Ang Pangakong Pagdating ng Panginoon
3 Mga minamahal, ito ang ikalawang sulat ko sa inyo. Sa dalawang sulat na ito ay sinikap kong gisingin ang malinis ninyong isipan sa pamamagitan ng pagpapaalala ng ilang mga bagay. 2 Alalahanin ninyo ang mga sinabi noon ng mga banal na propeta at ang utos na ibinigay sa inyo ng Panginoon at Tagapagligtas sa pamamagitan ng mga apostol na isinugo sa inyo. 3 Una(A) sa lahat, dapat ninyong malaman na sa mga huling araw ay pagtatawanan kayo ng mga taong namumuhay ayon sa sarili nilang pagnanasa. 4 Sasabihin nila, “Nangako siyang darating, hindi ba? Nasaan na siya? Namatay na ang ating mga ninuno ngunit wala pa ring pagbabago buhat nang likhain ang mundong ito.” 5 Sinasadya nilang hindi pahalagahan ang katotohanang ang langit at lupa ay nilikha ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang salita. Nilikha ang lupa buhat sa tubig at sa pamamagitan ng tubig. 6 Sa(B) pamamagitan din ng tubig—ng Malaking Baha—ginunaw ang daigdig nang panahong iyon. 7 Sa pamamagitan din ng salitang iyon ay nananatili ang mga langit at ang lupa upang tupukin sa apoy pagdating ng Araw ng Paghuhukom at pagpaparusa sa masasama.
8 Mga(C) minamahal, huwag ninyong kalilimutan na sa Panginoon, ang isang araw ay tulad ng sanlibong taon, at ang sanlibong taon ay tulad ng isang araw lamang. 9 Ang Panginoon ay hindi nagpapabaya sa kanyang pangako gaya ng inaakala ng ilan. Sa halip, nagbibigay siya ng pagkakataon sa lahat sapagkat hindi niya nais na may mapahamak, kundi ang lahat ay makapagsisi at tumalikod sa kasalanan.
10 Ngunit(D) ang Araw ng Panginoon ay darating tulad ng isang magnanakaw. Sa araw na iyon, ang kalangitan ay biglang mawawala kasabay ng isang malakas na ugong. Matutupok ang araw, buwan at mga bituin. Ang mundo at ang lahat ng mga bagay na naririto ay mawawala.[a] 11 At dahil ganito ang magiging wakas ng lahat ng bagay, mamuhay kayo nang may kabanalan at sikapin ninyong maging maka-Diyos 12 habang hinihintay ninyo ang Araw ng Diyos. Magsikap kayong mabuti upang dumating agad ang araw na ang kalangitan ay matutupok at ang mga bagay na naroroon ay matutunaw sa matinding init. 13 Subalit ayon sa pangako ng Diyos, naghihintay(E) tayo ng bagong langit at ng bagong lupa na paghaharian ng katuwiran.
14 Kaya nga, mga minamahal, habang naghihintay kayo, sikapin ninyong kayo'y madatnang namumuhay nang mapayapa, walang dungis at walang kapintasan. 15 Isipin ninyong kaya nagtitimpi ang Panginoon ay upang bigyan kayo ng pagkakataong maligtas. Iyan ang isinulat sa inyo ng kapatid nating si Pablo, taglay ang karunungang kaloob sa kanya ng Diyos. 16 Sa lahat ng sulat niya tungkol sa paksang ito, ganito ang lagi niyang paalala. May ilang bahagi sa kanyang mga sulat ay mahirap unawain, at binibigyan ng maling kahulugan ng mga mangmang at maguguló ang pag-iisip. Ganyan din ang kanilang ginagawa sa ibang mga Kasulatan, kaya nga't ipinapahamak nila ang kanilang sarili.
17 Ngayong ito'y alam na ninyo, mga kapatid, dapat kayong mag-ingat upang huwag kayong mailigaw ng mga taong walang sinusunod na batas. Sa gayon, hindi kayo matitinag sa inyong mabuting kalagayan. 18 Sa halip, patuloy kayong lumago sa kagandahang-loob ng ating Panginoon at Tagapagligtas na si Jesu-Cristo, at sa pagkakilala sa kanya. Sa kanya ang kaluwalhatian, ngayon at magpakailanman! Amen.

Kefa II 3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 Chaverim, this now is the second iggeret I am writing to you; in these iggrot my tachlis is to arouse your sincere levavot by way of tizkoret (reminder):
2 Remember the divrei torah having been previously spoken by the Nevi’im HaKedoshim and the mitzvot of [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach] Adoneinu and Moshieinu spoken by your Shluchim.
3 Knowing this first, that during the acharit hayamim there will come letzim (mockers, scorners) mocking, going after their own ta’avot (lusts),
4 And saying, "Where is the havtachah (promise) of the Bias HaMoshiach? From the time Avoteinu fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of HaBri’ah (Creation)."
5 For this is hidden from them (but they want it that way): that the Shomayim existed from long ago and ha’Aretz out of mayim and through mayim BIDVAR Hashem NA’ASU ("By the word of the L-rd were made" TEHILLIM 33:6).
6 Through this very mayim, the tevel (world) of that time perished in the mabbul (flood).
7 But the present Shomayim v’ha’Aretz are being reserved by the same Dvar Hashem, being kept for Eish (Fire) for Yom HaDin and for the destruction of anshei resha (men of wickedness).
8 Chaverim, let not this one thing escape your notice, that "A thousand years in the eyes of Hashem is like one day" TEHILLIM 90:4) and one day like a thousand years.
9 But Hashem is not slow concerning his havtachah (promise), as some consider slowness, but is demonstrating zitzfleisch (patience 3:15) toward you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to teshuva (repentance).
10 But the Yom Hashem will come as a ganav (thief), in which the Shomayim with great suddenness will pass away and the elements, burning up, will be destroyed, and the Olam Hazeh and its ma’asim will be found out [BAMIDBAR 32:23].
11 Als (Since) all these things will thus be destroyed, what kinds of persons ought you to be in hitnahagut (conduct) that is characterized by kedushah and chasidus,
12 Awaiting and hastening the Bias HaMoshiach of the Yom Hashem, because of which the Shomayim will be turned into Eish (Fire) and destroyed, and the elements set ablaze and melted.
13 But SHOMAYIM CHADASHIM VA’ARETZ CHADASHA [YESHAYAH 65:17 cf. 66:22] according to the havtachah (promise) of Hashem we await, in which Tzidkanut (Righteousness) dwells.
14 Chaverim, als you await these things, be eager to be found in shalom by him TAMIM U’MUM ("unblemished and unspotted" SHEMOT 12:5; VAYIKRA 22:20; YESHAYAH 53:7,9).
15 And regard the zitzfleisch (patience) of Adoneinu as Yeshu’at Eloheynu. So also our Chaver and Ach b’Moshiach Sha’ul, according to the chochmah (wisdom) having been given to him, wrote to you.
16 As also in all his iggrot speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things lomdish (intricate and complicated to understand), which those unstable and without da’as, twist, as also the other Kitvei Hakodesh, to their own churban (destuction).
17 Chaverim, you therefore, knowing beforehand, be shomer over yourselves lest with the toyus (error) of the mufkarim (lawless ones) having been led away, you fall from your own stability.
18 But grow in the Chen v’Chesed and Da’as of Adoneinu and Moshieinu, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. Lo HaKavod Gam HaYom V’Gam L’Yom HaOlam. Omein. (To him be glory both now and to the day of eternity. Omein.)
2 Peter 3
King James Version
3 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
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 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
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 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 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
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 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 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 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 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
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 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
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 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 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 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 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.
