OET (OET-RV) But don’t let this one thing escape your attention my dear friends, that one day for us is like a thousand years with the Lord, and a thousand years is like one day.

Here, with the Lord means “in the judgment of the Lord.” Alternate translation: “that from the Lord’s point of view, one day is like a thousand years”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
μία ἡμέρα παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὡς χίλια ἔτη, καὶ χίλια ἔτη ὡς ἡμέρα μία
one day with /the/_Lord_‹is› like /a/_thousand years and /a/_thousand years_‹are› like day one
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that God does not perceive of time the same way that humans do. What might seem to be a short or long time for people would not seem so for God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “one day and 1,000 years are alike for the Lord”
3:8 Peter alludes to Ps 90:4. God operates according to his time scale. He will send his Son in his own good time.
