¹This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

¹Deihtakte aw, tua na kiang ua ka gelh laikhak nihna ahi a. huaite gel ah nou theihkhiakthak nawnnain na lungsim siang uh ka tokthou hi.

²That 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:

²Jawlnei siangthoute thugen kholh leh, na sawltakte uh kama Toupa leh Hondampa thupiak na theihgige na ding in,

³Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

³Hiai thei masa un, ni nanungte ah, misimmohhatte tuh amau utna banga omin, simmoh kawmin a hongpai ding ua,

⁴And 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.

⁴a hongpai nawnna thuchiam koi ah? Siam tunga kipan bangkim a om ngeingei bang un pi leh pute ihmut ni akipanin a om jela, a honchi ding uhi.

⁵For 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:

⁵Hiai khawngte a kitheihmohbawl jel uh, Pathian thuin nidanglaiin vante a hongom a;

⁶Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

⁶huan, leitung, tuia kipan leh tui zanga bawl ahia, huai tui mahin a tuma, a mangthangta chih.

⁷But 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.

⁷Himahleh, tua vante lah lei omte tuh huai thu mahin Pathianlimsaklou mite vaihawm leh manthat ni adinga sitin, meia dinga khol khawm a hita hi.

⁸But, 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.

⁸Himahleh, deihtak aw, hiai thu kamkhat pen mangngilh kei un, Toupa ngaihin ni khat tuh kum sang khat bang ahi, kum sang khat leng ni khat bang ahi, chih.

⁹The 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.

⁹Mi khenkhat in zekai a sak bang un Toupa jaw a thuchiam lamah a zekai kei hi; kuamah manthat deih loua, mi tengteng hongkisik deihin, noumau lamah a dohzou ahi jaw hi.

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰Himahleh, Toupa ni jaw guta bangin a hongtung ding; huai ni chiangin van khawng nakpi taka gingin a mangthang ding, thilbulte khawng meia hai tuiin a omta dinga, lei leh a sunga nasep omte, a kang bei ding uhi.

¹¹Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

¹¹Tua thilte tuh huchibanga mangthang vek ding uh ahi chih na theih un, omdan siangthou leh Pathian limsakna lamah mi bangchi bang hi ding na hi ua,

¹²Looking 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?

¹²Pathian ni hongtunna ding lamen leh phatuamngai taka deihin. Huai ni a tun jiakin van khawng hongkangin a mangthang dia, thilbulte leng meia hai tuiin a omta ding.

¹³Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

¹³Himahleh, a thuchiam bang in van thak leh lei thak, a sunga diktatna omte khawng i lamen ahi.

¹⁴Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

¹⁴Huaijiakin, deihtakte aw, huaibang thilte na lamet jiak un nin bang lou leh gensiatbeiin, khamuang taka na om uh a honmuh theihna ding in, thanop suah un;

¹⁵And 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;

¹⁵huan, i Toupa dohzohna hotdamnain sim un. i unaupa deihtak Paulain leng, a kianga pilna piak bang jela, na kiang ua a gelh bangin;

¹⁶As 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.

¹⁶a laikhak tengteng ah, tua thute genin. tua mahbangin a gelh hi. Huaiah tuh tuh theih hak thukte a oma, huaite tuh mi pil lou leh mi kip louten, laisiangthou dang a ngaikawi bang un a ngaikawi ua, amau leh amau kihihmannan a zang nak uhi.

¹⁷Ye 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.

¹⁷Huchiin, deihtakte aw, nouten tua thute na natheih kholh jiak un pilvang un, huchilou injaw mi giloute diklouhnaa pi manga omin, na kipna ua kipan na puk kha ding uhi.Ahihhangin, i Toupa leh Hondampa Jesu Kris hehpihna leh theihna ah hongkhang unla. Tu leh khantawnin amah kiangah thupina om hen. Amen.

¹⁸But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

¹⁸Ahihhangin, i Toupa leh Hondampa Jesu Kris hehpihna leh theihna ah hongkhang unla. Tu leh khantawnin amah kiangah thupina om hen. Amen.
