1 Bet arī viltīgi pravieši bijuši starp tiem ļaudīm, kā arī jūsu starpā būs viltīgi mācītāji, kas paslepen ievedīs svešas posta mācības un To Kungu, kas tos atpircis, aizliegdami pelnīsies ātru pazušanu.
Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
2 Un daudzi dzīsies pakaļ viņu palaidnībām; un caur viņiem tas patiesības ceļš taps zaimots.
And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
3 Un mantas kārības pēc viņi ar viltīgi izdomātiem vārdiem pie jums ielabināsies; par tiem tā sodība jau sen nekavējās un viņu posts nesnauž.
Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
4 Jo ja Dievs nav saudzējis tos eņģeļus, kas apgrēkojušies, bet tos nogāzis ellē un nodevis tumsības saitēm, ka tie taptu paturēti uz sodību; (Tartaroō g5020)
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Un ja nav saudzējis to veco pasauli, bet Nou, to taisnības sludinātāju, līdz ar septiņiem citiem ir pasargājis, kad plūdus uzveda tai bezdievīgai pasaulei,
He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
6 Un tās pilsētas Sodomu un Gomoru pelnos likdams caur izdeldēšanu nosodījis un iecēlis par priekšzīmi tiem, kas bezdievīgi dzīvos;
He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
7 Un ir izrāvis to taisno Latu, kas caur šo neganto cilvēku nešķīsto dzīvošanu bija grūtumu cietis,
But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
8 (Jo šis taisnais cilvēks viņu starpā mājodams savā taisnā dvēselē ir mocījies dienu no dienas, redzēdams un dzirdēdams viņu negantos darbus):
That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
9 Tā Tas Kungs dievbijīgos zin izraut no kārdināšanas, bet netaisnos mocīšanai paturēt uz soda dienu;
And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
10 Bet visvairāk tos, kas staigā pēc miesas iekš nešķīstām kārībām un valdību nicina, kas ir droši, patgalvīgi, un kam nav bail, zaimot tos godā celtos;
[He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
11 Lai gan eņģeļi, spēkā un varā lielāki būdami, nenes Tā Kunga priekšā tiesu pret tiem, zaimodami.
In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
12 Bet šie, tā kā neprātīgi zvēri, kas pēc savas dabas dzimuši, ka top gūstīti un nokauti, zaimodami, ko tie neprot, savā pazušanā arī pazudīs,
Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
13 Dabūdami netaisnības algu. Tiem šķiet, saldumu esam, ikdienas kārībā dzīvot; tie ir traipekļu pilni un gānekļi un kārīgi savās viltībās, kad tie ir līdz ar jums mielastos;
God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
14 Tiem ir acis pilnas ar laulības pārkāpšanu, un tie neatstājās no grēkiem, krāpdami nestiprinātas dvēseles, tiem sirds radināta uz negausību, lāstu bērni;
They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
15 Tie no tā īstenā ceļa atstādamies ir maldījušies un dzenās pakaļ Bileāma, Beora dēla, ceļam, kas netaisnības algu mīlēja.
They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
16 Bet viņš tapa pārmācīts par savu pārkāpšanu, kad tas mēmais nastu nesējs lops ar cilvēka balsi runādams aizkavēja tā pravieša bezprātību.
But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
17 Tie ir akas bez ūdens, padebeši no viesuļa mētāti, kam visdziļākā tumsība top paturēta mūžīgi. (questioned)
These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
18 Jo lepnus un tukšus vārdus runādami, tie krāpj caur miesas kārībām un bezkaunībām tos, kas patiesi jau bija izbēguši no tiem, kas dzīvo iekš alošanās;
By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
19 Apsola tiem svabadību, un paši ir pazušanas kalpi: jo no kura kāds ir pārvarēts, tā kalps viņš ir.
[The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
20 Jo ja tie caur Tā Kunga un Pestītāja Jēzus Kristus atzīšanu gan izbēguši no pasaules apgānīšanām, bet iekš tām atkal iepinušies top uzvarēti, tad pēc ar viņiem paliek niknāki nekā papriekš.
Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
21 Jo tiem būtu bijis labāki, kad tie taisnības ceļu nebūtu atzinuši, nekā, kad to bija atzinuši, nogriezties no tā svētā baušļa, kas tiem bija iedots.
[Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
22 Bet tiem ir noticis pēc tā patiesīgā sakāmā vārda: suns atkal ierij savu vēmekli, un peldināta cūka atkal vārtās dubļos.
[The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
