2 Petero 2
1 No rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ anabii a maheeni thĩinĩ wa andũ, o ta ũrĩa gũgaakorwo na arutani a maheeni thĩinĩ wanyu. Nao nĩmagatoonyia ũrutani wa maheeni wa gũthũkia andũ na waara, o na makaane Mwathani ũrĩa wamagũrire, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, merehere kwanangwo kwa narua.
But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Andũ aingĩ nĩmakarũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre yao ya ũũra-thoni na matũme njĩra ĩrĩa ya ma ĩcambio.
Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 Ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũkoroku wao, arutani acio nĩmagetongagia na inyuĩ na kũmwĩraga ngʼano cia maheeni. Ituĩro rĩao rĩa ciira rĩtũire rĩmetereire, o na kwanangwo kwao gũtiikaraga ta gũkomete.
In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old does not linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
4 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, kuona atĩ Ngai ndaigana kũiguĩra araika arĩa mehirie tha, no nĩkũmaikia aamaikirie Jehanamu, akĩmohithia marima-inĩ ma nduma maikarage kuo metereire ituĩro-rĩ, (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus (Tartaroō g5020), and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment;
5 ningĩ kuona atĩ ndaiguĩrĩire thĩ ya tene tha hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarehire kĩguũ kĩa maaĩ kũrĩ andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo matetĩkĩtie Ngai, no akĩgitĩra Nuhu, ũrĩa warĩ mũhunjia wa ũthingu na andũ angĩ mũgwanja;
and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
6 na angĩkorwo nĩatuĩrĩire matũũra ma Sodomu na Gomora ciira na ũndũ wa kũmacina magĩtuĩka mũhu, na akĩmatua kĩonereria kĩa ũrĩa gũgaatuĩka kũrĩ andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai;
and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
7 na angĩkorwo nĩahonokirie Loti, mũndũ warĩ mũthingu, na waiguithagio kĩeha nĩ mĩtũũrĩre ya ũũra-thoni ya andũ acio aaganu,
and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
8 (nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũcio mũthingu, ũrĩa waikaranagia nao o mũthenya, nĩaiguithagio ruo ngoro-inĩ yake thingu nĩ ciĩko cia waganu iria oonaga na akaigua);
(for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
9 angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo kũrĩ-rĩ, Mwathani nĩoĩ kũhonokia andũ arĩa meamũrĩire Ngai kuuma magerio-inĩ, na kũiga andũ arĩa matarĩ athingu nginya mũthenya wa ciira ũkinye, o akĩmaherithagia.
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 Na makĩria harĩ andũ arĩa marũmagĩrĩra merirĩria mooru ma mwĩrĩ marĩa marĩ magigi na makanyarara wathani o wothe. Andũ acio nĩ ndũrĩka na nĩ etĩĩi na matiĩtigagĩra kũruma ciũmbe cia igũrũ iria irĩ riiri;
but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 no rĩrĩ, o na gũtuĩka araika nĩ marĩ hinya na ũhoti makĩria, matirumaga ciũmbe icio magĩcithitangaga kũrĩ Mwathani.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
12 No andũ acio nĩmarumanaga maũndũ-inĩ marĩa matooĩ. Mahaana ta nyamũ itarĩ na meciiria, iria ciũmbĩtwo itarĩ na ũmenyo, na iciarĩtwo irĩ cia kũgwatio na kũniinwo, na o ta nyamũ-rĩ, o nao nĩ kũniinwo makaaniinwo.
But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
13 Nao nĩmakarĩhwo ũũru na ũũru kũringana na ũrĩa matũire mekaga. O monaga atĩ kũrĩĩo mũthenya barigici nĩkuo gwĩkenia. Andũ acio nĩ imeni na ũũgũ, rĩrĩa megwĩkenia maruga-inĩ mao ma ikeno hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mekũrĩanĩra na inyuĩ.
receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
14 Marĩ na maitho maiyũrĩte ũtharia, na matitigaga kwĩhia; o maguucagĩrĩria andũ arĩa marĩ ngoro hũthũ; o nĩ njorua cia ũkoroku, na nĩ rũciaro rũrume!
having eyes full of adultery, and who cannot cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
15 Nĩmatigĩte njĩra ĩrĩa nũngarũ makoora makarũmĩrĩra njĩra ya Balamu wa Beori, ũrĩa wendaga mũno mũcaara wa gwĩka ũũru.
Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
16 No nĩakũũmirwo nĩ ndigiri, nyamũ ĩtaaragia, nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka ũũru, ĩkĩaria na mũgambo wa mũndũ, na ĩkĩriĩra ũgũrũki wa mũnabii ũcio.
but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
17 Andũ acio nĩ ithima itarĩ maaĩ, na nĩ ibii iria itwaragwo nĩ kĩhuhũkanio. Nao no nduma nene makĩria metereirio. (questioned)
These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
18 Nĩgũkorwo maaragia ndeto cia tũhũ na cia mwĩtĩĩo, makaguucagĩrĩria na merirĩria mao mooru ma mwĩrĩ o na ũũra-thoni andũ arĩa marethara moime thĩinĩ wa arĩa matũũraga mahĩtagia.
For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
19 Mameeragĩra gũkũũrwo ũkombo-inĩ, o rĩrĩa o ene marĩ ngombo cia ũhoro wa kũbutha, nĩgũkorwo mũndũ nĩ ngombo ya ũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũmwathaga.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
20 Mangĩkorwo nĩmetharĩte kuuma thĩinĩ wa maũndũ marĩa marĩ magigi ma gũkũ thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyana na Mwathani na Mũhonokia witũ, Jesũ Kristũ na ningĩ macooke kuohanio na maũndũ na magatoorio nĩmo-rĩ, mũtũũrĩre wao wa marigĩrĩrio-inĩ ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũũru gũkĩra wa kĩambĩrĩria.
For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 Nĩ kaba matangĩamenyete njĩra ya ũthingu, gũkĩra kũmĩmenya na magacooka kũhutatĩra watho ũrĩa mũtheru maatigĩirwo.
For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Ũhoro ũcio wao, nĩwonanĩtio nĩ wa ma nĩ thimo iria ciugaga atĩrĩ: “Ngui ĩcookagĩrĩra matahĩko mayo,” na, “Ngũrwe ya mũgoma yathambio ĩcookaga ĩgathiĩ kwĩgaragaria mũtondo-inĩ.”
But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
