Ballanka Imaatinka Rabbiga

Gacaliyayaalow, tanu waa warqaddii labaad oo aan idiin soo qoray, oo labadoodaba waxaan maankiinna daacadda ah ku guubaabinayaa xusuusin, inaad xusuusataan erayadii ay nebiyadii quduuska ahaa hore ugu hadleen, iyo amarkii Rabbiga Badbaadiyaha ah oo ay rasuulladiinnu ku hadleen. Marka hore waxaad og tihiin in maalmaha ugu dambeeya kuwa majaajiloodaa ay la iman doonaan majaajilo iyagoo damacyadooda daba socda, oo 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. Waayo, iyagu kaas bay u illoobaan in waagii hore samooyin jireen iyo dhul erayga Ilaah biyo lagaga dhex abuuray, kuwaas oo dunidii waagaas jirtay ay ku baabba'day iyadoo daad qaaday. Laakiinse samooyinka haatan jira iyo dhulkaba isku eray baa dab loogu kaydiyey, oo waxaa loo hayaa maalinta xisaabta iyo halligaadda dadka cibaadalaawayaasha ah.

Laakiinse, gacaliyayaalow, waxan keliya ha illoobina in maalin keliyahu Rabbiga la tahay sida kun sannadood, kun sannadoodna la yihiin sida maalin keliya. Rabbigu 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.

10 Laakiinse 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. 11 Haddii 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, 12 idinkoo sugaya oo aad ugu dadaalaya imaatinka maalinta Ilaah, taasoo samooyinku iyagoo ololaya ay baabbi'i doonaan, waxyaalaha abuuranna iyagoo gubanaya ayay dhalaali doonaan. 13 Laakiinse sidii uu inoo ballanqaaday, waxaynu sugaynaa samooyin cusub iyo dhul cusub oo xaqnimo dhex deggan tahay.

14 Sidaas daraaddeed, gacaliyayaalow, idinkoo waxyaalahaas sugaya, ku dadaala in laydin helo idinkoo nabdoon oo aan wasakh iyo eed lahayn Ilaah hortiisa. 15 Sidii walaalkeen gacaliye Bawlos idiinku soo qoray xigmaddii la siiyey, ku tiriya in dulqaadashada Rabbigeennu tahay badbaado; 16 siduu 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. 17 Sidaas daraaddeed, gacaliyayaalow, idinkoo waxyaalahan hore u garanayay, isjira, yaan laydinku kaxaysan qaladka kuwa sharka ah oo aydnaan ka dhicin adkaantiinna. 18 Laakiinse ku kora nimcada iyo aqoonta Rabbigeenna ah Badbaadiyeheenna Ciise Masiix. Isaga ammaanu ha u ahaato haatan iyo weligeedba. Aamiin.

The Day of the Lord

Dear friends,(A) this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders(B) to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets(C) and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.(D)

Above all, you must understand that in the last days(E) scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.(F) They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?(G) Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”(H) But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word(I) the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.(J) By these waters also the world of that time(K) was deluged and destroyed.(L) By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,(M) being kept for the day of judgment(N) and destruction of the ungodly.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.(O) The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,(P) as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient(Q) with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.(R)

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.(S) The heavens will disappear with a roar;(T) the elements will be destroyed by fire,(U) and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a](V)

11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward(W) to the day of God and speed its coming.[b](X) That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.(Y) 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,(Z) where righteousness dwells.

14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless(AA) and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience(AB) means salvation,(AC) just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.(AD) 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable(AE) people distort,(AF) as they do the other Scriptures,(AG) to their own destruction.

17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard(AH) so that you may not be carried away by the error(AI) of the lawless(AJ) and fall from your secure position.(AK) 18 But grow in the grace(AL) and knowledge(AM) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(AN) To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.(AO)

Footnotes

  1. 2 Peter 3:10 Some manuscripts be burned up
  2. 2 Peter 3:12 Or as you wait eagerly for the day of God to come

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
