2 Peetero 2
1 Naye waaliwo ne bannabbi ab’obulimba mu bantu, era nga bwe walibaawo abayigiriza ab’obulimba mu mmwe. Baliyingiza mu nkiso enjigiriza enkyamu etwala abantu mu kuzikirira. Balyegaana ne Mukama waffe, ne beereetako okuzikirira okw’amangu.
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Abantu bangi baligoberera empisa zaabwe ez’obukaba ne bavumaganyisa ekkubo ery’amazima;
And many will follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of.
3 balibafunamu amagoba mangi nga bakozesa ebigambo eby’obulimba olw’omululu gwabwe. Abo Katonda yabasalira dda omusango era n’okuzikirizibwa kwabwe tekubuusibwabuusibwa.
And through covetousness they will with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4 Katonda teyasaasira bamalayika abaayonoona, wabula yabasuula mu lukonko oluwanvu olujjudde ekizikiza, gye bali, nga basibiddwa mu njegere nga balindirira olunaku olw’okusalirwako omusango. (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved to judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 N’ensi ey’edda teyagisaasira, n’aleeta amataba ku nsi okuzikiriza abo abataamutya, n’alokolako Nuuwa eyabuulira obutuukirivu wamu n’abalala musanvu.
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 Era yasalira omusango abaali mu bibuga by’e Sodomu n’e Ggomola bwe yabazikiriza, ne bisirikka mu muliro, bw’atyo n’alaga ebyo ebigenda okutuuka ku buli atatya Katonda.
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an example to those that afterwards should live ungodly lives.
7 Kyokka n’awonya Lutti, omutuukirivu, eyalumwanga ennyo olw’obulamu obw’abantu abo abajeemu.
And delivered just Lot, grieved with the habitual lewdness of the wicked:
8 Olw’okubanga yababeerangamu, buli lunaku, yalabanga era n’awuliranga ebikolwa eby’obujeemu bye baakolanga, ekyo ne kimuleetera okunyolwa mu mwoyo gwe omutuukirivu.
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, grieved [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds; )
9 Mukama amanyi okuwonya n’okuggya mu kugezesebwa abamutya, n’abonereza abatali bakkiriza okutuusa ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango,
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished:
10 n’okusingira ddala abo abagoberera okwegomba kwabwe okw’omubiri ne banyooma abakulembeze baabwe. Tebaliiko kye batya, beerowoozaako bokka, era tebakwatibwa na nsonyi kuvuma baakitiibwa.
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 Kyokka bo bamalayika newaakubadde be basinga abayigiriza abo amaanyi n’obuyinza, bwe batwala ensonga ezo eri Mukama waffe tebakozesa lulimi luvuma.
Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12 Abantu bali bavuma ne bye batategeera, bali ng’ensolo obusolo ezitaliimu magezi ezikwatibwa okuttibwa ne zizikirizibwa; era nabo okufaanana ng’ensolo ezo, bagenda kuzikirizibwa.
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption:
13 Abantu abo bagenda kubonerezebwa olw’ebibi bye bakola. Kubanga buli lunaku bagoberera okwegomba kwabwe olw’okwesanyusa, era abantu abo bakwasa mmwe ensonyi era babaswaza bwe beegatta nammwe mu mbaga zammwe, nga bakola effujjo mu masanyu gaabwe.
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day-time. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Balina amaaso agajjude obukaba, tebalekaayo kukola kibi buli kiseera boonoona era basendasenda abatali banywevu, bajjudde omululu. Baana abaakolimirwa,
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: they have a heart exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 abaakyama ne bava mu kkubo okufaanana nga Balamu mutabani wa Beyoli, eyayagala empeera ey’obutali butuukirivu.
Who have forsaken the right way, and gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 Kyokka endogoyi etayogera, Katonda bwe yagyogeza n’emumanya olw’obujeemu bwe n’eziyiza eddalu lya nnabbi oyo.
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 Abantu abo nzizi ezitaliimu mazzi. Bali ng’ebire ebitwalibwa embuyaga, era baterekeddwa ekifo eky’ekizikiza ekikutte be zigizigi.
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (questioned)
18 Boogera ebigambo eby’okwekuluntaza era ebitaliimu nsa. Mu kwegomba kw’omubiri ne mu bukaba bwabwe basendasenda abo abali okumpi n’okubadduka abakyatambulira mu kibi.
For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that had quite escaped from them who live in error.
19 Babasuubiza eddembe, so nga bo bennyini baddu ba bikolwa ebibi eby’okuzikirira. Kubanga omuntu afuuka muddu w’ekyo ekimufuga.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage.
20 Era abantu bwe bategeera Mukama waffe era Omulokozi waffe Yesu Kristo, ne badduka okuva mu bintu ebyo eby’ensi ebyonoona era ebitwala abantu mu kuzikirira, ate ne bava awo ne babiddamu, bibasibira ddala era obulamu bwabwe bufuuka bubi nnyo okusinga bwe bwali okusooka.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 Ekyandisinze be bantu abo obutategeerera ddala kkubo lya Mukama waffe ery’obutuukirivu, eriggya abantu mu kuzikirira, okusinga lwe bamala okulitegeera, ate ne bava ku biragiro ebitukuvu bye baaweebwa.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Olugero olwagerebwa kyeluva lutuukirira ku bo olugamba nti, “Embwa eridde ebisesemye byayo,” na luno nti: “Embizzi eva okunaazibwa ezzeeyo okwekulukuunya mu bitosi.”
But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
