彼bǐ得dé後hòu書shū第dì三sān 章zhāng	2 Peter 3
1 親qīn愛ài的de 弟dì兄xiōng 阿ā 、 我wǒ 現xiàn在zài 寫xiě給gěi 你nǐ們men的de 是shì 第dì二èr 封fēng信xìn ． 這zhè 兩liǎng 封fēng 都dōu 是shì 題tí 醒xǐng 你nǐ們men 、 激jī發fā 你nǐ們men 誠chéng實shí 的de 心xīn ．	1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 叫jiào 你nǐ們men 記jì念niàn 聖shèng 先xiān知zhī 豫yù 先xiān 所suǒ 說shuō的de 話huà 、 和hé 主zhǔ 救jiù主zhǔ 的de 命mìng令lìng 、 就jiù是shì 使shǐ徒tú 所suǒ 傳chuán給gěi 你nǐ們men的de 。	2 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:
3 第dì一yī 要yào緊jǐn 的de 、 該gāi 知zhī道dao 在zài 末mò世shì 必bì 有yǒu 好hǎo 譏jī誚qiào 的de 人rén 、 隨suí從cóng 自zì己jǐ的de 私sī 慾yù 出chū來lai 譏jī誚qiào 說shuō 、	3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 主zhǔ要yào 降jiàng臨lín 的de 應yìng許xǔ 在zài那nà裡lǐ 呢ne ． 因yīn為wèi 從cóng 列liè祖zǔ 睡shuì了le 以yǐ來lái 、 萬wàn物wù 與yú 起qǐ初chū 創chuàng造zào 的de時shí候hòu 仍réng是shì 一yí樣yàng 。	4 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.
5 他tā們men 故gù意yì 忘wàng記jì 、 從cóng 太tài古gǔ 憑píng 神shén 的de 命mìng 有yǒu了le 天tiān 、 並bìng 從cóng 水shuǐ 而ér 出chū 藉jiè 水shuǐ 而ér 成chéng 的de 地de ．	5 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:
6 故gù此cǐ 、 當dāng時shí的de 世shì界jiè 被bèi 水shuǐ淹yān 沒méi 就jiù 消xiāo滅miè 了le ．	6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 但dàn 現xiàn在zài 的de 天tiān地dì 、 還hái是shì 憑píng著zhe 那nà 命mìng 存cún留liú 、 直zhí 留liú到dào 不bù敬jìng 虔qián 之zhī 人rén 受shòu 審shěn判pàn 遭zāo 沉chén淪lún 的de 日rì子zi 、 用yòng 火huǒ焚fén 燒shāo 。	7 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.
8 親qīn愛ài的de 弟dì兄xiōng 阿ā 、 有yǒu 一yī件jiàn 事shì 你nǐ們men 不bù可kě 忘wàng記jì 、 就jiù是shì 主zhǔ 看kàn 一yī日rì 如rú 千qiān年nián 、 千qiān年nián 如rú一yī 日rì 。	8 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.
9 主zhǔ 所suǒ 應yìng許xǔ 的de 尚shàng未wèi 成chéng就jiù 、 有yǒu人rén 以yǐ為wéi 他tā 是shì 耽dān 延yán ． 其qí實shí 不bù是shì 耽dān 延yán 、 乃nǎi是shì 寬kuān容róng 你nǐ們men 、 不bù願yuàn 有yǒu 一yī人rén 沉chén淪lún 、 乃nǎi 願yuàn人rén 人rén 都dōu 悔huǐ改gǎi 。	9 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.
10 但dàn 主zhǔ 的de 日rì子zi 要yào 像xiàng 賊zéi 來lái到dào 一yí樣yàng ． 那nà 日rì 天tiān 必bì 大dà有yǒu 響xiǎng聲shēng 廢fèi去qù 、 有yǒu形xíng 質zhí的de 都dōu 要yào 被bèi 烈liè火huǒ 銷xiāo 化huà 、 地de 和hé 其qí上shàng 的de 物wù 都dōu 要yào 燒shāo盡jìn 了le 。	10 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.
11 這zhè 一yí切qiè 既jì然rán 都dōu 要yào 如rú此cǐ 銷xiāo 化huà 、 你nǐ們men 為wèi 人rén 該gāi當dāng 怎zěn樣yàng 聖shèng潔jié 、 怎zěn樣yàng 敬jìng 虔qián 、	11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 切qiè切qiè 仰yǎng望wàng 神shén 的de 日rì子zi 來lái到dào ． 在zài 那nà 日rì 天tiān 被bèi 火huǒ燒shāo 就jiù 銷xiāo 化huà 了le 、 有yǒu形xíng 質zhí的de 都dōu 要yào 被bèi 烈liè火huǒ 鎔róng 化huà 。	12 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?
13 但dàn 我wǒ們men 照zhào 他tā的de 應yìng許xǔ 、 盼pàn望wàng 新xīn 天tiān 新xīn地dì 、 有yǒu 義yì 居jū 在zài其qí中zhōng 。	13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 親qīn愛ài的de 弟dì兄xiōng 阿ā 、 你nǐ們men 既jì 盼pàn望wàng 這zhè些xie 事shì 、 就jiù 當dāng 殷yīn勤qín 、 使shǐ 自zì己jǐ 沒méi有yǒu 玷diàn污wū 、 無wú可kě 指zhǐ摘zhāi 、 安ān然rán 見jiàn 主zhǔ 。	14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 並bìng且qiě 要yào 以yǐ 我wǒ 主zhǔ 長cháng久jiǔ 忍rěn耐nài 為wèi 得dé救jiù 的de 因yīn由yóu 、 就jiù 如rú 我wǒ們men 所suǒ 親qīn愛ài的de 兄xiōng弟dì 保bǎo羅luó 、 照zhào著zhe 所suǒ 賜cì給gěi 他tā的de 智zhì慧huì 、 寫xiě了le 信xìn 給gěi 你nǐ們men ．	15 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;
16 他tā 一yí切qiè 的de 信xìn上shàng 、 也yě 都dōu 是shì 講jiǎng論lùn 這zhè些xie 事shì ． 信xìn中zhōng 有yǒu些xiē 難nán 明míng白bai 的de 、 那nà 無wú學xué問wèn 不bù堅jiān固gù 的de 人rén 強qiáng 解jiě 、 如rú 強qiáng 解jiě 別bié的de 經jīng書shū 一yí樣yàng 、 就jiù 自zì取qǔ 沉chén淪lún 。	16 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.
17 親qīn愛ài的de 弟dì兄xiōng 阿ā 、 你nǐ們men 既jì然rán 豫yù 先xiān知zhī 道dào 這zhè 事shì 、 就jiù 當dāng 防fáng備bèi 、 恐kǒng怕pà 被bèi 惡è人rén 的de 錯cuò 謬miù 誘yòu惑huò 、 就jiù 從cóng自zì 己jǐ 堅jiān固gù 的de 地dì步bù 上shàng 墜zhuì落luò 。	17 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.
18 你nǐ們men 卻què要yào 在zài 我wǒ們men 主zhǔ 救jiù主zhǔ 耶yē穌sū基jī督dū 的de 恩ēn典diǎn 和hé 知zhī識shi 上shàng 有yǒu 長cháng進jìn 。 願yuàn 榮róng耀yào 歸guī 給gěi 他tā 、 從cóng今jīn 直zhí到dào 永yǒng遠yuǎn 。 阿ā們mén 。	18 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.
