2 Peter 3
1 This, dear friends, is my second letter to you. In both of them I have tried, by appealing to your remembrance, to arouse your better feelings.
Toronoo susue nggara e! Ia, au susura karua ngga fee neu nggi. Sia susura karuaꞌ ia ra, au fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu nggi, fo hei bisa dudꞌuꞌa soꞌal dala ndoo-tetuꞌ.
2 I want you to recall what was foretold by the holy prophets, as well as the command of our Lord and Saviour given to you through your apostles.
Misinedꞌa Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola meumare dalahulu nara dedꞌea oꞌola nara. Misinedꞌa Yesus dedꞌenu nara boe. Misinedꞌa malolole soꞌal saa fo hita Lamatuan parenda se fo rafadꞌe nggi. Te Eni mana fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu nggi mia sala-kiluꞌ ra!
3 First be assured of this, that, as the age draws to an end, scoffers, led by their own passions,
Misinedꞌa taꞌo ia: mae raefafoꞌ nda feꞌe nateteꞌe sa, te hambu mana maꞌaeꞌeiꞌ mana tao leli tunggaꞌ a hihii-nanau nara. Ara olaꞌ raꞌamuti basa dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra.
4 will come and ask scoffingly – “Where is his promised coming? Ever since our ancestors passed to their rest, everything remains just as it was when the world was first created!”
Ara olaꞌ rae, “Cii! Yesus helu-fuli nae, Eni nae baliꞌ nema, do? Mete ma taꞌo naa, na, Ana sia bee? Huu eniꞌ a mia hita bei-baꞌi nara mate, losa ia nema, basaꞌ e feꞌe naa ena. Basaꞌ e laoꞌ nekendoo, eniꞌ a Lamatuaꞌ naꞌadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ.”
5 For they wilfully shut their eyes to the fact that long ago the heavens existed; and the earth, also – formed out of water and by the action of water, by the fiat of God;
Te hambu dalaꞌ esa fo atahori mana peko-lelekoꞌ ra nda nau rasanedꞌa sa. Naeni, mia fefeun Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ a, ma lalai dadꞌi neuꞌ ena. Ma Lamatuaꞌ tao oe boe. Basa ma Ana tadꞌa-banggi oe mia rae madꞌaꞌ, ma tao rae madꞌaꞌ sou mia oeꞌ a. Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ taꞌo bee, na, naa o dadꞌi boe. Dodꞌoo ma, Lamatuaꞌ tao nalutu basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia fo mana rasodꞌa mia baꞌi Noh lelen, nendiꞌ oe mandali monaeꞌ. Te leleꞌ ia, Lamatuaꞌ nafadꞌe memaꞌ saa fo Eni nau tao soaꞌ neu lalai no raefafoꞌ. Leleꞌ ia Ana feꞌe naꞌatataaꞌ, te dei fo losa fain, Ana nae hotu hendi se. Te dei fo Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌa huku-dꞌokiꞌ fo nalutu atahori nda mana nau tao afiꞌ neu Eni sa. Mae taꞌo naa o, atahori mana peko-lelekoꞌ ra nda nau rasanedꞌa sa rae, Dei fo Lamatualain tao tungga saa fo Eni olaꞌ ena.
6 and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed in a deluge of water.
7 But the present heavens and earth, by the same fiat, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the day of the judgment and destruction of the godless.
8 But you, dear friends, must never shut your eyes to the fact that, to the Lord, one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Toronoo susue ngga re! Afi liliiꞌ dalaꞌ ia, naeni, hita Lamatuan nda ito-reken fai ra onaꞌ hita sa. Te tungga Eni, fai esa bisa dadꞌi too rifon sa. Ma too rifon sa bisa dadꞌi fai esa.
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfil his promise, as some count slowness; but he is forbearing with you, as it is not his will that any of you should perish, but that all should be brought to repentance.
Mete ma hita Lamatuan helu-fuli nae tao dalaꞌ esa, na, Ana tao nandaa no fain, nda nahani sa. Hambu atahori ruma duꞌa rae Ana ue-tao babꞌanggo. Tao-tao te hokoꞌ! Te Ana naꞌatataaꞌ, fo nahani fain dei. Hita Lamatuan nau fo basa atahori doaꞌ dei, fo lao hela sala-kilu nara, ma heoꞌ baliꞌ tungga Eni. Huu Ana nda nau atahori nenesaranggaaꞌ mia Eni sa.
10 The day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that day the heavens will pass away with a crash, the elements will be burnt up and dissolved, and the earth and all that is in it will be disclosed.
Te mete ma hita Lamatuan baliꞌ nema na, nda hambu atahori rahine memaꞌ sa. Te neneman naa, aibꞌoiꞌ ona naꞌo esa masoꞌ ume rala neu. Leleꞌ naa, basa saa mana sia lalai a kadꞌe hendi se, onaꞌ relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ ra. Basaꞌ e basa! Onaꞌ naa boe, raefafoꞌ no basa isi oen. Kadꞌe hendi se!
11 Now, since all these things are in the process of dissolution, think what you yourselves ought to be – what holy and pious lives you ought to lead,
Dadꞌi mete ma basa e kadꞌe hendi se onaꞌ naa, na, hei musi dadꞌi atahori onaꞌ bee fai? Hei musi mimbiriiꞌ mihereꞌ fo misodꞌa tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. Hei musi misodꞌa meumareꞌ.
12 while you wait for the coming of the day of God and strive to make it come soon. At its coming the heavens will be dissolved in fire, and the elements melted by heat,
Hei musi mihani mikindoo Lamatuaꞌ neneman. Dadꞌi hei musi mimihereꞌ fo tao fain nema lalai leo. Leleꞌ naa, kadꞌe hendi lalai boe. Ma basa saa-saa sia lalai ra o nene lalangge hendiꞌ de noe hendi se.
13 but we look for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will have its home, in fulfilment of the promise of God.
Te dei fo hambu lalai mata feuꞌ no raefafo mata feuꞌ boe. Lamatualain helu-fuli taꞌo naa ena, ma naa saa fo hita tahaniꞌ a. Sia naa hambuꞌ a atahori mana rasodꞌa ndoos ra.
14 Therefore, dear friends, in expectation of these things, make every effort to be found by him spotless, blameless, and at peace.
De toronoo susue nggare! Leleꞌ hei mihani dalaꞌ ia ra, hei musi mihehere fo dadꞌi atahori maloleꞌ, tungga Lamatuaꞌ nilen. No taꞌo naa, nda hambu atahori bisa fua salaꞌ neu nggi sa. Mimihere fo misodꞌa badꞌame boe.
15 Regard our Lord’s forbearance as your one hope of salvation. This is what our dear friend Paul wrote to you, with the wisdom that God gave him.
Te hita Lamatuan naa naꞌatataaꞌ, naa fo Ana bisa fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu nggi mia sala-kilu mara. Naa, hita toronoon Paulus sura fee nggi soꞌal dalaꞌ hetar mana ona esaꞌ, to? Lamatuaꞌ mana fee ne nahine taꞌo naa, naa de ana sura taꞌo naa boe.
16 It is the same in all his letters, when he speaks in them about these subjects. There are some things in them difficult to understand, which untaught and weak people distort, just as they do all other writings, to their own ruin.
Leleꞌ Paulus suraꞌ susura esa, ana o olaꞌ dalaꞌ ia ra boe. Mia susura nara, memaꞌ hambu dala ruma fo hita susa tahine masud na. Ma hambu atahori tao oꞌoheheoꞌ Paulus masud na boe. Ara o tao oꞌoheheoꞌ dalaꞌ laen sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren boe. Sira, naeni atahori manamberaꞌ ra, ma atahori fo nemeheren nda manggateeꞌ sa. Atahori mataꞌ naa ra, dei fo lutuꞌ-etoꞌ nala se.
17 You must, therefore, dear friends, now that you know this beforehand, be on your guard against being led away by the errors of reckless people, and so lapsing from your present steadfastness;
Toronoo susue nggare! Hei mihine meser mana peko-lelekoꞌ naa ra dala masodꞌa nara ena. De besa-bꞌesa, o! Te ara nda nau rena hohoro-lalaneꞌ saa sa boe. Ara sobꞌa peko-lelekoꞌ nggi, naa fo ama dinggo lao hela dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a. Te afi hela se rasenggiꞌ nggi taꞌo naa. Huu naa de ama musi miꞌitataaꞌ mihereꞌ.
18 and advance in the love and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. All glory be to him now and for ever. (aiōn g165)
Malole lena, hei nemehere mara mori nekendoo. Huu hei mihine hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus ena, mana fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita mia sala-kilu tara. Ana nau natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggi. Ma Ana o nau fo mihine E no maloleꞌ lenaꞌ fai. Au nau fo basa atahori soꞌu rananaru E, mia leleꞌ ia losa doo nduꞌu-doon neu. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ Petrus (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
