2 Peter 3

1 Ka it te awng, tu in hi laithak ni na sia, note kung ah kong at hi; ka laithak a nina sung ah a thiangtho na thinsung uh phawk tawntungna taw in kong hanthawn hi:

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 Kamsang thiangtho te in tanglai a sonkholsa thu te le ko sawltak te zang in Topa le Ngumpa i thupitna sia phawktawntung tu in ka at a hihi:

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 Hi tu sia amasabel in heak tu a hihi, ni tawpkhak ni ciang in ngual nu nau thei te hongpai tu a, amate i cilesa deina bang in nungta uh hi,

knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and walking after their own lusts,

4 Taciang amate in, hongpai kik tu thu hong kamciam pa koisung ah om ziam? banghangziam cile i pu le i pa te a mut zawk uh bitphuana a kipatcil pan kipan in na theampo sia ama ngeina bang in om nginge hi, ci hi.

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 Banghangziam cile Pathian thu tungtawn in vantung om a, leitung zong tui sung pan le tuisung ah om hi ci thu sia, a he ngawl bang in a om uh hang a hihi:

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 Tabang in leitung sia tui taw khu a, susia siat hi:

by which means the world that then was, being deluged with water, was destroyed.

7 Ahihang tu hun in a om vantung le leitung sia Pathian he ngawl te thukhenna le suksiatna ni in mei taw hal tu in a khetlai a hihi.

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 Ahizong ka it te awng, Topa mai ah nikhat sia kum tulkhat bang a hihi, taciang kum tulkhat sia nikhat bang a hihi, ci thu khat sia mangil heak vun.

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 Mi pawlkhat te in a kamciam taw kisai in Topa sia haisang mama hi, ci in ngaisun napi, zuanhai ngawl hi, ahihang khatbeak zong mangthang ngawl tu le mi theampo ki sikkikna ah theng tu a dei hu in thinsautak in hong ngak hi.

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 Ahizong Topa nisia zan ciang in nguta bang in hong theng tu hi; tua ni sia vantung ah aw nging mama taw bo tu a, taciang piansak nate theampo zong a satlei hu in tui siat hi, leitung le a sung a om piansak nate theampo zong kang siat tu hi.

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 Hi te theampo bosiat tu ahi hu in, a thiangtho nuntakzia le Pathian mi hina taw na nuntak tu uh hi ngawl ziam?

Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

12 Vantung sia mei in kang in bo tu a, van ah a ki omsak theampo zong a satlei hu in tui siat tu hi, tua Pathian ni hong thet tu sia lawptak in na ngak vun.

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 Ahihang eite sia, ama kamciam bang in thutang suana om na mun vanthak le leithak i en tek hi.

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

14 Tua ahikom, ka it te awng, tabang nate na lamet uh hu in, Ama in note sia thinnopna, a niin bang ngawl le paubang ngawl in hong mu thei natu in hanciam tavun.

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.

15 Ka it ka suapui pa Paul in Pathian i piak ciimna taw note tung ah a at na sung ah a om bang in, Topa sia eite ngupna atu in a thinsau mama hi;

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 Ama laithak theampo sung ah, a tel haksa thu pawlkhat om hi, lai sin ngawl te le a kho ngawl te in laithiangtho dang sung ah mihing te in a khiakna khial in a telkhial uh bang in, amate le amate ki suksiat na suak tawntung hi.

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 Tua ahikom ka it te awng, mihing pha ngawl te in a khialna taw hong makai ngawl in, note a kip a kho mun pan in na pu thei ngawl natu in, hi thu te hong hesak zo ahikom kidawm in om tavun.

You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.

18 Ahihang hesuakna sung ah ahizong, ka Topa le Ngumpa Jesus Christ heakna sung ah ahizong in, khang tavun. Ama tung ah minthanna sia tu le a tawntung in om paisuak tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua Meshikha. To him be the glory both now and forever. (aiōn g165)

The World is Destroyed by Water
