2 Petro 2
1 Atorɔ adiyifoɔ kɔɔ tetefoɔ no mu, na saa ara nso na atorɔ adiyifoɔ bɛba mo mu ara ne no. Wɔbɛkyerɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne a nokorɛ nni mu na wɔapa Owura a ɔgyee wɔn no, na ɛnam so ama ɔsɛeɛ aba wɔn so prɛko pɛ.
And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,
2 Nnipa bebree bɛfa akwammɔne so na ɛsiane deɛ wɔyɛ no enti, nnipa bɛkasa atia nokorɛ ɛkwan no.
and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of,
3 Saa atorɔ adiyifoɔ yi nam wɔn sikanibereɛ so bɛto anansesɛm akyerɛ mo de apɛ mo ho mfasoɔ. Wɔn ɔtemmufoɔ siesiee ne ho akyɛre, na saa ara nso na wɔn ɔsɛefoɔ no nso asɔre agyina.
and in covetousness, with moulded words, of you they shall make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction doth not slumber.
4 Onyankopɔn amfa abɔfoɔ a wɔyɛɛ bɔne no ho ankyɛre wɔn. Ɔtoo wɔn guu asaman sum mu baabi guu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, na ɛhɔ na wɔretwɛn Atemmuo da no. (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God messengers who sinned did not spare, but with chains of thick gloom, having cast [them] down to Tartarus, did deliver [them] to judgment, having been reserved, (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Onyankopɔn amma tete ewiase no amfa ne ho anni. Ɔmaa nsuyire baa wɔn a wɔannye asɛm no anni no so. Wɔn a ɔgyee wɔn nkwa no ne Noa a ɔkaa tenenee ho asɛm no ne nnipa baason bi.
and the old world did not spare, but the eighth person, Noah, of righteousness a preacher, did keep, a flood on the world of the impious having brought,
6 Onyankopɔn buu Sodom ne Gomora fɔ de ogya sɛee wɔn, de bɔɔ wɔn a wɔnnye Onyankopɔn nni no kɔkɔ.
and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah having turned to ashes, with an overthrow did condemn, an example to those about to be impious having set [them];
7 Ɔgyee Lot a ɔyɛ ɔteneneeni no firii nnipa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nsam.
and righteous Lot, worn down by the conduct in lasciviousness of the impious, He did rescue,
8 Na saa ɔteneneeni no te saa nnipa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no mu na afideɛ a na saa nnipa no yɛ no adekyeeɛ ne adesaeɛ no ha no yie.
for in seeing and hearing, the righteous man, dwelling among them, day by day the righteous soul with unlawful works was harassing.
9 Yei kyerɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn nim ɛkwan a ɔfa so gye nʼakyidifoɔ firi ɔhaw mu, ɛnna ɔnim ɛkwan a ɔfa so kora nnipa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ, twe wɔn aso de twɛn Atemmuo da no,
The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,
10 ne titire no, wɔn a wɔdi wɔn honam akɔnnɔ akyi na wɔpa Onyankopɔn tumi no. Saa atorɔ akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ yi wɔ akokoɔduru na wɔmmu animuonyamfoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔte wɔn atua.
and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous, self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil of,
11 Na abɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ ahoɔden ne tumi sene saa atorɔ akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ yi mpo nka nsɛmmɔne mmu wɔn atɛn wɔ Awurade anim.
whereas messengers, in strength and power being greater, do not bear against them before the Lord an evil speaking judgment;
12 Nanso, saa nnipa yi yɛ wɔn nneɛma te sɛ mmoa a wonni adwene, wɔwo wɔn sɛ wɔnkye wɔn nku wɔn. Wɔgu nneɛma biara a wɔnte aseɛ no ho fi. Wɔbɛsɛe wɔn sɛ mmoa.
and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed — in what things they are ignorant of, speaking evil — in their destruction shall be destroyed,
13 Ɔhaw a wɔma ɛbaeɛ no, wɔbɛtua wɔn so ka. Deɛ wɔn ani gye ho ne sɛ wɔbɛyɛ biribiara awia ketee a ɛbɛyɛ ama wɔn honam akɔnnɔ. Sɛ wɔne mo to nsa didi a, ɛgu wɔn anim ase. Ɛfiri sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no na wɔka nnaadaasɛm.
about to receive a reward of unrighteousness, pleasures counting the luxury in the day, spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their deceits, feasting with you,
14 Wɔnhwehwɛ hwee sɛ mmaa adwamanfoɔ ɛfiri sɛ, wɔpɛ sɛ daa wɔyɛ bɔne. Wɔdaadaa nnipa a wɔyɛ mmerɛ kɔ bɔne mu. Wɔayɛn wɔn akoma ama anibereɛ. Wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn nnome ase.
having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having an heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of a curse,
15 Wɔamane afiri ɛkwan tee no so enti wɔayera. Wɔafa ɛkwan a Beor ba Bileam a ne sika a ɔnya de yɛ bɔne no kɔfaa so no so.
having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the [son] of Bosor, who a reward of unrighteousness did love,
16 Yei maa wɔkaa nʼanim wɔ ne bɔne no ho. Nʼafunumu de onipa nne kasaeɛ de sii odiyifoɔ no abɔdamsɛm no ho ɛkwan.
and had a rebuke of his own iniquity — a dumb ass, in man's voice having spoken, did forbid the madness of the prophet.
17 Saa nnipa yi te sɛ asutire a awe anaasɛ omununkum a mframa bɔ no. Onyankopɔn de wɔn asie esum kabii mu wɔ baabi. (questioned)
These are wells without water, and clouds by a tempest driven, to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept; (questioned)
18 Wɔka ahantansɛm ne nkwaseasɛm na wɔnam wɔn honam akɔnnɔ ho nnaadaa so twetwe wɔn a wɔatwe wɔn ho afiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ho.
for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh — lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,
19 Wɔhyɛ wɔn ahofadie ho bɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔn ankasa wɔyɛ bɔne nkoa ɛfiri sɛ, onipa yɛ akoa ma biribiara a ɛdi no so.
liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,
20 Na sɛ onipa sua yɛn Awurade ne yɛn Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo ho asɛm, na ɔnam so dwane firi ewiase yi mu akwammɔne so, na akyire no ɔkɔ bɔne mu bio ma ɔdane bɔne akoa a, ɛnneɛ ɛyɛ hu sene ne kane no.
for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them hath the last things worse than the first,
21 Sɛ wɔnnim Kristo koraa a, anka ɛyɛ ma wɔn sene sɛ wɔbɛsua ne ho nsɛm na afei wɔbɛdane wɔn akyi akyerɛ mmara Kronkron a wɔde maa wɔn no.
for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of the righteousness, than having acknowledged [it], to turn back from the holy command delivered to them,
22 Deɛ ɛbaa wɔn so no kyerɛ sɛ, saa ɛbɛ yi yɛ nokorɛ. “Ɔkraman sane kɔtafere ne fe ɛnna ɔprako a wɔadware no no nso kɔyantam wɔ atɛkyɛ mu.”
and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; 'A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, 'A sow having bathed herself — to rolling in mire.'
