2 Pedro 3

1 Ita, insuratko daytoy a maikadua a suratko kadakayo a patpatgek tapno paregtaek ti napudno a panunotyo

This, already, beloved, is the second letter I am writing unto you; and, in these letters, I am stirring up—by way of calling to remembrance—your uncorrupted mind,

2 tapno malagipyo dagiti sasao a naibaga idin babaen kadagiti nasantoan a profeta ken maipanggep iti bilin ti Apo ken mannubbottayo babaen kadagiti apostolyo.

To remember the fore-spoken declarations made by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour, by your apostles.

3 Ammoenyo daytoy nga umuna; addanto dagiti mananglalais nga umay kadagiti maudi nga al-aldaw a manglaisdakayo, ket agtignayda segun kadagiti bukodda a tarigagay,

Of this, first, taking note—that there will come, in the last of the days, with scoffing, scoffers, after their own covetings, going on,

4 ket kunaenda, “Ayanna ti kari ti panagsublina? Natayen dagiti ammatayo, ngem awan met iti nagbaliwan dagiti amin a banbanag manipud idi rugrugi ti pannakaparsua.''

and saying—Where is the promise of his presence? For, since the fathers fell asleep, all things, thus remain, from the beginning of creation.

5 Inggagarada a linipat a dagiti langit ken ti daga ket naipasdek manipud iti danum, ken babaen iti danum iti nabayagen a panawen, babaen iti sao ti Dios,

For this they, willfully, forget—that there were, heavens, from of old, and, an earth, on account of water and by means of water, compacted, by God’s word, —

6 ket babaen iti saona ken iti danum, nadadael ti lubong iti pannakalayusna iti dayta a tiempo.

By which means, the world that then was, with water being flooded, perished;

7 Ngem ita, naisagana dagiti langit ken ti daga babaen iti dayta met laeng a sao para iti apuy, ket naisaganada para iti aldaw ti pannakaukom ken iti pannakadadael dagiti saan a nadiosan a tattao.

While, the heavens and the earth that now are, by the same word, have been stored with fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly men.

8 Rumbeng a saanyo a liplipatan daytoy, ay-ayatek, nga iti maysa nga aldaw ti Apo ket kasla sangaribu a tawen, ken ti sangaribu a tawen ket kasla maysa nga aldaw.

But, this one thing, forget not, beloved, —that, one day, with the Lord, is as a thousand years, and, a thousand years, as one day.

9 Saan a nabuntog nga agtignay ti Dios maipapan kadagiti karina, a kas pagarupen dagiti dadduma a daytoy ket kinabuntog, ngem naanus isuna kadakayo. Saanna a tarigagayan a mapukaw ti uray maysa kadakayo, ngem tarigagayna nga ipalubos a maaddaan iti tiempo ti amin nga agbabawi.

The Lord is, not slack, concerning his promise, as some count, slackness; but is long-suffering with regard to you, not being minded that any should perish, but that, all, unto repentance, should come.

10 Nupay kasta, ti aldaw ti Apo ket umay a kasla mannanakaw. Mapukawto dagiti langit a buyogan iti napigsa nga ariwawa. Mapuoranto dagiti elemento babaen iti apuy ket maiparangarangto ti daga ken dagiti aramid nga adda iti daytoy.

Howbeit the day of the Lord will be here, as a thief, —in which, the heavens, with a rushing noise, will pass away, while, elements, becoming intensely hot, will be dissolved, and, earth, and the works therein, will be discovered.

11 Agsipud ta amin dagitoy a banbanag ket madadaelto iti kastoy a wagas, ania a kita ti tattao ti rumbeng koma a pagbalinanyo? Masapul nga agbiagkayo iti nasantoan ken nadiosan a panagbiag.

Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons, ought [ye] all the while to be, in holy ways of behaviour and acts of godliness, —

12 Masapul a mangnamnamakayo ken agapurakayo maipapan iti iyaay ti aldaw ti Dios. Iti dayta nga aldaw, madadaelto dagiti langlangit babaen iti apuy ken marunawto dagiti elemento gapu iti napalalo unay a pudot.

Expecting and hastening the presence of the day of God, by reason of which, heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and, elements, becoming intensely hot, are to be melted;

13 Ngem segun iti karina, urayentayo dagiti baro a langit ken ti baro a daga, a pagnanaedan ti kinalinteg.

But, new heavens, and a new earth, according to his promise, are we expecting, wherein, righteousness, is to dwell.

14 Ngarud, patpatgek, agsipudta namnamaenyo dagitoy a banbanag, aramidenyo ti amin a kabaelanyo tapno saankayo a mamulitan ken awan iti pakapilawanyo, ken addaankayo iti nasayaat a panakakikadua kenkuana.

Wherefore, beloved, these things, expecting—give diligence, unspotted and unblemished, by him, to be found, in peace;

15 Ken ibilangyo a pannakaisalakan ti kinaanus ti Apotayo, kas insurat kadakayo ti patpatgenyo a kabsat a ni Pablo, manipud iti sirib a naited kenkuana.

And account, our Lord’s long suffering, [to be] salvation: —even as, our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you;

16 Kanayon a dakdakamaten ni Pablo dagitoy a banbanag kadagiti amin a suratna, nga adda dagiti banbanag a narigat a maawatan. Ballikugen dagiti saan a nasuroan ken saan a natalged a tattao dagitoy a banbanag, a kas met laeng iti ar-aramidenda kadagiti dadduma pay a nasantoan a sursurat, a mangitunda kadakuada iti pakadadaelan.

As also, in all letters, speaking in them concerning these things, —in which [letters] are some things, hard to be understood, which, the uninstructed and unstable, wrest, —as also the other scriptures, —unto their own destruction.

17 Ngarud, dakayo a patpatgek, agsipud ta ammoyon dagitoy a banbanag, annadanyo dagiti bagbagiyo tapno saankayo nga agturong iti pakaiyaw-awanan babaen iti panangallilaw dagiti awanan-linteg a tattao ket mapukawyo ti bukodyo a kinapudno.

Ye, therefore, beloved, taking note beforehand, be on your guard, lest, with the error of the impious being led away, ye fall from your own steadfastness;

18 Ngem dumakkelkayo iti parabur ken pannakaammoyo iti Apotayo ken Manangisalakantayo a ni Jesu-Cristo. Maipaay koma kenkuana ti dayaw, ita ken iti agnanayon. Amen! (aiōn g165)

But be growing in the favour and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: —unto whom be the glory, both now and unto a day that abideth. (aiōn g165)
