2 Phexros 2
1 Akkuma raajonni sobduun saba gidduu turan sana, barsiistonni sobduun isin gidduu ni jiraatu. Isaan Goofticha isaan fure sana gananii, barsiisa sobaa kan nama balleessu dhoksanii galchu; kanaanis badiisa ariifatu ofitti fidu.
However there were indeed false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you, whosoever shall bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Namoonni baayʼeenis amala isaanii isa qaanessaa sana duukaa buʼu; sababii isaaniitiinis karaan dhugaa ni arrabsama.
And many will follow their impurities; through whom the way of truth will be slandered:
3 Barsiistonni kunneen doqnummaa isaaniitiin oduu ofumaan uumanii odeessaniin isin qisaasu. Murtiin bara dheeraan dura isaanitti murame sun amma illee hojjechaa jira; badiisni isaaniis hin mugu.
and in their covetousness they will sell you with their soft speeches: unto whom judgment from olden time tarries not, and their destruction does not slumber.
4 Waaqni yeroo ergamoonni cubbuu hojjetanitti utuu isaanii hin hilin akka isaan guyyaa murtiitiif turfamaniif foncaadhaan dukkana keessatti hidhee gahaannamitti erga isaan darbatee, (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not the angels who sinned, but having sent them down to hell, committed them to chains of darkness to be kept unto judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 utuu addunyaa duriitiif hin hilin Nohi isa qajeelummaa lallabu namoota biraa torba wajjin oolchee warra Waaqatti hin bulletti bishaan badiisaa erga fidee,
and spared not the old world, but delivered Noah the eighth person, the preacher of righteousness, brings the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 magaalaawwan Sodoomii fi Gomoraas hamma isaan daaraa taʼanitti gubuudhaan itti muree, fakkeenya waan warra Waaqaaf hin bulletti dhufuuf jiruu erga isaan godhee,
and having destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, with a catastrophe he condemned them, having put them forth as an example to those about to be ungodly:
7 namicha qajeelaa jechuunis Looxi isa jireenya xuraaʼaa finciltootaatiin dhiphachaa ture sana erga badiisa oolchee,
and he delivered righteous Lot, being grieved by the deportment of the ungodly in their debauchery:
8 namichi qajeelaan sun yeroo gidduu isaanii jiraachaa turetti guyyuma guyyaan fincila isaanii sana arguu fi dhagaʼuudhaan lubbuun isaa qajeeltuun sun isa keessatti dhiphachaa turtee,
(for the righteous man dwelling among them, by seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds: )
9 wanni kun akkas taʼee Gooftaan akkamitti akka warra Waaqaaf bulan qorumsa keessaa baasuu fi akka itti warra jalʼaa hamma guyyaa murtiitti adabbiif tursu beeka.
for the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations, and to keep the unrighteous unto the day of judgment enduring punishment:
10 Wanni kun keessumattuu warra hawwii foonii xuraaʼaa sana duukaa buʼanii fi warra abbootii taayitaa tuffatanitti ni cima. Namoonni kunneen ija jabeeyyii fi of tuultota; isaan ulfina qabeeyyii samii arrabsuu hin sodaatan;
and especially those going after the flesh in the lust of pollution, and despising lordship. Audacious darers, blaspheming, they do not tremble at glories;
11 ergamoonni iyyuu yoo isaan caalaa jajjaboo fi humna qabeeyyii taʼan iyyuu fuula Gooftaa duratti uumamawwan akkasii arrabsanii hin himatan.
where the angels, being greater in strength and power, do not bring a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
12 Namoonni kunneen garuu waanuma hin hubanne arrabsu. Isaan akkuma bineensota qalbii hin qabnee ti; akkuma uumamawwan miira isaaniitiin qajeelfaman kanneen qabamuu fi ajjeefamuu qofaaf dhalatanii ti; akkuma bineensonni sun badanitti jarris ni badu.
But these, like irrational animals having been born naturally for capture and destruction, blaspheming those things in which they are ignorant; in their own corruption they will indeed corrupt themselves;
13 Miidhaa isaan hojjetaniif miidhaatu deebiʼaaf. Isaan guyyaa adiidhaan gara malee machaaʼuu akka gammachuutti fudhatu. Yeroo isin wajjin nyaataa fi dhugaatiitti dhiʼaatanittis isaan gowwoomsaa isaaniitiin gidduu keessanitti xurii fi waan fafaa taʼu.
receiving the reward of unrighteousness, esteeming pleasure which is in the daytime; luxury; spots and blemishes, swelling in their deceits, feasting along with you,
14 Waan iji isaanii ejjaan guutameef isaan cubbuu hojjechuu hin dhiisan; warra hin jabaatin gowwoomsu; garaan isaanii doqnummaa barateera; isaan ijoollee abaaramanii dha!
having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin; beguiling unestablished souls: having a heart which has been made fat with covetousness; children of the curse:
15 Karaa qajeelaa dhiisanii karaa Balaʼaam ilma Bosoor isa gatii jalʼinaa jaallate sanaa duukaa buʼuuf karaa irraa badan.
leaving the straight way, they have wandered off, following in the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the reward of iniquity; and had the conviction of his own conscience:
16 Balaʼaam garuu sababii dogoggora isaatiif harreen isa ifatte; horiin duudaan afaan namaa dubbattee maraatummaa raajii sanaa ittifte.
the dumb workbeast having spoken with the voice of a man, rebuked the madness of the prophet.
17 Namoonni kunneen burqaa bishaan hin qabnee fi hurrii bubbeen oofamuu dha. Dukkanni limixiin isaaniif kaaʼameera. (questioned)
These are fountains without water, and mists driven away by the storm, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
18 Isaan dubbii faayidaa hin qabnee fi dubbii of tuulummaa odeessu; warra namoota jireenya dogoggoraa keessa jiraatan keessaa baqatanii baʼan hawwii foonii hamaadhaan gowwoomsu.
For speaking swelling words of vanity, in the lusts of the flesh they beguile with their impurities, those that have but partially escaped, who are still moving about in their delusion;
19 Isaan utuma ofii isaaniitii iyyuu garboota badiisaa taʼanii jiranuu birmadummaa isaan abdachiisu; namni tokko waan isa moʼate kamiifuu ni garboomaatii.
promising them liberty, they themselves being the slaves of corruption: for to whatsoever any one has been subordinated, to this he has become enslaved.
20 Isaan erga Gooftaa keenyaa fi Fayyisaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos beekuudhaan xuraaʼummaa addunyaa keessaa baʼanii booddee yoo amma illee deebiʼanii xuraaʼummaa sanaan qabamanii fudhataman haalli isaanii kan dhumaa isa jalqabaa sana caalaa hammaata.
For if having escaped the pollutions of the world through the perfect knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and having again become entangled in these things, they are overcome, the last state has to them become worse than the first.
21 Isaan karaa qajeelinaa beekanii ajaja qulqulluu isaanii kenname sanatti dugda galuu irra utuu duraanuu karaa qajeelinaa sana beekuu baatanii isaaniif wayya ture.
For it was better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment which has been delivered unto them.
22 Mammaaksi, “Sareen diddiga isheetti deebiti” akkasumas, “Booyyeen dhiqamte dhoqqee keessa gangalachuu isheetti deebiti” jedhu sun isaan irratti mirkaneeffame.
It has happened unto them according to the old proverb, The dog having returned to his own vomit; and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.
