2 Petro 2
1 Asi kwakanga kuna vaprofita venhema pakati pavanhu, sezvavachavapowo vadzidzisi venhema pakati penyu. Vachazivisa pakavanda dzidziso dzinoparadza, vachiramba kunyange naiye Ishe tenzi akavatenga, vachiuyisa pamusoro pavo kuparadzwa kunokurumidza.
But in the world, there have been also false prophets, as there will likewise be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, denying the Lord that bought them; thus bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Vazhinji vachatevera nzira dzavo dzinonyadzisa uye nzira yezvokwadi ichazvidzwa.
And many will go after their profaneness; on account of whom, the way of truth will be reproached.
3 Mukukara kwavo, vadzidzisi ava vachakunyengerai namashoko amanomano. Kutongwa kwavo kwakanguva kwavamirira, uye kuparadzwa kwavo hakukotsiri.
And, in the cupidity of raving words, they will make merchandise of you: whose judgment, of a long time, is not idle; and their destruction slumbereth not.
4 Nokuti kana Mwari asina kuregerera vatumwa pavakatadza, asi akavatumira kugehena, achivaisa mugomba rerima kuti vachengeterwe kutongwa; (Tartaroō g5020)
For, if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to the infernal regions in chains of darkness, and delivered them up to be kept unto the judgment of torture, (Tartaroō g5020)
5 kana asina kuregerera nyika yakare paakauyisa mafashamu pavanhu vayo vakanga vasingatyi Mwari, asi akadzivirira Noa, muparidzi wokururama, navamwewo vanomwe;
and spared not the former world, but preserved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the wicked;
6 kana akatonga maguta eSodhomu neGomora nokuapisa nomoto kusvikira ava dota, uye akaaita muenzaniso wezvichaitika kuna vasingadi Mwari;
and burned up the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them by an overthrow, making them a demonstration to the wicked who should come after them;
7 uye kana akanunura Roti, murume akarurama, akatambudzika nokuda kwoupenyu hwetsvina hwavanhu vakanga vakatsauka
and also delivered righteous Lot, who was tormented with the filthy conduct of the lawless;
8 (nokuti murume uyu akarurama, agere pakati pavo zuva nezuva, akatambudzwa mumwoyo wake wakarurama nezviito zvavasakurama zvaakaona nezvaakanzwa),
for that upright man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing from day to day, was distressed in his righteous soul by their lawless deeds;
9 kana zvakadaro, ipapo Ishe anoziva kuti anonunura sei vanhu vake vanotya Mwari kubva pamiedzo uye kuti anobata sei vasakarurama kuti varangwe kusvikira pazuva rokutongwa.
the Lord knoweth how to rescue from afflictions those who fear him; and he will reserve the wicked for the day of judgment to be tormented,
10 Izvozvo zvinoitwa navaya vanotevera kuchiva kwakaora kwomunhu wenyama uye vachizvidza vakuru. Vanhu ava havatyi kutuka zvisikwa zvokudenga, vakashinga uye vanozvikudza;
and especially them who go after the flesh in the lusts of pollution, and despise government. Daring and arrogant, they shudder not with awe while they blaspheme;
11 asi kunyange vatumwa, kunyange zvazvo vakasimba kwazvo uye vane simba guru, havauyi pamberi paIshe vachituka nokupomera mhosva zvakadai kuzvisikwa izvi.
whereas angels, greater than they in might and valor, bring not against them a reproachful denunciation.
12 Asi vanhu ava vanongomhura panyaya dzavasinganzwisisi. Vakaita semhuka dzisina murangariro, zvisikwa zvisingashanduki papfungwa, zvakangoberekerwa kubatwa nokuparadzwa, uye semhuka idzodzo naivowo vachaparara.
But these, like the dumb beasts that by nature are for slaughter and corruption, while reviling the things they know not, will perish in their own corruption;
13 Vacharipirwa nokurwadziswa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavakaita. Mukufunga kwavo vanoti kutamba masikati ndizvo zvinofadza. Ivo ndivo makwapa namavara, vanofara mune zvinovagutsa pavanenge vachidya nemi.
they being persons with whom iniquity is the reward of iniquity, and by them rioting in the daytime is accounted delightful; defiled and full of spots are they, indulging themselves at their ease, while they give themselves up to pleasure;
14 Vane meso azere upombwe, havatongoregi kutadza; vanonyengera vasina mano; uye inyanzvi pakukara, rudzi rwakatukwa!
having eyes that are full of adultery, and sins that never end; seducing unstable souls; and having a heart exercised in cupidity; children of malediction:
15 Vakasiya nzira yakarurama vakatsauka kuti vatevere nzira yaBharamu mwanakomana waBheori, akada mubayiro wokusarurama.
and, having left the way of rectitude, they have wandered and gone in the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of iniquity,
16 Asi akatsiurwa nembongoro nokuda kwokuita kwake zvakaipa, mhuka isina mutauro yakataura nenzwi romunhu uye ikadzivisa kupenga kwomuprofita.
and who had for the reprover of his transgression a dumb ass, which, speaking with the speech of men, rebuked the madness of the prophet.
17 Ava vanhu matsime asina mvura uye imhute inosundwa nemhepo. Vakachengeterwa rima guru.
These are wells without water, clouds driven by a tempest, persons for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness.
18 Nokuti vanotaura zvisina maturo, mashoko okuzvikudza, uye nokuchiva kwenyama yavo, vanobata kumeso vanhu vaya vari kutiza kubva kuna vanogara mukutsauka.
For, while they utter astonishing vanity, they seduce, with obscene lusts of the flesh, them who have almost abandoned these that walk in error.
19 Vanovavimbisa kusununguka, asi ivo pachavo vari varanda vokuora, nokuti munhu anoitwa muranda nechinhu chipi zvacho chinenge chamukunda.
And they promise them liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for, by whatever thing a man is vanquished, to that is he enslaved.
20 Kana vakatiza kuora kwenyika ino nokuda kwokuziva Ishe wedu noMuponesi Jesu Kristu uye vakasungwazve mazviri uye vakundwa nazvo, vaipa pakupedzisira kupfuura zvavakanga vari pakutanga.
For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, they become again involved in the same, and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former.
21 Zvaiva nani kwavari kuti dai vasina kumboziva havo nzira yokururama, pano kuti vaizive, ipapo vagozofuratira murayiro mutsvene wakanga wapiwa kwavari.
For it would have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was delivered to them.
22 Tsumo iyi ndeyechokwadi kwavari inoti, “Imbwa yakadzokera kumarutsi ayo,” uye “Nguruve yakanga yashambidzwa yadzokerazve kunoumburuka mumatope.”
But the true proverb hath happened to them: the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
