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

¹This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you],

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.

²to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,

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

³this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,

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.

⁴and saying, `Where is the promise of his presence? for since the fathers did fall asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation;`

⁵ Fekk bëgguñoo xam lii: kàddug Yàllaa tax, asamaan ak àddina yu jëkk ya juddoo ca ndox, te dunde ko.

⁵for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,

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

⁶through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed;

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.

⁷and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.

⁸ Yeen samay xarit, buleen umple ne, benn bés ak junniy at ñoo yem fi Boroom bi.

⁸And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

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.

⁹the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,

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.

¹⁰and it will come — the day of the Lord — as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

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

¹¹All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?

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.

¹²waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt;

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

¹³and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell;

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.

¹⁴wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,

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.

¹⁵and the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul — according to the wisdom given to him — did write to you,

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.

¹⁶as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction.

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.

¹⁷Ye, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, ye may fall from your own stedfastness,

¹⁸ Waaye màggleen ci yiwu sunu Boroom ak Musalkat Yeesu Krist, te sax ci xam ko; moo yelloo ndam fii ba fàww.

¹⁸and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him [is] the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen.
