2 Pedro 3
1 Maiteác, ia bigarren epistola haur scribatzen drauçuet, ceinez iratzartzen baitut aduertimenduz çuen adimendu chahua.
Beloved, this is now the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them they are reminders to stir up your sincere mind,
2 Orhoit caretencát Propheta sainduéz aitzinetic erran içan diraden, hitzéz, eta gure manamenduaz, cein baicara Iaunarén eta Saluadorearen Apostolu.
so that you will recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
3 Haur lehenic daquiçuelaric: ecen ethorriren diradela azqueneco egunetan truffariac, bere guthicia proprién araura ebilten diradela.
Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days. They will mock and proceed according to their own desires.
4 Eta dioitela, Non da haren aduenimenduco promessa? ecen Aitác lokartu içan diradenaz gueroztic, gauça guciéc hunela continuatzen duté creationearen hatseandanic.
They will say, “Where is the promise of his return? From when our fathers fell asleep, all things have stayed the same, since 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.
They willfully forget that the heavens and the earth came to exist out of water and through water, long ago, by God's command,
6 Halacotz orduco mundua vr dilubio batez estali içanic galdu içan da.
and that through these things, the world of that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
7 Baina orain diraden ceruäc eta lurra hitz beraz reseruaturic suco beguiratzen dirade iudicioaren eta guiçon gaichtoén destructionearen eguneco.
But now the heavens and the earth are reserved for fire by that same command. They are reserved for the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
8 Baina hunez etzaretela ignorant, maiteác, ecen egun-bat Iauna beithan milla vrthe beçala, eta milla vrthe egun-bat beçala diradela.
It should not escape your notice, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like 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 does not move slowly concerning his promises, as some consider slowness to be. Instead, he is patient toward you. He does not desire for any of you to perish, but for everyone to make room for repentance.
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.
However, the day of the Lord will come as a thief: The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The elements will be burned with fire, and the earth and the deeds in it will be revealed.
11 Beraz gauça hauc guciac deseguin behar diradenaren gainean, nolaco behar duçue içan conuersatione saindutan eta pietatezco obratan?
Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? You should live holy and godly lives.
12 Beguira çaudetela, eta lehiatzen çaretela Iaincoaren egunaren aduenimendura, ceinetan ceruäc irachequiric deseguinen baitirade, eta elementac beroz vrthuren?
You should expect and hasten the coming of the day of God. On that day, the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will be melted in great heat.
13 Baina promessaren araura ceru berrién eta lur berriaren beguira gaude ceinétan iustitia habitatzen baita.
But according to his promise, we are waiting for the new heavens and the new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
14 Halacotz, maiteác, gauça hauén beguira çaudetela, diligentia eçarçue macula gabe eta reprotchu gabe harçaz eriden çaitezten baquerequin.
Therefore, beloved, since you expect these things, do your best to be found spotless and blameless before him, 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:
Also, consider the patience of our Lord to be salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom that was given to him.
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.
Paul speaks of these things in all his letters, in which there are things that are difficult to understand. Ignorant and unstable men distort these things, as they also do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Çuec beraz, maiteác, engoitic aduertituac çaretenaz gueroztic, beguirauçue abominablén enganioz bercéquin eraman içanic, çuen fermetatetic eror etzaitezten.
Therefore, beloved, since you know about these things beforehand, guard yourselves so that you are not led astray by the deceit of lawless people and you lose your own faithfulness.
18 Baina auança çaitezte Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren eta Saluadorearen gratián eta eçagutzean: ceini dela gloria orain eta eternitateco egunerano. Amen. (aiōn g165)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the glory be to him both now and forever. Amen! (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
