2 Pedro 2
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
2 Nguni't may nagsilitaw din naman sa bayan na mga bulaang propeta, na gaya naman sa inyo'y magkakaroon ng mga bulaang guro, na mangagpapasok sa lihim ng mga makakapahamak na mga hiduwang pananampalataya, na itatatuwa pati ang Panginoon na bumili sa kanila, na mangagtataglay sa kanilang sarili ng madaling pagkapahamak.
2 At maraming magsisisunod sa kanilang mga gawang mahahalay; na dahil sa kanila ay pagsasalitaan ng masama ang daan ng katotohanan.
3 At sa kasakiman sa mga pakunwaring salita ay ipangangalakal kayo: na ang hatol nga sa kanila mula nang una ay hindi nagluluwat, at ang kanilang kapahamakan ay hindi nagugupiling.
4 Sapagka't kung ang Dios ay hindi nagpatawad sa mga anghel nang mangagkasala ang mga yaon, kundi sila'y ibinulid sa impierno, at kinulong sa mga hukay ng kadiliman, upang ilaan sa paghuhukom;
5 At ang dating sanglibutan ay hindi pinatawad, datapuwa't iningatan si Noe na tagapangaral ng katuwiran na kasama ng ibang pito pa, noong dalhin ang pagkagunaw sa sanglibutan ng masasama;
6 At pinarusahan niya ng pagkalipol ang mga bayan ng Sodoma at Gomorra na pinapaging abo, nang maging halimbawa sa mga magsisipamuhay na masama:
7 At iniligtas ang matuwid na si Lot, na lubhang nahahapis sa mahahalay na pamumuhay ng masasama:
8 (Sapagka't ang matuwid na ito na namamayang kasama nila, ay lubhang nahapis araw-araw ang kaniyang matuwid na kaluluwa sa pagkakita at pagkarinig niya, ng mga gawa nilang laban sa kautusan):
9 Ang Panginoon ay marunong magligtas ng mga banal, sa tukso at maglaan ng mga di matuwid sa ilalim ng kaparusahan hanggang sa araw ng paghuhukom;
10 Datapuwa't lalong-lalo na ng mga nagsisilakad ng ayon sa laman sa masamang pita ng karumihan, at nangapopoot sa pagkasakop. Mga pangahas, mapagsariling kalooban, sila'y hindi natatakot na magsialipusta sa mga pangulo:
11 Samantalang ang mga anghel, bagama't lalong dakila ang lakas at kapangyarihan, ay hindi nagtataglay ng paghatol na may alipusta laban sa kanila sa harapan ng Panginoon.
12 Datapuwa't ang mga ito, na gaya ng mga kinapal na walang bait, na ipinanganak na talagang mga hayop upang hulihin at lipulin, na nagsisialipusta sa mga bagay na hindi nila nalalaman ay walang pagsalang lilipulin sa kanila ring pagkalipol.
13 Na nangagbabata ng masama na kabayaran ng gawang masama; palibhasa'y inaari nilang isang kaligayahan ang magpakalayaw kung araw, mga dungis at kapintasan, na nangagpapakalayaw sa kanilang mga daya, samantalang sila'y nangakikipagpiging sa inyo;
14 Na may mga matang puspos ng pangangalunya, at hindi maaaring maglikat sa pagkakasala; na umaakit sa mga kaluluwang walang tiyaga; na may pusong sanay sa kasakiman; mga anak ng paglait,
15 Na pagkaalis sa daang matuwid ay nangaligaw sila, palibhasa'y nagsisunod sa daan ni Balaam na anak ni Beor, na nagibig ng kabayaran ng gawang masama;
16 Datapuwa't siya'y sinasaway dahil sa kaniyang sariling pagsalangsang: na isang asnong pipi ay nangusap ng tinig ng tao at pinigil ang kaululan ng propeta.
17 Ang mga ito'y mga bukal na walang tubig, mga ulap na tinatangay ng unos; na sa kanila'y itinaan ang kapusikitan ng kadiliman;
18 Sapagka't, sa pananalita ng mga kapalaluan na walang kabuluhan, ay umaakit sila sa masasamang pita ng laman, sa pamamagitan ng kalibugan, doon sa nagsisitakas sa nangamumuhay sa kamalian;
19 Na pinangangakuan ng kalayaan, samantalang sila'y mga alipin ng kabulukan; sapagka't ang nadaig ninoman ay naging alipin din naman niyaon.
20 Sapagka't kung, pagkatapos na sila'y makatakas sa mga pagkahawa sa sanglibutan sa pamamagitan ng pagkakilala sa Panginoon at Tagapagligtas na si Jesucristo, ay muling mahalubiluhan at madaig niyaon, ay lalong sumasama ang huling kalagayan nila kay sa nang una.
21 Sapagka't magaling pa sa kanila ang hindi nakakilala ng daan ng katuwiran, kay sa, pagkatapos na makakilala ito ay tumalikod sa banal na utos na ibinigay sa kanila.
22 Nangyari sa kanila ang ayon sa kawikaang tunay, Nagbabalik na muli ang aso sa kaniyang sariling suka, at sa paglulubalob sa pusali ang babaing baboy na nahugasan.
2 Peter 2
King James Version
2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 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 latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter 2
New International Version
False Teachers and Their Destruction
2 But there were also false prophets(A) among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.(B) They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord(C) who bought them(D)—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct(E) and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed(F) these teachers will exploit you(G) with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned,(H) but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment;(I) 5 if he did not spare the ancient world(J) when he brought the flood on its ungodly people,(K) but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;(L) 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes,(M) and made them an example(N) of what is going to happen to the ungodly;(O) 7 and if he rescued Lot,(P) a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless(Q) 8 (for that righteous man,(R) living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials(S) and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.(T) 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(U) of the flesh[c] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(V) 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[d] the Lord.(W) 12 But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(X)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(Y) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[e](Z) 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce(AA) the unstable;(AB) they are experts in greed(AC)—an accursed brood!(AD) 15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(AE) son of Bezer,[f] who loved the wages of wickedness. 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.(AF)
17 These people are springs without water(AG) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(AH) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(AI) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(AJ) from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”(AK) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing(AL) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ(AM) and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.(AN) 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.(AO) 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”[g](AP) and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
