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

¹ Yeen samay xarit, sama ñaareelu bataaxel a ngi nii. Bind naa leen, ngir xiir leen ci xalaat yu sell.

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 Maa ngi leen di fàttali kàdduy yonent yu sell, yi fi jiitu woon, ak ndigalu Boroom bi sunu Musalkat, li ngeen déggoon ci ndaw, yi Yàlla yebaloon fi yeen.

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

³ Nangeen jëkka xam lii: muju jamano dingeen gis ay tiiñalkat, di topp seen bakkan; dinañu leen tiiñal

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 ci di leen ne: Ki dige woon ne dina ñëw, ana mu? Ndaxte baay ya nelaw nañu, waaye lépp a ngi dox ca njàlbéen ga ba tey.

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 Fekk bëgguñoo xam lii: kàddug Yàllaa tax, asamaan ak àddina yu jëkk ya juddoo ca ndox, te dunde ko.

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

⁶ Te ndox it moo labal àddina sa, raafal ko.

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 Te kàddug Yàlla googu moo denc asamaan yii fi nekk ak suuf si, ngir lakk leen; Yàllaa ngi leen di nége bésub àtte, ba muy alag ñi weddi.

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 Yeen samay xarit, buleen umple ne, benn bés ak junniy at ñoo yem fi Boroom bi.

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 Li Yàlla dige, dina ko def, lu mu yeex-yeex ci xalaatu nit. Xanaa kay da leena muñal, ndax bëggul kenn alku, waaye ñépp tuub seeni bàkkaar.

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 Waaye bésu Boroom bi dina ñëw, bett àddina ni sàcc. Su boobaa, asamaan yi dinañu ne rajax toj, lu ne ci àddina lakk ba seey, te suuf ak lu mu ëmb dina ne fàŋŋ fa kanam Yàlla.

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

¹¹ Gannaaw loolu lépp dina seeye noonu nag, nangeen góor-góorlu ci gëna sellal seen nekkin, te feddali seen ragal Yàlla.

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 Te it ngeen taxaw temm ci séentu bésu Yàlla bi, te waajal ñëwam. Su boobaa, asamaan yi dinañu lakk, ba naaw ni pënd, te lu nekk ci àddina dina lakk, ba seey nib dóom.

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

¹³ Waaye nun ngi séentu asamaan su bees ak suuf su bees, fa njub dëkk, ci ni ko Yàlla dige.

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 Kon nag samay soppe, gannaaw yeena ngi séentu loolu, góor-góorluleen, ngir bu Krist ñëwee, mu fekk leen ci jàmm, ngeen baña am benn gàkk mbaa sikk.

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 Te jàppleen ne, muñug sunu Boroom muccu nit la. Sunu mbokk mi nu bëgg Pool bind na leen ko, ci xel mi ko Yàlla sol.

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 Noonu lay waxe ciy bataaxelam yépp di ci biral lii. Am na ci sax yu jafee xam, te ñi amul xam-xam te seen ngëm dëgërul di ko walbati, ba alag seen bopp, te loolu lañuy def ci Mbind yi ci des.

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 Noonu yeen samay xarit, gannaaw xam ngeen loolu ba noppi, moytuleen ñi weddi fàbbi leen ci seen réer, ba yolomal seen wàkkirlu ci Yàlla.

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 Waaye màggleen ci yiwu sunu Boroom ak Musalkat Yeesu Krist, te sax ci xam ko; moo yelloo ndam fii ba fàww.
