۲ پِتَرَح 3

1 ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَں یَتھا پَوِتْرَبھَوِشْیَدْوَکْترِبھِح پُورْوّوکْتانِ واکْیانِ تْراتْرا پْرَبھُنا پْریرِتانامْ اَسْماکَمْ آدیشَنْچَ سارَتھَ تَتھا یُشْمانْ سْمارَیِتْوا

This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in [both] which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind,

2 یُشْماکَں سَرَلَبھاوَں پْرَبودھَیِتُمْ اَہَں دْوِتِییَمْ اِدَں پَتْرَں لِکھامِ۔

to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;

3 پْرَتھَمَں یُشْمابھِرِدَں جْنایَتاں یَتْ شیشے کالے سْویچّھاچارِنو نِنْدَکا اُپَسْتھایَ

knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,

4 وَدِشْیَنْتِ پْرَبھوراگَمَنَسْیَ پْرَتِجْنا کُتْرَ؟ یَتَح پِترِلوکاناں مَہانِدْراگَمَناتْ پَرَں سَرْوّانِ سرِشْٹیرارَمْبھَکالے یَتھا تَتھَیواوَتِشْٹھَنْتے۔

and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus from [the] beginning of [the] creation.

5 پُورْوَّمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ واکْییناکاشَمَنْڈَلَں جَلادْ اُتْپَنّا جَلے سَنْتِشْٹھَمانا چَ پرِتھِوْیَوِدْیَتَیتَدْ اَنِچّھُکَتاتَسْتے نَ جانانْتِ،

For this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God,

6 تَتَسْتاتْکالِکَسَںسارو جَلیناپْلاوِتو وِناشَں گَتَح۔

through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.

7 کِنْتْوَدھُنا وَرْتَّمانے آکاشَبھُومَنْڈَلے تینَیوَ واکْیینَ وَہْنْیَرْتھَں گُپْتے وِچارَدِنَں دُشْٹَمانَواناں وِناشَنْچَ یاوَدْ رَکْشْیَتے۔

But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

8 ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَمْ ایتَدیکَں واکْیَمْ اَنَوَگَتا ما بھَوَتَ یَتْ پْرَبھوح ساکْشادْ دِنَمیکَں وَرْشَسَہَسْرَوَدْ وَرْشَسَہَسْرَنْچَ دِنَیکَوَتْ۔

But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 کیچِدْ یَتھا وِلَمْبَں مَنْیَنْتے تَتھا پْرَبھُح سْوَپْرَتِجْنایاں وِلَمْبَتے تَنَّہِ کِنْتُ کوپِ یَنَّ وِنَشْییتْ سَرْوَّں ایوَ مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَں گَچّھییُرِتْیَبھِلَشَنْ سو سْمانْ پْرَتِ دِیرْگھَسَہِشْنُتاں وِدَدھاتِ۔

[The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 کِنْتُ کْشَپایاں چَورَ اِوَ پْرَبھو رْدِنَمْ آگَمِشْیَتِ تَسْمِنْ مَہاشَبْدینَ گَگَنَمَنْڈَلَں لوپْسْیَتے مُولَوَسْتُونِ چَ تاپینَ گَلِشْیَنْتے پرِتھِوِی تَنْمَدھْیَسْتھِتانِ کَرْمّانِ چَ دھَکْشْیَنْتے۔

But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

11 اَتَح سَرْوَّیریتَے رْوِکارے گَنْتَوْیے سَتِ یَسْمِنْ آکاشَمَنْڈَلَں داہینَ وِکارِشْیَتے مُولَوَسْتُونِ چَ تاپینَ گَلِشْیَنْتی

All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,

12 تَسْییشْوَرَدِنَسْیاگَمَنَں پْرَتِیکْشَمانَیراکانْکْشَمانَیشْچَ یُوشْمابھِ رْدھَرْمّاچاریشْوَرَبھَکْتِبھْیاں کِیدرِشَے رْلوکَے رْبھَوِتَوْیَں؟

waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?

13 تَتھاپِ وَیَں تَسْیَ پْرَتِجْنانُسارینَ دھَرْمَّسْیَ واسَسْتھانَں نُوتَنَمْ آکاشَمَنْڈَلَں نُوتَنَں بھُومَنْڈَلَنْچَ پْرَتِیکْشامَہے۔

But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

14 اَتَایوَ ہے پْرِیَتَماح، تانِ پْرَتِیکْشَمانا یُویَں نِشْکَلَنْکا اَنِنْدِتاشْچَ بھُوتْوا یَتْ شانْتْیاشْرِتاسْتِشْٹھَتھَیتَسْمِنْ یَتَدھْوَں۔

Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;

15 اَسْماکَں پْرَبھو رْدِیرْگھَسَہِشْنُتانْچَ پَرِتْرانَجَنِکاں مَنْیَدھْوَں۔ اَسْماکَں پْرِیَبھْراتْرے پَولایَ یَتْ جْنانَمْ اَدایِ تَدَنُسارینَ سوپِ پَتْرے یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ تَدیوالِکھَتْ۔

and account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him,

16 سْوَکِییَسَرْوَّپَتْریشُ چَیتانْیَدھِ پْرَسْتُتْیَ تَدیوَ گَدَتِ۔ تیشُ پَتْریشُ کَتِپَیانِ دُرُوہْیانِ واکْیانِ وِدْیَنْتے یے چَ لوکا اَجْناناشْچَنْچَلاشْچَ تے نِجَوِناشارْتھَمْ اَنْیَشاسْتْرِییَوَچَنانِیوَ تانْیَپِ وِکارَیَنْتِ۔

as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

17 تَسْمادْ ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَں پُورْوَّں بُدّھوا ساوَدھاناسْتِشْٹھَتَ، اَدھارْمِّکاناں بھْرانْتِسْروتَساپَہرِتاح سْوَکِییَسُسْتھِرَتْواتْ ما بھْرَشْیَتَ۔

Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these] things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness:

18 کِنْتْوَسْماکَں پْرَبھوسْتْراتُ رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیانُگْرَہے جْنانے چَ وَرْدّھَدھْوَں۔ تَسْیَ گَورَوَمْ اِدانِیں سَداکالَنْچَ بھُویاتْ۔ آمینْ۔ (aiōn g165)

but grow in grace, and in [the] knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)

The World is Destroyed by Water
