2 Petera 3
1 O rañetse, intoy ty taratasiko faharoe nisokirako hampitsekake an-tiahy ty fitsakorean’ arofo’ areo ki’e,
This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,
2 haniahy i saontsy nampisaontsieñe o mpitoky miavakeo taoloy naho i nandilia’ i Talè, toe Mpandrombakey, añamo Firàhe’ areooy.
To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour.
3 Maharendreha hey te hivotrake eo amo andro honka’eo o mpanivetiveo hanivetive, hañorike ty drao-rati’e;
This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,
4 hanao ty hoe: Aia ze o fampitamañe i fitotsaha’e zao? fa sikal’ ami’ty nirotan-droae’ay le kila mitoloñe ami’ty fanoe’e hirik’ami’ty fifotora’ ty voatse toy.
And say, Where is the promise of his comming? for since the fathers died, all things continue alike from the beginning of the creation.
5 Ie ifahara’e, le amoea’e te nampiboak’ o likerañeo haehae i tsaran’ Añaharey, naho boak’ an-drano vaho añivo rano ty nañoreñañe ty tane toy;
For this they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the water, by the word of God.
6 ie ty nandrotsahañe ty tane toy tañ’ andro izay, ie niepoepoen-drano.
Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
7 Le ty amy tsaray, mihaja ho ami’ty afo o likerañeo naho ty tane toy henaneo, ho amy androm-pizakañe naho fandrotsahañe ondaty lo-tserekeoy.
But the heauens and earth, which are nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued vnto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of vngodly men.
8 O rañetse, ko amoea’ areo itoy, te hoe arivo taoñe ty andro raike amy Talè, le hoe andro raike ty arivo taoñe.
Dearely beloued, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, as a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres as one day.
9 Tsy malaoñe amy nampitamae’ey t’i Talè, ami’ty fanoe’ ty ila’e ty hoe malaoñe; f’ie mahaliñe an-tika, tsy satri’e te ndra iaia ty ho momoke, fa te songa hisoloho.
The Lord of that promise is not slacke (as some men count slackenesse) but is pacient toward vs, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance.
10 Ho tondroke hoe mpikizo an-kaleñe ty andro’ i Talè, ie hihelañe añe o likerañeo am-pitraontraoñañe, le kila ho tomontoe’ ty hamae vaho ho forototoe’ ty afo ty tane toy naho o fitoloña’eo.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a noyse, and the elements shall melt with heate, and the earth with the workes that are therein, shalbe burnt vp.
11 Aa kanao hene hiteno, h’ondaty manao akore v’inahareo am-pañaveloañe miavake vaho am-pañambenañe Hake?
Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
12 ie mitamà naho manaentàeñe i andron’ Añaharey, ama’e ty hamorototoe’ ty afo o likerañeo, vaho fonga hitranak’ ami’ty hamae’e.
Looking for, and hasting vnto the comming of that day of God, by the which the heauens being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements shall melt with heate?
13 Fe ty amy nampitama’ey, le misalala likeram-bao naho tane vao imoneñan-kavantañañe tika.
But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.
14 Ie amy zao ry rañetse, kanao liñisañe, imaneo ty hahavazohoa’e anahareo an-kazavan-troke tsy aman-kandra tsy aman-kakeo.
Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blamelesse.
15 Itsakoreo te fandrombahañe ty fahaliñisa’ i Talèntikañey, hambañe amy nisokira’ i Paoly rahalahin-tika sarotsey amy hihitse natolots’ azey;
And suppose that the long suffering of our Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto him wrote to you,
16 ie mitaroñe i entañe zay amo hene taratasi’eo. Toe ao ty tsy mora rendreke ie vandibandire’ o bàdo naho mañali-foo, hambañe ami’ty fanoa’ iareo o sokitse masiñe ila’eo, himomoha’ iareo.
As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of these thinges: among the which some thinges are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other Scriptures vnto their owne destruction.
17 Aa kanao fohi’ areo aolo ry rañetse, le mitaoa tsy hikapotrake ty figahiña’areo, hampandridrihe’e ty fandilara’ o tsereheñeo,
Ye therefore beloued, seeing ye know these thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse.
18 F’ie mitomboa ami’ty hasoa naho ami’ty faharendrehañe i Talèntika Iesoà Mpandrombake Norizañey. Ama’e ty engeñe henaneo naho pak’ an-tsa tsy modo! Amena. (aiōn g165)
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be glory both now and for euermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
