< 2 Butros 2 >

1 Laakiinse waxaa dadkii ka dhex kacay nebiyo been ah, oo idinkana sidaas oo kale waxaa idinku dhex jiri doona macallimiin been ah, oo qarsoodi idinku keeni doona bidcinimo wax halligaysa, iyagoo diidaya xataa Sayidkii soo iibsaday, oo dushooda ku soo dejinaya halligaad dhaqso ah.
But there were false prophets also in the nation, just as there will be false teachers among you, people who will secretly introduce ruinous divisions, disowning even the Lord who bought them, and bringing speedy ruin on themselves.
2 Kuwa badan baa raaci doona ficiladooda nijaasta ah, oo sababtooda ayaa loo caayi doonaa jidka runta ah.
There will be many, too, who will follow their licentious courses, and cause the way of the truth to be maligned.
3 Damac xumaan bay hadallo iskayeelyeel ah idinkaga baayacmushtari doonaan, kuwaas oo xukunkoodii waa hore lagu xukumay uusan haatan raagayn, halligaaddoodiina ayan gam'ayn.
In their covetousness they will try to make you a source of profit by their fabrications; but for a long time past their sentence has not been standing idle, nor their ruin slumbering.
4 Maxaa yeelay, Ilaah uma tudhin malaa'igihii dembaabay, laakiinse wuxuu iyagii ku tuuray cadaabta, oo wuxuu ku riday godad gudcur ah iyagoo xukun aawadiis loo hayo. (Tartaroō g5020)
Remember, God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them down to Tartarus, and consigned them to caverns of darkness, to be kept under guard for judgment. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Oo dunidii horena uma u tudhin, laakiinse wuxuu badbaadshay Nuux, oo ahaa mid xaqnimada wax ku wacdiya, iyo toddoba qof oo kale, markuu daadkii ku soo daayay dunidii cibaadalaawayaasha.
Nor did he spare the world of old; though he preserved Noah, the preacher of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought a flood on the godless world.
6 Oo magaalooyinkii ahaa Sodom iyo Gomorana wuxuu ka dhigay dambas, oo intuu afgembi ku xukumay, ayuu masaal uga dhigay kuwii cibaadalaawayaal noqon lahaa,
He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, holding them up as a warning to the godless of what was in store for them;
7 oo wuxuu ka samatabbixiyey Luud kii xaqa ahaa oo aad loogu saxariiriyey sharcilaawayaashii dabiicaddoodii nijaasta ahayd.
but he rescued righteous Lot, whose heart was vexed by the wanton licentiousness of his neighbours;
8 Waayo, ninkaas xaqa ahaa iyaguu dhex degganaa, oo waxaa naftiisii xaqa ahayd maalin ka maalin silciyey camaladoodii sharciga ka geesta ahaa markuu arkay oo maqlay.
for, seeing and hearing what he did, as he lived his righteous life among them, day after day, Lot’s righteous soul was tortured by their wicked doings.
9 Rabbigu waa yaqaan sida kuwa cibaadada leh jirrabaadda looga samatabbixiyo iyo sida kuwa aan xaqa ahayn loo hayo iyagoo ciqaaban ilaa maalinta xisaabta,
The Lord, therefore, knows how to deliver the pious from temptation, and to keep the wicked, who are even now suffering punishment, in readiness for “the day of judgment” –
10 khusuusan kuwa jidhka raaca, iyagoo damaca nijaasta ah ku socda, oo sayidnimada quudhsada. Iyagu waa indha adag yihiin oo waa macangag, kamana cabsadaan inay kuwa derejada leh caayaan.
especially those who, following the promptings of their lower nature, indulge their polluting passions and despise all control. Audacious and self-willed, they feel no awe of the celestial beings, maligning them,
11 Malaa'iguhuna in kastoo ay iyaga itaal iyo xoogba ka badan yihiin, iyaga dacwo cay ah Rabbiga hortiisa kagama dacweeyaan.
even where angels, though excelling them in strength and power, do not bring against them a malignant charge before the Lord.
12 Laakiinse kuwanu waa sida xayawaan aan caqli lahayn oo u dhashay in la qabsado oo la dilo, oo waxay caayaan wax aanay garanayn. Hubaal iyagu halligaaddooda ayay ku halligmi doonaan.
These people, however, like animals without reason, intended by nature to be caught and killed – these people, I say, malign those of whom they know nothing, and will assuredly perish through their own corruption,
13 Xaqdarradooda waxaa loogu abaalgudaa xaqdarro, oo waxaa iyaga la wanaagsan inay maalinnimada raaxaystaan. Iyagu waa waskhaamiin iyo ceebaalowyo, oo markay idinla feeysteeyaan waxay ku raaxaystaan khiyaanadooda.
suffering themselves, as the penalty for the suffering that they have inflicted. They think that pleasure consists in the self-indulgence of the moment. They are a stain and a disgrace, indulging, as they do, in their wanton revelry, even while joining you at your feasts.
14 Waxay leeyihiin indho sino miidhan ah oo aan dembi ka joogsan karin. Kuwa aan adkayn ayay sasabtaan, waxayna leeyihiin qalbi damacxumaan ku noqnoqda, oo waa dad nacladeed.
They have eyes only for adulteresses, eyes never tired of sin; they entice weak souls; their minds are trained to covet; they live under a curse.
15 Jidkii qummanaa ayay ka leexdeen oo way ambadeen, waxayna raaceen jidkii Balcaam ina Becoor oo jeclaaday abaalgudka xaqdarrada.
Leaving the straight road, they have gone astray and followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who set his heart on the reward for wrongdoing,
16 Laakiinse isaga waxaa loo canaantay xadgudubkiisii aawadiis. Dameer carrab la' ayaa ku hadlay dad codkiis, oo wuxuu joojiyey waallidii nebiga.
but was rebuked for his offence. A dumb animal spoke with a human voice, and checked the prophet’s madness.
17 Kuwanu waa ilo aan biyo lahayn, iyo ceeryaamo uu duufaan kaxeeyo, oo waxaa iyaga daraaddood loo sii dhigay madowga gudcurka.
These people are like springs without water, or mists driven before a gale; and for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.
18 Waayo, iyagu waxay ku hadlaan hadal faan ah oo aan micne lahayn, oo kuwa in yar kaga baxsanaya kuwa qaladka ku socda ayay ku sasabtaan damacyada jidhka xagga nijaasta;
With boastful and foolish talk, they appeal to the passions of people’s lower nature, and, by their profligacy, entice those who are just escaping from the people who live such misguided lives.
19 oo waxay iyaga ugu ballanqaadaan xorriyad, laakiinse iyaga qudhooduba waa addoommadii kharribaadda. Waayo, wixii ka adkaada nin ayaa isaga addoonsada.
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to corrupt habits; for a person is the slave of anything to which they give way.
20 Waayo, markii ay nijaasta dunida kaga baxsadeen aqoontii Rabbiga ah Badbaadiyeheenna Ciise Masiix, haddii ay haddana ku dhex murgaan oo laga adkaado, xaalkooda dambe waa ka sii xumaadaa kii hore.
If, after having escaped the polluting influences of the world, through knowing our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, people are again entangled in them, and give way to them, their last state has become worse than their first.
21 Intii ay jidka xaqnimada aqoon lahaayeen oo ay dib uga noqon lahaayeen amarka quduuska ah oo iyaga la siiyey, waxaa uga wanaagsanaan lahayd inayan aqoon jidkaas.
It would, indeed, have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn away from the holy command delivered to them.
22 Wixii maahmaahda runta ah lagu yidhi ayaa iyaga ku dhacay. Eeygu wuxuu ku noqdaa mantaggiisa. Doofaarraddii maydhatayna waxay dib ugu noqotaa gelgelinta dhoobada.
In their case is seen the truth of the proverb – “A dog returns to what it has vomited” and “A sow after washing to her wallowing-place in the mud.”
