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 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 Anpil va swiv vi sansyèl yo, e akoz de yo, chemen laverite a va meprize.
Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
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.
In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
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 didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for 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 didn’t 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 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 Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
7 epi si li te delivre Lot ki te yon nonm ladwati, oprime pa sansyalite a mesye san prensip yo,
and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life 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 was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless 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.
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 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 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 malgre zanj ki pi gran an pwisans ak pouvwa yo pa janm pote yon move jijman kont yo devan Senyè a.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment 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 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 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.
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 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 who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
15 Nan abandone bon chemen an, yo vin egare pou swiv chemen Balaam, fis Bosor a, ki te renmen salè inikite yo.
Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
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 he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped 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 driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (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, 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 k ap pwomèt yo libète, pandan yo menm se esklav a koripsyon; paske sa ki domine yon moun, fè l vin esklav.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
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 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 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 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 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 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.”
