3:1

Hanc ecce vobis, carissimi, secundam scribo epistolam, in quibus vestram excito in commonitione sinceram mentem :

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

ut memores sitis eorum, quae praedixi, verborum, a sanctis prophetis et apostolorum vestrorum, praeceptorum Domini et Salvatoris.

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

Hoc primum scientes, quod venient in novissimis diebus in deceptione illusores, juxta proprias concupiscentias ambulantes,

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

dicentes : Ubi est promissio, aut adventus ejus ? ex quo enim patres dormierunt, omnia sic perseverant ab initio creaturae.

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

Latet enim eos hoc volentes, quod caeli erant prius, et terra de aqua, et per aquam consistens Dei verbo :

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

per quae, ille tunc mundus aqua inundatus, periit.

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

Caeli autem, qui nunc sunt, et terra eodem verbo repositi sunt, igni reservati in diem judicii, et perditionis impiorum hominum.

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

Unum vero hoc non lateat vos, carissimi, quia unus dies apud Dominum sicut mille anni, et mille anni sicut dies unus.

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

Non tardat Dominus promissionem suam, sicut quidam existimant : sed patienter agit propter vos, nolens aliquos perire, sed omnes ad poenitentiam reverti.

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。
