2 Peter 3
1 This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you],
Ta siiqo ishato, hayssi ta hinttew xaafida dabddaabbey nam77antho. Taani ha nam77u dabddaabbetakka hinttew xaafiday, hintte suure qofaa qoppanaada hinttena denthethanaassa.
2 to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,
Qassi geeshsha nabeti beni odida qaalanne nuna ashshiya Goday, hawaareta baggara kiittida kiitta hintte hassayana mela koyays.
3 this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,
Ubbaafe kasetidi, wode wurssethan bantta amuwaa kaallidi ase toochcheyssati, toochchishe yaanayssa erite.
4 and saying, 'Where is the promise of his presence? for since the fathers did fall asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation;'
Entti, “Ta yaana gidayssi awun de7ii? Nu aawati hayqqidosona, shin ubbabay sa7ay medhettosappe doomidi de7eyssada de7ees” yaagosona.
5 for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,
Daro wodeppe kase saloy Xoossaa qaalan medhettidayssa; qassi sa7ay haathafenne haathan medhettidayssa erishe kaddoosona.
6 through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed;
He wode de7iya sa7ay haathan mitettidi dhays.
7 and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.
Shin ha77i de7iya saloynne sa7ay, geellati pirddettiya gallasaynne dhayiya gallasay gakkanaw he qaalan tamas naagettidi de7oosona.
8 And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;
Shin ta siiqo ishato, ha issibaa dogoppite. Godaa matan issi gallasi mukulu laytha mela gideyssanne mukulu laythi issi gallasa mela gideyssa dogoppite.
9 the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,
Issoti issoti gam77is gidi qoppeyssada, Goday ba ufayssa qaala gisho gam77enna. Shin oonikka dhayonna mela koyidi, ubbay bantta nagaraappe simmana mela hintte gisho gidi genccees.
10 and it will come — the day of the Lord — as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.
Shin Godaa gallasay kaysoda yaana. He gallasan saloti wolqqaama guunthan dhayana; salo medhetethati taman xuugettana; sa7aynne iya bollan de7iya ubbay dhayana.
11 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?
Hiza, ubbabay hessada hanida dhayiyabaa gidikko hintte ay mela asi gidanaw bessii? Hintte geeshshinne Xoossaa daaniya de7o daanaw bessees.
12 waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt;
Hintte sinthara yaa Xoossaa gallasaa naagishe hinttew dandda7ettiyaba ubbaa oothidi he gallasaa eesoyite. He gallas salotinne iyan de7iyabay taman xuugettana; wolqqaama suulan til77ana.
13 and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell;
Shin nuuni xillotethi haariya ooratha salonne ooratha sa7a Xoossaa ufayssa qaalada naagoos.
14 wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,
Hessa gisho, ta siiqo ishato, nu he gallasaa naagiya gisho pokkoynne borey baynnayssata gididi, Godaara saron daanaw minnite.
15 and the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul — according to the wisdom given to him — did write to you,
Asi ubbay attana mela koyidi Goday dandda7eyssa dogoppite. Qassi nu siiqo ishay, Phawuloosi, Xoossay iyaw immida cinccatethan hessada hinttew xaafis.
16 as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction.
I ba dabddaabbeta ubban hessatabaa xaafis. Iya dabddaabbeta giddon akeekanaw waaysiya qofati de7oosona. Tamaariboonnanne minniboonna asati hara Xoossaa qaala mirqeyssada ha kiitatakka dhayanaw machchidi mirqoosona.
17 Ye, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, ye may fall from your own stedfastness,
Hessa gisho, ta siiqo ishato, hintte hessa eriya gisho makkalata balan cimettidi, dhayonna melanne minnidi de7iya bessaafe kunddonna mela naagettite.
18 and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him [is] the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Shin hintte nuna ashshiya nu Godaa, Yesuus Kiristtoosa aadho keehatethaaninne eratethan diccite. Iyaw ha77ika merinawukka bonchchoy gido. Amin7i. (aiōn g165)
The Great Flood
