2 Peter 2
1 Tedae pilnam khuiah laithae tonghma rhoek khaw om uh. Te vanbangla nangmih khuiah khaw laithae saya om ni. Anih tah pocinah buhlaelh neh ha hawn ni. Amih aka lai boeikung pataeng te a hnoel uh tih pocinah te amamih soahpawk a cuhu sak uh.
But there arose false prophets also among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will stealthily bring in destructive factions, even denying the Lord that bought them; bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Te phoeiah amih kah omthenbawnnah te muep a vai uh ni. Amih kongah oltak longpuei te a soehsal uh ni.
And many will follow their dissolute ways, by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of;
3 Halhkanah neh olka a pueh uh vetih nangmih khaw n'yoih uh ni. Amih ham a rhuem kah laitloeknah loh uelh pawt vetih amih kah pocinah te ngam mahpawh.
and in covetousness will they with feigned words make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment long ago ordained lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
4 Pathen loh puencawn rhoek a tholh uh atah hlun pawh. Te dongah hell tlak nah thirhui neh a hmuepnah la a voeih tih laitloeknah ham a khoh. (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them over to chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Diklai rhuem te khaw a hlun moenih. Tedae baltalh kah Diklai te tuilii loh a khuk vaengah duengnah olhoe Noah neh parhet ni a. paih.
and spared not the old world, but saved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 Sodom neh Gomorrah kho te pocinah neh a boe sak, a unghloi te baltalh la aka om rhoek ham moeiboe la a khueh coeng.
and turning into ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, condemned them to overthrow, making them an example for those who in after time should live ungodly;
7 Te vaengah omthenbawnnah omih dongah aka cungpoeh halang rhoek lamloh a vueinan hlang dueng Lot te a hlawt.
and delivered righteous Lot, distressed by the lewd conduct of the lawless men;
8 Hlang dueng loh amih taengah hmuhnah hnavue neh kho a sak. Tedae hlang dueng kah a hinglu te lailak rhoek kah khoboe loh a hnin, a hnin a ngawn pah.
(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing tormented his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds; )
9 Aka cuep te noemcainah lamkah a hlawt ham neh halang rhoek te a khoh vetih laitloeknah khohnin ah a cawh ham khaw Boeipa loh a ming.
the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous under punishment to the day of judgment;
10 Olpuei la a tihnai kah hoehhamnah dongah pumsa hnukah pongpa uh tih taemrhainah te ana hnaep uh. Sayalh la aka cungpoeh rhoek loh thangpomnah te soehsal ham birhih uh pawh.
but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise dominion. Presumptuous, self-willed, they are not afraid to rail at dignities;
11 Puencawn rhoek loh thadueng neh thaomnah muep om mai tih boeipa hmaiah amih ham aka soehsal la laitloeknah a khuen moenih.
whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not against them a railing accusation;
12 Tedae, tuuknah neh a hmawnnah la aka om rhamsa bangla amih te a poekngaih ah khohmang rhaita la thaang uh coeng. A soehsal uh nawn te khaw a mangvawt uh dongah te rhoek kah hmawnnah khuiah poeih uh van bitni.
but these, as brute beasts, by nature born to be taken and destroyed, railing at things which they understand not, shall even perish in their own corruption,
13 Boethae kah thapang la patang uh. Pumdomnah khohnin vaengkah te omthenbawnnah la a poek uh. A tihnai neh cawtkoi la aka malawk rhoek tah amih kah hmilhmaknah khuiah na cahnoo uh.
receiving the wages of unrighteousness. Counting it pleasure to riot in the day-time, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits while they feast with you,
14 Samphaih ham mik duih a huel uh tih tholhnah khaw nawtnawt om. Yutho hinglu rhoek te a yoek uh. Thinko te halhkanah la a hlinsai tih ca rhoek tah rhunkhuennah la poeh.
having eyes full of an adulteress, and that cannot cease from sin, alluring unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, children of a curse,
15 Long dueng te a hnoo uh tih rhaithi uh thae. Bosor Balaam kah longpuei te a vai uh.
they have forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,
16 Anih long te boethae kah thapang a lungnah dongah a toel dae a khingkhaknah la a khueh. Laak olmueh loh hlang ol la cal tih tonghma kah angsainah te a paa sak.
but was rebuked for his iniquity; the dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, restrained the madness of the prophet.
17 Te rhoek tah tuihang tuisih neh hlipuei loh a yawn khomai ni. Amih ham yinnah khuikah a hmuepnah te a khoem pah coeng. (questioned)
These are wells without water, and mists driven by a tempest; for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.
18 A honghi te a puehkan la aka thui loh tholhhiknah khuiah khosak lamkah aka loeih paek rhoek te pumsa kah hoehhamnah, omthenbawn neh a yoek uh.
For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they allure in the lusts of the flesh, by dissolute ways, such as were in some measure escaping from those who live in error;
19 Amih ham poenghalnah te a caeng pah dae amamih tah hmawnnah kah sal la om uh. Pakhat loh a khulae coeng te tah anih te sal a bi sak.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage.
20 Te dongah mamih kah Boeipa neh Khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah mingnah rhangneh Diklai boinah lamkah loeih coeng. Tedae te nen te koep tingtong tih a khulae atah amih ham hnukkhueng te lamhma lakah a thae ngai la om.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is worse with them than the first.
21 Duengnah longpuei te a ming uh tih amih taengah olpaek cim a paek lamkah a bal uh lakah ming mueh la a om te amih ham then ngai.
For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Amih taengah thuidoeknah a thoeng he tah thuem pai. Ui tah a lok dongla mael tih ok khaw tiknong dongah a bolnah ham tui a hluk.
It hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog returned to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
