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.
False prophets came to the people, and false teachers will also come to you. They will secretly bring with them destructive heresies, and they will deny the master who bought them. They are bringing quick destruction upon themselves.
2 Nnipa bebree bɛfa akwammɔne so na esiane nea wɔyɛ no nti, nnipa bɛkasa atia nokware kwan no.
Many will follow their sensuality, and through them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
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.
In their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. For a long time their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
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 God did not spare the angels who sinned. Instead he handed them down to Tartarus to be kept in chains of lower darkness until the 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.
Also, he did not spare the ancient world. Instead, he preserved Noah, who was a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly.
6 Onyankopɔn buu Sodom ne Gomora fɔ de ogya sɛee wɔn, de bɔɔ wɔn a wonsuro Onyankopɔn no kɔkɔ.
God also reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes and condemned them to destruction, as an example of what is to happen to the ungodly.
7 Ogyee Lot a ɔyɛ ɔtreneeni no fii nnipa nnebɔneyɛfo nsam.
But as for the righteous Lot, he was oppressed by the sensual behavior of lawless people.
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.
So that righteous man, who was living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul because of what he saw and heard.
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 knows how to rescue godly men out of trials, and how to hold unrighteous men for punishment at 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.
This is especially true for those who continue in the corrupt desires of the flesh and who despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are not afraid to blaspheme the glorious ones.
11 Na abɔfo a wɔwɔ ahoɔden ne tumi sen saa atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo yi mpo nka nsɛmmɔne mmu wɔn atɛn wɔ Awurade anim.
Angels have greater strength and power, but they do not bring insulting judgments against them to the Lord.
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 unreasoning animals are naturally made for capture and destruction. They do not know what they insult. They will be destroyed.
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.
They will receive the reward of their wrongdoing. They think that luxury during the day is a pleasure. They are stains and blemishes. They enjoy their deceitful actions while they are feasting 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.
They have eyes full of adultery, they are never satisfied with sin. They entice unstable souls into wrongdoing, and they have their hearts trained in covetousness. They are cursed children!
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 abandoned the right way and have wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to receive payment for 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 he obtained a rebuke for his own transgression—a mute donkey speaking in a human voice stopped the prophet's insanity.
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 men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. The gloom of thick darkness is reserved for them.
18 Wɔka ahantansɛm ne nkwaseasɛm na wɔnam wɔn honam akɔnnɔ ho nnaadaa so twetwe wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afi nnebɔneyɛfo ho no.
They speak with vain arrogance. They entice people through the lusts of the flesh. They entice people who try to escape 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.
They promise freedom to them, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For a man is a slave to whatever overcomes him.
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.
If they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for 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.
It would have been better for them not to know the way of righteousness than to know it and turn away 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.”
This proverb is true for them: “A dog returns to its own vomit, and a washed pig returns to the mud.”
