彼得后书 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1亲爱的 弟兄 啊，我现在写给你们的是第二封信。这两封都是提醒你们，激发你们诚实的心，
1Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind:
2叫你们记念圣先知预先所说的话和主救主的命令，就是使徒所传给你们的。
2That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets, and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour.
3第一要紧的，该知道在末世必有好讥诮的人随从自己的私欲出来讥诮说：
3Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4「主要降临的应许在哪里呢？因为从列祖睡了以来，万物与起初创造的时候仍是一样。」
4Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? for since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5他们故意忘记，从太古，凭 神的命有了天，并从水而出、借水而成的地。
5For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God.
6故此，当时的世界被水淹没就消灭了。
6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
7但现在的天地还是凭着那命存留，直留到不敬虔之人受审判遭沉沦的日子，用火焚烧。
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 the ungodly men.
8亲爱的 弟兄 啊，有一件事你们不可忘记，就是主看一日如千年，千年如一日。
8But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9主所应许的 尚未成就 ，有人以为他是耽延，其实不是耽延，乃是宽容你们，不愿有一人沉沦，乃愿人人都悔改。
9The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.
10但主的日子要像贼来到一样。那日，天必大有响声废去，有形质的都要被烈火销化，地和其上的物都要烧尽了。
10But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up.
11这一切既然都要如此销化，你们为人该当怎样圣洁，怎样敬虔，
11Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?
12切切仰望 神的日子来到。在那日，天被火烧就销化了，有形质的都要被烈火熔化。
12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?
13但我们照他的应许，盼望新天新地，有义居在其中。
13But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.
14亲爱的 弟兄 啊，你们既盼望这些事，就当殷勤，使自己没有玷污，无可指摘，安然见主；
14Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.
15并且要以我主长久忍耐为得救的因由，就如我们所亲爱的兄弟 保罗 ，照着所赐给他的智慧写了信给你们。
15And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
16他一切的信上也都是讲论这事。信中有些难明白的，那无学问、不坚固的人强解，如强解别的经书一样，就自取沉沦。
16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17亲爱的 弟兄 啊，你们既然预先知道这事，就当防备，恐怕被恶人的错谬诱惑，就从自己坚固的地步上坠落。
17You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness.
18你们却要在我们主—救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进。愿荣耀归给他，从今直到永远。阿们！
18But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen.
