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 there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Andũ aingĩ nĩmakarũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre yao ya ũũra-thoni na matũme njĩra ĩrĩa ya ma ĩcambio.
And many shall follow their riotousnesses, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
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.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their perdition slumbereth not.
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 spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment: (Tartaroō g5020)
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 spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon 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 reducing the cities of the Sodomites, and of the Gomorrhites, into ashes, condemned them to be overthrown, making them an example to those that should after act wickedly.
7 na angĩkorwo nĩahonokirie Loti, mũndũ warĩ mũthingu, na waiguithagio kĩeha nĩ mĩtũũrĩre ya ũũra-thoni ya andũ acio aaganu,
And delivered just Lot, oppressed by the injustice and lewd conversation 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 in sight and hearing he was just: dwelling among them, who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works.
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.
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation, but to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented.
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;
And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government, audacious, self willed, they fear not to bring in sects, blaspheming.
11 no rĩrĩ, o na gũtuĩka araika nĩ marĩ hinya na ũhoti makĩria, matirumaga ciũmbe icio magĩcithitangaga kũrĩ Mwathani.
Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment.
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 men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption,
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 reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts 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 of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls, having their heart exercised with covetousness, children of malediction:
15 Nĩmatigĩte njĩra ĩrĩa nũngarũ makoora makarũmĩrĩra njĩra ya Balamu wa Beori, ũrĩa wendaga mũno mũcaara wa gwĩka ũũru.
Leaving the right way they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity,
16 No nĩakũũmirwo nĩ ndigiri, nyamũ ĩtaaragia, nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka ũũru, ĩkĩaria na mũgambo wa mũndũ, na ĩkĩriĩra ũgũrũki wa mũnabii ũcio.
But had a check of his madness, the dumb beast used to the yoke, which speaking with man’s voice, forbade the folly 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 fountains without water, and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the mist of darkness is 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, speaking proud words of vanity, they allure by the desires of fleshly riotousness, those who for a little while escape, such as converse 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, whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom a man is overcome, of the same also he is the slave.
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, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former.
21 Nĩ kaba matangĩamenyete njĩra ya ũthingu, gũkĩra kũmĩmenya na magacooka kũhutatĩra watho ũrĩa mũtheru maatigĩirwo.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was 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.”
For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit: and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
