2 Peter 2
1 Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
Akkuma raajonni sobduun saba gidduu turan sana, barsiistonni sobduun isin gidduu ni jiraatu. Isaan Goofticha isaan fure sana gananii, barsiisa sobaa kan nama balleessu dhoksanii galchu; kanaanis badiisa ariifatu ofitti fidu.
2 And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
Namoonni baayʼeenis amala isaanii isa qaanessaa sana duukaa buʼu; sababii isaaniitiinis karaan dhugaa ni arrabsama.
3 Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
Barsiistonni kunneen doqnummaa isaaniitiin oduu ofumaan uumanii odeessaniin isin qisaasu. Murtiin bara dheeraan dura isaanitti murame sun amma illee hojjechaa jira; badiisni isaaniis hin mugu.
4 God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
Waaqni yeroo ergamoonni cubbuu hojjetanitti utuu isaanii hin hilin akka isaan guyyaa murtiitiif turfamaniif foncaadhaan dukkana keessatti hidhee gahaannamitti erga isaan darbatee, (Tartaroō g5020)
5 He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
utuu addunyaa duriitiif hin hilin Nohi isa qajeelummaa lallabu namoota biraa torba wajjin oolchee warra Waaqatti hin bulletti bishaan badiisaa erga fidee,
6 He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
magaalaawwan Sodoomii fi Gomoraas hamma isaan daaraa taʼanitti gubuudhaan itti muree, fakkeenya waan warra Waaqaaf hin bulletti dhufuuf jiruu erga isaan godhee,
7 But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
namicha qajeelaa jechuunis Looxi isa jireenya xuraaʼaa finciltootaatiin dhiphachaa ture sana erga badiisa oolchee,
8 That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
namichi qajeelaan sun yeroo gidduu isaanii jiraachaa turetti guyyuma guyyaan fincila isaanii sana arguu fi dhagaʼuudhaan lubbuun isaa qajeeltuun sun isa keessatti dhiphachaa turtee,
9 And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
wanni kun akkas taʼee Gooftaan akkamitti akka warra Waaqaaf bulan qorumsa keessaa baasuu fi akka itti warra jalʼaa hamma guyyaa murtiitti adabbiif tursu beeka.
10 [He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
Wanni kun keessumattuu warra hawwii foonii xuraaʼaa sana duukaa buʼanii fi warra abbootii taayitaa tuffatanitti ni cima. Namoonni kunneen ija jabeeyyii fi of tuultota; isaan ulfina qabeeyyii samii arrabsuu hin sodaatan;
11 In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
ergamoonni iyyuu yoo isaan caalaa jajjaboo fi humna qabeeyyii taʼan iyyuu fuula Gooftaa duratti uumamawwan akkasii arrabsanii hin himatan.
12 Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
Namoonni kunneen garuu waanuma hin hubanne arrabsu. Isaan akkuma bineensota qalbii hin qabnee ti; akkuma uumamawwan miira isaaniitiin qajeelfaman kanneen qabamuu fi ajjeefamuu qofaaf dhalatanii ti; akkuma bineensonni sun badanitti jarris ni badu.
13 God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
Miidhaa isaan hojjetaniif miidhaatu deebiʼaaf. Isaan guyyaa adiidhaan gara malee machaaʼuu akka gammachuutti fudhatu. Yeroo isin wajjin nyaataa fi dhugaatiitti dhiʼaatanittis isaan gowwoomsaa isaaniitiin gidduu keessanitti xurii fi waan fafaa taʼu.
14 They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
Waan iji isaanii ejjaan guutameef isaan cubbuu hojjechuu hin dhiisan; warra hin jabaatin gowwoomsu; garaan isaanii doqnummaa barateera; isaan ijoollee abaaramanii dha!
15 They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
Karaa qajeelaa dhiisanii karaa Balaʼaam ilma Bosoor isa gatii jalʼinaa jaallate sanaa duukaa buʼuuf karaa irraa badan.
16 But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
Balaʼaam garuu sababii dogoggora isaatiif harreen isa ifatte; horiin duudaan afaan namaa dubbattee maraatummaa raajii sanaa ittifte.
17 These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
Namoonni kunneen burqaa bishaan hin qabnee fi hurrii bubbeen oofamuu dha. Dukkanni limixiin isaaniif kaaʼameera. (questioned)
18 By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
Isaan dubbii faayidaa hin qabnee fi dubbii of tuulummaa odeessu; warra namoota jireenya dogoggoraa keessa jiraatan keessaa baqatanii baʼan hawwii foonii hamaadhaan gowwoomsu.
19 [The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
Isaan utuma ofii isaaniitii iyyuu garboota badiisaa taʼanii jiranuu birmadummaa isaan abdachiisu; namni tokko waan isa moʼate kamiifuu ni garboomaatii.
20 Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
Isaan erga Gooftaa keenyaa fi Fayyisaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos beekuudhaan xuraaʼummaa addunyaa keessaa baʼanii booddee yoo amma illee deebiʼanii xuraaʼummaa sanaan qabamanii fudhataman haalli isaanii kan dhumaa isa jalqabaa sana caalaa hammaata.
21 [Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
Isaan karaa qajeelinaa beekanii ajaja qulqulluu isaanii kenname sanatti dugda galuu irra utuu duraanuu karaa qajeelinaa sana beekuu baatanii isaaniif wayya ture.
22 [The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
Mammaaksi, “Sareen diddiga isheetti deebiti” akkasumas, “Booyyeen dhiqamte dhoqqee keessa gangalachuu isheetti deebiti” jedhu sun isaan irratti mirkaneeffame.
