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
Adɔfonom, eyi ne krataa a ɛto so abien a makyerɛw abrɛ mo. Mekyerɛw sɛ mede rebɛkae mo, de akanyan mo adwene.
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,
Mepɛ sɛ mokae nsɛm a adiyifo akronkron no kaa no mmere bi a atwam no ne mmara a efi Awurade ne Agyenkwa a wɔde faa mo asomafo so maa mo no.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
Nea edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ mote ase sɛ nna a edi akyiri no mu no, nnipa bi bɛba a wɔn ara wɔn honam akɔnnɔ na ebedi wɔn so. Wobedi mo ho fɛw
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.”
aka se, “Ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ se ɔbɛba. Wanka? Na ɔwɔ he? Yɛn agyanom awuwu dedaw, nanso biribiara te sɛ nea ɛte fi adebɔ mfiase!”
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,
Wɔhyɛ da ma wɔn werɛ fi nokware no sɛ, efi tete na Onyankopɔn kasa maa ɔsoro bae, na wofi nsu mu de nsu yɛɛ asase.
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
Akyiri no wɔde nsuyiri bɛsɛee saa bere wiase no.
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.
Nanso Onyankopɔn ahyɛ sɛ ɔsoro ne asase ntena hɔ nkosi atemmuda. Afei wɔbɛsɔ ogya wɔ mu de asɛe nnebɔneyɛfo.
8 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.
Nanso anuanom, mommma mo werɛ mfi ade baako sɛ Awurade ani so de, nsonoe nni da koro ne mfe apem ntam. Ne fam de, abien no nyinaa yɛ pɛ.
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.
Awurade ntwentwɛn ne nan ase wɔ ne bɔ a wahyɛ ho sɛnea ebinom susuw no. Mmom ɔwɔ mo ho ntoboase, efisɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ wɔbɛsɛe obiara, na mmom ɔpɛ sɛ obiara sakra fi ne bɔne ho.
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.
Na Awurade da no bɛba sɛ ɔkorɔmfo. Da no, ɔsoro bɛbobɔ mu na ayera na wim nneɛma bɛhyew na asɛe na asase ne so nneɛma nyinaa nso bɛda adi.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Na sɛ saa ɔkwan yi so na wɔbɛfa asɛe ade nyinaa a, na ɔbra bɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ? Ɛsɛ sɛ mo bra yɛ kronkron na mode mo ho ma Onyankopɔn.
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?
Monhwɛ saa da no kwan na monyɛ mo nneɛma pɛpɛɛpɛ; da a Onyankopɔn bɛto ɔsoro mu gya na wim nneɛma anan na ayera wɔ ogyaframa mu no.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Nanso yɛtwɛn nea Onyankopɔn ahyɛ yɛn ho bɔ no, ɔsoro foforo ne asase foforo a ɛhɔ na trenee bɛtena.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Enti anuanom, mugu so retwɛn da no, mommɔ mmɔden sɛ mobɛyɛ kronkron a mfomso biara nni mo ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim na mo ne no atena wɔ asomdwoe mu.
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,
Monkae nhu sɛ Awurade wɔ ntoboase efisɛ ɔpɛ sɛ obiara nya nkwagye. Ɛno na yɛn nua Paulo nam nyansa a Onyankopɔn de maa no no so kyerɛw mo no.
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.
Saa ɔkwan koro no ara so na ɔfa kyerɛw ne nkrataa no na saa nsɛm yi ara so nso na ogyina kyerɛwee. Wɔn a wonnim na wɔnnyɛ den no ntumi nkyerɛ nsɛm bi a ɛyɛ den wɔ ne nkrataa no mu no ase yiye. Saa ara na wɔyɛ Kyerɛwsɛm nkae no de ɔsɛe ba wɔn so no.
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.
Nanso anuanom, esiane sɛ wɔadi kan abɔ mo kɔkɔ no nti, monwɛn na wɔn a wonni mmara so no mfomso no antwe mo amfi mo tebea pa hɔ.
The World is Destroyed by Water
