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

Lo ke lokwalo lwa me lwa bobedi, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, mme mo go tsone tsoopedi ke lekile go lo gakolola, fa lo ntetla kaga boammaaruri jo lo setseng lo bo itse:

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,

boammaaruri jo lo bo ithutileng mo baporofiting ba ba boitshepo le mo go rona Baaposetoloi ba re lo tliseditseng mafoko a Morena le Mmoloki wa rona.

3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts

Sa ntlha, ke batla go lo gakolola gore mo malatsing a bofelo, go tlaa tla basotli ba ba tlaa dirang bosula bongwe le bongwe jo ba bo akanyang, mme ba sotla boammaaruri.

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.”

Se e tlaa nna tsela ya bone ya kganetsanyo: “Kana Keresete o solofeditse go tla gape, a mme o tsile? Jaanong o kae? Ga a kitla a tla! Ka ntlha ya eng, fela jaaka mongwe le mongwe a ka gakologelwa, sengwe le sengwe se ntse fela jaaka mo letsatsing la ntlha la lobopo.”

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,

Ba itebatsa ka bomo boammaaruri jo: Gore Modimo o ne wa senya lefatshe ka morwalela o o boitshegang bogologolo o sena go dira magodimo ka lefoko la taolo ya One, mme wa dirisa metse go dira lefatshe le go le dikaganyetsa.

6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.

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.

Mme Modimo o ne wa laola lefatshe le magodimo go bolokelwa molelo ka letsatsi la katlholo, fa botlhe ba ba senang boModimo ba tlaa nyelediwa.

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.

Mme se lebaleng se, ditsala tse di rategang, gore letsatsi kgotsa dingwaga tse di sekete go simologa gompieno mo Moreneng di tshwana fela le ka moso.

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.

Tota ga o bonya kaga tsholofetso ya One ya go bowa, ntswa ka nako tse dingwe go tle go bonale go ntse jalo. Mme o letile, ka mabaka a a utlwalang gore ga o batle ope a nyelela, mme o naya baleofi lobaka lwa go ikwatlhaya.

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.

Ruri letsatsi la Morena le e tla, le tla jaaka legodu, mme magodimo a tlaa feta ka modumo o mogolo le mebele ya selegodimo e tlaa nyelela mo molelong, mme lefatshe le sengwe le sengwe se se mo go lone se tlaa tshujwa ka molelo.

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

Mme jalo ere ka sengwe le sengwe se se re dikaganyeditseng se tlaa nyerologa, re tshwanetse ra bo re tshela botshelo jo bo boitshepo jo bo nang le boModimo jo bo ntseng jang? Re tlaa tshwanelwa ke go tshela botshelo jo bo boitshepo jwa Bo-Modimo.

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?

Lo tshwanetse go lebelela letsatsi leo lwa ba lwa le ipaakanyetsa, letsatsi le Modimo o tlaa tshubang magodimo ka molelo, mme mebele ya selegodimo e tlaa nyerologa e nyelela mo dikgabong.

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

Mme re lebeletse tsholofetso ya Modimo ya magodimo a masha le lefatshe le lesha morago ga lobaka, kwa go tlaa bong go le tshiamo fela.

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

Ditsala tse di rategang, e re fa lo ntse lo lebeletse dilo tse go diragala le go tla ga gagwe, lekang thata go tshela lo sa leofe; lo bo lo nne kagiso mo go mongwe le mongwe gore a tle a lo itumelele motlhang a bowang.

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,

Mme gakologelwang gore ke eng fa a diegile go tla. O re naya nako ya gore re tseye molaetsa wa gagwe wa poloko re o ise kwa go ba bangwe.

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.

Mokaulengwe yo o botlhale yo o rategang Paulo o buile ka dilo tse mo dikwalong tse dintsi tsa gagwe. Dikakgelo dingwe tsa gagwe ga di motlhofo go tlhaloganngwa, mme go na le batho ba ba dieleele ka bomo, ba ba agang ba batla dithanolo, ditlhaloso tse di sa tlwaelesegang, ba pitikolotse dikwalo tsa gagwe gore di reye sengwe se se pharologanyo thata le se a neng a se raya, fela jaaka ba dira mo dintlheng tse dingwe tsa dikwalo tse di boitshepo mme phelelo ya bone ke tshenyego.

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.

Ke lo tlhagisa pele ga nako, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, gore lo tle lo itlhokomele lo se ka lwa tsewa ke diphoso tsa batho ba ba bosula ba, e se re kgotsa lwa etsaetsega lwa tlhakana nabo.

18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Mme golang mo nonofong ya semowa lo itsanye sentle le Morena le Mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete. A mo go ene go nne kgalalelo yotlhe le boitumelo jwa tlotlo, go tloga fano le ka bosakhutleng. Salang sentle. Ke nna, Petere. (aiōn g165)
