< 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.
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Namoonni baayʼeenis amala isaanii isa qaanessaa sana duukaa buʼu; sababii isaaniitiinis karaan dhugaa ni arrabsama.
And many will follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of.
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 through covetousness they will with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
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 that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved to 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 saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing 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 turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an example to those that afterwards should live ungodly lives.
7 namicha qajeelaa jechuunis Looxi isa jireenya xuraaʼaa finciltootaatiin dhiphachaa ture sana erga badiisa oolchee,
And delivered just Lot, grieved with the habitual lewdness of the wicked:
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 that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, grieved [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.
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished:
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;
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 ergamoonni iyyuu yoo isaan caalaa jajjaboo fi humna qabeeyyii taʼan iyyuu fuula Gooftaa duratti uumamawwan akkasii arrabsanii hin himatan.
Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation 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, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption:
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.
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day-time. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast 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 adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: they have a heart exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Karaa qajeelaa dhiisanii karaa Balaʼaam ilma Bosoor isa gatii jalʼinaa jaallate sanaa duukaa buʼuuf karaa irraa badan.
Who have forsaken the right way, and gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 Balaʼaam garuu sababii dogoggora isaatiif harreen isa ifatte; horiin duudaan afaan namaa dubbattee maraatummaa raajii sanaa ittifte.
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 Namoonni kunneen burqaa bishaan hin qabnee fi hurrii bubbeen oofamuu dha. Dukkanni limixiin isaaniif kaaʼameera. (questioned)
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (questioned)
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 when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that had quite escaped from them who live in error.
19 Isaan utuma ofii isaaniitii iyyuu garboota badiisaa taʼanii jiranuu birmadummaa isaan abdachiisu; namni tokko waan isa moʼate kamiifuu ni garboomaatii.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage.
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 after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
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 had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Mammaaksi, “Sareen diddiga isheetti deebiti” akkasumas, “Booyyeen dhiqamte dhoqqee keessa gangalachuu isheetti deebiti” jedhu sun isaan irratti mirkaneeffame.
But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
