2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Gake aʋatsonyagblɔɖilawo nɔ ameawo dome abe ale si aʋatsonufialawo anɔ miawo hã domee ene. Woahe nu dada fiafiawo vɛ le adzame, woagbe nu gɔ̃ hã le Aƒetɔ ŋusẽkatãtɔ si ƒle wo la gbɔ, eye woahe gbegblẽ ava woawo ŋutɔ ɖokui dzi kaba.
2 And many will follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of.
Ame geɖewo adze woƒe ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo yome eye woagblɔ busunya ɖe nyateƒe la ŋu.
3 And through covetousness they will with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Nufiala siawo, le woƒe ŋukeklẽ me, atsɔ nya kpakpawo aɖe vi le mia ŋuti. Woƒe fɔbubu le ta dzi na wo tso blema ke, eye woƒe gbegblẽ medɔ alɔ̃ o.
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)
Elabena ne Mawu mekpɔ nublanui na mawudɔlawo esi wowɔ nu vɔ̃ o, ke boŋ eɖo wo ɖe dzomavɔ me, hede ga wo ɖe ʋe globo doviviti me, be woanɔ afi ma va se ɖe ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe; (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;
ne metsɔe ke blema xexemetɔwo o, ke boŋ wòna tsi ɖɔ hetsrɔ̃ mawumavɔ̃la mawo, negbe dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe gbeƒãɖela, Noa kple ame adreawo ko wòɖe;
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.
ne ebu fɔ Sodom kple Gomora duawo hena dzo fia wo, wozu afi, eye wòtsɔ wo wɔ kpɔɖeŋu na nu si adzɔ ɖe mawumavɔ̃lawo dzi;
7 And delivered just Lot, grieved with the habitual lewdness of the wicked:
ne eɖe ame dzɔdzɔe Lɔt, ame si semanɔsitɔ mawo ƒe agbe ƒaƒã nɔnɔ ti kɔ na,
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, grieved [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds; )
(elabena esi ame dzɔdzɔe ma nɔ wo dome la, eƒe luʋɔ dzɔdzɔe la kpea fu gbe sia gbe ne ekpɔ, eye wòse agbe si nɔm ameawo le semaɖemɔnatɔe la).
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:
Ne ele alea la, ekema Aƒetɔ la nya ale si wòaɖe mawuvɔ̃lawo tso dodokpɔwo me, eye wònya ale si wòalé mawumavɔ̃lawoe, anɔ to hem na wo va se ɖe ʋɔnudrɔ̃ŋkeke la dzi.
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Esia nye nyateƒe, vevietɔ na ame siwo dze ŋutilã ƒe nudzodzro vɔ̃wo yome, eye wodoa vlo kplɔlawo. Dzideƒo kple ɖokuiŋudzedze le ame siawo me ale gbegbe be womevɔ̃a nya vlowo gbɔgblɔ ɖe dziƒodɔlawo ŋu o.
11 Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
Togbɔ be mawudɔlawo de ŋgɔ, hesesẽ wu wo gɔ̃ hã la, wometsɔa ameŋugblẽnya bua fɔ nu gbagbe siawo le Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkume o.
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:
Gake ame siawo gblɔa busunya le nya siwo gɔme womese o la me. Wole abe lã siwo si nunya mele o, nuwɔwɔ siwo wɔ nu ɖekematsɔlemetɔe kple lã siwo wodzi ko be woalé wo, eye woatsrɔ̃ wo la ene. Eye abe lãwo ene la, woawo hã woatsrɔ̃.
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;
Woaxɔ madzemadzenyenye ƒe fetu: Ame siwo bua gbe sia gbe ƒe aglotutu dzidzɔdonui, ɖiƒoƒo kple ŋukpe wonye. Wotsɔa nu siwo wokpɔ to woƒe amebeble me la ɖua nu tsui; evɔ la, wonɔa anyi ɖe kplɔ̃ ɖeka ŋu ɖua nu kpli mi.
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: they have a heart exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Ahasiwɔwɔ xɔ ŋku dzi na wo, eye womedzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ gbeɖe o, wodɔna kple ame malikewo. Wobi ɖe ŋukeklẽ me, eye wonye dzidzime si dzi fiƒode le!
15 Who have forsaken the right way, and gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
Wogblẽ mɔ dzɔdzɔe la ɖi, helé Beor ƒe vi Balaam ƒe mɔ tsɔ, ame si lɔ̃ vɔ̃ɖinyenye ƒe fetu.
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet.
Ke tedzi lãmaƒonu tsɔ ame ƒe gbe ƒo nu nɛ, ka mo nɛ ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ta, heɖo asi Mawu ƒe nyagblɔɖila la ƒe tsukunuwo wɔwɔ dzi.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (questioned)
Ŋutsu siawo le abe vudo siwo me tsi mele o kple afudodo si ahom lɔna ɖe nu la ene. Wodzra viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ɖo ɖi na wo.
18 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that had quite escaped from them who live in error.
Elabena wotsɔa woƒe nu gblɔa nya dzodzro, siwo me dada le, wotsɔa ŋutilã ƒe nudzodzro vɔ̃wo blea ame siwo si le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo nu fifi laa la nu.
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.
Wodoa ablɔɖe ƒe ŋugbe na wo esi woawo ŋutɔ wonye kluviwo na anyidzedze, elabena ame nyea kluvi na nu sia nu si ɖu aƒetɔ ɖe edzi la.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Nenye be wosi le gbegblẽ si le xexea me nu, to sidzedze míaƒe Aƒetɔ kple Ɖela Yesu Kristo me, evɔ wogbugbɔ gabla wo ɖe nu mawo ke me, heɖu wo dzi la, woƒe nuwuwu avɔ̃ɖi wu ale si wònɔ le gɔmedzedzea me.
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.
Anyo na wo be womenya dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔ o tsɔ wu be woanyae, eye woatrɔ megbe ade sedede kɔkɔe si wotsɔ de asi na wo.
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.
Ame siawo la, lododo siawo nye nyateƒe le wo ŋuti be, “Avu trɔna gayia nu si wòdzɔ la gbɔ,” eye “Ha si wole tsi na la gayia eƒe babublu dzi.”
