Mga Huwad na Guro
2 Noong una, may mga huwad na propetang lumitaw sa Israel. Gayundin naman, may darating sa gitna ninyo na mga huwad na guro. Lihim silang magtuturo ng mga maling aral na ang dulot ay kapahamakan. Pati ang Panginoong tumubos sa kanila ay kanilang itatakwil, kaya't di magtatagal at sila'y mapapahamak. 2 At marami silang mahihikayat na sumunod sa kanilang kahalayan; at dahil dito, pati ang daan ng katotohanan ay malalapastangan. 3 Sa kanilang kasakiman, lilinlangin nila kayo sa pamamagitan ng kanilang aral na kathang-isip lamang. Matagal nang nakahanda ang hatol sa kanila at ang pupuksa sa kanila ay hindi natutulog.
4 Hindi pinatawad ng Diyos ang mga anghel na nagkasala. Sila'y itinapon sa impiyerno[a] kung saan sila'y iginapos sa kadiliman upang doon hintayin ang Araw ng Paghuhukom. 5 Dahil(A) sa kasalanan ng tao noong unang panahon, ginunaw ng Diyos ang daigdig sa pamamagitan ng baha. Wala siyang iniligtas maliban kay Noe na nangaral tungkol sa matuwid na pamumuhay, at ang pito niyang kasama. 6 Sinumpa(B) [at tinupok][b] ng Diyos ang mga lungsod ng Sodoma at Gomorra upang maging babala sa masasama tungkol sa kanilang kasasapitan. 7 Ngunit(C) iniligtas ng Diyos si Lot, isang taong matuwid, na lubhang nabagabag ng mga kahalayang ginagawa ng masasama noong panahon niya. 8 Naghirap ang kalooban ng matuwid na taong ito sa kasamaang nasasaksihan niya araw-araw habang siya'y nakatira doon. 9 Kaya, alam ng Panginoon kung paano ililigtas mula sa mga pagsubok ang mga tapat sa kanya, at kung paano paparusahan ang masasama hanggang sa araw na sila'y hatulan, 10 lalo na ang sumusunod sa mahahalay na pagnanasa ng katawan at ayaw kumilala sa maykapangyarihan.
Pangahas at mapagmataas ang mga huwad na gurong ito. Wala silang pakundangan sa mga tagalangit, at sa halip ay nilalapastangan pa nila ang mga ito. 11 Samantalang ang mga anghel na higit na malakas at makapangyarihan ay hindi gumamit ng panlalait sa kanilang paghaharap sa Panginoon ng sakdal laban sa mga ito. 12 Ang mga taong ito'y parang mga hayop na walang isip at ipinanganak upang hulihin at patayin. Kinakalaban nila ang mga bagay na hindi nila nauunawaan, kaya't papatayin din sila tulad ng maiilap na hayop. 13 Pahihirapan sila gaya ng pagpapahirap nila sa iba. Kaligayahan na nila ang hayagang magbigay kasiyahan sa kanilang pagnanasa. Dumadalo pa naman sila sa inyong salu-salo, ngunit kahiya-hiya at kasiraang-puri ang kanilang ginagawa; ikinatutuwa nilang kayo'y kanilang nalilinlang. 14 Wala silang hinahanap kundi ang pagkakataong makiapid; wala silang sawa sa paggawa ng kasalanan. Itinutulak pa nila sa pagkakasala ang mahihina. Sila'y mga sakim at sila'y isinumpa! 15 Lumihis(D) sila sa matuwid na landas at naligaw. Tinularan nila si Balaam, anak ni Beor[c] na nagpahalaga sa salapi kapalit ng paggawa niya ng masama. 16 Dahil sa kanyang kasalanan, siya'y sinumbatan ng kanyang asno na nagsalitang parang tao upang siya'y sawayin sa kanyang kabaliwan.
17 Ang katulad ng mga huwad na gurong ito ay mga batis na walang tubig, at ulap na itinataboy ng malakas na hangin. Inilaan na ng Diyos para sa kanila ang napakalalim at napakadilim na lugar. 18 Sa pamamagitan ng mayayabang na pananalita na panay kahangalan lamang, ginagamit nila ang pagnanasa ng laman upang maakit sa kahalayan ang mga nagsisimula pa lamang lumayo sa mga taong namumuhay nang may kalikuan. 19 Ipinapangako nila ang kalayaan, subalit sila mismo ay alipin ng kasamaan, sapagkat ang tao ay alipin ng anumang dumadaig sa kanya. 20 Sapagkat kung nakatakas na sa kasamaan ng sanlibutan ang mga taong kumilala kay Jesu-Cristo na Panginoon at Tagapagligtas, ngunit muli silang maakit sa dating masamang gawain at tuluyang mahulog dito, ang magiging kalagayan nila ay masahol pa sa dati. 21 Mabuti pang hindi na nila nalaman ang daang matuwid, kaysa pagkatapos malaman ang banal na utos na itinuro sa kanila ay talikuran nila ito. 22 Ang(E) nangyari sa kanila ay nagpapatunay na totoo ang mga kasabihang:
“Ang aso pagkatapos sumuka
ay muling kinakain ang nailuwa na,”
at,
“Ang baboy na pinaliguan
ay bumabalik sa putikan.”

The Rise and Fall of the False Teachers
2 But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will bring in destructive heresies[a], even denying the Master who bought them, thus[b] bringing on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their licentious ways, because of whom the way of truth will be reviled. 3 And in greediness they will exploit you with false words, whose condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but held them captive in Tartarus with chains of darkness and handed them over to be kept for judgment, 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a proclaimer of righteousness, and seven others[c] when he[d] brought a flood on the world of the ungodly, 6 and condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes, having appointed them as an example for those who are going to be ungodly, 7 and rescued righteous Lot, worn down by the way of life of lawless persons in licentiousness 8 (for that righteous man, as he[e] lived among them day after day, was tormenting his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he was seeing and hearing), 9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to reserve the unrighteous to be punished at[f] the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who go after the flesh in defiling lust[g] and who despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they do not tremble in awe as they[h] blaspheme majestic beings, 11 whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not bring against them a demeaning judgment.[i] 12 But these persons, like irrational animals born only with natural instincts for capture and killing, blaspheming about things[j] they do not understand, in their destruction will also be destroyed, 13 being harmed as the wages of unrighteousness. Considering reveling in the daytime a pleasure, they are stains and blemishes, carousing in their deceitful pleasures when they[k] feast together with you, 14 having eyes full of desire for an adulteress and unceasing from sin, enticing unstable persons, and[l] having hearts trained for greediness. Accursed children! 15 By[m] leaving the straight path, they have gone astray, because they[n] followed the way of Balaam the son of Bosor,[o] who loved the wages of unrighteousness, 16 but received a rebuke for his own lawlessness: a speechless donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the prophet’s madness[p].
17 These people are waterless springs and mists driven by a hurricane, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved. 18 For by speaking high-sounding but empty words[q], they entice with desires of the flesh and with licentiousness those who are scarcely escaping from those who live in error, 19 promising them freedom although they[r] themselves are slaves of depravity. For to whatever someone succumbs, by this he is also[s] enslaved. 20 For if, after they[t] have escaped from the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord[u] and Savior Jesus Christ, and they are again entangled in these things and succumb to them, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them. 22 The statement of the true proverb has happened to them, “A dog returns to its own vomit,”[v] and “A sow, after[w] washing herself, returns[x] to wallowing in the mud.”[y]
