< 2 Peter 2 >

1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
Mme go ne go na le baporofiti ba tsietso mo malatsing ao, fela jaaka go tlaa nna le baruti ba tsietso mo go lona. Mme ka botlhale jwa bone ba tlaa bolela maaka kaga Modimo, ba fularela le e leng Morena wa bone yo o ba rekileng; mme ga bone e tlaa nna bokhutlo jo bo bofefo jo bo boitshegang.
2 And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of.
Ba le bantsi ba tlaa latela thuto ya bone e e bosula ya gore boaka ga bo molato. Mme ka ntlha ya bone Keresete le ditsela tsa gagwe di tlaa sotlwa.
3 And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
Baruti ba, ka ntlha ya bohatlha jwa bone, ba tlaa lo bolelela sengwe fela gore ba tseye madi a lona. Mme Modimo o ba atlhotse bogologolo mme tshenyego ya bone e mo tseleng e a tla.
4 For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
Gonne Modimo ga o a ka wa rekegela le e leng baengele ba ba neng ba leofa, mme o ne wa ba latlhela mo moleteng, ba gokeletswe mo dikgageng tse di lefifi go fitlhelela letsatsi la katlholo. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Mme ga o a ka wa rekegela batho ba bogologolo mo morwaleleng fa e se Noa fela, motho yo o esi yo o neng a buelela Modimo le ba ntlo ya gagwe ba supa. Mo lobakeng loo, Modimo o ne wa nyeletsa lefatshe lotlhe le batho ba ba sa boifeng Modimo ka morwalela o mogolo.
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;
Kwa morago wa fetola metse ya Sodoma le Gomora dithotobolo tsa melora wa bo wa e tlosa mo ponong ya lefatshe, wa ba dira sekao sa botlhe ba ba sa boifeng Modimo gore ba lebe kwa morago mme ba boife.
7 and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked
Go ntse go ntse jalo Modimo wa falotsha Lote mo Sodoma ka ntlha ya gore e ne e le mosiami, a utlwisiwa botlhoko ke bosula jo bo maswe jo a neng a bo bona gongwe le gongwe mo tikologong ya gagwe malatsi ka go tlhatlologana.
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] lawless deeds):
9 the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;
Jalo Modimo o ka falotsha nna le wena mo dithaelong tse di re dikaganyeditseng, mme wa tswelela ka go otlhaya ba ba sa o boifeng go fitlhelela letsatsi la bofelo la katlholo le tla.
10 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, selfwilled, they tremble not to rail at dignities:
O setlhogo bogolo mo go ba ba tsamayang mo bosulengjwa bone, le mo dikakanyong tsa dithato tsa bone, le ba ba ikgogomosang ebile ba le bodipa, ba sa boife go nyatsa Bagalaledi, le fa e le go ba sisimoga,
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
le fa baengele ba ba kwa legodimong ba ba emang fa pele ga Morena, ebile ba nonofile thata go gaisa baruti ba ba tsietso, ba se ke ba bua ka lonyatso mabapi le ba ba bosula ba.
12 But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,
Mme baruti ba tsietso ba dieleele, ga ba botoka bope go na le diphologolo. Ba dira sengwe le sengwe se ba ikutlwang ba se rata; ba tsaletswe go tshwarwa fela le go bolawa, ba nyatsa nonofo e e boitshegang ya bobipo e ba itseng go le gonnye fela ka yone; mme ba tlaa nyelediwa mmogo le mewa e e maswe yotlhe le dinonofo tsa molete.
13 suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; [men] that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their love-feasts while they feast with you;
Eo ke yone tuelo e baruti ba ba tlaa e bonang ka ntlha ya dibe tsa bone. Gonne ba nna mo botlhapelweng jo bo maswe ja letsatsi le letsatsi. Ba tlhabisa ditlhong ebile ba leswe mo go lona, ba lo tsietsa ka go tshela mo sebeng ka ntlha e nngwe ba tlhakana le lona mo medirong jaaka ekete ke batho ba ba ikanyegang.
14 having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;
Ga go na mosadi ope yo o ka falolang tebo ya bone ya boleo, mme ka boaka gone, ga ba ke ba kgotsofala. Ba hepisa basadi ba ba sa tiang mo tumelong, ba ithutile go nna bohula; mme ba atlhotswe ebile ba hutsitswe.
15 forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;
Ba dule mo tseleng mme ba latlhegile jaaka Balame, morwa Beore, yo o neng a ratile madi a o neng a ka a bona ka go dira tshiamololo.
16 but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.
Balame o ne a emisiwa mo tseleng ya gagwe ya boeleele fa tonki ya gagwe e bua nae ka lentswe la setho, e mo omanya e mo kgalemela.
17 These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved.
Batho ba ga ba na mosola ba tshwana fela le metswedi ya metse e e kgadileng, ba solofetsa go le go ntsi mme ba sa tlise sepe; ga ba a nitama fela jaaka leru le le kgwekgweediwang ke matsubutsubu a diphefo. Ba sekisitswe go ya meleteng ya lefifi la bosakhutleng. (questioned)
18 For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;
Ba ipelafatsa ka maleo a bone le phenyo. Mme ba dirisa dithata tsa bone jaaka seru sa bone ba hepisetsa; ba ba falotseng botshelo jo bo maswe joo mo sebeng gape.
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.
Ba ba raya ba re, “Ga lo a bolokwa ka go nna tshiamo; lo ka nna lwa bolokwa ka go tlhoka tshiamo. Dirang se lo se ratang, lo gololesege.” Mme bone baruti ba ba ba nayang “kgololesego” e e mo molaong ke bone batlhanka ba boleo le tshenyego. Gonne motho ke motlhanka wa se se mo laolang.
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.
Mme fa motho a falotse mekgwa e e bosula ya lefatshe ka go ithuta ka ga Morena le Mmoloki wa rona Jesu Keresete, mme a bo a ithatheletsa ka sebe a bo a nna motlhanka wa sone gape, o maswe bogolo go gaisa jaaka a ne a ntse pele.
21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
Go ne go ka nna botoka fa a ne a ise a ke a itse ka Keresete gotlhelele go na le go ithuta ka ga gagwe mme morago ga moo a bo a fapoga melao e e boitshepo e o e neetsweng.
22 It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.
Mogologolo a re, “Ntsa e boela mo matlhatseng a yone, mme kolobe e tlhapisediwa fela go bowa e bidikama mo morageng gape.” Go ntse fela jalo le mo go ba ba boelang mo dibeng tsa bone gape.
