2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it.
HE poe kaula wahahee kekahi mamua iwaena o na kanaka, pela no e hiki mai auanei kekahi poe kumu wahahee iwaena o oukou, ua lakou no e hoike malu mai i na manao ku e, e make ai, e hoole ana i ka Haku nana lakou i kuai mai, a e hooili ana i ka make koke maluna o lakou iho.
2 And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name.
E nui loa no hoi ka poe hahai mamuli o ko lakou aoao hewa; a no lakou o olelo hoinoia'i ka aoao oiaio.
3 And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.
A no ka puniwaiwai, e kuai no lakou ia oukou, me ka olelo wahahee; aole hoi e hookaulua loa ko lakou hoohewaia, aole e hiamoe ko lakou make.
4 For if God did not have pity for the angels who did evil, but sent them down into hell, to be kept in chains of eternal night till they were judged; (Tartaroō g5020)
No ka mea, ina aole i aloha mai ke Akua i na anela i hewa, aka, kiola no ia lakou ilalo i ka po, me ka paa i na kaula o ka pouli, i malamaia'i no ka hoahewaia; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 And did not have mercy on the world which then was, but only kept safe Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he let loose the waters over the world of the evil-doers;
Aole hoi i aloha mai i kela ao kahiko, o Noa wale no kana i hoola ae, o ka walu no ia, he mea hoike ma ka pono, a hoouhi mai i ke kaiakahinalii maluna o kela ao o ka poe aia;
6 And sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, burning them up with fire as an example to those whose way of life might in the future be unpleasing to him;
A puhi aku no hoi i na kulanakauhale o Sodoma a me Gomora a lehu, me ka hoohewa e make mainoino, e hoolilo ana ia lakou i hoailona e ao ai i ka poe aia ma ia hope;
7 And kept safe Lot, the upright man, who was deeply troubled by the unclean life of the evil-doers
Ua hoopakele no hoi ia Lota i ke kanaka pono, i uluhua i ka poe aia e noho makaleho ana;
8 (Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):
(No ka mea, o ua kanaka pono la, i kona noho pu ana me lakou, hoehaeha oia i kona naau pono i kela la i keia la, i ka ike ana, a i ka lohe ana i ka lakou hana hewa ana; )
9 The Lord is able to keep the upright safe in the time of testing, and to keep evil-doers under punishment till the day of judging;
Ua ike no ka Haku e hoopakele ae i ka poe haipule mai ka hoowalewaleia ae, a e hoana e hoi i ka poe hewa, no ka la hookolokolo i hoopaiia mai lakou.
10 But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places:
O lakou mua, o ka poe hahai mamuli o ke kino, ma ke kuko i na mea haumia. me ka hoowahawaha i na'lii. He poe haanou wale lakou, a hoopaa, aole makau i ka olelo ino i na'lii.
11 Though the angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not make use of violent language against them before the Lord.
Aka, o na anela, o ka poe oi aku ka ikaika, a me ka mana, aole lakou i hoike ae imua o ka Haku i ka manao hoohewa ia lakou.
12 But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;
Aka, o keia poe, e Mike me na holoholona maoli, i hanaia i mea e hopuia'i e pepehiia, pela lakou e olelo iho nei i na mea a lakou i hoomaopopo ole ai; a e make hoi lakou iloko o ko lakou hewa iho:
13 For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;
E ukuia hoi lakou i ka uku o ka hewa; no ka mea, ua manao lakou he mea lealea ke hoohaunaele i ke ao; he palahea lakou, a he kikohukohu, ua olioli lakou i ko lakou wahahee ana, i ka lakou ahaaina pu ana me oukou.
14 Having eyes full of evil desire, never having enough of sin; turning feeble souls out of the true way; they are children of cursing, whose hearts are well used to bitter envy;
Ua niua na maka i na wahine moe kolohe, aole hiki ke hooki i ka hewa, e kumakaia ana i na uhane ku kapekepeke; ua maa loa ko lakou naau i ka puni waiwai; he poe keiki i ahewaia.
15 Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;
Ua haalele lakou i ko ala o ka pono ua hele hewa me ka hahai aku ma ka aoao o Balaama a Bosora, ka mea i makemake i ka uku o ka hewa;
16 But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.
Aka, ua aoia mai oia no kona hewa; na ka hoki leo ole i olelo mai me ka leo kanaka, a papa mai la i ka pupule o ua kaula la.
17 These are fountains without water, and mists before a driving storm; for whom the eternal night is kept in store. (questioned)
He poe punawai wai ole lakou, he poe ao lakou i lele ino i ka makani; no lakou i malamaia'i ka poeleele o ka pouli mau loa. (questioned)
18 For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;
No ka mea, i ko lakou haanui ana ma ka mea lapuwale, ke hoowalewale nei lakou iloko o ke kuko o ke kino a me ka makaleho wale, i na mea i haalele aku i ka poe e noho ana ma ka hewa.
19 Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.
Hai mai la lakou, he luhi ole ia no lakou la, aka, e luhi ana lakou iho malalo o ka hewa; no ka mea, ma ka mea i pio ai kekahi, ua hooluhiia oia malaila.
20 For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.
No ka mea, ina lakou i haalele i ka paumaele o ke ao nei, no ka ike ana i ka Haku a me ka Hoola, o Iesu Kristo, a mahope iho, hihia hou, a lilo ilaila, ua oi aku ka ino o ko lakou hope, i ko ka mua.
21 For it would have been better for them to have had no knowledge of the way of righteousness, than to go back again from the holy law which was given to them, after having knowledge of it.
Ina ua ike ole lakou i ka aoao o ka pono, e aho no ia, mamua o ko lakou ike ana, a mahope iho haalele i ka olelo hemolele i haawiia mai na lakou.
22 They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth.
Aka, ua hookoia ia lakou ka olelo oiaio, Ua hoi hou ka ilio i kona luai iho, a me ka puaa hoi i holoiia, i kona haluku ana iloko o ke kiolepo.
