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

¹This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in [both] which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind,

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 words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;

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

³knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts,

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 coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus 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 hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God,

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

⁶through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.

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.

⁷But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

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

⁸But let not this one thing be hidden from 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.

⁹[The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

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.

¹⁰But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] 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 things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,

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 hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?

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

¹³But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

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, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;

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 account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him,

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 [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures, to 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.

¹⁷*Ye* therefore, beloved, knowing [these] things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should 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.

¹⁸but grow in grace, and in [the] knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen.
