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 false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Abantu bangi baligoberera empisa zaabwe ez’obukaba ne bavumaganyisa ekkubo ery’amazima;
Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 balibafunamu amagoba mangi nga bakozesa ebigambo eby’obulimba olw’omululu gwabwe. Abo Katonda yabasalira dda omusango era n’okuzikirizibwa kwabwe tekubuusibwabuusibwa.
In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
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 didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for 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 didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a proclaimer of righteousness, when he brought a flood on 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 to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
7 Kyokka n’awonya Lutti, omutuukirivu, eyalumwanga ennyo olw’obulamu obw’abantu abo abajeemu.
and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life 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 was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
9 Mukama amanyi okuwonya n’okuggya mu kugezesebwa abamutya, n’abonereza abatali bakkiriza okutuusa ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango,
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
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 those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 Kyokka bo bamalayika newaakubadde be basinga abayigiriza abo amaanyi n’obuyinza, bwe batwala ensonga ezo eri Mukama waffe tebakozesa lulimi luvuma.
whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment 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 unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
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.
receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit 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 who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
15 abaakyama ne bava mu kkubo okufaanana nga Balamu mutabani wa Beyoli, eyayagala empeera ey’obutali butuukirivu.
Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
16 Kyokka endogoyi etayogera, Katonda bwe yagyogeza n’emumanya olw’obujeemu bwe n’eziyiza eddalu lya nnabbi oyo.
but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped 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 driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (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, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
19 Babasuubiza eddembe, so nga bo bennyini baddu ba bikolwa ebibi eby’okuzikirira. Kubanga omuntu afuuka muddu w’ekyo ekimufuga.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
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 defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
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 would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back 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 has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
