2 Phixxirosa 3
1 Ta siiqoto! tani intes xaafishin hayssi nam7antho kittakko. Tani intes nam7u kiittataka xaafiday hayta ha yoota akeki ekkidi inte suure qofa qofana mala intena beegothana gaadako.
This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;
2 Hayssafe kase geesha nabeti yootida qaalane qass inte hawarista baggara inte demmida nu Godane nuna ashshidayssa azazo inte yuushi qofana mala ta koyayss.
that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:
3 Hara wursofe kasetidi hayssa yuushi qopite. wursetha gallasatan qidhizaytine ba iitta amo kaallishe asa kadhizayti yaana.
knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,
4 Issti qass “Goda Yesusay yaana giza ufayssi yootetibeynee? Histin izi awan dizee? Beni nu Aawati hayqossope ha simmin, haniza miishey wurikka medhettosope ha simmin hekko kase ba diza mala dees” geetes.
and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 Heyti he asati kase daro wodepe kase saloy Xoossa qaalan medhetoyssane biittayka haathafene haathan dizayssa erishe kaadetes.
For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;
6 He wode diza alamezi haathan miteti dhayides.
by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 Hessaththoka ha7i diza saloyne biittay nagaranchati dhayana diza pirida gallasi gakanas tamas giig uttida.
but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 Ta siiqoto! inte gidiko Goda achchan issi gallas shi laytha mala, qasseka shi laythi issi gallas mala gididayssa hessa he hanoza balopite.
But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Issi issi asatas milatizayssa mala Goday ba yootida ufayssa qaala polanas gam7enako shiin asi wurikka maaristana malane ay asika dhayontta mala koyidi izi inte gishshi takkes.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 Goda gallassay qasse kayiso yeetha mala qopontta dishin gakki wodhana. He gallas saloti gita girethan adhdhana. Medhetethi wurikka taman xuugeti dhayana, biittayine iza bolla dizazi wurikka xuugettana.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Hessa gishshi heyti wurikka hessaththo dhayanaz gidiko histin inte geeshatethan Xoossas goynishe daanas intes waani bessenee?
Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in [all] holy living and godliness,
12 Hessa gishshi Xoossa gallasay yanayssa inte lammotizaytinne izi elelli yaana mala oothizayta giditte. He gallas saloy taman xuugeti dhayana. medhetethatika tama seelan seerana.
looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Gido attin nuni izi nuusu immida ufayssa mala xiillotetha oothoy oothetizasso oratha salone oratha biitta naagoosu.
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Hessa gishshi ta siiqoto! hessi wurikka hanana gallas inte naagishe diiko Goday intena inte bolla boroy bayinda dishin sarotethan demmana mala minni ditte.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.
15 Nu Goda danda7ay intena ashshanas gididayssa inte erite. Nu siiqo isha Phawulosay bess imettida eratetha mala izi intes xaafidayssi hayssako.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;
16 Izi hayssa ha hanoza gishshi ba kiittattan wurson hayssathoka xaafides. Iza kiittata giddon eranas waayssiza issi issi hanoti deettes. Eratethi isttas paccidayitine nam7u qofan yooqu gizayti hara geesha maxaafata mirqqizayssathoka haytaka issti mirqqana. Istti hessaththo oothizay bess dhayanaskko.
as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ta ishato! inte qass hessa kasetidi erida gishshi hanko makal7ata bala geedon goocheti biid kase inte minni dizasope kundontta mala naagettite.
Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness.
The Great Flood
