2 Pedro 2
1 May mga bulaang propeta na nagpunta sa mga Israelita at may mga bulaang guro ang pupunta sa inyo. Palihim silang magdadala ng mga mapanirang maling pananampalataya at itatatwa nila ang Panginoon na bumili sa kanila. Sila ay nagdadala ng kanilang agarang pagkawasak.
Just like there were false prophets among the [Israeli] people [long ago], so there will also be teachers who teach false [things] among you. They will enter [your congregations] without you realizing [what/who they are], and they will [spiritually] injure some people by what they teach. Specifically, these teachers will even deny [that] the Lord [Jesus died to] pay [for the guilt of our sins]. As a result, they will soon destroy themselves [spiritually, and God will also punish them].
2 Marami ang susunod sa kanilang kahalayan at sa pamamagitan nila malalapastanganan ang daan ng katotohanan.
And many [people] will behave in an extremely immoral manner, imitating the extremely immoral way [these teachers who teach false things] behave. As a result, [unbelievers] will (discredit the true message/say the true message is false).
3 Sa kanilang pagkagahaman ay sasamantalahin nila kayo sa pamamagitan ng mga mapanlinlang na mga salita. Naghihintay ang kahatulan laban sa kanila; ang kanilang pagkawasak ay darating.
Because [the teachers of false teaching] want a lot of things that other people have, [they think that] by telling you stories that they themselves have (made up/invented), they will get money from you. [God decided] long ago [that he would] punish them, and he has not fallen asleep [LIT]! [He will certainly destroy them]!
4 Sapagkat hindi kinaawaan ng Diyos ang mga anghel na nagkasala. Sa halip ay ipinasakamay niya ang mga ito sa Tartarus upang igapos sa mga tanikala hanggang sa paghuhukom. (Tartaroō g5020)
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 At hindi rin niya kinaawaan ang sinaunang mundo. Sa halip, itinira niya si Noe, ang mensahero ng katuwiran, kasama ang pitong iba pa, nang nagdala ng baha ang Diyos sa mundo ng mga hindi maka-diyos.
He also got rid of [LIT] [the people who lived in] [MTY] the world long ago. He saved [only] eight of them, including Noah, who was a righteous preacher. God saved them when he destroyed in a flood [all] (the ungodly people/the people whose lives were not pleasing to him) [who were living then].
6 At pinulbos ng Diyos ang mga lungsod ng Sodoma at Gomora at hinatulan sila ng pagkawasak, bilang halimbawa kung ano ang darating sa mga hindi maka-diyos.
He also condemned Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; that is, he destroyed them by burning them completely to ashes. [By doing that] he gave a warning to those who afterwards would live in (an ungodly way/a way that is displeasing to him).
7 Ngunit nang kaniyang ginawa iyan ay, iniligtas niya si Lot na matuwid, na lubos na nagdalamhati dahil sa mga maruming gawain ng mga taong lumalabag sa batas.
But he rescued [Abraham’s nephew], Lot, who was a righteous [man. Lot] was (greatly distressed/very sad) because the people [in Sodom] were doing very immoral things.
8 Dahil ang taong matuwid na iyon na araw-araw na naninirahan kasama nila ay pinahihirapan ang kaniyang matuwid na kaluluwa dahil sa nakita niya at narinig.
That righteous [man’s] soul (was tormented/suffered great agony) day after day because he saw and heard those wicked people behave in a very lawless/wicked [manner when he was] living among them.
9 Kung gayon, alam ng Panginoon kung paano iligtas ang mga taong maka-diyos mula sa mga pagsubok at kung paano parusahan ang mga taong hindi maka-diyos sa araw ng paghuhukom.
And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue (other godly people/people whose lives please him) from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve (ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]), [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
10 Ito ay totoo lalo na sa mga nagpapatuloy sa masasamang nasa ng laman at humahamak sa batas. Sila ay mapangahas at sumusunod sa sariling kalooban. Hindi sila natatakot na lapastanganin ang mga maluluwalhati.
[He will punish especially severely] those [ungodly teachers who teach false things] who do the things that their self-directed nature desires, things that (defile them/cause them to be completely impure). Those [teachers of false teachings] despise [all beings who] rule [over them]. 2 Peter 2:10d-16 Because [those teachers of false doctrines are] extremely arrogant/proud [DOU], they (are not afraid to insult/boldly speak evil about) glorious beings [in heaven] (OR, glorious/wonderful beings [who rule over people]).
11 Ang mga anghel ay may taglay na higit na lakas at kakayahan kaysa sa mga tao, ngunit hindi sila nagdala ng mapang-alipustang paghuhukom laban sa kanila sa Panginoon.
In contrast, angels do not insult [those teachers] when those teachers accuse the angels [of blasphemy] while the Lord God is watching, even though the angels are much more powerful [DOU] [than the teachers of false doctrines].
12 Ngunit ang mga walang isip na mga hayop na ito ay likas na ginawa para hulihin at wasakin. Hindi nila alam kung ano ang kanilang inaalipusta. Sila ay mawawasak.
Because those [teachers of false doctrines are] like animals that cannot think [as humans do] [DOU], they say evil things about [spiritual] things which they know nothing about. [As a result], God will destroy them like [people] destroy [animals], [animals] that are born only in order to be hunted and killed {in order that [people] should hunt and kill them}.
13 Sila ay masasaktan sa gantimpala ng kanilang mga maling gawain. Namumuhay sila sa kasiyahan sa araw. Sila ay mga dumi at bahid. Nagsasaya sila sa kanilang mga mapanlinlang na kasiyahan habang sila ay nakikipagdiwang sa inyo.
God will punish [those teachers] in return for the unrighteous actions/things that they have done. They even like (to carouse/to drink and revel noisily) in the daytime [as well as at night]. And as they indulge/enjoy themselves just like they want to while they are feasting with you, they cause you to become impure, [as] [MET] stains and blotches [DOU] [ruin a clean garment].
14 May mga mata sila na puno ng mga mapangalunyang babae; hindi sila kailanman nakuntento sa pagkakasala. Inuudyukan nila ang mga mahihinang kaluluwa sa pagkakamali at ang kanilang puso ay sinanay sa pag-iimbot, mga batang isinumpa.
They [want to commit] [MTY] adultery [with every woman] whom they look at. They never stop seeking opportunities to sin. They entice/persuade those who are [spiritually] unstable [to join them in doing the sinful things that they do]. [Because of] their ever-increasing (greed/desire to have more and more things), they are doomed [to eternal punishment].
15 Kanilang iniwan ang tamang daan. Naligaw sila at sinunod ang daan ni Balaam na anak ni Beor na nagnais na tumanggap ng kabayaran sa kawalang-katuwiran.
They have (rejected good moral standards/quit doing what everyone knows is right). They have imitated [what the prophet] Balaam, the son of Bosor, [did long ago]. He, [acting very] unrighteously, wanted [the enemies of the Jews] to pay him if he [asked God] ([to curse/to do bad thing to]) [the Jews].
16 Ngunit siya ay sinaway dahil sa kaniyang paglabag. Isang asno ang nagsalita sa tinig ng tao ang siyang tumapos sa kahibangan ng propeta.
But God rebuked him for having done that which was wrong [and for] behaving very foolishly. And even though donkeys do not speak, [God used] a donkey to hinder Balaam [by enabling it to] speak to him with a human voice.
17 Ang mga taong ito ay katulad ng mga bukal na walang tubig. Katulad sila ng mga ulap na tinatangay ng bagyo. May makapal na kadiliman ang sa kanila ay naghihintay.
These [teachers who each false things mislead/deceive people by promising what they cannot do], as [MET] dried-up springs [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect to get water from them]. They [mislead/deceive people] [MET] just like clouds that are blown along by strong winds [mislead/deceive people by causing them to expect rain, but no rain falls. Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
18 Nagsasalita sila ng mga bagay na pawang walang kabuluhan at kayabangan lamang. Inuudyukan nila ang mga tao sa pamamagitan ng pita ng laman. Inuudyukan nila ang mga taong sumusubok na tumakas mula sa maling pamumuhay.
By boasting proudly as they make speeches that are worthless, they entice people who have recently [become believers and] have stopped doing the things that wicked people do. Urged on by their self-directed nature, they entice them [into sin] by encouraging them to [do] evil things.
19 Nangangako sila ng kalayaan sa kanila ngunit sila ma'y alipin ng kasamaan. Sapagkat ang isang tao ay alipin ng kahit anong dumadaig sa kaniya.
[The false teachers] tell people that they are free [to do whatever they want to do, even though] they themselves are [like] slaves [MET] [because their own self-directed nature forces them to do] sinful things. [Think about these well-known words: “Whenever a person is controlled by something] {[something controls a person]}, [it is as though] that person has become a slave of what controls him.”
20 Sino mang makatakas sa karumihan ng mundo sa pamamagitan ng kaalaman ng Panginoon at Tagapagligtas na si Jesu-Cristo at bumalik muli sa ganoong karumihan, sila ay naging mas malala pa kaysa noong una.
Those [who teach false truths] learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, they stopped doing those things that (defile [people/cause people to become impure]) [spiritually]. Since they have begun to do [those evil things again], with the result that they are unable to stop doing them, they are in a worse condition than [they were in before they knew Jesus Christ].
21 Mas mabuti pang hindi nila nalaman ang daan ng katuwiran kaysa malaman ito at pagkatapos ay tumalikod sa banal na kautusang ibinigay sa kanila.
[Because God will severely punish them], it would have been better for them if they had never known what it means to live in a righteous way. It is too bad that although they knew [how to live in a righteous way], they stopped doing the things that God commanded people to do, the things that [were] taught to them ([by us apostles/by Christ]) {that ([we apostles/Christ]) taught to them}.
22 Ang kawikaang ito ay totoo para sa kanila: “Ang aso ay bumabalik sa sariling suka nito. Ang bagong paligong baboy ay bumabalik sa putik.”
[The way they are behaving again] is just like (the proverbs/what people often say): [They are like] dogs that return to [eat] their vomit, and [they are like] pigs that have been washed and then roll [again] in the mud.
