1 ဟေ ပြိယတမား, ယူယံ ယထာ ပဝိတြဘဝိၐျဒွက္တၖဘိး ပူရွွောက္တာနိ ဝါကျာနိ တြာတြာ ပြဘုနာ ပြေရိတာနာမ် အသ္မာကမ် အာဒေၑဉ္စ သာရထ တထာ ယုၐ္မာန် သ္မာရယိတွာ
This, dear friends, is my second letter to you. In both of them I have tried, by appealing to your remembrance, to arouse your better feelings.
2 ယုၐ္မာကံ သရလဘာဝံ ပြဗောဓယိတုမ် အဟံ ဒွိတီယမ် ဣဒံ ပတြံ လိခါမိ၊
I want you to recall what was foretold by the holy Prophets, as well as the Command of our Lord and Saviour given to you through your Apostles.
3 ပြထမံ ယုၐ္မာဘိရိဒံ ဇ္ဉာယတာံ ယတ် ၑေၐေ ကာလေ သွေစ္ဆာစာရိဏော နိန္ဒကာ ဥပသ္ထာယ
First be assured of this, that, as the age draws to an end, scoffers, led by their own passions,
4 ဝဒိၐျန္တိ ပြဘောရာဂမနသျ ပြတိဇ္ဉာ ကုတြ? ယတး ပိတၖလောကာနာံ မဟာနိဒြာဂမနာတ် ပရံ သရွွာဏိ သၖၐ္ဋေရာရမ္ဘကာလေ ယထာ တထဲဝါဝတိၐ္ဌန္တေ၊
will come and ask scoffingly — ‘Where is his promised Coming? Ever since our fathers passed to their rest, everything remains just as it was when the world was first created!’
5 ပူရွွမ် ဤၑွရသျ ဝါကျေနာကာၑမဏ္ဍလံ ဇလာဒ် ဥတ္ပန္နာ ဇလေ သန္တိၐ္ဌမာနာ စ ပၖထိဝျဝိဒျတဲတဒ် အနိစ္ဆုကတာတသ္တေ န ဇာနာန္တိ,
For they wilfully shut their eyes to the fact that long ago the heavens existed; and the earth, also — formed out of water and by the action of water, by the fiat of God;
6 တတသ္တာတ္ကာလိကသံသာရော ဇလေနာပ္လာဝိတော ဝိနာၑံ ဂတး၊
and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed in a deluge of water.
7 ကိန္တွဓုနာ ဝရ္တ္တမာနေ အာကာၑဘူမဏ္ဍလေ တေနဲဝ ဝါကျေန ဝဟ္နျရ္ထံ ဂုပ္တေ ဝိစာရဒိနံ ဒုၐ္ဋမာနဝါနာံ ဝိနာၑဉ္စ ယာဝဒ် ရက္ၐျတေ၊
But the present heavens and earth, by the same fiat, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the day of the judgment and destruction of the godless.
8 ဟေ ပြိယတမား, ယူယမ် ဧတဒေကံ ဝါကျမ် အနဝဂတာ မာ ဘဝတ ယတ် ပြဘေား သာက္ၐာဒ် ဒိနမေကံ ဝရ္ၐသဟသြဝဒ် ဝရ္ၐသဟသြဉ္စ ဒိနဲကဝတ်၊
But you, dear friends, must never shut your eyes to the fact that, to the Lord, one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 ကေစိဒ် ယထာ ဝိလမ္ဗံ မနျန္တေ တထာ ပြဘုး သွပြတိဇ္ဉာယာံ ဝိလမ္ဗတေ တန္နဟိ ကိန္တု ကော'ပိ ယန္န ဝိနၑျေတ် သရွွံ ဧဝ မနးပရာဝရ္တ္တနံ ဂစ္ဆေယုရိတျဘိလၐန် သော 'သ္မာန် ပြတိ ဒီရ္ဃသဟိၐ္ဏုတာံ ဝိဒဓာတိ၊
The Lord is not slow to fulfil his promise, as some count slowness; but he is forbearing with you, as it is not his will that any of you should perish, but that all should be brought to repentance.
10 ကိန္တု က္ၐပါယာံ စော်ရ ဣဝ ပြဘော ရ္ဒိနမ် အာဂမိၐျတိ တသ္မိန် မဟာၑဗ္ဒေန ဂဂနမဏ္ဍလံ လောပ္သျတေ မူလဝသ္တူနိ စ တာပေန ဂလိၐျန္တေ ပၖထိဝီ တန္မဓျသ္ထိတာနိ ကရ္မ္မာဏိ စ ဓက္ၐျန္တေ၊
The Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that day the heavens will pass away with a crash, the elements will be burnt up and dissolved, and the earth and all that is in it will be disclosed.
11 အတး သရွွဲရေတဲ ရွိကာရေ ဂန္တဝျေ သတိ ယသ္မိန် အာကာၑမဏ္ဍလံ ဒါဟေန ဝိကာရိၐျတေ မူလဝသ္တူနိ စ တာပေန ဂလိၐျန္တေ
Now, since all these things are in the process of dissolution, think what you yourselves ought to be — what holy and pious lives you ought to lead,
12 တသျေၑွရဒိနသျာဂမနံ ပြတီက္ၐမာဏဲရာကာင်္က္ၐမာဏဲၑ္စ ယူၐ္မာဘိ ရ္ဓရ္မ္မာစာရေၑွရဘက္တိဘျာံ ကီဒၖၑဲ ရ္လောကဲ ရ္ဘဝိတဝျံ?
while you await and hasten the coming of the Day of God. At its coming the heavens will be dissolved in fire, and the elements melted by heat,
13 တထာပိ ဝယံ တသျ ပြတိဇ္ဉာနုသာရေဏ ဓရ္မ္မသျ ဝါသသ္ထာနံ နူတနမ် အာကာၑမဏ္ဍလံ နူတနံ ဘူမဏ္ဍလဉ္စ ပြတီက္ၐာမဟေ၊
but we look for ‘new heavens and a new earth,’ where righteousness shall have its home, in fulfilment of the promise of God.
14 အတဧဝ ဟေ ပြိယတမား, တာနိ ပြတီက္ၐမာဏာ ယူယံ နိၐ္ကလင်္ကာ အနိန္ဒိတာၑ္စ ဘူတွာ ယတ် ၑာန္တျာၑြိတာသ္တိၐ္ဌထဲတသ္မိန် ယတဓွံ၊
Therefore, dear friends, in expectation of these things, make every effort to be found by him spotless, blameless, and at peace.
15 အသ္မာကံ ပြဘော ရ္ဒီရ္ဃသဟိၐ္ဏုတာဉ္စ ပရိတြာဏဇနိကာံ မနျဓွံ၊ အသ္မာကံ ပြိယဘြာတြေ ပေါ်လာယ ယတ် ဇ္ဉာနမ် အဒါယိ တဒနုသာရေဏ သော'ပိ ပတြေ ယုၐ္မာန် ပြတိ တဒေဝါလိခတ်၊
Regard our Lord’s forbearance as your one hope of Salvation. This is what our dear Brother Paul wrote to you, with the wisdom that God gave him.
16 သွကီယသရွွပတြေၐု စဲတာနျဓိ ပြသ္တုတျ တဒေဝ ဂဒတိ၊ တေၐု ပတြေၐု ကတိပယာနိ ဒုရူဟျာဏိ ဝါကျာနိ ဝိဒျန္တေ ယေ စ လောကာ အဇ္ဉာနာၑ္စဉ္စလာၑ္စ တေ နိဇဝိနာၑာရ္ထမ် အနျၑာသ္တြီယဝစနာနီဝ တာနျပိ ဝိကာရယန္တိ၊
It is the same in all his letters, when he speaks in them about these subjects. There are some things in them difficult to understand, which untaught and weak people distort, just as they do all other writings, to their own Ruin.
17 တသ္မာဒ် ဟေ ပြိယတမား, ယူယံ ပူရွွံ ဗုဒ္ဓွာ သာဝဓာနာသ္တိၐ္ဌတ, အဓာရ္မ္မိကာဏာံ ဘြာန္တိသြောတသာပဟၖတား သွကီယသုသ္ထိရတွာတ် မာ ဘြၑျတ၊
Do you, therefore, dear friends, now that you know this beforehand, be on your guard against being led away by the errors of reckless people, and so lapsing from your present steadfastness;
The Great Flood
