< 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.
False prophets came to the people, and false teachers will also come to you. They will secretly bring with them destructive heresies, and they will deny the master who bought them. They are bringing quick destruction upon themselves.
2 Da yawa za su bi hanyoyinsu na rashin kunya su kuma sa a rena hanyar gaskiya.
Many will follow their sensuality, and through them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
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.
In their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. For a long time their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
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 )
For God did not spare the angels who sinned. Instead he handed them down to Tartarus to be kept in chains of lower darkness until the 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;
Also, he did not spare the ancient world. Instead, he preserved Noah, who was a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, 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;
God also reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes and condemned them to destruction, as an example of what is to happen to the ungodly.
7 in kuwa har ya ceci Lot, mai adalci, wanda ya damu ainun da ƙazamar rayuwar mutane marasa bin doka;
But as for the righteous Lot, he was oppressed by the sensual behavior of lawless people.
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)
So that righteous man, who was living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul because of what he saw and heard.
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.
The Lord knows how to rescue godly men out of trials, and how to hold unrighteous men for punishment at 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;
This is especially true for those who continue in the corrupt desires of the flesh and who despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are not afraid to blaspheme the glorious ones.
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.
Angels have greater strength and power, but they do not bring insulting judgments against them to 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 unreasoning animals are naturally made for capture and destruction. They do not know what they insult. They will be destroyed.
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.
They will receive the reward of their wrongdoing. They think that luxury during the day is a pleasure. They are stains and blemishes. They enjoy their deceitful actions while they are feasting 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!
They have eyes full of adultery, they are never satisfied with sin. They entice unstable souls into wrongdoing, and they have their hearts trained in covetousness. They are cursed children!
15 Sun bar miƙaƙƙiyar hanya suka bauɗe suna bin hanyar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, wanda ya yi ƙaunar hakkin mugunta.
They have abandoned the right way and have wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to receive payment for 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 obtained a rebuke for his own transgression—a mute donkey speaking in a human voice stopped the prophet's insanity.
17 Waɗannan mutane maɓulɓulai ne babu ruwa da kuma hazon da guguwar iska take kora. An shirya matsanancin duhu dominsu.
These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. The gloom of thick darkness is reserved for them.
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.
They speak with vain arrogance. They entice people through the lusts of the flesh. They entice people who try to escape from those who live 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.
They promise freedom to them, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For a man is a slave to whatever overcomes him.
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.
If they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
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.
It would have been better for them not to know the way of righteousness than to know it and turn away 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.”
This proverb is true for them: “A dog returns to its own vomit, and a washed pig returns to the mud.”
