1 G acaliyayaalow, tanu waa warqaddii labaad oo aan idiin soo qoray, oo labadoodaba waxaan maankiinna daacadda ah ku guubaabinayaa xusuusin,

Beloved, I am now writing you this second letter. In them I have stirred up your unsullied (sincere) mind by way of remembrance,

2 i naad xusuusataan erayadii ay nebiyadii quduuska ahaa hore ugu hadleen, iyo amarkii Rabbiga Badbaadiyaha ah oo ay rasuulladiinnu ku hadleen.

That you should recall the predictions of the holy (consecrated, dedicated) prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles (His special messengers).

3 M arka hore waxaad og tihiin in maalmaha ugu dambeeya kuwa majaajiloodaa ay la iman doonaan majaajilo iyagoo damacyadooda daba socda,

To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers (mockers) will come in the last days with scoffing, walk after their own fleshly desires

4 o o 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 say, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the forefathers fell asleep, all things have continued exactly as they did from the beginning of creation.

5 W aayo, iyagu kaas bay u illoobaan in waagii hore samooyin jireen iyo dhul erayga Ilaah biyo lagaga dhex abuuray,

For they willfully overlook and forget this, that the heavens existence long ago by the word of God, and the earth also which was formed out of water and by means of water,

6 k uwaas oo dunidii waagaas jirtay ay ku baabba'day iyadoo daad qaaday.

Through which the world that then was deluged with water and perished.

7 L aakiinse samooyinka haatan jira iyo dhulkaba isku eray baa dab loogu kaydiyey, oo waxaa loo hayaa maalinta xisaabta iyo halligaadda dadka cibaadalaawayaasha ah.

But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people.

8 L aakiinse, gacaliyayaalow, waxan keliya ha illoobina in maalin keliyahu Rabbiga la tahay sida kun sannadood, kun sannadoodna la yihiin sida maalin keliya.

Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.

9 R abbigu 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 does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.

10 L aakiinse 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 like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish (pass away) with a thunderous crash, and the '> material] elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

11 H addii 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,

Since all these things are thus in the process of being dissolved, what kind of person ought you to be in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities,

12 i dinkoo sugaya oo aad ugu dadaalaya imaatinka maalinta Ilaah, taasoo samooyinku iyagoo ololaya ay baabbi'i doonaan, waxyaalaha abuuranna iyagoo gubanaya ayay dhalaali doonaan.

While you wait and earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the day of God by reason of which the flaming heavens will be dissolved, and the '> material] elements will flare and melt with fire?

13 L aakiinse sidii uu inoo ballanqaaday, waxaynu sugaynaa samooyin cusub iyo dhul cusub oo xaqnimo dhex deggan tahay.

But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness (uprightness, freedom from sin, and right standing with God) is to abide.

14 S idaas daraaddeed, gacaliyayaalow, idinkoo waxyaalahaas sugaya, ku dadaala in laydin helo idinkoo nabdoon oo aan wasakh iyo eed lahayn Ilaah hortiisa.

So, beloved, since you are expecting these things, be eager to be found by Him without spot or blemish and at peace '> free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].

15 S idii walaalkeen gacaliye Bawlos idiinku soo qoray xigmaddii la siiyey, ku tiriya in dulqaadashada Rabbigeennu tahay badbaado;

And consider that the long-suffering of our Lord '> His slowness in avenging wrongs and judging the world] is salvation ( that which is conducive to the soul’s safety), even as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the spiritual insight given him,

16 s iduu 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.

Speaking of this as he does in all of his letters. There are some things in those that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as the rest of the Scriptures.

17 S idaas daraaddeed, gacaliyayaalow, idinkoo waxyaalahan hore u garanayay, isjira, yaan laydinku kaxaysan qaladka kuwa sharka ah oo aydnaan ka dhicin adkaantiinna.

Let me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked fall from your own firm condition.

18 L aakiinse ku kora nimcada iyo aqoonta Rabbigeenna ah Badbaadiyeheenna Ciise Masiix. Isaga ammaanu ha u ahaato haatan iyo weligeedba. Aamiin.

But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him glory (honor, majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)!
