2 Petro 2
1 To jonabi mag miriambo bende ne nitie e kind oganda Nyasaye e ndalo machon, mana kaka jopuonj mag miriambo bende biro bedo e dieru. Gibiro kelonu puonj mag miriambo lingʼ-lingʼ mondo giketh ji, ka gikwedo nyaka Ruoth Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto mane owarogi kendo mano nomi gitiekre kendgi piyo piyo nono!
Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
2 Ji mathoth noluw kit ngimagi mag anjawo makelo wichkuot, kendo ginimi ji nocha yo mar adiera.
And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
3 Nikech bedo gi gombo mar yudo gik malangʼ, jopuonj mag miriambogo noywau gi sigendini magiseloso mag miriambo malombo ji; mondo gimau mwandu. To kum margi mane oiknegi chakre chon ritogi, kendo kethruokgi ok nodeki ma ok ochoponegi.
Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
4 To ka Nyasaye ne ok oweyo ma ok okumo kata mana malaike mane oketho, to ne owitogi e gehena ma en mach ma ok tho, koketogi e mudho mandiwa ka girito kumgi; (Tartaroō g5020)
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 to kane ok oweyo ma ok okumo koda ka piny machon, e kinde mane omiyo pi oyweyo joma ochayo Nyasaye, to Nowa mane yalo mondo ji otim timbe makare kaachiel gi ji abiriyo mamoko, to ne oreso;
He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
6 to ka Nyasaye nongʼado bura ni Sodom gi Gomora mine owangʼo joma odakie miergo molokore buru, kendo mi oketogi ranyisi mar gima biro timore ne joma ochayo Nyasaye;
He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
7 kendo ka Nyasaye noreso Lut ngʼat makare, mane chunye chandore malit nikech ngima mochido mar joma ne ochayo chik
But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
8 (nikech ne en ngʼat makare, chunye ne chande malit kane oneno timbe maricho ma tiengʼ mane odakgo timo pile ka pile);
That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
9 to ka en kamano, to kare Ruoth ongʼeyo kaka dores joma omiye luor kuom tembe ma giyudo kendo ongʼeyo kaka okano joma richo ni kum chiengʼ Bura, ka gidhi nyime kod kumgi.
And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
10 Mani en adiera kuom jogo machopo dwaro mochido mag ringregi ka gichayo loch. Jopuonj mag miriambogi wengegi tek kendo opongʼ gi achaya, bende ok giluoro kata mana wuoyo marach kuom joma nigi joloch mag polo,
[He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
11 ma kata mana malaike man-gi teko gi duongʼ moloyogi ok nyal wuoyo marach kuom chwechgo e nyim Ruoth Nyasaye.
In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
12 To jogi wuoyo marach ka giyanyo nyaka gik ma ok giwinj tiendgi. Gichalo le maonge rieko, mager, maonge paro, mane ochwe mana mondo omaki oyangʼ. Jogi biro lal nono mana ka le mag bungu.
Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
13 Giniyud pok mar richo, kar richo magisetimo. Giwinjo maber ka gichopo gombo duto mag ringregi ratiro e nyim ji. Ka gidwanyore kendo gichopo gombogi maricho e chokruogeu mag sawo to gichalo mbelni kod gik motop.
God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
14 Wengegi rango mon mana gigombo mar terruok kendo richo mitnegi ma ok giwe. Giywayo mon ma yiegi yomyom mondo gitimgo richo kendo gipongʼ gi wuoro. Jogi gin joma okwongʼ adier!
They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
15 Gisebaro giweyo yo makare mi girwenyo ka giluwo yor Balaam wuod Beor, mane ohero misach richo.
They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
16 To kanyna ne okwere kuom timne marachno, kata obedo ni en le ma ok wuo kamano, to ne owuoyo gi dwond dhano mi ogengʼo neko janabino.
But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
17 Jogi gin sokni maonge pi kendo gichalo gi ongʼwengʼo ma yamo tero. Gima okan nigi mudho mandiwa molil ti. (questioned)
These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
18 Nikech giwacho weche manono mag sunga mopongʼ gi gombo maricho mag kit dhano mohero richo, mondo gimi joma tinde eka tony aa kuom joma olal tim richo.
By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
19 Gisingore ni jogo ni gibiro miyogi thuolo to gin giwegi gin wasumbini mag richo makelo kethruok nikech dhano en misumba gimoro amora moloyo ngimane.
[The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
20 Ka ji osetony oweyo kethruok mar piny, nikech ngʼeyo Ruodhwa kendo Jawarwa Yesu Kristo, eka bangʼe gichako giduodore e kethruok mi kethruok omakogi kendo, to ngimagi machien bedo marach moloyo ngimagi mokwongo.
Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
21 Dine obedo nigi maber moloyo ka dine ok gingʼeyo yor ngima makare, moloyo ngʼeyogo eka bangʼe gidok chien giweyo chik mane omigi.
[Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
22 Gima osetimorenigi chopo adiera mar ngero mawacho niya, “Guok dok e ngʼokne mosengʼogo” kendo niya, “Anguro moseluoki odok ngʼielore e chwodho.”
[The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
