2 Peter 2
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
Malgre sa, te gen kèk fo pwofèt nan mitan pèp Bondye a nan tan lontan. Konsa tou, va gen kèk direktè nan mitan nou k'ap bay manti. Yo pral vin ak yon bann bèl pawòl ki pa vre pou yo seye pèdi nou. Y'ap vire do bay Mèt la ki te delivre yo. Y'ap rale yon chatiman sou tèt yo k'ap detwi yo lapoula.
2 And many shall follow their riotousnesses, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Anpil moun pral swiv yo nan sa y'ap fè ki mal yo. Konsa, y'ap lakòz moun pale chemen laverite a mal.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their perdition slumbereth not.
Nan kouri dèyè lajan, yo pral esplwate nou ak yon bann manti. Men, depi lontan moun sa yo deja jije, nanpwen chape pou yo.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment: (Tartaroō g5020)
Bondye pa t' fè pa zanj ki te fè peche yo. Li te voye yo jete nan lanfè, li lage yo nan gwo twou kote ki fènwa anpil la, l'ap kenbe yo la pou yo tann jou jijman an. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.
Bondye pa t' fè pa moun nan tan lontan yo. Men, li te delivre Noe, yon nonm ki te mache dwat devan li, ansanm ak sèt lòt moun lè li te voye gwo inondasyon an sou mechan yo.
6 And reducing the cities of the Sodomites, and of the Gomorrhites, into ashes, condemned them to be overthrown, making them an example to those that should after act wickedly.
Li te kondannen lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò pou yo te disparèt, li fè yo tounen sann, pou sa te sèvi yon egzanp pou tout mechan ki gen pou vini apre yo.
7 And delivered just Lot, oppressed by the injustice and lewd conversation of the wicked.
Men, li te delivre Lòt, yon nonm dwat ki te pran lapenn lè l' te wè move bagay mechan yo t'ap fè.
8 For in sight and hearing he was just: dwelling among them, who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works.
Paske, nonm dwat sa a ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo a, lè li te wè, lè li te tande tout bagay mal moun sa yo t'ap fè, se chak jou li santi kè l' t'ap fann, paske li t'ap viv dwat devan Bondye.
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation, but to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented.
Konsa, Bondye konnen ki jan pou l' delivre moun k'ap sèvi l' yo nan mitan eprèv. Men, li kite mechan yo pou l' ka peni yo jou jijman an,
10 And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government, audacious, self willed, they fear not to bring in sects, blaspheming.
sitou moun k'ap viv pou lachè ak tout egzijans li yo, moun k'ap meprize otorite Bondye a. Moun sa yo gen je chèch konsa, yo awogan. Yo pa menm pè pale pouvwa yo ki nan syèl la mal.
11 Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment.
Menm zanj yo ki gen plis fòs ak plis pouvwa pase moun sa yo pa pote move akizasyon kont pouvwa ki nan syèl yo devan Bondye.
12 But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption,
Mesye sa yo menm, yo tankou bèt ki san konprann, k'ap viv dapre ensten yo epi ki la sou latè pou moun kenbe touye. Yo pale mal sou bagay yo pa konnen, yo gen pou yo peri menm jan ak bèt.
13 Receiving the reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts with you:
Yo gen pou yo soufri pou tou sa yo te fè moun soufri. Yo pran plezi fè debòch gwo lajounen. Se yon wont, se yon eskandal lè moun sa yo k'ap pran plezi yo nan fè sa ki mal chita sou menm tab ak nou lè n'ap fè fèt.
14 Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls, having their heart exercised with covetousness, children of malediction:
Je yo kale sou tout fanm. Se tout tan y'ap fè peche. Yo pran tèt moun ki fèb yo nan pèlen. Nanpwen moun renmen lajan tankou yo. Se moun ki anba madichon.
15 Leaving the right way they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity,
Yo kite chemen ki dwat la, yo pèdi wout yo nèt. Yo pran swiv chemen Balaram, pitit Bozò a, ki te fè sa ki mal poutèt lajan.
16 But had a check of his madness, the dumb beast used to the yoke, which speaking with man’s voice, forbade the folly of the prophet.
Men, yo te kouri dèyè l' pou mechanste li a: yon bourik ki pa menm gen lapawòl te pale avè l' tankou yon moun. Se sa ki te fè pwofèt la sispann aji tankou moun fou.
17 These are fountains without water, and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved.
Moun sa yo tankou sous dlo ki cheche, tankou nway gwo van ap pote ale. Kote ki fènwa anpil la ap pare tann yo tou.
18 For, speaking proud words of vanity, they allure by the desires of fleshly riotousness, those who for a little while escape, such as converse in error:
Y'ap pale ak awogans pawòl ki pa gen sans. Avèk lavi lib y'ap mennen pou satisfè lachè a, y'ap pran tèt moun ki fèk ap chape nan mitan moun k'ap viv nan manti yo.
19 Promising them liberty, whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom a man is overcome, of the same also he is the slave.
Yo pwomèt y'ap ba yo libète. Men, yo menm se esklav movèz vi a yo ye. Paske, yon moun esklav tout bagay ki donminen sou li.
20 For if, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former.
Moun ki rive konnen Jezikri tankou Seyè ak Sovè li, li fin chape anba tout vye bagay mal ki nan lemonn. Si apre sa, li tounen mele ladan yo ankò, si l' kite bagay sa yo pran pye sou li ankò, l'ap pi mal pou li pase jan l' te ye anvan an.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them.
Sa ta pi bon pou li si l' pa t' janm konnen chemen dwat la, pase pou, lè li fin konnen l' lan, li vire do bay kòmandman li te resevwa nan men Bondye a.
22 For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit: and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
Sa ki rive yo a moutre sa pwovèb la di a se vre: Chen an tounen vin manje sa li te vonmi an. Lave manman kochon, li al woule nan labou ankò.
