< 2 Peter 2 >
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
aparaṁ pūrvvakāle yathā lokānāṁ madhye mithyābhaviṣyadvādina upātiṣṭhan tathā yuṣmākaṁ madhye'pi mithyāśikṣakā upasthāsyanti, te sveṣāṁ kretāraṁ prabhum anaṅgīkṛtya satvaraṁ vināśaṁ sveṣu varttayanti vināśakavaidharmmyaṁ guptaṁ yuṣmanmadhyam āneṣyanti|
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
tato 'nekeṣu teṣāṁ vināśakamārgaṁ gateṣu tebhyaḥ satyamārgasya nindā sambhaviṣyati|
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
aparañca te lobhāt kāpaṭyavākyai ryuṣmatto lābhaṁ kariṣyante kintu teṣāṁ purātanadaṇḍājñā na vilambate teṣāṁ vināśaśca na nidrāti|
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (Tartaroō )
īśvaraḥ kṛtapāpān dūtān na kṣamitvā timiraśṛṅkhalaiḥ pātāle ruddhvā vicārārthaṁ samarpitavān| (Tartaroō )
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
purātanaṁ saṁsāramapi na kṣamitvā taṁ duṣṭānāṁ saṁsāraṁ jalāplāvanena majjayitvā saptajanaiḥ sahitaṁ dharmmapracārakaṁ nohaṁ rakṣitavān|
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
sidomam amorā cetināmake nagare bhaviṣyatāṁ duṣṭānāṁ dṛṣṭāntaṁ vidhāya bhasmīkṛtya vināśena daṇḍitavān;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
kintu taiḥ kutsitavyabhicāribhi rduṣṭātmabhiḥ kliṣṭaṁ dhārmmikaṁ loṭaṁ rakṣitavān|
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds; )
sa dhārmmiko janasteṣāṁ madhye nivasan svīyadṛṣṭiśrotragocarebhyasteṣām adharmmācārebhyaḥ svakīyadhārmmikamanasi dine dine taptavān|
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
prabhu rbhaktān parīkṣād uddharttuṁ vicāradinañca yāvad daṇḍyāmānān adhārmmikān roddhuṁ pārayati,
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
viśeṣato ye 'medhyābhilāṣāt śārīrikasukham anugacchanti kartṛtvapadāni cāvajānanti tāneva (roddhuṁ pārayati|) te duḥsāhasinaḥ pragalbhāśca|
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
aparaṁ balagauravābhyāṁ śreṣṭhā divyadūtāḥ prabhoḥ sannidhau yeṣāṁ vaiparītyena nindāsūcakaṁ vicāraṁ na kurvvanti teṣām uccapadasthānāṁ nindanād ime na bhītāḥ|
12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
kintu ye buddhihīnāḥ prakṛtā jantavo dharttavyatāyai vināśyatāyai ca jāyante tatsadṛśā ime yanna budhyante tat nindantaḥ svakīyavināśyatayā vinaṁkṣyanti svīyādharmmasya phalaṁ prāpsyanti ca|
13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
te divā prakṛṣṭabhojanaṁ sukhaṁ manyante nijachalaiḥ sukhabhoginaḥ santo yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhojanaṁ kurvvantaḥ kalaṅkino doṣiṇaśca bhavanti|
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
teṣāṁ locanāni paradārākāṅkṣīṇi pāpe cāśrāntāni te cañcalāni manāṁsi mohayanti lobhe tatparamanasaḥ santi ca|
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
te śāpagrastā vaṁśāḥ saralamārgaṁ vihāya biyoraputrasya biliyamasya vipathena vrajanto bhrāntā abhavan| sa biliyamo 'pyadharmmāt prāpye pāritoṣike'prīyata,
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
kintu nijāparādhād bhartsanām alabhata yato vacanaśaktihīnaṁ vāhanaṁ mānuṣikagiram uccāryya bhaviṣyadvādina unmattatām abādhata|
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. ()
ime nirjalāni prasravaṇāni pracaṇḍavāyunā cālitā meghāśca teṣāṁ kṛte nityasthāyī ghoratarāndhakāraḥ sañcito 'sti| ()
18 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
ye ca janā bhrāntyācārigaṇāt kṛcchreṇoddhṛtāstān ime 'parimitadarpakathā bhāṣamāṇāḥ śārīrikasukhābhilāṣaiḥ kāmakrīḍābhiśca mohayanti|
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
tebhyaḥ svādhīnatāṁ pratijñāya svayaṁ vināśyatāyā dāsā bhavanti, yataḥ, yo yenaiva parājigye sa jātastasya kiṅkaraḥ|
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
trātuḥ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya jñānena saṁsārasya malebhya uddhṛtā ye punasteṣu nimajjya parājīyante teṣāṁ prathamadaśātaḥ śeṣadaśā kutsitā bhavati|
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
teṣāṁ pakṣe dharmmapathasya jñānāprāpti rvaraṁ na ca nirddiṣṭāt pavitravidhimārgāt jñānaprāptānāṁ parāvarttanaṁ|
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
kintu yeyaṁ satyā dṛṣṭāntakathā saiva teṣu phalitavatī, yathā, kukkuraḥ svīyavāntāya vyāvarttate punaḥ punaḥ| luṭhituṁ karddame tadvat kṣālitaścaiva śūkaraḥ||
