< 2 Peter 2 >

1 Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
Kuwa abhilenga bhafumie hwa Izilaeli, na bhalima abhilenga bhaihweza hulimwe husili bhaileta emanyizyo ezilenga nantele bhaikhana Ogosi yabahkale bha hwiletela idaelwomwa bho bhalinanali hwa bhanesho.
2 And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
3 Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
Bhinyi bhabhainyililila idala eeyo elyesoni ashilile abhene bhandali khane idala elyelyoli. Huwimi bhaibhakhopelela abhatu ashilile engwa ezilenga lonje oyosaga hubhakhabhe anajishe hwaibhalondolela.
4 God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
Nantele Ongolobhe sagabhaleshile atumi bhabhatejila nate abhatajile hwilongo napinye amanyolo paka olozipawaibhezela. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
Nantele Ongolobhe sagaijimbile esi yemade nantele abhashele o Nuhu, yakwiziwe lyoli pamonamwa saba, esiku zyazye bhalile alesheye avulungwemsi yenjishe.
6 He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
Ungolobhe ilojile esi eya Sodoma nahu Gomola nabhe lilota nanajishe elyoliwe fano hwabhibhi hwisiku lyalihwenza.
7 But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
Nantele pahabhambile elyo ofwolele olutumtu owelyoli yali azugumiye nenjendo echatu bhasebhajenda mwidale elya Ngolobhe.
8 That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
Nantele oyo omtu owe lyoli adelele anabho isiku hwi siku ayembaga omoyo gwakwe hwa gala gagonvwezye naga lole.
9 And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
Hwega Ogosi amenye sadabhafwole abhatubhakwa husiku enzyema yemba aajimbilile humbibhi husiku zyamwisho.
10 [He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
Hwa huje lyoli hwa bahala bhabah hwendelera akhale mu nyonyo zye bele ogu nashentde olukajizyo. Abhandu bhabhali eshibhali nojimvi hu nsebho zyabho, saga bhahogopa abhalije atundumu.
11 In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
Ngashele antumi bhaline hani nikhone ashile abhantu, nantele saga bhanda wezye aleteolonzi ngwabho hwagosi.
12 Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
Nantele ezi ehanu zyasaga zili ne njere bhalengenywe hulwinzo lwa khatwe nagogwe. Bhavwa lala humposhezi zyembibhi zyabho.
13 God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
Osanya wonti olenda humbimbi. Bhamemire obhibhi nembibhi. Osongwa embibhi ezilenga pabha shimili nawe.
14 They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
Amaso gabho gakwinshilwe no umalaya; sebhaya abhombe embibhi. Bhabhakhopela nabha gwisye abhoziwa bhasaga bhakhomile humbimbi. Bhali namoyo gaga memile enyonyo bhana bhabha yejerwe.
15 They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
Bhalileshile idala lyelyoli. Bhatejire nafwate idala lya Balaam omwana wa Beori, wasongwelwe apate emposhezi zye mbibhi.
16 But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
Antele alajilwe hwidala lye mbimbi zyakwe edogobhi yasaga eyanga ayanjile hwizu lya bhantu azijile akubha...
17 These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
Abhantu ebha sawa ne ndobhe zyasaga zilinamenzo. Nashi amabhengo gaga sogora nehara, ibhengo igosi libhe shelwe hwa bhene. (questioned)
18 By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
Ayanga nahwi vune bhabha gwisya abhantu hunyonyo zye bele, bhabha khopela abhantu bhabhalenga ashembele bhala bhabhadela mumbibhi.
19 [The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
Bhabha lajizya abhantu owene nantele abhenele bhatu bhatumwe bhe embibhi zyembibhi. Nantele amuntu abhombwe hwa hwa haha hutabhala.
20 Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
Umwene wajefwa nobhibhi wensi otumileenjere zyagosi wetu OYesu Kilisti, nantele aweyera obhibhi owe nantele, ehali yakwe abhe mbibhi ashe ye hale.
21 [Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
Ehwanzi wa aje abhantu ebho enga saga bhamnye idala lye lyoli nantele nazileshe ensomboenyinza zyabhapewilwe.
22 [The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
Enjere ezi nelyoli hwabhene. “embwa ewe yela amatapisi gakwe. Engolobhe yeyozirwe ewiyanantere mmatoto.”
