२ पत्रुस 3
1 प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूका निष्कपट मनलाई उत्साहित तुल्याउन म यो दोस्रो पत्र लेख्दै छु,
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 ताकि तिमीहरूले पवित्र अगमवक्ताहरूले बोलेका वचनहरू र तिमीहरूका प्रेरितहरूद्वारा हाम्रा प्रभु र मुक्तिदाताका आज्ञाहरूको याद गर्न सक ।
To remember the fore-spoken declarations made by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour, by your apostles.
3 पहिले यो कुरा जान कि अन्तिम दिनहरूमा गिल्ला गर्नेहरू तिमीहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्दै र आफ्नै इच्छामा हिँड्दै आउनेछन् ।
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 अनि यसो भन्दै आउनेछन्, “उहाँको आगमनको प्रतिज्ञा कहाँ गयो? हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू बितेर गए, तर सृष्टिको सुरुदेखि नै सबै चिज उस्तै छन् ।”
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 धेरै वर्षअगि वचनद्वारा नै स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी पानीबाट बनाइएका थिए भन्ने कुरा तिनीहरू स्वेच्छाले बिर्सन्छन् ।
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 अनि त्यस बेलाको पृथ्वी उहाँको वचन र जल प्रलयद्वारा नष्ट भयो
By which means, the world that then was, with water being flooded, perished;
7 अनि स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी आगोको न्यायको निम्ति र दुष्टहरूको विनाशको लागि त्यही वचनद्वारा सुरक्षित राखिएको छ ।
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 प्रिय हो, यो कुरा नभुल कि प्रभुको लागि एक दिन एक हजार वर्ष र एक हजार वर्ष एक दिनझैँ हुन्छ ।
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 अरूले सोचेजस्तै परमेश्वर आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञाको बारेमा ढिलो गर्नुहुन्न, तर तिमीहरूको निम्ति उहाँ धैर्यवान् हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ तिमीहरूमध्ये कोही पनि नाश होस् भन्ने चाहनुहुन्न, तर उहाँले सबैलाई पश्चात्ताप गर्ने समय दिने चाहना गर्नुहुन्छ ।
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 तर परमेश्वरको समय चोरजस्तै गरी आउनेछ । ठुलो आवाजसहित आकाश बितेर जानेछ । आगोले तत्त्वहरू पगाल्नेछ र पृथ्वी अनि यसमा भएका कामहरू प्रकट हुनेछन् ।
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 सबै कुरा यसरी नै नाश गरिनेछन् भने तिमीहरू कस्ता मानिसहरू हुनुपर्ने हो? तिमीहरूले पवित्र र धर्मी जीवन जिउनुपर्छ ।
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 तिमीहरूले व्यग्रतासाथ परमेश्वरको आगमनको लागि आशा गर्नुपर्छ । त्यस दिन आकाशहरू आगोद्वारा नष्ट गरिनेछ र तत्त्वहरूलाई प्रचण्ड तापले पगाल्नेछन् ।
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 तर उहाँको प्रतिज्ञाअनुसार हामी नयाँ स्वर्ग र नयाँ पृथ्वीको पर्खाइमा छौँ, जहाँ धार्मिकताले बास गर्छ ।
But, new heavens, and a new earth, according to his promise, are we expecting, wherein, righteousness, is to dwell.
14 त्यसकारण प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू गरेका हुनाले दागरहित र खोटरहित अनि उहाँको शान्तिमा हुनको निम्ति सक्दो प्रयास गर ।
Wherefore, beloved, these things, expecting—give diligence, unspotted and unblemished, by him, to be found, in peace;
15 र हाम्रा प्रभुको धैर्यलाई मुक्ति ठान, जसरी हाम्रा प्रिय भाइ पावलले उनलाई दिइएको ज्ञानद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई लेखेका छन् ।
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 पावलले उनका सबै पत्रहरूमा यी कुराहरूको बारेमा उल्लेख गरेका छन्, जहाँ बुझ्न कठिन हुने कुराहरू पनि छन् । अनुशासनहीन र अस्थिर मानिसहरूले यी कुराहरूलाई बङ्ग्याउँछन् जसरी तिनीहरूले धर्मशास्त्रका अरू वचनहरूलाई बङ्ग्याउँदै आफ्नो विनाश निम्त्याउँछन् ।
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 त्यसकारण प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू जानेको हुनाले आफैँलाई सुरक्षित राख ताकि व्यवस्थाहीन मानिसहरूको छलले तिमीहरूलाई टाढा नलैजाओस्, र तिमीहरूले आफ्नो विश्वासयोग्यतालाई नगुमाओ ।
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;
The World is Destroyed by Water
