2 OPetro 2
1 Kuwa abhilenga bhafumie hwa Izilaeli, na bhalima abhilenga bhaihweza hulimwe husili bhaileta emanyizyo ezilenga nantele bhaikhana Ogosi yabahkale bha hwiletela idaelwomwa bho bhalinanali hwa bhanesho.
But there were false prophets also in the nation, just as there will be false teachers among you, people who will secretly introduce ruinous divisions, disowning even the Lord who bought them, and bringing speedy ruin on themselves.
There will be many, too, who will follow their licentious courses, and cause the way of the truth to be maligned.
3 Bhinyi bhabhainyililila idala eeyo elyesoni ashilile abhene bhandali khane idala elyelyoli. Huwimi bhaibhakhopelela abhatu ashilile engwa ezilenga lonje oyosaga hubhakhabhe anajishe hwaibhalondolela.
In their covetousness they will try to make you a source of profit by their fabrications; but for a long time past their sentence has not been standing idle, nor their ruin slumbering.
4 Nantele Ongolobhe sagabhaleshile atumi bhabhatejila nate abhatajile hwilongo napinye amanyolo paka olozipawaibhezela. (Tartaroō g5020)
Remember, God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them down to Tartarus, and consigned them to caverns of darkness, to be kept under guard for judgment. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Nantele Ongolobhe sagaijimbile esi yemade nantele abhashele o Nuhu, yakwiziwe lyoli pamonamwa saba, esiku zyazye bhalile alesheye avulungwemsi yenjishe.
Nor did he spare the world of old; though he preserved Noah, the preacher of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought a flood on the godless world.
6 Ungolobhe ilojile esi eya Sodoma nahu Gomola nabhe lilota nanajishe elyoliwe fano hwabhibhi hwisiku lyalihwenza.
He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, holding them up as a warning to the godless of what was in store for them;
7 Nantele pahabhambile elyo ofwolele olutumtu owelyoli yali azugumiye nenjendo echatu bhasebhajenda mwidale elya Ngolobhe.
but he rescued righteous Lot, whose heart was vexed by the wanton licentiousness of his neighbors;
8 Nantele oyo omtu owe lyoli adelele anabho isiku hwi siku ayembaga omoyo gwakwe hwa gala gagonvwezye naga lole.
for, seeing and hearing what he did, as he lived his righteous life among them, day after day, Lot’s righteous soul was tortured by their wicked doings.
9 Hwega Ogosi amenye sadabhafwole abhatubhakwa husiku enzyema yemba aajimbilile humbibhi husiku zyamwisho.
The Lord, therefore, knows how to deliver the pious from temptation, and to keep the wicked, who are even now suffering punishment, in readiness for ‘the day of judgment’ –
10 Hwa huje lyoli hwa bahala bhabah hwendelera akhale mu nyonyo zye bele ogu nashentde olukajizyo. Abhandu bhabhali eshibhali nojimvi hu nsebho zyabho, saga bhahogopa abhalije atundumu.
especially those who, following the promptings of their lower nature, indulge their polluting passions and despise all control. Audacious and self-willed, they feel no awe of the celestial beings, maligning them,
11 Ngashele antumi bhaline hani nikhone ashile abhantu, nantele saga bhanda wezye aleteolonzi ngwabho hwagosi.
even where angels, though excelling them in strength and power, do not bring against them a malignant charge before the Lord.
12 Nantele ezi ehanu zyasaga zili ne njere bhalengenywe hulwinzo lwa khatwe nagogwe. Bhavwa lala humposhezi zyembibhi zyabho.
These people, however, like animals without reason, intended by nature to be caught and killed – these people, I say, malign those of whom they know nothing, and will assuredly perish through their own corruption,
13 Osanya wonti olenda humbimbi. Bhamemire obhibhi nembibhi. Osongwa embibhi ezilenga pabha shimili nawe.
suffering themselves, as the penalty for the suffering that they have inflicted. They think that pleasure consists in the self-indulgence of the moment. They are a stain and a disgrace, indulging, as they do, in their wanton revelry, even while joining you at your feasts.
14 Amaso gabho gakwinshilwe no umalaya; sebhaya abhombe embibhi. Bhabhakhopela nabha gwisye abhoziwa bhasaga bhakhomile humbimbi. Bhali namoyo gaga memile enyonyo bhana bhabha yejerwe.
They have eyes only for adulteresses, eyes never tired of sin; they entice weak souls; their minds are trained to covet; they live under a curse.
15 Bhalileshile idala lyelyoli. Bhatejire nafwate idala lya Balaam omwana wa Beori, wasongwelwe apate emposhezi zye mbibhi.
Leaving the straight road, they have gone astray and followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who set his heart on the reward for wrongdoing,
16 Antele alajilwe hwidala lye mbimbi zyakwe edogobhi yasaga eyanga ayanjile hwizu lya bhantu azijile akubha...
but was rebuked for his offense. A dumb animal spoke with a human voice, and checked the prophet’s madness.
17 Abhantu ebha sawa ne ndobhe zyasaga zilinamenzo. Nashi amabhengo gaga sogora nehara, ibhengo igosi libhe shelwe hwa bhene. (questioned)
These people are like springs without water, or mists driven before a gale; and for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.
18 Ayanga nahwi vune bhabha gwisya abhantu hunyonyo zye bele, bhabha khopela abhantu bhabhalenga ashembele bhala bhabhadela mumbibhi.
With boastful and foolish talk, they appeal to the passions of people’s lower nature, and, by their profligacy, entice those who are just escaping from the people who live such misguided lives.
19 Bhabha lajizya abhantu owene nantele abhenele bhatu bhatumwe bhe embibhi zyembibhi. Nantele amuntu abhombwe hwa hwa haha hutabhala.
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to corrupt habits; for a person is the slave of anything to which they give way.
20 Umwene wajefwa nobhibhi wensi otumileenjere zyagosi wetu OYesu Kilisti, nantele aweyera obhibhi owe nantele, ehali yakwe abhe mbibhi ashe ye hale.
If, after having escaped the polluting influences of the world, through knowing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, people are again entangled in them, and give way to them, their last state has become worse than their first.
21 Ehwanzi wa aje abhantu ebho enga saga bhamnye idala lye lyoli nantele nazileshe ensomboenyinza zyabhapewilwe.
It would, indeed, have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn away from the holy command delivered to them.
22 Enjere ezi nelyoli hwabhene. “embwa ewe yela amatapisi gakwe. Engolobhe yeyozirwe ewiyanantere mmatoto.”
In their case is seen the truth of the proverb – ‘A dog returns to what it has vomited’ and ‘A sow after washing to her wallowing-place in the mud.’
