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.
This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
2 Isin dubbii dur raajota qulqulluudhaan dubbatamee fi ajaja Gooftaa keenyaa fi Fayyisaa keenyaa kan karaa ergamoota keessaniitiin dubbatame sana akka yaadattan nan barbaada.
that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles:
3 Akka bara dhumaa keessa gaʼistoonni gaʼisaa hawwii hamaa kan ofii isaanii duukaa buʼaa dhufan duraan dursaatii beekaa.
knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and walking after 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 that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
5 Garuu isaan akka samiiwwan bara baayʼeen dura dubbii Waaqaatiin uumaman, akka laftis bishaan irraa fi bishaaniin tolfamte utuma beekanuu didan.
For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
6 Addunyaan yeroo sanaas bishaanuma kanaan liqimfamee bade.
by which means the world that then was, being deluged with water, was destroyed.
7 Dubbiidhuma kanaanis samiiwwanii fi lafti yeroo ammaa jiran kunneen guyyaa murtii, kan badiisa namoota Waaqaaf hin bulleetiif kaaʼamanii ibiddaaf turfamaniiru.
But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of 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 do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord 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 slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should 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 as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works on it will not be found.
11 Wanni hundinuu akkasitti bada erga taʼee, isin nama akkamii taʼuu qabdu ree? Jireenya qulqulluu fi Waaqaaf bulu jiraachuu qabdu;
Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living 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 earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 Nu garuu akkuma waadaa isaatti samiiwwan haaraa fi lafa haaraa qajeelinni keessa jiraatu eegganna.
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which 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, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.
15 Akkuma Phaawulos obboleessi keenya jaallatamaan sun ogummaa Waaqni kenneefiin isinii barreesse sana akka obsi Gooftaa keenyaa fayyina taʼe yaadatti qabadhaa.
Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to 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 of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to 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.
You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
The World is Destroyed by Water
