1 హే ప్రియతమాః, యూయం యథా పవిత్రభవిష్యద్వక్తృభిః పూర్వ్వోక్తాని వాక్యాని త్రాత్రా ప్రభునా ప్రేరితానామ్ అస్మాకమ్ ఆదేశఞ్చ సారథ తథా యుష్మాన్ స్మారయిత్వా
പ്രിയമുള്ളവരേ, ഞാൻ ഇപ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾക്കു എഴുതുന്നതു രണ്ടാം ലേഖനമല്ലോ.
2 యుష్మాకం సరలభావం ప్రబోధయితుమ్ అహం ద్వితీయమ్ ఇదం పత్రం లిఖామి|
വിശുദ്ധ പ്രവാചകന്മാർ മുൻപറഞ്ഞ വചനങ്ങളും നിങ്ങളുടെ അപ്പൊസ്തലന്മാർ മുഖാന്തരം കർത്താവും രക്ഷിതാവുമായവൻ തന്ന കല്പനയും ഓർത്തുകൊള്ളേണമെന്നു ഈ ലേഖനം രണ്ടിനാലും ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ ഓർമ്മപ്പെടുത്തി നിങ്ങളുടെ പരമാർത്ഥമനസ്സു ഉണർത്തുന്നു.
3 ప్రథమం యుష్మాభిరిదం జ్ఞాయతాం యత్ శేషే కాలే స్వేచ్ఛాచారిణో నిన్దకా ఉపస్థాయ
അവന്റെ പ്രത്യക്ഷതയുടെ വാഗ്ദത്തം എവിടെ?
4 వదిష్యన్తి ప్రభోరాగమనస్య ప్రతిజ్ఞా కుత్ర? యతః పితృలోకానాం మహానిద్రాగమనాత్ పరం సర్వ్వాణి సృష్టేరారమ్భకాలే యథా తథైవావతిష్ఠన్తే|
പിതാക്കന്മാർ നിദ്രകൊണ്ടശേഷം സകലവും സൃഷ്ടിയുടെ ആരംഭത്തിൽ ഇരുന്നതുപോലെ തന്നേ ഇരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു സ്വന്തമോഹങ്ങളെ അനുസരിച്ചുനടക്കുന്ന പരിഹാസികൾ പരിഹാസത്തോടെ അന്ത്യകാലത്തു വരുമെന്നു വിശേഷാൽ അറിഞ്ഞുകൊൾവിൻ.
5 పూర్వ్వమ్ ఈశ్వరస్య వాక్యేనాకాశమణ్డలం జలాద్ ఉత్పన్నా జలే సన్తిష్ఠమానా చ పృథివ్యవిద్యతైతద్ అనిచ్ఛుకతాతస్తే న జానాన్తి,
ആകാശവും വെള്ളത്തിൽനിന്നും വെള്ളത്താലും ഉളവായ ഭൂമിയും പണ്ടു ദൈവത്തിന്റെ വചനത്താൽ ഉണ്ടായി എന്നും
6 తతస్తాత్కాలికసంసారో జలేనాప్లావితో వినాశం గతః|
അതിനാൽ അന്നുള്ള ലോകം ജലപ്രളയത്തിൽ മുങ്ങി നശിച്ചു എന്നും
7 కిన్త్వధునా వర్త్తమానే ఆకాశభూమణ్డలే తేనైవ వాక్యేన వహ్న్యర్థం గుప్తే విచారదినం దుష్టమానవానాం వినాశఞ్చ యావద్ రక్ష్యతే|
ഇപ്പോഴത്തെ ആകാശവും ഭൂമിയും അതേ വചനത്താൽ തീക്കായി സൂക്ഷിച്ചും ന്യായവിധിയും ഭക്തികെട്ട മനുഷ്യരുടെ നാശവും സംഭവിപ്പാനുള്ള ദിവസത്തേക്കു കാത്തുമിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നും അവർ മനസ്സോടെ മറന്നുകളയുന്നു.
8 హే ప్రియతమాః, యూయమ్ ఏతదేకం వాక్యమ్ అనవగతా మా భవత యత్ ప్రభోః సాక్షాద్ దినమేకం వర్షసహస్రవద్ వర్షసహస్రఞ్చ దినైకవత్|
എന്നാൽ പ്രിയമുള്ളവരേ, കർത്താവിന്നു ഒരു ദിവസം ആയിരം സംവത്സരംപോലെയും ആയിരം സംവത്സരം ഒരു ദിവസംപോലെയും ഇരിക്കുന്നു എന്നീ കാര്യം നിങ്ങൾ മറക്കരുതു.
9 కేచిద్ యథా విలమ్బం మన్యన్తే తథా ప్రభుః స్వప్రతిజ్ఞాయాం విలమ్బతే తన్నహి కిన్తు కోఽపి యన్న వినశ్యేత్ సర్వ్వం ఏవ మనఃపరావర్త్తనం గచ్ఛేయురిత్యభిలషన్ సో ఽస్మాన్ ప్రతి దీర్ఘసహిష్ణుతాం విదధాతి|
ചിലർ താമസം എന്നു വിചാരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ കർത്താവു തന്റെ വാഗ്ദത്തം നിവർത്തിപ്പാൻ താമസിക്കുന്നില്ല. ആരും നശിച്ചുപോകാതെ എല്ലാവരും മാനസാന്തരപ്പെടുവാൻ അവൻ ഇച്ഛിച്ചു നിങ്ങളോടു ദീർഘക്ഷമ കാണിക്കുന്നതേയുള്ളു.
10 కిన్తు క్షపాయాం చౌర ఇవ ప్రభో ర్దినమ్ ఆగమిష్యతి తస్మిన్ మహాశబ్దేన గగనమణ్డలం లోప్స్యతే మూలవస్తూని చ తాపేన గలిష్యన్తే పృథివీ తన్మధ్యస్థితాని కర్మ్మాణి చ ధక్ష్యన్తే|
കർത്താവിന്റെ ദിവസമോ കള്ളനെപ്പോലെ വരും. അന്നു ആകാശം കൊടുമ്മുഴക്കത്തോടെ ഒഴിഞ്ഞു പോകും; മൂലപദാർത്ഥങ്ങൾ കത്തിയഴികയും ഭൂമിയും അതിലുള്ള പണികളും വെന്തുപോകയും ചെയ്യും.
11 అతః సర్వ్వైరేతై ర్వికారే గన్తవ్యే సతి యస్మిన్ ఆకాశమణ్డలం దాహేన వికారిష్యతే మూలవస్తూని చ తాపేన గలిష్యన్తే
ഇങ്ങനെ ഇവ ഒക്കെയും അഴിവാനുള്ളതായിരിക്കയാൽ ആകാശം ചുട്ടഴിവാനും മൂലപദാർത്ഥങ്ങൾ വെന്തുരുകുവാനും ഉള്ള ദൈവദിവസത്തിന്റെ വരവു കാത്തിരുന്നും ബദ്ധപ്പെടുത്തിയുംകൊണ്ടു
12 తస్యేశ్వరదినస్యాగమనం ప్రతీక్షమాణైరాకాఙ్క్షమాణైశ్చ యూష్మాభి ర్ధర్మ్మాచారేశ్వరభక్తిభ్యాం కీదృశై ర్లోకై ర్భవితవ్యం?
നിങ്ങൾ എത്ര വിശുദ്ധജീവനവും ഭക്തിയും ഉള്ളവർ ആയിരിക്കേണം.
13 తథాపి వయం తస్య ప్రతిజ్ఞానుసారేణ ధర్మ్మస్య వాసస్థానం నూతనమ్ ఆకాశమణ్డలం నూతనం భూమణ్డలఞ్చ ప్రతీక్షామహే|
എന്നാൽ നാം അവന്റെ വാഗ്ദത്തപ്രകാരം നീതി വസിക്കുന്ന പുതിയ ആകാശത്തിന്നും പുതിയ ഭൂമിക്കുമായിട്ടു കാത്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
14 అతఏవ హే ప్రియతమాః, తాని ప్రతీక్షమాణా యూయం నిష్కలఙ్కా అనిన్దితాశ్చ భూత్వా యత్ శాన్త్యాశ్రితాస్తిష్ఠథైతస్మిన్ యతధ్వం|
അതുകൊണ്ടു പ്രിയമുള്ളവരേ, നിങ്ങൾ ഇവെക്കായി കാത്തിരിക്കയാൽ അവൻ നിങ്ങളെ കറയും കളങ്കവും ഇല്ലാത്തവരായി സമാധാനത്തോടെ കാണ്മാൻ ഉത്സാഹിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു
15 అస్మాకం ప్రభో ర్దీర్ఘసహిష్ణుతాఞ్చ పరిత్రాణజనికాం మన్యధ్వం| అస్మాకం ప్రియభ్రాత్రే పౌలాయ యత్ జ్ఞానమ్ అదాయి తదనుసారేణ సోఽపి పత్రే యుష్మాన్ ప్రతి తదేవాలిఖత్|
നമ്മുടെ കർത്താവിന്റെ ദീർഘക്ഷമയെ രക്ഷ എന്നു വിചാരിപ്പിൻ. അങ്ങനെ തന്നേ നമ്മുടെ പ്രിയ സഹോദരനായ പൗലൊസും തനിക്കു ലഭിച്ച ജ്ഞാനത്തിന്നു തക്കവണ്ണം നിങ്ങൾക്കും
16 స్వకీయసర్వ్వపత్రేషు చైతాన్యధి ప్రస్తుత్య తదేవ గదతి| తేషు పత్రేషు కతిపయాని దురూహ్యాణి వాక్యాని విద్యన్తే యే చ లోకా అజ్ఞానాశ్చఞ్చలాశ్చ తే నిజవినాశార్థమ్ అన్యశాస్త్రీయవచనానీవ తాన్యపి వికారయన్తి|
ഇതിനെക്കുറിച്ചു സംസാരിക്കുന്ന സകല ലേഖനങ്ങളിലും എഴുതീട്ടുണ്ടല്ലോ. അവയിൽ ഗ്രഹിപ്പാൻ പ്രയാസമുള്ളതു ചിലതുണ്ടു. അറിവില്ലാത്തവരും അസ്ഥിരന്മാരുമായവർ ശേഷം തിരുവെഴുത്തുകളെപ്പോലെ അതും തങ്ങളുടെ നാശത്തിന്നായി കോട്ടിക്കളയുന്നു.
17 తస్మాద్ హే ప్రియతమాః, యూయం పూర్వ్వం బుద్ధ్వా సావధానాస్తిష్ఠత, అధార్మ్మికాణాం భ్రాన్తిస్రోతసాపహృతాః స్వకీయసుస్థిరత్వాత్ మా భ్రశ్యత|
എന്നാൽ പ്രിയമുള്ളവരേ, നിങ്ങൾ മുമ്പുകൂട്ടി അറിഞ്ഞിരിക്കകൊണ്ടു അധർമ്മികളുടെ വഞ്ചനയിൽ കുടുങ്ങി സ്വന്ത സ്ഥിരതവിട്ടു വീണു പോകാതിരിപ്പാൻ സൂക്ഷിച്ചുകൊൾവിൻ.
The World is Destroyed by Water
