Petro 2 2
1 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.
Bvt there were false prophets also among the people, euen as there shalbe false teachers among you: which priuily shall bring in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lord, that hath bought them, and bring vpon themselues swift damnation.
2 Ame geɖewo adze woƒe ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo yome eye woagblɔ busunya ɖe nyateƒe la ŋu.
And many shall follow their destructions, by whom the way of trueth shalbe euil spoken of,
3 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.
And through couetousnes shall they with fained words make marchandise of you, whose condemnation long since resteth not, and their destruction slumbreth not.
4 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)
For if God spared not the Angels that had sinned, but cast them downe into hell, and deliuered them into chaines of darkenes, to be kept vnto damnation: (Tartaroō g5020)
5 ne metsɔe ke blema xexemetɔwo o, ke boŋ wòna tsi ɖɔ hetsrɔ̃ mawumavɔ̃la mawo, negbe dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe gbeƒãɖela, Noa kple ame adreawo ko wòɖe;
Neither hath spared the olde worlde, but saued Noe the eight person a preacher of righteousnesse, and brought in the flood vpon the world of the vngodly,
6 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;
And turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrhe into ashes, condemned them and ouerthrewe them, and made them an ensample vnto them that after should liue vngodly,
7 ne eɖe ame dzɔdzɔe Lɔt, ame si semanɔsitɔ mawo ƒe agbe ƒaƒã nɔnɔ ti kɔ na,
And deliuered iust Loth vexed with the vncleanly conuersation of the wicked:
8 (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).
(For he being righteous, and dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soule from day to day with their vnlawfull deedes.)
9 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.
The Lord knoweth to deliuer the godly out of tentation, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement vnder punishment.
10 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.
And chiefly them that walke after the flesh, in the lust of vncleannesse, and despise gouernement, which are bolde, and stand in their owne conceite, and feare not to speake euill of them that are in dignitie.
11 Togbɔ be mawudɔlawo de ŋgɔ, hesesẽ wu wo gɔ̃ hã la, wometsɔa ameŋugblẽnya bua fɔ nu gbagbe siawo le Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkume o.
Where as the Angels which are greater both in power and might, giue not railing iudgement against them before the Lord.
12 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.
But these, as naturall brute beasts, led with sensualitie and made to be taken, and destroyed, speake euill of those things which they know not, and shall perish through their owne corruption,
13 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.
And shall receiue the wages of vnrighteousnes, as they which count it pleasure dayly to liue deliciously. Spottes they are and blottes, deliting them selues in their deceiuings, in feasting with you,
14 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!
Hauing eyes full of adulterie, and that can not cease to sinne, beguiling vnstable soules: they haue heartes exercised with couetousnesse, they are the children of curse:
15 Wogblẽ mɔ dzɔdzɔe la ɖi, helé Beor ƒe vi Balaam ƒe mɔ tsɔ, ame si lɔ̃ vɔ̃ɖinyenye ƒe fetu.
Which forsaking the right way, haue gone astray, folowing the way of Balaam, the sonne of Bosor, which loued the wages of vnrighteousnes.
16 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.
But he was rebuked for his iniquitie: for the dumme beast speaking with mans voyce, forbade the foolishnesse of the Prophet.
17 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.
These are welles without water, and cloudes caried about with a tempest, to whome the blacke darkenes is reserued for euer. (questioned)
18 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.
For in speaking swelling wordes of vanitie, they beguile with wantonnesse through the lusts of the flesh them that were cleane escaped from them which are wrapped in errour,
19 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.
Promising vnto them libertie, and are themselues the seruants of corruption: for of whomsoeuer a man is ouercome, euen vnto the same is he in bondage.
20 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.
For if they, after they haue escaped from the filthinesse of the world, through the acknowledging of the Lord, and of the Sauiour Iesus Christ, are yet tangled againe therein, and ouercome, the latter ende is worse with them then the beginning.
21 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.
For it had bene better for them, not to haue acknowledged the way of righteousnes, then after they haue acknowledged it, to turne from the holy commandement giuen vnto them.
22 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.”
But it is come vnto them, according to the true Prouerbe, The dogge is returned to his owne vomit: and, The sowe that was washed, to the wallowing in the myre.
