“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. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and Godliness, 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? Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
“Lakini siku ya BWANA itakuja kama mwivi; ambayo katika hiyo mbingu zitatoweka kwa mshindo mkuu, na viumbe vya asili vitaunguzwa, na kufumuliwa, na nchi na kazi zilizomo ndani yake zitateketea. Basi, kwa kuwa vitu hivi vyote vitafumuliwa hivyo, imewapasa ninyi kuwa watu wa tabia gani katika mwenendo mtakatifu na utauwa, mkitazamia hata ije siku ile ya MUNGU, na kuihimiza; ambayo katika hiyo mbingu zitafumuliwa zikiungua, na viumbe vya asili vitateketea na kuyeyuka?
