Petrus II 3

1 IET kisin likau kariau, me i inting wong komail, kompok kan, pwen kataman kin komail o kapirada ngen omail makelekel.

This is now my second letter to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your pure minds by putting you in remembrance.

2 Pwe komail en tamanda masan en saukop saraui kan, kusoned en Kaun o Saunkamaur, me wanporon oko, me pakadar wong komail, wa dong komail.

I want you to recollect the words that were foretold by the holy prophets, and the command of your Lord and Saviour, given you through your apostles.

3 O iet eta komail en asa, ni imwin ran akan aramas lalaue pan pwarado, me pan weweid ni pein ar inong sued.

Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days, in their mockery, men who walk the way of their own lusts

4 Indada: Ia kilel en a pan kotido? Pwe sang ni ran o, sam akan melar kokodo lel met, meakaros kin dueta nin tapi o.

and say, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the day that our fathers fell asleep everything continues as it was from the beginning of the creation."

5 Pwe irail kin men ponsasa, me masia lang akan o sappa eu mia nan pil o, ap pwarada sang nan pil ki masan en Kot.

For they willingly ignore the fact that there were heaven, from of old, and an earth formed out of water and through water, by the word of God;

6 I me sappa en mas o okilar nolik lapalap.

and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed by a deluge of water.

7 Pil dueta lang akan o sappa en met nekinek kita masan ota ong kisiniai ni ran en kadeik o kampan aramas me san Kot akan.

But the heavens and earth that now are, by the same word of God, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the Day of Judgment, and for the destruction of ungodly men.

8 Kompok kan, iet eta komail en asa, me ran ta ieu o par kid ras pena ta ren Kaun o, o par kid o ran eu dupeneta.

Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 Kaun o sota kotin kapwandela inau o, duen akai kin kiki ong, pwe a kotin kanongama ong komail, pwe a sota kotin mauki, akai en lokidokila, pwe karos en wilikapala.

The Lord does not loiter over his promise, as some men esteem loitering; but he is longsuffering toward you, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should pass on to repentance.

10 A ran en Kaun o pan pwarado dueta lipirap amen. I dokan lang akan pan mor pasang ni morong lapalap o tapipa kan pan pei pasang ki kisiniai kel, o sappa o a dipisou kan pan rongala.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that Day the heavens will vanish with a crash, the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be burned up.

11 Ari, ma mepukat karos pan ola, iaduen a pan re omail ni omail wiawia mau o lelapok,

Now since all things are in the process of dissolution, what kind of men ought you to be, in all holy living and piety;

12 Pwe komail kin auiaui o inong iong ran en Kot, me lang akan pan rong kila kisiniai, o tapipa kan pei pasang, pwe karakar muletok.

while you look for and hasten the coming of the Day of God. At its coming the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat.

13 A kitail kin auiaui lang kap akan o sappa kap, wasa me lamalam pung pan wiaui, duen a kotin inaukidar.

But according to his promise, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness makes her dwelling.

14 Kompok kan, pweki omail auiaui mepukat, komail en nantiong, pwe komail en diarokada re a so samin, o so sapung ni popol.

And so, beloved, since you are looking for these things, continually give diligence that you may be found in peace, unspotted and blameless in his sight.

15 Pwe komail asa duen kanongama en atail Kaun, pwe i kamaur pa’mail, duen ri atail Paulus kompok inting wong komail er ni lolekong, me ko ong i.

Regard our Lord’s longsuffering as salvation; even as our dear brother Paul also wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

16 Duen a kasokasoi nan a kisin likau karos, a akai wasa me apwal en dedeki, me sololekong o so lolin akan kin kawukila, dueta ar pil kawukila masan tei kan, me pan kare ong irail pein ar lokidokila.

It is the same in all his letters when he speaks of these things. There are indeed some things in his letters hard to understand, which the ignorant and the shifty wrest, as also they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

17 Kompok kan, pweki omail asa mepukat, komail kalaka, pwe komail der sapung kila padak en me sued akan, ap pupedi sang katengeteng komail.

Do you therefore, beloved, because you know these things beforehand, be on your guard lest you be led astray by the error of the wicked, and so fall from your own stedfastness.

18 A komail kairida ni mak o lolekongki padak en atail Kaun o Saunkamaur Iesus Kristus. I me kon ong en ale wau metet o kokolata lel ong ni ran soutuk. (aiōn g165)

But grow continually in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the Day of Eternity, Amen. (aiōn g165)

The World is Destroyed by Water
