< 2 Bitrus 2 >
1 Amma a dā akwai annabawan ƙarya a cikin mutane, kamar yadda za a sami malaman ƙarya a cikinku. A ɓoye za su shigar da karkataccen koyarwa mai hallaka, har ma su yi mūsun Ubangiji mai iko duka wanda ya saye su suna kawo wa kansu hallaka farat ɗaya.
However, there were also false prophets among the people, just as, indeed, there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Owner who bought them (bringing on themselves swift destruction).
2 Da yawa za su bi hanyoyinsu na rashin kunya su kuma sa a rena hanyar gaskiya.
And many will follow their licentious ways, because of which the way of the Truth will be defamed.
3 Cikin kwaɗayinsu waɗannan malaman ƙarya za su cuce ku da tatsuniyoyin da suka ƙaga. Hukuncinsu yana a rataye a kansu tun da daɗewa, hallakarsu kuma ba ta barci.
And in covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; since way back the judgment for such people is not slack, and their destruction will not sleep.
4 Gama in har Allah bai ƙyale mala’iku sa’ad da suka yi zunubi ba, amma ya tura su cikin lahira, domin a tsare su don hukunci; (Tartaroō )
Because if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but delivered them into chains of darkness, confining them in Tartarus to be reserved for judgment, (Tartaroō )
5 in har bai ƙyale duniya ta dā ba sa’ad da ya kawo ambaliya a kan mutanenta marasa tsoron Allah, amma ya kiyaye Nuhu, mai wa’azin adalci, da kuma waɗansu bakwai;
and did not spare the ancient world but preserved Noah, with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when He brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
6 in har ya hukunta biranen Sodom da Gomorra ta wurin ƙone su suka zama toka, ya kuma maishe su misali na abin da zai faru da marasa tsoron Allah;
and condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes (providing a warning to those who are intent on being ungodly),
7 in kuwa har ya ceci Lot, mai adalci, wanda ya damu ainun da ƙazamar rayuwar mutane marasa bin doka;
while He rescued upright Lot, who was distressed by the licentious lifestyle of the wicked
8 (adon kuwa abin da adalin nan ya yi, ya kuma gani, sa’ad da yake a cikinsu, sai kowace rana yakan ji ciwon aikinsu na kangara a zuciyarsa mai adalci)
(for that upright man, dwelling among them, tormented an upright soul from day to day by seeing and hearing lawless deeds)
9 in haka ne, to, Ubangiji ya san yadda zai ceci mutane masu tsoron Allah daga gwaje-gwaje, yă kuma tsare marasa adalci don ranar hukunci, har yă zuwa ranar shari’a.
—then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of testings and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 Wannan gaskiya ce musamman ga waɗanda suke bin sha’awace-sha’awacen lalaci na mutuntaka, suna kuma rena masu mulki. Da ƙarfin hali da kuma girman kai, waɗannan mutane ba sa tsoro kawo zargin ɓata sunan talikan sama;
and especially those who go after the flesh in the lust for defilement, and despise authority. They are audacious, self-willed; they are not afraid to revile majestic beings,
11 duk da haka ko mala’iku ma da suka fi su ƙarfi suka kuma fi su iko, ba sa kawo irin wannan zargi na ɓata suna game da waɗannan talikai a gaban Ubangiji.
whereas angels, though being greater in might and power, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
12 Amma waɗannan mutane suna yin saɓo a kan abubuwan da ba su fahimta ba. Suna kama da dabbobi marasa hankali, halittun da suke bin abin da jikinsu ya faɗa musu kawai, waɗanda aka haifa don a kama a hallaka, kuma kamar dabbobi su ma za su hallaka.
But these, as unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct made to be caught and destroyed, spouting off in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed by their own depravity,
13 Za a yi musu sakamako da muguntar da suka yi. A ra’ayinsu jin daɗi shi ne a yi annashuwa da rana tsaka. Su ƙazamai ne marasa kunya, suna cike da jin daɗin sha’awace-sha’awacensu yayinda suke cin biki tare da ku.
receiving the wages of unrighteousness. Counting it a pleasure to carouse in the daytime, they are stains and blemishes, reveling in their own deceptions while they feast with you,
14 Idanunsu sun cike da zina, ba sa ƙoshi da yin zunubi; suna jarrabtar waɗanda ba tsayayyu ba; gwanaye ne a kan kwaɗayi, la’anannun iri!
having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls; having a heart trained in greediness they are children of a curse;
15 Sun bar miƙaƙƙiyar hanya suka bauɗe suna bin hanyar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, wanda ya yi ƙaunar hakkin mugunta.
having forsaken the right way they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 Amma an tsawata masa saboda laifinsa ta wurin jaki, dabbar da ba ta magana, wadda ta yi magana da muryar mutum ta kuma kwaɓi haukan annabin.
but he got a rebuke for his wrongdoing—a mute donkey speaking with a human voice restrained the insanity of the prophet.
17 Waɗannan mutane maɓulɓulai ne babu ruwa da kuma hazon da guguwar iska take kora. An shirya matsanancin duhu dominsu.
These are waterless springs, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackest of the darkness has been reserved forever. ()
18 Gama suna surutai banza na girman kai, ta wurin son bin fasikanci na mutuntaka, sukan jan hankulan mutanen da suke kuɓucewa daga waɗancan masu zama cikin kuskure.
Because speaking pompous words of emptiness they entice through fleshly lusts, through licentiousness, those who have actually escaped from those who are living in error,
19 Suna yin musu alkawarin’yanci, yayinda su kansu bayi ne ga aikin lalata gama mutum bawa ne ga duk abin da ya mallake shi.
promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.
20 In har sun kuɓuta daga lalacin duniya ta wurin sanin Ubangijinmu da kuma Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi sai suka sāke koma a cikin lalacin, har ya rinjaye su, za su fi muni a ƙarshe fiye da farko.
For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the real knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter circumstances have become worse for them than the first ones.
21 Zai fi musu kyau da ba su taɓa sanin hanyar adalci ba, fiye da a ce sun sani sa’an nan su juya bayansu ga umarni mai tsarkin nan da aka ba su.
For it would have been better for them not to have really known the way of the righteousness, than having really known it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 A kansu karin maganan nan gaskiya ce, “Kare ya koma kan amansa,” da kuma, “Alade da aka yi wa wanka, ya koma birgimarsa cikin laka.”
But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: a dog returns to its own vomit and a bathed sow to wallowing in mud.
