< 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.
But there were indeed false prophets among the people of old, as there will be also among you false teachers, who will privately introduce pernicious heresies, denying even the Lord that bought them, and bringing upon 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 pernicious tenets, on whose account the way of truth will be reproached:
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 by artful speeches they will make sale of you for gain. Whose judgement is long since hastening, and their destruction doth not slumber.
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 if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement; and if He spared not the old world, (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;
(but preserved Noah an eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, ) bringing a deluge upon 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 reducing the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha to ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those that should afterwards be impious;
7 in kuwa har ya ceci Lot, mai adalci, wanda ya damu ainun da ƙazamar rayuwar mutane marasa bin doka;
and delivered righteous Lot grieved at the lewd conversation 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 good man by seeing and hearing their crimes, when he dwelt among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day with their
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.
iniquitous deeds) then the Lord knoweth how to deliver the pious from temptation, and to reserve the wicked to the day of judgement to be punished:
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;
especially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise authority; who, being audacious and self-willed, are not afraid to speak evil of dignities:
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, who are greater in strength and power, bring not 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 men, like brute beasts naturally produced to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil of things which they do not understand, shall perish by their own corruption; receiving the reward of their unrighteousness:
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.
who account it a pleasure to riot even in the day; spots and disgraces; revelling in their frauds, while they partake of your feasts:
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 which cannot be restrained from sin: ensnaring unstable souls, and having a heart practised in rapine; cursed people:
15 Sun bar miƙaƙƙiyar hanya suka bauɗe suna bin hanyar Bala’am ɗan Beyor, wanda ya yi ƙaunar hakkin mugunta.
who have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity;
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 was reproved for his transgression: for a dumb beast speaking with the voice of a man checked the madness 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 wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom thick darkness is reserved for ever. ()
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.
For when they speak swelling words of vanity, they ensnare in the lusts of the flesh, through their lasciviousness, those who had indeed withdrawn from such as deal 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 liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for by whom any one is vanquished, by him he is also enslaved.
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 had escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled and vanquished by them, their last state is worse 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.
for it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than when they knew it, to turn 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 is happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog is returned to his own vomit, and, The swine that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
