< 2 Peter 2 >

1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
Fe nitraoke am’ondatio o mpitoky sare’eo, manahake te ho ama’ areo ao o mpañoke sare’e hanjilike fañòhañe maharotsake añ’ etakeo, ho liere’ iareo i Talè nivily iareoy, toly ndra hivovoan-karo­tsahañe masìka.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
Le maro ty haño­rike o drao-tsivoka’ iareoo, le ho sirikae­ñe ty am’ iereo i lalan-katòy,
3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old does not linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
naho amy hatitia’ iareo, ho haramamoe’ iereo an-drehake manigike, fe tsy mihenekeneke i namàrañe iareo haehaey, vaho tsy miroro ty fandrotsahañe iareo.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus (Tartaroō g5020), and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment;
Fa kanao tsy nengan’ Añahare o anjely nandilatseo, le nafetsa’e an-tsikeokeok’ ao, vaho nasese’e an-tsilisily mb’ an-kamoromoroñañe ao handiñe zaka; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
tsy nihevea’e i voatse taoloy fe rinomba’e t’i Noe, ie valo, mpitaron-kavan­tañañe, le noempoempoe’e i tane-bey tsy aman-Kàkey;
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
toe nafà’e ho rotsake ka i rova Sodo­ma naho Gomora rey ie finorototo’e ho lavenoke, ho fañòhañe o ho veloñe tsy aman-Kake mandimbe iareoo;
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
le rinomba’e t’i Lota vañoñe, ze nembere’ ty halò-tseren-kavelo’ o tsivokatseo
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
ie nahaisake naho nahajanjiñe o sata’ iareo tsivokatseo handro an-kandro nahalovilovy ty arofo-vaño’ indaty vantañe nimoneñe am’iereoy.
9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
Arofoana’ i Talè ty handrombake o vantañeo amo fitsohañeo vaho hañajà o tsivokatseo ho an-jaka, ho lilovañe,
10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
mentsake o mampilomolotse i nofotsey ami’ty drao’e tiva malain-ko fehèñeo, ie mijaranjaràñe, manao tsi-nahi’e, vaho tsy mititititike te mañoratse o aman’ engèñeo;
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
fe ndra o anjelio, ie milikoatse an-kaozarañe naho hafatrarañe, tsy manisý iareo an-jaka añatrefa’ i Talè.
12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
F’ iretia, le hoe biby tsy mahatsakore, naterake ho tsepaheñe naho lentàñe, miteratera o amoea’ iareoo, ho mongoreñe ami’ty fandrotsahañ’ iareo,
13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
ho valèm-boiñe mañeva ty hatsivokara’e. Tea’ iareo ty miagarègañe antoandro. Hàndra naho pepo, mitsotsefotse ami’ty famañahia’ iareo te mitrao-pikama ama’areo.
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who cannot cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
Ama-maso pea hakarapiloañe, le lia’e tsy etsa-pandilarañe; mpampandifike o maletroletroo, an-troke naòke am-patitia-mena, anake nafàtse!
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
Nado’ iereo i lalañe mahitiy, nitsile mb’an-dala’ i Balama ana’ i Beora mpitea ty tamben-katsivokarañe
16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
F’ie nendahañe ty amy fandilara’ey, naho nivolañe am-peo’ ondaty i borìke moañey hanebañe ty hadagòla’ i mpitokiy.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
Lohan-drano maike iereo, mika aronjen-tio-bey, nañajàñe añ’ieñe mimoromoroñe tsy modo. (questioned)
18 For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
Ie mivolan-kòak’ an-tsenge, misarike iareo an-drao-rati’ o nofotseo naho am-pañiriañe lo, o didý tsy nahabotitsike amo mañavelo an-tahiñeoo,
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
mampitamà fierañerañañe, te mone ondevon-katsivokarañe, amy te ondevoze’ ty mamahotse aze t’indaty
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
Aa ie nihaha amo haloloa’ ty voatse toio ami’ty faharendrehañe i Talè Iesoà naho Mpandrombake Norizañey, naho mbe mifehefehe amy rezay indraike vaho mivahotse ao, le lombolombo’ i tam-balòha’ey ty haloloañe henane zay.
21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
Ho nisoa t’ie tsy naharendreke i lalan-kavañonañey, ta te nanjo vaho niamboho i lily masiñe natolotsey.
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
Toe ho a iareo ty oha-drehake manao ty hoe. Mimpoly ami’ty loa’e ty amboa naho mb’am-pilomolorañe am-potak’ ao i renen-dambo sinasay.
