۲ پِتَرَح 3
| ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَں یَتھا پَوِتْرَبھَوِشْیَدْوَکْترِبھِح پُورْوّوکْتانِ واکْیانِ تْراتْرا پْرَبھُنا پْریرِتانامْ اَسْماکَمْ آدیشَنْچَ سارَتھَ تَتھا یُشْمانْ سْمارَیِتْوا | 1 |
This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you
| یُشْماکَں سَرَلَبھاوَں پْرَبودھَیِتُمْ اَہَں دْوِتِییَمْ اِدَں پَتْرَں لِکھامِ۔ | 2 |
that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
| پْرَتھَمَں یُشْمابھِرِدَں جْنایَتاں یَتْ شیشے کالے سْویچّھاچارِنو نِنْدَکا اُپَسْتھایَ | 3 |
knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
| وَدِشْیَنْتِ پْرَبھوراگَمَنَسْیَ پْرَتِجْنا کُتْرَ؟ یَتَح پِترِلوکاناں مَہانِدْراگَمَناتْ پَرَں سَرْوّانِ سرِشْٹیرارَمْبھَکالے یَتھا تَتھَیواوَتِشْٹھَنْتے۔ | 4 |
and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
| پُورْوَّمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ واکْییناکاشَمَنْڈَلَں جَلادْ اُتْپَنّا جَلے سَنْتِشْٹھَمانا چَ پرِتھِوْیَوِدْیَتَیتَدْ اَنِچّھُکَتاتَسْتے نَ جانانْتِ، | 5 |
For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,
| تَتَسْتاتْکالِکَسَںسارو جَلیناپْلاوِتو وِناشَں گَتَح۔ | 6 |
by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
| کِنْتْوَدھُنا وَرْتَّمانے آکاشَبھُومَنْڈَلے تینَیوَ واکْیینَ وَہْنْیَرْتھَں گُپْتے وِچارَدِنَں دُشْٹَمانَواناں وِناشَنْچَ یاوَدْ رَکْشْیَتے۔ | 7 |
But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
| ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَمْ ایتَدیکَں واکْیَمْ اَنَوَگَتا ما بھَوَتَ یَتْ پْرَبھوح ساکْشادْ دِنَمیکَں وَرْشَسَہَسْرَوَدْ وَرْشَسَہَسْرَنْچَ دِنَیکَوَتْ۔ | 8 |
But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
| کیچِدْ یَتھا وِلَمْبَں مَنْیَنْتے تَتھا پْرَبھُح سْوَپْرَتِجْنایاں وِلَمْبَتے تَنَّہِ کِنْتُ کوپِ یَنَّ وِنَشْییتْ سَرْوَّں ایوَ مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَں گَچّھییُرِتْیَبھِلَشَنْ سو سْمانْ پْرَتِ دِیرْگھَسَہِشْنُتاں وِدَدھاتِ۔ | 9 |
The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
| کِنْتُ کْشَپایاں چَورَ اِوَ پْرَبھو رْدِنَمْ آگَمِشْیَتِ تَسْمِنْ مَہاشَبْدینَ گَگَنَمَنْڈَلَں لوپْسْیَتے مُولَوَسْتُونِ چَ تاپینَ گَلِشْیَنْتے پرِتھِوِی تَنْمَدھْیَسْتھِتانِ کَرْمّانِ چَ دھَکْشْیَنْتے۔ | 10 |
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 be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
| اَتَح سَرْوَّیریتَے رْوِکارے گَنْتَوْیے سَتِ یَسْمِنْ آکاشَمَنْڈَلَں داہینَ وِکارِشْیَتے مُولَوَسْتُونِ چَ تاپینَ گَلِشْیَنْتی | 11 |
Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
| تَسْییشْوَرَدِنَسْیاگَمَنَں پْرَتِیکْشَمانَیراکانْکْشَمانَیشْچَ یُوشْمابھِ رْدھَرْمّاچاریشْوَرَبھَکْتِبھْیاں کِیدرِشَے رْلوکَے رْبھَوِتَوْیَں؟ | 12 |
looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
| تَتھاپِ وَیَں تَسْیَ پْرَتِجْنانُسارینَ دھَرْمَّسْیَ واسَسْتھانَں نُوتَنَمْ آکاشَمَنْڈَلَں نُوتَنَں بھُومَنْڈَلَنْچَ پْرَتِیکْشامَہے۔ | 13 |
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
| اَتَایوَ ہے پْرِیَتَماح، تانِ پْرَتِیکْشَمانا یُویَں نِشْکَلَنْکا اَنِنْدِتاشْچَ بھُوتْوا یَتْ شانْتْیاشْرِتاسْتِشْٹھَتھَیتَسْمِنْ یَتَدھْوَں۔ | 14 |
Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
| اَسْماکَں پْرَبھو رْدِیرْگھَسَہِشْنُتانْچَ پَرِتْرانَجَنِکاں مَنْیَدھْوَں۔ اَسْماکَں پْرِیَبھْراتْرے پَولایَ یَتْ جْنانَمْ اَدایِ تَدَنُسارینَ سوپِ پَتْرے یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ تَدیوالِکھَتْ۔ | 15 |
Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,
| سْوَکِییَسَرْوَّپَتْریشُ چَیتانْیَدھِ پْرَسْتُتْیَ تَدیوَ گَدَتِ۔ تیشُ پَتْریشُ کَتِپَیانِ دُرُوہْیانِ واکْیانِ وِدْیَنْتے یے چَ لوکا اَجْناناشْچَنْچَلاشْچَ تے نِجَوِناشارْتھَمْ اَنْیَشاسْتْرِییَوَچَنانِیوَ تانْیَپِ وِکارَیَنْتِ۔ | 16 |
as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
| تَسْمادْ ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَں پُورْوَّں بُدّھوا ساوَدھاناسْتِشْٹھَتَ، اَدھارْمِّکاناں بھْرانْتِسْروتَساپَہرِتاح سْوَکِییَسُسْتھِرَتْواتْ ما بھْرَشْیَتَ۔ | 17 |
You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
The Great Flood
