2 Bitrus 3

1 Nene, In nyerten minu, anan su nayi ning, kongo kubaga ni nyerte kun ba kunan ghantina nibinai nicine mine,

I write to you now this second letter, beloved, in which I arouse your sincere mind by a reminder,

2 bara inan lizino ulirue na iwa belin minu uworsu tinuu na nan nliru nin nuu Kutelle mbeleng ndukan Cikilari nin nan tucu unuzun nono kadura fe.

to remember the sayings that were earlier spoken by the holy prophets, and of the command of your apostles of the Lord and Savior.

3 Tun yinnon ilele, anan rusuzu kiti ma dak ida rusuzu minu nan nya nayiru nimalin, ima dortu imon ntok nibinai mine,

Knowing this first, that there will come at the end of the days, scoffers, proceeding according to their own desires,

4 ima woru, “Ani uciu nliru nkuru nkpillu me din we? A cif bite na kuzu, ama imon du nafo ubur nu nkye in yie.”

and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For, from since the fathers became asleep, all things continue this way from the beginning of creation.

5 Ina shawa ilele nin su nibinai mine, nworu i wa kye kitene kane nin kutyin ne unuzu nan nya nmyenari nin myen, uworsu, nin liri nnuu Kutelle,

For this is willfully ignored by them, that long ago there were heavens, and an earth that came together out of water and by water by the word of God,

6 a ubellu nnuu me nin myen uyie kubi kone, nmyen wa hiru, uwa nana.

by which the world then perished, having been overflowed with water.

7 Kitene kane urume, ina ceo bara ula unuzuri bellun nliru urume, ina ceo bara lirin shara nin molu na nan salin dortu Kutelle.

But now the heavens and the earth, which have been stored up by the same word, are being preserved for fire in a day of judgment and destruction of irreverent men.

8 Na ulele nwa nuzu nibinai mine ba, anan su nayi ning, liri lirun kiti Ncikilare masin akus limui yari, a akus limui nafo liri lirun mari.

But beloved, let not this one thing be ignored by you, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 Na Cikilare di shankalong nbelen nciu nliri me ba, nafo na among din su adi shankalong, ama adi nin kune kuneari nin ghinu. Na adi nin su umon mine nana ba, ama adi nin su ani kubi nwooru vat sun alapi mine.

The Lord is not slack about his promise, as some regard slackness, but is patient toward us, not wanting any to perish, but all to go forward to repentance.

10 Vat nani, liri Ncikilare din cinu na udak nkiri. Kiitene Kutelle ma katu nin liwui ligberere. Imon vat ima juju nin la, uyie nin nitwa nnin ima su unin ushara.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, during which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, being intensely hot, will be disintegrated, and the earth and the works in it will be destroyed by fire.

11 Andi ima musuzu imon ilele vat nane, imus na yapin anitari i kamata i yita? bara lissosin lilau nin katwa kacine.

Therefore, all these things being disintegrated, what kind ought ye to be in holy actions and pieties,

12 Tizan mas nan nya nca liri Kutelle, na kitene Kutelle ima juju nin la a vat nimon ile na idiku ma nutuzu nin piu nle.

anticipating and hastening the coming of the day of God, by which the heavens, being made fiery hot, will be disintegrated, and the elements dissolve, being intensely hot?

13 Vat nani, nan tissu uca Kutelle kupesse nin yii upesse na ana ceo nari uliru mun, ulenge na anan katwa kacine ma so ku.

But we anticipate a new heavens and a new earth according to his promise, in which righteousness dwells.

14 Bara nani, anan su kibinai ning, tun da na idin ca nile imone, yitan nin kanyir kang ise minu na nin na lap sa ndinong ba, inin se minu issosin mang nan ghe.

Therefore, beloved, anticipating these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, without spot and blameless.

15 Yiran ayi asheu Ncikilari bite, unan kadura Kutelle Bulus na nyerten minu, nan nya kujinjing ko na iwa nighe.

And consider the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him,

16 Bulus nasu uliru nilenge imone nan nya ninyerte me vat, nan nya imong imon na yitu nin likara nworu iyining. Ale na nono katwa wari ba a na nibinai mine di kiti kirum ba ma shogulu ile imone, nafo na ina su umong uliru Kutelle udu ukul mine.

as also in all his letters, speaking in them about these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist, as also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

17 Bara nani, anan su kibinai ning, tun da na iyiru ile imone, minon ati mine gegeme bara iwa wulttun minu nin liru kinu na nan salin lanzu fiu kutelle i fillo un min uyinnu sa nyenue.

Ye therefore, beloved, knowing in advance, keep watch, lest, having accommodated to the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own steadfastness.

18 Ama kunjon nan nya nbolu Kutelle nin yirun Ncikilari bite a unan tucu biite Yisa Kristi. Na ngongong so min me nene udi duru saligang. Uso nani! (aiōn g165)

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him is the glory both now and into the day of the age. Truly. (aiōn g165)

The World is Destroyed by Water
