2 Bitrus 3
1 Nene, In nyerten minu, anan su nayi ning, kongo kubaga ni nyerte kun ba kunan ghantina nibinai nicine mine,
This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
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 you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the 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,
knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and 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, from the day that 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 willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
6 a ubellu nnuu me nin myen uyie kubi kone, nmyen wa hiru, uwa nana.
by which means the world that then was, being deluged with water, was destroyed.
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 that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
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 do not forget this one thing, beloved, 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 slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient toward you, not wishing 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 which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works on it will not be found.
11 Andi ima musuzu imon ilele vat nane, imus na yapin anitari i kamata i yita? bara lissosin lilau nin katwa kacine.
Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living 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 earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will 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.
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, 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, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish 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.
Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to 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 of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to 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.
You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
