Maori Bible
3 Ko te rua tenei o aku pukapuka, e oku hoa aroha, ka tuhituhia atu nei ki a koutou; hei whakaoho tauarua i o koutou hinengaro tinihangakore kia mahara:
2 Kia mahara ai koutou ki nga kupu i korerotia i mua e nga poropiti tapu, ki ta matou hoki, ki ta nga apotoro a te Ariki, a te Kaiwhakaora:
3 Ko tenei ta koutou e matau ai i te tuatahi, tera e puta mai etahi kaiwhakamanumanu i nga ra whakamutunga, e haere ana i runga i nga ritenga o o ratou hiahia ake,
4 E mea ana, Kei hea te korero o tona haerenga mai? mau tonu hoki nga mea katoa no te moenga ra ano o nga matua, pera tonu me to te orokohanganga.
5 Na ratou tonu i whakakuware ki tenei, na te kupu a te Atua nga rangi i mua, me te whenua ano totoka tonu i roto i te wai, na te wai ano hoki.
6 He hurihanga na enei i ngaro ai i te wai te ao o tera wa.
7 Ko nga rangi onaianei ia me te whenua, he mea rongoa na taua kupu ra ano, he mea waiho marire mo te ahi, ina taea te ra o te whakawakanga, o te whakangaromanga o nga tangata karakiakore.
8 Kei kuware ia koutou, e oku hoa aroha, ki tenei mea kotahi, ki ta te Ariki he ra kotahi rite tonu ki nga tau kotahi mano, nga tau kotahi mano rite tonu ki te ra kotahi.
9 Kahore he whakaroa o te Ariki ki tana kupu whakaari, kahore e rite ki ta etahi e ki nei he whakaroa; engari e manawanui ana ki a tatou, kahore ona whakaaro mo te tangata kia ngaro; engari kia tae katoa ki te ripeneta.
10 E puta mai hoki te ra o te Ariki ano he tahae i te po; ko reira pahemo atu ai nga rangi, tona nui hoki o te tangi; na ka ngiha nga mea timatanga i te ahi, ka rewa; a pau ake i te ahi te whenua me ana mahi.
11 Heoi mo te rewa nei enei mea katoa, kia pehea ra he tikanga ma koutou i runga i te whakahaere tapu, i te karakia;
12 Me te tumanako, me te takare ano koutou ki te taenga mai o te ra o te Atua, e rewa ai nga rangi i te ahi, e ngiha ai nga mea timatanga, e memeha ai?
13 Heoi kei te tumanako tatou ki nga rangi hou, ki te whenua hou, ki tana i whakaari mai ai, kei reira te tika e noho ana.
14 Mo konei ra, e oku hoa aroha, i a koutou ka tumanako na ki enei mea, kia puta to koutou uaua kia rokohina e ia i runga i te rangimarie, te whai ira, te whai koha i tona aroaro.
15 Kia mahara ano ki te manawanui o to tatou Ariki, he whakaora; ko te mea hoki ia tuhituhia ki a koutou e to tatou teina aroha, e Paora, he mea i rite tonu ki te matauranga kua homai nei ki a ia;
16 I pera ano i ana pukapuka katoa, i korerotia hoki enei mea ki reira; kei reira ano hoki etahi mea he pakeke nei ki te whakaaro, whakawiria ketia ake e te hunga kuware, e te hunga kahore ano i u; ko ta ratou hanga ano ia ki era atu karaipiture, a ngaro iho ratou.
17 Na, e oku hoa aroha, ka matau wawe nei koutou ki enei mea, kia taupato kei kahakina atu koutou e te he o te hunga kino, kei taka atu, kei kore e u.
18 Engari kia neke ake i runga i te aroha noa, i te matauranga o to tatou Ariki, ara o te Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu Karaiti. Waiho atu i a ia te kororia, aianei, a ake tonu atu. Amine.

The Day of the Lord
3 Dear friends,(A) this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders(B) to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets(C) and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.(D)
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days(E) scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.(F) 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?(G) Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”(H) 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word(I) the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.(J) 6 By these waters also the world of that time(K) was deluged and destroyed.(L) 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,(M) being kept for the day of judgment(N) and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.(O) 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,(P) as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient(Q) with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.(R)
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.(S) The heavens will disappear with a roar;(T) the elements will be destroyed by fire,(U) and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a](V)
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward(W) to the day of God and speed its coming.[b](X) That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.(Y) 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,(Z) where righteousness dwells.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless(AA) and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience(AB) means salvation,(AC) just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.(AD) 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable(AE) people distort,(AF) as they do the other Scriptures,(AG) to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard(AH) so that you may not be carried away by the error(AI) of the lawless(AJ) and fall from your secure position.(AK) 18 But grow in the grace(AL) and knowledge(AM) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(AN) To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.(AO)
