< 2 Peter 2 >
1 But there arose false-prophets also among the people, as, among you also, there shall be, false-teachers, —men who will stealthily bring in destructive parties, even the Master that bought them, denying, bringing upon themselves speedy destruction;
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲁϩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲉⲣⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ
2 And, many, will follow out their wanton ways, —by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ
3 And, in greed, with forged words, will they, of you, make merchandise: for whom, the sentence from of old, is not idle, and, their destruction, doth not slumber.

4 For—if, God, spared not, messengers, when they sinned, but, to pits of gloom, consigning them, in the lowest hades, delivered them up to be kept, unto judgment, — (Tartaroō )
ⲇ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯ ⲥⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲣⲏϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲕⲟⲗⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ (Tartaroō )
5 And, an ancient world, spared not, but, with seven others, preserved, Noah, a proclaimer, of righteousness, a flood, upon a world of ungodly persons, letting loose, —
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉϥϯ ⲥⲟ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲱϩⲉ ⲁϥϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲕⲩⲣⲝ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲕⲗⲏⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ
6 And, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing to ashes, he condemned, an example of such as should be ungodly, having set forth, —
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛⲥⲟⲇⲟⲙⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲅⲱⲙⲟⲣⲣⲁ ⲁϥⲣⲟⲕϩⲟⲩ ⲉⲁϥϭⲁⲉⲓⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲟⲣϣⲣ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲣ ⲙⲛⲧϣⲁϥⲧⲉ
7 And, righteous Lot, when getting worn out by the behaviour of them who were impious in wantonness, he rescued—
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲗⲱⲧ ⲉⲩⲑⲙⲕⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲁϥⲛⲟⲩϩⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
8 For, in seeing and hearing, since he dwelt right among them, as a righteous man, he used to torment his soul, day by day, with their lawless deeds—
ⲏ̅ⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩϩⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲙⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ϩⲛϩⲉⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲛ
9 [Then] the Lord knoweth how to rescue, the godly out of trial; but to keep, the unrighteous unto a day of judgment to be punished; —

10 Most of all, however, them who go their way, after the flesh, with a coveting of defilement, and who despise, lordship, —daring! willful! before dignitaries, they tremble not, defaming,
ⲓ̅ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲓ ⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲉⲁⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲫⲣⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥⲇⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲩⲑⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ
11 where, messengers, though, greater in might and power, are not bringing against them [before the Lord] a defamatory accusation, —

12 These, however, as unreasoning creatures that have been bred as being, by nature, for capture and destruction, in the things they are ignorant of, uttering defamation, in their spoiling, shall also be made a spoil, —
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲫⲓⲥⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲃⲛⲏ ⲉⲩⲱϫⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ
13 Doing wrong themselves, for a reward of wrong, accounting, a delight, their day-time delicacy, spots and blemishes, indulging in delicacies with their stratagems, as they carouse together with you,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲛϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲉⲩⲱⲡ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲣⲩⲫⲏ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϩⲏⲇⲟⲛⲏ ⲉⲩⲧⲟⲗⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲁϩⲙ ⲉⲩⲧⲣⲩⲫⲏ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ
14 Having, eyes, full of an adulteress, and that cannot rest from sin, enticing unstable souls, having, a heart trained in greed, —children of a curse, —

15 Forsaking a straight path, they have gone astray, following out the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved, a reward of wrong,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛⲃⲁⲗⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲃⲉⲱⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲣⲓ ⲡⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲙϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ
16 But had, a reproof, of his own transgression, a dumb beast of burden, in man’s voice, finding utterance, forbade the prophet’s madness.

17 These, are fountains without water, and mists, by a tempest, driven along, —for whom, the gloom of darkness, hath been reserved;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲛⲓϥ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩϩⲁⲑⲏⲩ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲛϭⲟⲙϭⲙ ()
18 For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings—in wanton ways—them who are, well-nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ
19 Promising, freedom to them, they themselves, being all the while, slaves of corruption, —for, by whom one hath been defeated, by the same, hath he become enslaved, —
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϭⲟⲧⲡ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϥⲟ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲁϥ
20 For, if, having escaped from the defilements of the world by a personal knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but, by the same having again become entangled, they are defeated, the, last, state hath become, for them, worse than, the first;
ⲕ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉϫⲱϩⲙ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲁⲩϭⲉⲗⲟⲙⲗⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲣⲡ
21 For, better, had it been for them—not to have obtained a personal knowledge of the way of righteousness, than, having obtained such knowledge, to turn back out of the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22 There hath befallen them the thing [spoken of] in the true proverb—A dog, turning back unto his own vomit, and—A sow, as soon as washed, unto wallowing in mire.
