2 Phexiroosa 3
1 Ta siiqo ishato, hayssi ta hinttew xaafida dabddaabbey nam77antho. Taani ha nam77u dabddaabbetakka hinttew xaafiday, hintte suure qofaa qoppanaada hinttena denthethanaassa.
Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind:
2 Qassi geeshsha nabeti beni odida qaalanne nuna ashshiya Goday, hawaareta baggara kiittida kiitta hintte hassayana mela koyays.
That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets, and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour.
3 Ubbaafe kasetidi, wode wurssethan bantta amuwaa kaallidi ase toochcheyssati, toochchishe yaanayssa erite.
Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 Entti, “Ta yaana gidayssi awun de7ii? Nu aawati hayqqidosona, shin ubbabay sa7ay medhettosappe doomidi de7eyssada de7ees” yaagosona.
Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? for since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 Daro wodeppe kase saloy Xoossaa qaalan medhettidayssa; qassi sa7ay haathafenne haathan medhettidayssa erishe kaddoosona.
For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God.
6 He wode de7iya sa7ay haathan mitettidi dhays.
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
7 Shin ha77i de7iya saloynne sa7ay, geellati pirddettiya gallasaynne dhayiya gallasay gakkanaw he qaalan tamas naagettidi de7oosona.
But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men.
8 Shin ta siiqo ishato, ha issibaa dogoppite. Godaa matan issi gallasi mukulu laytha mela gideyssanne mukulu laythi issi gallasa mela gideyssa dogoppite.
But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 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.
The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.
10 Shin Godaa gallasay kaysoda yaana. He gallasan saloti wolqqaama guunthan dhayana; salo medhetethati taman xuugettana; sa7aynne iya bollan de7iya ubbay dhayana.
But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up.
11 Hiza, ubbabay hessada hanida dhayiyabaa gidikko hintte ay mela asi gidanaw bessii? Hintte geeshshinne Xoossaa daaniya de7o daanaw bessees.
Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?
12 Hintte sinthara yaa Xoossaa gallasaa naagishe hinttew dandda7ettiyaba ubbaa oothidi he gallasaa eesoyite. He gallas salotinne iyan de7iyabay taman xuugettana; wolqqaama suulan til77ana.
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?
13 Shin nuuni xillotethi haariya ooratha salonne ooratha sa7a Xoossaa ufayssa qaalada naagoos.
But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.
14 Hessa gisho, ta siiqo ishato, nu he gallasaa naagiya gisho pokkoynne borey baynnayssata gididi, Godaara saron daanaw minnite.
Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.
15 Asi ubbay attana mela koyidi Goday dandda7eyssa dogoppite. Qassi nu siiqo ishay, Phawuloosi, Xoossay iyaw immida cinccatethan hessada hinttew xaafis.
And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
16 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.
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Hessa gisho, ta siiqo ishato, hintte hessa eriya gisho makkalata balan cimettidi, dhayonna melanne minnidi de7iya bessaafe kunddonna mela naagettite.
You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness.
18 Shin hintte nuna ashshiya nu Godaa, Yesuus Kiristtoosa aadho keehatethaaninne eratethan diccite. Iyaw ha77ika merinawukka bonchchoy gido. Amin7i. (aiōn g165)
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The Great Flood
