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 were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you; who will privately introduce destructive sects, denying even the Lord who bought them, bringing on 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 lewd practices, on account of whom, they 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 through covetousness, they will make merchandise of you, by fictitious tales: to whom the punishment threatened of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers 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 God, indeed, did not spare the angels who sinned, but with chains of darkness confining them in Tartarus, delivered them over to be kept for 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 did not spare the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth, a proclaimer of righteousness, when he brought 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 having reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, punished them with an overthrow, making them an example to those who should afterward live ungodly:
7 Te vaengah omthenbawnnah omih dongah aka cungpoeh halang rhoek lamloh a vueinan hlang dueng Lot te a hlawt.
and rescued righteous Lot, exceedingly grieved by the lewd behavior of the lawless:
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, by the sight and report of their unlawful deeds, tormented his righteous soul from day to day; )
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 knows how to rescue the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous to a day of judgment to be punished;
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 especially those who go after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and who despise government: being audacious, self-willed, who fear not to revile dignitaries;
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, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
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 natural, irrational animals, made for capture and destruction, speaking evil of matters which they do not understand, shall be utterly destroyed by their own corruptions;
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 due reward of unrighteousness. These delight to spend the day in luxurious festivity: they are spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits when 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 the adulteress, incessantly sinning, alluring unstable souls; having a heart exercised with insatiable desires; an accursed progeny:
15 Long dueng te a hnoo uh tih rhaithi uh thae. Bosor Balaam kah longpuei te a vai uh.
having forsaken the right path, they have wandered, following in the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity,
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.
and was convicted of his transgression; the dumb brute, speaking with man's voice, reprimanded 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, clouds driven by a tempest; for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever:
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 falsehood, they allure by the lusts of the flesh, even by lasciviousness, those who have actually fled away from them who are living 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.
They promise them liberty, whilst they themselves are slaves of corruption: for every one is enslaved by that which overcomes him.
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.
Now, if, having fled away from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and being again entangled, they are overcome by them; their last condition is worse 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.
Therefore, it has been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, turn away 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.
But the saying of the true proverb has happened to them: "The dog is returned to his own vomit; and the washed hog, to its wallowing in the mire."
