluged perished.
7 Ọ bụkwa otu okwu ahụ ka e ji nye iwu ka e chebe eluigwe na ụwa tutu ruo ụbọchị ahụ, mgbe a ga-eji ọkụ laa ha nʼiyi nʼụbọchị ahụ a ga-ekpe ndị niile na-amaghị Chineke ikpe, laakwa ha nʼiyi.
But now [the] heavens and the earth by the (same *NK(O)*) word stored up they are for fire being kept unto [the] day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 Ndị enyi m, unu echefula otu okwu a, nʼanya Chineke, otu ụbọchị dịka puku afọ, puku afọ dịkwa ka otu ụbọchị.
[This] one however thing not should be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] like a thousand years and a thousand years like day one.
9 Onyenwe anyị anaghị anọ ọdụ nʼimezu nkwa ya, dịka ndị ụfọdụ nʼahụta ya na ọ bụ ịnọ ọdụ. Kama o nwere ntachiobi nʼebe unu nọ, nʼihi na ọ chọghị ka onye ọbụla laa nʼiyi, kama ọ chọrọ ka onye ọbụla bịaruo na nchegharị.
Not does delay (the *k*) Lord the promise, as some slowness esteem; but is patient toward (you *N(K)O*) not willing [for] any to perish but all to repentance to come.
10 Ma ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị ga-abịa dịka onye ohi. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, eluigwe ga-eji oke ụzụ gafee. Ihe niile dị nʼeluigwe ga-agba ọkụ, laa nʼiyi. Ụwa na ọrụ niile a rụrụ nʼime ya ga-erepịakwa ọkụ nʼotu ntabi anya.
Will come however (the *k*) day of [the] Lord like a thief (in [the] night *K*) in which the heavens with a roar will pass away, elements then burning with heat (it will be dissolved, *N(k)O*) and [the] earth and the in it works (not *O*) (will be exposed. *N(K)O*)
11 Ebe ọ bụ na ihe niile gbara anyị gburugburu ga-esi otu a laa nʼiyi, ụdị ndị dị aṅaa ka unu kwesiri ịbụ? Unu kwesiri ị na-ebi ndụ dị nsọ na nke ịsọpụrụ Chineke,
When these things (in this way *N(K)O*) all being dissolved what kind ought to be you In holy conduct and in godliness
12 dịka unu na-ele anya ọbịbịa ụbọchị nke Chineke, na-echesikwa ya ike ka ọ bịa ngwangwa. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ụbọchị a ga-amụnye eluigwe niile ọkụ, mee ka ihe niile dị na ya gbaze bụrụ ihe na-agaghị adịkwa.
expecting and hastening the coming of the of God day, through which [the] heavens being set on fire will be dissolved and [the] elements burning with heat are melting?
13 Ma anyị na-ele anya mmezu nkwa ahụ o kwere, nkwa inye anyị eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ ebe ezi omume naanị ga-adị.
New however heavens and earth a new according to the promise of Him we are awaiting, in which righteousness dwells.
14 Bikonu ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, mgbe unu nọ na-ele anya ihe ndị a, jisienụ ike hụ na aka unu dị ọcha, ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta na ndị ha na ya dị nʼudo.
Therefore, beloved, these things expecting do be diligent without spot and without blemish by Him to be found in peace,
15 Chetakwanụ na ntachiobi Onyenwe anyị pụtara nzọpụta, dịka ezi nwanna anyị Pọl jiri amamihe Chineke nyere ya deere unu ihe banyere ya.
And the of the Lord of us patience [as] salvation do esteem, even as also the beloved of us brother Paul according to the having been given to him wisdom wrote to you,
16 O na-ede otu ihe ahụ nʼakwụkwọ ozi ya niile, na-ekwu ihe banyere ihe ndị a nʼime ha. E nwere ụfọdụ ihe o kwuru nke siri ike ịghọta nke ndị nzuzu na ndị na-amaghị ihe na-akọwa dịka ha si chepụta nʼobi ha. Ha asụgharịala ihe o dere dịka ha na-emekwa mpaghara akwụkwọ nsọ ụfọdụ, si otu a wetara onwe ha ịla nʼiyi.
as also in all (the *ko*) letters speaking in them concerning these things; among (which [letters] *N(k)O*) are difficult to be understood some things, which the ignorant and unestablished (distort *NK(o)*) as also the other Scriptures to the own of them destruction.
17 Ya mere, ezi ndị enyi m, ebe unu matara nke a, nọrọnụ na nche ka a ghara isite na njehie ndị na-emebi iwu duhie unu, ime ka unu si nʼọnọdụ unu daa.
you yourselves therefore, beloved, knowing [this] beforehand do beware that not by the of the lawless error having been led away you may fall from the [your] own steadfastness,
18 Bụrụnụ ndị na-eto eto nʼime amara. Bụrụkwanụ ndị na-aga nʼihu ịmụta ihe banyere Onyenwe anyị na Onye nzọpụta anyị Jisọs Kraịst nke ọma. Ka otuto dịrị ya ugbu a na mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn )
do grow however in grace and in knowledge of the Lord of us and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him [be] the glory both now and to [the] day of eternity, Amen. (aiōn )
