2 Piè 2
1 Men fo pwofèt yo te osi leve pami pèp la. Menmjan an, va gen fo enstriktè pami nou tou, ki va entwodwi an sekrè fo doktrin destriktif yo, ki menm nye Mèt la ki te ransonnen yo a, e yo pote destriksyon rapid sou tèt yo.
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Anpil va swiv vi sansyèl yo, e akoz de yo, chemen laverite a va meprize.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 Epi nan vorasite yo, yo va eksplwate nou avèk fo pawòl, men jijman a yo menm ki te prepare depi nan tan lontan an p ap mize, e destriksyon yo p ap dòmi.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4 Paske si Bondye pa t epagne zanj yo lè yo te peche a, men te voye yo nan labim tenèb ki te rezève pou jijman an; (Tartaroō g5020)
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 unto judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 epi pa t epagne ansyen mond lan, men te prezève Noé, yon predikatè ladwati, avèk sèt lòt, lè Li te voye yon delij sou mond konwonpi a,
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 epi si Li te kondane vil Sodome ak Gomorrhe pou destriksyon e te redwi yo an sann, epi te fè yo yon egzanp pou sila ki ta vin mennen yon vi san Bondye pi devan yo;
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 epi si li te delivre Lot ki te yon nonm ladwati, oprime pa sansyalite a mesye san prensip yo,
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (paske pa sa ke li te wè e tande nonm ladwati sila a, pandan li t ap viv pami yo, te santi nanm dwat li a te toumante jou apre jou pa zèv san règ ni lwa yo.)
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds; )
9 Alò Senyè a konnen kijan pou Li delivre moun Li yo de tantasyon, e pou kenbe mechan an anba pinisyon pou jou jijman an.
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 Sitou sila ki satisfè lachè a nan dezi konwonpi li yo, e ki meprize otorite. Plen kouraj e awogan, yo pa menm tranble lè yo ensilte zanj majeste yo,
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 malgre zanj ki pi gran an pwisans ak pouvwa yo pa janm pote yon move jijman kont yo devan Senyè a.
Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12 Men sa yo, tankou bèt san rezon, fèt tankou kreyati ki aji san refleksyon, ki fèt pou kapte e touye, ki mal pale kote yo pa gen konesans, va osi detwi nan destriksyon a kreyati sila yo.
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;
13 Y ap soufri mal kòm salè a mal ke yo fè. Se plezi yo pou fè banbòch an plèn joune. Se tach ak salte, k ap fè kè kontan nan desepsyon yo, pandan y ap fete avèk nou.
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;
14 Ak zye plen adiltè ki pa janm sispann fè peche, yo sedwi nanm ki pa stab yo. Kè yo ki antrene pou lanvi tout bagay, se pitit madichon yo ye.
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Nan abandone bon chemen an, yo vin egare pou swiv chemen Balaam, fis Bosor a, ki te renmen salè inikite yo.
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 Men li te resevwa yon repwòch pou pwòp transgresyon li. Paske yon bourik bèbè te pale avèk vwa yon moun, e te mete fren a foli a pwofèt la.
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 Sa yo se sous san dlo e nyaj ki pouse pa yon van tanpèt pou sila tenèb fènwa fin rezève nèt la. (questioned)
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (questioned)
18 Paske nan pale fò avèk awogans ak vanite, yo sedwi pa dezi lachè yo, pa sansyalite, atake sila ki prèske pa gen fòs yo pou chape devan sila ki viv nan erè yo,
For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 k ap pwomèt yo libète, pandan yo menm se esklav a koripsyon; paske sa ki domine yon moun, fè l vin esklav.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 Paske si, apre yo fin chape de tout bagay sal mond sa a pa konesans Senyè ak Sovè a Jésus Kri, yo bwouye ladan yo ankò e vin simonte dènye eta yo a vin pi mal pase premye a.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 Paske li ta pi bon pou yo pa t konnen chemen ladwati a, olye yo vin konnen l, pou vire kite kòmandman sen ki te livre a yo menm nan.
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 unto them.
22 Men sa ki vin rive a yo menm selon vrè pwovèb la: “Yon chen retounen a pwòp vomisman l” epi “gwo manman kochon an, lè l fin benye, li retounen woule kò l nan labou a.”
But it is happened unto 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.
