2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
aparaṁ pūrvvakālē yathā lōkānāṁ madhyē mithyābhaviṣyadvādina upātiṣṭhan tathā yuṣmākaṁ madhyē'pi mithyāśikṣakā upasthāsyanti, tē svēṣāṁ krētāraṁ prabhum anaṅgīkr̥tya satvaraṁ vināśaṁ svēṣu varttayanti vināśakavaidharmmyaṁ guptaṁ yuṣmanmadhyam ānēṣyanti|
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
tatō 'nēkēṣu tēṣāṁ vināśakamārgaṁ gatēṣu tēbhyaḥ satyamārgasya nindā sambhaviṣyati|
3 And through covetousness they shall with deceptive words exploit you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
aparañca tē lōbhāt kāpaṭyavākyai ryuṣmattō lābhaṁ kariṣyantē kintu tēṣāṁ purātanadaṇḍājñā na vilambatē tēṣāṁ 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 to judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
īśvaraḥ kr̥tapāpān dūtān na kṣamitvā timiraśr̥ṅkhalaiḥ pātālē ruddhvā vicārārthaṁ samarpitavān| (Tartaroō g5020)
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
purātanaṁ saṁsāramapi na kṣamitvā taṁ duṣṭānāṁ saṁsāraṁ jalāplāvanēna majjayitvā saptajanaiḥ sahitaṁ dharmmapracārakaṁ nōhaṁ rakṣitavān|
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those that afterwards should live ungodly lives;
sidōmam amōrā cētināmakē nagarē bhaviṣyatāṁ duṣṭānāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntaṁ vidhāya bhasmīkr̥tya vināśēna daṇḍitavān;
7 And delivered just Lot, grieved with the immoral behaviour of the wicked:
kintu taiḥ kutsitavyabhicāribhi rduṣṭātmabhiḥ kliṣṭaṁ dhārmmikaṁ lōṭaṁ rakṣitavān|
8 ( For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, tormented his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds; )
sa dhārmmikō janastēṣāṁ madhyē nivasan svīyadr̥ṣṭiśrōtragōcarēbhyastēṣām adharmmācārēbhyaḥ svakīyadhārmmikamanasi dinē dinē taptavān|
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished:
prabhu rbhaktān parīkṣād uddharttuṁ vicāradinañca yāvad daṇḍyāmānān adhārmmikān rōddhuṁ 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.
viśēṣatō yē 'mēdhyābhilāṣāt śārīrikasukham anugacchanti kartr̥tvapadāni cāvajānanti tānēva (rōddhuṁ pārayati|) tē duḥsāhasinaḥ pragalbhāśca|
11 Though angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not a railing accusation against them before the Lord.
aparaṁ balagauravābhyāṁ śrēṣṭhā divyadūtāḥ prabhōḥ sannidhau yēṣāṁ vaiparītyēna nindāsūcakaṁ vicāraṁ na kurvvanti tēṣām uccapadasthānāṁ nindanād imē 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 yē buddhihīnāḥ prakr̥tā jantavō dharttavyatāyai vināśyatāyai ca jāyantē tatsadr̥śā imē yanna budhyantē 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;
tē divā prakr̥ṣṭabhōjanaṁ sukhaṁ manyantē nijachalaiḥ sukhabhōginaḥ santō yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhōjanaṁ kurvvantaḥ kalaṅkinō dōṣiṇaśca bhavanti|
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: they have an heart exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
tēṣāṁ lōcanāni paradārākāṅkṣīṇi pāpē cāśrāntāni tē cañcalāni manāṁsi mōhayanti lōbhē tatparamanasaḥ santi ca|
15 Who have forsaken the right way, and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
tē śāpagrastā vaṁśāḥ saralamārgaṁ vihāya biyōraputrasya biliyamasya vipathēna vrajantō bhrāntā abhavan| sa biliyamō 'pyadharmmāt prāpyē pāritōṣikē'prīyata,
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb donkey speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
kintu nijāparādhād bhartsanām alabhata yatō 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. (questioned)
imē nirjalāni prasravaṇāni pracaṇḍavāyunā cālitā mēghāśca tēṣāṁ kr̥tē nityasthāyī ghōratarāndhakāraḥ sañcitō 'sti| (questioned)
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that are just escaping from them who live in error.
yē ca janā bhrāntyācārigaṇāt kr̥cchrēṇōddhr̥tāstān imē 'parimitadarpakathā bhāṣamāṇāḥ śārīrikasukhābhilāṣaiḥ kāmakrīḍābhiśca mōhayanti|
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage.
tēbhyaḥ svādhīnatāṁ pratijñāya svayaṁ vināśyatāyā dāsā bhavanti, yataḥ, yō yēnaiva parājigyē 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 in them, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
trātuḥ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya jñānēna saṁsārasya malēbhya uddhr̥tā yē punastēṣu nimajjya parājīyantē tēṣāṁ prathamadaśātaḥ śēṣadaśā 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 to them.
tēṣāṁ pakṣē dharmmapathasya jñānāprāpti rvaraṁ na ca nirddiṣṭāt pavitravidhimārgāt jñānaprāptānāṁ parāvarttanaṁ|
22 But it hath happened to 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 yēyaṁ satyā dr̥ṣṭāntakathā saiva tēṣu phalitavatī, yathā, kukkuraḥ svīyavāntāya vyāvarttatē punaḥ punaḥ| luṭhituṁ karddamē tadvat kṣālitaścaiva śūkaraḥ||
