II Peter 3

Ry malala, ity no epistily faharoa soratako ho aminareo ankehitriny, ka izy roroa dia samy entiko mampifoha ny sainareo madio amin'ny fampahatsiarovana,

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

mba hahatsiarovanareo ny teny voalazan'ny mpaminany masina rahateo sy ny didin'ny Tompo sady Mpamonjy izay nentin'ny Apostoly nirahina ho atỳ aminareo;

That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

efa fantatrareo voalohany indrindra fa amin'ny andro farany dia hisy mpaniratsira avy haniratsira, mandeha araka ny filany

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

ka manao hoe: Aiza ny teny fikasana ny amin'ny fihaviany? Fa hatrizay nodian'ny razana mandry dia maharitra tsy miova ny zavatra rehetra; eny, hatramin'ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao aza.

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Fa minia jamba ireo ka tsy mahalala fa nisy hatramin'ny ela ny lanitra, ary nisy tany koa, izay niseho avy tamin'ny rano, sady rano no nanaovana azy tamin'ny tenin'Andriamanitra,

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

ary rano koa no nandravana izao rehetra izao taloha tamin'ny nanasaforany azy;

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

fa izao lanitra sy tany ankehitriny izao dia hazonin'izany teny izany ho amin'ny afo ka tehirizina ho amin'ny andro fitsarana sy fandringanana ny ratsy fanahy.

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Nefa, ry malala, izao zavatra iray loha izao no aoka tsy hohadinoinareo: ny indray andro amin'ny Tompo dia toy ny arivo taona, ary ny arivo taona toy ny indray andro.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Ny Tompo tsy mahela ny teny fikasany, araka izay ataon'ny sasany ho fahelany; fa mahari-po aminareo Izy, ka tsy tiany hisy ho very, fa mba ho tonga amin'ny fibebahana izy rehetra,

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Fa ho avy tahaka ny mpangalatra ny andron'ny Tompo, ary amin'izany ny lanitra dia ho lasa amin'ny firimorimoana mafy, ary ho levon'ny afo ny tenan'ny zavatra rehetra, ka hodorana avokoa ny tany sy ny asa izay eo aminy.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Koa raha ho levona toy izany izao zavatra rehetra izao, dia olona tokony hanao ahoana moa ianareo amin'ny fitondran-tena masina sy ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra,

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

sady manantena no mampahafaingana ny hihavian'ny andron'Andriamanitra, izay hahamay sy hahalevona ny lanitra ary handoro sy hampiempo ny tenan'ny zavatra rehetra!

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Kanefa isika, araka ny teny fikasany, dia manantena lanitra vaovao sy tany vaovao, izay itoeran'ny fahamarinana.

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Koa amin'izany, ry malala, satria manantena izany zavatra izany ianareo, efa mazotoa mba ho hita tsy manan-tsiny amam-pondro eo anatrehan'ny Tompo amin'ny fihavanana.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Ary ny fahari-pon'ny Tompontsika dia ekeo ho famonjena, tahaka ny voasoratr'i Paoly, rahalahy malalantsika, taminareo koa araka ny fahendrena nomena azy,

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

tahaka ny ataony ao amin'ny epistiliny rehetra koa, fa milaza izany zavatra izany ao aminy izy; ary amin'ireo efa misy zavatra saro-pantarina, izay aolan'ny olona kely fahalalana sady tsy miorina tsara, tahaka ny anaovany ny teny sasany amin'ny Soratra Masina koa, ka mahatonga fahaverezana ho an'ny tenany.

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Koa, satria fantatrareo rahateo izany, ry malala, dia tandremo fandrao ho voataonan'ny fahadisoan'ny ratsy fanahy ianareo ka ho lavo hiala amin'izay iorenanareo;

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

fa mitomboa amin'ny fahasoavana sy ny fahalalana an'i Jesosy Kristy, Tompontsika sy Mpamonjy. Ho Azy anie ny voninahitra ankehitriny sy mandrakizay. Amena.

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
