2 Peter 3
1 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
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, wannan ita ce wasiƙata ta biyu gare ku. Na rubuta su biyun su zama abin tuni don su faɗakar da ku ga tunani mai kyau.
2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the emissaries of the Lord and Saviour,
Ina so ku tuna da kalmomin da annabawa masu tsarki na dā suka faɗa da kuma umarnin da Ubangijinmu da Mai Cetonmu ya bayar ta wurin manzanninku.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts
Da farko dai, dole ku fahimci wannan cewa a kwanakin ƙarshe masu ba’a za su zo suna ba’a, suna bin mugayen sha’awace-sha’awacensu.
4 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.”
Za su ce, “Ina wannan ‘dawowar’ da ya yi alkawari ne? Tun mutuwar kakanninmu, kome yana tafiya kamar yadda yake tun farkon halitta.”
5 For they wilfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,
Amma da gangan suke manta cewa tun dā can ta wurin maganar Allah sammai suka kasance aka kuma yi ƙasa daga ruwa ta wurin ruwa kuma.
6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
Ta wurin waɗannan ruwan ne aka nutsar, aka kuma hallakar da duniya ta wancan lokaci.
7 But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men.
Ta wurin wannan magana ce aka ajiye sammai da ƙasa na yanzu domin wuta, an ajiye su kuma don ranar hukunci da hallaka ta mutane marasa tsoron Allah.
8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Amma kada ku manta da wannan abu guda ɗaya, abokaina ƙaunatattu. Ga Ubangiji kwana ɗaya kamar shekaru dubu ne, shekaru dubu kuma kamar kwana ɗaya ne.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Ubangiji ba mai jinkiri ba ne wajen cika alkawarinsa, yadda waɗansunku suka fahimci jinkiri. Yana haƙuri da ku, ba ya so wani yă hallaka, sai dai kowa yă kai ga tuba.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, 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 that are in it will be burnt up.
Amma ranar Ubangiji za tă zo kamar ɓarawo. Sammai za su ɓace da ruri, abubuwan da suke cikinsu za su ƙone, ƙasa kuma da dukan abin da yake cikinta za su tonu.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
Da yake za a hallaka dukan abubuwa ta haka, waɗanne irin mutane ne ya kamata ku zama? Ya kamata ku yi rayuwar tsarki da ta tsoron Allah,
12 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?
yayinda kuke zuba ido ga zuwan ranar Allah kuna gaggauta zuwanta. Wannan rana za tă kawo wa sammai hallaka ta ƙunan wuta, abubuwa kuma za su narke don zafi.
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Amma bisa ga alkawarinsa muna zuba ido ga sabuwar sama da kuma sabuwar ƙasa, inda adalci zai yi zama.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.
Saboda haka, abokaina ƙaunatattu, da yake kuna zuba ido ga wannan, sai ku yi matuƙar ƙoƙari don a same ku ba tabo, sai dai zaman salama da shi.
15 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,
Ku yi zaman sanin cewa haƙurin Ubangijinmu yana nufin ceto ne, kamar yadda ƙaunataccen ɗan’uwanmu Bulus ma ya rubuta muku da hikimar da Allah ya ba shi.
16 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.
Haka yake rubutu cikin dukan wasiƙunsa, yana magana a cikinsu a kan waɗannan al’amura. Wasiƙunsa sun ƙunshi waɗansu abubuwa masu wuyar fahimta, waɗanda jahilai da kuma waɗanda ba tsayayyu ba ne suke murɗe ma’anarsu, kamar yadda suke yi da sauran Nassosi, ta haka suke jawo wa kansu hallaka.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
Saboda haka, abokaina ƙaunatattu, da yake kun riga kun san wannan, sai ku zauna a faɗake don kada a ɗauke hankalinku ta wurin kuskuren marasa bin dokan nan har ku fāɗi daga matsayinku.
