2 Phexros 3
1 Yaa michoota jaallatamoo, ani amma xalayaa lammaffaa isiniif barreessuu koo ti. Lamaan isaanii iyyuu keessatti isin yaadachiisuudhaan qalbii keessan qulqulluu sana nan kakaasa.
I indeed, beloved, write unto you this second epistle; in which I stir up your pure mind by remembrance:
2 Isin dubbii dur raajota qulqulluudhaan dubbatamee fi ajaja Gooftaa keenyaa fi Fayyisaa keenyaa kan karaa ergamoota keessaniitiin dubbatame sana akka yaadattan nan barbaada.
to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles:
3 Akka bara dhumaa keessa gaʼistoonni gaʼisaa hawwii hamaa kan ofii isaanii duukaa buʼaa dhufan duraan dursaatii beekaa.
knowing this first, that at the last days mockers will come forth in scoffing, walking according to their own lusts,
4 Isaanis, “‘dhufaatiin’ inni waadaa gale kun meerre? Wanni hundinuu erga abbootiin keenya duʼanii jalqabee akkuma yeroo jalqaba uumamaatti itti fufeeraatii” jedhu.
and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the day when the fathers fell asleep, all things remain as from the beginning of creation.
5 Garuu isaan akka samiiwwan bara baayʼeen dura dubbii Waaqaatiin uumaman, akka laftis bishaan irraa fi bishaaniin tolfamte utuma beekanuu didan.
For they willingly forget this, that the heavens were in the olden time, and the earth standing out of the water and through the water, by the word of God;
6 Addunyaan yeroo sanaas bishaanuma kanaan liqimfamee bade.
by which the world at that time, being flooded with water, perished:
7 Dubbiidhuma kanaanis samiiwwanii fi lafti yeroo ammaa jiran kunneen guyyaa murtii, kan badiisa namoota Waaqaaf hin bulleetiif kaaʼamanii ibiddaaf turfamaniiru.
but now the heavens and the earth have been kept according to the same word, being reserved for fire in the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.
8 Yaa michoota jaallatamoo, isin garuu waan tokkicha kana hin irraanfatinaa. Gooftaa biratti guyyaan tokko akka waggaa kumaa, waggaan kumnis akka guyyaa tokkoo ti.
But let not this one thing be forgotten, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Gooftaan akka namoonni tokko tokko lafa irra harkifata jedhanii yaadan sana, waadaa isaa guutuu irratti lafa irra hin harkifatu. Inni akka namni hundinuu qalbii jijjiirrachuuf jedhee isinii obsa malee akka namni tokko iyyuu badu barbaadee miti.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some people count slackness; but is long-suffering for your sakes, not wishing that any should perish, but all come to repentance.
10 Guyyaan Gooftaa garuu akkuma hattuutti dhufa. Samiiwwan sagalee guddaadhaan dhabamu; wanni samiiwwan keessa jiru hundinuus hoʼa guddaadhaan baqa; laftii fi wanni ishee irra jiru hundinuus ni gubata.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements being scorched up will be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it will be burnt up.
11 Wanni hundinuu akkasitti bada erga taʼee, isin nama akkamii taʼuu qabdu ree? Jireenya qulqulluu fi Waaqaaf bulu jiraachuu qabdu;
Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness,
12 kanas guyyaa Waaqaa eeggachaa, dhufaatii isaas ariifachiisaa gochuu qabdu. Guyyaa sana samiiwwan ibiddaan badu; wanni samiiwwan keessa jirus hoʼaan baqa.
looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements being scorched up are melted?
13 Nu garuu akkuma waadaa isaatti samiiwwan haaraa fi lafa haaraa qajeelinni keessa jiraatu eegganna.
But, according to his promises, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, wherein righteousness dwells.
14 Kanaafuu yaa michoota jaallatamoo, isinis sababii waanuma kana eeggataniif akka warra xurii fi hirʼina hin qabne, warra nagaan isa wajjin jiraatan taataniif yaalii isinii dandaʼame hunda godhaa.
Therefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and blameless unto him in peace:
15 Akkuma Phaawulos obboleessi keenya jaallatamaan sun ogummaa Waaqni kenneefiin isinii barreesse sana akka obsi Gooftaa keenyaa fayyina taʼe yaadatti qabadhaa.
and consider the longsuffering of the Lord's salvation; as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom which was given unto him has written unto you;
16 Innis waaʼee waan kanaa dubbatee xalayoota isaa hunda keessatti haaluma kanaan barreessa. Xalayoota isaa keessas waan hubachuun nama rakkisu tokko tokkotu jira; wallaaltonnii fi warri jabaatanii hin dhaabanne akkuma Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluu kaan jalʼisan sana kanas badiidhuma ofii isaaniitiif ni jalʼisu.
as also in all his epistles, speaking in the same concerning these things; in which there are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unestablished wrest, as they also do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Kanaaf yaa michoota jaallatamoo, isin sababii duraan dursitanii waan kana beektaniif akka dogoggora finciltootaatiin fudhatamnii hundee jabaattanii irra dhaabattan irraa hin kufneef of eeggadhaa.
Then you, beloved, foreknowing watch, lest, having been led away by the delusion of the ungodly, you may fall from your own stedfastness:
The Great Flood
