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.
This second epistle, my beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your sincere mind in remembrance,
2 Qassi geeshsha nabeti beni odida qaalanne nuna ashshiya Goday, hawaareta baggara kiittida kiitta hintte hassayana mela koyays.
that ye may be mindful of the words formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: knowing this first,
3 Ubbaafe kasetidi, wode wurssethan bantta amuwaa kaallidi ase toochcheyssati, toochchishe yaanayssa erite.
that there will come in the last days scoffers,
4 Entti, “Ta yaana gidayssi awun de7ii? Nu aawati hayqqidosona, shin ubbabay sa7ay medhettosappe doomidi de7eyssada de7ees” yaagosona.
walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the declaration of his coming? for except that the fathers are fallen asleep, all things remain 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 they are willingly ignorant of this, that by the Word of God the heavens were made of old, and the earth too from the water, and subsisting on the water.
6 He wode de7iya sa7ay haathan mitettidi dhays.
Whence the old world being drowned in 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, that now are, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire on the day of judgement and destruction of 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, beloved; be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord 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 is not slow as to his promise (as some count it slowness) but is long-suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
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 will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein 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 shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye 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.
expecting and hastening on the coming of the day of God, whereby the heavens being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the burning elements shall be melted.
13 Shin nuuni xillotethi haariya ooratha salonne ooratha sa7a Xoossaa ufayssa qaalada naagoos.
But we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth.
14 Hessa gisho, ta siiqo ishato, nu he gallasaa naagiya gisho pokkoynne borey baynnayssata gididi, Godaara saron daanaw minnite.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye expect these things, give diligence to be found of Him in peace, spotless and blameless;
15 Asi ubbay attana mela koyidi Goday dandda7eyssa dogoppite. Qassi nu siiqo ishay, Phawuloosi, Xoossay iyaw immida cinccatethan hessada hinttew xaafis.
and account the long-suffering of our Lord salvation, as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written unto 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 some things hard to be understood, which the illiterate 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.
Do ye therefore, beloved, as ye know these things before, take heed least being seduced together with them by the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness.
The Great Flood
