2 Peter 3

1 Thintlo rhoek, nangmih taengah capat a pabae kan daek coeng he. Te rhoi dongah kopoek a caih la thoelhnah neh nangmih kan haeng.

This second epistle, my beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your sincere mind in remembrance,

2 Tonghma cim rhoek lamkah olka neh khangkung Boeipa kah olpaek te nangmih kah caeltueih rhoek loh a thui te poek.

that ye may be mindful of the words formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: knowing this first,

3 Nangmih taengah, “Khohnin hnukkhueng ah tamdaengkung rhoek om ni, amih te hoehhamnah ah hlangrhong la pongpa uh,” a ti uh.

that there will come in the last days scoffers,

4 Te vaengah amah a lonah olkhueh tah melam a om?” a ti. Pa rhoek aka ip uh parhi te a cungkuem tah suentae a tongnah lamkah bangla nguel coeng.

walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the declaration of his coming? for except that the fathers are fallen asleep, all things remain as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5 He tah amih loh phah a ngaih uh. Vaan tah ana om daengrhae tih tui lamloh diklai ana om ta. Te vaengah tui dong lamloh Pathen kah ol ana tueng ta.

For they are willingly ignorant of this, that by the Word of God the heavens were made of old, and the earth too from the water, and subsisting on the water.

6 Diklai tah tui nen te a lii tih a thup uh.

Whence the old world being drowned in water perished.

7 Tedae vaan neh diklai tah ol neh amah la a tung hmai dongkah la om coeng. Baltalh hlang rhoek kah laitloeknah neh pocinah khohnin ham khaw a tuem pah coeng.

But the heavens and the earth, that now are, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire on the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men.

8 Tedae he tah pakhat long khaw nangmih taengah phah boel saeh. Thintlo rhoek aw, khohnin pakhat he Boeipa taengah tah kum thawngkhat bangla, kum thawngkhat khaw hnin at bangla om.

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 Boeipa loh olkhueh ham a hnong moenih. A ngen loh a hnong bangla a poek uh. Tedae nangmih taengah a thinsen. Pakhat khaw thup ham pawt tih yutnah dongla boeih ael sak a ngaih.

The Lord is not slow as to his promise (as some count it slowness) but is long-suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 Tedae Boeipa kah khohnin loh hlanghuen bangla ha pawk ni. Te vaengah vaan tah khum khungdaeng ni. A niing khaw ung vetih hmata ni. Diklai neh a khuikah bibi khaw phoe ni.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burnt up.

11 A cungkuem he a hlam tangloeng coeng. A cim omih neh hingcimnah dongah nangmih te metla om nim a kuek?

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,

12 Pathen kah a khohnin a lonah te lamtawn uh lamtah rhingda uh. Te kongah vaan ke a rhoh vetih a hlak ni. A niing khaw ung vetih tlae ni.

expecting and hastening on the coming of the day of God, whereby the heavens being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the burning elements shall be melted.

13 Tedae a olkhueh vanbangla vaan thai neh diklai thai n'lamtawn uh. Te ah ni duengnah loh kho a sak.

But we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth.

14 Te dongah thintlo rhoek, hekah he aka lamtawn loh a cuemhmuet neh hmabuet la amah te ngaimongnah neh hmuh ham haam uh lah.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye expect these things, give diligence to be found of Him in peace, spotless and blameless;

15 Te dongah mamih boeipa kah thinsennah, khangnah te poek uh. Mamih kah manuca thintlo Paul long khaw a taengah a paek cueihnah tarhingah nangmih ham a daek coeng.

and account the long-suffering of our Lord salvation, as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written unto you;

16 He kawng he amih taengah capat neh boeih a thui van coeng. Te khuiah olkael bet om. Te te lunghmang neh yutho rhoek loh a tloe cacim bangla amah ah a pocinah la a vil uh.

as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things: in which are some things hard to be understood, which the illiterate and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

17 Te dongah nangmih thintlo rhoek tah ming lamtah khoembael uh. Te daengah ni cungpoeh halang rhoek kah tholhhiknah dongah na rhoihbaih uh tih na thincaknah te na hlong uh pawt eh.

Do ye therefore, beloved, as ye know these things before, take heed least being seduced together with them by the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness.

18 Tedae mamih Boeipa neh khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah neh mingnah dongah rhoeng uh. Thangpomnah tah amah taengah kumhal tue duela om pawn saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: to Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

The World is Destroyed by Water
