2 Pita 3
1 Navesi neramantoa rone'nimota, ama'i anante avo kreneramuankita tamage antahi'zana eneritma, tamagera okanisazegu tamazeri hanaveti ke neramasamue.
This letter that I am now writing to you whom I love, is the second [letter] that I have written to you. [In both] these letters I have reminded you [about the things you already know, in order that I may] stimulate/cause you to think sincerely [about those things].
2 Anumzamofo ruotge kasnampa vahe'mo'zama hu'naza ke'mo'a, avufa'a fore hugahie. Ranti Taguvazi Ne'mo aposol vahepi huvazino tamasami'nia kasegea tamagera okaniho.
[I want you] to remember the words that were spoken by the holy prophets {that the holy prophets spoke} long ago, and also to remember what our Lord and Savior commanded, things that we, your apostles, told you about.
3 Hu'neanangi tamagrama ketma antahitama hanazana, vagama reknafina, tamage kema huhaviza hu vahe'mo'za, tamage kemofona huhaviza nehu'za, zamagra'a havi zmaguzmagesa nevaririza,
It is important for you to understand that in the time [immediately] before Christ comes back, there will be people who will ridicule [the idea of his coming back. Those people will do whatever] evil things they wish to do.
4 anage hugahaze, Egahue huno Rantimimo'ma huvempama hu'neana, omeanki inazupa egahie? hu'za hugahaze. Korapa'ma mani'naza kva vahe'mo'za frizageno, ese agafa huno maka'zama troma hu'neazamo'a, zahera osuno anankante me'neaza huno me'ne.
They will say, “[Although it was] promised [that Christ] will come back, ([nothing has happened that would indicate] that he is coming back./[what happened to the promise] that he is coming back?) [RHQ] We say that because ever since the [Christian] leaders [who lived] long ago died [EUP], everything [has remained the same]. Things are as [they always have been] since God created [the world!]”
5 Korapara Anumzamo'a ke nehigeno mona fore nehigeno, tinke me'nefinti mopa eri fore hu'neazamofo kea zamage'nekanize.
[They will say that because] they (deliberately overlook [the fact/have decided to ignore what they know]) that God, by commanding [long ago that it should be so], caused the heavens to exist, and he caused the earth to appear out of water and to be separate from the water.
6 Anantera ama mopafima me'nea zantamina, tusi'a tinu ahe fanane hu'ne.
And God, by [commanding that it should be so], later destroyed the world [that existed] at that time, by causing the earth to be flooded with water {water to flood the earth}.
7 Hianagi ama mopane monane henkama refko'ma hanianknarera Agra tevenuti kre fanane hugahue, huno kea huntegeno me'ne. Hagi Anumzamofo avu'ava'ma nosaza vahe'enena zamahe fanane hugahie.
Furthermore, [God], commanded that the heavens and the earth [that exist] now remain until the time when [he] will judge (ungodly people/people whose lives are not pleasing to him). And at that time [he] will destroy the heavens and the earth by burning them.
8 Hianagi navesi neramantoa ronenimota amazana tamagera okaniho, Ramofontera mago zage ferumo'a 1tauseni'a zagekfugna higeno, 1tauseni'a zagekafumo'a magoke zage ferukna hu'ne.
Dear friends, I want you to understand well that the Lord [God is willing to wait a long time to judge the people in the world! How much time passes before] the Lord God [judges the people in the world does not matter to him! He considers] that one day [passes no more quickly than] 1,000 years, and [he also considers] that 1,000 years [pass as quickly as] one day passes [to us]!
9 Ramo'a huvempama hu'nea kerera, mago'a vahe'mo'zama nentahizaza huno akoheno eri'zana e'norie. Hagi akoheno kavega anteno mani'neno, mago'a vahe'mo'za fanane osnaze huno mani'ne. Hianagi maka vahe'mo'za zamagu'a rukrehe hanazegu zamavega anteno mani'ne.
[Therefore, you should not think that because Christ has not yet come back to judge people], the Lord God is (delaying/slow to do) what he promised. Some people think that this is so, [and they say that Christ will never come back]. But [you should understand that the reason why Christ has not yet come back to judge people is that] God is being patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be lost [eternally]. Instead, he wants everyone to turn away from their sinful behavior.
10 Rantimo'ma esianknamo'a kumzafa vahe'mo'za ontasmi'za neazankna hanigeno, monafima me'neazamo'a ra ageru neruno fanane hanigeno, tusi'a amuhonentake tevemo maka'zama ama mopafi me'neazana tefanane hugahie.
Although [God is being patient, at] the time [MTY] [that he has chosen], the Lord [Jesus Christ] will [certainly] come back [to judge people]. He will come back [unexpectedly], like a thief [SIM] [comes unexpectedly]. At that time there will be a great roaring sound. The heavens will cease to exist. (The elements/The parts [of which the universe consists]) will be destroyed by fire, and the earth [that God made] and everything on it [that people have made] will disappear (OR, will be burned up).
11 E'inahu kante ana makazamo vagaregahianki, tamagra inankna hutma manigahze. Mani ruotge nehuta, Anumzamofo fatgo avu'avaza nehutma, mani'nenkeno anazana fore hino.
Because God will certainly destroy all these things like [I just said], you certainly know how you should behave. [RHQ] You should behave (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God])
12 Ananknama esie hanutma eri'za enerinkeno, ame huno eno. Anankna zupa tevemo mona te fanane nehanigeno, maka'zana te maramra huno, te mekitrere hugahie.
while you [eagerly/expectantly] wait for [Christ] to return on the day that God [has chosen] [MTY], and you should try to make that day come soon. Because of what [God] [PRS] [will do on that day], the heavens will be destroyed. (The elements/The parts of which the universe consist) will melt and burn up.
13 Hianagi Anumzamo'a ko huvempa huranteno kasefa monane mopane tro hanugeno, fatgo avu'avazamoke megahie hu'ne. E'i anazama fore hanigu avega ante'none.
Although [all those events/things will happen, we rejoice because] we are waiting for the new heavens and new earth that [God] has promised. The [only people who will be] in the new heavens and on this new earth will be [people who are] [PRS] righteous.
14 E'ina hu'negu ronenimota, tamagra anazama fore'ma hanigura avega ante'nazanki, tamagratmia tamazeri agru hutma Anumzanena tamarimpa frune nemanita, hazenkezana omnena, keaga huramante'zana omnena, ananknagura avega anteta maniho.
Therefore, dear friends, because you are waiting for these things [to happen], do all that you can [live] (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]), [in order that Christ] will see that you [are] completely pure [DOU] [and that you are living] peacefully [with each other].
15 Anumzamo'ma akoheno tavega anteno mani'neazankura tamagera okaniho. Na'ankure Agra maka vahe zmahokeno zmagu vazinakure, nerafu Poli'enena ama anazankura Anumzamo'ma knare antahintahima aminereti kretamine.
And think about this: Our Lord [Jesus Christ is] patient [because he wants] people to be saved. Our dear (brother/fellow believer) Paul also wrote wise words to you [about these same matters], because God enabled him to understand [these] ([events/things that will happen]).
16 Ama anazanku'ma huno Polima maka avoma kre'nea avomofoma tagrama antahiama hu'zamo'a amuho hu'ne. Mago'amo'za ana kemofo rempi hu'za ontahi'za, manifatgo nosaza vahe'mo'za, ana nanekea ru agu'agesa rukrehe hu'za neramasamize. Zamagra anahukna hu'za mago'a avontafepi kenena erirukrehe nehu'za, zamagra'a kanazana zamavufare erigonefize.
In the [letters] that Paul wrote there are certain things that are difficult for people to understand. People [who are spiritually] ignorant and (unstable/do not believe firmly in Christ) interpret these things wrongly, as they also (interpret/explain the meaning of) the other parts of the Scriptures wrongly. The result is that they will destroy themselves [spiritually], and [God] will punish them.
17 Hagi ronenimote, e'inahu'zana fore hugahie hu'na ko tamasami'noe! E'ina hanigeta havi vahe'mofo zamavu'zmava'zamo tamavareno havi kante vuzankura kva hu'netma, traka hu'zankura oti hanavetiho.
Therefore, dear friends, [since you already know about those who teach what is false], (guard against them/beware). Do not let those wicked people deceive you by telling you things that are wrong, with the result that you yourselves begin to doubt [what you now firmly believe].
18 Hianagi Ranti Taguvazi Ne' Jisasi Kraisi asunkuzane, Agri antahintahi zampi hageta ra hiho. Menine henkanena, Agra'a hihamu masa'afi ra agia erivava hugahie. Tamage. (aiōn g165)
[Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
