2 Pedro 3
1 Loqꞌalaj taq alaxik, are wa ri ukabꞌ wuj ri kintzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe. Pa ukobꞌchal we wuj riꞌ nunaꞌtam chiꞌwe rech qas rukꞌ ichomabꞌal
Beloved, this is now my second letter to you. Both of them are reminders to stir you to wholesome thinking
2 kanaꞌtaj chiꞌwe ri kitzij ri tyoxalaj taq e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios ri xkitzijoj loq ojer xuqujeꞌ ri utaqanik ri Ajawxel qaKolonel ri xkitzijoj ri uꞌtaqoꞌn.
by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3 Chiwetaꞌmaj kꞌut chi pa taq ri kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij kepe na winaq ri kakiyak kitzeꞌ chiꞌwij, xuqujeꞌ are kakitereneꞌj ri itzel taq kirayinik, kakibꞌij:
Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
4 ¿La man kꞌu xubꞌij kanoq ri Cristo chi katzalij na loq? Maj jawjeꞌ kꞌo wi leꞌ. Ri e qatat qanan xekam bꞌik, maj kꞌexkꞌobꞌinaq che ronojel le jastaq, xaq je ubꞌanik jetaq ri xtikitaj loq ojer.
“Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.”
5 Kakibꞌano chi kasachan chike ri xubꞌan ri utzij ri Dios ojer. Xa rumal ri utzij xtiktaj loq ri kaj xuqujeꞌ ri ulew, xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌ.
But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
6 Are ri tzij rachiꞌl ri jaꞌ, xbꞌanowik chi xejiqꞌ ri winaq ri e kꞌo ojer.
through which the world of that time perished in the flood.
7 Kamik kꞌut, xa rumal ri tzij, ri kaj rachiꞌl ri ulew e yaktal na rech keporoxik are kuriq ri uqꞌijal kaqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri itzel taq winaq.
And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 Loqꞌalaj taj wachalal, masachan kꞌut chiꞌwe chi jun qꞌij jer kꞌo jun mil junabꞌ choch ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ jun mil junabꞌ je ri kꞌo jun qꞌij.
Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
9 Ri Dios man kabꞌeyetaj taj chubꞌanik ri utzujum kanoq, pune e kꞌi kebꞌinik chi xa bꞌeyetajinaq. Ri Dios ixrayeꞌm na, rumal cher man karaj taj chi kꞌo jun kasach kanoq xane konojel kakikꞌex na kikꞌuꞌx.
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
10 Are kꞌu ri qꞌij rech ri upetibꞌal ri Ajawxel kajunumataj rukꞌ ri upetibꞌal jun elaqꞌom. Che ri qꞌij riꞌ katukix na ri kaj. Ronojel ri jastaq ri kꞌo choch ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ ri uwachulew kaporox na rumal ri qꞌaqꞌ.
But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.
11 Ronojel katukix na, rumal riꞌ choqꞌaqꞌ kikꞌaslebꞌej jun chꞌajchꞌoj laj kꞌaslemal jetaq ri karaj ri Dios
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness
12 rech jeriꞌ kiwayeꞌj ri qꞌij rech ri upetibꞌal ri Dios. Che ri qꞌij riꞌ, rukꞌ qꞌaqꞌ ketukix na ri kaj, kejaꞌrisax na.
as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.
13 Ri Cristo kꞌut xutzuj kanoq kꞌakꞌ taq kaj xuqujeꞌ kꞌakꞌ ulew jawjeꞌ kabꞌan wi na ri sukꞌal.
But in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14 Rumal riꞌ, loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, utz majaꞌ kakꞌulmataj taq we jastaq riꞌ, chibꞌana ichuqꞌabꞌ rech are kape ri Dios man ix chꞌuluj taj kixuluriqaꞌ xane maj imak xuqujeꞌ utz ibꞌanik rukꞌ areꞌ.
Therefore, beloved, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace—spotless and blameless in His sight.
15 Naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi ri Ajawxel man petinaq ta na, rumal rayeꞌm kekolotaj konojel, jetaq kubꞌij ri xutzꞌibꞌaj ri alaxik Pablo, rukꞌ ri etaꞌmanik ri xya che rumal ri Dios.
Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him.
16 Pa ronojel ri uwuj ri Pablo xtzijon chirij ri upetibꞌal ri Cristo, pune kꞌo jastaq ri kꞌax uchꞌobꞌik, are kꞌu ri winaq ri maj ketaꞌmabꞌal kakikꞌex ubꞌixik we tzij riꞌ, je kakibꞌan che ronojel ri utzij ri Dios, nimalaj kꞌax kꞌu na kape pa kiwiꞌ we winaq ri jeriꞌ kakibꞌano.
He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Xaq jeriꞌ, loqꞌalaj taq wachalal, iwetaꞌm chi loq waꞌ we riꞌ, ko bꞌa chixkꞌoloq, miya bꞌe kixjururex bꞌik chubꞌanik ri mak rech ri tyoꞌjal, rech man kixel ta kanoq pa ri tunal.
Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.
18 Xane kixkꞌiy pa ri toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Ajawxel qaKolonel Jesucristo. Che areꞌ yaꞌtal wi ri juluwem kamik xuqujeꞌ ronojel qꞌij. Jeriꞌ. (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 Great Flood
