2 Pedro 3

1 Maiteác, ia bigarren epistola haur scribatzen drauçuet, ceinez iratzartzen baitut aduertimenduz çuen adimendu chahua.

This, already, beloved, is the second letter I am writing unto you; and, in these letters, I am stirring up—by way of calling to remembrance—your uncorrupted mind,

2 Orhoit caretencát Propheta sainduéz aitzinetic erran içan diraden, hitzéz, eta gure manamenduaz, cein baicara Iaunarén eta Saluadorearen Apostolu.

To remember the fore-spoken declarations made by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour, by your apostles.

3 Haur lehenic daquiçuelaric: ecen ethorriren diradela azqueneco egunetan truffariac, bere guthicia proprién araura ebilten diradela.

Of this, first, taking note—that there will come, in the last of the days, with scoffing, scoffers, after their own covetings, going on,

4 Eta dioitela, Non da haren aduenimenduco promessa? ecen Aitác lokartu içan diradenaz gueroztic, gauça guciéc hunela continuatzen duté creationearen hatseandanic.

and saying—Where is the promise of his presence? For, since the fathers fell asleep, all things, thus remain, from the beginning of creation.

5 Ecen haur bere nahiz ignoratzen duté, nola ceruèc lehenagodanic bere içatea vkan dutén, eta lurrac consistitzen celaric vr barnean eta vr artean, Iaincoaren hitzaz.

For this they, willfully, forget—that there were, heavens, from of old, and, an earth, on account of water and by means of water, compacted, by God’s word, —

6 Halacotz orduco mundua vr dilubio batez estali içanic galdu içan da.

By which means, the world that then was, with water being flooded, perished;

7 Baina orain diraden ceruäc eta lurra hitz beraz reseruaturic suco beguiratzen dirade iudicioaren eta guiçon gaichtoén destructionearen eguneco.

While, the heavens and the earth that now are, by the same word, have been stored with fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly men.

8 Baina hunez etzaretela ignorant, maiteác, ecen egun-bat Iauna beithan milla vrthe beçala, eta milla vrthe egun-bat beçala diradela.

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

9 Eztu berancen promettatu duen Iaunac (batzuc berance estimatzen duten beçala) baina patient da guregana, ez nahiz nehor gal dadin, baina guciac emendamendutara datocen.

The Lord is, not slack, concerning his promise, as some count, slackness; but is long-suffering with regard to you, not being minded that any should perish, but that, all, unto repentance, should come.

10 Baina ethorriren da Iaunaren eguna, ohoina gauaz beçala, ceinetan ceruäc habarrotsequin iraganen baitirade: eta elementac beroz deseguinen dirade, eta lurra, eta hartaco obra guciac choil erreren dirade.

Howbeit the day of the Lord will be here, as a thief, —in which, the heavens, with a rushing noise, will pass away, while, elements, becoming intensely hot, will be dissolved, and, earth, and the works therein, will be discovered.

11 Beraz gauça hauc guciac deseguin behar diradenaren gainean, nolaco behar duçue içan conuersatione saindutan eta pietatezco obratan?

Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons, ought [ye] all the while to be, in holy ways of behaviour and acts of godliness, —

12 Beguira çaudetela, eta lehiatzen çaretela Iaincoaren egunaren aduenimendura, ceinetan ceruäc irachequiric deseguinen baitirade, eta elementac beroz vrthuren?

Expecting and hastening the presence of the day of God, by reason of which, heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and, elements, becoming intensely hot, are to be melted;

13 Baina promessaren araura ceru berrién eta lur berriaren beguira gaude ceinétan iustitia habitatzen baita.

But, new heavens, and a new earth, according to his promise, are we expecting, wherein, righteousness, is to dwell.

14 Halacotz, maiteác, gauça hauén beguira çaudetela, diligentia eçarçue macula gabe eta reprotchu gabe harçaz eriden çaitezten baquerequin.

Wherefore, beloved, these things, expecting—give diligence, unspotted and unblemished, by him, to be found, in peace;

15 Eta gure Iaunaren patientiá saluamendu estima eçaçue: Paul gure anaye maiteac-ere hari eman içan çayón sapientiaren araura scribatu vkan drauçuen beçala:

And account, our Lord’s long suffering, [to be] salvation: —even as, our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you;

16 Quasi bere epistola gucietan nola punctu hauçaz minço baita: ceinétan baitirade batzu aditzeco gaitzic, ignorantéc eta fermetate gabéc makurtzen dituztenic, berce Scripturac-ere beçala, bere buruén destructionetan.

As also, in all letters, speaking in them concerning these things, —in which [letters] are some things, hard to be understood, which, the uninstructed and unstable, wrest, —as also the other scriptures, —unto their own destruction.

17 Çuec beraz, maiteác, engoitic aduertituac çaretenaz gueroztic, beguirauçue abominablén enganioz bercéquin eraman içanic, çuen fermetatetic eror etzaitezten.

Ye, therefore, beloved, taking note beforehand, be on your guard, lest, with the error of the impious being led away, ye fall from your own steadfastness;

18 Baina auança çaitezte Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren eta Saluadorearen gratián eta eçagutzean: ceini dela gloria orain eta eternitateco egunerano. Amen. (aiōn g165)

But be growing in the favour and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: —unto whom be the glory, both now and unto a day that abideth. (aiōn g165)

The World is Destroyed by Water
