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.
Fuerunt vero et pseudoprophetae in populo, sicut et in vobis erunt magistri mendaces, qui introducent sectas perditionis, et eum, qui emit eos, Dominum negant: superducentes sibi celerem perditionem.
2 And many will follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of.
Et multi sequentur eorum luxurias, per quos via veritatis blasphemabitur:
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.
et in avaritia fictis verbis de vobis negotiabuntur: quibus iudicium iam olim non cessat: et perditio eorum non dormitat.
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)
Si enim Deus angelis peccantibus non pepercit, sed rudentibus inferni detractos in tartarum tradidit cruciandos, in iudicium reservari. (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;
Et originali mundo non pepercit, sed octavum Noe iustitiae praeconem custodivit, diluvium mundo impiorum inducens.
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.
Et civitates Sodomorum, et Gomorrhaeorum in cinerem redigens, eversione damnavit: exemplum eorum, qui impie acturi sunt, ponens:
7 And delivered just Lot, grieved with the habitual lewdness of the wicked:
et iustum Lot oppressum a nefandorum iniuria, ac luxuriosa conversatione eripuit:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, grieved [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds; )
aspectu enim, et auditu iustus erat: habitans apud eos, qui de die in diem animam iustam iniquis operibus cruciabant.
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:
Novit Dominus pios de tentatione eripere: iniquos vero in diem iudicii reservare cruciandos.
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.
magis autem eos, qui post carnem in concupiscentia immunditiae ambulant, dominationemque contemnunt, audaces, sibi placentes, sectas non metuunt introducere blasphemantes:
11 Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
ubi angeli fortitudine, et virtute cum sint maiores, non portant adversum se execrabile iudicium.
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:
Hi vero velut irrationabilia pecora, naturaliter in captionem, et in perniciem in his quae ignorant blasphemantes in corruptione sua peribunt,
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;
percipientes mercedem iniustitiae, voluptatem existimantes diei delicias: coinquinationis, et maculae deliciis affluentes, in conviviis suis luxuriantes vobiscum,
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:
oculos habentes plenos adulterii, et incessabilis delicti. Pellicientes animas instabiles, cor exercitatum avaritia habentes, maledictionis filii:
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;
derelinquentes rectam viam erraverunt, secuti viam Balaam ex Bosor, qui mercedem iniquitatis amavit:
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet.
correptionem vero habuit suae vesaniae: subiugale mutum animal, in hominis voce loquens, prohibuit prophetae insipientiam.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (questioned)
Hi sunt fontes sine aqua, et nebulae turbinibus exagitatae, quibus caligo tenebrarum reservatur.
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.
Superba enim vanitatis loquentes, pelliciunt in desideriis carnis luxuriae eos, qui paululum effugiunt, qui in errore conversantur:
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.
libertatem illis promittentes, cum ipsi servi sint corruptionem: a quo enim quis superatus est, huius et servus est.
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.
Si enim refugientes coinquinationes mundi in cognitione Domini nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi, his rursus implicati superantur: facta sunt eis posteriora deteriora prioribus.
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.
Melius enim erat illis non cognoscere viam iustitiae, quam post agnitionem, retrorsum converti ab eo, quod illis traditum est sancto mandato.
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.
Contigit enim eis illud veri proverbii: Canis reversus ad suum vomitum: et, Sus lota in volutabro luti.
