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 in the world, there have been also false prophets, as there will likewise be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, denying the Lord that bought them; thus 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.
And many will go after their profaneness; on account of whom, the way of truth will be reproached.
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.
And, in the cupidity of raving words, they will make merchandise of you: whose judgment, of a long time, is not idle; and their destruction slumbereth not.
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 spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to the infernal regions in chains of darkness, and delivered them up to be kept unto the judgment of torture, (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 spared not the former world, but preserved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the wicked;
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 burned up the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them by an overthrow, making them a demonstration to the wicked who should come after them;
7 Ua hoopakele no hoi ia Lota i ke kanaka pono, i uluhua i ka poe aia e noho makaleho ana;
and also delivered righteous Lot, who was tormented with the filthy conduct of the lawless;
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 upright man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing from day to day, was distressed in his righteous soul by their 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 knoweth how to rescue from afflictions those who fear him; and he will reserve the wicked for the day of judgment to be tormented,
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.
and especially them who go after the flesh in the lusts of pollution, and despise government. Daring and arrogant, they shudder not with awe while they blaspheme;
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, greater than they in might and valor, bring not against them a reproachful denunciation.
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, like the dumb beasts that by nature are for slaughter and corruption, while reviling the things they know not, will perish in their own corruption;
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.
they being persons with whom iniquity is the reward of iniquity, and by them rioting in the daytime is accounted delightful; defiled and full of spots are they, indulging themselves at their ease, while they give themselves up to pleasure;
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 that are full of adultery, and sins that never end; seducing unstable souls; and having a heart exercised in cupidity; children of malediction:
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;
and, having left the way of rectitude, they have wandered and gone in the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of iniquity,
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.
and who had for the reprover of his transgression a dumb ass, which, speaking with the speech of men, rebuked the madness 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, clouds driven by a tempest, persons for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness.
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, while they utter astonishing vanity, they seduce, with obscene lusts of the flesh, them who have almost abandoned these that walk 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.
And they promise them liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for, by whatever thing a man is vanquished, to that is he enslaved.
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, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, they become again involved in the same, and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former.
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 have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was 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.
But the true proverb hath happened to them: the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
