Il y a eu parmi le peuple de faux prophètes, et il y aura de même parmi vous de faux docteurs, qui introduiront des sectes pernicieuses, et qui, reniant le maître qui les a rachetés, attireront sur eux une ruine soudaine.

Plusieurs les suivront dans leurs dissolutions, et la voie de la vérité sera calomniée à cause d'eux.

Par cupidité, ils trafiqueront de vous au moyen de paroles trompeuses, eux que menace depuis longtemps la condamnation, et dont la ruine ne sommeille point.

Car, si Dieu n'a pas épargné les anges qui ont péché, mais s'il les a précipités dans les abîmes de ténèbres et les réserve pour le jugement;

s'il n'a pas épargné l'ancien monde, mais s'il a sauvé Noé, lui huitième, ce prédicateur de la justice, lorsqu'il fit venir le déluge sur un monde d'impies;

s'il a condamné à la destruction et réduit en cendres les villes de Sodome et de Gomorrhe, les donnant comme exemple aux impies à venir,

et s'il a délivré le juste Lot, profondément attristé de la conduite de ces hommes sans frein dans leur dissolution

(car ce juste, qui habitait au milieu d'eux, tourmentait journellement son âme juste à cause de ce qu'il voyait et entendait de leurs oeuvres criminelles);

le Seigneur sait délivrer de l'épreuve les hommes pieux, et réserver les injustes pour êtres punis au jour du jugement,

10 ceux surtout qui vont après la chair dans un désir d'impureté et qui méprisent l'autorité. Audacieux et arrogants, ils ne craignent pas d'injurier les gloires,

11 tandis que les anges, supérieurs en force et en puissance, ne portent pas contre elles de jugement injurieux devant le Seigneur.

12 Mais eux, semblables à des brutes qui s'abandonnent à leurs penchants naturels et qui sont nées pour êtres prises et détruites, ils parlent d'une manière injurieuse de ce qu'ils ignorent, et ils périront par leur propre corruption,

13 recevant ainsi le salaire de leur iniquité. Ils trouvent leurs délices à se livrer au plaisir en plein jour; hommes tarés et souillés, ils se délectent dans leurs tromperies, en faisant bonne chère avec vous.

14 Ils ont les yeux pleins d'adultère et insatiables de péché; ils amorcent les âmes mal affermies; ils ont le coeur exercé à la cupidité; ce sont des enfants de malédiction.

15 Après avoir quitté le droit chemin, ils se sont égarés en suivant la voie de Balaam, fils de Bosor, qui aima le salaire de l'iniquité,

16 mais qui fut repris pour sa transgression: une ânesse muette, faisant entendre une voix d'homme, arrêta la démence du prophète.

17 Ces gens-là sont des fontaines sans eau, des nuées que chasse un tourbillon: l'obscurité des ténèbres leur est réservée.

18 Avec des discours enflés de vanité, ils amorcent par les convoitises de la chair, par les dissolutions, ceux qui viennent à peine d'échapper aux hommes qui vivent dans l'égarement;

19 ils leur promettent la liberté, quand ils sont eux-mêmes esclaves de la corruption, car chacun est esclave de ce qui a triomphé de lui.

20 En effet, si, après s'être retirés des souillures du monde, par la connaissance du Seigneur et Sauveur Jésus Christ, ils s'y engagent de nouveau et sont vaincus, leur dernière condition est pire que la première.

21 Car mieux valait pour eux n'avoir pas connu la voie de la justice, que de se détourner, après l'avoir connue, du saint commandement qui leur avait été donné.

22 Il leur est arrivé ce que dit un proverbe vrai: Le chien est retourné à ce qu'il avait vomi, et la truie lavée s'est vautrée dans le bourbier.

Destructive Doctrines

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be (A)false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction [a]does not slumber.

Doom of False Teachers

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to [b]hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of (B)Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and (C)delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, (D)tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then (E)the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially (F)those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. (G)They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of [c]dignitaries, 11 whereas (H)angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

Depravity of False Teachers

12 But these, (I)like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 (J)and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure (K)to [d]carouse in the daytime. (L)They are spots and blemishes, [e]carousing in their own deceptions while (M)they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of [f]adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. (N)They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of (O)Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

17 (P)These are wells without water, [g]clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness [h]forever.

Deceptions of False Teachers

18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who [i]have actually escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of [j]corruption; (Q)for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into [k]bondage. 20 For if, after they (R)have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are (S)again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For (T)it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: (U)“A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

거짓 선생과 그 대책

전에 이스라엘 백성 가운데 거짓 예언자들이 있었듯이 여러분 가운데도 거짓 선생이 나타날 것입니다. 그들은 파괴적인 이단을 몰래 끌어들여 자기들을 사신 주님을 모른다고 잡아떼며 임박한 멸망을 스스로 불러들이는 자들입니다.

많은 사람이 그들의 방탕한 길을 따를 것이며 그들 때문에 진리가 훼방을 받게 될 것입니다.

또 그들은 욕심을 채우려고 거짓말로 여러분을 착취할 것입니다. 그러나 그들은 반드시 하나님의 심판을 받아 멸망하고 말 것입니다.

하나님은 범죄한 천사들을 용서하지 않으시고 [a]깊은 지옥에 던져 심판 때까지 어두운 구덩이에 가두어 두셨습니다.

또 하나님은 옛 세상을 용서하지 않으시고 경건치 않은 사람들을 홍수로 쓸어 버리셨으나 의의 전도자 노아와 그의 일곱 식구를 구원하셨습니다.

그리고 죄악의 도시 소돔과 고모라 성을 잿더미가 되게 하셔서 훗날 경건치 않은 사람들에 대한 본보기로 삼으셨습니다.

그러나 악한 자들의 방탕으로 큰 고통을 받던 의로운 롯은 구원하셨습니다.

(롯은 그들의 악한 짓을 날마다 보고 들으면서 몹시 괴로워했습니다.)

하나님은 경건한 사람을 시험에서 건져내시고 악한 사람은 심판 날까지 계속 벌을 받게 하는 방법을 알고 계십니다.

10 특별히 육체의 정욕대로 살며 [b]하나님의 권위를 멸시하는 사람에게는 더욱 큰 벌을 내리실 것입니다. 그들은 대담하고 거만하여 두려움 없이 하늘의 존재들을 욕합니다.

11 그러나 그들보다 더 큰 힘과 능력을 가진 천사들도 주님 앞에서 그들을 헐뜯어 고소하지는 않습니다.

12 그들은 본래 잡혀 죽기 위해 태어난 이성 없는 짐승 같아서 알지도 못하는 것을 욕하니 그들도 짐승처럼 멸망하고 말 것입니다.

13 결국 그들은 악한 짓을 한 그 대가를 받을 것입니다. 그들은 대낮에 흥청대는 것을 낙으로 여기며 여러분과 함께 앉은 잔치 자리에서까지 속이고 쾌락을 즐기는 더러운 사람들입니다.

14 그들의 눈은 음란으로 가득 차서 끊임없이 죄를 짓습니다. 그들은 믿음이 약한 사람들을 꾀어 욕심을 채우는 데 단련된 저주받은 자식들인 것입니다.

15 그들은 바른 길을 버리고 잘못된 길에 빠져 브올의 아들 발람의 길을 따르고 있습니다. 발람은 악한 방법으로 얻은 재물을 사랑하다가

16 그의 잘못에 대하여 책망을 받았습니다. 말 못하는 나귀가 사람의 음성으로 말하여 이 예언자의 미친 행동을 막은 것입니다.

17 이 사람들은 물 없는 샘과 폭풍에 밀려가는 안개와 같으며 그들에게는 칠흑 같은 어두움만이 있을 뿐입니다.

18 그들은 헛된 말로 자랑하며 잘못된 길에서 겨우 빠져나온 사람들을 육체의 정욕으로 꾀어 죄를 짓게 합니다.

19 그들은 사람들에게 자유를 준다고 하면서 자신들은 [c]멸망의 종이 되어 있습니다. 누구든지 정복을 당하면 그는 정복자의 종이 되는 것입니다.

20 만일 주 예수 그리스도를 알고 세상의 더러운 것에서 해방된 사람들이 다시 거기에 빠져 정복을 당하면 그들의 마지막 형편은 처음보다 더 비참합니다.

21 바른 교훈인 줄 알면서 자신들에게 주어진 거룩한 계명을 저버린다면 그것을 모르는 편이 더 좋습니다.

22 [d]“개가 토한 것을 다시 먹고 돼지가 몸을 씻고도 다시 진탕에 뒹군다” 는 속담이 그들에게 맞는 말입니다.

False Teachers and Their Destruction

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. Many will follow their depraved conduct(E) and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 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.

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) 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) 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) and if he rescued Lot,(P) a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless(Q) (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)— 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.”

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.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

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.

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;

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;

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;

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

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.
