٢ بطرس 2
| وَلَكِنْ، كَانَ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ أَنْبِيَاءُ كَذَبَةٌ، كَمَا سَيَكُونُ فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا مُعَلِّمُونَ كَذَبَةٌ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَدُسُّونَ بِدَعَ هَلَاكٍ. وَإِذْ هُمْ يُنْكِرُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَرَاهُمْ، يَجْلِبُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ هَلَاكًا سَرِيعًا. | ١ 1 |
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies. They will even deny the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
| وَسَيَتْبَعُ كَثِيرُونَ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ. ٱلَّذِينَ بِسَبَبِهِمْ يُجَدَّفُ عَلَى طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَقِّ. | ٢ 2 |
Many will follow their sensual ways, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned.
| وَهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّمَعِ يَتَّجِرُونَ بِكُمْ بِأَقْوَالٍ مُصَنَّعَةٍ، ٱلَّذِينَ دَيْنُونَتُهُمْ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ لَا تَتَوَانَى، وَهَلَاكُهُمْ لَا يَنْعَسُ. | ٣ 3 |
In their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation from of old is not idle, and their destruction will not slumber.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ لَمْ يُشْفِقْ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةٍ قَدْ أَخْطَأُوا، بَلْ فِي سَلَاسِلِ ٱلظَّلَامِ طَرَحَهُمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، وَسَلَّمَهُمْ مَحْرُوسِينَ لِلْقَضَاءِ، (Tartaroō g5020) | ٤ 4 |
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus and committed them to chains of darkness to be kept for judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
| وَلَمْ يُشْفِقْ عَلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا حَفِظَ نُوحًا ثَامِنًا كَارِزًا لِلْبِرِّ، إِذْ جَلَبَ طُوفَانًا عَلَى عَالَمِ ٱلْفُجَّارِ. | ٥ 5 |
and if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, along with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
| وَإِذْ رَمَّدَ مَدِينَتَيْ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، حَكَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا بِٱلِٱنْقِلَابِ، وَاضِعًا عِبْرَةً لِلْعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ يَفْجُرُوا، | ٦ 6 |
and if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes and made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way;
| وَأَنْقَذَ لُوطًا ٱلْبَارَّ، مَغْلُوبًا مِنْ سِيرَةِ ٱلْأَرْدِيَاءِ فِي ٱلدَّعَارَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
and if he rescued righteous Lot, who was distressed by the sensual conduct of the lawless
| إِذْ كَانَ ٱلْبَارُّ، بِٱلنَّظَرِ وَٱلسَّمْعِ وَهُوَ سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَهُمْ، يُعَذِّبُ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا نَفْسَهُ ٱلْبَارَّةَ بِٱلْأَفْعَالِ ٱلْأَثِيمَةِ. | ٨ 8 |
(for as that righteous man dwelt among them, his righteous soul was tormented day after day over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);
| يَعْلَمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يُنْقِذَ ٱلْأَتْقِيَاءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةِ، وَيَحْفَظَ ٱلْأَثَمَةَ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ مُعَاقَبِينَ، | ٩ 9 |
then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
| وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْهَبُونَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْجَسَدِ فِي شَهْوَةِ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ، وَيَسْتَهِينُونَ بِٱلسِّيَادَةِ. جَسُورُونَ، مُعْجِبُونَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، لَا يَرْتَعِبُونَ أَنْ يَفْتَرُوا عَلَى ذَوِي ٱلْأَمْجَادِ، | ١٠ 10 |
especially those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and who despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they do not tremble when they blaspheme glorious beings,
| حَيْثُ مَلَائِكَةٌ- وَهُمْ أَعْظَمُ قُوَّةً وَقُدْرَةً - لَا يُقَدِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ حُكْمَ ٱفْتِرَاءٍ. | ١١ 11 |
whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not bring a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
| أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَكَحَيَوَانَاتٍ غَيْرِ نَاطِقَةٍ، طَبِيعِيَّةٍ، مَوْلُودَةٍ لِلصَّيْدِ وَٱلْهَلَاكِ، يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى مَا يَجْهَلُونَ، فَسَيَهْلِكُونَ فِي فَسَادِهِمْ، | ١٢ 12 |
But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like irrational beasts, creatures of instinct born for capture and destruction, and in the destruction of those beasts they will be destroyed,
| آخِذِينَ أُجْرَةَ ٱلْإِثْمِ. ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْسِبُونَ تَنَعُّمَ يَوْمٍ لَذَّةً. أَدْنَاسٌ وَعُيُوبٌ، يَتَنَعَّمُونَ فِي غُرُورِهِمْ صَانِعِينَ وَلَائِمَ مَعَكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
receiving the wages of unrighteousness. Counting indulgence in the daytime as pleasure, they are stains and blemishes, openly indulging in their deceptions as they feast with you.
| لَهُمْ عُيُونٌ مَمْلُوَّةٌ فِسْقًا، لَا تَكُفُّ عَنِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، خَادِعُونَ ٱلنُّفُوسَ غَيْرَ ٱلثَّابِتَةِ. لَهُمْ قَلْبٌ مُتَدَرِّبٌ فِي ٱلطَّمَعِ. أَوْلَادُ ٱللَّعْنَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unstable souls. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.
| قَدْ تَرَكُوا ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ، فَضَلُّوا، تَابِعِينَ طَرِيقَ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَصُورَ ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّ أُجْرَةَ ٱلْإِثْمِ. | ١٥ 15 |
They have abandoned the straight path and gone astray, following the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ حَصَلَ عَلَى تَوْبِيخِ تَعَدِّيهِ، إِذْ مَنَعَ حَمَاقَةَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ حِمَارٌ أَعْجَمُ نَاطِقًا بِصَوْتِ إِنْسَانٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
But he received a rebuke for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with a human voice and prevented the prophet's madness.
| هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ آبَارٌ بِلَا مَاءٍ، غُيُومٌ يَسُوقُهَا ٱلنَّوْءُ. ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ حُفِظَ لَهُمْ قَتَامُ ٱلظَّلَامِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. (questioned) | ١٧ 17 |
These men are springs without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the thick gloom of darkness has been reserved forever. (questioned)
| لِأَنَّهُمْ إِذْ يَنْطِقُونَ بِعَظَائِمِ ٱلْبُطْلِ، يَخْدَعُونَ بِشَهَوَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِ فِي ٱلدَّعَارَةِ، مَنْ هَرَبَ قَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ فِي ٱلضَّلَالِ، | ١٨ 18 |
For they speak bombastic words of nonsense, and with sensual desires of the flesh they entice people who have truly escaped from others who live in error.
| وَاعِدِينَ إِيَّاهُمْ بِٱلْحُرِّيَّةِ، وَهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ عَبِيدُ ٱلْفَسَادِ. لِأَنَّ مَا ٱنْغَلَبَ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ، فَهُوَ لَهُ مُسْتَعْبَدٌ أَيْضًا! | ١٩ 19 |
They promise them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption. For a man is a slave to whatever masters him.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا كَانُوا، بَعْدَمَا هَرَبُوا مِنْ نَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْمُخَلِّصِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، يَرْتَبِكُونَ أَيْضًا فِيهَا، فَيَنْغَلِبُونَ، فَقَدْ صَارَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَاخِرُ أَشَرَّ مِنَ ٱلْأَوَائِلِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
For if after they have escaped from the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these defilements and overcome, the last state is worse for them than the first.
| لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ لَوْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلْبِرِّ، مِنْ أَنَّهُمْ بَعْدَمَا عَرَفُوا، يَرْتَدُّونَ عَنِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ ٱلْمُسَلَّمَةِ لَهُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was passed on to them.
| قَدْ أَصَابَهُمْ مَا فِي ٱلْمَثَلِ ٱلصَّادِقِ: «كَلْبٌ قَدْ عَادَ إِلَى قَيْئِهِ»، وَ«خِنْزِيرَةٌ مُغْتَسِلَةٌ إِلَى مَرَاغَةِ ٱلْحَمْأَةِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
What the true proverb says has happened to them: “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing herself, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
