< 2 Petro 2 >
1 Abhalagi bho lulimi bhabhonekene ku Bhaisraeli, na bheigisha bho lulimi abheja kwemwe. Kulwa imbisike abhaleta ameigisho go lulimi mbamwigana Omukama unu abhagulile. Abheletela obhunyamuke bhwo bhwangu ingulu ya bhene.
But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Abhanfu abhalubha jinjila jebhwe ja jinswalo no kutula ku bhene abhaifuma injila ye chimali.
And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute.
3 Kwo mutubho abhabhanena abhanu kwo kulabhila emisango jo lulimi indamu yebhwe itakukola, obhunyamuke bhwebhwe obhubhalubha.
Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering.
4 Kwo kubha Nyamuanga atabhasigile bhamalaika abho bhaindukile. Tali abhesele nyombe koleleki bhabhoywe jingoye okukinga ao indamu yakabhakingile. (Tartaroō )
For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement. (Tartaroō )
5 Nolwo kutyo Nyamuanga atekomesishe okutegelela insi ya kala. Tali amubhikile Nuhu, oyo ali no bhubhilikilwa bhwo bhulengelesi, amwi na bhandi musanju, ao atatiliye induluma ingulu ya insi eyo yayabhile.
And He did not spare the ancient world, although He preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly.
6 Nyamuanga alamuye emisi ja Sodoma na Gomora okingila okubha lifu no bhunyamuke koleleki chibhe chijejekanyo ku bhabhibhi mu nsiku jo bhutelo.
He reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them to overthrow, making them an example to people who might in future be living godless lives.
7 Mbe nawe ejile akola elyo, amwiluye Lutu omunu wo bhulengelesi, oyo aliga abhiilisibhwe na jintungwa jimbibhi eja bhanu bhatakulubha ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga.
But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him.
8 Kulwo kubha omunu unu wo bhulengelesi, oyo ekaye nabho lusiku kwo lusiku nanyasha omutima gwae kwago ongwaga no kugalola.
(For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man--all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)
9 Kulwejo Latabhugenyi amenyele jinjila jo kubhakisha abhanu bhaye mu katungu ka jinyako no kubhalindilila abhabhibhi okukingila mundamu ku lusiku lwo bhutelo.
Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement,
10 Bhusi bhusi chinu nicho echimali ku bhanu abhagendelela okwikala mu namba yo mubhili gunu no kugaya. Abhanu bhejabho bhanu bhana libhasi lye mitima jebhwe, bhatakubhaya okugaya abha likusho.
and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality--craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;
11 Nolwo kutyo bhamalaika bhali no bhutulo na managa okukila abhanu, bhatakutula okuleta indamu ingulu yebhwe ku Latabhugenyi.
while angels, though greater than they in might and power, do not bring any insulting accusation against such in the presence of the Lord.
12 Mbe nawe jintyanyi ejo jitali no bhwenge bhakonjelwe kwo bhusoko bhwo kugwatibhwa no kusingalisibhwa.
But these men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts) only to be captured or destroyed, are abusive in matters of which they are ignorant, and in their corruption will perish,
13 Abhanyolwa kulwo muyelo gwa mabhibhi gebhwe. Mumwisi gwona bhekaye kwa manyamuke. Bhejuye amabhibhi no bhunyamuke. Abhakondelelwa amabhibhi go lulimi mumalya amwi nawe.
being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.
14 Ameso gebhwe gafundikiwe no bhushani; bhatakwiwa okukola amabhibhi. Abhabhajiga no kubhagwisha abhekilisha abhalela mubhiyeno. Bhane mitima ejo jijuye inamba, ni bhana abho bhafumilisibhwe.
Their very eyes are full of adultery--being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse!
15 Bhasigile injila ye chimali. Bhabhulile abhalubha injila ya Balaam omwana wa Beori, oyo endele okubhona omuyelo gwo bhujabhi.
Forsaking the straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness.
16 Mbe nawe aganyibhwe ingulu ya mabhibhi gaye. Insikili eyo yaliga ili ntita niloma mu bhulaka bhwo munu, achulesishe olusalo lwo mulagi.
But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet.
17 Abhanu bhanu ni kuti migela ejo jitali na manji. Ni kuti amele ago agasosibhwao no muyaga. Elile linene libhikilwe ku njuno yebhwe. ()
These people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense darkness has been reserved.
18 Abhaloma kwo kwiiyana. Abhagwisha abhanu ku namba yo mubhili. Abhajiga abhanu abho abhalegeja okubhabhilima bhaliya bhekaye mu bhikayo.
For, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings--every kind of immorality--as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who live in error.
19 Abhabhalagila abhanu okwiyangala kenu abhene ona bhali bhagaya bha mabhibhi. Kunsonga omunu kakolwa kubha mugaya wa chinu echo chimukamile.
And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight.
20 Oyo kesoshayo mu bhibhibhi bhya insi kwo kugwata obhwengeso bhwa Latabhugenyi no mukisha Yesu Kristo, namala nasubhila obhubhibhi obhwo, okubhonekana kwaye okubha kubhibhi okukila kubhwambilo.
For if, after escaping from the pollutions of the world through a full knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, people are once more entangled in these pollutions and are overcome, their last state has become worse than their first.
21 Akili abhanu abho bhakasigile okumenya injila yo bhulengelesi kuliko okuimenya mbasubha lindi okusiga ebhilagilo ebhyelu ebhyo bhayanilwe.
For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.
22 Olugani lunu olubha ne chimali ku bhene, “imbwa yasubhila amatanake gayo. Na ingulubhe eyo yosibhwa eisubha lindi mumatoto.”
Their case is that described in the true proverb, "A dog returns to what he has vomited," and also in the other proverb, "The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth."
