1 L aakiinse 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 also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who covertly shall bring in destructive sects and shall deny the Lord that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

2 K uwa badan baa raaci doona ficiladooda nijaasta ah, oo sababtooda ayaa loo caayi doonaa jidka runta ah.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be blasphemed;

3 D amac xumaan bay hadallo iskayeelyeel ah idinkaga baayacmushtari doonaan, kuwaas oo xukunkoodii waa hore lagu xukumay uusan haatan raagayn, halligaaddoodiina ayan gam'ayn.

¶ and in covetousness they shall make merchandise of you with feigned words, upon whom the condemnation from a long time ago does not delay, and their perdition does not sleep.

4 M axaa 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.

For if God did not forgive the angels that sinned, but cast them down into the deepest abyss and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5 O o 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.

and if he did not forgive the old world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven other persons, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 O o magaalooyinkii ahaa Sodom iyo Gomorana wuxuu ka dhigay dambas, oo intuu afgembi ku xukumay, ayuu masaal uga dhigay kuwii cibaadalaawayaal noqon lahaa,

and if he condemned by destruction the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha, turning them into ashes, making them an example unto those that after should live without fear and reverence of God;

7 o o wuxuu ka samatabbixiyey Luud kii xaqa ahaa oo aad loogu saxariiriyey sharcilaawayaashii dabiicaddoodii nijaasta ahayd.

¶ and delivered just Lot, who was persecuted by those abominable people because of their nefarious conversation;

8 W aayo, 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 that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, afflicted his righteous soul from day to day with the deeds of those unjust people);

9 R abbigu waa yaqaan sida kuwa cibaadada leh jirrabaadda looga samatabbixiyo iyo sida kuwa aan xaqa ahayn loo hayo iyagoo ciqaaban ilaa maalinta xisaabta,

the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished;

10 k husuusan 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.

¶ and chiefly those that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise dominion; presumptuous, arrogant, they are not afraid to speak evil of the higher powers;

11 M alaa'iguhuna in kastoo ay iyaga itaal iyo xoogba ka badan yihiin, iyaga dacwo cay ah Rabbiga hortiisa kagama dacweeyaan.

whereas even the angels, who are greater in power and might, bring no curse of judgment against them before the Lord.

12 L aakiinse 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.

But these, speaking evil of the things that they do not understand (as natural animals without reason, who are made to be taken and destroyed), shall utterly perish in their own corruption,

13 X aqdarradooda 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.

receiving the reward of their unrighteousness, as those that count it pleasure to live luxuriously every day. These are spots and blemishes, who eat together with you, while at the same time they revel in their deceit,

14 W axay 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.

having their eyes full of adultery, and not knowing how to cease from sin, baiting unstable souls, having their heart exercised in covetous practices; cursed sons,

15 J idkii qummanaa ayay ka leexdeen oo way ambadeen, waxayna raaceen jidkii Balcaam ina Becoor oo jeclaaday abaalgudka xaqdarrada.

who forsaking the right way have erred, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

16 L aakiinse isaga waxaa loo canaantay xadgudubkiisii aawadiis. Dameer carrab la' ayaa ku hadlay dad codkiis, oo wuxuu joojiyey waallidii nebiga.

and was rebuked for his iniquity; a dumb animal accustomed to a yoke (upon which he was seated), speaking with man’s voice, hindered the madness of the prophet.

17 K uwanu waa ilo aan biyo lahayn, iyo ceeryaamo uu duufaan kaxeeyo, oo waxaa iyaga daraaddood loo sii dhigay madowga gudcurka.

These are wells without water, clouds that are brought by a whirlwind, to whom gross darkness is reserved for ever.

18 W aayo, 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;

For speaking arrogant words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from those who converse in error,

19 o o waxay iyaga ugu ballanqaadaan xorriyad, laakiinse iyaga qudhooduba waa addoommadii kharribaadda. Waayo, wixii ka adkaada nin ayaa isaga addoonsada.

promising them liberty, being they themselves the slaves of corruption: for he who is overcome by someone is subject to bondage by the one that overcame him.

20 W aayo, 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.

Certainly, if having separated themselves from the contaminations of the world, by the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they again entangle themselves therein and are overcome, their latter end is made worse for them than the beginnings.

21 I ntii 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.

For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22 W ixii maahmaahda runta ah lagu yidhi ayaa iyaga ku dhacay. Eeygu wuxuu ku noqdaa mantaggiisa. Doofaarraddii maydhatayna waxay dib ugu noqotaa gelgelinta dhoobada.

But it has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog returns unto his own vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
