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.
Asi kwaiva nevaporofita venhemawo pakati pevanhu, sezvakuchavapowo vadzidzisi venhema pakati penyu, vachapinza pachivande kutsauka kunoparadza, vachiramba kunyange Ishe wakavatenga, vachizviwisira kuparara kunokurumidza.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
Vazhinjiwo vachatevera kuparadzwa kwavo; nekuda kwavo nzira yechokwadi ichanyombwa.
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.
Uye pakuchiva namashoko akaumbwa vachawana mubairo nemwi; kutongwa kwavo kwakare hakunonoki, nekuparadzwa kwavo hakutsumwairi.
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;
Nokuti kana Mwari asina kurega vatumwa vakatadza, asi wakavakandira mugehena achivakumikidza kumaketeni erima kuti vachengeterwe mutongo; (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,
uye haana kurega nyika yekare, asi wakachengetedza Nowa muparidzi wekururama nevamwe vanomwe, paakauisa mafashame panyika yevasingadi Mwari;
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,
nekuroromesa maguta eSodhoma neGomora, akaatongera kuparadzwa, akaaita chive chiratidzo kune vachazogara vasingadi Mwari;
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
akanunurawo Roti wakarurama, wakazvidya moyo pakuzvibata mukunyangadza kwevakaipa;
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
(nekuti uyo wakarurama, agere pakati pavo, pakuona nekunzwa, wakarwadzisa kwazvo mweya wake wakarurama zuva rimwe nerimwe nemabasa asina murairo).
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,
Ishe anoziva kununura vanonamata Mwari kubva pamiedzo, nekuchengeta vasakarurama kusvika pazuva rekutongwa vachirangwa;
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,
asi zvikuru ivo vanofamba nemutoo wenyama paruchiva rwetsvina, nekuzvidza utongi. Vasina hanya, vane nharo, vasingatyi kutuka vanokudzwa;
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
izvo vatumwa, vanopfuura pakugona nesimba, havauyisi pavari mutongo wekunyomba pamberi paIshe.
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,
Asi ava, vakaita semhuka pachisikirwo dzisina fungwa dzakaberekerwa kubatwa nekuparadzwa, vanotuka zvavasingazivi, vachaparadzwa pakuora kwavo,
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;
vachagamuchira mubairo wekusarurama, vanoti mafaro kuita umbozha masikati, ivo makwapa nechinyadzo, vanofara mukunyengera kwavo kana vari pamabiko nemwi,
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who cannot cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
vane meso azere neupombwe, nevasingaregi chivi, vanonyengera mweya isina simba, vane moyo wakarovedzwa kuchiva; vana vechakatukwa;
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
vasiya nzira yakarurama vakatsauka, vatevera nzira yaBharami waBhosori, wakada mubairo wekusarurama,
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.
asi wakava nekutsiurwa kwekudarika kwake, mbongoro chimumumu ichitaura muinzwi remunhu, chikadzivisa upengo hwemuporofita.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
Iva zvitubu zvisina mvura, makore anosundwa nedutu remhepo; ivo vakachengeterwa mhute yerima kusvikira kusingaperi. (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;
Nokuti vachitaura zvekuzvikudza kusina maturo, vanokwezva neruchiva rwenyama neunzenza avo vakapukunyuka zvirokwazvo kune vanofamba mukutsauka;
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
vachivavimbisa rusununguko, ivo pachavo varanda vekuora; nokuti uyo umwe waakundwa naye, ndiyewo waanoitwa muranda kwaari.
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.
Nokuti kana vapukunyuka patsvina yenyika kubudikidza neruzivo rwaIshe neMuponesi Jesu Kristu, vanopfekanidzwazve mazviri vachikundwa, zvinhu zvekuguma zvigova kwavari zvakaipa kupfuura zvekutanga.
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.
Nokuti zvaiva nani kwavari kuti dai vaiva vasina kuziva nzira yekururama, pakuti vaziva vadzoke kubva pamurairo mutsvene wakakumikidzwa kwavari.
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.”
Asi zvakaitika kwavari zvedimikira rechokwadi zvinoti: Imbwa yakadzokera kumarutsi ayo pachayo; nehadzi yenguruve yakange yashamba kukuvumburuka mumatope.
