2 Petro 2
1 Atoro adiyifo kɔɔ tetefo no mu, na saa ara nso na atoro adiyifo bɛba mo mu ara ne no. Wɔbɛma nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne a nokware nni mu na wɔapa Owura a ogyee wɔn no, na ɛnam so ama ɔsɛe aba wɔn so prɛko pɛ.
But there arose false prophets also among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will stealthily bring in destructive factions, even denying the Lord that bought them; bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Nnipa bebree bɛfa akwammɔne so na esiane nea wɔyɛ no nti, nnipa bɛkasa atia nokware kwan no.
And many will follow their dissolute ways, by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of;
3 Saa atoro adiyifo yi nam wɔn sikanibere so bɛto anansesɛm akyerɛ mo de apɛ mo so mfaso. Wɔn temmufo siesiee ne ho akyɛ, na saa ara nso na wɔn sɛefo no nso asɔre agyina.
and in covetousness will they with feigned words make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment long ago ordained lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
4 Onyankopɔn amfa abɔfo a wɔyɛɛ bɔne no ho ankyɛ wɔn. Ɔtow wɔn guu asaman sum mu baabi, guu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, na ɛhɔ na wɔretwɛn atemmu no. (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them over to chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Onyankopɔn amma tete wiase no amfa ne ho anni. Ɔmaa nsuyiri baa wɔn a na wonsuro Onyankopɔn no so. Wɔn a ogyee wɔn nkwa no ne Noa a ɔkaa trenee ho asɛm no ne nnipa baason bi.
and spared not the old world, but saved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 Onyankopɔn buu Sodom ne Gomora fɔ de ogya sɛee wɔn, de bɔɔ wɔn a wonsuro Onyankopɔn no kɔkɔ.
and turning into ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, condemned them to overthrow, making them an example for those who in after time should live ungodly;
7 Ogyee Lot a ɔyɛ ɔtreneeni no fii nnipa nnebɔneyɛfo nsam.
and delivered righteous Lot, distressed by the lewd conduct of the lawless men;
8 Na saa ɔtreneeni no te saa nnipa nnebɔneyɛfo no mu; na afide a na saa nnipa no yɛ no adekyee ne adesae no haw no yiye.
(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing tormented his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds; )
9 Sɛ ɛte saa de a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Awurade nim ɔkwan a ɔfa so gye nʼakyidifo fi ɔhaw mu, na onim ɔkwan a ɔfa so kora nnipa nnebɔneyɛfo, twe wɔn aso de twɛn atemmuda no.
the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous under punishment to the day of judgment;
10 Ne titiriw no, eyi fa wɔn a wodi wɔn honam akɔnnɔ akyi na wɔpa Onyankopɔn tumi no ho. Saa atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo yi wɔ akokoduru na wommu anuonyamfo a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no, efisɛ wonsuro sɛ wɔyaw wɔn.
but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise dominion. Presumptuous, self-willed, they are not afraid to rail at dignities;
11 Na abɔfo a wɔwɔ ahoɔden ne tumi sen saa atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo yi mpo nka nsɛmmɔne mmu wɔn atɛn wɔ Awurade anim.
whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not against them a railing accusation;
12 Nanso saa nnipa yi yɛ wɔn nneɛma te sɛ mmoa a wunni adwene, wɔwo wɔn sɛ wɔnkyere wɔn nkum wɔn. Wogu nneɛma biara a wɔnte ase no ho fi. Wɔbɛsɛe wɔn sɛ mmoa.
but these, as brute beasts, by nature born to be taken and destroyed, railing at things which they understand not, shall even perish in their own corruption,
13 Wobetua wɔn ɔhaw a wɔma ɛbaa no so ka. Nea wɔn ani gye ho ne sɛ wɔbɛyɛ biribiara a eye ma wɔn honam akɔnnɔ no awia ketee. Sɛ wɔne mo to nsa didi a, egu wɔn anim ase. Efisɛ saa bere no na wɔka nnaadaasɛm.
receiving the wages of unrighteousness. Counting it pleasure to riot in the day-time, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits while they feast with you,
14 Wɔnhwehwɛ hwee sɛ mmea nguamanfo efisɛ wɔpɛ sɛ daa wɔyɛ bɔne. Wɔdaadaa nnipa a wɔyɛ mmerɛw kɔ bɔne mu. Wɔayɛn wɔn koma ama anibere. Wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn nnome ase.
having eyes full of an adulteress, and that cannot cease from sin, alluring unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, children of a curse,
15 Wɔaman afi ɔkwan tee no so enti wɔayera. Wɔafa ɔkwan a Beor ba Bileam a ɔde ne sika a onya no yɛ bɔne no kɔfaa so no so.
they have forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,
16 Eyi ma wɔkaa nʼanim wɔ ne bɔne no ho. Nʼafurum de onipa nne kasa de siw odiyifo no adammɔsɛm no ho kwan.
but was rebuked for his iniquity; the dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, restrained the madness of the prophet.
17 Saa nnipa yi te sɛ asuti a ayow anaasɛ omununkum a mframa bɔ no. Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie sum kabii mu wɔ baabi. (questioned)
These are wells without water, and mists driven by a tempest; for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.
18 Wɔka ahantansɛm ne nkwaseasɛm na wɔnam wɔn honam akɔnnɔ ho nnaadaa so twetwe wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afi nnebɔneyɛfo ho no.
For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they allure in the lusts of the flesh, by dissolute ways, such as were in some measure escaping from those who live in error;
19 Wɔhyɛ wɔn ahofadi ho bɔ wɔ bere a wɔn ankasa yɛ bɔne nkoa efisɛ onipa yɛ biribiara a edi no so no akoa.
promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage.
20 Na sɛ onipa sua yɛn Awurade ne yɛn Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo ho asɛm, na ɔnam so guan fi wiase yi mu akwammɔne so, na akyiri no ɔkɔ bɔne mu bio ma ɔdan bɔne akoa a, ɛno de ɛyɛ hu sen ne kan no.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is worse with them than the first.
21 Sɛ anka wonnim Kristo koraa a, anka eye ma wɔn sen sɛ wobesua ne ho nsɛm na afei wɔbɛdan wɔn akyi akyerɛ mmara Kronkron a wɔde maa wɔn no.
For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Nea ɛbaa wɔn so no kyerɛ sɛ, saa bɛ yi yɛ nokware. “Ɔkraman san kɔtaforo ne fe na prako a wɔaguare no no nso koguare wɔ dontori mu.”
It hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog returned to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
