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 also came false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you, who will stealthily bring in destructive sects, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing quick destruction to themselves,
2 Bato ebele bakolanda bango kati na mobulu na bango, mpe nzela ya bosolo ekofingama likolo na bango.
and many will follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth will be spoken of [as] evil,
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 in covetousness, with forged words, they will make merchandise of you, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction does 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 did not spare messengers having sinned, but having cast [them] down to Tartarus with chains of deepest gloom, delivered [them], having been reserved to 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 did not spare the old world, but kept the eighth person, Noah, a preacher of righteousness, having brought a flood on the world of the impious,
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 having turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemned with an overthrow, having set [them as] an example to those about to be impious,
7 kasi akangolaki Loti, moto ya sembo, oyo atondaki na mawa kati na motema na ye likolo na mobulu ya bato wana ya mabe,
and He rescued righteous Lot, worn down by the conduct of the lawless in licentiousness,
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 the righteous [man] dwelling among them was tormented in [his] righteous soul, day by day, in seeing and hearing unlawful works—
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 has known to rescue [the] pious out of temptation, and to keep [the] unrighteous being punished to [the] day of judgment,
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;
and chiefly those following after the flesh in lust [and] defilement, and despising lordship. Bold, self-pleased, they are not afraid to speak evil of glorious ones,
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 messengers, being greater in strength and power, do not bear a slanderous judgment 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,
and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed—in what things they are ignorant of, slandering—in their destruction will be destroyed;
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.
doing unjustly, [they will receive] a reward of unrighteousness, esteeming pleasure in the day, [and] luxury—[they are] spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits, feasting with you,
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 unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of 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;
having forsaken a right way, they went astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the [son] of Bosor, who loved a reward of unrighteousness,
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.
and had a rebuke of his own iniquity—a mute donkey, having spoken in man’s voice, forbid the madness 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 wells without water, and clouds driven by a storm, to whom the deepest gloom of darkness has been kept throughout the age; (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.
for speaking swollen words of vanity, they entice in desires of the flesh—licentiousness, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,
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.
promising liberty to them, themselves being servants of corruption, for by whom anyone has been overcome, he has been brought to servitude to this one also;
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, in the acknowledging of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, and again being entangled by these things, they have been overcome, the last things have become worse to them 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 were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of righteousness, than having acknowledged [it], to turn back from the holy command delivered to 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. »
and that of the true proverb has happened to them: “A dog turned back on his own vomit,” and, “A sow having bathed herself—to rolling in mire.”
