2 Bitrus 3
1 Nene, In nyerten minu, anan su nayi ning, kongo kubaga ni nyerte kun ba kunan ghantina nibinai nicine mine,
THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
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.
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
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 shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
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 since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the 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 they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 a ubellu nnuu me nin myen uyie kubi kone, nmyen wa hiru, uwa nana.
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
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 the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition 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.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord 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 concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should 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 as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Andi ima musuzu imon ilele vat nane, imus na yapin anitari i kamata i yita? bara lissosin lilau nin katwa kacine.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation 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.
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent 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.
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
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.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of 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 account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
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 epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto 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, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
