¹This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

¹ Ay baakoy, woone ga ti tira hinkanta kaŋ ay go ga hantum araŋ se. I boro hinka ra mo ay goono ga fonguyaŋ hanno cimikoyo tunandi araŋ laakaley ra k'araŋ fongandi.

²That 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:

² Ay ga ba araŋ ma fongu nda sanney kaŋ annabi* hanantey jin ka ci, da Rabbi kaŋ ti Faabakwa lordo mo kaŋ araŋ diyey ci.

³Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

³ Sintina day araŋ ma woone bay: jirbi banantey ra hahaarakoyaŋ ga kaa, kaŋ goono ga ngey ibaay laaley gana. I ga hahaara

⁴And 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.

⁴ ka ne: «Man a kaayaŋo alkawlo? Zama za hano kaŋ hane iri kaayey kani, hayey kulu go no danga mate kaŋ cine i go za takayaŋ sintina.»

⁵For 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:

⁵ Zama i cacar ka dinya woone: za doŋ Irikoy sanno boŋ beena go no, laabo te mo ka fatta haro ra haro bindo ra mo.

⁶Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

⁶ Hayey din do ndunnya kaŋ go no alwaato din halaci, waato kaŋ tunfaana haro n'a daabu.

⁷But 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.

⁷ Amma beena da ganda kaŋ go no sohõ, sanni follonka din boŋ no Irikoy n'i jisi danji se. A goono g'i gaay hala zaaro kaŋ ra a ga borey kaŋ yaŋ wangu nga ciiti ka halaci.

⁸But, 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.

⁸ Amma, ay baakoy, araŋ ma si dinya hari folloŋ kaŋ ga ti: zaari folloŋ Rabbi do danga jiiri zambar no, jiiri zambar mo danga zaari folloŋ no.

⁹The 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.

⁹ Rabbi si muray da nga alkawlo, mate kaŋ cine boro fooyaŋ ga muray lasaabu, amma a ciya suurante araŋ se. A si ba boro kulu ma halaci, amma a ga ba boro kulu ma tuubi.

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰ Amma Rabbi zaaro ga kaa danga zay cine. Zaaro din ra mo beena ga bisa nda kosongu bambata. Hayey kaŋ Irikoy na hay kulu kaŋ go ndunnya ra taka nd'a mo ga manne nda konni bambata. Ndunnya da goyey kaŋ go a ra ga ton.

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

¹¹ Za kaŋ hayey din kulu ga halaci yaadin cine, boro woofo yaŋ dumi no a ga hima araŋ ma bara goray hanna ra da Irikoy ganayaŋ ra,

¹²Looking 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?

¹² waati kaŋ araŋ goono ga Irikoy zaaro batu k'a kaayaŋo muraadu gumo? A kaayaŋ zaaro sabbay se beena ga di da danji ka halaci. Hayey kaŋ Irikoy na hay kulu kaŋ go ndunnya ra taka nd'a mo ga manne nda konni bambata.

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

¹³ Amma Irikoy alkawlo boŋ iri goono ga hangan beene tajey da ganda tajo se, nangey kaŋ adilitaray ga nga gora te.

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

¹⁴ Woodin sabbay se, ay baakoy, za kaŋ araŋ goono ga hayey din batu, kal araŋ ma anniya haw hala Irikoy m'araŋ gar tombi si, taali si laakal kanay ra.

¹⁵And 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;

¹⁵ Koyne, araŋ ma iri Rabbo suuro lasaabu danga faaba _alwaati|_, mate kaŋ cine iri nya-izo, Bulos, iri baakwa hantum araŋ se fahama boŋ kaŋ Irikoy n'a no.

¹⁶As 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.

¹⁶ Yaadin mo no a hantum nga tirey kulu ra, nangey kaŋ a ga salaŋ nda hayey din. Hay fooyaŋ mo go a tirey ra kaŋ i fahama ga sandi, kaŋ boŋ-biyey da borey kaŋ yaŋ mana cimi bay goono g'i fasaryaŋo diibi nda tangari. I goono ga woodin te da Irikoy Tira Hanney nangu cindey mo ka koy ngey boŋ halaciyaŋ gaa.

¹⁷Ye 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.

¹⁷ Yaadin gaa, araŋ wo, ay baakoy, zama araŋ jin ka woodin bay, araŋ ma haggoy boro laaley ma s'araŋ candi darayyaŋ ra hal araŋ ma fun araŋ kayyaŋ nangu gaabikoono ra ka kaŋ.

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

¹⁸ Amma araŋ ma soobay ka beeri iri Rabbo kaŋ ti iri Faabakwa Yesu Almasihu gomno d'a bayra ra. Darza ma bara a se sohõ da hal abada abadin. Amin!
