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

¹This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by 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.

²that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior:

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

³knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after 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 day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were 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 they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;

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

⁶by which means the world that then was, being overflowed 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 heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the 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 don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord 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 concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing 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 the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

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

¹¹Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living 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.

¹²looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

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 look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

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.

¹⁴Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight.

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.

¹⁵Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote 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 of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to 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.

¹⁷You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.

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 the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
