2 Peter 2
1 Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Naye waaliwo ne bannabbi ab’obulimba mu bantu, era nga bwe walibaawo abayigiriza ab’obulimba mu mmwe. Baliyingiza mu nkiso enjigiriza enkyamu etwala abantu mu kuzikirira. Balyegaana ne Mukama waffe, ne beereetako okuzikirira okw’amangu.
2 Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.
Abantu bangi baligoberera empisa zaabwe ez’obukaba ne bavumaganyisa ekkubo ery’amazima;
3 In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.
balibafunamu amagoba mangi nga bakozesa ebigambo eby’obulimba olw’omululu gwabwe. Abo Katonda yabasalira dda omusango era n’okuzikirizibwa kwabwe tekubuusibwabuusibwa.
4 For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
Katonda teyasaasira bamalayika abaayonoona, wabula yabasuula mu lukonko oluwanvu olujjudde ekizikiza, gye bali, nga basibiddwa mu njegere nga balindirira olunaku olw’okusalirwako omusango. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight;
N’ensi ey’edda teyagisaasira, n’aleeta amataba ku nsi okuzikiriza abo abataamutya, n’alokolako Nuuwa eyabuulira obutuukirivu wamu n’abalala musanvu.
6 if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly;
Era yasalira omusango abaali mu bibuga by’e Sodomu n’e Ggomola bwe yabazikiriza, ne bisirikka mu muliro, bw’atyo n’alaga ebyo ebigenda okutuuka ku buli atatya Katonda.
7 and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
Kyokka n’awonya Lutti, omutuukirivu, eyalumwanga ennyo olw’obulamu obw’abantu abo abajeemu.
8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—
Olw’okubanga yababeerangamu, buli lunaku, yalabanga era n’awuliranga ebikolwa eby’obujeemu bye baakolanga, ekyo ne kimuleetera okunyolwa mu mwoyo gwe omutuukirivu.
9 if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
Mukama amanyi okuwonya n’okuggya mu kugezesebwa abamutya, n’abonereza abatali bakkiriza okutuusa ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango,
10 Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.
n’okusingira ddala abo abagoberera okwegomba kwabwe okw’omubiri ne banyooma abakulembeze baabwe. Tebaliiko kye batya, beerowoozaako bokka, era tebakwatibwa na nsonyi kuvuma baakitiibwa.
11 Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
Kyokka bo bamalayika newaakubadde be basinga abayigiriza abo amaanyi n’obuyinza, bwe batwala ensonga ezo eri Mukama waffe tebakozesa lulimi luvuma.
12 These men are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be captured and destroyed. They blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed.
Abantu bali bavuma ne bye batategeera, bali ng’ensolo obusolo ezitaliimu magezi ezikwatibwa okuttibwa ne zizikirizibwa; era nabo okufaanana ng’ensolo ezo, bagenda kuzikirizibwa.
13 The harm they will suffer is the wages of their wickedness. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deception as they feast with you.
Abantu abo bagenda kubonerezebwa olw’ebibi bye bakola. Kubanga buli lunaku bagoberera okwegomba kwabwe olw’okwesanyusa, era abantu abo bakwasa mmwe ensonyi era babaswaza bwe beegatta nammwe mu mbaga zammwe, nga bakola effujjo mu masanyu gaabwe.
14 Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.
Balina amaaso agajjude obukaba, tebalekaayo kukola kibi buli kiseera boonoona era basendasenda abatali banywevu, bajjudde omululu. Baana abaakolimirwa,
15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
abaakyama ne bava mu kkubo okufaanana nga Balamu mutabani wa Beyoli, eyayagala empeera ey’obutali butuukirivu.
16 But he was rebuked for his transgression by a donkey, otherwise without speech, that spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
Kyokka endogoyi etayogera, Katonda bwe yagyogeza n’emumanya olw’obujeemu bwe n’eziyiza eddalu lya nnabbi oyo.
17 These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
Abantu abo nzizi ezitaliimu mazzi. Bali ng’ebire ebitwalibwa embuyaga, era baterekeddwa ekifo eky’ekizikiza ekikutte be zigizigi.
18 With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
Boogera ebigambo eby’okwekuluntaza era ebitaliimu nsa. Mu kwegomba kw’omubiri ne mu bukaba bwabwe basendasenda abo abali okumpi n’okubadduka abakyatambulira mu kibi.
19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
Babasuubiza eddembe, so nga bo bennyini baddu ba bikolwa ebibi eby’okuzikirira. Kubanga omuntu afuuka muddu w’ekyo ekimufuga.
20 If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.
Era abantu bwe bategeera Mukama waffe era Omulokozi waffe Yesu Kristo, ne badduka okuva mu bintu ebyo eby’ensi ebyonoona era ebitwala abantu mu kuzikirira, ate ne bava awo ne babiddamu, bibasibira ddala era obulamu bwabwe bufuuka bubi nnyo okusinga bwe bwali okusooka.
21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.
Ekyandisinze be bantu abo obutategeerera ddala kkubo lya Mukama waffe ery’obutuukirivu, eriggya abantu mu kuzikirira, okusinga lwe bamala okulitegeera, ate ne bava ku biragiro ebitukuvu bye baaweebwa.
22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”
Olugero olwagerebwa kyeluva lutuukirira ku bo olugamba nti, “Embwa eridde ebisesemye byayo,” na luno nti: “Embizzi eva okunaazibwa ezzeeyo okwekulukuunya mu bitosi.”
