2 Petelo 2
1 Ndenge kaka basakoli ya lokuta bazalaki kati na bana ya Isalaele na tango ya kala, ndenge wana mpe bateyi ya lokuta bakozala kati na bino; bakokotisa na mayele mabe mateya ya lokuta mpe ya libebi kino ata kowangana Nkolo oyo asikolaki bango, mpe bakomibendela libebi na mbalakata.
BUT there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you, who wickedly introduce damnable heresies, and deny the sovereign Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Bato ebele bakolanda bango kati na mobulu na bango, mpe nzela ya bosolo ekofingama likolo na bango.
And many will go out of the way after their fatal errors; by means of whom the way of truth will be injuriously reviled.
3 Kati na lokoso na bango, bakobetela bino masolo ya lokuta mpo na kobenda bino mbongo na nzela ya maloba ya sukali. Nzokande, wuta kala, Nzambe akatela bango etumbu oyo ekoki mpo na bango, mpe libebi ezali penza kozela bango.
And with plausible speeches will they avariciously make gain of you whose condemnation from of old lingereth not, and their perdition doth not slumber.
4 Soki Nzambe azangaki te kopesa na ba-anjelu oyo basalaki masumu etumbu kasi abwakaki bango ya kokangama na minyololo kati na molili makasi ya lifelo epai wapi abombi bango mpo na kozela mokolo ya kosambisama, (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not the angels when they sinned, but casting them bound in chains of darkness into hell, delivered them to be kept fast until the judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 soki ayokelaki te mokili ya kala mawa kasi abikisaki bato mwambe oyo kati na bango ezalaki na Noa oyo azalaki kosakola bosembo na tango ya mpela oyo abebisaki na yango mokili elongo na bato oyo batosaki Ye te,
and spared not the old world, but guarded safely Noah the eighth person, the preacher of righteousness, when he brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly:
6 soki Nzambe apesaki na bingumba ya Sodome mpe Gomore etumbu na nzela ya moto oyo ezikisaki yango kino ekomaki putulu mpo na kopesa ndakisa ya etumbu oyo ekokweyela bato ya masumu
and reducing the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemned them to final destruction, making them an example for all who in future should live ungodly;
7 kasi akangolaki Loti, moto ya sembo, oyo atondaki na mawa kati na motema na ye likolo na mobulu ya bato wana ya mabe,
but righteous Lot, afflicted grievously with the infamously impure conduct of those lawless men, he plucked out:
8 (pamba te moto oyo ya sembo azalaki kovanda kati na bango mpe, mokolo na mokolo, azalaki komitungisa makasi kati na motema na ye mpo na mabe oyo azalaki komona mpe koyoka),
for by seeing and hearing, that righteous man whilst sojourning among them, suffered torment day by day in his righteous soul from their lawless doings;
9 elingi koloba ete Nkolo azali na makoki ya kokangola bayengebene kati na komekama mpe ya kopesa, na mokolo ya kosambisama, etumbu epai ya bato mabe.
the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, but to reserve the wicked unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 Akopesa mingi-mingi etumbu epai ya ba-oyo, mpo na lokoso na bango ya makambo ya mbindo, batambolaka kolanda baposa mabe ya nzoto mpe batiolaka bokonzi ya Nkolo. Lokola bateyi yango ya lokuta batondi na lolendo mpe bamimonaka lokola bakoka na nyonso, babangaka te kofinga bikelamu ya nkembo;
especially such as walk after the flesh in the eager pursuit of defilement, and despise government. Daring, self-sufficient, they tremble not at dignities, railing against them.
11 nzokande ba-anjelu, ba-oyo baleki kutu bango na makasi mpe na nguya, bamekaka kutu te kobimisa, liboso ya Nkolo, maloba ya kofinga bikelamu wana ya nkembo.
Whereas the angels, though so much greater in might and power, bring not a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
12 Kasi bango, bateyi ya lokuta, lokola banyama oyo ezanga mayele, oyo etambolaka na bonyama, oyo ebongisama mpo ete bato bakanga yango na mitambo mpe baboma yango, bafingaka oyo bayebi te. Mpo na yango, bakokufa lokola banyama,
But these men, as the naturally irrational brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil of the things of which they are ignorant, will perish by their own corruption;
13 bakozwa lifuti oyo ebongi na mabe na bango. Basepelaka kosala makambo ya soni na moyi makasi. Na lokuta na bango, basepelaka kosambwisa mpe kobebisa lokumu na bino tango basanganaka elongo na bino mpo na mayangani.
receiving the recompence of iniquity, counting daily luxury their pleasure; spots and blemishes, when they feast together with you; riotously indulging in their own delusions:
14 Miso na bango elembaka te kolula basi mpo na koluka kosala na bango ekobo, balembaka te kosala masumu, bakosaka bato oyo balendisama malamu te na kondima; bazali na mitema etonda na lokoso: bazali na se ya bilakeli mabe ya Nzambe.
having eyes full of adultery, and insatiable of sin; ensnaring souls of no stability; having a heart practised in all the wiles of covetousness; children for a curse:
15 Sima na bango kotika nzela ya solo, bapengwaki mbala moko na kolanda nzela ya Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, oyo alingaki lifuti ya mabe;
who forsaking the strait road are gone out of the way, following the path of Balaam the son of Bosor who loved the wages of iniquity.
16 kasi Nzambe apamelaki ye mpo na bozangi botosi na ye, atiaki maloba ya bomoto kati na monoko ya ane ya mwasi, mpe nyama yango oyo elobaka te esukisaki bozoba ya mosakoli.
But received a reproof for his peculiar transgression: the dumb ass articulating with a human voice restrained the perverseness of the prophet.
17 Bateyi yango ya lokuta bazali lokola bitima oyo ebimisaka lisusu mayi te to lokola mapata oyo mopepe makasi etindikaka. Nzambe abombela bango esika kati na molili makasi.
These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a hurricane; for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved. (questioned)
18 Pamba te, mpo na kosepelisa baposa mabe ya banzoto na bango, basalelaka maloba ya sukali mpe ezanga tina mpo na kopengwisa bato oyo bawuti kobongola mitema sika wana bawuti kokabwana na bato oyo babikaka kati na libunga.
Uttering pompous discourses of inanity, ensnaring by the lusts of the flesh, by lascivious impurities, those who had truly escaped from such as live in a course of delusion.
19 Balakaka bango bonsomi, nzokande bango moko bazali bawumbu ya baposa mabe ya nzoto, oyo ememaka bango na libebi; pamba te moto nyonso azali mowumbu ya oyo ekonzaka ye.
Preaching liberty to them, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for by whatever a man is overcome, by that also he is enslaved.
20 Soki, sima na bango kokabwana na mbindo ya mokili, mpo ete bayebi Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo mpe Mobikisi na biso, bamizongisi lisusu na bowumbu ya mbindo yango, bomoi na bango ekokoma mabe koleka ndenge ezalaki liboso.
For if having escaped from the defilements of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again enveloped by them and overcome, their last deeds are worse than the first.
21 Elingaki kozala malamu mingi mpo na bango koyeba te nzela ya bosembo, na esika ete, sima na bango koyeba nzela ya bosembo, basundola mibeko ya bule oyo epesamelaki bango.
For it had been better for them never to have been acquainted with the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to have turned aside from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 Ezaleli na bango elongisi bosolo ya masese oyo: « Mbwa ezongelaka biloko oyo yango moko esanzi » mpe « Ngulu oyo basukoli ezongelaka kotambola kati na potopoto. »
But the true proverb is verified in them, The dog hath returned to his own vomit; and the sow which was washed to its wallowing in the mire.
