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.
Consider, most beloved, this second epistle which I am writing to you, in which I stir up, by admonition, your sincere mind,
2 Isin dubbii dur raajota qulqulluudhaan dubbatamee fi ajaja Gooftaa keenyaa fi Fayyisaa keenyaa kan karaa ergamoota keessaniitiin dubbatame sana akka yaadattan nan barbaada.
so that you may be mindful of those words that I preached to you from the holy prophets, and of the precepts of the Apostles of your Lord and Savior.
3 Akka bara dhumaa keessa gaʼistoonni gaʼisaa hawwii hamaa kan ofii isaanii duukaa buʼaa dhufan duraan dursaatii beekaa.
Know this first: that in the last days there will arrive deceitful mockers, walking according to their own desires,
4 Isaanis, “‘dhufaatiin’ inni waadaa gale kun meerre? Wanni hundinuu erga abbootiin keenya duʼanii jalqabee akkuma yeroo jalqaba uumamaatti itti fufeeraatii” jedhu.
saying: “Where is his promise or his advent? For from the time that the fathers have slept, all things have continued just as they were 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.
But they willfully ignore this: that the heavens existed first, and that the earth, from water and through water, was established by the Word of God.
6 Addunyaan yeroo sanaas bishaanuma kanaan liqimfamee bade.
By water, the former world then, having been inundated 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 the heavens and the earth that exist now were restored by the same Word, being reserved unto fire on the day of judgment, and unto the perdition of impious men.
8 Yaa michoota jaallatamoo, isin garuu waan tokkicha kana hin irraanfatinaa. Gooftaa biratti guyyaan tokko akka waggaa kumaa, waggaan kumnis akka guyyaa tokkoo ti.
Yet truly, let this one thing not escape notice, most beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like 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 delaying his promise, as some imagine, but he does act patiently for your sake, not wanting anyone to perish, but wanting all to be turned back to penance.
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.
Then the day of the Lord shall arrive like a thief. On that day, the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and truly the elements shall be dissolved with heat; then the earth, and the works that are within it, shall be completely burned up.
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 dissolved, what kind of people ought you to be? In behavior and in piety, be holy,
12 kanas guyyaa Waaqaa eeggachaa, dhufaatii isaas ariifachiisaa gochuu qabdu. Guyyaa sana samiiwwan ibiddaan badu; wanni samiiwwan keessa jirus hoʼaan baqa.
waiting for, and hurrying toward, the advent of the day of the Lord, by which the burning heavens shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt from the heat of the fire.
13 Nu garuu akkuma waadaa isaatti samiiwwan haaraa fi lafa haaraa qajeelinni keessa jiraatu eegganna.
Yet truly, in accord with his promises, we are looking forward to the new heavens and the new earth, in which justice lives.
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, most beloved, while awaiting these things, be diligent, so that you may be found to be immaculate and unassailable before 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 let the longsuffering of our Lord be considered salvation, as also our most beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written 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.
just as he also spoke in all of his epistles about these things. In these, there are certain things which are difficult to understand, which the unlearned and the unsteady distort, 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.
But since you, brothers, know these things beforehand, be cautious, lest by being drawn into the error of the foolish, you may fall away from your own steadfastness.
18 Garuu ayyaanaa fi beekumsa Gooftaa keenyaa fi Fayyisaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin guddadhaa. Ammas, bara baraanis ulfinni isaaf haa taʼu! Ameen. (aiōn g165)
Yet truly, increase in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory, both now and in the day of eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
The World is Destroyed by Water
