Profetas y maestros falsos

2 Pero se levantaron falsos profetas(A) entre el pueblo, así como habrá también falsos maestros(B) entre ustedes(C), los cuales encubiertamente introducirán(D) herejías destructoras(E), negando incluso al Señor(F) que los compró[a](G), trayendo sobre sí una destrucción repentina. 2 Muchos seguirán su sensualidad(H), y por causa de ellos, el camino de la verdad(I) será blasfemado(J). 3 En su avaricia(K) los explotarán(L) con palabras falsas(M). El juicio de ellos, desde hace mucho tiempo no está ocioso(N), ni su perdición dormida.

4 Porque[b] Dios no perdonó a los ángeles cuando pecaron, sino que los arrojó al infierno(O) y los entregó a fosos de tinieblas(P), reservados para juicio. 5 Tampoco perdonó al mundo antiguo(Q), sino que guardó a Noé, un predicador de justicia, con otros siete[c](R), cuando trajo el diluvio sobre el mundo(S) de los impíos. 6 También condenó a la destrucción las ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra, reduciéndolas a cenizas(T), poniéndolas de ejemplo(U) para los que habrían de vivir impíamente después(V). 7 Además rescató al justo Lot(W), abrumado por la conducta sensual(X) de hombres libertinos[d](Y) 8 (porque ese justo(Z), por lo que veía y oía mientras vivía entre ellos, diariamente sentía su alma justa atormentada por las iniquidades de ellos).

9 El Señor, pues, sabe rescatar de tentación a los piadosos(AA), y reservar a los injustos bajo castigo para el día del juicio(AB), 10 especialmente a los que andan tras la carne en sus deseos corrompidos(AC) y desprecian la autoridad. Atrevidos y obstinados(AD), no tiemblan cuando blasfeman de las majestades angélicas[e](AE), 11 cuando los ángeles, que son mayores en fuerza y en potencia, no pronuncian juicio injurioso contra ellos delante del Señor(AF).

12 Pero estos, como animales irracionales(AG), nacidos como criaturas de instinto para ser capturados y destruidos[f](AH), blasfemando de lo que ignoran, serán también destruidos con la destrucción de esas criaturas[g], 13 sufriendo el mal como pago de su iniquidad(AI). Cuentan por deleite andar en placeres disolutos durante el día(AJ). Son manchas e inmundicias, deleitándose(AK) en sus engaños[h] mientras banquetean con ustedes(AL). 14 Tienen los ojos llenos de adulterio y nunca cesan de pecar. Seducen(AM) a las almas inestables(AN). Tienen un corazón ejercitado en la avaricia(AO); son hijos de maldición(AP).

15 Abandonando el camino recto, se han extraviado(AQ), siguiendo el camino de Balaam, el hijo de Beor(AR), quien amó el pago de la iniquidad(AS), 16 pero fue reprendido por su transgresión, pues una muda bestia de carga, hablando con voz humana, reprimió la locura del profeta(AT). 17 Estos son manantiales sin agua(AU), bruma impulsada por una tormenta, para quienes está reservada la oscuridad de las tinieblas(AV). 18 Pues hablando con arrogancia(AW) y vanidad(AX), seducen(AY) mediante deseos carnales, por sensualidad(AZ), a los que hace poco escaparon(BA) de los que viven en el error. 19 Les prometen libertad, mientras que ellos mismos son esclavos de la corrupción, pues uno es esclavo de aquello que lo ha vencido(BB).

20 Porque si después de haber escapado(BC) de las contaminaciones del mundo por el conocimiento(BD) de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo(BE), de nuevo son enredados en ellas(BF) y vencidos, su condición postrera viene a ser peor que la primera(BG). 21 Pues hubiera sido mejor para ellos no haber conocido el camino de la justicia, que habiéndolo conocido, apartarse(BH) del santo mandamiento(BI) que les fue dado(BJ). 22 Les ha sucedido a ellos según el proverbio verdadero: «El perro vuelve a su propio vómito(BK)», y: «La puerca lavada, vuelve a revolcarse en el cieno».

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]

2 Pietro 2
La Bibbia della Gioia

Chi sono i falsi maestri?

2 A quei tempi, però, ci furono anche dei falsi profeti, proprio come ci saranno anche fra voi dei falsi maestri, i quali, di nascosto, cercheranno di diffondere eresie che portano alla perdizione. Arriveranno perfino a rinnegare il Signore che li ha riscattati, ma faranno presto una fine terribile. 2 Molti li seguiranno e vivranno come loro una vita corrotta e, per colpa loro, Cristo e la vera fede saranno diffamati.

3 Questi maestri, per avidità di denaro, saranno pronti a dirvi qualsiasi cosa pur di sfruttarvi. Ma Dio li ha condannati già da tempo, e la loro rovina non tarderà a compiersi. 4 Dio infatti non risparmiò neppure gli angeli che avevano peccato, ma li gettò nellʼinferno, confinandoli in buie caverne, in attesa del giorno del giudizio. 5 E non risparmiò neppure quelli che vivevano nei tempi antichi, prima del diluvio, ad eccezione di Noè, il solo che insegnasse la giustizia di Dio; lo salvò insieme con altri sette della sua famiglia. Fu allora che il Signore mandò il diluvio sulla terra, facendo morire tutti gli uomini malvagi. 6 Più tardi, Dio condannò alla distruzione le città di Sòdoma e Gomorra, che furono ridotte in cenere, perché servissero come esempio di ciò che dovevano aspettarsi tutti gli uomini increduli e malvagi.

7-8 Contemporaneamente, però, il Signore salvò Lot che era un uomo giusto, rattristato dalla depravazione dei propri concittadini; lo salvò facendolo uscire da Sòdoma. Lot, infatti, era un bravʼuomo, che viveva in mezzo a quegli scellerati, assistendo giorno per giorno alle loro immoralità. 9 Ciò vuol dire che il Signore può liberare i giusti dalle tentazioni e tener dʼocchio, invece, i malvagi, per punirli nel giorno del giudizio finale. 10 Egli punirà soprattutto quelli che, per soddisfare le loro passioni vergognose, si abbandonano senza ritegno ai piaceri sessuali e disprezzano lʼautorità di Dio. Audaci e prepotenti, costoro non hanno paura nemmeno di insultare le glorie del mondo invisibile, 11 mentre gli angeli del cielo, superiori in forza e potenza a questi falsi maestri, non osano portare davanti al Signore nessuna accusa offensiva contro di loro.

12 Questi falsi maestri, come animali stupidi, agiscono per istinto e sono nati per essere catturati e distrutti. Essi offendono le cose che non conoscono, perciò periranno per la loro corruzione. Questa sarà la loro ricompensa per il male che fanno. 13 Perché la loro felicità sta soltanto nel piacere del momento. Sono come tante macchie e tante vergogne fra voi, che venite ingannati, perché da una parte gozzovigliano nelle loro feste, mentre dallʼaltra partecipano ai vostri conviti fraterni, come se fossero persone oneste. 14 Nessuna donna può sfuggire al loro sguardo pieno dʼadulterio, e non ne hanno mai abbastanza di peccare. Adescano le persone deboli e instabili, e hanno il cuore ormai avvelenato dallʼavidità di denaro. Sono uomini dannati e maledetti! 15 Hanno lasciato la dritta via e si sono perduti, seguendo la via di Balaam, figlio di Beor, che si era lasciato affascinare dal denaro guadagnato col male, 16 ma il suo folle progetto fu mandato a vuoto da unʼasina, che si mise a parlargli con voce umana e lo rimproverò.

17 Costoro sono inutili come fonti senzʼacqua, promettono molto e non danno niente; sono instabili come nuvole portate dallʼuragano. Sono condannati alle tenebre più profonde. 18 Sono questi falsi maestri che tengono discorsi pomposi, ma vuoti di significato e poi, facendo leva sui desideri sessuali più vergognosi e sulla libidine, adescano quelli che da poco sono sfuggiti allʼinfluenza di coloro che vivono nellʼerrore.

19 «Non è con la bontà che sarete salvati», dicono, «perciò potete fare quello che vi pare, siate liberi!»

Ma questi individui che promettono la «libertà» sono essi stessi schiavi del peccato. Perché ognuno è schiavo di ciò che ha influenza su di lui. 20 Infatti, dopo essere sfuggiti alle brutture del mondo, perché avevano conosciuto il nostro Signore e Salvatore Gesù Cristo, si sono lasciati di nuovo attanagliare e vincere dal peccato, perciò la loro situazione finisce per essere peggiore della prima. 21 Per loro sarebbe stato meglio non aver mai conosciuto Cristo, piuttosto che averlo conosciuto, e poi aver voltato le spalle ai santi comandamenti che avevano ricevuto. 22 Si è verificato per loro quello che dice il libro dei proverbi: «Il cane torna al suo vomito» e il maiale appena lavato torna a rotolarsi nel fango.

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.”
