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 false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Namoonni baayʼeenis amala isaanii isa qaanessaa sana duukaa buʼu; sababii isaaniitiinis karaan dhugaa ni arrabsama.
Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
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.
In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will 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 didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for 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 didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on 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 to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
7 namicha qajeelaa jechuunis Looxi isa jireenya xuraaʼaa finciltootaatiin dhiphachaa ture sana erga badiisa oolchee,
and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life 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 was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless 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.
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
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 those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 ergamoonni iyyuu yoo isaan caalaa jajjaboo fi humna qabeeyyii taʼan iyyuu fuula Gooftaa duratti uumamawwan akkasii arrabsanii hin himatan.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous 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, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
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 wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit 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 who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
15 Karaa qajeelaa dhiisanii karaa Balaʼaam ilma Bosoor isa gatii jalʼinaa jaallate sanaa duukaa buʼuuf karaa irraa badan.
Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
16 Balaʼaam garuu sababii dogoggora isaatiif harreen isa ifatte; horiin duudaan afaan namaa dubbattee maraatummaa raajii sanaa ittifte.
but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped 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 driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (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, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those 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.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
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 defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them 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 would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back 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 has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
