2 Peter 3
1 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
ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ. ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲉϯⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϯⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲣ̅ⲡϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲏⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
4 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.”
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ϫⲓⲛⲧⲁⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅.
5 For 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,
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲏⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲱⲙⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
7 But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
ⲍ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ̅. ⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ.
8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϩⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
ⲑ̅ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲱⲥⲕ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲥⲕ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣϣ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲉⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, 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 that are in it will be burned up.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ. ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲓⲉ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
12 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?
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲱⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ. ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧϫⲱϩⲙ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ.
15 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,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲉⲛⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ.
16 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.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲩϭⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϭⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ. ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲣ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ.
