< 2 Butros 3 >

1 Gacaliyayaalow, tanu waa warqaddii labaad oo aan idiin soo qoray, oo labadoodaba waxaan maankiinna daacadda ah ku guubaabinayaa xusuusin,
This second letter, beloved, I now write to you, in both which I stir up your pure minds by putting you in remembrance;
2 inaad xusuusataan erayadii ay nebiyadii quduuska ahaa hore ugu hadleen, iyo amarkii Rabbiga Badbaadiyaha ah oo ay rasuulladiinnu ku hadleen.
that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;
3 Marka hore waxaad og tihiin in maalmaha ugu dambeeya kuwa majaajiloodaa ay la iman doonaan majaajilo iyagoo damacyadooda daba socda,
knowing this first, that there will come in the last days open scoffers following their own lusts,
4 oo waxay odhan doonaan, Ballankii imaatinkiisii meeh? Waayo, haatan iyo maalintii awowayaashii ay dhinteen wax waluba waxay u socdaan sidii ay ahaayeen tan iyo bilowgii abuurniinta.
and saying, Where is his promised coming? for, from the time when the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as then, and as they have continued from the beginning of the creation.
5 Waayo, iyagu kaas bay u illoobaan in waagii hore samooyin jireen iyo dhul erayga Ilaah biyo lagaga dhex abuuray,
For of this they are willingly ignorant, that of old by the word of God there were heavens, and an earth formed out of the water and by the water,
6 kuwaas oo dunidii waagaas jirtay ay ku baabba'day iyadoo daad qaaday.
by means of which the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished;
7 Laakiinse samooyinka haatan jira iyo dhulkaba isku eray baa dab loogu kaydiyey, oo waxaa loo hayaa maalinta xisaabta iyo halligaadda dadka cibaadalaawayaasha ah.
but the present heavens and the present earth are by his word kept in store, reserved for fire against the day of judgment and the perdition of ungodly men.
8 Laakiinse, gacaliyayaalow, waxan keliya ha illoobina in maalin keliyahu Rabbiga la tahay sida kun sannadood, kun sannadoodna la yihiin sida maalin keliya.
But forget not, beloved, this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 Rabbigu kama raago inuu ballankiisa oofiyo sida dadka qaarkiis ku tiriyo inay tahay raagid, laakiinse idinkuu idiin dulqaadanayaa, oo dooni maayo in qofnaba halligmo, laakiinse wuxuu doonayaa in kulli la wada toobadkeeno.
The Lord is not tardy concerning his promise, as some men count tardiness; but is long-suffering toward you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 Laakiinse maalinta Rabbigu waxay u iman doontaa sida tuug oo kale; maalintaas oo ay samooyinku baabbi'i doonaan iyagoo sanqadh weynu ka yeedhayso, oo waxyaalaha abuuranna iyagoo gubanaya ayay baabbi'i doonaan. Dhulka iyo shuqullada ku jirana waa la gubi doonaa.
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 melt with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein will be burned up.
11 Haddii waxyaalahan oo dhammu ay sidaas u baabbi'i doonaan, haddaba dad caynkee ah baa idinku waajib ah inaad noqotaan si aad ugu dhaqantaan dabiicad quduus ah iyo cibaado,
Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 idinkoo sugaya oo aad ugu dadaalaya imaatinka maalinta Ilaah, taasoo samooyinku iyagoo ololaya ay baabbi'i doonaan, waxyaalaha abuuranna iyagoo gubanaya ayay dhalaali doonaan.
looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat!
13 Laakiinse sidii uu inoo ballanqaaday, waxaynu sugaynaa samooyin cusub iyo dhul cusub oo xaqnimo dhex deggan tahay.
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Sidaas daraaddeed, gacaliyayaalow, idinkoo waxyaalahaas sugaya, ku dadaala in laydin helo idinkoo nabdoon oo aan wasakh iyo eed lahayn Ilaah hortiisa.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, be diligent that ye may be found without spot and blameless before him in peace,
15 Sidii walaalkeen gacaliye Bawlos idiinku soo qoray xigmaddii la siiyey, ku tiriya in dulqaadashada Rabbigeennu tahay badbaado;
and account the long-suffering of our Lord salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,
16 siduu warqadihiisii oo dhan waxyaalahan ugaga hadlay. Kuwaas waxaa ku jira wax in la gartaa ay dhib tahay, oo jaahiliinta iyo kuwaan adkayn ayaa qalloociya, siday Qorniinka kaleba u qalloociyaan oo ay u halligmaan.
as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which things are some that are hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as also the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Sidaas daraaddeed, gacaliyayaalow, idinkoo waxyaalahan hore u garanayay, isjira, yaan laydinku kaxaysan qaladka kuwa sharka ah oo aydnaan ka dhicin adkaantiinna.
Do ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things beforehand, beware lest, being led away with the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own steadfastness.
18 Laakiinse ku kora nimcada iyo aqoonta Rabbigeenna ah Badbaadiyeheenna Ciise Masiix. Isaga ammaanu ha u ahaato haatan iyo weligeedba. Aamiin. (aiōn g165)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, both now and for ever. (aiōn g165)
