२ पत्रुस 3
1 प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूका निष्कपट मनलाई उत्साहित तुल्याउन म यो दोस्रो पत्र लेख्दै छु,
This second epistle, beloved, I now write to you; in [both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 ताकि तिमीहरूले पवित्र अगमवक्ताहरूले बोलेका वचनहरू र तिमीहरूका प्रेरितहरूद्वारा हाम्रा प्रभु र मुक्तिदाताका आज्ञाहरूको याद गर्न सक ।
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:
3 पहिले यो कुरा जान कि अन्तिम दिनहरूमा गिल्ला गर्नेहरू तिमीहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्दै र आफ्नै इच्छामा हिँड्दै आउनेछन् ।
Knowing this first, that there will come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
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 coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
5 धेरै वर्षअगि वचनद्वारा नै स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी पानीबाट बनाइएका थिए भन्ने कुरा तिनीहरू स्वेच्छाले बिर्सन्छन् ।
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 अनि त्यस बेलाको पृथ्वी उहाँको वचन र जल प्रलयद्वारा नष्ट भयो
By which the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 अनि स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी आगोको न्यायको निम्ति र दुष्टहरूको विनाशको लागि त्यही वचनद्वारा सुरक्षित राखिएको छ ।
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved to fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 प्रिय हो, यो कुरा नभुल कि प्रभुको लागि एक दिन एक हजार वर्ष र एक हजार वर्ष एक दिनझैँ हुन्छ ।
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord 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 men count slackness; but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 तर परमेश्वरको समय चोरजस्तै गरी आउनेछ । ठुलो आवाजसहित आकाश बितेर जानेछ । आगोले तत्त्वहरू पगाल्नेछ र पृथ्वी अनि यसमा भएका कामहरू प्रकट हुनेछन् ।
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein will be burned up.
11 सबै कुरा यसरी नै नाश गरिनेछन् भने तिमीहरू कस्ता मानिसहरू हुनुपर्ने हो? तिमीहरूले पवित्र र धर्मी जीवन जिउनुपर्छ ।
[Seeing] then [that] all these things will be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy deportment and godliness,
12 तिमीहरूले व्यग्रतासाथ परमेश्वरको आगमनको लागि आशा गर्नुपर्छ । त्यस दिन आकाशहरू आगोद्वारा नष्ट गरिनेछ र तत्त्वहरूलाई प्रचण्ड तापले पगाल्नेछन् ।
Looking for and hasting to the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 तर उहाँको प्रतिज्ञाअनुसार हामी नयाँ स्वर्ग र नयाँ पृथ्वीको पर्खाइमा छौँ, जहाँ धार्मिकताले बास गर्छ ।
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwelleth righteousness.
14 त्यसकारण प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू गरेका हुनाले दागरहित र खोटरहित अनि उहाँको शान्तिमा हुनको निम्ति सक्दो प्रयास गर ।
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 र हाम्रा प्रभुको धैर्यलाई मुक्ति ठान, जसरी हाम्रा प्रिय भाइ पावलले उनलाई दिइएको ज्ञानद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई लेखेका छन् ।
And account [that] the long-suffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written to 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 [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, to 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, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
