2 Bitrus 3
1 Nene, In nyerten minu, anan su nayi ning, kongo kubaga ni nyerte kun ba kunan ghantina nibinai nicine mine,
Beloved, this is now my second letter to you. Both of them are reminders to stir you to wholesome thinking
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.
by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3 Tun yinnon ilele, anan rusuzu kiti ma dak ida rusuzu minu nan nya nayiru nimalin, ima dortu imon ntok nibinai mine,
Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil 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.”
“Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has 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,
But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
6 a ubellu nnuu me nin myen uyie kubi kone, nmyen wa hiru, uwa nana.
through which the world of that time perished in the flood.
7 Kitene kane urume, ina ceo bara ula unuzuri bellun nliru urume, ina ceo bara lirin shara nin molu na nan salin dortu Kutelle.
And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly 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.
Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a 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 slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come 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 like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.
11 Andi ima musuzu imon ilele vat nane, imus na yapin anitari i kamata i yita? bara lissosin lilau nin katwa kacine.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness
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.
as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.
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 in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where 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, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace—spotless and blameless in His sight.
15 Yiran ayi asheu Ncikilari bite, unan kadura Kutelle Bulus na nyerten minu, nan nya kujinjing ko na iwa nighe.
Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave 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.
He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the 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.
Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.
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 be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
