3:1

ወዛቲ ይእቲ አኀውየ ዳግሚትየ ዘጸሐፍኩ ለክሙ መጽሐፈ ከመ አንሥእክሙ በዘክሮ ወትዕቀብዋ በልብክሙ ለጽድቅ።

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

親愛的弟兄啊，我現在寫給你們的是第二封信。這兩封都是提醒你們，激發你們誠實的心，

3:2

ወከመ ትዘከሩ ቃለ ነቢያት ቀደምት ቅዱሳን ዘይቤሉ ወትእዛዘ እግዚእነ ወመድኀኒነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ዘአዘዘ ለነ ለሐዋርያት።

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,

叫你們記念聖先知預先所說的話和主救主的命令，就是使徒所傳給你們的。

3:3

ወዘንተኒ ቅድሙ አእምሮ ከመ ሀለዎሙ ይምጽኡ በደኃሪ መዋዕል መስተአብዳን ለአስተአብዶ እለ የሐውሩ በፍትወተ ልቦሙ ወይብሉ አይቴ ውእቱ ቃሉ ዘይቤ ከመ ሀለዎ ይምጻእ።

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

第一要緊的，該知道在末世必有好譏誚的人隨從自己的私慾出來譏誚說：

3:4

ናሁ እመሰ አበዊነ ቀደምት ሞቱ እስመ ኵሉ ግብር ሀለወ በከመ ሀሎ እምፍጥረተ ዓለም።

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.”

「主要降臨的應許在哪裏呢？因為從列祖睡了以來，萬物與起初創造的時候仍是一樣。」

3:5

ወኢየአምርዎ ለዝንቱ በፈቃዶሙ ከመ ሰማያትኒ ተፈጥራ እምትካት ወምድርኒ እምነ ማይ ወበማይ ጸንዐት በቃለ እግዚአብሔር።

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,

他們故意忘記，從太古，憑上帝的命有了天，並從水而出、藉水而成的地。

3:6

ወዓለመ ትካትኒ ቦቱ አጥፍአ በማየ አይኅ።

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

故此，當時的世界被水淹沒就消滅了。

3:7

ወይእዜኒ ሰማይ ወምድር በውእቱ ቃል ዝጉባን ለእሳት ወዕቁባን እሙንቱ እስከ ዕለተ ደይን ወድምሳሴ ኃጥኣን ሰብእ።

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.

但現在的天地還是憑着那命存留，直留到不敬虔之人受審判遭沉淪的日子，用火焚燒。

3:8

ወዘንተ ባሕቱ ኢትርስዑ አኀዊነ እስመ አሐቲ ዕለት በኀበ እግዚአብሔር ከመ ዐሠርቱ ምእት ዓመት ወዐሠርቱ ምእት ዓመት ከመ አሐቲ ዕለት።

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.

親愛的弟兄啊，有一件事你們不可忘記，就是主看一日如千年，千年如一日。

3:9

ኢያጐነዲ እግዚአብሔር ቃለ ዘነበበ እስመቦ እለ ይብሉ ከመ ይጐነዲ ወባሕቱ ይትዔገሥ በእንቲኣሆሙ እስመ ኢይፈቅድ መነሂ ያማስን አላ ይነስሑ ለኵሉ ሰብእ ያርሕብ።

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.

主所應許的尚未成就，有人以為他是耽延，其實不是耽延，乃是寬容你們，不願有一人沉淪，乃願人人都悔改。
