< Petero II 2 >

1 HE poe kaula wahahee kekahi mamua iwaena o na kanaka, pela no e hiki mai auanei kekahi poe kumu wahahee iwaena o oukou, ua lakou no e hoike malu mai i na manao ku e, e make ai, e hoole ana i ka Haku nana lakou i kuai mai, a e hooili ana i ka make koke maluna o lakou iho.
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 E nui loa no hoi ka poe hahai mamuli o ko lakou aoao hewa; a no lakou o olelo hoinoia'i ka aoao oiaio.
Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 A no ka puniwaiwai, e kuai no lakou ia oukou, me ka olelo wahahee; aole hoi e hookaulua loa ko lakou hoohewaia, aole e hiamoe ko lakou make.
In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old does not linger, and their destruction is not asleep.
4 No ka mea, ina aole i aloha mai ke Akua i na anela i hewa, aka, kiola no ia lakou ilalo i ka po, me ka paa i na kaula o ka pouli, i malamaia'i no ka hoahewaia; (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to the lower parts of Takhtaya, and committed them to chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Aole hoi i aloha mai i kela ao kahiko, o Noa wale no kana i hoola ae, o ka walu no ia, he mea hoike ma ka pono, a hoouhi mai i ke kaiakahinalii maluna o kela ao o ka poe aia;
and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Nukh with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;
6 A puhi aku no hoi i na kulanakauhale o Sodoma a me Gomora a lehu, me ka hoohewa e make mainoino, e hoolilo ana ia lakou i hoailona e ao ai i ka poe aia ma ia hope;
and turning the cities of Sedum and Amura into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7 Ua hoopakele no hoi ia Lota i ke kanaka pono, i uluhua i ka poe aia e noho makaleho ana;
and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
8 (No ka mea, o ua kanaka pono la, i kona noho pu ana me lakou, hoehaeha oia i kona naau pono i kela la i keia la, i ka ike ana, a i ka lohe ana i ka lakou hana hewa ana; )
(for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):
9 Ua ike no ka Haku e hoopakele ae i ka poe haipule mai ka hoowalewaleia ae, a e hoana e hoi i ka poe hewa, no ka la hookolokolo i hoopaiia mai lakou.
the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment;
10 O lakou mua, o ka poe hahai mamuli o ke kino, ma ke kuko i na mea haumia. me ka hoowahawaha i na'lii. He poe haanou wale lakou, a hoopaa, aole makau i ka olelo ino i na'lii.
but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to blaspheme the glories;
11 Aka, o na anela, o ka poe oi aku ka ikaika, a me ka mana, aole lakou i hoike ae imua o ka Haku i ka manao hoohewa ia lakou.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
12 Aka, o keia poe, e Mike me na holoholona maoli, i hanaia i mea e hopuia'i e pepehiia, pela lakou e olelo iho nei i na mea a lakou i hoomaopopo ole ai; a e make hoi lakou iloko o ko lakou hewa iho:
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 E ukuia hoi lakou i ka uku o ka hewa; no ka mea, ua manao lakou he mea lealea ke hoohaunaele i ke ao; he palahea lakou, a he kikohukohu, ua olioli lakou i ko lakou wahahee ana, i ka lakou ahaaina pu ana me oukou.
suffering the penalty as the wages of evil; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
14 Ua niua na maka i na wahine moe kolohe, aole hiki ke hooki i ka hewa, e kumakaia ana i na uhane ku kapekepeke; ua maa loa ko lakou naau i ka puni waiwai; he poe keiki i ahewaia.
having eyes full of adultery, and insatiable for sin, enticing unstable people, having a heart trained in greed. Children under a curse.
15 Ua haalele lakou i ko ala o ka pono ua hele hewa me ka hahai aku ma ka aoao o Balaama a Bosora, ka mea i makemake i ka uku o ka hewa;
Forsaking the right way they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.
16 Aka, ua aoia mai oia no kona hewa; na ka hoki leo ole i olelo mai me ka leo kanaka, a papa mai la i ka pupule o ua kaula la.
But he was rebuked for his own transgression; a donkey that could not talk spoke with a human voice and stopped the irrationality of the prophet.
17 He poe punawai wai ole lakou, he poe ao lakou i lele ino i ka makani; no lakou i malamaia'i ka poeleele o ka pouli mau loa. (questioned)
These are wells without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
18 No ka mea, i ko lakou haanui ana ma ka mea lapuwale, ke hoowalewale nei lakou iloko o ke kuko o ke kino a me ka makaleho wale, i na mea i haalele aku i ka poe e noho ana ma ka hewa.
For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who actually escape from those who live in error;
19 Hai mai la lakou, he luhi ole ia no lakou la, aka, e luhi ana lakou iho malalo o ka hewa; no ka mea, ma ka mea i pio ai kekahi, ua hooluhiia oia malaila.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for a person is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
20 No ka mea, ina lakou i haalele i ka paumaele o ke ao nei, no ka ike ana i ka Haku a me ka Hoola, o Iesu Kristo, a mahope iho, hihia hou, a lilo ilaila, ua oi aku ka ino o ko lakou hope, i ko ka mua.
For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua Meshikha, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 Ina ua ike ole lakou i ka aoao o ka pono, e aho no ia, mamua o ko lakou ike ana, a mahope iho haalele i ka olelo hemolele i haawiia mai na lakou.
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 Aka, ua hookoia ia lakou ka olelo oiaio, Ua hoi hou ka ilio i kona luai iho, a me ka puaa hoi i holoiia, i kona haluku ana iloko o ke kiolepo.
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."
