¹ Amma sanda mate kaŋ cine tangari annabiyaŋ goro jama ra za doŋ, yaadin cine no tangari dondonandikoyaŋ mo ga bangay araŋ game ra. I ga furo nda carmay ka kande dondonandiyaŋey kaŋ manti cimi wane yaŋ, kaŋ ga kande halaciyaŋ mo. I ga baa Koyo kaŋ n'i day din ze, ka halaciyaŋ candi ka kande ngey boŋ da waasi.

¹But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

² Boro boobo mo g'i gana ngey furkutara ra. I sabbay se mo borey ga cimi fonda jance.

²Many will follow their immoral TR reads “destructive” instead of “immoral” ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.

³ I biniya ra mo no tangari dondonandikoy ga pati-ka-dake sanniyaŋ te k'araŋ ciya fatawci hari. Ciito mo kaŋ Irikoy dumbu i se za doŋ si gay, i halaciyaŋo mo ga ba ka to.

³In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

⁴ Zama Irikoy mana malaykey* naŋ waato kaŋ i na zunubi te, amma a n'i catu Alaahara kaso ra k'i daŋ kubay guusey ra k'i jisi ciito se.

⁴For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus Tartarus is another name for Hell , and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

⁵ A mana doŋ ndunnya naŋ mo, amma a na Nuhu, kaŋ ga ti adilitaray waazukwa faaba, nga nda boro iyye fooyaŋ, waato kaŋ a kande tunfaana ndunnya borey kaŋ yaŋ wangu Irikoy boŋ.

⁵and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;

⁶ A na Saduma* nda Gomorata* birney ciiti mo da halaciyaŋ ciiti k'i ciya boosu. A n'i ciya deedandiyaŋ hari borey se kaŋ ga wangu Irikoy.

⁶and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly;

⁷ A na Lotu kaŋ ti boro adili faaba mo, nga kaŋ bina sara gumo boro laaley furkutaray gora sabbay se.

⁷and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked

⁸ (Zama boro adilo din kaŋ goono ga goro i game ra na nga bine adilanta* taabandi zaari ka kaa zaari asariya-jaŋay goyey kaŋ a goono ga di, kaŋ a goono ga maa mo sabbay se.)

⁸(for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):

⁹ Za kaŋ Rabbi na woodin yaŋ te, a ga bay mate kaŋ nga ga te ka nga ganakoy faaba taabi ra ka borey kaŋ sinda adilitaray gaay mo alhakku se hala ciiti zaaro ma kaa,

⁹the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment;

¹⁰ sanku fa borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga dira ngey bine ibaay laalo ziibey ra, kaŋ yaŋ ga donda mayray mo. Tangari dondonandikoy wo, farratanteyaŋ no, boŋ sando yaŋ mo no. I si jijiri waato kaŋ i goono ga beena beeraykoyey wow.

¹⁰but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

¹¹ Guna, baa malaykey kaŋ ga bis'ey gaabi ra da dabari ra si kande wowi ciiti i boŋ Rabbi jine.

¹¹whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.

¹² Amma boro woodin yaŋ goono ga hayey kaŋ i si faham nd'a kayna. I ga hima ganji hamyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ sinda laakal, kaŋ i n'i hay zama i m'i di ka halaci se. Haciika borey din ga halaci ngey hasarawo sabbay se.

¹²But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

¹³ I g'i bana nda taabi, taabandiyaŋo kaŋ i te din se. Bine kaani hari no i se i ma goy yaamoyaŋ te zaari kwaaray. Boroyaŋ no kaŋ ciya tombi nda laru. I goono ga maa kaani ngey hiila goyey ra, waati kaŋ i ga ŋwa araŋ banda.

¹³receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;

¹⁴ I moy ga to da zina, i si hin ka zunubi naŋ, i goono ga borey kaŋ mana kay ka boori hirri ka di. I na ngey biney dondonandi biniyay, izeyaŋ no kaŋ laali.

¹⁴having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

¹⁵ I na cimi fonda taŋ ka daray. I goono ga Balaam* Beyor izo fonda gana, nga kaŋ na nga bina daŋ goy laalo teeyaŋ alhakku gaa.

¹⁵forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;

¹⁶ Amma farka deeni a gaa a zunubo sabbay se. Farka kaŋ si waani sanni salaŋ a se da boro jinde ka annabo din bonkoma gaay.

¹⁶but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷ Borey din ya mansaarayaŋ no kaŋ koogu, beene buruyaŋ mo no kaŋ haw goono ga gaaray. Irikoy na kubay bi tik soola ka jisi i se.

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

¹⁸ Zama waato kaŋ i goono ga fooma sanni yaamoyaŋ ci, i ga goy da bine ibaay laaley furkutaray ra ka te kumsay borey se kaŋ mana gay ka du faaba ka fun darantey kambe ra.

¹⁸For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

¹⁹ I goono ga burcinitaray alkawli sambu i se, amma ngey bumbey go halaciyaŋ tamtaray ra. Zama haŋ kaŋ zaama boro boŋ, kulu boro ga ciya a se tam.

¹⁹promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

²⁰ Zama nda borey du faaba ndunnya ziibey gaa Rabbi kaŋ ti Faabakwa Yesu Almasihu bayra do, woodin banda i ye ka didiji koyne ndunnya ziibey ra hal i n'i zeeri, i kokora ga jaase i sintina gora.

²⁰For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

²¹ Zama a ga bisa i se i ma si adilitaray fonda bay, d'i ma bay a gaa, woodin banda i ma banda bare lordi* hanna kaŋ i no i se gaa.

²¹For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

²² Haŋ kaŋ te i se ga yaasay woone daahirandi kaŋ ne: «Hansi ga ye nga yeero do, gursuna way kaŋ nyumay mo ga ye ka bimbilko botogo ra.»

²²But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” Proverbs 26:11 and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
