1Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind:
1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，
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.
2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。
3Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
3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：
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.
4「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。」
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.
5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。
6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
6故此，當時的世界被水淹沒就消滅了。
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.
7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。
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.
8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。
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.
9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。
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.
10但主的日子要像賊來到一樣。那日，天必大有響聲廢去，有形質的都要被烈火銷化，地和其上的物都要燒盡了。
11Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?
11這一切既然都要如此銷化，你們為人該當怎樣聖潔，怎樣敬虔，
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?
12切切仰望上帝的日子來到。在那日，天被火燒就銷化了，有形質的都要被烈火鎔化。
13But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.
13但我們照他的應許，盼望新天新地，有義居在其中。
14Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.
14親愛的 弟兄 啊，你們既盼望這些事，就當殷勤，使自己沒有玷污，無可指摘，安然見主；
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:
15並且要以我主長久忍耐為得救的因由，就如我們所親愛的兄弟 保羅 ，照着所賜給他的智慧寫了信給你們。
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.
16他一切的信上也都是講論這事。信中有些難明白的，那無學問、不堅固的人強解，如強解別的經書一樣，就自取沉淪。
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.
17親愛的 弟兄 啊，你們既然預先知道這事，就當防備，恐怕被惡人的錯謬誘惑，就從自己堅固的地步上墜落。
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.
18你們卻要在我們主－救主耶穌基督的恩典和知識上有長進。願榮耀歸給他，從今直到永遠。阿們！
