< 2 Petro 2 >

1 Avanyamalago avavwudesi avaehominche khu vanya Israeli, na avamanyisi ava vwudesi yavikhwinche khulyomwe. Khuvwutitu yavigega uvwumasiyisyo lwa vwudesi pwu vikhombelaga umpoki yuywa avagolile. Vihegegelaga uvwuvivi vwa mbeve khuvene.
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 Vingi yavikongaga injela inche vene inchinya soni, pwu uhugendela avene vihoyebedago enjela ya lweli.
And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute.
3 Khu wimi vihovohaga avanu khu mamenyu aga vwudesi, uvwuhegi wa vene savuhalendele, uvuvuvivi yavuhovakonga.
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 Ulwa khuva uNguluve saavalekhe avasuhwa avapalahani, avataginie pasi pa kelonga pwu wakongiwe emilegehe gya kyoma vwuvigulila uvwohigi vwuvijele. (Tartaroō g5020)
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 g5020)
5 U Nguluve saa eyomelenchene khelunga kya hatale. UNguluve amfihile u Nuhu unyalwedemo lwa yelweli, paninie na avange saba, unsekhe upualekhelile ulwongomencho pa khilunga avagalwikhe.
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 UNguluve agehegile Sodoma ne Gomora gekhafikhela ukhuva lyela nu hunangekha pwu geve khwani khu voni avanyanogwa khumajuva aga khovolongolo.
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 Vwu avombile elyo ampokhile u Lutu umunu va yelweli, ale nu lususuvalo na vavo savikonga indagelo incha Nguluve.
But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him.
8 Ulwa khuva uywa umunu va yelweli uveatamaga navo amajuva goni nu khuyegatancha enumbula ya mwene hu gago agapulikhe nu khugalola.
(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 Ulwa khuva untwa alomanyile umwakhovapokha avanu va mwene imisekhe gya ukhugatanchiwa nu khuvalolela avatula nogwa nu ukhugulila uvwuhegi uvwa sikhu njoni.
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 Uvwu vuvu wa yelweli khu vavo vipitama mu vuwnogwe wa mbili ugu nu mhuvwubeda uvwutwa. Avanu ndava valenuvwukifu mu numbula inchavene, savidwada ukhuvabeda avavalanche.
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 Ulwa khuva avasung'wa vale na uludeva ne amakha ukhulutelela khu vanu, saviwesya hugega uvuhegi wa nogwa pa ntwa.
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 Ulwa khuva ifikhenu iyi filivovole ulahala fipeliwe fibatiwagwe nu ukhuyajwa. Vilemanchiwa khu mahombo agavene.
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 Emusi yoni vitama mu mbivi, wadegile uvulaminu uvutula nongwa, vihovokhela imbivi incha vwudesi vovihovokha nuve.
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 Amikho ga vene gagubekhiwe nu uvwuligu, savikwela ukhuvomba imbivi, vikhovasyova nu khuvagwisya avampelela avadebe mu mbivi. Vwale ni numbula inchidegile uvanogwe, avana avakotoliwe.
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 Vayelekhile enjela ya lweli vayagilwe vayekongile enjeli iya Balaam umwana va Beori, uve angilwe ukhukava amahombo ga volyasi.
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 Ulwa khuva abenchiwe khu uvwuvivi wa mwene. Eligodowe ilisalinchova lya nchovile ndi menyu lwa munu, asigile ulukwale lwa nyamalago.
But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet.
17 Avanu ava vale nduhedwidui inchilivovole amagaasi. Nda mafunde agiyanchanwa ne mepo. Elifunde elinchitu levehiwe kwa ajili ya vene. (questioned)
These people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense darkness has been reserved.
18 Inchova khulwiginio lwene ikhovaguesya avanu hu vonogwe wa mbele.
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 Huvasyova avanu avinogwa ukhuvanyila vwala avitama nu uvwutula nogwa. Ikhovavola avanu uvudehe khunu avene vatula nogwa nu uvwulyasi. Ulwa khuva umunu ivehiwa ukhuva insuhiwa nola uviihondongoncha.
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 Umwe uveipaga uvwvivi wa kilunga khuvombela uluhala lwa nkulndeva vetu Yesu Klisite, ivuya ikirivokila uvolami, uvwu lami mwene uviva vuvivi ukhulutela uvutachi.
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 Yehanogiwagwa avanu avo wasite ukhuyemanya enjela iya wayelweli, huba wale kalekhe uhulumanya ululagilo uluvalanche uluvapevilwe.
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 Ihechago che hiva nelweli hu vene. “Embwa yihilivo khela amadesi gha yene, nengube eyeonchiwe yikiliwohela amadope.”
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."
