2 Bitrus 3
1 Yanzu, ina rubata maku, kaunatattu, wannan wasika ta biyu domin in tunashe ku, in kuma zuga tunaninku na gaskiya,
This second epistle, beloved, I now write to you; in [both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 don ku tuna da kalmomin da annabawa tsarkaka suka fada a da, kuma da umurnin Ubangijinmu da mai ceto da aka bayar ta wurin manzaninku.
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:
3 Ku san wannan da farko, cewa masu ba'a za su zo a kwanakin karshe. Za su yi ba'a kuma su ci gaba bisa ga sha'awowinsu.
Knowing this first, that there will come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 Za su ce, “Ina alkawarin dawowarsa? Tun lokacin da kakaninmu suka mutu, dukkan abubuwa sun kasance yadda suke, tun farkon halitta.”
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
5 Da gangan suka manta cewa sama da kasa sun kasance daga ruwa, kuma ta wurin ruwa, da dadewa ta wurin umarnin Allah,
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 kuma cewa ta wurin wadannan abubuwa duniyar wancan zamani ta halaka, da ambaliyar ruwan tsufana.
By which the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 Amma sama da kasa na yanzu, an tanada su domin wuta ta wurin wannan umarnin. An tanada su domin ranar shari'a da halakar marassa ibada.
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved to fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 Kada ku manta da wanan, kaunatattu, cewa rana daya a gun Allah kamar shekaru dubu ne, kuma shekaru dubu kamar rana daya suke.
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 Ubangiji baya jinkiri game da alkawaransa kamar yadda wadansu ke ganin jinkiri. Maimakon haka, yana hakuri da ku. Ba ya so ko dayanku ya hallaka, amma kowanenku ya kai ga tuba.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 Duk da haka, ranar Ubangiji za ta zo kamar barawo. Sammai za su shude da kara mai karfi. Wuta zata kone komai da komai, kuma duniya da dukkan ayyukan da ke cikinta zasu bayyanu.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein will be burned up.
11 Da shike dukkan wadanan abubuwa za a hallaka su haka, wadanne irin mutane yakamata ku zama? Ya kamata kuyi rayuwar tsarki da ta ibada.
[Seeing] then [that] all these things will be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy deportment and godliness,
12 Ku zauna cikin bege da kuma hanzarta zuwan ranar Allah. A ranan nan, za a hallaka sammai da wuta, kuma dukkan komai da komai zai narke cikin zafi mai tsanani.
Looking for and hasting to the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 Amma bisa ga alkawarinsa, muna jiran sabuwar sama da sabuwar duniya, inda adalci zai kasance.
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwelleth righteousness.
14 Saboda haka, kaunatattu, tun da kuna da begen wadannan abubuwa, ku yi iyakacin kokarinku a same ku marassa tabo da marasa aibu a gabansa, cikin salama.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 Kuma, ku dauki hakurin Ubangiji domin ceto ne, kamar yadda kaunataccen danuwanmu Bulus ya rubuta maku bisa ga hikima da aka ba shi.
And account [that] the long-suffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written to you;
16 Bulus yayi magana akan wadanan abubuwa cikin dukkan wasikunsa, a ciki akwai abubuwa da suke da wuyar ganewa. Jahilai da mutane marassa natsuwa sukan juya ma'anarsu, kamar yadda suke yi wa sauran nassoshi, don hallakar kansu.
As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Saboda haka, kaunatattu, tun da kun san wadannan abubuwa, ku kula da kanku kada a badda ku ta wurin rudun mutanen da ba su bin doka, har ku rasa amincinku.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
